Half an Orange - Chapter 54: Fireworks of Confession

As winter drew to a close, they welcomed their winter break and the Spring Festival.
Gu Yincheng is about to return to school early for the last semester, or more precisely, the last three months. They will be under a fully enclosed management system, with all students living in dormitories and unable to go home.
I only have time to get my phone on Saturday nights to notify my family to bring the necessary items over on Sunday noon.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Gu Yincheng cooked glutinous rice balls. This was the third Lantern Festival they had spent together.
White glutinous rice balls floated in the brown sugar water, along with some loose fermented rice.
He chuckled softly as Xia Yan's spoon fell to the ground.
"Among these glutinous rice balls, there's one with a special flavor. I wonder if you or I will get to eat it?"
Xia Yan paused, looked up at him, and asked, "What will happen if I eat it?"
"If you get to eat it, come with me to a place."
Xia Yan pouted, "What if you got to eat it?"
Gu Yincheng's eyes flashed. "Then I'll take you somewhere."
Xia Yan smiled too, "After all that, we're going out soon."
"Yes, sister, wear something warmer later."
When Xia Yan ate the third one, she finally showed a strange expression, and her chewing movements gradually slowed down.
She got to eat that special-flavored glutinous rice ball.
Gu Yincheng looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, "Although the taste of durian is a bit strange, it's not too bad for you, so I dared to put it in."
It turned out that he had secretly put a durian-flavored glutinous rice ball into the pile of sesame glutinous rice balls.
Xia Yan glared at him reproachfully, "Hurry up and eat, then we'll leave."
Xia Yan drove, and Gu Yincheng gave her directions; they were heading to the outskirts of the city.
In the suburbs of Chianan, there are large demonstration areas for new rice varieties. In winter, the rice fields are empty, with only withered and yellowed branches remaining, desolate and cold.
They parked their car on a half-finished road in the rice paddies. At that moment, Gu Yincheng took a bunch of fireworks out of the trunk.
It turned out that he wanted to take her to see fireworks.
Fireworks and firecrackers are banned in Chianan City, so this place has become a popular spot for people to set them off.
"We used to watch others set them off, but today we'll set them off ourselves." Gu Yincheng handed her the fireworks he was holding.
"But I don't dare to put it down," Xia Yan said helplessly as she took it.
"Sister, watch over it, I'll put it in for you."
He smiled, reached out a hand, and patted her head.
They chose a quiet, open space at the end of the highway, arranged the fireworks in a row, and fixed them in place.
Gu Yincheng bent over slightly, lit the row of fireworks, and then, amidst a loud boom, quickly ran back to Xia Yan's side.
Xia Yan opened her arms to welcome him, and he embraced her tightly.
It was Chinese New Year, and both of them were wearing bright red down jackets. Gu Yincheng's was a short one, while Xia Yan's was knee-length.
The moment he embraced her, a deafening roar echoed through the night sky, and clusters of fireworks rose and bloomed in the air.
The multicolored tail flames suddenly spread out, falling like rain from the dark night sky and illuminating the entire night.
Xia Yan looked up and exclaimed in amazement at the fireworks display overhead.
This was a fireworks display he gave to her.
Gu Yincheng looked at her face illuminated by the fireworks, her surprised expression, and the dazzling fireworks in her eyes.
His heart softened again and again, and he couldn't help but lower his head and whisper in her ear.
"Xia Yan, I love you."
His voice was very soft, barely audible compared to the booming sound of the fireworks, but he knew Xia Yan had heard him.
Her body trembled slightly, but she remained staring at the fireworks filling the sky, offering no response.
Gu Yincheng knew he wouldn't get a reply from her, but he still kissed her forehead.
In her previous life, she loved him silently for so long. This time, it was his turn to wait for her, so that she would no longer have to endure the loneliness and heartache of waiting alone.
One day, he will finally wait until she opens her whole heart to him.
The moment the warm, moist lips and tongue lingered on her forehead, Xia Yan's eyes stung, but she still managed to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.
The nails dug deeper and deeper into my palm, even leaving tiny marks, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional pain.
She didn't know how long his feelings could last.
When he gets older and more mature, will he regret everything he did? And what will she do then?
This was a relationship destined to end.
The fourth day after Gu Yincheng returned to school was Valentine's Day that year, which was also a Saturday.
Zhou Kai had prepared a gift for Zhao Yingge in advance and secretly placed it in her drawer early in the morning.
Their relationship was already semi-public in the eyes of their classmates and teachers.
The college entrance examination is fast approaching, and to avoid the backlash from excessive control, teachers will turn a blind eye as long as it doesn't affect studies and students don't get too close to each other at school.
Zhao Yingge didn't dare to open the gift in the classroom. She stuffed it into a bag and planned to take it back to her dormitory to open it, but it still caused a small commotion in the rows in front and behind her.
During the break, Zhou Kai asked Gu Yincheng with a smile, "That person I mentioned last time, are you still together?"
Gu Yincheng merely raised the corners of his lips without speaking, but Zhou Kai understood.
"Goodness, you kept it a secret really well." Zhou Kai reached out and punched him. "What are you going to do if you can't go out on Valentine's Day? Or is she actually from our school...?"
The bell rang for class, and Zhou Kai stopped himself from speaking, touched his nose, and looked at the podium in front of him.
This class happened to be an English class, and Gu Yincheng had actually prepared a gift for Xia Yan, but he wanted to find an opportunity to give it to her secretly.
He was stunned when the teacher stood on the podium.
They got a new English teacher this semester; Xia Yan is no longer their teacher.
Zhou Kai whispered to him, "Wow, our class got the grade leader position."
“Then Xia Yan…”
"You didn't know? She was sent to teach at a county high school this semester."
Gu Yincheng's fingertips began to feel cold, and the chill slowly seeped into his body, spreading as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Even Zhou Kai knew about it, but he knew nothing about it; Xia Yan had planned to keep it from him from the very beginning.
Gu Yincheng's mind went blank, as if the fireworks from the Lantern Festival were ringing in his ears.
That night, Xia Yan clearly heard his confession, but she didn't say anything.
She kept looking up at the magnificent fireworks, and he held her hand tightly beside her. What was she thinking at that moment?
Was she already planning to completely sever ties with him at that moment?
Was she assigned to this teaching assignment, or did she apply for it herself?
He recalled her deliberate aloofness in the days leading up to the first snow.
So, were those later nights of passion and infatuation her final act of pity for him?
