Redeeming Love

Chapter 2 Setting off Fireworks

After dinner, I got into the kitchen and helped my mother wash the dishes.

My cousin bought a lot of fireworks by car, and asked me to go out to play together. I waved my hand: "No, you go."

The washing table in the kitchen faces you, you can hear the laughter of cousins and brothers, and you can also see the light of fireworks.

Wipe the moisture off the last bowl, and I turn around to put it on the shelf.

Almost ran into someone.

Tang Hai caught me with one hand, and held the bowl firmly with the other.

I murmured, "Fortunately it wasn't broken."

My mother reminded me that the tableware in my stepfather’s house is very expensive, and each bowl is different. If one is broken, the whole set is meaningless.

Tang Hai said, "If it is broken, it will hurt a lot."

His voice is very textured, and it rang on the top of my hair.

I just noticed that I was still in his arms.

There was a very faint smell of gunpowder smoke on his body, with the bitterness of the cold wind.

I blushed a little.

Tang Hai quickly let go of me and asked, "Why didn't you go to set off the fireworks?"

Noticing the bowl in my hand, he thought for a moment and said, "I remember that your house hires hourly workers to clean it every day."

I replied: "Part-time workers usually come during the day, but my mother doesn't like the dishes piled up in the kitchen."

Tang Hai asked: "Then is it finished now?"

I nod.

He said, "Go and set off the fireworks, Sisi left you a fairy stick."

Sisi is that talkative cousin.

Feeling excited for no reason, I put on my coat and went downstairs with him.

Sister Tiantian and the others were still in the courtyard, surrounded by various firecrackers, laughing and dancing.

Tang Hai shouted: "Tang Tiantian."

When Sister Tiantian saw it was him, she immediately took out a bundle of fairy sticks from the big bag and ran over.

"Uncle, I left it for you."

Tang Hai didn't answer, and glanced at her with a smile on his face: "Didn't you say you wanted to give it to Mu Yi?

Sister Tiantian froze for a moment, then patted her head: "Yes, yes, I said so."

She handed me the fairy wand and said kindly, "Let's go, Mu Yi, let's set off the fireworks."

I was pulled forward by her, for some reason, there were lively laughter and bright lights in front of me, but I couldn't help but look back.

In the silent place, Tang Hai stood in the shadow of a tree, lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, but didn't smoke it.
