Chapter 20 – Fireworks

After the New Year, many small restaurants opened one after another on the street, and there were more people on the street. There were fireworks on the square surrounding the lake for several days and nights, and there were many snack carts crowded together.

Chi Tang was tired of staying in the house and went to the square with You Yu to wander around. The snow is melting, it is colder than before, and the cold wind is blowing.

Chi Tang didn’t bring any extra clothes when he came here before. This one was bought in a nearby store, and she also bought a down jacket with You Yu.

You Yu didn’t want it at first. She brought her change of clothes, but Chi Tang couldn’t stand the thin clothes she wore in the winter, as if she was also freezing, so she took a piece just like her. The down jacket was paid for, and finally, Youyu could only accept her kindness to put it on.

The two of them wore the same down jackets and stood by a deep-fried stall in front of the square. Of course, this was what Chi Tang wanted to eat.

The fried lotus root skewers and sausage chicken fillet in the oil pan were sizzling, and the fragrance was rich. The boss asked them their taste and whether they could be spicy while moving neatly to pick up the fried skewers in the pan and spread the sauce. Sprinkle with chili powder, give them a lunch box for each of them, and let them eat while carrying them.

Chi Tang didn’t particularly like these small snacks but with You Yu by her side, she wanted to let You Yu taste them along with her.

In You Yu’s opinion, her deskmate bought more and ate less, and in the end, it was all left for her to finish.

Looking at You Yu’s thin figure, Chi Tang secretly contrasted with her waist and thought to himself: If you ate a few more times, she would be fatter than her at the same table.

The two stood on the road to eat deep-fried, fireworks appeared on the other side of the lake, reflected in the lake, the splendid fireworks bloomed instantly. Although the fireworks in the small county were nothing special, and the appearance of the explosion was not particularly fresh, the less experienced You Yu could not help but be attracted, looking at the opposite shore and the lake could not look away.

Chi Tang slowly chewed the lotus root slices and stopped to watch together. The two stood under the bushes on the road around the lake, across the street from the crowds of the square, and the street lights were dim, and they could not see everything nearby.

When the short show of fireworks was over, the two people continued to move forward. The cold air was mixed with the scent of winter plum. There are about a few winter plum trees still blooming nearby.

“Do you want to set off fireworks?” As the two walked back, Chi Tang suddenly wanted to set off fireworks.

You Yu, “Forget it, let’s go back.”

Chi Tang didn’t listen to her, so she ran to the shop next to her and bought two dozen fairy sticks, gave a dozen to You Yu, took one out, and lit it with a lighter.

“Puff puff–“

This little firework bursts with light and heat, shaking in Chi Tang’s hands, the light was fleeting and very briefly illuminated their hands and faces, and the smiles around them.

“Light yours! It’s going out!”

One turned into two, and when Chi Tang’s sparks were about to burn out, You Yu also lit up the sparks in her hand, like a passing light. Before she got home, the two dozen fairy rods had burned out.

Throwing away the last stick, Chi Tang turned to You Yu with raised her eyebrows, “You said that you didn’t want to play, I think you are having fun.”

You Yu blinked and stopped talking.

She thought she didn’t want to play, but now she understood that she did want to play, but she didn’t dare to say that she wanted to play. From a young age, she didn’t dare to say what she wanted to do. She got used to the only things the family asked her to do. Now, she still has a lot of fear.

Chi Tang: “Is it fun?”

You Yu: “It’s fun.”

Chi Tang pulled her into a hug, “Then we’ll continue to play tomorrow.”

The next night, the two of them could not go out to play. Chi Tang went out alone and went to the nearby supermarket to buy sanitary napkins for You Yu. You Yu had her menstruation early, and neither of them had thought of that. You Yu was staying obediently. Waiting in the toilet for her to go back with the sanitary napkins and painkillers.

Chi Tang hurriedly left the supermarket after shopping. This was the old area, there were few people at night and there were no lights on the street. She walked out and suddenly felt that someone was following her and another person’s footsteps echoed.

When she turned the corner, she pretended to look back inadvertently and found that there was indeed someone behind, a strange man, a little chubby, and she became nervous. She glanced in front of her, and there was a small shop next to her that was still open with the light on. She immediately ran over.

When she walked in, she went to the stand beside the shelf in the small shop, she turned her head and saw the man slowly approaching and stopped diagonally across the street.

Is this person following me? Chi Tang looked back with courage as if she was looking at the man. After a while, the man saw that she hadn’t moved before slowly walking away.

Chi Tang exhaled, still not at ease. When she finally left the grocery store, she had a newly bought mop in her hand, carrying the mop, and her heart, she got home without incident.

You Yu came out of the toilet and saw the newly bought mop, “Why did you buy a mop?”

Chi Tang poked her phone vigorously, “Someone followed me on the road so bought it as a weapon for self-defense.”

You Yu was taken aback, “What?”

Chi Tang: “It’s not a big deal, I’ve encountered it before.”

She used to be alone at home. Sometimes she would encounter this kind of thing when she went out at night, and she became vigilant when she encountered it more often.

With a worried face, You Yu sat down in silence, and calmly her back: “It’s okay, we’ll two go out together from now on. Don’t go out alone.”

Chi Tang finally dropped the phone, her sullen face showed a smile as if she was amused by You Yu’s nervousness: “Why are you more scared than me?”

You Yu said seriously, “This is a terrible thing, so we must pay more attention.”

After that, she didn’t let Chi Tang go out alone, and even in broad daylight, they were together.

During the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, two people cooked glutinous rice in the room, one for each.

“We are going back.” Chi Tang said suddenly.

After playing with the rest of the glutinous rice balls, You Yu looked up at her.

Chi Tang also glanced at her: “It’s okay, I called and asked the headteacher, he said your father had left early.”

You Yu: “Then will you be okay?”
