After getting off the car, even though Lin Yu was happy and a bit vain inside, he still tried hard to hold back the corners of his mouth to prevent it from curving up too wildly.
He still had to maintain the persona of a blond - haired guy being chased after.
Could he act like a lovesick puppy?
"Hi," Lin Yu waved to Tang Manman, who had already noticed them.
Under the dim moonlight and the bright streetlights, whether it was just Lin Yu's illusion or not, he just felt that Tang Manman's beautiful eyes seemed to light up, as if she had seen a precious treasure that made her heart flutter.
Tang Manman raised her hand and waved gently in response. She looked a bit shy, but when she saw Lin Yu, there was more happiness on her face.
She trotted a few steps up to Lin Yu and took out the treasure she had been holding in her arms.
There was shyness hidden in her beautiful eyes, but she still mustered up the courage to look directly at Lin Yu and presented the treasure in her arms personally, saying softly,
"Lin Yu."
"Happy New Year."
Looking at the shy and innocent girl in front of him, Lin Yu was momentarily stunned.
But soon he realized that he couldn't just stare at her like that.
It was so unseemly!
Subconsciously, he shifted his gaze to the New Year's gift in Tang Manman's hand. Looking at the white scarf folded several times, Lin Yu quickly realized it was a scarf.
Why did Tang Manman also give him a scarf?
A big question mark popped up in Lin Yu's head.
But obviously, Lin Yu wouldn't ask this tricky question at this moment. He took the exquisitely - made white scarf from Tang Manman and happily thanked her, saying,
"Thank you."
Tang Manman tucked the stray hairs beside her face behind her ears, revealing her red ears. She gently shook her head and her eyes casually landed on the paper bag in Lin Yu's left hand.
Could that be a gift for her?
There was a little bit of expectation in Tang Manman's heart.
Noticing Tang Manman's gaze, Lin Yu subconsciously hid the paper bag with the teddy - bear scarf behind him.
He felt extremely guilty.
Taking a gift from one girl to go on a date with another girl.
Moreover, the relationship between the two girls was not very good.
Well.
Lin Yu, you're really something.
Do you want to cosplay Louis XVI?
After thinking for a while, Lin Yu decided to put Tang Manman's delicate and beautiful scarf into the paper bag too, trying his best to cover the teddy - bear scarf underneath so that she wouldn't notice it.
After covering up the evidence, Lin Yu turned to look at Tang Manman and asked,
"Do you like setting off firecrackers?
Let's go buy some and have fun."
Tang Manman thought for a moment and nodded, saying,
"Okay."
There was no regulation in H City banning the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, but when playing with firecrackers in the city, one always had all sorts of concerns and couldn't really have a good time.
Moreover, there were hardly any fun places still open in the city at this time. So Lin Yu simply bought several bundles of firecrackers and then took a taxi with Tang Manman to the seaside.
After getting off at the seaside road, Lin Yu took out a powerful double - bang firecracker and inserted it diagonally into the snowdrift by the roadside, with the muzzle facing the sea.
He lit the fuse, covered his ears, and shrank his neck as he ran towards Tang Manman.
Tang Manman stood in a safe place, covering her ears, looking over here carefully and excitedly.
When the fuse burned to the end, a loud noise exploded in the snowdrift. The double - bang firecracker flew out of the snowdrift under the powerful thrust and flew towards the sea.
"Boom!"
A huge and dull explosion sounded as the double - bang firecracker exploded again on the sea surface. With the help of the bright moonlight, the two of them could see a splash of water being blown high on the sea, just like in the movies when there was a bomb explosion underwater. This novel scene made their eyes light up.
The two looked at each other, with uncontrollable joy on their faces.
Lin Yu continued to run around cheerfully to set off firecrackers.
Tang Manman was like a little follower, running back and forth with Lin Yu.
When Lin Yu was inserting firecrackers into the snowdrift, she stood about one or two meters behind him, stretching her neck and looking at him eagerly like a curious child.
When Lin Yu took out the lighter, before even lighting it, she covered her ears and turned around to run. She was very smart!
The two walked and stopped on the seaside road for a long time. Almost all the bigger snowdrifts had been blown with big holes by the firecrackers of the two.
After setting off the firecrackers, they analyzed reasonably why this hole was smaller than the previous one, and they were very happy.
With such unrestrained spending, the firecracker reserves in their hands were soon used up.
Next!
It was time for the fireworks to make their appearance!
Lin Yu took out a huge firework that was a full meter long and lit it with a lighter. Gorgeous colors burst out from the flames.
He took out a new firework and put the heads of the two fireworks together. Soon, the new firework was also lit.
Lin Yu held out the newly - lit huge firework horizontally towards Tang Manman.
The green light shone on Tang Manman's beautiful face. There was an obvious glimmer of excitement in her eyes, but it was soon suppressed by hesitation.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Manman shook her head and refused the burning and beautiful firework.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked puzzledly.
"I'm afraid it will burn my clothes," Tang Manman said a bit embarrassedly.
Hearing Tang Manman's answer, Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief and said carelessly,
"So what if it's just clothes?
If it gets burned, I'll buy you a new set.
Come on.
Take it and have fun."
Saying that, Lin Yu stretched the handle of the firework towards Tang Manman again.
Tang Manman still shook her head and was unwilling to take the firework. She looked at Lin Yu, and there was a bit more resentment in her eyes this time.
"No.
I want to keep this set of clothes.
This is the first thing you gave me."
At this point, Tang Manman didn't continue, but any normal person could understand what she meant.
She wanted to cherish it.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. Soon, understanding what Tang Manman meant, he blushed a bit and subconsciously wanted to scratch his face to hide his embarrassment.
But as soon as his hands moved, he realized that he was holding a firework in each hand and couldn't do anything. He could only stand there stupidly.
Facing Tang Manman's sincere gaze, Lin Yu was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.
After standing there awkwardly for a while, Lin Yu gave a silly smile, forcibly covering up his embarrassment. Then he focused on the fireworks in his hands. Holding one in each hand, he twisted his wrists to make the burning parts of the fireworks form small circles.
After playing for a while just to cover up his embarrassment.
Lin Yu actually got a bit addicted to it.
You know what.
You really have to admit!
This stuff is really kind of fun!
However, Lin Yu wasn't a selfish person. After the two fireworks burned out one after another, Lin Yu rummaged through the "arsenal" and found a firework that Tang Manman could play with.
"Here," Lin Yu handed the golden - cudgel - like firework to Tang Manman and said,
"This is safe.
I guarantee it won't burn your clothes."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
