"Yes! It looks great!"
Liu Ying nodded vigorously, her face beaming with an irrepressible smile of happiness.
"It's really beautiful!"
Qiong suddenly snapped her fingers and enthusiastically suggested:
Let's set off fireworks!
He pulled out a handful of sparklers from his spatial ring. As for large fireworks?
This epic meteor shower overhead is enough.
Okay~
Liu Ying readily agreed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
She took the sparkler that Qiong had lit for her with both hands; tiny sparks crackled and burst forth with dazzling golden starlight.
She closed her eyes, happily opened her arms, and tilted her face up to welcome the falling starlight and the streaks of light falling from the sky. The radiant smile on her face was pure and bright, enough to make anyone who saw it fall in love.
For Liuying, this was the happiest moment of her life, without exception.
A fearless thought even arose in her mind:
Even if I am destined to die in Pinocchio, having this period of time before the end is already worthwhile.
Xing also won a lot, but her way of playing was completely different.
Tie all the sparklers together, light them, and wave them around like a dazzling flamethrower.
All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation!
Qiong raised her camera again, pointing the lens at the girl who was waving a fairy wand and happily spinning around against the backdrop of a sky full of burning meteors.
Golden sparks and starlight falling from the sky intertwined and danced around her, as if she herself had transformed into the most dazzling ray of light in this dream.
"I think I saw fireflies among the stars, they're so beautiful."
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 581 Sunday: Why is this crystal losing health on its own?
"Qiongzai, do you still have any sparklers in stock?"
The flamethrower in his hand slowly went out, but Xing's face still lit up with unfinished excitement as he smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction.
"No, this thing is a sparkler, not a Gatling gun. No matter how many you have, they can't withstand you playing with them like this."
Qiong glanced sideways and scoffed, handing out two of the last three fairy wands to Xingbao and Liuying respectively.
"This is the final ripple."
"Oh, okay."
Xing blinked, then turned to look at the firefly beside her, her eyes sparkling with a lively light.
"Together?"
"Ok!"
The fireflies smiled and nodded emphatically, their smiles exceptionally bright and gentle.
"Listen to my command, I'll say one, two, three..."
"Three, two, one."
Qiong gave the first order.
"Hey!"
The protests were drowned out by the crackling sound of the fire.
Beneath the intertwined and swirling meteors in the sky, the fairy wand's flames flowed like a fleeting burst of fiery blossoms.
Sparks, like starlight, burst forth and were reflected in a pair of gentle, clear pink-blue eyes and another pair of pupils that shone like molten gold.
Suddenly, a melodious and ethereal tune, carried by the gradually cooling evening breeze, surged from all directions across the shimmering sky of Pinocchio, gently enveloping the three people on the rooftop.
"singing?"
The sparkler in her hand had just burned to the end. Xing looked up and listened intently.
Who practices Tai Chi?
Having grown accustomed to the abstract, leaping thoughts of the newborn starry sky, even to their subjective embellishments, Firefly automatically ignored the logical connection between Tai Chi and singing that only the star itself could understand, and gently smiled:
Have you heard this song before?
"I think there are very few people in Pinocchio's Dreamland who haven't heard this song."
Qiong leaned against the railing on the rooftop, gazing at the distant city that seemed to connect like a reversed world.
"Save a Heart from Sorrow" broke the Milky Way's album sales record.
"After all, it's the latest work of some big star."
Liu Ying walked to Qiong's side.
A gentle evening breeze stirred, causing the girl's soft, silver hair to flutter slightly, carrying the sweet scent of irises that lightly brushed against Qiong's nose.
"Speaking of which, the opening ceremony of the Harmonious Music Festival is coming up soon, do you want to go watch it together?"
The firefly extended an invitation, its eyes filled with anticipation.
"Tickets for this opening ceremony are expected to be extremely sought after; it's said to be unprecedented."
"Is there anything special about this opening ceremony?"
Xing leaped onto Qiong, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hung herself up for a better view, resting her chin unceremoniously on Qiong's head.
"Because Miss Robin will be appearing on stage as a special guest."
Liu Ying raised her fair, slender index finger with distinct knuckles and explained.
"She will sing this new song at the opening ceremony."
Generally speaking, the people who pay the most attention and are most involved in the family's grand celebration are naturally the locals and family members of Pinocone.
Analogous to Christmas on Earth, in ancient times it was a holiday of great significance only to Christian believers.
As time went by, it gradually became a more universal occasion for celebration.
It only became a worldwide festival over time.
Like the Star Train and the company, only a minority of external guests receive formal invitations to attend.
Most of the visitors are ordinary tourists who come from all over the Milky Way just to join in the fun.
