Just as he was about to wipe her eyes with the back of his hand, Lu Juyan handed over a handkerchief and took her hand. He opened his mouth and gave her a way out. "You're too blinded by the wind. Don't wipe it with your hands."

Lu Juyan's very considerate actions caused Du Ruqing's heart to quiver. She accepted the handkerchief with lowered eyes and lightly wiped the corners of her eyes. He looked at the teardrop dripping onto it, as if it had been dyed to a beautiful flower. His arm felt the warmth of his palm, and he felt a sudden desire to get more.

The two of them walked to an empty space in the center of the square. Placing the fireworks in his hand on the ground, he pressed down the lighter and looked at Du Liqing, who was at the side, and reminded him: "Do you want to light the fire, or should I?"

"You click. I'll take the lead." Du Ruqing walked up and squatted down to pick up the fireworks thread, waiting for it to burn. The arm that had just been touched by Lu Juyan had already turned slightly red. The coolness of the breeze caused one to feel an inexplicable urge to caress it.

Lu Juyan pressed down on the lighter again, and the flame ignited the fuse. He immediately grabbed Du Liqing's hand and pulled her back a few steps to prevent the smoke from spewing out and injuring her.

The fireworks exploded upwards with a bang, illuminating the dark sky. Many people turned to look at the place where the fireworks were blossoming, becoming the center of light of the plaza.

"I heard that when fireworks are at their brightest, one can fulfill one's wish." Du Liqing, who was watching the fireworks, ignored the fact that Lu Juyan had been grabbing her wrist all this time. He only turned his gaze towards her when he suddenly said those words. At this moment, Lu Juyan happened to lower his head and set his gaze on Du Liqing.

The two of them looked at each other at the same time, but because of Du Qing's habitual habit of escaping, it ended. She broke free from Lu Juyan's restraints. When she saw that the fireworks were about to erupt with their brightest radiance, she placed her hands in front of her chest and slightly closed her eyes. She secretly made a wish in her heart.

I hope my father will have a good night's sleep!

After the sound of the fireworks, Du Liqing lowered his hand and slightly opened his eyes. Looking at the dark sky, he felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

"What wish?" Lu Juyan took note of Du Liqing's green emotions and waved his hand in front of her eyes, cutting off her thoughts and faintly wanting to help her see the depths of her heart.

"I won't tell you." Du Liqing squatted down and picked up the leftover trash from the fireworks. He walked to a nearby trash can and threw it away. He turned around and met Lu Juyan's expectant gaze. Both of his hands were placed behind his back as he said those words in a very prideful manner.

It was unknown whether it was because Du Ruqing and Lu Juyan's fireworks had moved the hearts of many young lovers, or because of the amount of time they had, that the number of people in the plaza had increased.

"Go back." The slightly uncomfortable Du Liqing slowly spoke, afraid that he would lose his way with Lu Juyan. He didn't want to experience that fearful feeling again. A gentle breeze caressed her face. She used her fingertips to brush her hair away from her lips, and her steps became serious.

Lu Juyan didn't like places with too many people and gave a soft grunt of agreement. She subconsciously reached out to grab Du Yun's wrist to prevent the crowd from losing her.

The two of them followed the footsteps of the crowd as they walked across the square. The sounds of fireworks were resounding in their ears, but what they cared about in their hearts was not the beauty of the fireworks, but the instantaneous warmth of the company.

The next day, the two of them got up early and went to work together, having a very peaceful morning.

Du Liqing returned to her office. Just as she sat down, the secretary came in with a pile of documents and placed it in front of her desk. She reminded her, "Boss, there's going to be a meeting in half an hour. This is the details of the meeting."

"Hmm, if there's nothing else, you can leave." Du Liqing put the things in his hands aside and looked at the documents that were sent over. He then took out the documents that he had dealt with yesterday and prepared to organize them properly. He then subconsciously let his secretary go out to do her own work.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost time to finish. The secretary pushed open the door and Du Liqing also stood up from his chair. The two of them looked at each other, and the secretary walked up without saying a word to help Du Ruqing carry the documents in her hands and walked into the meeting room.

The small conference room had been full for a minute, and everyone was waiting for Du to appear. When the door to the meeting room was pushed open, everyone sat up straight and Du Liqing walked in from the outside and sat down at the head of the meeting room. When the secretary put down the documents, she said in a serious tone, "Meeting."

One by one, they summarized their work in a month and told each other everything they needed to know about it. Then, they suggested a way to solve each problem.

In the middle of the meeting room, the door was pushed open again. A security guard walked in and stood next to Du Liqing. He bent down and whispered in her ear, "Boss Du, someone is looking for you."

The security guard didn't want to disturb the meeting, so he tactfully lowered his voice to only be heard by Du Ruqing.

"Who?" After being interrupted in the middle of the process, there was a faint feeling of separation in his heart. However, he still asked politely to avoid wasting the visitor's time.

"It seems to be a young lady called Qu Yanyan."

Many people in the meeting had their gazes on the security guards, causing his scalp to tingle. The most serious problem was the gaze of the man sitting closest to him. His deep eyes made him feel as if he was about to be engulfed. He pretended to be calm as he thought about the girl's name outside the door. He turned his head to look at Du Liqing's puzzled eyes and slowly told her the name after thinking about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took a few steps back. The feeling of being stared at was extremely uncomfortable, it made him subconsciously want to escape.

"I'll stop for a moment. I'm sorry everyone, I have some private matters to attend to. The meeting will resume in half an hour.

Qu Yan's three words made Du Ruqing quiver, and without saying a word, she stood up from her seat. He expressed his apologies to everyone and glanced at the time. Looking at the people below the stage, he felt a little tired, so he hurriedly left after giving a few words of advice.

At the front desk entrance, Qu Yan was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Du Ruqing's appearance. Her brows were slightly knitted, and the mood in her heart was extremely uncomfortable. When she saw Du Ruqing's figure, she immediately couldn't sit still anymore. She walked up to her and pointed at her heart, angrily saying, "It's all your fault. Yuan Wei wanted to break up with me. Are you happy? Your conscience won't hurt!"
