The Blind Lover Novel - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Fireworks

On New Year’s Eve, Ning Chen and Qin Yu changed into pairs of new clothes and sat on the floor covered with luxurious wool blankets. They snuggled and watched TV together.

“In the past New Year’s, the Shi family would sit around the living room watching TV and making dumplings.” Qin Yu shook her head and smiled as she recalled the New Years’ that she had spent more than a decade ago.

“But… that didn’t include me. Sometimes, I could find a safe corner to stay by myself. When it was bad, I would be locked in a dark and isolated basement. At first, I was especially afraid of that place because there weren’t even any lights there. Later, I wasn’t afraid anymore. I could even secretly do things there that they didn’t know about. However, in all these years in the Shi family, I have never experienced a festive atmosphere.”

To be more precise, it was the atmosphere of home.

Although Qin Yu was a talented young lady and she had earned a lot of money over the years, there were some things that she could never have.

For example, a family.

Ning Chen tightened his arms around Qin Yu.

“From now on, this is your home. I am your family. Xiao Yu is not a child without a home. You will have what others have. I will spend every holiday with you in the future. I have never seen a party before and I have never worn new clothes on such a festival. We haven’t even had a reunion dinner for a long time…” Ning Chen’s voice sounded far away.

When his parents were still around, this family still looked like a home. The family would often sit together to eat and chat, but later… after his parents’ accident.., the entire family had been shrouded in a depressing fog of sorrow.

Qin Yu silently held Ning Chen’s hand, feeling a little moved. Although they had had completely different lives in their previous lives, they were very similar.

Perhaps it was because of this that their souls could feel each other’s pain and sorrow so closely, so they could cherish each other more.

“Chen, it’s almost midnight. Let’s go out and set off the fireworks!” Qin Yu thought of the bag of fireworks that Ah Bi had bought.

“Xiao Yu hasn’t set off the fireworks yet, right? Are you afraid?” Ning Chen patted Qin Yu’s head, stood up and took out the bag of fireworks. They went into the courtyard, and suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance.

“It’s so lively.” Qin Yu looked at the fireworks blooming in the dark sky and couldn’t help but sighed.

“Here, take it. I’ll light it for you.” Ning Chen took out one and handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu grabbed it and felt her hand slightly trembling — she had never personally set off fireworks before, so she was a little nervous.

Ning Chen lit up the lighter, and the top of the fireworks stick quickly shot out colorful streams of light and heat that crackled in the darkness.

Qin Yu was so nervous that she almost threw the firework away. A big hand quietly covered her palm. Ning Chen held her hand and slowly raised the firework to the sky.

The man’s chin gently touched the top of Qin Yu’s head, and Qin Yu was enveloped in Ning Chen’s arms. Her fear and uneasiness instantly disappeared, and her heart was filled with a sense of security. Ning Chen’s low and gentle voice sounded above her head, it was so nice that it sounded a little unreal. “It looks better this way, silly.”

“Hmph, it’s… it’s my first time doing this!” Qin Yu defended herself in a delicate voice.

“It’s fine. I’ll be her next year. By then, Xiao Yu won’t be afraid anymore.”

Ning Chen said meaningfully.

“It’s midnight, Chen!” Qin Yu cried out in surprise as she looked at the dazzling fireworks in the sky not far away.

They hugged each other as they looked at the distant sky.

Suddenly, Qin Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.

After the fireworks in the sky exploded, one word after another was slowly formed.

Horizontal, vertical..

Together, it was — “Yu”.

“Chen, this is…” Qin Yu’s tone was a little shaky.

“It’s for Xiao Yu. I heard that the most beautiful fireworks have to be shown to the person you love the most.” Ning Chen’s smiled faintly. The fireworks reflected on half of his face from the corner of his eyes, outlining his gentle and bewitching facial features. He was so handsome that it made one’s heart skip a beat.

“Do you like it?” Seeing that Qin Yu was so moved and shocked that she could not speak, Ning Chen touched the girl’s chubby cheeks and said with a smile.

“I like it… This is the most beautiful fireworks I’ve ever seen!” Qin Yu suddenly hugged Ning Chen tightly.

They looked at the fireworks in the sky that had been shining for a long time, and their hearts felt as if they had reached the boundary of eternity.

Although the fireworks disappeared, the memory of this moment was forever fixed in their minds, immortal with time.

Just like his love for her, it was as grand and resplendent as fireworks, and as vast and eternal as the sea of stars.
