Airport,
Huo Chengdong disguised himself as a pickup boy to pick up the two of them, giving them water enthusiastically, just short of opening the car door for them.
"You two brothers, where are you from? Hungry? I have snacks in my car, want some snacks?" Fortunately, he didn't drive a sports car in order to fit the fireworks, otherwise three people wouldn't fit.
"On such a big holiday, are you here to accompany Sister Ying to celebrate the New Year? What's the plan afterwards?" Huo Chengdong looked at the person in the passenger seat next to him.
The latter had been ignoring him all this time, looking out the window.
With somewhat natural curly blondish-brown hair, he had a baby face with a few freckles on it, looking even younger than him.
He was a foreigner, somewhat aloof.
The one in the back seat was mature and steady, a Chinese, speaking politely and didn't bother him.
"I still don't know what your relationship is with our bo...with Sister Ying? What should I call you?" Bai Xiao asked.
"My relationship with Sister Ying is profound, hard to explain in a few words, you'll naturally find out later." Huo Chengdong felt wonderful inside: "My surname is Huo, my name is Huo Chengdong, went to the same school as Sister Ying, I'm not that capable, I was her senior schoolmate."
Sack in the passenger seat turned his head to finally look at him, then turned his face away to continue looking out the window again, acting all aloof like a boy.
"Huo Chengdong?" Bai Xiao felt this name sounded familiar.
Before returning home, Bai Xiao had done a simple investigation to understand some of the prestigious families, powerful clans and nobilities in the capital.
"Are you the young master of the Huo family?"
"Big brother, you've heard of me too! Didn't expect I'm quite famous." Call me young master, just call me by my name." Huo Chengdong said modestly.
Bai Xiao felt a little uneasy, the heir of the prestigious Huo family was being his driver, this... could only say the boss was truly amazing.
Bai Xiao: "Thanks for the trouble, making a young master like you come pick us up on such a big holiday."
"Small matter, Sister Ying's friends are my friends. No need to stand on ceremonies, and I had to come anyway if Sister Ying couldn't arrange a car for you guys on holiday."
At a red light, Huo Chengdong stepped on the brakes.
"Haven't asked for this one's name yet?" Huo Chengdong looked at Sack.
"His name is Sack." Bai Xiao answered for Sack.
"Sack." Huo Chengdong remembered, the next second, the car was rear-ended.
With a "Bang!" quite hard, the whole car shook violently, sending the three people inside forward from inertia.
After Huo Chengdong steadied himself, he cursed and got out of the car aggressively. "Bang Bang" he slapped the rear car's hood.
"Damn your grandpa! Do you know how to drive? Are you driving or fucking with me! Get the fuck out here!"
The window rolled down,
Huo Chengdong glared: "Fuck! Su Qingyu?"
"Are you blind? How could you hit this, brake failure or you gone blind? Did your math teacher issue your driver's license? With your skill you dare to drive, got people to feed at home? Not home eating dinner on New Year's Eve, out here being a road killer, can't stand seeing others reunited so want to smash two people to welcome the new year?"
"It wasn't on purpose." Su Qingyu frightened herself too, she had just gotten her license, wanted to build up courage practicing when there were fewer cars on holiday.
"I see you did it on purpose! So many cars yet you smash into mine, your eyes been replaced by your butt, or my car has magnets, sucking you in?"
Bai Xiao got out to check the dented rear compartment.
"Huo Chengdong are you done scolding, I already said not on purpose, I'll pay you double still not okay?
"Am I short of money? Rare for you to pay for it, come on out, let me smash into you a bit, I'll pay you ten times."
"If you weren't associated with Sister Ying, fuck I would......" Huo Chengdong was arguing with Su Qingyu, when he suddenly heard a strange sound: "Swoosh~Bang!!!"
The firecracker sounds were a bit muffled, sounded weird, like being stuffed inside an iron box.
Huo Chengdong was bursting out, got interrupted by the strange firecracker sounds, instantly couldn't vent properly, looked up and spurted: "Damn your mom, banned fireworks in the city center, which dumb twat polluting environment, weren't taught at home?"
As if to spite him, all kinds of firecracker sounds started one after another, overlapping densely like setting off firecrackers.
Bai Xiao and Sack watched the suddenly "agitated" rear compartment, retreated warily, one of Bai Xiao's hands already reflexively reached to his waist......
The rear compartment suddenly "went crazy", like a few hundred excited mice were "leaping around" inside.
"Oh my god! Bad!" Seeing the situation, Huo Chengdong hurriedly rushed over.
"Be careful." Bai Xiao wanted to stop him but too late, Huo Chengdong had already opened the rear compartment.
Releasing sparks all over.
The boxes of fireworks inside tipped over, fireworks spurting chaotically in all directions, shooting upwards, downwards, leftwards, rightwards, spinning in circles, lingo monkeys, fairy sticks, red, blue, purple, green, dazzling.
Huo Chengdong got blasted all over the place by the fireworks.
Su Qingyu stretched her head out of the car, just in time to see Huo Chengdong frantically dancing among the sparks: "Huo Chengdong, your car exploded." Wasn't from her collision right?
Huo Chengdong roared back: "Fuck your car exploded!"
Su Qingyu looked up at the fireworks, couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow......"
After showering, Qiao Ying came to the booked hotel restaurant, ordered dishes and waited for them. Out the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a few fireworks blossomed.
Qiao Ying looked up.
This direction......which genius, setting off fireworks in the downtown area.
She thought only Huo Chengdong the "crouching dragon" could pull off this kind of thing, didn't expect there would be another "rising phoenix".
On New Year's Eve, over half of Beijing's residents saw the fireworks, children plastered themselves against windows or ran out, inevitably somewhat nostalgic since fireworks were banned downtown, hadn't seen any for years.
Just that the launcher seemed unfamiliar, with quite a few fireworks gone astray.
Having waited a long half hour, people finally arrived.
Qiao Ying sat at the dining table playing on her phone, looking up to see three tattered and grimy people walk in.
All of them looked like went through artillery bombardment, the server asked Qiao Ying repeatedly to confirm they were her friends.
Qiao Ying hesitated, nodded, recognized the three people.
Qiao Ying: "Did you three blow up bunkers?"
Hearing that, Sack's fists clenched tightly, face extremely gloomy seemingly about to erupt bashing people the next second.
Sack glared fiercely at Huo Chengdong beside him.
Bai Xiao and Sack were still passable, but the other was rather unbearable looking almost like a tramp, face black as wok, some burnt hair strands, pants ripped open with a hole, moving up a little, close to flashing.
Fortunately Qiao Ying had extraordinary vision, otherwise she really wouldn't recognize him.
"Hehe, Sister Ying......"
Huo Chengdong grinned, baring his big white teeth.
Qiao Ying's eyes stung, inhaling lightly: "What happened? Plane crash?" Did you crash right into Huo Chengdong?
Huo Chengdong felt a little embarrassed: "The fireworks in my rear compartment exploded."
Qiao Ying: "......"
So both crouching dragon and rising phoenix were Huo Chengdong?!
Qiao Ying retracted her gaze: "Go wash up and eat."
The three people hurried to the restroom to quickly wash up before returning to the private room.
Qiao Ying smiled seeing a clean Sack again: "Little Sack, long time no see."
Sack speechless, how come she didn't say so when he entered looking dirty just now, was it because he was filthy, unwilling to recognize him?
Qiao Ying: "How come there's no attendant here?"
Sack opened his mouth, then awkwardly looked away without answering.
Bai Xiao took a seat: "Boss."
Huo Chengdong exclaimed: "Boss?!"
