Chapter 343 The Promise with You
later.
Behind the Huatianli residential area, many residents gathered on this barren land to enjoy the fun brought by firecrackers and fireworks.
Su Tianqing was no exception.
After protecting her tail, ears, and hair, Su Tianqing dared to enter the fireworks display area and meet Aurora, who was already waiting there.
"Wow, it's on fire!" Aurora squatted by the roadside, carefully holding a burning spark.
"How is it? Isn't it nice?"
"It's so beautiful."
Aurora showed considerable curiosity and delight at the small, inexpensive firework in her hand.
"It's cheap and fun, this is a very popular product," Su Tianqing said.
"I used to play this a lot when I was a kid."
Nan Jiayu chimed in, also holding a sparkler in her hand.
"Just like the magical sparks of magical girls..."
Looking at the electric spark in her hand that had burned out, Aurora murmured softly.
"Now that you mention it, it does look somewhat similar."
Su Tianqing's own electric spark had just gone out, and she said accordingly,
"Well then, let's go do something more fun!"
After saying that, the golden fox turned around and looked at the two people who were doing something not far away.
The pink rabbit ears and gray wolf tail belonged to Xia Taotao and Fei Yelan, who had been invited over.
The heavy-duty fireworks that the two of them brought over on their electric scooter instantly became the focus of the entire venue.
It was an enormous firework, about a meter square, with several words written on its outer colored paper:
"【Magic Missile MK·XII】!"
After piling up some stones around the fireworks to secure them, Xia Taotao straightened up and said to the three approaching cat-foxes, Aurora and her companions, "..."
"A full five hundred shots, with over ten different patterns—super cool!"
"Peach, where did you buy this? It's so cool!"
Su Tianqing said in surprise.
Fireworks are banned in many parts of Chengdu city, with only small firecrackers and small sparklers allowed. Large fireworks like these are rarely seen.
The one who spoke was the gray wolf, Fei Yelan, who was drawing the fuse:
"When we arrived, there was a small truck selling goods on the road. We bought some trinkets, and then the Hero Association's inspection vehicle drove up."
"Huh...?"
"The boss drove his car around the city at breakneck speed, and after shaking off the Hero Association, he sold us this big item at a discount."
"...Why did buying fireworks turn this into GTA for the two of you?" Nan Jiayu muttered under her breath.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was buying North American tea and South American agricultural products. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
"Never mind! Let's see if this thing is powerful enough!"
The pink-haired bunny girl said excitedly, a stark contrast to her earlier socially awkward demeanor.
When she walked in with this large item, she attracted everyone's attention and almost turned into a socially awkward cyberbully. Fortunately, Fei Yelan took the spotlight from everyone, so she didn't have a breakdown on the spot.
Everyone was curious about what kind of fireworks this firework would produce, and even Nan Xiaofeng and his two friends, who were playing with firecrackers not far away, came over.
"Sister Tianqing! Sister Jiayu!" Nan Xiaofeng waved and greeted them.
"Wow, this firework is huge! Did you buy it? It's amazing!" Lin Muyao walked over and exclaimed in surprise.
"That's really impressive..."
Hua Ling also looked very surprised, but you could also see a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"It's about to be lit! Everyone, keep your distance!"
Fei Yelan, having completely drawn out the fuse, gestured for the onlookers to move away.
The fuse burned.
Aurora covered her ears, while Nan Xiaofeng and Nan Jiayu stood at the front with anticipation, and Su Tianqing peeked out from behind the catgirl.
"Swish—"
"Boom!"
The gunpowder exploded, launching a bright firework missile high into the sky, where it burst into a sky full of light and fire.
"Wow!" "This is so beautiful!" "Quick, take a picture, this is amazing!"
The crowd cheered, and residents in the surrounding houses also crowded to their windows to look at the fireworks exploding in sequence in the sky.
There are no stars tonight, but the man-made starry sky is more dazzling and radiant than any real star.
Su Tianqing pulled the catgirl beside her and ran far away, looking up at the night sky illuminated by fireworks from the best angle.
"I didn't expect it to be this good," Nan Jiayu exclaimed.
"Yes, Tao Tao and Ye Lan brought some really interesting fireworks," Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
Fireworks exploded in the air, creating dazzling lights and sparks that formed a kaleidoscope of ever-changing light and shadow, leaving viewers mesmerized and immersed in what felt like a spectacular magic show.
Some novice magical girls' performances might not even be as good as this firework display.
"Little Fish," Su Tianqing suddenly said softly.
"Um?"
"This is my first time setting off fireworks at the launch site, and it's also the first time I've come with other people."
"Is that so... Ah, then that means..."
The catgirl turned to look at the golden fox beside her, only to meet his gaze in her emerald eyes.
Nan Jiayu was slightly taken aback. Su Tianqing grinned, took a step to the side, and stuck to the cat girl's side, her fox tail fluttering around her.
"That's right, Little Fish, you're the first person to watch fireworks with me."
Nan Jiayu didn't know how to answer.
I only glimpsed a little about Tian Qing's past from her few words.
"Speaking of which, Little Fish, you've played so many fun things with me."
Su Tianqing didn't care about any of that and said with a smile,
"The first time I made a friend, the first time I brought a friend home, the first time I traveled far from home, the first time I climbed a mountain, the first time I saw the sea."
"And watching movies, watching the sunrise, sitting on the street eating barbecue late at night, and riding bicycles fast on deserted streets at night."
"There are so many more...we experienced so many interesting things together."
"...And there are still many things we've never seen before waiting for us."
At this point, Su Tianqing looked up at the fireworks that exploded again.
It's like gazing at a sky full of stars.
"…Little Fish, can you promise me something?"
"From now on, we will experience many, many interesting things together, go to many places, and see things we've never seen before."
"Okay, I promise."
Without the slightest hesitation, Nan Jiayu said softly.
The golden fox clung even tighter.
"I knew you'd say yes, Little Fish!"
"Let's go to the Hero Association's annual party together tomorrow! Let's invite Aurora and Momo along, maybe we can get some really interesting merchandise."
"and--"
Before he could finish speaking...
Countless firecrackers exploded simultaneously, and a dense display of fireworks lit up the sky above Chengdu.
The second hand has passed the last second of another year, bringing the hour hand into the first mark of the new year.
The light illuminated the excited golden-haired fox girl's face, and also brought a relieved smile to Nan Jiayu's face after a brief moment of confusion.
"...Little Fish, you're the first person to spend the New Year with me."
"From now on, we will spend every New Year together, until..."
Before she could finish speaking, the cat's tail reached out in front of the fox girl, interrupting her.
"You're not allowed to say anything more," Nan Jiayu said with a smile.
"Hmm~ Well, Little Fish, you'd better keep your word~"
The golden fox laughed happily, while the cat and fox stuck together amidst the dazzling fireworks, casting a long shadow behind them.
