Chapter 87 Fireworks
"..."
This time Xia Qing was really angry, but she didn't say anything unpleasant. She just expressed her attitude in a huff, "Dubin, I heard it!"
Dubin: “…”
"Pfft..."
Xiong Shuang laughed and said, "Xia Qing, don't mind it. His hoarse voice is just like that. He didn't mean it. And he's actually quite annoying, don't you think?"
This time it was Lin Guzhi's turn to be happy. He patted Du Bin on the shoulder without saying anything, but the subtext was obvious. Du Bin could understand.
You have today too!
Dubin: “…”
However, Xiong Shuang's words did successfully resolve the disharmonious atmosphere in the private room, leaving Dubin a little embarrassed.
At this time, through the floor-to-ceiling window, you can see that the waiter helping in the hotel outside the window has already placed the first firework, lit it, and ran away.
When Xia Qing saw this, she stopped worrying about what Du Bin said and pointed out the window excitedly, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, look! The fireworks are setting off!"
After she finished speaking, she remembered something, held Xiaoxi's hand, and said, "The fireworks will be very loud, but don't be afraid, I'm here, and so is the uncle."
"Ah."
Xiaoxi nodded with Xia Qing holding her hand, and seemed to be really not afraid anymore. She stared out the window with her eyes full of longing for beauty and splendor.
——She had already seen the fireworks on Xia Qing’s mobile phone, and now she could see the real fireworks scene on the spot, and she was looking forward to it even more.
"boom--"
The sound came into the box. Xia Qing felt Xiaoxi's hand tremble. She held Xiaoxi's hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid."
But Xiaoxi's condition was actually fine. She just trembled reflexively, and her eyes were always following the light that shot up into the sky after the sound, without moving her gaze away.
"Snapped!!!!"
Spots of light exploded in the sky, and streams of light blossomed into gorgeous flowers in the night.
Xiaoxi was immediately attracted, opened her mouth slightly and watched quietly.
Xiaoxi was watching, and so was Xia Qing. However, Xia Qing only glanced at it, then turned her gaze away and looked at Xiaoxi next to her.
"Bang-bang!"
"Bang-bang!"
"Bang-bang!"
……
Fireworks bloomed one after another in the night, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private room were also printed with the light of fireworks. The brilliance penetrated the glass window again and again, and sparkled in Xiaoxi's eyes.
Xiaoxi was so focused that Xia Qing felt relieved. She looked at Xiaoxi quietly and smiled softly without realizing it.
"This big star is pretty good."
Du Bin, who was sitting next to Lin Guzhi and two seats away from Xia Qing, noticed Xia Qing and made a comment to Lin Guzhi.
Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "She is really nice to Xiaoxi. She likes Xiaoxi very much."
Lin Guzhi had also been paying attention to Xiaoxi's condition, but seeing that Xiaoxi was being taken care of by Xia Qing, he did not make any unnecessary moves.
Lin Guzhi was very happy with Xiaoxi's current behavior. Sitting here so peacefully under the loud noise of fireworks showed that Xiaoxi had slowly adapted to their life in this world for nearly a month.
This little girl, who was always wary of anything unfamiliar in another world, can finally choose to let down her guard and appreciate the beauty at certain times.
That's good. If Xiaoxi is given a little more time, she should be able to gradually accept this world and go to school, play, and accept new things like the children of this world, right?
Xiong Shuang gently kicked Dubin with his toes and warned him, "You're still commenting on others. Be careful that your loud voice is heard again."
Du Bin looked at Xia Qing again, and then he felt relieved and said, "It should be fine. The fireworks are quite loud, she shouldn't be able to hear me."
However, despite saying this, he still didn't dare to comment on Xia Qing and quietly watched the fireworks show he had arranged.
The fireworks show was not too long, but not too short either. There were many different kinds of fireworks, each one was different.
Dubin prepared a lot of fireworks, and when his fireworks were all set off, Lin Guzhi still had a lot of fireworks left. The flowers blooming in the sky quickly attracted everyone in the restaurant to the back, and soon there were many people gathered there.
Xia Qing was in a private room on the second floor, watching the grand scene downstairs, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that they came to the second floor. Otherwise, they would be squeezed outside to watch, which would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now, and the view would not be as good as it is now.
So even though Doberman is an annoying guy, I actually have to thank him.
When the last firework faded away and the show came to an end, Xia Qing turned around and asked Xiao Xi: "How was it, Xiao Xi, did you like it?"
She just asked casually, and she felt that it should be okay. Her hand was holding Xiaoxi's hand the whole time, and except for the first time, she didn't feel Xiaoxi's hand shaking.
"Ah."
Xiaoxi withdrew her gaze from the window, somewhat reluctantly.
Seeing Xiaoxi like this, Xia Qing was also very happy and said, "As long as you like it."
Yeah, as long as you like it.
Lin Guzhi nodded silently. He stood up and said goodbye to Du Bin and Xiong Shuang: "Du Bin, Senior Xiong, it's getting late, let's go back and rest first."
Xiong Shuang said: "Okay, let's go later. Be careful on the road."
It can be seen that she is the one who makes all the decisions between her and Dubin.
Xiong Shuang still wanted to try to get closer to Xiaoxi, but Xiaoxi just didn't want to communicate with Xiong Shuang. I don't know if Xiaoxi felt Xiong Shuang's dominance and didn't like it.
They left the room and went to the car. Xia Qing opened the trunk, and there was a fairy wand inside, which could be lit and held in the hand, emitting sparks.
Xia Qing took out the fairy wand and said, "Let's finish setting them off before we leave."
Lin Guzhi said: "Okay."
So Xia Qing put the fairy wand into Xiaoxi's hand and said to her, "Xiaoxi, take this. This is a fairy wand. It doesn't make any sound, but it's very beautiful."
Lin Guzhi asked the waiter for a lighter and lit it for Xiaoxi. The fairy wand started to "sizzle" in Xiaoxi's hand.
"You look beautiful like this, drawing circles."
Xia Qing was guiding Xiaoxi to draw circles with her arms, and the flame from the fairy wand also turned into a circle of fire.
Xiaoxi looked at the "masterpiece" in her hand and couldn't help laughing.
Lin Guzhi looked at it silently, thinking that compared to the second floor, this place was really quiet and beautiful.
He could almost hear the conversation on the second floor. Xiong Shuang was saying, "I'll ask the waiter later to see if this fireworks display is better or worse than when you were in college."
Dubin then explained: "How can we compare? Back then it was just a show, but now it's all real. Honey, I'm sincere."
Xiong Shuang said, "Come on, I don't believe you. Lin Guzhi and his family of three are sincere. You? You're far behind."
Dubin: “…”
