Fireworks Fade Away Easily, But Love Lasts Forever

Calix and Serena were clinking glasses in a restaurant when a warehouse worker suddenly called.

He reported that the fireworks factory exploded.

The roof was on fire, but luckily it was overnight and no workers were injured.

Calix suddenly stood up from his chair, knocking over the bottle of red wine and attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing his reaction, I burst out laughing.

The reason why blue fireworks were expensive was not only because of the high production costs but also because of the harsh storage conditions.

It required special materials with poor stability, so compared to other fireworks, blue fireworks were more difficult to store, were extremely easy to burn, and had certain dangers.

I had advised Calix hundred times that our warehouse was not yet capable of storing blue fireworks.

Large-scale production and storage were bound to cause problems.

Unexpectedly, what I said came true.

As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, he was squinted by the black smoke filling the sky.

Crackling bursts and shouts were endless.

He dealt with the fire on site for three days and three nights before it was finally completely extinguished.

One by one, the firefighters were too tired to stand up straight.

What awaits Calix was a thick stack of loss settlement and compensation issues for surrounding businesses.

The anxious Calix ignored the dozens of calls from Serena and clicked on the chat box to which I still had no reply.

"Daphne, we are husband and wife. If you can help me through this crisis, I will reconsider our marriage."

Still not getting a reply from me, Calix repeatedly typed and deleted his message, then he decided going to our house to find me.

After all, he could not afford that much money alone.

As soon as he got to our house, he could not find me and then, went to my apartment.

Knocking on the door over and over again, but the door in front of him never opened.

Instead, the door of apartment next door was opened a crack and an auntie stopped him from knocking on the door again.

"Stop knocking, there's no one in the house."

"She is dead ... a week ago."

Calix frowned, as if he had heard some joke.

"What nonsense are you talking about! My wife lives in this house! How could I not know if she is dead?"

The auntie also raised her voice. "I recognize the woman next to me. I saw her with my own eyes in the hospital. So, how could I be wrong?"

"And you keep calling her your wife? You don't even know the partner in your life is dead. What a joke!"

"I'm afraid she has already turned into ashes! You can't recognize her even if you want to!"

Hearing the word "ash" come out of the auntie's mouth, Calix seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turns white.

He was breathing heavily, knocking on doors and trying passwords randomly.

A few second later, he successfully opened the door with his birth date.

The darkness in the room made the man's voice even more flustered.

"Daphne, suicide won't stop me, you're starting to play disappear with me again, aren't you?"

He casually turned on the light and stumbled open the door of each room while calling my name.

Calix stopped in my bedroom and opened my bedside table with ease.

There was a safe hidden inside.

The password was known only to me.

After multiple failed attempts, Calix, in a fit of anger, found the toolbox and exerted great force to open the safe.

There was no doubt about the security in my community. I bought a safe for psychological comfort, so the quality was average.

However, what Calix did not expect was, there was only a thin risk notification letter in the cold iron cabinet.

It clearly listed the precautions for producing blue fireworks. I showed it to him repeatedly but he always rejected it.

Seeing how persistent he was, I decided to just turn a blind eye to it and locked it in the cabinet.

Calix held the paper in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead and he sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Daphne, as you wish, the warehouse exploded. So, come out and see my joke."

Only after a long time did he stagger to his feet and open the last room.

There were unforgettable scenes inside that he would never forget.
