To Jin Long's surprise, he found himself unable to turn down this rare opportunity. Naturally, he didn't hesitate for a second. So, it was that Gong Xin joined the group setting up the firecrackers.
As the moment to light them drew near, Jin Long, mindful of Gong Xin's safety, kept a careful eye on her. Normally, after lighting the firecrackers, one would dash off to the front with joy. But this time, Jin Long stayed close, protecting the young woman behind him, not caring if the firecrackers might explode in his direction.
With a series of "pop, pop, pops," the firecrackers erupted, fireworks lighting up the night sky.
The glow of the flames illuminated their faces, and Gong Xin turned around, her smile radiant like a blooming flower. Her eyes, full of affection, fell on the tall man before her, who was carefully watching over her.
The children around them cheered, hands clapped to their ears, reveling in the spectacle.
