Jing Yichen loved it when Shangguan Ning asked for something unreasonable or reckless. He loved that he could fulfill her demands – he was aware of his own ability. He was powerful enough to fill up a hole in the sky,if she ever poked open the heavens.
He caressed her smooth, long hair and asked her to be careful while he passed her the lighter.
Shangguan Ning rolled her eyes at him, lit up a firecracker and threw it away.
The cracker went off with a bang and red paper crumbs flew everywhere.
"This firecracker is meant for children. Its loud but harmless. It won't hurt me! Why don't you give it a try yourself?"
Seeing her having so much fun, Jing Yichen laughed as he took a firecracker and did the same.
The two adults played just like the group of children that were playing earlier. They kept throwing one firecracker after another, totally unaware of their childlike behaviour. Which was a good thing because this time together brought them pure joy.
