Dream Dance Gracefully - Chapter 73 - Lin Yiyi is Back
And so, a night passed by. When it was time to finish school, Li Shaofei directly took Xu Meng to Jiangning Park. They had a meal first, and by the time they got there, it was already dark.
In the afternoon at Zhang Wan’er’s home.
Chen Tianqi was playing in the yard like a little child, making mud pies. This was the third day since he had woken up, and Zhang Wan’er was sitting beside him, watching him play. She really didn’t want Chen Tianqi to get hurt again, not even by falling, so she stayed close to him.
“Sister, I want to go out and play. Why won’t you let me? It’s so boring at home,” Chen Tianqi looked up at Zhang Wan’er, with some mud still on his face.
Zhang Wan’er smiled and reached out to wipe the dirt off his face, jokingly saying, “Tianqi, you can’t go out yet. There are bad people outside who might catch you.”
“No, I’m not afraid! If the bad guys come, I’ll just chase them away and show them how strong I am.” As he said this, Chen Tianqi flexed his arms and demonstrated a few moves. “Besides, I have sister to protect me. I won’t be scared! Just let me go, sister, please…”
Zhang Wan’er thought for a moment and figured it wouldn’t be noticed if they went out at night. So she decided to take Chen Tianqi out in the evening. But where? She didn’t dare take him by the riverside, never again!
After thinking for a long time, she decided on Jiangning Park. It had been three years since the last time she went there-she had only been once, and she hadn’t visited anywhere else. She certainly couldn’t bring Chen Tianqi to the amusement park.
“Tianqi, how about we go out tonight? There will be beautiful fireworks!” Zhang Wan’er said, looking at Chen Tianqi, who was playing with mud again.
As soon as Chen Tianqi heard he could go out, he jumped up and clapped his hands, “Great! Awesome!”
Seeing this, Zhang Wan’er also stood up, feeling quite happy since that was all she could do for him.
In an instant, Chen Tianqi rushed over and gave Zhang Wan’er a tight hug.
“Thank you, sister! You’re my favorite!”
Zhang Wan’er was momentarily stunned, wishing that this moment could last forever!
Regaining her senses, she reached out and hugged Chen Tianqi back, gently patting him on the back…
Nightfall came quickly. After having dinner, Zhang Wan’er took Chen Tianqi’s hand and carefully hailed a taxi, heading straight to Jiangning Park.
The reason for coming here was not just that it was fun but also because there were many people around.
“Tianqi, remember not to run around. Stay right next to me, okay?” Zhang Wan’er reminded him once again, not wanting him to stray. She didn’t want to lose him; these days felt quite good.
“Okay, okay! You’re so naggy, sister,” Chen Tianqi giggled.
“Promise me! Or we’ll go back right now. Did you hear me?” Zhang Wan’er’s expression suddenly became serious.
Seeing this, Chen Tianqi realized that his sister was upset. “Okay, I promise, sister! I definitely won’t run off. I’ll stay right by your side.”
“Good! Now let’s go have some fun!” With that, she took Chen Tianqi out of the taxi, and they walked into Jiangning Park…
The sky was completely dark now.
The night sky was dotted with stars, making it quite beautiful.
Li Shaofei was with Xu Meng, looking around and spinning in circles. Xu Meng was feeling gloomy because of Chen Tianqi’s situation and also due to Zhang Wan’er. She clearly remembered the words spoken that night, which weighed heavily on her heart. But she couldn’t talk to anyone about it. She was worried about both Chen Tianqi and Zhang Wan’er because they were both her good friends.
Feeling oppressed, she wanted to get out and clear her mind.
“Do you have something on your mind? You don’t seem very happy,” Li Shaofei asked, noticing Xu Meng’s gloomy demeanor.
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing at all. Yiyi has been gone for a long time, and now Tianqi is gone too. Wan’er is busy with work, and I miss them,” Xu Meng replied, shaking her head.
“Come on, don’t worry! At least they’re all safe. Don’t stress too much about it; everything will be fine,” Li Shaofei reassured her.
“Hmm.” After hearing this, Xu Meng decided not to dwell on the topic anymore. After all, they were out to have a good time and needed to temporarily forget their worries.
Next, they headed towards the square, where there was a large fountain…
“Look, sister! Over there, the fountain is still spraying! Can we go there? Please, sister?” Chen Tianqi tugged at Zhang Wan’er, brimming with excitement. With the mind of a child, his curiosity was piqued when he spotted the fountain.
“Okay, okay! Yes, let’s go. But walk slowly and don’t run!” Zhang Wan’er replied, chuckling at his enthusiasm.
As soon as she agreed, Chen Tianqi immediately grabbed her hand and started running towards the fountain.
At that moment, they passed by a woman selling balloons. Chen Tianqi glanced at the balloons, then back at the fountain, deciding that the fountain was more tempting than the balloons.
Meanwhile, Xu Meng and Li Shaofei were on the other side of the balloons, and the four of them brushed past each other without noticing.
However, on the edge of the square, a shadow flickered as someone took out a phone and sent a text: Boss, those people have thrown Chen Tianqi into the river, but he didn’t die.
Chen Tianqi followed Zhang Wan’er, looking very happy. Seeing him so joyful made Zhang Wan’er happy too.
Xu Meng seemed to have forgotten her worries and was enjoying herself, and Li Shaofei joined in her laughter.
Suddenly, a loud “bang!” echoed throughout the park, catching the attention of everyone present.
Zhang Wan’er froze for a moment; she had only jokingly said there would be fireworks. Could it really be true?
Indeed, it was fireworks. Following the initial sound, there were more explosions in quick succession.
The sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, lighting up the entire night.
Li Shaofei and Xu Meng looked up, entranced by the display.
On the other side, Chen Tianqi and Zhang Wan’er stood hand in hand, gazing at the sky.
It felt as though the moment would never end, yet it also seemed like it could vanish the very next second. Their hands were tightly linked.
Neither wanted to let go, unwilling to part. The fireworks were beautiful; their splendor was fleeting. Could love be eternal like this moment?…
Later that evening, Yang Xue called Zhang Wan’er to announce that Lin Yiyi had returned and wanted to see Chen Tianqi!
