Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 309: Fireworks Display

Shen Feng was confused. Who would send a courier on the night of New Year’s Eve? That person must be crazy! He was upset and lowered his voice. “I don’t know who’s that son of a b*tch. Is it her crush?”

Fu Qingxuan’s eyes became alert as he confidently shook his head. “No.”

This man was just here to deliver something on behalf of his master. His boss should be the one who wanted to pursue this meanie.

‘Who’s that person? Even his errand boy has such an aura.’

Fang Zhu left.

Shen Xi closed the door and felt like her heart was doused in honey. Her eyes were overflowing with joy and took the gift to her room like it was a treasure.

Shen Feng snatched her gift from her. He was so agile and pulled out the gift quickly. At a glance, it was just a red packet, so he frowned and looked scornful. “New Year’s money? How snobbish.”

Shen Xi glared at him fiercely and grabbed it back, holding it in her arms like a baby. “Do you wanna die?!”

Shen Feng looked at her and snorted in contempt. “He sent just a red packet so late at night. What kind of people are you friends with?”

Shen Xi bared her teeth. “It’s none of your business, *sshole!”

‘What’s wrong with a red packet? Even if it’s just a red packet, I’m happy. It’s New Year anyway, so there’s nothing wrong with receiving a red packet, right?’

Fu Qingxuan frowned and felt suspicious. ‘All this trouble just to send a New Year’s gift. It can’t just be a red packet!’

Shen Feng looked at Shen Xi holding the red packet like it was some treasure and nudged Fu Qingxuan. “Don’t you think it’s too shoddy…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Jinping suddenly pointed to the sky in delight. “Look over there! The fireworks are so beautiful! It’s a kitten’s paw!”

Shen Xi looked up and saw that far away, cat paw prints were blooming in the air. The paw prints were getting closer and the sound of the fireworks was getting clearer.

The chubby little paws formed a cute little kitten’s head mid-air and then there was a message: Happy New Year.

Fu Qingxuan looked at the fireworks display in the sky with cold, deep eyes. His hands hanging at the side were clenched to fists. ‘I knew it wouldn’t just be a red packet… a fireworks display, huh? That’s some effort!’

Shen Feng was oblivious. This was the first time he saw such an interesting fireworks display and thought that it was magical. “Our town’s so generous to arrange such a lovely fireworks display!”

This was the first time he saw such a fireworks display and already knew that it would take a lot of effort.

Yun Jinping looked at her husband. “Who did this? It’s so beautiful! I’ve never seen such fireworks all my life!”

Shen Zhangqing nodded and said, “Yeah, this takes good planning. They need to get the location and timing right for the fireworks to make such beautiful patterns accurately. I didn’t hear anything about the town organizing a fireworks show this year though…”

The fireworks that were set off at large parties and celebrations were also not as complex as this.

Shen Xi tilted her head towards the sky. Her eyes were a little misty and her heart was throbbing so much that it felt like jumping out of her chest. ‘So, this is the gift Brother gave me.’

She recognized the kitten’s head. It was the same as the portrait she drew of Toffeecito.

Shen Zhangqing pondered for a moment and asked, “Honey, don’t you think that the cat looks like our little Toffeecito?”

Yun Jinping laughed. “Don’t all cats look alike? How does it look like Toffeecito? I think you just miss Toffeecito too much!”

This was also the first time Du Juan and Shen Zhanglin saw such interesting fireworks. Shen Zhanglin turned to look at his daughter, who was standing next to him looking up at the sky. He was heartbroken, but at this moment, he made up his mind.

‘No matter what, we’ll have to cure Tangtang’s eyes. We’ll move to the capital and be wherever my daughter will be. Even though it might be unfamiliar and we’ll have to start all over again, as long as our family can be together, that’s more important than anything else.’

The fireworks had long since dissipated in the air without a trace. However, the people watching the fireworks were still staring at the sky and only came back to their senses after a long time.

Shen Feng flicked Shen Xi’s head. “What are you still looking at? It’s done! Time for our fireworks!”

The town was quiet for a while before firecrackers started cracking again. Apparently, everyone was just like them, enjoying the fireworks display, and forgot to set off their own firecrackers and fireworks.

That night.

Even in her sleep, Shen Xi was smiling as she dreamed of Brother and held his hand lustfully. When she woke up, she happily rolled around in bed.

The thin layer of snow in town had melted away by the morning.

In the capital, it snowed heavily. The snow was thick, up to one’s calves.

Kun Lun took out a blanket and looked in the direction of the door.

The man was in a black coat with a red scarf around his neck. He stared tenderly at the Spring Festival couplet on the front door as if he was looking through it to see his favorite person.

Kun Lun walked over and put the blanket on the man’s lap, then respectfully reminded him. “Boss, it’s the first day of the New Year. We should go back.”

When Ms. Shen left, she put up the Spring Festival couplets on their door. Looking at the handwriting, he could tell that it was hers.

After the video call with Ms. Shen yesterday, Boss came straight to the villa and stared at the Spring Festival couplets for a long time.

In the morning, he got up early and went to the front door to stare at the couplets again.

“Okay,” Li Yuan answered. His narrow eyes were gentle as he finally looked in the direction of the gate and rolled his wheelchair away. The smile at the corner of his lips still did not disappear.

He liked this gift from his girl very much.

‘I wonder if she likes my gift.’

Last night, Shen Xi did not dare to send him a message for fear of disturbing his rest. When she got up and took her phone, she did not expect him to have sent a message before she did.

Brother: I like your gift very much.

Shen Xi happily rolled back and forth several times before replying: I also like the fireworks.

Brother: You’re up?

Shen Xi: Why are you up so early?

Brother: Busy today.

Shen Xi: Have you eaten yet?

Brother: No, I’m going back to the mansion.

Shen Xi: Across the street from our neighborhood, right next to the bus stop, there’s a vendor that sells pancakes and soy milk. It’s very good.

Brother: Okay.

Shen Xi waited for a while and saw his message: It’s the first day of the New Year.

She slapped her head and smiled as she typed: Oh right! Everyone’s at home for the New Year.

Brother: When you come back, I’ll buy you some.

Shen Xi was flattered and typed: Really? Don’t lie to me.

Brother: I won’t lie to you.

Since receiving the gift last night, Shen Xi’s heart had been overjoyed that she wanted to fly. She even forgot about Fu Qingxuan leaving.
