The summer night’s darkness arrives later than usual, the entire sky shrouded in night, with twinkling stars as the only embellishment.
The crowded beach is already packed with people, vying to choose the best spots, afraid they might miss the arrival of the fireworks rain.
The fireworks rain here is quite unique, not ordinary fireworks, but ones with specially designed shapes, rumored to have heart shapes, star patterns, even calligraphy and blooming flowers.
For this era with poor communication and slow development, this is already a rare spectacle, a novel sight for the wealthy to feast their eyes on.
However, for Gu Tong, this isn’t rare at all, nor is she here just for the novelty.
Her main goal is the romantic sentiment in a young girl’s heart, sitting on the beach with Li Yan, watching the fireworks rain in the sky; it’s just perfect.
Of course, the premise of all this is that it’s just the two of them...
Gu Tong despairingly gets bumped by an passing auntie, who crackles sunflower seeds while speaking in a standard Qingdao accent, "Dui bu qi ha." The aunt was saying sorry.
Gu Tong’s mouth twitches, the romantic scene in her mind is shattered as if struck by a huge hammer, leaving not even a trace.
Where’s the promised romance for just the two of them...
Where’s the promised beauty under the fireworks rain...
Completely turned into a noisy assembly where people are packed shoulder to shoulder...
Gu Tong’s face wrinkles together, about to be squeezed into a bun.
"Did it hurt from the bump?"
Li Yan’s caring voice rings out, he wraps his arm around Gu Tong, protecting her in his embrace, saying, "There are a lot of people here, be careful."
In that warm moment, surrounded by his protection, Gu Tong is engulfed in happiness, her eyes turning into heart shapes.
"Her Earl is too irresistible, she’s going to have a hard time resisting..."
In an unexpected moment, the sound of fireworks exploding echoes in the sky, the opening fireworks soar out of their box and burst beautifully in the sky.
Various colors mix in, presenting rose shapes, representing the opening fireworks as the first to launch.
The dark night is baptized by this ray of light, becoming the most beautiful color in the darkness, and the fireworks begin to change shape, with everyone eagerly anticipating its next form.
The main event has arrived, this round of fireworks is what everyone anticipated, with blooms like shooting stars, carrying an extraordinary sense of holiness.
The deafening sound paints a captivating scene, enough to draw everyone’s attention.
However, at this moment, Gu Tong and Li Yan’s gazes pull back, both fixated with tension at their surroundings, adopting a kind of vigilant observation.
They trust their ears, moreover, they are certain they weren’t hearing things! Among the sound of fireworks, there was another sound mixed in, for instance――――a weapon sound!
Both having spent years amidst scenes of gunfire, are highly sensitive to such sounds!
Moreover, not only that, they can identify the type of weapon by the sound!
It’s now certain that was a laser! And a new model at that, one that Longxing Country doesn’t possess.
This single fact is enough to make their hearts leap into their throats!
