New day

Li Xiqing took one box out from the paper bag, and started to unwrap the plastic wrapper around it.

"Let's go over that side, it is less crowded there."

Shao Yan nodded and walked with him to a corner. She watched carefully as he lit the sparkles and then gradually she heard a hiss of sound when it was lit up. He handed one to Shao Yan who took it with both of her hands and then said excitedly, "I can't remember when the last time I played with this thing was!" She exclaimed, "This surely brings back childhood memories," and then she grinned cheekily at Li Xiqing.

He raised his index finger and tapped on the tips of her nose, causing her to giggle louder.

When some other people also saw them playing around happily, they went back inside the hall to grab their own sparkles from their souvenir bags. Soon, almost everyone who were standing outside were waving the brightly lit up sticks happily.
