Not long after, Jimmy had started setting off fireworks with his servants.
Colorful fireworks shot into the night sky, lighting up the whole starless sky.
Lilia leaned against Jean and stared at the fireworks that went off with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Would you like to try?"
At this moment, amidst the sound of fireworks, the gentle and magnetic voice of the man entered her ears.
Lilia's brows brightened and she slightly wanted to try, but her mouth still stopped. "I don't know how to light it up."
"I'll teach you!" Jean's thin lips slightly tilted, holding his wife's hand and walking towards the front.
Lilia followed him at the same speed, and looked at herself a little nervously. "Will it light up instantly? If I don't run in time, you have to carry me."
For the first time in her life, she set off fireworks. Her heartbeat was a bit fast, mainly because she was worried that her reaction would be too slow.
She had seen many people setting off fireworks, usually crouching on the ground to light the fuse, then turning and running.
As she approached the location of the fireworks, Lilia began to rehearse the process of setting off fireworks in her mind over and over again.
This way, she won't look too inexperienced even if it's the first time.
Jimmy and the rest of the servants saw the two approaching figures, and guessed their intentions after a bit of speculation.
So he hastily dispatched a servant, and took out some small fireworks from the cardboard box on the side and placed them on the ground.
Then, they crouched down and started playing around.
After a while, Lilia walked around the cluster of fireworks, and her eyes began to twitch.
"Which one do you want to light?"
The man accompanies her by the side, watching her reluctant cheeks with his eyes filled with traces of pampering.
Lilia casually pointed. "That one, I'll try that one first."
She didn't dare to try large fireworks, so she chose relatively small ones.
By this time, Jimmy was already coming forward, holding two small fireworks in his hands, and... the wick was very long!
Jimmy stood in front of Lilia smiling, held up the fireworks and said, "Miss, Young Master, you can try this one."
Lilia lowered her head and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
She stretched out her hand and looked at the fused wick, pretty surprised to find that it was approximately 20 centimeters.
"Don't worry Miss, I have extended this wick so that it is safe to use!"
Lilia couldn't help but cover the corners of her mouth and sneer. It seems that this one firework is safe. This was probably also the longest wick she had ever seen.
Jean took the fireworks from Jimmy's hand, then picked up Lilia and walked into the open space next to her.
He placed one of the cone-shaped fireworks on the ground, took out a lighter from his pocket, and opened his hand to Lilia as he crouched down. "Come here."
Lilia stepped forward, her brows bright, and she smiled. "I want to do it myself."
"Together." The man's eyes seriously looked into her clear eyes, then he put the lighter in Lilia's palm.
She held the lighter and pressed it twice, and then the man's palm covered hers, wrapping her palm that was holding the match in her slender fingers.
Lilia and Jean looked at each other, the flames burning the wick rapidly.
With a 'psstt' sound, streaks of fire lit up, so Lilia screamed and pulled the man away.
Don't blame her for making such a fuss because after all, this was her first time setting off fireworks and the sound of the wick really made her nervous.
When the wick was half lit, Lilia squinted at the fireworks and waited for a few seconds from two meters away… but there was no popping sound at all.
Oh, the wick broke halfway!
Lilia scratched her cheek in embarrassment and looked at the man. "It died..."
Jean chuckled, and raised his hand to smooth his wife's slightly messy hair. "Give me the lighter."
"No, I'll try again."
Lilia squeezed the match in her hand and hesitantly took two steps forward. Seeing that there was still no movement from the fireworks, she walked confidently.
She crouched down and looked at the cone-shaped fireworks with a cut off wick and two centimeters remained of its initial length.
Lilia crouched on the ground and scratched her head, her eyes flickering a little, and when she looked back, she saw him standing one meter away from her.
"Step back, or I'll hit you."
"Okay." The man looked at her with a smile, then took a step back.
He wasn't worried that Lilia would hurt herself. The fireworks she was burning had a low flash point, so they weren't dangerous at all.
At this moment, Lilia bit the corner of her lower lip, staring at the man behind her, then lit a match and moved forward.
For the first time, her hands trembled as she bent down, and the fire was extinguished. The second time, he reached out hesitantly, moved an inch forward, then quickly pulled back.
After going back and forth several times, she got tired.
She just clenched her teeth, adjusted the flame of the match to its maximum, and pushed it straight towards the wick. With a squeaking sound, sparks started appearing everywhere.
Lilia turned and ran, and screamed in surprise. "Uahhh !"
As she ran and looked, the man walked forward.
At a distance of three or two steps, Lilia immediately rushed into Jean's arms.
Her brows arched like the moon, and her eyes filled with joy as she lifted her head.
As she was hugged by the man, a cluster of fireworks that looked like a blazing fire exploded behind her.
The scattered fireworks carried a different kind of brilliance, blooming in a dazzling short-term in front of them.
Lilia leaned in the man's arms and turned to look, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"
The man hugged him, and slowly lowered his head, "This is good."
Fireworks are beautiful, and so are you.
"The first fireworks I light for you should be considered a New Year's gift." Lilia said sweetly, and she got a shallow kiss from the man she loved.
From the side, Claire and Andrew stood looking like they were relatively calm.
It's nice to be young, you can love and laugh to your heart's content.
Andrew was actually quite envious when he saw this intimate scene. His mind moved, he then leaned into his wife's ear. "Would you like to try it too?"
"I do not want to." Claire was shocked and embarrassed when she heard this, she knew Andrew also wanted to make out like that.
Before disappointment hit, Andrew suddenly heard a soothing voice. "I don't want to be alone, let's light it together!"
"Wait for me!"
Andrew rushed forward, looking pleased.
He did not see that coming, his wife's embarrassed face softened in an instant.
On New Year's Eve, accompanied by the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, their laughter continued for a long time.
Their happiness would last long, or so they wished.
...
Warm and peaceful days always pass without any warnings.
After the New Year, now March is in sight.
The news of Lilia's decision to make a comeback on a reality show has also started to stir up a debated discussion on the Internet.
On this day, three days before filming, Lilia came to Gaia directly on Harold's request.
