Chapter 248: 248: Textile Completion, Chasing Wife in Ice and Snow (7 updates)
Jiang Zhi was always good at acting charming, especially when she wanted to be coddled and cared for: “Shall we go home? You can apply medicine for me then.”
He was doing it on purpose, using both the suffering strategy and the beauty strategy.
Zhou Xufang sighed and suppressed her anger, “Alright.” The blood in her eyes slowly faded.
The child’s parents were setting off fireworks in an empty part of the square. Zhou Xufang looked around, no one noticed her, she took a coin from her pocket, aimed at the ongoing fireworks, found the right angle, avoided the crowd, and ensured it wouldn’t harm the innocent before she threw the coin.
Bang!
The fireworks fell over, but the base was made heavy, not shooting randomly, and accurately shot onto an unoccupied car.
The family of three who were setting the fireworks didn’t dare to approach, hurriedly hiding, could only watch as the fireworks continually hit the car windows.
Sure enough, not long after, the owner of the car came shouting over.
Zhou Xufang took out her phone and made a call: “I want to report.” Her tone was serious and strict, “This is People’s Square, there are people illegally setting off fireworks.”
Right across from her, there was a banner, the banner with red background and black letters read two sentences: “Imperial City is my home, community compliance is up to us all!” The report number was 011100********.
Note: In public areas, it is strictly forbidden to set off fireworks.
You’re asking if it’s okay in private areas?
Of course, it’s not! Below is an example of significant damage caused by fireworks within a private residence to show you.
Jiang Family had a tradition of staying up on New Year’s Eve, and it was almost midnight, with lights brightly lit all around the house.
Jiang Wei’er hadn’t slept, on such lively nights, she always found it easy to think of people from the past lying in bed, staring at the light, her eyes soon became sore.
Outside the door, a servant called her, “Fifth Miss.”
Jiang Wei’er closed her eyes, feeling a burning sensation: “What’s up?”
“Third Young Master from the Xue Family is here.”
She glanced at the old wall clock, fifteen minutes to the New Year, “Tell him I’ve gone to sleep.”
“Wei’er, I heard it all,” came the voice of Xue Bingxue, low and weak, carrying a hint of grievance.
Jiang Wei’er: “…”
Ever since that guy daringly kissed her, he’s been getting bolder, not sure where he learned it from, acting like he’s in his rebellious phase, rebellious to the bone.
Jiang Wei’er felt a bit annoyed, she grabbed her hair and went to open the door, not sounding very pleasant: “It’s so late, why aren’t you at home celebrating the New Year, why come to my place?”
Xue Bingxue’s skin was delicate, reddened by the wind, appeared somewhat foolish: “Came to set off fireworks for you.” He said, “Your older brother said you like them.”
Jiang Wei’er was speechless with her straight brother: “That was when I was eight, I’m twenty-eight now.”
Hearing this, Xue Bingxue seemed particularly defeated, his youthful baby-face looking harmlessly pitiful.
Jiang Wei’er felt a bit sorry: “Did you bring it?”
He immediately looked up, eyes shining: “Mmm.”
So annoying! Jiang Wei’er went in to get a coat: “Since you brought them, let’s just set them off.”
The Jiang Mansion was large, the old lady had not yet gone to sleep, worried about disturbing others, Jiang Wei’er led Xue Bingxue to the spacious backyard.
He carried the fireworks with both hands and stopped, then said to Jiang Wei’er: “Wei’er, wait here, I’ll go light them.”
Jiang Wei’er acknowledged with “Mmm.”
Xue Bingxue, cautious of harming people, specially moved to a distant place in the backyard to set them off, far away and lacking street lamps, Jiang Wei’er couldn’t see what was happening and after a long while, she heard no noise.
She asked, “Did you light it?”
Xue Bingxue replied, “Not yet.”
After a while, still no noise.
Jiang Wei’er didn’t know what he was up to, it was just lighting a firework, so slow: “Did you light it?”
Xue Bingxue: “No.”
Another moment passed.
“Did you light it or not?”
His voice was very soft: “Almost there.”
Oh right, Xue Bingxue had been timid since he was small, like a delicate white flower, frightened by countless things, when she threw a worm into his backpack at the age of eight, it made him cry.
No wonder Xue Baoyi always said he was foolishly sweet.
“Are you scared? Let me do it.”
“…Not scared,” his voice grew louder, “Don’t come here.”
Fine, she didn’t care anymore, let’s see how long he could fuss, she crossed her arms and waited.
