Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In an instant, the two little figures wilted at a visible speed.

Their plan had failed.

The aroma of the delicious dishes were urging the group to move faster, prompting them to quickly finish up with the fireworks and start dinner.

“Is my Brother-in-law going to light the fireworks?”

“Of course.” Jiang Danhe rolled up his sleeves and got into a stance. “I’m very good at this. I’ve never burnt my hands before.”

“None of us did!”

As soon as he said that, the few of them almost fell for it. He made it sound like everyone else had burnt their hands before.

Without caring if it made Jiang Danhe look bad, Xiaoguo was the first one to laugh out loud . Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi also laughed along, without any trace of the pitiful look that they were wearing on their faces when they were rejected by the group earlier on.

Ruyi had thoughtfully prepared small sparklers for Xiaoguo, Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling. This was the first time she had seen such products. The stall owner said that they were very safe and suitable for women and children.

Upon hearing that, Ruyi bought a bunch of the sparklers immediately. They were perfect for women like Xiaoguo, who were afraid of fireworks, and children like Xiao Zhu, Yu Ling, Zhuang Zhuang, and Xiaoyi.

Look at how considerate she was…

After handing the sparklers to Xiaoguo, Ruyi ran off to pick out the fireworks. She remembered that there was a super beautiful one that she had to set off personally.

Xiaoguo distributed the sparklers to Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling before handing some to the two boys.

Watching the two boys take the sparklers reluctantly from her, Xiaoguo thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Go ahead.”

Xiaoyi didn’t understand what she meant, but Zhuang Zhuang did. He stuffed the sparklers back into her hand and happily pulled Xiaoyi away.

In a daze, Xiaoyi stuffed the sparkler back into her hand and ran towards the crowd with Zhuang Zhuang.

“Sister Xiaoguo, is that alright?”

Yu Ling asked worriedly. The two children were still young. Would it be too dangerous for them to touch the fire torches and fireworks?

“It’s alright.” Xiaoguo smiled and shook her head. She looked up and said, “Look over there.”

Yu Ling looked over curiously. Even though Xiaoguo had allowed the boys to join the others, the adults would not allow the two boys to set off the fireworks by themselves. Someone would have to help them with the torches.

“I’m not late, am I?”

As they were choosing the fireworks, an unfamiliar and mature male voice sounded.

A tall man appeared in front of them, illuminated by the light of the lanterns. Wearing a smile as he looked at them, he seemed very sociable and easy-going.

“I want to join in too. Let’s set off the fireworks together. I’ll pick one…”

He mumbled to himself and behaved like he was on familiar terms with everyone who was present.

The corners of Xiaoguo’s mouth trembled involuntarily. “So the other seat was reserved for him.”

But did he really not notice a few unfamiliar faces among the group?

Shao Zhan picked out one firework. At this moment, he finally realized an awkwardness in the air.

Then he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce himself.

“Hello, I’m Xiaoyi’s father.”

After taking off his dragon robe, he was just an ordinary child’s father.

“It’s too quiet at home and there’s just the two of us spending the Lunar New Year together. But the brat had run away from home, so I’m the only one left at home. It’s so lonely…”

Except for the few who knew him, the others in the group felt a sense of pity towards him. Their hearts were also aching for Xiaoyi. It turned out that the two of them were so pitiful, without a wife or a mother.

“Of course! You’re Xiaoyi’s father, so you’re our friend.” As Ruyi spoke, she took the initiative to let him choose the fireworks. She said generously, “You can choose whatever you want since you’re so good-looking. Hehe…”

Shu Botong and Li Shouji were on the verge of vomiting blood. Just moments ago, she nagged at them non-stop for taking an extra lantern. But now, she was actually saying that!!

It couldn’t be helped. Ruyi’s old habit was acting up again. Whenever she sees a good-looking man, she becomes very tolerant. Although Shu Botong and Li Shouji weren’t ugly and could also be considered as handsome, the two of them always looked like they deserved a beating.

Xiaoguo looked like she had just been struck by lightning. Ruyi had actually flirted with the emperor!!

As expected, it was good that she didn’t know Xiaoyi’s identity. Otherwise, she would definitely behave like Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu, who were now hiding behind her.

