He Lingyi tilted her head back to watch the fireworks, a huge smile on her face.
Jiang Sifan watched her, suddenly feeling that this moment was particularly beautiful.
When the fireworks ended, the crowd slowly began to disperse.
He Lingyi remained standing where she was, unwilling to leave.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Sifan, her eyes shining.
"Brother Sifan."
"Hm?"
She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
It was light and fast, like a feather drifting onto the surface of the water.
Jiang Sifan froze.
He Lingyi's face was flushed, but she kept her eyes on him and said seriously, "In the new year, I'll be starting college, so you can't treat me like a kid anymore. I'm an adult, just like you."
She took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted into the emptying square, "Brother Sifan! I like you!"
Her voice echoed in the night sky. The remaining crowd turned back, some laughing and clapping, others hooting, "Kiss! Kiss!"