Half a minute passed, suddenly, there was the sound of fireworks exploding, one after another.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Jiang Wei’er heard dozens of noises, but didn’t see a single firework in the sky, and when the noise stopped, Xue Bingxue finally came back, looking defeated, head hung low like an ostrich that had done something wrong.
“Finished?”
Xue Bingxue: “Mmm.”
Jiang Wei’er was puzzled: “Where did you put them? I didn’t see them.” She only heard the sounds, didn’t see any sparks.
Xue Bingxue raised her head for a glance, then lowered it again, explaining with little confidence, “I tripped over the rope that was tying the fireworks together. It fell over.”
Jiang Wei’er: “And then?”
He was extremely embarrassed, “They all shot up into the tree.”
“…”
It was hard to say what to think of him.
Jiang Wei’er held back a laugh and asked seriously, “Which tree?”
Xue Bingxue looked flustered and a bit panicked, “The arhat pine.”
“…”
Of all the trees, it had to be that one—the one the old lady planted by hand over a decade ago.
There was no escaping a scolding now.
Jiang Wei’er couldn’t laugh anymore, “That’s pretty accurate, hitting my grandmother’s prized possession in one go.”
Xue Bingxue: “…” He apologized, “I’m sorry.”
If apologies worked, there would be no need for scolding.
Seeing him hang his head in guilt, it was hard to chastise him, “It didn’t get damaged, did it?”
Xue Bingxue, feeling cared for, was a bit happy, “No.”
“Well,” Jiang Wei’er suggested, “let’s not set off fireworks in the future, they can be quite destructive.”
Xue Bingxue: “Oh.”
Finally, let’s shout together, “Imperial City is our home, banning firecrackers depends on us all!”
When Zhou Xufang and Jiang Zhi got home from the square, it was almost midnight. Jiang Zhi refused to go to the hospital, so Zhou Xufang had to treat his wound with a first-aid kit at home.
What was originally a blister the size of a fingernail now looked even worse.
Burns are the most painful, and Zhou Xufang, heart aching and barely daring to press, couldn’t manage to apply the medicine on the Q-tip to the wound, “Does it hurt a lot?”
The person who was acting spoiled and crying in pain at the square was now acting tough, holding Zhou Xufang’s hand and applying the medicine himself, “Not much.”
Liar.
Zhou Xufang held his hand and blew on it, admonishing him, “Why did you go and pull me? It’s not a big deal if I get hurt.”
“Why wouldn’t it be a big deal?”
She pouted her lips and blew on the wound, “I heal quickly.”
It does heal fast, but the pain is intense.
“So just because you heal quickly means you can get hurt?” Jiang Zhi rubbed her head, “What flawed logic.”
At that moment, the sound of the New Year’s bells rang out from the distance at the square. After the stroke of midnight, there were burst after burst of firecracker sounds outside.
“Zhou Xufang,” Jiang Zhi looked at her, his eyes full of her reflection. He said, “Happy New Year.”
Zhou Xufang’s brow, which had been furrowed, relaxed and she smiled back, “Happy New Year.”
He pulled her from the couch opposite him to his side, “Got any New Year’s resolutions?”
“I have one.”
“I would pluck the stars from the sky for you.”
His eyes twinkled with stars and peach blossoms as he smiled, bright and beautiful.
“I don’t want the stars.” She said, “I just wish for your life to be smoother, without injuries or illnesses.” That had always been her only wish, hoping her Jiang Zhi would be healthy and live a long life.
Jiang Zhi held her face and kissed her.
“Fang Bao.”
“Hmm?”
The light above was shining in his eyes, making them brilliantly bright. His voice was low, with a hint of laughter, “Did you throw away those two boxes we bought last time at the supermarket for fun?”
Zhou Xufang didn’t remember, “What boxes?”
Jiang Zhi whispered in her ear.
“…No.”
“Where did you put them?”
His voice was mesmerizing, as if casting a spell, full of hooks that ensnared her.
Zhou Xufang, like a turtle retracting into its shell, buried her neck into her collar and slowly said, “Under the cabinet beneath the sink.”
He lifted her face, “I don’t want you to become a mother yet. How about we wait a bit longer to have kids?”
Zhou Xufang nodded, agreeing.
Jiang Zhi carried her towards the bathroom.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, it started to snow lightly.

Jiang Zhi woke up very early, and as soon as his feet touched the floor, Zhou Xufang woke up as well, reaching out groggily for his pajamas: “Jiang Zhi…”
Jiang Zhi returned her hand to the blanket and tucked it in tight, “It’s still early, go back to sleep for a bit longer.”
