"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Outside, a series of heavy knocks resounded.
The New Year countdown had begun.
Lian Xinying snuggled entirely into Yan Ye's arms, eagerly watching another round of beautiful fireworks outside the window.
These beautiful and dazzling fireworks were just like a dream.
With the final 'boom', deafening firecracker noises erupted outside.
Xiaocheng was startled awake.
Upon waking, he began to cry loudly.
Lian Xinying, who had been nestled in Yan Ye's arms, heard her son's cries and looked over... only to realize they had inadvertently left their son feeling a bit isolated and pitiful.
"Son! It's New Year's! Don't cry!" Lian Xinying moved towards Xiaocheng, bringing him a bit closer to embrace him.
In the midst of his tears, Xiaocheng saw his mom and dad and suddenly stopped crying.
"Outside they are setting off firecrackers! Because it's New Year's!" After wiping the tears from her son's face, the little guy heaved a big sigh.
He was calming his emotions.
