The Servants of Cloud Paradise

The fireworks soared to the sky.

Their vibrant colors and patterns filled the dark canvas.

Xia Ling was busy eating her hazelnut cake at first, but seeing the fireworks through the window, she hopped off the swing, grabbed Li Lei's hand, and dashed out. "Look at that!" She hopped excitedly as her dainty finger pointed towards the sky. "It's so beautiful! They look amazing…" The last three words ended in a sigh of admiration.

The burst of colors could be seen reflected off her pretty face.

She looked up at the fireworks as Li Lei looked down at her.

This silly little girl, didn't she know that she looked way more beautiful than the fireworks? Her smile was attractive, her eyes clear and bright, and her eyelashes ever so soft…

Her fingers were locked in his.
