Chapter 75 Happy New Year

Chen Congyu made an appointment with Zhou Zhou to set off fireworks on New Year's Eve a week in advance.

Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in urban areas of Beijing.

There is a park on the outskirts of the city. The park square is open during the New Year holidays as an exception, and citizens are allowed to set off fireworks there.

Zhou Zhou agreed.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, Zhou Zhou returned to his villa and had dinner with his parents.

The Chinese New Year no longer had the same festive atmosphere as before. After dinner, the family sat in the living room and chatted for a while, and then turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala as usual.

Zhou Zhou was flipping through his phone out of boredom.

Today is New Year's Eve, and WeChat is particularly lively.

There were overwhelming group messages sending blessings, and people who hadn't posted on WeChat Moments for a hundred years suddenly came back to life, and all the friends in the address book came back to life on this day.

But the group, which usually has 999+ messages, suddenly fell silent.

I replied to Yan Yiqi's New Year's greetings, and just as I put down my phone from the lock screen, the screen lit up.

Cheng Yu sent her a picture.

Zhou Zhou thought he was playing outside, so he took a picture to show her. When he opened the dialog box, he suddenly saw a familiar black line picture on a white background.

It is an interior layout diagram.

Zoe: [……]

Which good person doesn’t send blessings and jobs on New Year’s Eve?

But she did forget.

Zhou Zhou always thought that Cheng Yu asked for her design drawings just to trick her into adding him on WeChat. After they reconciled, she never thought about sending him her past design works.

She quickly put it out of her mind, but she didn't expect Cheng Yu to still remember it.

Cheng Yu replied quickly: [I was worried you'd be too bored, so I found something for you to do.]

Zoe: [Thank you, I won’t be moving bricks during the Chinese New Year.]

There was no reply from that end.

Zhou Zhou stared at the dialog box for a while, feeling confused.

Just as I saved the picture, Shen Congyu called and said that he had arrived outside the Yanghu Villa District.

The building she lived in was some distance away from the outside, so she called the security guard.

The security guard confirmed the identity and let me pass.

Zhou Zhou said goodbye to his parents, went upstairs, put on his coat and went out.

When I arrived at the door, it was just in time and Shen Congyu's car was parked at the door.

There was a gentle evening breeze, and a little snow fell today, which melted into the night and was invisible.

The car's headlights were not turned off.

Zhou Zhou stood in front of the car, wearing a cream-colored coat and a matching red scarf. The light shone on her, casting a phantom glow over her.

The tiny snowflakes danced under the light, like a pouring Milky Way, and she was a fairy who accidentally fell from the Milky Way.

Shen Congyu was a little dazed for a moment.

I sat in the car for two seconds before I remembered to say hello to her.

He immediately opened the door and got out of the car with a shy smile on his face: "Happy New Year, Zhou Zhou."

He was a little shy, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, but his eyes were fixed on hers without any averting his gaze, dark, bright and moist like a deer's eyes.

"Happy New Year." Zhou Zhou smiled.

There was another stalemate.

Zhou Zhou looked at the dazed Shen Congyu, tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Aren't you leaving?"

"Ah, let's go." He lowered his eyes, smiled embarrassedly, and opened the back door.

Zhou Zhou looked at him without moving: "You want to be a driver."

"Ah?" Shen Congyu didn't react.

Seeing Zhou Zhou pointing to the back seat, he finally realized what was happening. His face turned slightly red and he scratched his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I made you laugh."

He went to open the passenger door again.

Zhou Zhou's smile deepened: "No, it's quite cute."

She is used to seeing passionate and unrestrained men, so it is rare to see such a reserved one. She still likes him very much.

She is also very pretty and cute.

He was just too simple. Zhou Zhou discovered that when they chatted. He didn't say any sweet words. He would occasionally share some of his life with her, and most of the time he was very positive.

I really can't do it.

When Shen Congyu sat in the driver's seat, his palms were sweating from nervousness.

He subconsciously rubbed his pants before gripping the steering wheel.

After the car drove out of the villa area, he finally sorted out his thoughts and started talking again: "What did you eat tonight?"

"New Year's Eve dinners are not always like that. Fish and chicken feet are standard on the table." Zhou Zhou said, "You should have eaten them too, right?"

"have eaten."

Business people pay great attention to these things. Even if their business is booming, they will still believe in the sayings of having surplus every year and making money.

Chen Congyu added, "There aren't many cars on the road today, so we should be there in an hour. Do you want to listen to some music?"

"It will be all right."

He then asked her whose songs she liked to listen to.

Having gotten rid of the restraint they had when they first met, he relaxed a lot and talked to her all the way.

Chen Congyu reads a wide variety of things and can chat about anything, with almost no dull moments.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the destination.

Unlike the quietness in the city, I saw fireworks soaring into the sky from afar while I was still in the car. They exploded in the sky with a bang, blooming into gorgeous flowers and lighting up the sky.

There are many cars parked at the entrance of the park.

After circling around and not finding a place to park, Shen Congyu wanted to look for one outside, so he asked Zhou Zhou to get off first and wait for him at the door.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

This place is very remote and usually not many people come here.

There were very few lights in the ground parking lot outside the park, and only the entrance to the park was brightly lit, but it couldn't stop the influx of people who wanted to set off fireworks.

Zhou Zhou stood at the door, looking around casually.

My sight stopped when I saw a car in a certain direction. I felt that the car hidden in the night looked very familiar, like Cheng Yu's Evija.

Zhou Zhou looked at it twice more uncertainly, but couldn't tell.

It's quite far away, and there's a row of cars blocking the view in front, so it's not very clear.

She thought she was overthinking it.

There are quite a lot of sports cars parked in the parking lot. You can easily point out several of them, and they look similar in appearance.

Besides, Cheng Yu was lazy wherever he went and had no interest in anything, so how could he have the leisure to come over and set off fireworks?

She looked away.

Shen Congyu quickly parked the car and came back.

Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Zhou Zhou asked him, "Is there anyone selling fireworks in the park?"

"No," he said, "I asked a friend to bring it to me. They're already here."

"Let's go in," he said.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

When he arrived at the square, Zhou Zhou met some of Shen Congyu's friends.

There were both men and women, all very enthusiastic.

The square was bustling with activity, a sea of ​​people. They had been there for quite some time, occupying a small area and setting off for a while.

There were several large boxes piled around him, filled with all kinds of fireworks.

Shen Congyu asked her: "What do you want to play?"

"Anything is fine. I haven't set off fireworks in a long time." Zhou Zhou casually looked through it and found that there are all kinds of fireworks now, and it's hard to tell how to play with them just by looking at them.

She picked up a butterfly-shaped one and asked, "How do you play this?"

Shen Congyu didn't know either. His friend said, "Put it on the ground, light it on fire, and it will fly into the sky."

Another girl said, "It's pretty. It glows around it, like a butterfly."

Zhou Zhou wanted to take a look.

The two of them stood up, and suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Sister Zhou Zhou, you are setting off fireworks here too!"

Zhou Zhou turned her head and saw Pei Shuchen holding a huge sky rocket, grinning at her with his big white teeth and his eyes wide open.

Following him were Chen Yiyang and Zhang Kai.

As if inspired, Zhou Zhou looked behind them and saw a person sitting on the bench under the street light. With a crooked and idle posture, who else could it be but Cheng Yu?

He is really paralyzed everywhere.
