When they arrived at the bakery, Ye Jiaqi put Xiaoguai on the ground and went to help the proprietress pay the bill.

The working hours at night are not long and the intensity is not high. It mainly involves doing calculations and inventory counting.

Just as I put down my backpack, my phone rang.

An unknown number.

"Hello."

"It's me." Josnian said, "Are you at the bakery?"

"arrive."

"I forgot to tell you that there will be a fireworks show on Lake Michigan tomorrow night. I will pick you up when you get off work."

"I have no plans to watch the fireworks." Ye Jiaqi knew there was a fireworks show.

"Then you can let your cat accompany me to watch the fireworks. You can't be alone."

"You came to Chicago alone?"

"Yes." Josnian said lightly, "I've been with you once, and you'll be with me once, okay?"

Ye Jiaqi remembered that year, he accompanied her to watch the fireworks.

I was in the country at that time.

"I promise you." Ye Jiaqi's voice was soft.

After hanging up the phone, the landlady asked with concern: "Good day, are you in love?"

"Ah? No, a friend."

"Do you want to watch the fireworks? Go, it's beautiful, you won't regret it. You just came here, this is the first one and the best one every year."

"Then Aunt Cai, I won't come to the store tomorrow night."

"Okay, it's okay. You can't just go to class and work part-time all the time. It's hard to get to a foreign country and you still have to see the scenery."

"Thank you Aunt Cai."

The little boy on the sofa said "meow".

Ye Jiaqi glanced at it and said with a smile, "I won't take you with me."

There will definitely be a lot of people tomorrow. If she takes Xiaoguai there, she will lose him.

If she lost it, she would be heartbroken.

Xiaoguai seemed to understand Ye Jiaqi's words, lowered his head and let out an unhappy "meow".

Hate.

…

Josnian arrived as promised the next day.

When he got off work, it was already dark, and his Mercedes-Benz was parked across the road, motionless.

Ye Jiaqi got in the car and opened the passenger door.

Josnian drove her himself and took her to the shores of Lake Michigan.

The night falls outside the window, and the lanterns are turned on, and the bright lights shine on the ground, like long dragons.

The bustling city is extravagant at night, full of lights and feasting.

"Let's have a meal first, and then I'll drive there," Josnian said.

"Um."

Ye Jiaqi saw that he was dressed casually today, wearing a khaki coat and jacket, which was fashionable and simple, not quite like the strict Mr. Qiao.

"Are you coming to Chicago for a meeting? Or on vacation?" Ye Jiaqi couldn't help but ask.

"Dating."

"date?"

"Um."

Ye Jiaqi moved his lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Josnian took her to an exquisite Michelin restaurant. After the meal, he walked with her to the lakeside.

There was no wind at night and the weather was pleasant, perfect for watching fireworks.

Ye Jiaqi walked beside him and looked up at him, only to realize that the boy back then was no longer what he was before.

He is more mature and more charming than before.

A thirty-year-old man has changed a lot compared to a twenty-two-year-old man.

Josnian is no exception.

He stood beside her, still as calm as a mountain.

He was never a talkative person, and he still is today.

Eight years ago, she might not have thought that the same person would be watching the fireworks with her eight years later.

Ye Jiaqi's heart suddenly surged with thousands of emotions.
