The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 152 Fireworks Fade, Roses Forever

After dinner, Lin Shuang and Xia Yubing stepped out onto the restaurant’s terrace to enjoy some dessert.

The view from the terrace was more expansive, with Hai City’s neon skyline strikingly filling Lin Shuang’s field of vision.

"Would you like this kind of life, husband?"

Xia Yubing’s voice was sweet but not cloying, much like the ice cream cake in Lin Shuang’s hand.

Tasting the smooth and fine texture of the small cake, Lin Shuang replied, "I’m pretty go-with-the-flow... As long as I’m with the people around me, anything is good."

He leaned back in his chair, lazily gazing at the light-polluted night sky.

"A place like this... Might make one miss their hometown after staying for too long? Can’t even see a star when looking up here, but if I really went back to the countryside of my hometown, I’m afraid I would start yearning for the big city..."

Xia Yubing laughed as well, "Just like those two designers, they thought the big city was too stressful, so they wanted to try life in our small Huai City."

Lin Shuang spread his hands, "That’s the dilemma of the ’sieged city,’ those inside want to escape, while those outside want to rush in."

Xia Yubing gently sipped her tea, "That’s easy to deal with, I’ll buy a building here in Hai City for my husband to set up a company, and then buy some land in my husband’s countryside. Wherever my husband wants to go, I’ll be with him."

Lin Shuang smiled, "Am I going to attend a meeting today, and then go home to farm the land tomorrow? Yubing, do you know how to farm? When I was young, I used to help my family plant rice seedlings and let out pigs!"

"If my husband likes it, Yubing can become anything you want, you know? It’s also not impossible for me to farm and raise pigs with my husband."

"Alright, alright, when we’re old, we’ll go back and raise pigs together..."

Lin Shuang caressed Xia Yubing’s hand for a while, "Speaking of which, I often played with the pigs at home when I was a kid, lying on them to do my homework every day. I cried my eyes out when they took those pigs away to sell."

Xia Yubing asked curiously, "How long did my husband cry?"

"I stopped when we had meat for dinner that night, it was so delicious that I immediately stopped crying."

Both of them laughed.

In the gentle evening breeze, they chatted about light-hearted topics with ease.

Just as the fireworks began to rise, Lin Shuang and Xia Yubing, leaning on his shoulder, talked about amusing incidents from his childhood.

A grand firework blossomed overhead, sending a shower of multicolored splendor.

Lin Shuang took a few seconds to ponder whether this was an impromptu firework display or the handiwork of Miss Xia Yubing.

The next firework rose into the air, forming the character "Yubing" in the skyline of Hai City.

Then came a heart shape.

Naturally, the character "Shuang" followed.

Lin Shuang heard raucous cheers and exclamations from afar.

In fact, he himself felt like it was his first time seeing fireworks, as he exclaimed in wonder.

"Ah... with such an extravagant display, I’m really going to fall for it."

The fireworks continued, one after another, blooming and reflecting in Xia Yubing’s eyes.

"Hehe, is it romantic, husband?"

While speaking, she took a box out of her small bag.

Upon opening it, a delicate crystal ball was revealed.

Lin Shuang clutched his chest, like a young girl, "...I almost thought you were going to pull out a ring and propose to me!"

Have our roles reversed?!

"Hmph~ Proposing is definitely something my husband should do."

Xia Yubing handed him the crystal ball, "Remember tonight, oh husband. When you propose to me, it must be even more romantic than tonight, okay~"

"It’s unforgettable... To be more romantic than this, I’ll try my best."

Lin Shuang laughed and accepted the crystal ball; the fireworks still unfolded in a relentless display, spreading like a sea of flowers across the sky.

Inside the crystal ball, there was also a flower, a carefully tended rose.

"Is this... the rose I gave you that day?"

"Oh yeah~ The first rose that hubby gave me, I made it into an Eternal Flower~"

Yubing held Lin Shuang’s hand, pressing it on the crystal ball, "This way, we can keep this rose forever, and I can always be with hubby, right?"

Lin Shuang gripped her hand tightly, "I don’t like to use words like ’forever’ which seem somewhat vague and elusive, but for the rest of our lives, we’ll definitely have each other..."

"Hmph~ Just having hubby’s words is enough for me."

Yubing, giggling, put away the crystal ball with the Eternal Rose.

"So it wasn’t a gift for me after all!"

"It’s just for hubby to take a look; I’m going to keep it safe and treasured."

The fireworks continued.

After stowing away the Eternal Flower, Yubing simply snuggled into Lin Shuang’s embrace, lying on his chest to watch the fireworks.

After Yubing dismissed the restaurant waiters, they too were outside watching the fireworks.

At this moment, along the riverbank of Hai City, there were many others witnessing this sudden display of fireworks.

For example, Yu Zhishui in her hotel room.

The Garden Hotel was tall enough to overlook the row of shops by the riverbank and see the fireworks.

When the first firework burst into the sky, she fumbled for her cellphone and messaged Lin Shuang in a flurry.

"Lin Shuang! Quick, look outside, there are fireworks, it’s so rare to see fireworks in Hai City!"

Right after she sent the message, she saw the words formed by the fireworks in the sky: "Yu," a "heart," and "Shuang."

This silly idol’s mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a chicken egg.

What does this mean? Is it a confession of love?

Even in TV dramas, she had never seen such a romantic scene!

Or is it that they are actually filming a TV drama outside?

"Lin Shuang! Come out and see the fireworks! It seems like someone is making a confession of love! Does this count as love?"

However, Lin Shuang had his phone on silent, wanting to spend the evening focused on Yubing.

After the fireworks ended, Yubing took Lin Shuang for a walk along the riverbank.

When they reached the river, many people were still looking up, seemingly reminiscing about the fireworks show.

"Is it over?"

"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a long fireworks display in Hai City..."

"Did you guys just see the confession words? So romantic!"

"I saw it! Such big letters in the sky, probably witnessed by tens of thousands of people..."

"It seems like it was a confession between a boy whose name has ’Yu’ and a girl whose name has ’Shuang’..."

"Such a grand confession... They must be together now, right?"

"Where are the people involved~"

"It must be a Prince and Princess pairing!"

There were also girls nudging their boyfriends, pointing to the night sky, "I want that too! I want this too!"

Make one for me too!

Yubing, with her arm around Lin Shuang’s shoulders, leaning on him, smiled as she listened to the people’s discussions.

She whispered, "This way, we’re also receiving everyone’s blessings~"

Lin Shuang laughed, "Yubing, you’ve set the bar too high for me~ What do I have to do to be more romantic than you~"

"Hubby, if you just wave a glow stick at me, I’ll find it very romantic and obediently follow you, okay?"

The two, hand in hand, walked past the crowd still savoring the fireworks, leisurely heading back to the hotel.

Fireworks may fade, but two hearts pressed together will keep each other warm for a very, very long time.
