Qiu Li was in an extremely happy mood, and even the annoyance that had accumulated from dealing with student union affairs for days disappeared without a trace.

"Sister, I can't breathe..."

Not until he heard the lovely person in his arms begging for mercy did Qiu Li reluctantly let go of his arms, pinched the other's nose, and teased.

"I thought you were going to say you were choking."

I thought about it, turned around and looked at it very seriously.

"Hmm... that shouldn't be the case. If it was Sister Qiu Ru who came, it might be similar."

I have to say that even sisters still have some differences.

Not only in terms of its own combat effectiveness, but also in terms of "combat effectiveness" on the other hand. Although age is a factor, is this the so-called bloodline suppression?

"..."

"Guwu...Jiejie, I'm happy..."

“Are you suffocating now? (laughs)”

"Know your own confidant..."

Time always passes quickly without us noticing.

While the waiters continued to bring me delicious food, desserts and drinks, I was chatting with Sister Qiu Li.

Occasionally looking at the crowd in the restaurant, or the TV screen hanging from the ceiling.

The local program channels depicted various bustling and lively city scenes as Christmas Eve approached, and I was surprised to find that the time was slowly approaching 7:30.

"Do you know why I brought you to this restaurant?"

While stirring the drink in front of him, Qiu Li asked the person next to him who was attracted by the show on TV.

"tasty?"

"Superficial." Sister Qiu Li chuckled and tapped my forehead, then looked at her phone screen. "Well, that's about right. Look outside the window."

Outside the window?

I turned around and looked, but didn't see anything strange, so I was about to ask.

Sister Qiu Li began to count down quietly.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

For some reason, I seemed to hear the sound of countdown in other seats next to me, and even the faint sound of the host of the program channel counting down on TV.

"Seven, six, five..."

By the time I came to my senses, there were only a few numbers left in the countdown.

"Four, three, two..."

Soon, I understood the significance of this action.

"one!"

Because as the last sound fell, almost at the same time, a bouquet of flowers like a shooting star rose into the bright night sky, blooming into golden and magnificent fireworks.

It was like the baton dropped at a concert, signaling the beginning of everything.

In an instant, countless fireworks rose up from every corner of the city, including the riverside, city center, square, etc., decorating the night sky with their beautiful colors.

People on the streets and in the shops couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Employees in the building and families in the residential buildings looked out of the windows.

Shengcheng High School, in the brightly lit teaching building.

"Christmas Eve, it's almost been half a year."

Qiu Ru looked at the brilliant night sky outside dotted with fireworks, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Sister Qiuru, if you don't come, the food will be eaten up by these boys."

"Hey, hey, don't frame the good guys. It's obviously you girls who eat the most!"

"Bah, you guys just took away my shrimp paste."

Looking back at the lively scene in the classroom, Qiu Ru smiled and joined in.

Inside the private hotel restaurant.

"Hey, Shiyi, put down my pudding!"

"No, come chase me~"

"You two childish ghosts... Shisha, what's that in your hand... Hey, isn't this the last piece of cake? I haven't even eaten it yet. Here..."

"(bite)"

"It's been a long time since it's been this lively."

Xiao Qiangwei looked at the scene in the restaurant where many members of the guild were gathered and playing, with a gentle gaze.

Luo Qingying, who was standing next to him, smiled and teased, "Don't act like an old woman."

As soon as the words fell, bright fireworks outside the window suddenly lit up the night sky, and at the same time lit up the eyes of many people in the hall who turned their heads to look.

On the streets of Xiangshuli.

"Sister Youyou, the view over there is better."

"No, I can't fall behind this guy!"

"Xiao Qian wants to go there too."

With Loli's instructions, the people next to her were naturally happy to do the hard work.

Except someone.

"Yaya, shall we go over there and watch the fireworks too?"

“You can’t eat that kind of thing.”

Looking at the foodie loli in front of him who was waiting attentively in front of the dessert station, Mu Shui felt like crying but had no tears.

"It would be nice if An An was here too."

Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, Yiwen suddenly said.

