Chapter 750: Chapter 317: Such misfortune!
A red star rose against the current, piercing the clouds and revealing itself, before finally exploding into a magnificent shower of sparks at a great height.
Thousands of stars fell, illuminating half the night sky, and in an instant, the 20-meter width of the floor-to-ceiling windows was filled.
"Wow..."
The girls gasped in amazement, moving instinctively toward the windows, each pulling out their phones.
"So beautiful!"
Gu Jiuyue was thrilled, turning to Su Huai with sparkling eyes, "Susu?"
Just two words, as if asking everything and yet nothing at all.
Su Huai smiled and nodded, taking her hand and leading her to the window.
"Do you like it?"
"Uh-huh!"
Gu nodded vigorously, filled with excitement.
Amid the fireworks, Su Huai’s gentle smile radiated a warm orange light. He tilted his head, not watching the path, but the crowd naturally parted, creating a flowery path for him and Gu.
While walking, he gently reminded her, "Manage your expectations! Don’t get too excited because it’s going to get even better."
"Okay!"
Gu Jiuyue clutched her chest forcefully, reminding herself not to get too excited, yet her heart had already started to flutter.
Fortunately, since they were inside the hotel, separated by glass, the scent of gunpowder did not seep in, reducing the immediacy of the experience somewhat.
Still, the continuous rise of fireworks during their walk forward brought tremendous shock.
After the thousand stars, came the eight-foot jade.
A giant thousand stars priced at 300 thousand per piece already covered half the night sky; a giant eight-foot jade worth 550 thousand soared over five hundred meters high, its splendid fireworks almost filled the entire view, clearly layering as it fell.
"Holy shit!"
The students from the big data class were dumbfounded, crying out pathetically.
"Damn, that’s so cool!"
"Bro, what the hell did you just shoot up there?"
The girls weren’t any better, chattering excitedly as if they were about to climax.
"So beautiful, so beautiful!"
"I’m so jealous, Yueyue, the whole sky is yours!"
"Hurry, take a video for me! I’m going to slay my social media!"
If everyone was yelling like that, it would be one thing, but Huang Mengting suddenly exclaimed, "Su Huai, you’re such a natural-born jerk!"
"???"
Su Huai, completely baffled, thought, why would she say that?
The group of girls burst into laughter, chanting, "Exactly, a confirmed jerk! So savvy! Just like an old sow in a bra, one scheme after another!"
"Isn’t that the truth! He’s just like the lothario in the stories~~~"
"Hahahaha..."
Ladies, is that polite?
Gou Huai scowled, escorting the giggling Gu to the window, not wanting to utter a single word to them.
But he did not ignore Gu Jiuyue; he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window with a sigh, "As for defamation, don’t rush to explain. People’s prejudices are like mountains, insurmountable, and not worth overturning. All you need is the trust of one or two confidants; the rest don’t matter..."
Gu kept laughing, her eyes mocking as she said in a childish tone, "Really? Is that true?"
Oh no!
Gu wasn’t fooled anymore...
Gou Huai glanced inconspicuously at the two photographers behind him, feeling that maintaining a dignified image was more important, so he enigmatically nodded.
See the pride in my stature?
I don’t bother explaining!
The photographer captured the side profiles of Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue, his cold countenance and her gentle smile blending amidst a vast array of fireworks, creating a scene so beautiful it made the heart flutter.
But the truth was... the damned perfect man was frantically changing the topic.
An actor-level regret soon appeared at the corner of his eyes and lips as Gou Huai sighed deeply, "It’s a pity, actually. Our country has been capable of producing 1000-kilogram eight-foot jades and Blue Demons for a while, but those level of fireworks can’t even be smuggled in. Even though we could pay, they wouldn’t dare to launch them..."
Su Huai, knowing Gu best, sure enough, her attention was diverted at once.
"Huh? Why is that?"
"Because they’re too large, the amount of explosive material exceeds the maximum allowed standards, so they’re forbidden throughout the entire Imperial Capital."
"Oh!"
Gu understood and then expressed her disappointment, "So, what we’re seeing isn’t the most beautiful?"
"Yup." Su Huai nodded and then brought up another grand plan, "Next time we have a chance, I’ll take you to my hometown in the countryside; I’ll set up a world record super firework for you!"
Gu couldn’t help but show her teeth in a rare smile, "There’s no need to go to such lengths! It’s already beautiful now... I really like it."
Crisis averted~~~
Gou Huai really had some skills, and he was becoming increasingly effortless in charming the girls.
But Zhong Ting, deliberately getting closer, was sour again.
"Su Huai, you’re really splurging, huh? A couple of millions on a fireworks show?"
Su Huai kept his smile and chose not to respond to her.
Zhong Ting was so annoyed she started stomping her feet, DuangDuang.
Tang Tiantian, seeing her frustration, couldn’t help teasing, "Stop being jealous; it’s useless. Huai’s whole heart is on Sister Yueyue, to him you’re just short, ugly, and fat~~~"
Zhong Ting cried out, feeling murderous.
It’s always like this among women, especially cruel to each other but coquettish toward men.
Of course, Su Huai didn’t want to engage with anyone, not even sparing a glance at Pei Shuyu, standing out through his focus and coldness.
Gu Jiuyue’s emotional needs were fully satisfied, her face radiant, her smile sweeter than ever.
Just then, on the other side, Wang Minjian was joking with a friend, "Today’s young people are really something else, spending so much chasing a girl. They don’t even mention the hundreds of millions spent on fireworks, and I bet they didn’t even have the permits..."
