Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao’s hand that was holding the fireworks paused, and she turned to look at Chu An.
It was unknown if Chu An did it on purpose, but the place he was squatting was very close to Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao had only turned her head, and the two of them were directly nose to nose.
They were so close that they could feel each other’s breathing.
Gu Xiao fell into Chu An’s gentle eyes. Then, she couldn’t be bothered about Mrs Chu and the others at the side, and stepped forward slightly, and after giving Chu An a light kiss on the corner of his lips, she quickly retreated.
“Yes, I like it very much.”
Wei Xuexi had originally planned to wait for Gu Xiao to finish taking the fireworks before she stepped forwards to take them.
However, when she saw this sudden scene, Wei Xuexi’s eyes flashed. She glanced at Chu Zi, whose expression was filled with teasing humor, and reached out to pull Chu Zi’s hand.
“Alright, let’s go to the side and take a look first.”
They would come over after Gu Xiao and Chu An were done.
Wei Xuexi sighed and pulled Chu Zi, who still wanted to continue watching the show, away to watch Mrs Chu set off fireworks.
When Gu Xiao came back to her senses, she realized how bold her actions were just now. Everyone around her was Chu An’s family.
Gu Xiao belatedly felt a trace of shyness. She carefully looked up and sized up her surroundings. Seeing that Wei Xuexi seemed to be having fun with Mrs Chu, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu An looked at the adorable reaction and pursed his lips, and felt as if he could still feel the softness just now.
He naturally couldn’t tell Gu Xiao that Chu Zi and Wei Xuexi had seen their actions just now. He suppressed the joy in his heart and tried his best to be as calm as possible. “Don’t worry, Mother and Sister-in-law didn’t see it.”
Gu Xiao coughed lightly and glanced at Chu An. She casually took a sparkler from the cardboard box and stood up.
“Let’s go set off the fireworks too.”
Chu An naturally had no reason to disagree. He nodded and stood up to set off the fireworks with Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao felt that the blush on her face had completely disappeared, and only then did she really focus on the fireworks. Only then did she realize that she did not have a lighter in her hand.
Gu Xiao subconsciously cast her gaze at Chu An, who happened to take out a lighter from his pocket.
“I prepared this a long time ago.”
Chu An didn’t smoke, and he never had anything like a lighter on him. It was only when he was preparing the fireworks that he remembered that he needed to light the fireworks, so he specially bought a lighter for Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao took the lighter from Chu An’s hand and lit the bottom of the sparkler.
The moment the lighter touched the sparkler, sparks exploded in the area, crackling in the night.
The warm orange-yellow firelight shone, so gorgeous that people could not take their eyes off it.
However, at this moment, Gu Xiao subconsciously looked at Chu An beside her and met Chu An’s focused eyes.
It turned out that she wasn’t the only one who wasn’t attracted by the dazzling fireworks of the sparkler. There was a person around them who attracted their attention more than the fireworks.
Gu Xiao looked at Chu An’s smiling eyes and suddenly thought of a sentence she had read somewhere before.
“A sparkler can burn for nine seconds and instantly release 18 billion flames, more than the stars in the Milky Way. That’s why I called you out to set off fireworks. I wanted to give you a sky full of stars.”
Gu Xiao thought, Does Chu An know what this means? Looking at Chu An’s eyes, Gu Xiao felt that it didn’t matter if Chu An didn’t know.
After all, even if he did not know, he had already placed the best thing in front of her.
Sparklers burned very quickly. When the last spark of the sparkler disappeared into the night, Gu Xiao leaned forward slightly and kissed Chu An again. However, this time, it wasn’t just the corner of his lips.
Chu An had missed the opportunity previously, so how could he miss it again?
The moment Gu Xiao kissed him, he raised one hand and placed it on the back of Gu Xiao’s head, cutting off her escape route.contemporary romance
The two of them kissed gently in the dark night before slowly separating.
Chu An’s hand rubbed the back of Gu Xiao’s head a few times, and he looked at Gu Xiao seriously and affectionately. “Do you still want to continue playing?”
Gu Xiao smiled at Chu An. Before Chu An could react, she reached out and pushed Chu An away.
“Of course!”
With that, Gu Xiao turned around and walked towards the cardboard box.
Chu An put his hands in his pockets and looked at Gu Xiao’s back. He smiled silently and followed..