Not only her, the two sisters next to her also looked a little lost, as if the previous excitement and happiness had faded a lot.

An Rou smiled slightly and patted the heads of the little ones.

"Anyway, Xiaotong and Xiaoli can also see such beautiful fireworks, which is equivalent to everyone being together, right?"

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it, but they can definitely feel the lively atmosphere."

"Maybe he even left us and went out to play."

It was the comfort of everyone, or perhaps it was just the nature of a child.

Soon the little guys recovered and clamored to go somewhere else to play.

There was a constant stream of people on the streets and the fireworks above their heads were brilliant and dazzling.

Those blooming fireworks.

Just like the bright moon over the sea, just like the end of the world at this moment.

Chapter 17: A Changed Mind

The night sky is filled with colorful fireworks.

Under the night sky are the twinkling lights of the city, forming hazy golden veins and spreading towards the distant skyline.

It seems as if the two sides are connected at some inadvertent moment, leaving such a beautiful picture of the city night scene deeply reflected in everyone's eyes.

Looking at the little guy next to him with his hands on the window, he and other people in the restaurant cast their gazes towards the fireworks blooming in the night sky.

A cute little face reflected a clear and delicate outline under the bright light, and the pupils also dimmed as the fireworks rose, flowing with a clear light.

Qiu Li smiled slightly.

"Now you know why I brought you here?"

"Yeah." I nodded vigorously, looking at the dazzling scene outside the window, "The fireworks are beautiful!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was gently hit by the person next to him.

"I didn't just bring you here to see the fireworks." Qiu Li took his hand back and held me while looking out the window. "After rehearsals in the afternoon, you must have gone back to the dormitory to continue playing games, right?"

My sister already knew my current identity, and she had heard before that there were a few more children among the students in the school, which was why Qiu Li was not too surprised before.

"Ah."

When my thoughts were discovered, I suddenly felt guilty.

"It's okay to like playing games, but you can't get too addicted to them. After all, the outside world is also very beautiful. You should also go out more with your friends and spend more time with your family, especially during such a lively festival."

Qiu Li touched my head, and when I was thinking about something, he handed me the phone, "Also, your phone has been ringing for a long time."

"Eh."

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to pick up the phone. After hearing the voice from the other end, I realized that it was my mother calling.

"Xiaotong, are you having fun playing with Youyou and the others?"

I stuck out my tongue, "Yeah, I'm happy. Mom, are you still busy at work?"

"I'm done with my work. Your dad is now forcing me to go out for a walk." Although her tone was somewhat complaining, I could clearly feel my mother's excitement, as if she had returned to her teenage years more than ten years ago.

At this moment, my mother's phone was suddenly taken away, and my father's calm and gentle voice was heard.

"Ahem, Xiaotong, remember to tell Xiaorou and the others not to play outside too late and to be safe."

"Okay, I will, Dad. You too."

I suppressed my laughter.

"so be it……"

My father's voice on the other end hesitated for a moment, and finally added a sentence.

"Merry Christmas Eve, Hitomi."

I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly reacted, "Merry Christmas Eve, Dad, Mom."

After hanging up the phone.

Looking at the phone in front of me, I couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Merry Christmas Eve.

It has been a long time since I heard my parents say this to me, or it has been a long time since anyone has said this to me.

Ever since my parents left in my previous life, I seemed to have locked myself up in games, rarely going out, and even barely making any friends.

Although this situation has improved a lot after rebirth.

However, it seems that in my heart, games still occupy a huge proportion.

Jiyuan is indeed very important to me, helping me get out of the haze of my past life.

But in the final analysis, it is not the whole of your life.

I thought of what Sister Qiu Li had just said, and the experience of the animal trainer Brandi, and then the phone call with my parents, and it seemed as if I had figured something out.

"Well, what's going on?"

Qiu Li looked a little surprised when he saw the little guy in his arms suddenly turn around and hug him.

"Thank you sister."

"no need thank me?"

"Hmm...I don't know either."

I stuck out my tongue, looked up and smiled brightly.

The shackles named An Tong have been completely thrown away.

My current name is An Tong, whether now or in the future.
