A week before the New Year, Shi Huai followed Yu Hui back to Guangnan.

Xiao Zhizhi was young, and as soon as she saw her dearest grandparents, she completely forgot about the person in Changjing.

Shi Huai followed his grandfather around every day, often going to Buque Sect to learn copying ancient paintings and calligraphy and Chinese painting. Sometimes he would go to Lang's house to play with the brothers Lang Shuxuan and Lang Jingxuan, and his days were fulfilling.

Shi Langyue saw that Shi Huai was still pitifully thin, so she made different kinds of delicious food for him every day.

She used to hate children eating snacks, but now she doesn't restrict Shi Huai's pocket money. She takes change from her wallet every day and gives it to Shi Huai so that she can buy more delicious food at the supermarket or convenience store.

On New Year's Eve, Shi Huai did not have the habit of staying up all night. He went to bed early as usual.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Shi Huai heard in a daze the ringing of Zhou Jibai's watch on his hand.

She opened her sleepy eyes and subconsciously clicked to answer the call.

"Hello?"

Zhou Jibai's cold voice came from the receiver, "You even answered a scam call."

Shi Huai didn't recognize Zhou Jibai's voice at first. When he heard it was a scam call, he hung up without saying a word. He turned over and continued to sleep.

Zhou Jibai, who was far away in Changjing: "..."

Zhou Jibai laughed in anger.

The awareness of anti-fraud is quite high.

…

The next day, Shi Huai got up early.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw my grandparents already sitting at the dining table with hot dumplings on it.

Shi Huai asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your dad took a phone call and went out."

"oh."

As soon as Shi Huai sat down at the dining table, Li Huaisheng and Shi Langyue each took out a red envelope and handed it to Shi Huai.

"Zhizhi, Happy New Year." The two said almost in unison.

"Thank you, grandma! Thank you, grandpa!" Shi Huai took the red envelope without hesitation, then stood up and gave each of them a big hug and a kiss on the cheek in turn.

Three people were sitting at the dining table eating dumplings. None of them were talkative, so the atmosphere was inevitably a little quiet.

It wasn't until Yu Hui opened the door and heard the sound that Shi Huai turned around and looked towards the door. He was the first to blurt out two words: "Dad!"

Unexpectedly, the first person who caught his eye was Zhou Jibai.

Shi Huai blinked twice, obviously stunned, "Brother Ji Bai?"

Zhou Jibai raised a polite smile at the corner of his lips and greeted the elder in front of him first.

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."

Before leaving, Yu Hui greeted Li Huaisheng and Shi Langyue in advance. A student came to Guangnan to celebrate the New Year, and he went to receive him.

Li Huaisheng and Shi Langyue also responded with a polite smile: "Hello, little friend."

I originally thought he was a college student, but he turned out to be a young boy who looked like a junior high school student.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Zhou Jibai, who had eaten the meal on the plane, said: "No."

"Would you like to sit down and eat dumplings together?"

"Thank you for your help."

Zhou Jibai sat next to Shi Huai.

Unexpectedly, his good friend in Changjing suddenly appeared in front of him. Shi Huai couldn't hide his happiness and couldn't help but sneak a peek at Zhou Jibai while eating dumplings.

Zhou Jibai's expression didn't change at all, he ate the dumplings on the plate politely.

He ate very quickly. Before Zhizhi had finished half of the dumplings on her plate, Zhou Jibai's was already empty.

Shi Huai bit her lip, fearing that Zhou Jibai would leave after finishing the dumplings. Her small hands carefully pulled the hem of Zhou Jibai's clothes under the table.

"Brother, wait for me." Her voice was so soft that it sounded like a kitten begging coquettishly.

Zhou Jibai glanced at the jade-white little hand that was holding onto his clothes and was reluctant to let go. He still didn't say anything, but he didn't make any move to leave either.

"Zhizhi, eat your meal obediently. Don't disturb your brother." Shi Langyue reminded her.

Shi Huai replied weakly: "Okay..."

Shi Huai didn't say anything, but took a bite of the dumpling and glanced at Zhou Jibai, afraid that he would run away.

When there were only two dumplings left on the plate, Shi Huai patted his belly with satisfaction and said, "I can't eat any more."

Li Huaisheng smiled and said, "Let's go out and play."

So Shi Huai looked at Zhou Jibai eagerly, "Brother Jibai, are you going back to Changjing?"

Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes to look at the doll-like face that was looking up at him, "You want me to go back?"

Shi Huai immediately shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Then I won't go back."

Last night, when Zhou Jibai called Shi Huai, he wanted to wish her a happy new year.

I didn't expect that this heartless guy had already forgotten about me as much as he did in the Pacific Ocean.

He hadn't wanted to care about it at first, thinking if he didn't remember, then forget it. He didn't care about this little rascal anyway. But after tossing and turning on New Year's Eve, he suddenly had a brain attack and booked the earliest flight to Guangnan.

Before leaving, he told grandma and came over.

Shi Huai and Zhou Jibai went out together.

Zhou Jibai deliberately slowed down his pace and walked side by side with the short-legged boy.

Shi Huai saw that Zhou Jibai seemed to have endless things to say.

For example, what have you done and learned in Guangnan recently.

Zhou Jibai's answer was as indifferent as ever, and "hmm" was the sound he uttered most often.

Shi Huai asked again: "What about you?"

"Um?"

"What do you do in Changjingdu?"

Zhou Jibai: "Playing games."

"Besides playing games?"

Zhou Jibai: "Sleep and eat."

Shi Huai: “…”

"All right……"

She lowered her head, looking lost.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and then Shi Huai said slowly: "Don't you miss me a little bit?"

Hearing Shi Huai's soft and unconfident words, Zhou Jibai suddenly laughed out loud.

Shi Huai frowned delicately: "What are you laughing at?"

"Miss me, why don't you call me?" Zhou Jibai reached out and tapped the phone watch on his wrist, which was the same model as Shi Huai's.

When the phone was mentioned, Shi Huai suddenly thought of a call that came suddenly at night.

The little girl's mind was always full of thoughts. "Oh right! Last night when I was asleep, a scam call came in! I hung up!"

The little girl looked at Zhou Jibai with a smug look on her face, and her arrogant expression was full of the three words "please praise me".

Zhou Jibai laughed out loud: "Did I ever tell you that my phone number is the only one saved in your watch?"

Shi Huai nodded blankly.

After a pause, she finally reacted.

"Were you the one who called me last night!?"

Zhou Jibai raised his left eyebrow slightly and said nothing.

Shi Huai's eyes were full of surprise: "But you told me that you were a scam call."

"Tsk." Zhou Jibai stretched out his finger and lightly flicked Shi Huai's forehead. "You believe everything I say?"

Shi Huai hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Brother is good to me, I believe everything you say."

Zhou Jibai's lips curled up inadvertently, "Idiot."

"I'm not stupid!"

Zhou Jibai pursed his lips: "I don't think you are that smart."

Shi Huai:!!!

The two began to stroll on the street again. Zhou Jibai walked in a normal way, and Shi Huai could only speed up his pace to follow him.

"Then you must promise not to lie to me again."

"knew."

"You swear."
