Chapter 1192: Chapter 700: Crashing the Booths Together, Watching Fireworks Hand in Hand (Part 3)
Boss: "..."
The two of them hugged a bear and left, placing the items back in the car before heading to the fireworks site.
Meanwhile, the target shooting boss welcomed a family of four!
Jiangjiang squeezed into wherever the crowd was lively, yet he never bumped into Jiang Chengsi.
"Jiang Wenyan, itâs about time, we should go watch the fireworks." Jiang Yanting felt that if he let him continue like this, the kid wouldnât want to go home tonight.
"Itâs the New Year, let him have fun." Shen Zhixian chuckled.
...
After the boss bid farewell to that very cool little girl, he almost got driven to death by Jiangjiang.
Forget it, canât do business like this, might as well close up shop and go home.
Jiangjiang wasnât really interested in toys, he usually had enough to play with, it was just for fun, but from the bossâs perspective, it seemed like he was causing trouble...
Jiangjiang pulled Taotao along, and they almost played through everything in the night market.
"When did you learn all this?" Jiang Yanting saw that his "skills" didnât seem like a first-timer, especially in comparison to Taotao, one a master, the other a novice.
"Fourth Uncle taught me."
Jiang Yanting: "..."
As expected.
Earlier, Jiang Chengsi called him asking for the fireworks festival location, presumably wanting to join the fun too:
Jiang Chengsi, you better not let me catch you!
**
On the other side, Jiang Chengsi placed two large plush toys in the back, and perhaps due to the plush material tickling his nose, he sneezed twice.
"Caught a cold?"
"No, better find time to wash the toys when we get home." Left outdoors for a long time, inevitably collected some dust.
When they arrived at the fireworks site, it was already close to midnight. Apparently, there was a big fireworks show scheduled for midnight, and quite a few people had already gathered nearby.
They came fairly early, so their spot was closer, but as time approached, crowds surged from all directions, and a large group swarmed around them. With so many people, inevitable jostling ensued.
Before it hit midnight, small clusters of fireworks lit up, she intended to snap some photos, but the constant jostling around made her arm unsteady, causing the image to shake.
Suddenly, someone bumped her arm hard.
"Sorry!"
She frowned, about to give up on taking photos, when someone pressed down on her left shoulder. She turned to look, assuming someone accidentally bumped into her since Jiang Chengsi stood on her right, but saw hands reaching around from behind her, prompting her to turn again and look at the person on the other side.
Without a word, Jiang Chengsi slightly pulled her towards his side.
She shuffled over in small steps, her other shoulder nearly touching Jiang Chengsiâs chest, while the person beside them continued apologizing.
"Does it hurt where you got bumped?" With the surrounding din, Jiang Chengsi leaned closer, lowering his voice a bit.
"Itâs fine." She pressed her lips tightly.
Jiang Chengsi released her shoulder then, and the surrounding cheerings rose as the instant fireworks brightened the night sky...
Jiang Chengsi didnât stand beside her but positioned slightly behind, almost enveloping her entirely in his protective zone, keeping the moving crowd from jostling her again.
The entire fireworks show lasted half an hour, and she thought it would be best to leave after it ended, with so many people, all pouring into the parking lot would make it hard to leave. Watching Jiang Chengsi from the side:
"Letâs leave now."
"What did you say?" The booming fireworks drowned out her words.
"I said, letâs go!" She raised her head, getting closer to him?
"Leave?" Jiang Chengsi leaned down.
"Too many people later, itâll be hard to move." She slightly raised her voice, her breath falling heavily on his face.
Amidst the cold wind came inexplicable hints of sweetness.
Jiang Chengsi nodded, but with so many people, squeezing out wasnât easy. He initially intended for her to walk in front when realizing it was hard to forge ahead.
Furrowing his brow slightly, he moved ahead himself and naturally gripped her wrist.
She stiffened, her heart abruptly clenched.
His fingers were wide and warm, holding her wrist, the heat from his palm intensely burning.
She stayed close behind him, while Jiang Chengsi paused suddenly...
"Whatâs wrong?" She frowned.
"Nothing."
Due to Jiang Chengsiâs superior height, it was easy for him to survey the surroundings. He casually gazed around, aiming for less crowded exits, only to spot Jiangjiangâ
Apparently, Jiangjiang saw him too.
He sat on Jiang Yantingâs shoulders watching the fireworks. Originally Jiang Yanting wanted Taotao to ride, but being a little girl in a dress, she refused, allowing Jiangjiang the opportunity.
Initially focused on the fireworks, after 20 minutes of display, the visuals turned tiresome, prompting him to casually scan the crowd, and unexpectedly...
Spotted his Fourth Uncle.
Taking a closer look...
Someone was trailing behind him.
Not that Jiangjiangâs eyesight was exceptionally good, to see the person behind him at a glance, but rather, with the two forging against the flow, they stood out dramatically.
Ahâ
Fourth Uncle!
Among thousands here, Jiang Chengsi hadnât anticipated spotting Jiangjiang, he gestured for quiet and swiftly pulled his company through the throng.
In such a crowd, how is it that, once again, he was caught red-handed by this sly little rascal?
This scheming little one, likely heâll conspire to "blackmail" me again.
Jiangjiang kept his eyes fixed on them, widened with disbelief...
Again... holding hands!
Internally he grumbled:
Adultsâ mouths are deceitful.
One deceives him that sheâs not the Fourth Aunt, the other his New Yearâs money, adults truly are "bad people."
Despite his misgivings, he tried to please him fearing his displeasure, with everyone at home carefully "catering" to him, only to discover, he sneaked out for a date? Indeed deceiving everyoneâs feelings.
Yet tells me sheâs not my Fourth Aunt, so whatâs this then?
"Jiangjiang?" Jiang Yanting noticed the little guy twisting, his gaze not on the fireworks, but persistently looking back, posing a danger, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Jiangjiang quickly shook his head.
The soaring flames illuminated his small face brightly.
Jiangjiang now only regretted not asking for more New Yearâs money at the time.
