Chapter 245 Fireworks
Is it so late?
Li Xiuyu glanced at his phone, a trace of fatigue in his eyes. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. His parents took his grandparents home for a reunion dinner, and the whole family was noisy and it was so late.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, the house was brightly lit, and the adults set the table and played cards.

Chatting casually with Hu Mengdie on QQ, Li Xiuyu suddenly looked up at Li Zhuangsheng with an instigating look.

Li Zhuangsheng silently looked at the people playing cards, but his eyes didn't show much interest. Li Xiuyu frowned slightly when he saw this. Li Zhuangsheng had been in this state for several days, sometimes in a daze, a little distracted, and no one knew what he was thinking about. He didn't say anything when asked, like a girl who was forcibly defiled.

"Eh!"

Li Xiuyu stepped forward and patted Li Zhuangsheng on the shoulder. Li Zhuangsheng raised his head but did not react.

"Let's go!" Li Xiuyu glared and muttered softly.

Li Zhuangsheng then remembered their agreement and said with a lack of interest: "Go tell mom."

Li Xiuyu nodded and walked quickly to Chen Lanying: "Mom, Li Zhuangsheng and I will go out to set off fireworks and be back soon!"

"Why are you going out so late at night?" Chen Lanying raised her eyes.

"Li Zhuangsheng had a fight with a girl, so I took him out to have some fun and relax!" Li Xiuyu lied.

"Hu Mengdie?" Chen Lanying's eyes became ambiguous.

How can you quarrel with an ordinary girl like this? You must have quarreled with your partner!

"Yes, yes, it's her!" Li Xiuyu confirmed immediately.

Chen Lanying looked at Li Zhuangsheng from a distance, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She had noticed that Li Zhuangsheng had been in a bad state recently, and almost thought that her son also knew about "that thing", but his attitude these days was no different from before, so she was relieved.

This matter could be told to Li Xiu Yu, but she couldn't let Li Zhuangsheng know it too.

Now hearing what Li Xiuyu said, she thought it was probably a relationship problem between boys and girls, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

She had heard about Hu Mengdie's confession to Li Zhuangsheng. Although she didn't know what their current relationship was, interfering too much in such matters would only annoy Li Zhuangsheng. As someone who had experienced this, she knew very well that children of this age were in a rebellious period and didn't like their parents to control them too much. Moreover, Li Zhuangsheng had become more mature and sensible recently, so he should know his limits.

Besides, she had met Hu Mengdie and had a very high opinion of her. If Li Zhuangsheng dated such a polite and pretty girl, it would not be a disadvantage.

"Okay, then don't go too far, just play it at the doorstep." Chen Lanying instructed.

"okay!"

Having received approval, Li Xiuyu naturally agreed without thinking twice. She quickly pulled Li Zhuangsheng and excitedly went out carrying large and small bags of fireworks.

"Where do we put it?"

Li Xiuyu and Li Zhuangsheng each rode an electric bike, and Li Zhuangsheng asked indifferently.

"There are too many people around here, let's go somewhere farther away!" Li Xiuyu smiled.

Two electric cars passed through the colorful night, surrounded by firecrackers and fireworks, and people's laughter and joy. This day was, of course, a happy day.

Come on, stop looking so sad all the time, be happy on New Year’s Day, don’t make others unhappy too! Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he forced himself to cheer up. No matter what, after struggling for so many days, the result will still not change! Don't think about it for now, even if it's just an escape, just relax and have a good New Year!
"I know a place where we can set off fireworks, and there are not many people!" said Li Zhuangsheng.

"Where?"

"Just follow me!" The two came to a remote little park. Li Zhuangsheng stopped the car and found that this place was much more lively than he had imagined, although it was still relatively empty.

"How do you know this place?"

Li Xiu Yu put down the plastic bag full of fireworks, rubbed his hands, looked at the fireworks set off by others, and looked around curiously.

Because we have been here before, in the future. Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself. It seems that this place is more lively now than it will be ten years later.

"I heard it from others." Li Zhuangsheng said casually.

"is it?"

Li Xiuyu took out various fireworks with a smile, not minding Li Zhuangsheng's perfunctory attitude at the moment. She could feel that Li Zhuangsheng was in a much better mood, and she thought he was looking forward to setting off the fireworks.

The two men first took out a bag of firecrackers, which contained ten in total. They each took five.

"Oh, I forgot to bring my lighter!" Li Xiuyu touched his pocket, revealing a trace of regret, "Let's go borrow one from someone else."

"I knew you were forgetful. I brought it."

Li Zhuangsheng smiled slightly, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit up Li Xiuyu's cigarette first, and then lit his own.

The two men held up their rapid-fire fireworks and looked up at the sky. There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and the night had already been illuminated red by all kinds of festive fireworks and firecrackers.

“When did you buy the lighter?”

"I didn't buy it. I stole it from the card table." Li Zhuangsheng smiled evilly. "And I took their lighters when I left. If they want to smoke again, they can only light the gas stove."

Li Xiuyu laughed when he heard this: "Hahahaha, well done! I hate the smell of cigarettes the most!"

A firework shot out from the long tube, and then a brilliant firework bloomed in the sky. The two looked up at the beautiful fireworks and smiled slightly.

The fireworks faded out, and then another beautiful firework bloomed.

However, it eventually came to an end, and soon, the rapid fire stopped. Li Zhuangsheng shook it gently to make sure that the one in his hand was gone.

He suddenly remembered the scene of setting off fireworks with Hu Mengdie before his rebirth... Actually, it hadn't been that long. He was reborn around the Lantern Festival, and the scene of setting off fireworks before that was still vivid in his mind.

Hu Mengdie pointed the rapid-fire gun at the sky, looking frightened. Seeing this, Li Zhuangsheng held her hand tightly, and the two of them fired one gun after another together.

She said that when she was a child, she liked the brilliance of fireworks, but was afraid of the dark sky, which she felt was like a monster that could devour everything and made her feel weak in the knees. When Li Zhuangsheng heard this, he immediately said with great enthusiasm that as long as he was there, the monster would not hurt her...

Damn it, why did he think of such an embarrassing scene again! The damn boomerang always slapped his face.

Therefore, you must stay calm when you are in love, especially if you are thin-skinned.

"It's gone, it's gone, light another one!" Li Xiu Yu casually threw away the burnt-out firecracker.

Li Zhuangsheng didn't throw it away immediately, but waved it in his hand a few times. When he was a child, he liked to pick up these burned-out cannons to play with. For a child, this was not garbage, but a wishful golden hoop stick!
"Hey, you monster, take a stick from me!"

Li Zhuangsheng waved the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" and suddenly hit Li Xiuyu.

"You are so bold, Bi Ma Wen, you even beat your master. I'm going to recite the tight spell!" Li Xiuyu glared, grabbed the stick and shouted angrily.
