135: Chapter 135 Fireworks Just for You

By the time I arrived at Sister-in-law's place, it was already past seven o'clock, and the sky had completely darkened.

"Why are you only just arriving? It's already dark!"

Sister-in-law had a pouty look on her face the moment she opened the door; it seemed she was truly looking forward to tonight's fireworks.

"Don't be silly, how can you watch fireworks if it's not dark? Go back and put on more layers; we have to travel a bit further, and the night wind will be very cold."

"How many fireworks did you buy? Can't we just set them off downstairs?"

Although she was complaining, the sprightly way Sister-in-law went back inside to change clothes betrayed the joy and impatience in her heart.

Watching the half-open bedroom door and hearing the rustling sounds coming from within, Zhao Xiaoshuai forcibly suppressed the urge to sneak a peek.

'This girl has grown up so much, yet she still hasn't learned to avoid people. How can she still be like she was when she was little?'

'But there's no helping it. She lost her mother at a young age, and her older sister is heartless, so there was no one to teach her. And these things aren't really appropriate for me to teach, either.'

As for whether it was inappropriate or whether he simply didn't want to teach her, that was a question for another time. Sister-in-law soon walked out, bundled up tightly, and said with an excited and happy face: "Let's go, let's go! Off to see the fireworks!"

Sister-in-law skipped down the stairs and skillfully hopped into the passenger seat of the maybach:

"Brother-in-law, what kind of fireworks did you buy this time? Do you have those ones that go 'bang' and explode in a really pretty way?"

"Yes, yes, yes. You'll see when we get there. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Hehe, then I'll be waiting. If you try to fob me off with a few small fireworks when we get there, hmph."

Chuncheng couldn't be considered a big city; once you got away from the city center, the lights quickly faded away.

The car drove further and further into the remote areas. Soon, the surroundings became pitch black; there weren't even any streetlights, and naturally, there were no other vehicles on the road. Only the headlights of the maybach illuminated the path ahead.

If this were a ride-sharing car with a female passenger, this would be the point where she should jump out of the car.

"Bringing me out to this wilderness, you aren't planning on selling me, are you?"

Sister-in-law deliberately used a pitiful tone, looking provocatively at Zhao Xiaoshuai, but her whole body remained very relaxed as she leaned back in the seat; there wasn't a hint of the nervousness her words suggested.

Her level of trust in Zhao Xiaoshuai was very high.

In this world, anyone might harm her, but only her father and her brother-in-law certainly would not.

Zhao Xiaoshuai stopped the car and flicked Sister-in-law on the forehead. "You don't even have a few ounces of meat on you; who would want to buy you? It would be a losing business deal."

Clutching her head, Sister-in-law got out of the car with him, pouting. "Who says I don't have meat? I've got at least several ounces just on my chest!"

Looking out, it was pitch black; it was impossible to tell where they had arrived.

If it were an ordinary girl, even if she trusted the person next to her, she would inevitably feel a bit apprehensive.

But Chu Xinyi was still able to joke around calmly, showing that her mental fortitude was very strong.

The fireworks Zhao Xiaoshuai bought were certainly not ordinary; setting them off in the city would be very troublesome, requiring applications and reports, and the city lights would also affect the viewing experience.

Blue Charm, Sunlit Golden Mountain, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, Dingwang Terrace, Three Thousand Li of Chang'an, Eight-Foot Jade...

He had bought every single beautiful firework he had seen online, had them transported by professionals to the designated location, set them up, and installed an automatic ignition device.

Sister-in-law looked around for a long time but saw nothing. "Where are the fireworks? It's pitch black here; there's nothing at all."

Zhao Xiaoshuai took out his phone and pressed a button in an app.

The pitch-black night sky was suddenly illuminated, as if many stars had risen, and only after a while did the sound of the massive explosion reach them.

In Sister-in-law's dark eyes, little specks of starlight rose simultaneously.

When watching fireworks, it's actually best to be prepared beforehand, otherwise the massive sound can easily shake one's soul.

Chu Xinyi was completely unprepared; she had never imagined that a casual wish of hers could make her brother-in-law prepare to this extent.

It stirred up huge waves in both her body and her heart, making her heart beat faster and faster.

One firework after another bloomed brilliantly in the night sky.

Without the interference of city neon lights, everything seemed even more magnificent.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The sound of the fireworks exploding grew louder and more rapid, and the lake of Chu Xinyi's heart was turned upside down by each explosion.

She stared dazedly at this fireworks show performed for her alone, the expression on her face gradually becoming lively, turning exceptionally happy and joyful.

"Wow! It's too beautiful! It's even more beautiful than the ones I've seen online!"

The most moving moments are when one is stirred by emotion.

Watching Sister-in-law jumping up and down, dancing with joy, Zhao Xiaoshuai was momentarily stunned.

In this desolate wilderness where there was no one else, in a world that only contained the two of them, could they temporarily let go of everything and, relying solely on the palpitations in their hearts, try to do something?

But before he could make any move, Sister-in-law suddenly ran over, threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on his face.

"Brother-in-law, thank you! You really are the best, best, best person to me!"

In a trance, he seemed to recall the past.

When the little girl was just in junior high, having become familiar with her "future brother-in-law," she would have similar reactions when receiving gifts from Zhao Xiaoshuai.

Back then, the little girl wasn't tall; when she threw herself at him and he held her in his arms, it was just like holding a daughter, and when she kissed his face, there were no extra thoughts.

This complex feeling, blending many different types of identity relationships, suddenly made him feel a sense of guilt.

He extinguished all the emotions that shouldn't have been there and quietly accompanied Sister-in-law as she watched the fireworks.

There was one box of each type of firework, seventeen boxes in total.

Because he wanted Sister-in-law to enjoy them properly, Zhao Xiaoshuai set them off one by one.

Sister-in-law's neck became sore from looking up, so the two of them sat down on the snow.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, being taller, sat down and leaned against the car, while Sister-in-law lay down on his raised knees.

From beginning to end, she kept her eyes fixed on them, as if she would never tire of watching.

Because so much time had passed, the tip of her nose and the tips of her ears were frozen bright red.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was now very warm-blooded, reached out his hands and covered them. "Are you cold? Do you want to go back into the car to warm up? We can set off the rest later."

"No, no, I want to watch them all!"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Tonight was destined to be the most memorable day in Chu Xinyi's life so far.

Even in her next life, there would not be a day more profound than today.

Living life isn't about living for days or years, but about living for certain moments.

"Brother-in-law?"

"Hmm?"

"Brother-in-law."

"I'm here."

"Brother-in-law~"

"What on earth do you want, you little brat?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to call you."

"Is your brain frozen?"

"Hehehe..."

Amidst Sister-in-law's bell-like laughter, the long fireworks show finally came to an end.

Although the fireworks had dissipated, the light they bloomed with would forever exist in someone's heart, never to be extinguished.
