"Aren't you cold? Aren't you wearing a down jacket?" Ye Wan couldn't help but ask.
"No need." Gu Yunting had never felt cold. He could wear a single layer of clothing outside in winter without any problem.
Ye Wan, "..."
She felt it was so unfair. Why were girls so afraid of the cold, while men, one by one, seemed to have furnaces inside them, completely unafraid of the cold?
Downstairs, Ye Wan stopped paying attention to Gu Yunting and went to play with her younger brother, who was also bundled up like a ball. The siblings walked out hand in hand, and Xiao Ju Zuo also toddled along. Because Xiao Ju Zi was too young, Ye Wan was afraid it would freeze, so she told Sun Ma to look after it and not let it go out.
Gu Yunting bought a lot of fireworks, big and small, as well as many for children. Ye Wan and Ye Cheng, the siblings, lit handheld fireworks and shrieked with joy.
Ye Cheng had never played with fireworks before. He was so excited that he kept spinning around. Ye Wan quickly moved away from him, afraid that her new clothes would be burned through. The siblings were truly happy.
Gu Yunting set up the large fireworks and waved for Ye Wan to come and light them. Ye Wan ran over happily, took the burning incense stick from his hand, smiled, and ran to light the first firework, then moved on.
"Ch-boom!" With a bang, the first firework shot into the sky, blooming into a giant, colorful flower ball against the black backdrop, beautiful and dazzling.
Ye Cheng was stunned. He looked up, his small head tilted, and he stared blankly at the beautiful blooming flowers in the sky, his small mouth forming an 'o'. The second one rose, then the third... He immediately dropped the small fireworks in his hand and rushed over, wanting to set off the big fireworks too. Now, he felt that those small fireworks were not cool at all; big fireworks were cool!
Fortunately, Gu Yunting had bought enough fireworks, and the siblings played to their heart's content. Gu Yunting watched the girl's smile bloom under the fireworks and felt it was even more brilliant than the fireworks in the sky.
Seeing that Gu Yunting had only been responsible for setting up the fireworks, letting her and Ye Cheng play, Ye Wan felt it wasn't right. She ran over and took the initiative to set up the firework tubes, telling him to go and light them.
"I don't like playing with them. You play," Gu Yunting said, shaking his head.
"Try it! How will you know if you like it if you don't try? Hurry up," Ye Wan insisted that he try.
Gu Yunting smiled helplessly and went to light one. Watching the firework soar into the sky, Ye Wan took out her phone and almost knelt on the ground to take a picture of him and the fireworks.
After taking the photo, she quickly put away her phone, not wanting him to discover she was secretly taking pictures of him.
Gu Yunting had already looked over and asked, "What are you taking pictures of?"
"Nothing, nothing. You set them up, I'll go light fireworks." Ye Wan, blushing, ran towards him and they swapped tasks again.
Gu Yunting, "..."
The two adults and one child played for over an hour, and they still hadn't finished the fireworks. Gu Yunting, afraid Ye Wan would get cold, took her and Ye Cheng back.
Tigers are afraid of fire. The little creature had long since run back to enjoy the warmth.
After returning, Gu Yunting took out two large red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to Ye Wan and one to Ye Cheng, calling it New Year's money.
Ye Wan happily checked how much he had put in. Upon opening it, she saw ten thousand yuan. Ye Cheng also received ten thousand yuan. Gu Yunting was never stingy with money. Giving out red envelopes was just for good luck, hoping Ye Wan would have a smooth year.
Before midnight, Ye Wan also received large red envelopes from Madam Lin and Lin Zehan. She accepted them and offered them auspicious greetings.
Jiang Mi and Jiang Yan felt that they had received their houses and cars because of Ye Wan, so they also sent her large red envelopes.
