Seeing that the atmosphere had eased enough, Fang Yu handed the little horse pendant in his hand to Liu Yifei.

"Here, your horse."

Liu Yifei looked at the pendant, her cheeks still flushed.

She waved her hand: "I don't want it... It's too embarrassing."

"Here, take it. I bought them all." Fang Yu shoved the pendant into her hand.

Liu Yifei held the fluffy little horse in her hand and hesitated for a moment.

Then, she looked up at Fang Yu and said very seriously, "This is for you."

"Give it to me?" Fang Yu was taken aback.

"Mm." Liu Yifei nodded, a beautiful smile curving her lips.

After saying that, fearing that Fang Yu would ask more questions, she quickly added another sentence and looked away.

"This year... isn't it the Year of the Horse? Consider it a New Year's gift."

Fang Yu was taken aback upon hearing this.

It turns out it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather... a premeditated plan?

He hesitated for a moment, which was unusual, before reaching out to take the little horse keychain.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Thank you for your New Year's gift."

A minor "bargaining incident" came to an end in this joyful yet slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

In the live stream, viewers who were just laughing so hard at the "bargaining genius" were suddenly overwhelmed by this unexpected sweetness.

【Aaaaaaah! What did I just hear?! "I was originally going to buy it for you!" What kind of idol drama plot is this?!】

She got shy! She turned her head away! Yu Ge was stunned too! So cute!

[This is such an amazing, subtle way of showing affection!]

The video of "Liu Tianxian bargaining down to her ankles" has gone viral online.

Countless netizens were amused by her adorable yet earnest demeanor.

The hashtag "[A genius at bargaining]" has also surged to the top of the trending searches with unstoppable momentum.

Countless passersby became fans of her because of her genuine, down-to-earth, and unpretentious personality.

Rear command post.

Looking at the soaring data on her phone and the unanimous "hahahaha" and "the fairy is so cute" comments in the comment section, Liu Yifei's agent, Sister Hong, fell into deep thought.

She felt that the "ethereal" goddess persona she had painstakingly built for Liu Yifei seemed to have gone in the wrong direction.

Do people nowadays prefer beauties who are "not very bright"?

……

At the market.

With a wave of her hand, Fang's mother addressed Fang Daqiang:

"Dad, let's put these things back in the car first, then drive them home."

"Otherwise, we won't have anywhere to put the New Year's goods we buy later."

Fang Daqiang naturally had no objection and nodded:

"Okay, whatever you say."

Fang's mother then turned to the two young people and said:

"Xiaoyu, Yifei, you two can browse around some more and see if there's anything you want to buy."

"Your dad and I will take the things back first, so we don't have to carry them around."

"We'll come back later and go grocery shopping together."

Fang Yu nodded, agreeing readily:

"Okay, Mom, you guys go ahead."

"I'll walk around with Yifei some more."

Liu Yifei obediently echoed:

"Okay, Auntie and Uncle, please drive carefully on the road."

Fang Daqiang and his mother left happily.

In the bustling market, only Fang Yu and Liu Yifei remained.

Without the elders present, the atmosphere seemed to become somewhat awkward.

Just moments ago it was lively and bustling, but now it has suddenly fallen silent. The two are standing half a meter apart, and neither of them has spoken first.

The camera captured this slightly awkward silence and broadcast it live to viewers across the country.

Oh dear, your aunt and uncle are gone, time for some alone time!

Why does the air feel sweeter? Say something! You two, say something!

[Fang Yu! You blockhead! Be more proactive!]

Just as the viewers in the live stream were getting impatient and scratching their heads, Fang Yu finally made a move.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei, who was still savoring her recent social death experience and whose cheeks were slightly flushed. He curled his lips into a mysterious smile.

"Come on, let me take you to buy some fun things."

"Fun?" Liu Yifei looked up, a hint of curiosity in her clear eyes. "What to buy?"

"Essential items for Chinese New Year".

Fang Yu kept her in suspense, not saying it directly, but instead led her through the bustling crowd towards the other end of the market.

The further you walk, the more familiar, slightly pungent the smell becomes in the air.

That smelled like a mixture of sulfur and saltpeter.

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up instantly.

fireworks!

Countless romantic images immediately popped into her mind.

Is it one of those sparklers that emit golden sparks when you hold it in your hand?

She could hold a fairy wand and draw a big heart in the night, then have Fang Yu take a picture of her.

Or, is it one of those small firecrackers that explode with a "pop" when thrown on the ground?

Although it's a bit childish, it should be fun for two people to play together.

She imagined it in the quiet, snowy night in Kaoshantun.

The two stood in the courtyard, lit a small firework, and watched it bloom with brilliant colors in the sky.

Just imagining that scene makes it feel as beautiful as a movie plot.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and her steps became much lighter.

However, when Fang Yu led her to a fireworks stall that was arguably the largest in the entire market, Liu Yifei's smile gradually froze.

This stall was completely different from the kind of small shop selling cute little fireworks that she had imagined.

This place is practically a makeshift "armory".

Underneath the enormous tent, there were piles of cardboard boxes half a person's height, printed with all sorts of powerful-looking patterns.

Names like "Tiger Descending the Mountain," "Dragon Soaring Across the Seas," and "Resounding Through the Clouds" exude an aura of formidable power.

The stall owner was a burly man from Northeast China, wearing a greasy military overcoat. He was sitting on a small stool with a cigarette in his mouth, staring fiercely at the passersby.

Fang Yu ignored the beautifully packaged, seemingly "girlish" fireworks and walked straight to the back of the stall.

He pointed to a black, cylindrical firework that looked like a small cannon barrel and asked in a strong voice:

"Boss, how many Gatling guns are in a box?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw a big customer opportunity. He threw his cigarette butt into the snow and stood up enthusiastically.

"Dude, you have great taste! This is going to be a hot item this year!"

"Twenty-four sticks in a box! Powerful, fast-firing, it's incredibly satisfying to fire them all in!"

Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, give me a case."

"Okay!"

Liu Yifei stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.

Gatling gun?

Isn't that a gun? Fireworks can have that name?

Before she could recover from the shock, she saw Fang Yu point to a box of long, narrow fireworks with a rocket design printed on it.

"Two bundles of 'Sky Piercing Monkeys', please."

"Give me two bundles of those 'double-bang' firecrackers over there too."

"And that one, yes, the biggest one, 'Ten Thousand Echoes of Red Earth,' give me the longest one!"

With each item Fang Yu mentioned, the stall owner's smile grew brighter, and he deftly began moving the goods out from behind the stall.

Liu Yifei felt that her worldview had been violently impacted once again.

The romantic fireworks display she had imagined seemed... a little different from the scene before her.

This isn't about buying fireworks!

This is clearly stockpiling ammunition for a local war!