For these people, the Harmony Festival is more like a grand themed party. They will enjoy the festive atmosphere to the fullest, but they may not necessarily understand the rituals, traditions and meanings behind it.
But if you say that the opening ceremony will feature the world-renowned superstar Miss Robin, who will be there to sing a new song, then even ordinary people would go crazy for it.
This is the true value of a global superstar.
"I see, then let's go take a look."
Qiong took out her phone.
"I'll ask the robin for some tickets to the opening ceremony..."
"Remember to give this to everyone on the train!"
Xing nuzzled Qiong's hair with the tip of her chin, adding an instruction.
Firefly: "..."
As expected of Xingqiong, his network of connections is truly extensive!
Qiong's finger slid across the screen, but suddenly she remembered something. When she transformed into Jerry, she noticed that the robin's voice seemed to have some problems.
Will she be able to perform at the opening ceremony?
Just as Qiong opened the chat interface with Robin, before she could even edit a message, a chat bubble popped up on the screen.
[Clear Sky: Sora, did you have fun at Pinocchio?]
Qiong and Xing, who had come over to look, were both taken aback.
[Becoming Jia Ran's Guardian Robin: Wow! A big star messaged me! How honored!]
[Clear Sky: Birds in Shock.jpg]
[Clear Sky: I'll take it as a joke.]
[Clear Sky: But... what's your ID?]
Only then did the robin belatedly notice the change in the dome's nickname.
Who is Jia Ran?
[Becoming Jia Ran's Guardian of the Robin: Is there something wrong with my ID? I'm now Miss Robin's number one fan, dreaming of being a member of the Bird's Nest! After listening to her songs and learning about her gentleness, beauty, elegance, and kindness, how could anyone not like Miss Robin?]
On the other side of the screen, the little bird herself blushed slightly as she watched the barrage of praise delivered from what seemed like a third-person perspective. She even momentarily forgot about the suspicious statement about moving into the Bird's Nest.
Maybe it's a typo?
[Clear Sky: It's not as exaggerated as you say.]
Xing noticed the firefly peeking out and immediately jumped down from the dome, grabbed the firefly, and began enthusiastically explaining the architectural aesthetics of Pinocchio, determined to provide cover for his brother, who was flirting with the bird.
[Becoming Jia Ran's Guardian of the Robin: It's no exaggeration to say that people who don't like robins are in trouble now. I'm a shark who was completely mesmerized by the beauty of Miss Robin!]
[Clear Sky: Huh? Why is it a shark?]
Even if we're using a metaphor, shouldn't we use a mouse?
Mr. Jerry.
[Becoming Jia Ran's guardian of the robin: That's not the point.]
[Clear Sky: What's the key point?]
[Becoming Jia Ran's Guardian Robin: The point is... can you take a picture with me of a stunned shark?]
[Clear Sky: Ah, this...]
As a global superstar, robin, who is used to all kinds of fervent displays of love and can calmly handle any situation, couldn't help but blush a few times on her snow-white cheeks.
She subconsciously turned slightly to the side to block the view of the phone, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding for her brother next to her.
He was probably just joking, right?
The robin's movements were subtle and natural, but Sunday, who had been paying some attention to her sister, still keenly noticed her small, trying-to-hide posture.
"Robin, what's wrong?"
Sunday wore an impeccable, gentle smile and spoke softly.
But his sister's deliberate concealment of her chat content with Qiong was driving him crazy.
He firmly believed that he was not a sister-obsessed brother, but simply doing his duty to protect his sister.
If the robin is the most precious and flawless crystal, then he is the last defensive tower protecting the crystal.
Any scoundrel who tries to get close to the crystal must first get past him, otherwise there is absolutely no chance of getting even a hair's breadth closer to the robin!
Although he now vaguely feels that his crystal seems a bit rebellious.
"The Robin".
On Sunday, she softened her tone and advised, "I know I was a bit emotional before, but whether this is true or not, it has had a huge impact on your acting career and public image."
"As public figures, we must be more cautious. Even the smallest flaw can be magnified infinitely by those with ulterior motives. I don't want to see your years of hard work for your dream go to waste because of such an unwarranted disaster."
"Brother, I understand."
The robin gently touched its chest with its paw, its emerald eyes gleaming with determination.
"But this matter is completely fabricated. Someone is maliciously framing me and Qiong in an attempt to tarnish our innocence."
Despite the family's best efforts to keep the news under wraps on Sunday, Robin still found out that a masked fool had impersonated her and taken intimate photos with Sora.
She naturally wouldn't blame Qiong, who was also a victim of this farce.
"...Sigh, okay."
