A Young Woman's Heart

But she couldn't make a sound right now, so she quickly covered her mouth and tried her best to hold it in.

Chapter 158 Fireworks in the Clouds (Part 2)

(One)

"Shh-"

Hua Yinyin, who was at the front, crouched down and moved over first, putting her index finger to her lips to signal everyone to be quiet.

This made Mo Xueyao want to laugh even more, because what everyone was doing was just too ridiculous.

Even Mr. Xue completely lost his usual elegance and demeanor, looking like a womanizer preparing to sneak into a woman's home.

But in order not to let everyone's efforts go to waste, she could only endure it and think about some sad things.

But at times like these, I can't think of any sad things, and all that pops into my mind are funny things.

For example, Duanmu Ji slipped on the stairs last time; Yang Yankai pinched cow dung with his hands to demonstrate during agricultural training; and he even hit a hole in his badminton racket while playing badminton...

She kept telling herself not to think about it, but her mind was completely out of control, leaving her with a deep sense of powerlessness. Even as she couldn't help but laugh, she also pondered the true nature of humanity.

One by one, the group crouched down under the security booth and quietly slipped past Hua Yinyin, who had arrived earlier. They rounded a slender willow tree, and everyone's pace quickened involuntarily. Finally, everyone safely made it to the back of the corner.

With the wall providing cover, everyone relaxed a little.

Hua Yinyin walked at the front, stood in front of the half-open back door, and gently pushed the door open little by little.

"Squeak... creak..." The old back door made a slight, uncontrollable sound when it was pushed, but it could only be pushed open a crack before it wouldn't budge.

Hua Yinyin could only muster a little more strength.

"Crash!" The back door suddenly shook, making a sound like chains scraping against the ground.

Everyone was startled, but Mo Xueyao finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Pfft, hahaha, hahaha..."

Wang Jiale hurriedly covered her mouth, but couldn't stop her laughter.

Fortunately, just as she started to laugh, a car drove by on the side of the road. Its headlights were on like the sun, and the driver was honking the horn like he was drunk. In response, a large truck was coming from the opposite direction.

The truck honked its horn, making a sound like thunder right next to your ear.

At this point, everyone disregarded the noise they might make and rushed into the back door.

All the noise was drowned out by the loud horn.

After rushing through the back door, everyone ran up several floors in one go, only stopping when they reached the sixth floor.

The trucks and cars finally disappeared into the distance.

The empty street fell silent once more.

"Huff...huff...thank goodness, I escaped a disaster..." Hua Yinyin gasped for breath, looking helplessly at Mo Xueyao, "Little Yaoyao...what were you doing just now..."

"It's nothing..." Mo Xueyao said a little embarrassedly, "I just thought it was funny and couldn't help but laugh."

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Yu Shu gently patted her chest, as if she was about to choke on the air: "Just now, I thought... I thought I was going to be caught..."

"Thankfully, there were car horns. Anyway, we made it up." Wang Jiale straightened up. "Okay, now we can slowly walk upstairs, right?"

"Hmm, there are a dozen or twenty floors in total? Anyway, we can just go to the top floor. The door to the rooftop only has a chain lock, which can be pushed open a crack to squeeze through."

"Don't get upstairs only to find you can't go to the rooftop!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Hua Yinyin reassured Cha Li with her hands on her hips. "I've personally investigated this!"

Unlike apartment buildings, the stairwells here don't have automatic sensor lights. Downstairs, you can still see some light from the streetlights, but the higher you go, the darker it gets. People walk side by side in pairs, venturing into the darkness.

People are afraid of the dark, but when a group of people are together, they are not afraid at all, and may even feel a little excited, as if their bodies are constantly secreting dopamine.

Exploring the unknown and dispelling darkness is probably one of humanity's greatest pleasures.

Fire was perhaps invented in the first place to defeat them.

Of course, no one brought fire, but they could use their phone screens to light up the road.

—Okay, actually it doesn't illuminate the steps at all; at most, it just makes everyone's shadows clearer.

