The house dulled the enormous sound of the fireworks exploding outside; the noise they could hear was very, very small.

"How did you manage that? How precise must the location of the fireworks be to be seen right through the skylight?"

Wen Nian bent down and kissed her forehead,
"Tired?"

Wen Nian tenderly wrapped his arms around her,
"When you said last night that you were going to give birth, you really scared me to death."
"Why are you so easily frightened?"
