Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

But before they could escape, another voice came.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

Bronya hugged Nangong Yu from behind, and after speaking, she fed him the desserts and fruits she had just bought, mouth to mouth. Her unabashed manner left the three of them speechless.

Kitahara's Dao Heart shattered instantly, and he turned around and walked away without hesitation. Sugisaki Ken and Kiri followed him quickly.

"Well, actually, I also like fried noodles..."

"roll!!!"

As the roar subsided, the three figures disappeared into the crowd not far away.

"what happens?"

Bronya licked her lips and tilted her head in confusion. How come everyone had left by the time she arrived?

"It's nothing, just three single guys who can't take the blow."

Nangong Yu felt incredibly comfortable after suddenly showing off in front of his brother, and a smile immediately spread across his face.

"My lord, have I done something wrong?"

Kaguya was so excited to share this with her husband that she didn't even notice the three people next to her.

"No, no, no, Kaguya, you did very well."

Humming a cheerful little tune, Nangong Yu waved ahead: "Let's go, keep playing!"

Time passed slowly, and the fireworks display was about to begin.

Mei picked up her phone to confirm her reserved viewing location, then looked at Kiana and Sirin, who were still trying to run around, and said, "Kiana, Sirin, it's time to go. Let's go check our next location."

"Huh? But I still want to eat something..."

Seeing Kiana's greasy mouth, Mei's face immediately scrunched up.

Eat, eat, eat! We've been eating all the way here, why are we still thinking about eating?

“It’s not just me, it’s Celine too, isn’t it, Celine?”

She nudged her sister who was eating candied apples next to her, and Celine quickly nodded in agreement.

"Oh, it's alright, Mei, you go ahead. Just send me your location right away, and I'll bring Sirin over."

"The fireworks are about to start." Mei was a little conflicted.

"Don't worry, we'll eat at three more... no, at most two more restaurants, and we'll be done!"

"Mmm!" Celine couldn't speak, but she nodded quickly.

"Okay, Celine's phone is having some problems, so you guys can't get separated."

Since the afternoon, Xilin's phone has had no signal for some reason.

Still feeling uneasy, Mei gave a few more instructions before finally heading in the direction she had planned, turning back every few steps.

This was a deserted shore. Mei looked at the flat ground with tables and chairs and the unobstructed view, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she picked up her phone.

Not long after the message was sent, she saw Nangong Yu and his group of four walking towards her. Just as she was about to greet them, she noticed with some confusion that Nangong Yu's clothes looked a bit dirty.

"What's going on here?"

He looked as if he had rolled around on the ground.

"Pfft~"

As soon as the question was asked, apart from Nangong Yu's face turning black, Xier and the other two couldn't help but laugh.

Bronya brushed the dust off Nangong Yu's clothes and said with a smile, "Some people overdid it, so they got dragged into the bushes and beaten up."

"Tsk, they're just jealous."

"Okay, okay, turn around."

That perfunctory response only made Nangong Yu more annoyed, and she secretly vowed to teach those bastards a lesson when school started.

Once she had been cleaned up, Kiana slowly walked back.

"Oh, Fat's here..."

Her mouth was stuffed full as she showed the group a large bag of her spoils.

She wanted to share it, but met Mei's serious gaze: "Where's Sirin?"

"Ugh?"

Kiana quickly turned her head and stared blankly at the empty space behind her, the bag in her hand falling to the ground with a thud.

......

"Kiana, this looks delicious too, shall we go buy some... Huh?"

Celine's attention was focused on the stall, and she didn't notice the crowd that was getting even more crowded because the fireworks were about to start. When she realized what was happening and reached out to her side, she found that she had touched nothing.

"Kiana?"

She looked around frantically, but couldn't find her sisters anywhere.

"Kiana?!"

Her voice was a little louder, but it was instantly drowned out by the noise of the bustling crowd.

She immediately panicked.

"The fireworks are about to start, let's hurry!"

It was unclear which child's loud complaint caused the flow of people to accelerate even more. Xilin was even knocked off balance and nearly fell, ending up on the very edge of the crowd.

She looked at the commotion before her, her eyes filled with confusion.

Am I... left behind?

Gradually, the crowd dispersed and gathered on the riverbank, leaving only Xilin on the entire street.

"Hey, little girl, why aren't you going to watch the fireworks?"

The old man selling snacks tidied up his things while curiously watching Xilin, who stood there at a loss.

"I...it's nothing."

Xilin bit her lip and lifted her leg to go to the riverbank. She remembered that Mei had said that the place she had reserved was very close to the river.

But the leg that had just stepped out was pulled back.

What if, just what if they come back to find me? Besides, the fireworks are about to start.

While still struggling with this dilemma, Xilin soon heard a buzzing sound.

The fireworks, trailing trails of flame, made a rapid sound and soon burst into a dazzling display of light in the sky.

The colorful light kept flashing, making Xilin unconsciously turn her gaze to the sky.

"Does it look good?"

"Ah."

A question came from beside her, and Xilin nodded subconsciously.

Immediately, she realized what was happening and quickly stepped aside.

"What's there to be excited about? It's me."

Nangong Yu pulled Xilin back from falling and said, somewhat speechlessly.

"You, you, you, when did you get here?"

Slightly stuttering from her panic, Celine tried to calm her rapidly beating heart.

That's because they were scared.

"Look, when the fireworks just started."

Holding up her phone to Xilin, Nangong Yu continued, "I've already messaged everyone to say I've found you, don't worry, everyone knows."

"Oh, I see... Thank you."

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Nangong Yu, Xilin said somewhat shyly.

"You really should thank me. I gave up the romantic scene of kissing my lover under the fireworks just to find you."

"Tsk, you really are... Aren't there three of them, Seele and the others? Who are you choosing?"

"Why choose? Why not just kiss them all?"

"As expected of you, you're truly a scumbag in a clear sense."

"I am over-flattered."

"Aren't you going back?"

"It's too late, let's just watch it here."

She looked up at the fireworks in the sky and fell silent for a while before whispering, "Hey."

"Ok?"

"Feel sorry."

"Ah."

"Is all you can do 'hmm'?"

"Oh."

"Tsk."

Looking down at Sirina's somewhat displeased yet apologetic expression, Nangong Yu chuckled softly, then walked to the balloon-shooting shop next door under her questioning gaze.

"Hey, sir, may I use that guitar?"

The shopkeeper was initially reluctant to lend the money, but upon seeing Nangong Yu and Xilin peeking out from behind him, he immediately revealed a mischievous expression.

He took the prize guitar off his shoulder, held it out, and winked at him: "You're lucky, kid. I just tuned it. Only for one song, okay?"

"Thank you, one song is enough."

He took the guitar, held it in his arms, and gently strummed it a couple of times. After experiencing the tone, he nodded in satisfaction.
