Hearing the flower shop owner's words, Xu Mu felt rather helpless.
Come on, don't do this!
Seriously!
Two-thirds of the fireworks were still left.
Xu Mu and Cynthia couldn't stay there watching forever!
So Xu Mu said helplessly to Cynthia:
"Cynthia, you heard him!"
"It's simple!"
"We can't possibly wait here that long!"
Hearing Xu Mu, Cynthia hurriedly nodded.
That's right!
We can't wait that long.
The two exchanged a look.
Xu Mu asked Cynthia:
"Shall we go home?"
Cynthia quickly nodded.
By then, she didn't want to keep watching with Xu Mu either.
After all, they had seen what they came to see.
Staying there to wait any longer...
Wouldn't that make them complete suckers?
Xu Mu looked into Cynthia's eyes and asked her again:
"Do you like it that much?"
Hearing him, Cynthia said at once:
"Then let's go home!"
The two started walking home.
Word was that quite a few poor souls spent the whole night watching fireworks.
If those people had heard that, they would have jumped up on the spot.
And cursed up a storm.
You think I didn't want to sleep?
Those fireworks sounded like cannon fire.
How was anyone supposed to sleep?
But word was that night,
The person behind the whole affair was quite happy.
Whatever else could be said,
The flower shop owner felt happier than he ever had before.
After a little drink, he fell into a deep sleep.
After Xu Mu and Cynthia walked home,
Cynthia said to him:
"Xu Mu!"
"I want some ice cream!"
Hearing her, Xu Mu felt helpless again.
Cynthia's memory was far too good.
She had brought it up while they were eating earlier.
But Xu Mu had told her to finish her meal before having ice cream.
He hadn't expected this!
