I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

This is the climax of the celebration, the special event for fireworks and firecrackers.

But compared to the jubilant crowd, the immortal seemed to be in a strange state.

Her body trembled slightly, and her tail was curled up. Her mouth was open but she didn't speak, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

"Bam—!"

The dull sound of firecrackers rang out, and the sky was filled with vibrant colors, even dimming the moonlight.

"Huh? Sister Nian? Watch out!"

Bai Zhou suddenly stood up and tried to grab the fallen immortal.

"Ah Xi... I'm scared..."

Bai Zhou grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Nian clung to him tightly, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, unwilling to let go.

"I'm here, Sister Nian, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Holding Nian in his arms, feeling her panic, Bai Zhou gently pressed his forehead against hers, softly comforting her.

The immortals were formed from fragments of a god who had once submitted to the Great Yan.

The most ancient god was arrogant, rude, and cruel. In that war against the gods, in order to monopolize the power to rule the Great Yan, He betrayed His kind. As a result, His kind attacked Him en masse, severely wounding Him and inflicting the strongest and most humiliating curse upon Him.

He will fear the “explosion,” which is the greatest insult to His betrayal, which He once held the highest position.

This curse is so powerful that even immortals transformed from gods cannot erase the "sense of panic" that should not have appeared.

"Ah Xi... I don't want to hear... I don't want to hear these sounds..."

That damned panic made her instinctively reach out to those around her for help.

"Okay, we won't listen...we won't listen."

The daytime echoed her, and then created a soundproof barrier to dispel the fairy's panic and restore peace.

"Sister, it's all over now. We can't hear those sounds anymore."

"..."

After a long silence, a soft "hmm" finally escaped from the immortal's mouth.

"Would you like to see the fireworks? They're really beautiful."

During the day, he gently coaxed the fairy, using words to distract her from her fear.

"I don't want to watch..."

The immortal buried his face in the young man's arms, looking dejected.

What just happened completely shattered her image of wisdom and power.

She was originally a dignified older sister, but now she's so frightened by the slightest "bang" of a firecracker that she needs her younger brother to comfort her so she won't cry.

"How embarrassing..."

"How could that be?"

Hearing Nian's soft self-deprecating tone, Bai Zhou leaned down and gently pressed his ear against hers.

"Sister Nian was so cute just now."

"Like a jade ribbon that has been soaked in water."

"Not cute at all..."

Nian was very puzzled. What kind of person would look so scared and cowering? They had lost all their dignity and authority. Where was the cuteness in that?

and……

What is "Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian"?

"Hmm...it was a raccoon dog I used to own."

Seeing that Nian's condition had stabilized, Bai Zhou was also relieved, but he did not let go of her; instead, he hugged her even tighter.

"Raccoon slave..."

The year's tail swayed, then suddenly lifted, before falling back onto the tail of daylight.

"Oh! You silly little white rabbit, you actually mistook your sister for a cat!"

The young man, not yet old, used his forehead to support his chest, which was bathed in daylight.

What a scumbag brother! She treated him so well, helping him find a wife and even crafting him custom-made equipment. And this scumbag brother treats her like a pet cat!

This is tolerable, but not tolerable, sister.

Today I'm going to show him what a powerful older sister is like!

"Doesn't Sister Nian look like a cat?"

The daytime asked softly, then hooked its tail and wrapped it up to hold the end of the year.

"It has the same beautiful color as my Jade Sky Flying Silk."

In the daylight, Bai Wei raised his fingertips and curled a strand of Nian's hair, the snow-white strands still standing out vividly in the bright lights.

"The same curiosity and gluttony."

The awakened immortal was filled with enthusiasm for exploring the world and also craved delicious food.

"Even the way they tremble when they're scared is the same...cute."

Their intertwined tails were tightly wrapped together, and in the bright light, Bai Zhou gently kissed the tips of their ears, which had turned pink.

Is going back to Seventeen a scumbag? Or not?

"(〃ノωノ)"

Until the first wave of fireworks faded, the immortal in his arms remained silent. If it weren't for the trembling emanating from his tail, Bai Zhou would have thought that Nian had fallen asleep in his arms.

He remained silent throughout the year, and during the day he did not disturb her. He simply held her in his arms while admiring this silent, magnificent scene.

"noob……"

Nian gently swayed her body, changing from an embrace to a leaning posture.

"The second fireworks are here, Sister Nian."

Gently holding Nian's hand, Bai Zhou invited her to watch the fireworks rising into the sky.

"Although it's very beautiful..."

Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Nian sighed with melancholy.

"At such a fun and interesting time, I have to suffer from this awful thing here."

The feeling of being tightly bound by the tail was even stronger. It seemed that being stuck awkwardly in the soundproof barrier watching the silent film was really making Nian very unhappy.

"Then get to know it, fight it, and then ignore it."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Once is enough of an embarrassing incident; next time, I'll make Xiaobai look at me with new respect.

"Come help me overcome it, Little White."

The year places high hopes on the daytime and entrusts it with important responsibilities.

"I'd be happy to accompany you, Sister Nian."

With that, Bai Zhou removed the barrier with a wicked grin.

"Waaah! Not now! You silly little white rabbit! I'm angry! I'm ignoring you!"

The immortal shrank into the embrace of the daylight like a cat with its fur standing on end. He spoke the toughest words, but his body did the weakest thing.

"Pfft, hahahahaha..."

Successfully startled the year's daytime, who then threw his head back and laughed, before re-establishing the barrier amidst the immortal's trembling.

Years later, he stopped talking during the day and simply buried his head like an ostrich.

After laughing enough during the day, he wasn't in a hurry to talk to Nian. He just gently hugged Nian and quietly waited for something.

"..."

Silly little white rabbit, why aren't you saying anything?

After waiting for a while without getting what it wanted, the young bird curled its tail in dissatisfaction, trying to break free from the black tail's entanglement, but it was hooked back and tangled together again.

"Sister, look! The fireworks have created a pattern."

A gentle call rang in her ears. Although Nian was curious, she hadn't forgotten that she was "angry," so she snorted and turned her head away, ignoring Bai Zhou's call.

"Good sister, are you really not going to watch?"

"I would never talk to a bad brother who deliberately scares his sister."

The muffled sound brought a smile to Bai Zhou's eyes.

"Well, who were you talking to just now, sister?"

"He's my beloved younger brother."

The smile grew even wider, and the frequency of its tail wagging increased significantly.

"How about you help your older sister beat him up to vent her anger, okay?"

"……not good."

A few breaths later, Nian's voice rang out again.

"Whether it's a bad younger brother or a good younger brother, I like them both."

"..."

How could anyone not like a sister like that?

He laughed as he hugged her even tighter during the day.

"Silly little white dog...it's too hot."

"Sister, would you like to get some ice cream?"
