"Yes, and wasting water too!"
"Sorry, sorry." Dubian Che hurried to dry his hair.
Once his hair was dry, the five hurried toward the square.
The streets were already deserted.
As they approached the busy square, a synchronized countdown chant suddenly erupted.
"5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Light the fire!"
"Boom—"
Amidst the cheering, a serpent-like bonfire shot into the sky, lighting the surroundings like a small sun.
Countless sparks, like fireflies, danced in the night breeze.
The five quickened their pace and arrived at the square.
Saito Keisuke and his group went to "pick" their dance partners, while Dubian Che searched through the crowd for Jiutiao Meijie.
"Students who want to dance, please come to the center!" the chairman's voice was broadcast to everyone's ears through the speakers.
The atmosphere on the square heated up along with the fiercely burning bonfire.

There was still a little time before the bonfire party.
