Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

The boat docked, and the merchant was a little confused as to why we came back so soon. Tang Xin didn't waste any time and directly pulled me to the barbecue stall nearby.

"What to eat?"

"Order some barbecue."

"I'm going to be one year older." After ordering some dishes, Tang Xin put her hands on the table and pouted.

"Do you think you're too old?" I laughed out loud. "You're only 15. You'll be 16 after the Chinese New Year."

"Not really. You feel it's too slow, right? But then you're worried about getting old too fast. You feel it's too fast, right? But then you feel like you're growing so slowly, you're not even an adult yet." Tang Xin felt a little conflicted.

"Why do you want to grow up so fast?" I joked, "It's better to be younger."

"Secret!" Tang Xin suddenly gave me a sly smile...

Friends in Zhengzhou, please be careful! It makes me so worried!

Chapter 138 Taking Photos

"It's not as delicious as Tang Xin's." Tang Xin looked at me and said with a smile.

"Come on, come on, stop flattering me." I rolled my eyes at her. "If you keep flattering me, I'll be blown to the sky."

"Hehehe, it's not cold at all today." Tang Xin smiled and changed the subject.

"Well, the weather is nice today." I nodded.

"It's very similar to that day~" Tang Xin suddenly said without any clue.

"That day?"

"Yeah." Tang Xin nodded quickly, looking at me excitedly with wide eyes, "It was the day we celebrated Chinese New Year together in junior high school!"

"Oh! That day~" I remembered, "Is it the day you ran away from home crying?"

"Uh..." Tang Xin seemed to be frustrated, "Why do you remember my bad things? What about running away from home? It was the day when we watched the fireworks together on New Year's Eve~"

"Hahaha, it seems so~"

"Look~the photo!" Tang Xin took out a photo of the two of us from her phone and placed it in front of me.

"Ah, I kept this photo too!" I picked up my phone and saw the selfie we took together with our heads tilted, and sighed.

The photo was taken with Tang Xin's old phone, and because of its age, there are quite a lot of noise in the photo. In the dim light, Tang Xin and I's faces are not very clear, but you can still see that we are smiling happily.

"Look, we were so small back then!" Tang Xin came over and pointed at us in the photo and laughed, "Xiao Meng looks like a primary school student!"

"You were only in the second grade at that time?" I couldn't help laughing.

"It would have been great if the front camera was better back then!" After laughing, Tang Xin said with some regret.

"We're shooting again tonight?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the fireworks on the other side of the river rose up, exploded in the air, and flashed beautiful fireworks.

"Is it twelve o'clock?" Tang Xin asked.

"It's still early, just a little after ten o'clock. I guess he can't wait and wants to set off a few to satisfy his craving?" I guessed.

"Just these few scattered fireworks are not beautiful enough." Tang Xin supported her head and tilted her head to look at the other side of the river. Her cheeks were illuminated by the light of the fireworks, flickering.

"Let's put a few out first!" Tang Xin suddenly sat up, grabbed my hand and said.

"No, you said the sporadic ones don't look good." I shook my head, "Why don't you play with the fairy wands that you liked to play with before?"

"Ah! That!" Tang Xin scratched her head, "Forget it, I feel like I'm past that age now."

"Oh, is that so? There's still more than an hour until midnight. What are we going to do? We've finished the barbecue."

"How about? Let's go to the car and rest for a while. After the fireworks, I want to take you somewhere!" Tang Xin smiled mysteriously and pulled me back.

Tang Xin was in her father's Escalade. The independent large space in the back row could be used as two beds after the seats were laid flat. We lay down on it after getting in the car and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

"Set an alarm and get up at 11:40." Tang Xin felt a little drowsy as soon as she lay down.

"Well, you must be tired." I turned sideways to look at her, but after the door was closed, there was no light in the car, and I couldn't see her face clearly.

"Sometimes, I just eat and drink enough and play enough. Suddenly I feel sleepy when I lie down."

"Just like a piglet."

"Ah! Xiaomeng, you scolded me!"

Maybe she was really tired from playing. After arguing for a while, Tang Xin began to breathe steadily. She actually fell asleep? Then she should have a good rest. I also took a long breath and closed my eyes.

I don't know how long it was before the alarm on my cell phone rang. Tang Xin and I were woken up at the same time.

"I...fell asleep." Tang Xin woke up, still a little dazed.

"Well... I fell asleep too." It was mainly because the sofa in the car was so large and comfortable.

"Let's go! Let's get ready to set off the fireworks!" Tang Xin started, opened the car door and ran outside.

"Put on your scarf. It's still cold at night." I got out of the car, walked to Tang Xin, and helped her adjust her scarf.

"Hmm..." Tang Xin blushed, and it was obvious that she had been looking forward to this fireworks display for a long time.

When we got to the shore, a large safety zone had been cleared by Tang Xin's staff near the fireworks. The familiar driver was waving at us.

"Miss, please don't get too close. Just stand outside the safe zone." He walked up and said to us.

