The daylight has already begun to fade, but the reluctant sunset refuses to clock out just yet, casting the sky in a deep orange and yellow glow.
After being taken to the open space in the village, Zhong Qing stood alone admiring the twilight scene. Where did Tunan go? When asked, she didn't know either, leaving behind the words "wait for me for half an hour" and then disappeared without a trace.
Waking up the phone screen, it's 19:06. Zhong Qing is getting impatient. Her boyfriend probably doesn't know that the thing she hates most is waiting for someone.
"Sister!"
Following the direction of the voice, a little person was waving at her from a distant high ground. It was not Tunan, but who was it? Zhong Qing was just about to raise her arm to wave back when, at exactly 19:07, "Whoosh~ Bang!"
A fluorescent pixie shot straight up into the sky, taking a deep breath at the unseen highest point, and then threw out millions of green silk ribbons in a cluster, each ribbon bursting into clusters of emerald velvet flowers at its tip, like rain threads, like wind pieces.
The signaled fireworks pixies poured out in droves, one after another rushing towards the half-page ink-colored, half-crimson night sky. They had waited in the car's trunk for a whole day, just for this moment, to create a stunning memory for today's leading lady that even time would find difficult to steal away.
The fiery flames not only illuminated the gradually darkening sky, but also the heart of Zhong Qing, golden, purple, red, blue... like being adorned with neon lights, changing colors along with the fireworks, each representing a wish she made in the past.
"Sister!"
Tunan ran a bit hurriedly, and when he stopped, he was still panting lightly, but a smile was always on his face.
"Did you set off the fireworks?"
"Mmm! Do you like it?"
"I like it, it's very beautiful! I haven't seen fireworks in a long time."
"There's more~ Close your eyes first."
"Ah, such a cliché plot? The fireworks haven't finished yet."
"There are plenty of fireworks left. It won't take long. This is something good."
"Better be."
Zhong Qing Helplessly closed my eyes, heard a rustling sound, and a "click" like a lighter.
"It's ready!"
"What a mysterious thing... mysterious."
It turned out to be a Sparkler. Zhong Qing's favorite firework is the Sparkler, although it is clear and cold, it is the reachable beauty, just like the beauty of everything in the world, each with its own time limit. Not seeking eternity, only caring about the present moment, that is Zhong Qing.
"Sister, happy birthday!"
The cold light of the Sparkler accentuated Tunan's facial contours, making his bright eyes and white teeth look like those of a so-called "comic book heartthrob." Zhong Qing thought she wouldn't be interested in younger guys, but at this moment, a surge of warmth flooded her body, causing her heart to swell as if in a dream.
Zhong Qing Never before had there been such an impulse to kiss, without the brain having time to think, hands had already climbed onto Tunan's shoulders, tiptoed, and covered her lips. Tunan stared wide-eyed for a moment, then immediately responded to the kiss, embraced tightly, leaned in, deepened it, until they were out of breath.
"Phew~" When they parted, both took a long breath, then slowly exhaled, concealing the still pounding hearts.
"Sister, is this considered..."
"A reward from God."
Sister is still sister, even if she pours out her true feelings, it's just a kiss. Zhong Qing stared at the man's lips, wiped away the lipstick mark, lightly patted his cheek, and interrupted the possible development of the next scene with a smile.
"Let's go, Er San, it's time to go home."

When I got home, it was already close to 22 o'clock. Tunan hesitated to speak, and finally took out a piece of paper.
"What is this?"
"Customer service satisfaction confirmation form."
"Well, the service is very good. I'm very satisfied," said the older sister.
"You still need to sign here."
Zhong Qing signed the paper readily and handed it to the young boy who had accompanied her all day.
"Sister, that kiss..."
"It couldn't be your first kiss, could it?"
"What if I say yes?"
"I'm not responsible either. You should be content that your first kiss was with such a beauty like me."
"Sister, I find that you have quite a thick skin."
"Thick skin is necessary to live openly. Little brother, it's time for you to get off work."
"One last question."
"Go ahead."
"Can I be my sister's boyfriend?"
Can you? If Tunan were not nine years younger, even just a couple of years younger, then Zhong Qing might really consider it. But she is 30 years old now, and she no longer has the patience and courage to gamble her heart on a brother who is only 21 years old.
In Tunan's eyes, there was a glint, and Zhong Qing suddenly regretted being so impulsive. But kisses had already been exchanged, and now it was time to put an end to it.
"No."
"Why?"
"It's not me, but your kissing skills are... tsk..."
"Are they really bad?"
"You said it yourself! Alright, it's getting late, you should go back now!"
Zhong Qing said while pushing the person towards the door, but Tunan used their foot to block the door crack.
"Sister, let me try again, okay? I promise, this time I'll be really good!"
"Haven't you heard a saying?"
"What's up?"
"You only get one chance. Bye!"
Stepping on the foot, a push, and the door is closed. Well, that was smooth.
"Sister, we will meet again."
Tunan's voice was very soft, but every word entered Zhong Qing's ears. Separated by the door, Zhong Qing waited for a while before hearing the sound of the elevator going down outside the door. They touched their lips, as if they could still feel the touch of their lips and teeth together. In fact, the technology was not bad, but what could be done? They had only known each other for a day, could they really be in love?
23:59: Will we meet again? Let fate decide!
This was Zhong Qing's last thought before falling asleep. She didn't know that the wish she made in the last minute of her birthday would most likely come true, and it would be the kind of wish that would surprise even the ghosts.
What will that ghost say?
He says, "Sister, we meet again."

Tunan The first time I met Zhong Qing was at a school event a year ago. At that time, the school collaborated with his family's publishing group to hold a large book exhibition, and Zhong Qing was sent to work at the magazine exhibition area. It seems that it was love at first sight with Zhong Qing.
On that day, he asked someone for Zhong Qing's name, along with a series of social media usernames, including phone numbers and WeChat. He wasn't a reckless hunter; he wanted to understand her habits and preferences before capturing his target.
He followed Zhong Qing's short video account for VLOG updates, in order to be the first to know about the latest developments regarding the target. In doing so, he learned about the drinks Zhong Qing likes, the snacks she enjoys, and how she longs for her childhood memories due to her nostalgia for her grandmother. He also discovered that Zhong Qing has always hoped for someone to set off an unforgettable fireworks display for her.
This sister keeps saying that she wants a peaceful life, but she can't help but look forward to romantic surprises. How adorable.
When did he decide to take action?
It's probably about hearing Zhong Qing say in the VLOG thanking 3 million fans, "I'm about to turn 30! I will definitely be more beautiful at 30 than I was at 20, so you must not miss it!"
Yes, he doesn't want to miss it, and he can't miss it.
The subsequent actions all seemed so natural: bribing her best friend to collaborate in setting a "trap," obtaining the opportunity for an internship in magazine management from her elderly father, disguising a personal assistant agreement as a "customer service satisfaction confirmation form," and finally, the formal meeting.
What will be the outcome of Zhong Qing and Tunan's story? Who knows, but the scheming hunter certainly won't let the target they've set their sights on easily "escape" from their grasp.
Lovely person, if a stranger comes knocking at the door of your heart, don't rush to reject them, because it could very well be love. Predestined or not, isn't it also a kind of fate?
