4201 The Other Side 170

"Hee hee. I was thinking my little sister would look so pretty, no matter whom she ends up taking after."

Chu He looked at Yueyao's back view and muttered, "She looks more like her daddy, doesn't she? What do you think?"

"Uh huh."

"Your little sister might be prettier if she ends up looking more like her daddy."

Gu Linxi disagreed. "Who says so? She'd look very pretty too, if she took after Mommy!"

"What a sweet talker you are!" Chu He couldn't resist scratching the bridge of his nose.

Halfway through the barbecue, Mu Yazhe suddenly brought in several boxes of fireworks. The moment they saw the fireworks, the twins were so excited that they stopped bothering with the barbecue. They scampered to the beach and circled their father.

Mu Yazhe quickly warned them, "Don't stand here. It's dangerous!"

"Hmph. What's so dangerous about it?" Little Yichen was not impressed. He had even played with fragmentation grenades in the past. Fireworks did not scare him at all.

"Oh, keep an eye on your little brother then. Don't let him get too close in case he gets hurt."

"Alright." Little Yichen immediately took Baby Chu's hand obediently and walked off to the side.

Baby Chu tried to get closer, but the boy took his hand again and warned him, "Don't get too close."

Baby Chu looked incredulous. "Why?"

"If the fireworks misfire, they'll splash all over you. Then it'll be dangerous."

Baby Chu immediately understood the boy's explanation, but he could not contain his excitement. He looked expectantly at the fireworks and said jubilantly, "Fireworks, fireworks!"

It was their first time setting off fireworks by the sea, and the children were inexplicably excited.

Mu Yazhe studied the surroundings. It was hard to use a lighter on the windy beach, so he did it the old-fashioned way. Lighting a cigarette, he made sure there were no children standing around, he used the spark to light the fuse and stepped back quickly.

After ten seconds of lead time, there was a whoosh as the fireworks shot into the air like meteors and rapidly disappeared into the night. Then they heard a few more whooshing sounds as more fireworks continued to rise into the sky, but there were no fireworks that spread out like they expected.

Baby Chu looked surprised. "Huh? Where are the fireworks?"

Natalia and Yueyao also looked around puzzled.

Normally, when fireworks get launched into the air, they would explode in brilliant colors. But now, nothing of that sort was seen.

As the group looked at each other, they heard a few pops. Dozens of fireworks, like fiery trees, suddenly bloomed in the night sky. The falling fireworks spread slowly against the night sky like tassels.

These fireworks were bought from a local Chinese vendor. It was absolutely top quality, so the dazzling effect did exceed Mu Yazhe's expectations. He had never set off fireworks at the beach, so the idea suddenly struck him.

At that moment, the waves, the evening winds, the dark night, the brilliant fireworks… They were a perfect combination that couldn't be more beautiful.

Yun Shishi stared at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky in stunned silence, momentarily forgetting where she was.

Things that are breathtakingly beautiful always make one forget their worries.

She looked at the fireworks in silence. Almost half of the night sky was illuminated by the bright brilliant display!

"So pretty, So pretty!" Baby Chu clapped his hands excitedly! Despite his wide knowledge base, this was the first time he'd set off fireworks on the beach, and they were such beautiful fireworks. He couldn't get enough of them.