“What’s wrong?”

Ruyi asked curiously as she looked at the handsome man who was holding back his laughter.

“Nothing.” Shao Zhan pursed his lips and said with a smile, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such unadulterated praise.”

“Huh? Hahahahaha…”

Although Ruyi didn’t quite understand what he meant, she could still roughly guess. It seemed that her new friend quite enjoyed hearing people praise him for his looks.

“Let’s set off the fireworks quickly. All those delectable dishes are getting cold…”

Apart from feeling a little guilty at first, Xiaoyi was completely fine now. His father didn’t look like he was going to punish him, so he was completely relieved.

When everyone else heard Ruyi’s words, they quickly carried their fireworks to the empty space.

Zhuang Zhuang and Jiang Danhe set off one firework first. As Xiaoyi was still young, he also needed someone to help him with it.

Shao Zhan walked over slowly and hugged the fireworks that Xiaoyi had chosen, while tossing a glance over at him.

Xiaoyi felt uneasy all over.” What’s up with this look, like he’s going to get even?”

Six or seven big fireworks were arranged neatly in a straight line. The few people lit up the torches in their hands and after exchanging glances with each other, they lit the fireworks and ran off together.

In an instant, a series of fireworks were shot into the sky above the general’s residence. The scene was so spectacular that it attracted the attention of everyone else in the residence. They put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and came out to admire the short fireworks show.

Xiaoguo threw away the spent sparkler in her hand and got ready to cover her ears. The sound of these six or seven big fireworks exploding together would definitely be deafening.

Jiang Danhe ran over and placed his hands over her ears.

Xiaoguo looked up at him, and he looked down at her. With eyes locked on each other, they exchanged smiles. There was no need to say anything.

At this moment, the fireworks in the sky exploded, instantly illuminating the entire sky.

Xiaoguo couldn’t hear anything else at this moment. All she could hear was her own heartbeat. Her eyes were focused on the other party’s mouth. 𝒇𝙧𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝙢

Jiang Danhe’s confession was drowned out by the sound of fireworks, but Xiaoguo still heard him very clearly.

“You make my heart flutter more than the fireworks.”

At this moment, Xiaoguo suddenly laughed. Feeling enchanted, Jiang Danhe kissed her in the moment of darkness when the fireworks temporarily disappeared. When the fireworks bloomed again, he quickly let her go.

The whole sequence of actions was swift and moving.

Jiang Danhe was so shy that he didn’t dare to look down at Xiaoguo. However, he could feel her gaze that was making his heart flutter.

If he lowered his head, he would have noticed Xiaoguo’s loving gaze.

At the dining table, a large table filled with delicious food was laid out in front of them. The few of them dined and laughed until midnight.

Amidst their conversation, they found out that the two extra chairs were for the father and son. Jiang Danhe also told them how he knew about it even though the other party did not tell him in advance.

Like father, like son. If Xiaoyi ran away, the father would definitely do the same too. This festival was supposed to be a day of reunion, eating together, and enjoying the festivities together. After one of them left home, there was only one person left in the house. Therefore they should just run away together.

It was so lively here. Shao Zhan had not felt so happy in a long time. He finally understood why Xiaoyi liked hanging with this group so much. Now, he was also feeling reluctant to leave.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the group lit the fireworks for the countdown.

Li Shouji wiped the grease from his mouth and blew on the torch excitedly. Finally!! This was finally the moment. He would definitely dazzle them with the fireworks.

Li Shouji was indeed a smart and creative guy. He wasn’t exaggerating at all. When the fireworks exploded in the sky, it was the most beautiful and stunning fireworks the group had ever seen.

Xiaoguo couldn’t help but admire him. It was quite an amazing feat.

The fireworks lasted for a long time. The few of them leaned against each other and looked up to admire the wonderful display in the sky.

Although each firework only lasted for a moment, the scene of the group standing side by side was a sight for everyone to remember.

Even though Xiaoyi was unwilling, he was eventually taken away by Shao Zhan.

Since they had sneaked out, the two of them had to go back quietly. It wouldn’t be good if they were discovered by those people in the palace..
