Chapter 167 Ring
Chapter 167 Ring
They were only alone for a short while before they heard Xu Zhongtao yelling and walked out one after the other to check what was going on.
Xu Zhongtao carried a large box of fireworks and asked excitedly, "Brother, are you going to set off fireworks?"
Jiang Miao poked his head out to take a look, then pulled Pei Zhiyu and said, "I want to go and release it, are you coming?"
Pei Zhiyu had no objection, "I'll listen to you."
Although Pei Zhiyu sometimes felt that playing with fireworks was too childish, he didn't mind accompanying Jiang Miao.
He knew very well that, except when she lived in the orphanage, Jiang Miao had always celebrated the New Year alone, and she definitely had no chance to set off fireworks with others.
And Xu Zhongtao is a guy who is always playing around. Even though he is already in his twenties, he is still so out of touch.
He buys fireworks and firecrackers every year and takes them home to set off.
Pei Zhiyu was not polite and directly took some from Xu Zhongtao and went out with Jiang Miao.
Fortunately, this is not the city center and there is no explicit ban on setting off fireworks.
Pei Zhiyu gave Jiang Miao a fairy wand and also gave her a lighter.
Jiang Miao didn't expect Pei Zhiyu to have a lighter with him. His eyes instantly became alert and he kept glancing at him.
Pei Zhiyu said: "Don't look at it, I don't like smoking, that's my dad's."
He took it secretly before going out.
If Pei's father knew about this, he would probably scold him again.
Jiang Miao saw that Pei Zhiyu was not lying to her, and quickly turned her attention back to setting off the fireworks.
It was too boring to just play with fairy wands, so Jiang Miao simply picked up the small fireworks again and prepared to light the fuse herself.
You also need to find an open place before setting off fireworks, otherwise it is easy to cause danger.
Pei Zhiyu asked Jiang Miao to press it down with a few stones.
Jiang Miao did as she was told. After finishing everything, she squatted down and lit the fireworks.
The fuse was lit, Jiang Miao quickly stood up and ran back to Pei Zhiyu to watch with him.
The gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, like colors dotted on the black cloth.
But no matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they are only fleeting.
After Jiang Miao played it a few times, he got tired of it.
In addition, the temperature outside was so low and she didn't want to be frozen into an ice sculpture, so she quickly followed Pei Zhiyu back.
When he returned to Pei's house, it was exactly 11 o'clock in the evening. There was still an hour before New Year's Day, and Jiang Miao planned to stay up all night.
Pei Zhiyu also accompanied her.
But they had just come back from outside and were covered in snow. Wen Wanqiu was afraid that they would catch a cold, so she urged them to take a shower and change their clothes.
She took advantage of this opportunity to go to the kitchen and make some ginger soup for them to warm them up.
However, Wen Wanqiu was not someone who could stay up late. When Pei Zhiyu came down, she gave him a few instructions and went back to her room to rest.
Not long after, Jiang Miao also came down from the stairs.
Pei Zhiyu asked her to drink ginger soup.
Jiang Miao drank it.
The two of them stayed up together in the living room, and when the New Year's bell struck midnight, Pei Zhiyu poked Jiang Miao, who was drowsy in his arms.
Jiang Miao called out in confusion: "Ah, what's wrong?"
Pei Zhiyu smiled softly and gave her the first blessing: "Jiang Miao, Happy New Year!"
When Jiang Miao heard Pei Zhiyu talking about the New Year, he realized that the new year had already arrived.
She hugged Pei Zhiyu's neck, tilted her little face up, and gave him a big kiss on the face, "Happy New Year, boyfriend!"
This is their first New Year together!
Jiang Miao took this very seriously. She got down from Pei Zhiyu's arms, stood up, and immediately pulled him back to the room upstairs.
They lived in the same room, which was Pei Zhiyu's bedroom in the Pei family.
Jiang Miao brought Pei Zhiyu back to the room and motioned him to sit down and wait for a while as he had something to give him.
Pei Zhiyu could also guess roughly what was going on, and waited very cooperatively for the New Year gift that Jiang Miao was going to give him.
Jiang Miao rummaged through his suitcase before taking out the things from the compartment.
Pei Zhiyu watched her stuff the small red velvet box into his hand, and her voice rang in his ears: "Pei Zhiyu, this is a New Year's gift I prepared especially for you!"
Jiang Miao gave him another look, as if urging him to open the box and take a look.
Pei Zhiyu looked down and slowly opened the box.
Seeing what was inside, Pei Zhiyu paused subconsciously, and his voice began to become difficult, "Jiang Miao, you..."
"How is it? Do you like it?" Jiang Miao looked expectant for praise.
Pei Zhiyu laughed softly and stuffed the small box back to Jiang Miao, "Since it's a ring, someone should help me put it on, right?"
Jiang Miao: "...you are so beautiful!"
That being said, Jiang Miao still took action.
Jiang Miao grabbed Pei Zhiyu's finger fiercely, and with his other hand he took the ring and put it on him.
She looked down and became more and more satisfied. "Pei Zhiyu, once you wear my ring, you are mine from now on!"
"Okay, I understand." Pei Zhiyu was happy about it.
He paused, then suddenly asked, "Aren't the rings a pair? Didn't you prepare one for yourself?"
How could Jiang Miao only buy one ring? She took out another box like a magic trick: "Yes, here it is."
Pei Zhiyu was very considerate, "Then I'll put it on you too."
Jiang Miao nodded, handed him the small box, and even stretched out his hand impatiently.
Watching Pei Zhiyu put the ring on her hand, the rings on their hands happened to be a pair, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Miao couldn't help it and wanted to take out his cell phone to take pictures as a souvenir.
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully completed the mission, health value +10 days]
[Current health value: 21 days 01 hours 35 minutes]
Jiang Miao gave this New Year gift, firstly to complete the task, and secondly to declare his sovereignty.
……
New Year's Day.
Pei Zhiyu and Jiang Miao did not sleep in. They got up before eight in the morning.
Wen Wanqiu had just prepared breakfast. After she went upstairs to pull Xu Zhongtao out of bed, the family sat together to have breakfast again.
Xu Zhongtao was yawning continuously. He had been out until three or four o'clock last night and didn't return home until then. He was feeling sleepy now.
He planned to have breakfast and then go upstairs to take a nap.
Xu Zhongtao was sitting opposite Pei Zhiyu. He noticed the difference in his brother with his sharp eyes and asked about it immediately.
"Brother, why are you wearing a ring all of a sudden?!"
Pei Zhiyu replied indifferently: "If you want to wear them, you can buy a pair yourself."
Xu Zhongtao: “…”
He's not dating anyone, so why is he wearing a ring?
In the way!
Xu Zhongtao curled his lips and continued to eat with his head down.
He was afraid that if he continued to ask, his brother would fill him with dog food!
