Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze were now living in the capital of the United States, Washington, DC. Most Caribbean cruises departed from the New York Harbor, so they first flew there to board the ship.
Gu Nianzhi was fascinated. "I heard that Professor He had specially ordered Imperial fireworks to be flown in, so maybe we'll see them tomorrow night?"
"You don't see enough of it back home?" Zhao Liangze smirked. "One year on National Day, you kept whining about going to see the fireworks and Mr. Huo actually took you. But then you fell asleep halfway through the show and so he had to carry you all night; we couldn't even pull you off him. You were like a koala, that's how tightly latched onto him you were."
Gu Nianzhi blushed when she recalled the incident and said, "I was young and foolish. Uncle Huo must've been exhausted."
