Shen Xi nodded gently and said, “Let’s go over there. It should be starting soon. ”

Guan Lei responded with a sound of agreement, and the two of them walked along the lakeside path, following the crowd towards the square where fireworks would be set off later.

“We’re here, over here!” Zhao Yuan saw Shen Xi and Guan Lei coming over and exclaimed loudly, “Xi, Guan Lei, we’re over here! Hurry over, the view is great from here.’

After joining the rest of the group, they waited for less than ten minutes before workers appeared on the open ground, ready to light the fuses.

Shen Xi stuffed the candied hawthorn in her hand into Guan Lei’s mouth and said, “Hurry up and finish it, the fireworks are about to start.”

At this moment, Guan Lei’s cheeks were bulging with a strawberry-flavored candied hawthorn, looking like a squirrel with nuts stored in its mouth. His resentful expression was so adorable that Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

Guan Lei wasn’t annoyed, he just enjoyed watching Shen Xi laugh. Even though there was nothing particularly special about this moment, Guan Lei felt his heart was filled up, as if by something.

The sharp sound of the fireworks piercing through the air filled their ears.

Shen Xi quickly turned her head towards the sky and saw the splendid display of the fireworks blooming in the air. The beautiful warmth scattered and fell in the serene night sky, creating a beautiful scene.

Guan Lei’s gaze remained on the side of Shen Xi’s face. As the fireworks bloomed, the dim halo of light appeared and disappeared on Shen Xi’s fair face.

Under her curly eyelashes were pupils filled with the brilliance of the fireworks.

Her tall, delicate nose and slightly open, pink lips were adorned with a smile that made people want to get close to her.

Guan Lei swallowed and tasted the sweetness filling his entire mouth. It was only then that he realized he hadn’t even eaten the two candied hawthorns in his mouth.

Seeming to sense Guan Lei’s gaze, Shen Xi tilted her head and glanced at Guan Lei, who was staring blankly at her. Then, she asked loudly, “What are you looking at me for? Look at the fireworks!”

The sound of the fireworks was too loud, making Shen Xi’s voice seemed small and barely audible.

Thinking that Guan Lei hadn’t heard her, Shen Xi stood on her tiptoes and leaned closer to Guan Lei to repeat herself.

Guan Lei was a bit dazed, hearing only the deafening sound of the fireworks and seeing Shen Xi’s pink lips approaching him. He lowered his head and met her lips, as if by some supernatural force.

Feeling the other person’s dazed yet unresisting emotions, Guan Lei wrapped his right arm around the slender willow waist in front of him, gently pulling her towards him. The two of them instantly pressed against each other, and a warm current entwined at the point of contact.

Shen Xi’s mind went blank for a moment, but slowly came back to reality. She only felt Guan Lei gently licking her lips, and she didn’t resist his intimacy. Instead, she had a deep desire for more.

In a daze, Shen Xi’s lips were gently pushed open, and a flexible tongue greedily licked her teeth before invading her mouth. The gentle but forceful tongue pried open Shen Xi’s teeth and the sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.

Shen Xi was at a loss and had been passively receiving Guan Lei’s advances, but after tasting the sweetness, she began to use her tongue to actively seek more.

As Shen Xi’s tongue tentatively intertwined with his, Guan Lei felt a sudden rush of joy. He pushed his tongue harder against Shen Xi’s, teasing and coaxing her to explore further. She willingly followed his lead and explored his mouth, even managing to snatch one of the candied hawthorns in the process.

The two of them followed their hearts and did what they wanted to do, freely and boldly amidst the dazzling colors of the fireworks.

At first, Zhao Yuan thought she had struck gold when she happened to film Guan Lei staring at Shen Xi. But when she turned around again, she was shocked to witness such an explosive scene.

Zhao Yuan immediately turned her camera in another direction, causing the nearby students to turn their heads to see the two of them kissing passionately. Instantly, various surprised screams rang out.

Shen Xi was startled and immediately stepped back. She retreated too quickly, causing her teeth to unconsciously clench tightly together.

Guan Lei felt a sudden pain on his lower lip, and the warm and moist feeling in his mouth disappeared. Shen Xi, on the other hand, lowered her head and stood somewhat awkwardly in place. Even though it was dark, Guan Lei could see that her ears were now a bright shade of red, almost as if they were about to bleed.

As Guan Lei turned his head, he saw a group of classmates with joking and teasing expressions on their faces, causing his own expression to become uneasy..
