Just as Ji Yuehua was secretly in deep thought, suddenly, a loud "bang" pulled him back to reality from his spiritual world.

When I looked up, I saw a firework exploding in the sky. It turns out that before I knew it, I had come to the key part of this festival, which was the fireworks display.

As if there was a tacit understanding, everyone present silently held their breath.

Immediately after the "fuse" as a reminder, the second and third fireworks were also launched into the air in turn.

Fireworks with long tails rise from the ground and explode as they climb high into the air. Colorful fireworks spread across the dark blue night sky like ripples caused by pebbles thrown into the lake, illuminating the starlit night.

In the blink of an eye, the entire night sky has been occupied by brilliant fireworks.

Waves of fireworks climbed high into the sky. Before the light of the forerunners had dissipated, the follow-up armorers had already swarmed in, igniting their lives one after another. Accompanied by dense loud noises, one after another by craftsmen, gorgeous and dazzling patterns are presented in the night sky, combined with the beautiful night sky, which is dizzying.

Attracted by the colorful brilliance in the sky, Ji Yuehua opened her mouth slightly, and was unconsciously stunned.

To be sure, he hadn't seen anything like fireworks before.

As the former deputy director of the Technology Development Bureau, he has been addicted to various manga, anime and games for many years———— and more importantly, he is already an adult. He has seen fireworks in a variety of media, and he knows what fireworks are like, so if he is interested, he can make them himself. Before carrying out tonight's plan, he even repeated the footage of the fireworks more than a dozen times at home.

But.

But what do you think...... Staring at the grand occasion in front of her, Ji Yuehua silently smiled bitterly in her heart.

Touching something through a screen or a book, being there in person, capturing it with your own eyes, and feeling the atmosphere of the scene with your whole body are simply two different dimensional things.

In retrospect, why is it that the invention of the camera has long been present in this world, and that there has never been a shortage of poets and painters throughout history, and that there is probably not an inch of land within the borders of the country that people have never set foot on and left a record, and yet people still visit those places over and over again, and never get tired of it?

There is no other reason.

Just like the beautiful scenery of nature, how can the vivid colors that seem to carry life ———— be captured by words and videos?

The fireworks that poured the soul of the craftsman, as if with a demonic nature, ignited the passion of everyone present, and even Ji Yuehua was inevitably affected.

Even if you know that the beauty that is presented in front of you at this moment may not be in the top ten among the known fireworks, even if you know that you will forget the beauty of this moment in front of you when you wake up...... At this moment, no one would think that it is not worth it to come here and witness the scenery in front of them.

It's ridiculous that he used to only focus on his own goals and missions, and has always limited his "world" to that isolated place, but he doesn't know that the world is colorful after all.

Working towards the goal is certainly not a fault. However, to focus too much on a certain obsession and deliberately paint one's "world" in gray is a typical madness.

In times of peace, because there is no stimulation from the outside, perhaps the parties can still get by and live leisurely. However, once something happens, the hidden danger hidden in the heart will be like a bomb, and it will explode with a "bang", which will eventually lead that person to the path of the sword and possibly even self-destruction.

———— probably, it was because his teacher Nangong Longfei realized this that he finally let go of his hatred and was willing to retire to the mountains and forests, right?

However, he is still in the game today.

Thinking of this layer, Ji Yuehua couldn't help but glance at Tachibana Yukino next to her. And then......

“—————”

In an instant, I was stunned.

Under the moonlight, Tachibana Yukino watched the fireworks show overhead. The beautiful side face rarely exudes a child-like, excited expression. In the dark pupils, there was a look of excitement.

Even the gorgeous fireworks couldn't hide it, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the ground, enveloping Tachibana Yukino's body, adding a hazy beauty to the black-haired beauty in a wheelchair that seemed to be close in front of her eyes, as if she couldn't reach it with her hands.

———— think about it, it's because I'm too engrossed.

Tachibana Yukino is originally a beautiful woman who is not inferior to fireworks. It's just that because she has an introverted personality and an elegant style, she rarely shows that beauty.

However, this is no longer the case.

Under the "natural barrier" formed by fireworks and noise, for a while, the senior sister also forgot to restrain herself.

Underpinned by self-control and morality, that reliable outer skin is inadvertently peeled off. What is then revealed is a longing for beautiful things————— and an innocent expression that is incomparably matched by the young and beautiful appearance.

Against the backdrop of the soft moonlight, Tachibana Yukino at this moment is like a picture scroll, with a fantasy beauty that can easily take away a person's soul just by looking at it.

I don't know when it started.

Whether it's the sound of fireworks, the summer breeze, or the excitement caused by the surrounding crowd...... For Ji Yuehua, everything seemed to be far away. In his vision, only the black-haired beauty in a wheelchair remained.

Beauty with beautiful scenery. If you look at it visually, it's undoubtedly a treat for the eyes.

But......

Why?

Under that seemingly excited look, for some reason, people feel a faint sadness, both like attachment and nostalgia———— just looking at it makes people feel as if a heart is strangled, and it hurts faintly.

Because she was attracted by the fireworks overhead, Tachibana Yukino didn't notice the fact that Ji Yuehua was staring at her face in a daze.

However, at the same time, Ji Yuehua's heart was constantly sinking.

————That's not right.

Like everything in the past, he was the one who screwed up.

This should not be his place. Originally, the person who was supposed to accompany the other party to the festival here was not him, but the person who fell in love with Yukino Tachibana, a person who cared more about this senior sister than him.

With the other party's personality and appearance, how can you not find a high-quality man? Originally, the other party didn't need to worry about the rest of his life at all.

The reason why he fell into the situation of imprinting such a touching picture in his eyes with his juniors is because he has caused the other party to become crippled.

Although Tachibana Yukino herself doesn't think so, she has begun to resist contact with others now, and she is already satisfied just living in her own small castle———— which is just the opposite of what she used to be, but more like him back then.

This gentle senior sister deserves a happy life. However, he took it all away.

That's right.

It's all his fault......
