Chapter 6964
Jacob was rarely so devoted to his work,
Bringing smiles and laughter to the children.
Elaine didn’t like the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of chattering children,
So she sat alone on a chair nearby, eating sunflower seeds.
Charlie asked Claire, “Should we go over to see Dad?”
Claire shook her head and smiled,
“Let’s not go. It’s all the kids guessing.”
“If we go, it’ll be embarrassing if we win.”
“And even more embarrassing if we lose.”
“That’s right.”
Charlie smiled and nodded, asking her,
“Then let’s take a walk?”
“Okay!” Claire agreed happily, saying,
“There’s still a long way to go.”
“They said there’s a flower boat coming later.”
“Let’s walk along the river. It’s a rare opportunity like this.”
Charlie casually said, “If you’re willing to come out for a walk,”
“We can come here every night for a walk.”
Claire smiled slightly but didn’t respond.
Charlie could see a hint of melancholy between her brows.
Just as he was about to ask if she was worried,
A bright light suddenly shot up into the sky from the other side of the Qinhuai River.
Then, the bright light exploded in the air,
Revealing a golden spherical firework.
The surroundings erupted in gasps of surprise,
And tens of thousands of people, previously scattered, instantly looked up toward the sky.
The dazzling fireworks illuminated the dark sky,
A vast flash of light, followed by countless smaller bursts of fire.
Claire’s eyes, previously melancholic and sorrowful, suddenly brightened.
She skipped and jumped like a child, pointing at the fireworks and exclaiming,
“Honey, look! What beautiful fireworks!”
At that moment, more fireworks soared into the sky,
It exploded in a dazzling display of colors.
The fireworks were reflected in the shimmering surface of the Qinhuai River,
Blending beautifully with the surrounding fireworks and lights,
Creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Charlie, too, was mesmerized by the sight.
He had just been lamenting not being able to see the fireworks,
But now he hadn’t expected to see so many fireworks soar into the sky.
He suddenly remembered his childhood,
Setting off fireworks with his parents at the Beihai and Houhai beaches in the capital.
He’s lived a life of hardship and suffering for most of his life,
Enduring countless hardships and humiliations.
Yet, he’s never suffered from psychological trauma, personality distortion, or hatred of society, maintaining a righteous and kind heart.
Besides the guidance and upbringing his parents provided him,
He also owes his childhood to a happy healing experience.
It’s often said that an unhappy childhood can be healed in a lifetime,
While a happy childhood can heal a lifetime.
Charlie embodies the latter.
Even in desperate situations, recollecting the memories of his childhood allows him to find a glimmer of light amidst the darkness,
Allowing him to face hardships with a smile.
The fireworks, now blaring in ever-increasing proportions,
Drew everyone to their seats, their faces filled with joy and happiness.
Amidst the crackling explosions, the wailing of sirens echoed,
Multiple police cars on duty rushed to the location of the fireworks display.
Everyone couldn’t help but worry about the unknown fireworks maker.
Several of the pyrotechnicians were quickly apprehended by the police.
However, they were all large fireworks, which, once ignited, would continue to erupt for several minutes.
As they were carted off to the police van,
The fireworks were still struggling to burst from their packaging and soar into the sky.
The police pulled out fire extinguishers and attempted to put out the fireworks,
But seeing the pyrotechnicians already apprehended and the anxious,
Reluctant expressions of the surrounding children, they ultimately gave up the idea.
After several minutes, the fireworks gradually burned down,
And with the last spark extinguished, darkness once again enveloped the sky.
However, the crowds remained undeterred,
For they had just witnessed the most beautiful display of fireworks in the night,
A feeling that filled everyone with a special satisfaction.
After the fireworks ended, Charlie continued to gaze at the sky bursting with fireworks, sighing,
“If I had known a few boxes of fireworks could satisfy so many people,”
“I would have gotten some, too.”
Claire subconsciously reminded him, “Don’t do anything illegal.”
Charlie replied, “Even though I made a mistake,”
“It ultimately satisfied many people.”
“Then don’t do it.”
