In the last class, Song Zhixing was absent-minded.
When she walked to the school gate with her schoolbag on her back, she saw Li Hanyan's car parked at the gate. Even though she was sitting in the car at the moment, she attracted the admiring gazes of many boys.
Song Zhixing opened the car door and got in.
"Aunt, have you noticed that your classmates are all looking at you?" Song Zhixing tried hard to put aside the melancholy that had been in his heart for the entire class, and joked with a smile.
Li Hanyan smiled and tapped her nose, "Don't make fun of me, you are all still a bunch of children."
"Even children like you, which shows that they have good taste." Song Zhixing took off his schoolbag and held it on his lap.
She was sweet-talking, and Li Hanyan was not a vain person, but such words still sounded happy.
Her smile deepened. "Fasten your seatbelts. The fireworks won't start until 9pm. Let's go have dinner first. Let's go to the Michelin restaurant you want to go to the most. I have already reserved a table in advance. I couldn't make it on your 18th birthday, so these are to make up for it. Okay?"
"I have to!" Song Zhixing said coquettishly, leaning her little head on her shoulder, "Aunt, you still care about me the most."
"Then when you grow up, please think of me more. How about that?" Li Hanyan patted her face with his free hand as if coaxing a child.
"I must keep you in mind." Song Zhixing agreed immediately.
Li Hanyan raised her lips and made an unintentional joke, "Then I will leave the matter between your second uncle and me to you. If your second uncle suddenly gets a girlfriend, you can help me. You can't let them really be together~"
Li Hanyan was just joking, but the listener took it seriously. Song Zhixing's heart tightened, and the hand holding the schoolbag also tightened a lot.
For a long time, he remained tense and silent.
If my aunt knew that I and my second uncle had kissed so passionately, what would her reaction be now? She didn't even dare to think about it.
Li Hanyan noticed something was wrong with her and glanced at her several times, "Xingxing, why aren't you talking?"
Song Zhixing just moved his lips but didn't say anything.
Li Hanyan suddenly thought of a possibility, her expression changed slightly, and her hands holding the steering wheel tightened a little, "Xingxing, tell me the truth, does your second uncle... really have a girlfriend?"
"No, aunt, really not!" Song Zhixing shook his head violently.
"Don't be afraid of hurting my aunt, I..."
"Really not." Song Zhixing thought for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, auntie, if Second Uncle really has a girlfriend, I..."
At this point, she drooped her eyelids and lowered her voice: "I won't accept them being together either."
Li Hanyan smiled and touched her head. "Your second uncle loves you so much. If you can't accept it, he will probably reconsider it for your sake. Xingxing, I really envy you."
Song Zhixing felt extremely guilty, especially because of her aunt's gentleness and thoughtfulness. She didn't dare to dwell on Tang Yu's topic, so she just changed the subject and said, "Aunt, I've been looking forward to the fireworks tonight for a long time. Have we reserved the best seats?"
Li Hanyan didn't notice anything wrong and just went along with what she said.

After dinner, at around nine o'clock, when the two of them arrived at Fireworks Island, the island was already full of people. The viewing area was so crowded that it was almost suffocating.
"Xingxing, can you tolerate this situation?" Li Hanyan was worried about her condition and was a little nervous.
"It's okay, aunt! Don't worry!" Song Zhixing was very excited. She rarely came to such crowded places, and it was also because her second uncle didn't allow it - if he knew she was here to watch the fireworks, he would definitely be furious.
Song Zhixing stuck out his tongue. In any case, he must not be allowed to know!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a bang, and fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky. The fireworks lit up the faces of everyone in the viewing area like a rainbow.
Everyone around was excited. Couples, almost all of them lovers, were hugging, screaming, or kissing.
Song Zhixing watched excitedly, extremely happy. It was all her second uncle's fault! He had caused her to miss so many beautiful fireworks for so many years!
She felt extremely resentful.
Glancing sideways, I saw my aunt beside me. She had a gentle look on her face and seemed to be immersed in the gorgeous fireworks, seemingly daydreaming about something.
"Aunt, what are you thinking about? You're staring at it so intently." Song Zhixing mischievously stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
Li Hanyan came back to her senses and grabbed her hand. "I was thinking about the time when I was in school."
"You're not just missing school, are you?" Song Zhixing smirked, "Aunt, you look like you're thinking about your first love!"
"What's the point of first love?" Li Hanyan was obviously embarrassed because her secrets were touched. "I used to go to the same school as your second uncle. We met at the school's fireworks party."
Second uncle...
Song Zhixing suddenly didn't know what to say.
Li Hanyan raised her head and cast her gaze back into the sky. "I've always wondered if I could watch fireworks with your uncle again someday."
Song Zhixing bit her lower lip and felt more and more guilty.
Looking at the fireworks above her head, the excitement in her heart suddenly faded. Her chest felt like it was being pressed by a heavy rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She fumbled in her pocket and touched the medicine bottle, but someone bumped into her and the bottle fell to the ground. She was then kicked twice, and in the noisy and dark crowd, the bottle was stepped on and broken into pieces.
Oops!
"Aunt, you watch first. I'll go to the lounge over there and get a glass of water." Song Zhixing didn't want to make Li Hanyan worry, so she didn't dare to show any abnormality. Now she could only take pills!
The continuous "bang, bang, bang" sound of fireworks was almost deafening. Li Hanyan didn't hear what Song Zhixing said. When she came to her senses, she saw that she had already disappeared into the crowd.
Song Zhixing squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. For a long time, all she could think of was the gentle look on her aunt's face when she mentioned her second uncle. She felt more and more uncomfortable in her chest.
Squeezing out of the crowd, she covered her chest and walked towards the island's high-end VIP lounge.
Behind her was the lively fireworks area, bright as day. In front of her was the VIP area with brilliant lights. But where she was at the moment, it was dark, as if she was isolated from the world, with only occasional noise from the fireworks area.
When she reached the door of the VIP lounge, her breathing became heavier and heavier, but her steps became more and more difficult.
She leaned against the door, took two deep breaths, and was about to ask the service staff for help when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and pushed the door of the lounge open. The next moment, she felt a tightness around her waist, and someone hugged her from behind and pushed her into the lounge.
