Yan Qianqian

Yan Qianqian gazed at those colorful, dazzling fireworks with joy filling her heart, and a strong desire arose within her—she wanted to light these beautiful fireworks herself, to experience the feeling of personally creating brilliant moments.

However, Yan Shuang'er beside her wore a look of worry; she knew full well that setting off fireworks carried certain danger, especially for an inexperienced little girl like Qianqian.

Thus Yan Shuang'er advised her again and again with kind words: "Qianqian, setting off fireworks isn't a simple matter; what if something goes wrong? Why don't we just watch others set them off here, okay?"

But Qianqian at this moment had already been dazed by excitement, how could she listen to Yan Shuang'er's advice? She stamped her little foot, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her little mouth, shouting incessantly: "No! I want to set them off myself! People finally got this chance!"

Seeing this scene, Yan Shuang'er shook her head helplessly, and just as she was preparing to continue persuading, Yan Si, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Oh, Third Sister, just let her set off one. It's fine, look, the fuse is quite long; after she sets it off, just hurry back. Besides, I'll stand by and watch, I definitely won't let anything happen to her."

Hearing these words from Yan Si, Yan Shuang'er hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Alright, Qianqian, you must be careful, absolutely pay attention to safety!" Saying this, she turned to Mantou beside her and instructed: "Mantou, quickly go get a stick of incense, remember to find a longer one."

Not long after, Mantou came running back, panting, holding a stick of incense that had already been lit. Yan Si took the incense, carefully handed it to Qianqian, and solemnly instructed: "Qianqian, use this stick of incense to light the fireworks in a moment. Remember, when I say run, you must immediately run back without hesitation, understood?"

Qianqian nodded vigorously and replied with determined eyes: "Don't worry, I definitely run faster than a rabbit!"

After receiving Qianqian's guarantee, Yan Si selected a particularly large firework from among the many fireworks. According to the seller's introduction, this firework contained a full hundred rounds of ammunition inside; once lit, it would surely burst forth with an incomparably spectacular scene.

The moment Qianqian saw such a huge and gorgeous firework, she was instantly beside herself with excitement, letting out "wow wow wow" exclamations from her mouth, her two little hands waving joyfully in the air, shouting: "Qianqian is going to set off fireworks!"

Not long after, the people responsible for placing the fireworks had neatly placed all the fireworks. At this time, everyone present moved to a safe area one after another; even An Wang and An Wangfei came out from inside unhurriedly.

Yan Si smiled and said to Qianqian: "Qianqian, let's go, let's go set off fireworks!" Hearing this, Qianqian nodded happily and replied: "Okay, okay!" Thus, the two walked together toward where the fireworks were.

Upon approaching, Qianqian took a lit stick of incense, while Yan Si pointed to the fuse of one of the fireworks and softly instructed: "Qianqian, look over here, there's this thin thread." Qianqian looked in the direction of his finger and replied: "Mm-hmm, I see it!"

Immediately afterward, Yan Si continued to explain patiently: "In a moment, you just gently touch this spot with the incense in your hand, and then when I shout 'run,' we both have to hurry back together, remember?" Qianqian blinked her big, watery eyes and answered obediently: "I understand!"

Afterward, Yan Si stood quietly beside Qianqian, his gaze always tightly fixed on the incense in her hand and the fuse about to be lit. Qianqian took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and carefully extended the incense she held toward the fuse.

The instant the incense touched the fuse, there were a few soft "hiss hiss" sounds, and small sparks quickly appeared on the fuse. Before the words could finish, at this critical moment, Yan Si shouted loudly: "Run!"

Before his voice even faded, Qianqian didn't think at all, immediately turned around and ran wildly. Though Qianqian was young and her legs weren't long, her running speed was not slow at all; her two calves alternated quickly like wind-fire wheels. At the same time, Yan Si followed closely behind, running back with large strides.

Finally, after the two successfully ran to the safe area and stood firm, they breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened. At this moment, their faces were filled with expressions of both excitement and tension, eagerly anticipating the beautiful moment when the brilliant fireworks would burst.

Just then, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds came from behind, one after another. Everyone turned to look back, only to see one gorgeous, colorful firework after another rising into the sky like meteors, rushing straight toward the unreachable horizon.

When they rose to high altitude, they seemed as if enchanted, suddenly exploding open. First appearing before their eyes was a bright red firework, like a blooming red lotus, fully displaying its beauty and passion in the air;

immediately followed by a loud "bang," a green firework suddenly rose into the sky, like willow branches that had just sprouted tender buds in spring, fresh and full of vitality.

Afterward, the sounds of "bang bang bang" never ceased; red, green, yellow, blue, pink, purple... fireworks of various colors complemented each other, weaving a dreamlike, gorgeous scroll.

Gazing at this magnificent scene, Qianqian couldn't help but cheer excitedly: "Wow, so pretty! These are all the fireworks I set off!" Yan Si standing beside her smiled and replied: "Yes, they were set off by you, Qianqian is really amazing!"

At this moment, Yan Shuang'er hurriedly instructed Xiao Jin beside her to get the drawing board, paintbrushes, and drawing paper. Not long after, Xiao Jin brought out the needed items one by one, panting.

Yan Shuang'er impatiently asked: "Second Brother, are there more fireworks?" Yan Si smiled and answered: "Of course there are, there are still many!" Hearing this, Yan Shuang'er happily said: "That's wonderful! You all set off more, I want to paint all this beautiful scenery!"

Yan Si readily agreed: "That's great, let's make this night sky even more dazzling!"

After all the painting tools were ready, Qianqian had also rolled up her sleeves, eager to try. At this time, Yan Jie, who had been silently watching from the side, lowered his voice and said to his elder sister: "Elder Sister, I also really want to set off fireworks!"

Just then, Qianqian, who had not yet spoken, was preempted by Yan Si: "Oh, you're still too young, you can't do this! It's too dangerous. Wait until you're as old as Qianqian, then I'll let you set them off."

He looked at Yan Jie with a serious face, shaking his head slightly. After hearing this, Yan Jie felt a bit disappointed in his heart, but also understood that now was not the time to be willful; he could only pout his little mouth and reluctantly nod in agreement: "Okay..."
