Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

The fireworks display featuring the 18 Gatling guns lasted for nearly a minute before gradually subsiding.

The night sky still held the smell of gunpowder and lingering embers, as if a grand battle had just ended.

Fang Yu loosened his embrace, and the warm touch disappeared, leaving Liu Yifei still somewhat dazed.

She looked down at the huge, empty paper tube still emitting wisps of smoke in her arms, then looked up at the nonchalant man beside her, feeling as if she were having a bizarre yet thrilling dream.

"How was it? Was it fun?" Fang Yu's voice came from the side, with a hint of a smile.

Liu Yifei nodded subconsciously, then felt that her reaction was too "unladylike", so she quickly shook her head. Then she felt that shaking her head was also wrong, and in the end she could only stare blankly at Fang Yu, not knowing what expression to make.

Her brain was still in a state of malfunction after extreme excitement.

What did that feel like just now?

It was the thrill of my heart pounding in my chest, the intense tremor from the recoil, and the immense sense of accomplishment of watching the sky ablaze with fire, a fire I had created myself.

And... when he hugged me tightly from behind, that sudden, blush-inducing sense of security made my heart race.

"It's...it's alright." Liu Yifei struggled for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out this utterly unconvincing statement.

Her cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, her eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to look at Fang Yu at all.

Fang Yu laughed even harder when he saw her adorable, contradictory expression.

"Alright, stop pretending. You're practically drooling." He mercilessly exposed her lie. "Come on, there's more fun to come!"

Without saying a word, he grabbed Liu Yifei's hand and led her toward the pile of "arms".

Liu Yifei's hand was grasped by his large hand, the temperature of which was even hotter than the heat wave from the fireworks explosion.

She made a symbolic struggle, but couldn't break free, so she reluctantly followed him.

The viewers in the live stream were so overwhelmed by this unexpected display of affection that they were almost fainting.

[Aaaaaaah! He grabbed her hand! He did! I'm dying!]

[This isn't fireworks, it's practically a paid dating show! Isn't the production team going to do anything about it?! Oh, the production team doesn't seem to be here… never mind then.]

[I declare that Fang Yu's "human cannonball" moment just now is the best boyfriend moment of the year, bar none!]

[Hey, did you forget about the ring toss? Did you forget to put your shoe on one knee? Fang Yu is practically a walking boyfriend material generator!]

……

Meanwhile, another group of guests in Sanya also began their fireworks show.

Hua Yu's team went all out for this live stream.

They booked an entire private beach at the most luxurious resort hotel in Sanya.

On the beach, thousands of candles were arranged to form a giant heart shape.

Dozens of drones hovered in the air, taking pictures from various angles to ensure that every shot was beautiful enough to be used as wallpaper.

At the director's command, the fireworks that had been set up beforehand rose into the sky simultaneously from all directions of the beach.

Unlike Fang Yu's simple and direct "Gatling gun," Hua Yu's fireworks focused on "artistic flair."

Fireworks burst into various exquisite patterns in the sky, with meticulous color matching, designed by a professional designer, creating a sophisticated and romantic effect.

Hua Yu, dressed in a white suit, stood in the center of a heart-shaped candle, tilting his head slightly, his face bearing a melancholy yet affectionate expression.

Ju Jingyi, dressed in a flowing white dress, stood beside him, hands clasped together, making a wish towards the sky.

The sea breeze blowing through her long hair made the scene as beautiful as a music video.

As they had hoped, the live stream chat was filled with exclamations of "So beautiful" and "So romantic."

However, this admiration did not last long.

Soon, discordant voices emerged.

[It is indeed very beautiful, but...why does it feel a little fake to me?]

[Yes, it's like a staged wedding photo. It looks good, but it always feels like something's missing.]

What's missing? A bit of soul! A bit of warmth and energy!

[Fang Yu next door has practically set the village on fire, and you guys are still leisurely placing hearts here? Are you kindergarten kids playing house?]

[Exactly! Did they call that setting off fireworks? They called it 'Defending Kaoshantun'! What you did was at most... lighting a mosquito coil that made a sound.]

[Hahaha, the mosquito coil is making a loud noise, what a steal! But honestly, after watching Fang Yu's 'battle scene,' watching this side just feels rather dull.]

Ju Jingyi stood next to Hua Yu, maintaining a perfect smile on her face, but inwardly she was ranting and raving.

She wants to play with a Gatling gun too!

She also wants to ride a dog sled!

She also wanted to experience the joy of popping popcorn!

Why should I?!

Why is it that Liu Yifei gets to have so much fun?

Am I just supposed to stay here with this narcissistic madman, letting the sea breeze blow and watching these ridiculously fake fireworks?

As she gazed at the slowly unfolding rose pattern in the sky, she silently made a wish.

Please, God!

Next life, no, next show!

Could you please change my partner to Fang Yu?

Even going to Northeast China to clean up manure would be better than staying here and pretending to be cool with Hua Yu!

Hua Yu had no idea what her partner was really thinking.

He remained immersed in the "romantic prince" persona he had created, and even picked up a microphone and recited a poem with deep emotion to the camera.

"The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to seek the light..."

However, before he could finish reciting his poem, the number of viewers in the live stream began to plummet at a visible rate.

Countless viewers, upon hearing Hua Yu's heartfelt recitation, unhesitatingly chose to exit and then clicked into Fang Yu's live stream next door.

……

In Kaoshantun, at the Fang family's courtyard.

Fang Yu pulled Liu Yifei to a box with the words "two-stage firecracker" printed on it.

He took out a thick firecracker that was longer than his forearm and handed it to Liu Yifei.

"Here, try this."

Looking at the heavy object in her hand, and then at the malicious smile on Fang Yu's face, Liu Yifei asked warily, "This... is the recoil strong?"

"Not big," Fang Yu answered decisively. "This has no recoil, it's just a rocket."

"A rocket?"

"Yes, once it's lit, it will fly into the sky by itself and then explode in the air with a really loud 'bang'," Fang Yu explained. "It's simple, you'll definitely be able to do it."

Liu Yifei took the "double-bang" with some skepticism.

She mimicked what she had done before, carefully lighting the fuse with the incense stick in her hand.

"Sizzle—"

Sparks flew.

Just as Liu Yifei was about to imitate Fang Yu and shout "Run!", she pulled him to hide under the eaves.

However, she hadn't had a chance to speak yet.

There was a loud "whoosh" sound!

The firecracker in her hand, like an out-of-control rocket, trailed a long tail of flame and flew out at an angle instead of heading into the sky!

It skimmed along the ground, drawing a breathtaking line of fire across the snow, heading straight for the corner of the yard where the makeshift toilet, constructed of planks and tarpaulin, was located!

"Holy crap!" Fang Yu's expression finally changed at this moment.