Filled with excitement about the upcoming fireworks display, no one felt tired. When they reached the rooftop, they were even surprised at how quickly they had arrived.

Even Yu Shu exclaimed, "Hey, we're here already?"

"We're here! We can overlook the city from outside! Hmm—see, I told you we could open a big gap, let's go to the rooftop!"

Although the rooftop of the building had some protective measures, it was still much simpler than that of Yukong High School.

It is surrounded by only a ring of iron fences about half a person's height. If you lean forward even slightly, you may lose your balance and fall.

So everyone intentionally stayed away from the edge, since it wouldn't affect their view anyway.

The dark clouds overhead seemed almost within reach.

The high-rise buildings in this city are different from those in the suburbs.

The suburbs are surrounded by flat land and farmland. Standing on high ground, you can see more natural scenery, much like the view from a mountaintop.

But from the rooftops of high-rise buildings in the city, you can see the entire bustling city.

Among those rows of five- or six-story buildings, there are a few towering skyscrapers.

Although many billboards seemed to be dark on the way here, from a high vantage point, one could still see the colorful signs flashing, dispelling the darkness and bringing a sense of civilization to this land.

"Dong—dong—" In the distance, the clock tower emitted a long, resonant sound that carried far through the quiet street.

And so, the quiet streets were no longer quiet, and the peaceful city was no longer peaceful.

It was like an empty beer bottle crashing heavily onto those iron-like clouds, like a champagne bottle suddenly popping open after being shaken—

"call out--"

"Bang—crack—crash—"

Fireworks, countless fireworks, shouted and made their final sounds in this brief moment, blooming in the sky and then falling softly. Immediately afterward, more fireworks took their place, blooming and falling softly as well.

Mo Xueyao looked up, captivated by the sight.

She felt she should have brought some alcohol.

For some reason, at this moment, she really wanted to drink.

And it's right now, I don't want to think about it at any other time, it's right now.

"Where are our fireworks!" Hua Yinyin's shout woke Mo Xueyao, who quickly put down the bag she was carrying.

"Mine is here!"

"I brought a lot too!"

"I brought some too." Mr. Xue put down his backpack, which contained two medium-sized, cardboard-like multi-shot fireworks.

Everyone took out their fireworks. Suddenly, Cha Li nudged Mo Xueyao's arm mysteriously and handed her a 125ml green bottle of white wine.

"Huh?"

"Erguotou, huh? Xiaoyao can drink it, right?"

"It will be..."

She smiled mysteriously and took out three more bottles from another pocket and two trouser pockets: "How can we celebrate the New Year without wine?"

"Hey... be careful, don't fall in after drinking."

"It's alright, those who are drinking are safe as long as they stand on the side of the door where they came up."

“I’m fine, but others might not be…” Mo Xueyao couldn’t help but lick her lips. “Give me a bottle.”

"One bottle?"

"Ok!"

Mo Xueyao took the liquor from Cha Li, impatiently unscrewed the cap, and poured the liquor down her throat.

More fireworks lit up the city sky, reflected in her blue eyes.

Mr. Xue lit the two box-shaped fireworks first, and then led the others to the door.

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

"Could it be that the snow got wet and it can't be released?"

"hold on."

"Where are the fireworks! Where are the fireworks!" Hua Yinyin grabbed Mo Zhuyou's shoulders, and the two of them jumped up and down together, as if they wanted to fly into the sky with the fireworks.

"They're here!" Mr. Xue raised his voice.

"call out--"

Sure enough, a burst of fireworks shot into the sky, and then became more and more numerous.

Fireworks were being set off everywhere in the city, and all the fireworks seemed to echo each other in the sky like shouts from the people.

Countless fireworks, fireworks of all colors, surged relentlessly into the sky.

At that moment, the power of the fireworks seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth, and even the dark clouds that had been gathering in the sky for many days seemed to be dispersed.

"Come on, let's drink!" Cha Li poured himself a glass of baijiu.

She even brought disposable cups so that everyone could get a little.

However, the only ones actually drinking were Mo Xueyao and Hua Yinyin.