"Okay, Uncle Li. Let's watch it here." Tang Xin nodded, took my hand, and stood aside for the best viewing spot.

Because the display was so exaggerated, the embankment near the fireworks was already crowded with people. People nearby probably heard about the fireworks and came here one after another.

Five minutes later, as CCTV counted down, everyone present started counting down together.

"Five", "Four", "Three", "Two", "One!"

"Happy New Year!" As the surrounding people shouted, the staff lit the fireworks at the same time.

The huge firework primer was lit, and after a loud explosion, the gunpowder was launched a hundred meters into the air. Although Tang Xin and I were more than a hundred meters away from the launch point, we were still shocked by the sound. The fireworks that flew to the dome slowly slowed down until they almost stopped.

"Bang!" The sound was so loud that you could feel the ground shaking around you. Brightly colored sparks of various shapes shot in all directions in the air, lighting up half the sky.

Not only this spot nearby, but also giant fireworks within a few kilometers were rising, accompanied by the ringing of bells, and the sky was very lively. This scene was like the tracer bullets fired by countless anti-aircraft guns, forming a dense array, and the continuous sound made it difficult to talk face to face.

"So beautiful!" Tang Xin couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Hurry, hurry! Let's take a photo!" Soon, she realized something important and took out her cell phone.

"Good~"

We were originally very close to each other, and now we almost touched each other, stretched out our hands and made a heart sign together. The fireworks that occasionally bloomed in the sky were enough to illuminate our faces. With the help of the impressive front-facing camera, a photo of the two girls holding hands and laughing happily was captured.

"This one is so beautiful! It's much prettier than the original one!" Tang Xin looked at the photo on her phone and nodded with satisfaction.

“Take a few more pictures!”

Before I could react, Tang Xin suddenly reached out her hands and hugged my neck from behind, and with a few snapping sounds, Tang Xin burst into laughter, and the photo of me almost falling down in panic was also recorded.

Of course, there are also photos of me pretending to be angry and Tang Xin making faces and running away~

-

No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. My friends, cherish your life and pay attention to safety.

Chapter 139 Night Sky

The sound of firecrackers gradually died down, leaving only a few sparse sounds coming from afar. The people who were lingering by the river watching the fireworks show also gradually dispersed, leaving only the dim lights and the two of us.

"Are you happy?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm happy. I hope I can continue to be happy like this in the future." Tang Xin nodded vigorously.

"Definitely!"

"Oh! That's right! Let's go! I'll take you somewhere!" Tang Xin pulled me and ran to the car.

I got in the car, feeling a little confused, but Tang Xin patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Li, let's go!"

The car started to move forward slowly. I looked at Tang Xin in confusion: "What's the secret?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

The car slowly drove out of the city, and the countless neon lights gradually faded away behind us. Driving into the country road, there was nothing else bright except the street lights. Tang Xin still had that excited expression, but I gradually couldn't hold my head up anymore and began to doze off.

Thirty minutes later, I realized that the car had stopped at some point.

"Ah, are you awake?" Tang Xin was looking at me from the side.

"Sorry, I fell asleep because I was tired." I looked around and found that it was pitch black. I couldn't see anything through the car window. "Where is this?"

"We are at the top of the mountain~" Then, with the dim ambient light in the car, Tang Xin smiled and said to me, "I'll show you something."

"Lie down quickly~" As she said that, she pressed the button on the car seat, and our seats fell down again.

Then the sunroof slowly opened, and through the huge glass on the roof, countless stars in the sky came into view.

At this moment, I was a little stunned. It had been a long time since I looked up at the starry sky. The car window was very large, larger than the edge of my vision. Looking around, all I could see was the deep sky. The boundless visual shock without any reference points instantly gave me the illusion of flying in the sky. I felt my own insignificance in a trance, as if I was at an altitude of 10,000 meters, with a sense of awe without support.

In order to find support around me, I subconsciously reached out and grabbed Tang Xin, interlocking our fingers.

"Was there a moment when you felt very scared?" Tang Xin said softly.

"Well, I don't know whether I'm rising or falling, and I've lost my sense of space." I nodded.

"But it's really beautiful." Tang Xin added, "Although the Milky Way is not as bright as in summer, it is still very clear!"

"Yeah." I responded, not knowing what words to use to describe the scene in front of me. Because it was really, really beautiful. As far as I can remember, the last time I looked up was when I was in elementary school in the countryside in the summer. It seemed like more than 20 years had passed.

It’s still the same starry sky, but the people looking up at it have changed.

"I heard that... when people die, they will turn into stars in the night, lighting the way for people. Tang Xin, who do you think my parents will be?"

"Xiao Meng..."

"Will they become stars?" I thought of my parents and couldn't help but tighten the other hand in my palm.

"Yes! I definitely will!" Tang Xin nodded vigorously, "Xiao Meng is so well behaved, and Xiao Ling is so obedient. Uncle and aunt must be smiling at you from heaven."

"Yeah, it looks so tiring." I said with a smile, "I hope they can reincarnate soon... We will take good care of ourselves."
