Chapter 239

Hello 2025

Ji Yingge's face appeared in the camera. She smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong, Xiao Qingyuan?"

Jiang Yuan looked at her environment and asked in surprise: "Little Yellow Warbler? You're at home on New Year's Eve?"

"Yeah, I'm reviewing."

The final exam of Hudu University is one week later than that of Nanhai University.

The white-haired girl was wearing winter pajamas, curled up on the single sofa in the living room, with a book on management next to her.

The little feet were stretched out in the solid wooden firebox, covered by a small quilt.

The mansion is actually equipped with floor heating, but her hands and feet are always cold in winter, so it would be more comfortable to warm herself by the fire.

Lin Senmu's face squeezed into the camera, and he was also surprised and said: "No way, you missed one night to review? You didn't go out with your friends on New Year's Eve?"

"No~"

Ji Yingge had dimples on her cheeks, but she held back and didn't want to tell Lin Senmu that there were two green grass debris on the top of his head.

"Didn't your friends at Shanghai University invite you out?"

Jiang Yuan asked with confusion, "I called you on video because I wanted to see what you and your friends were playing over there!"

"Well... they made an appointment with me, but I-I had to review so I didn't go..."

Ji Yingge's eyes were a little evasive and her words were vague.

"lie!"

Lin Senmu saw through it at a glance.

Jiang Yuan frowned and lectured in a sisterly tone, "Sister Yingying, you've been in the new school for two months. Haven't you made any friends?"

"Yes, I do...I even have a boyfriend..."

Ji Yingge was so busy trying to make excuses that she didn't even notice being addressed as "Sister Yingying" and was even "creating a boyfriend out of nothing".

Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "You already have a boyfriend, and you're still home alone today?"

"Where's your boyfriend?"

Lin Senmu is a down-to-earth person who likes to get to the bottom of things.

"He, he... is busy?"

Ji Yingge found herself at a loss as to how to cover up her lie.

Just quietly switch the camera to the other side to avoid being discovered and feeling guilty.

"Little Yellow Warbler, why are you hiding? The camera is facing you."

The tone of Jiang Yuan's voice brought out the attribute of "sister" to the fullest.

Ji Yingge obediently switched the camera back to herself.

She said with a sad face, "I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't have any friends. I know you care about me, but..."

Jiang Yuan called me an idiot. "You were lying to me about eating apples on Christmas Eve, right? And you were lying about receiving gifts on Christmas, right?"

"I'm sorry, little Qingyuan."

Noticing that Jiang Yuan's tone was a little angry, Ji Yingge hurriedly admitted her mistake.

Jiang Yuan wanted to get angry because her good sister actually lied to her, but when she saw Ji Yingge's pitiful appearance in the camera, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

She said gently, "Next New Year's Eve, Sen Sen and I will come to accompany you."

"Really?"

In an instant, Ji Yingge's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Yuan pointed her phone at the venue and slowly rotated the camera, "Little Yellow Oriole, Sen Sen, Nie Hao and I are celebrating the New Year at Cuilv Garden tonight. We can release Kongming lanterns here."

Nie Hao had just come back from smoking. When he was called, he smiled and said, "Hi, Ji Yingge, long time no see."

"Nie Hao, long time no see."

Ji Yingge greeted them, then looked at the lively atmosphere over there with her good friend, her little face revealing a look of longing as she imagined how great it would be if she were there too.

Lin Senmu patted Jiang Yuan gently, and when his girlfriend looked over, he pointed at the Kongming lantern on the ground.

Jiang Yuan was stunned at first, but after understanding the meaning, she nodded vigorously.

Lin Senmu said, "Little Yellow Warbler, I'll go buy you a Kongming lantern and help you fly it later."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Morimu~~"

When Ji Yingge was not being so naive, her mouth was actually quite sweet.

Lin Senmu got up and went back and forth.

When he came back, he removed the packaging bag, took out the red fireproof paper, and started making a new Kongming lantern.

Jiang Yuan pointed the camera at Lin Senmu's hands and explained, "Little Huangying, Sensen is holding the lamp mouth and shaking it back and forth. This is inflating air. When enough air enters, the paper will become a lantern shape."

"Then put the candles on it, light it and let it fly."

After a pause, she continued, "But the release time is still ten minutes."

“Oh~~”

Ji Yingge's eyes were full of anticipation. At this moment, although she was not in Coconut City, she felt a strong sense of participation.

Ten minutes will pass very quickly if you are just chatting.

At 23:55, the police on duty at the estuary shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone who is flying Kongming lanterns, you can get ready now. The deadline is 10:00."

As the police officer's voice fell, the young people around him all stood up from the grass and began to check their lanterns.

The people on the island have the custom of flying Kongming lanterns, which is why they were able to obtain special permission.

There were not only police officers on duty at the scene, but also two fire trucks to prevent any accidents.

"Little Yellow Warbler, there are still two minutes left. I will keep the camera pointed at our Kongming lanterns so that you can watch them take off!"

As the surroundings were quite noisy, Jiang Yuan could only speak loudly, and veins were faintly visible on her fair and tender neck.

"Okay~~"

Ji Yingge nodded obediently.

"Baby, here!"

Lin Senmu handed Jiang Yuan a Kongming lantern with a lit candle.

Before releasing the Kongming lantern, it needs to be preheated for dozens of seconds to allow the gas from the burning candle to fill the interior of the Kongming lantern to a full state.

"Hehe, little yellow warbler, here's your Kongming lantern. I'll help you release it later."

In order to let Ji Yingge see it carefully, Jiang Yuan used the camera of his mobile phone to shine the light on the Kongming lantern.

Nie Hao held his own Kongming lantern in one hand and pressed the lighter with the other hand to help Lin Senmu light the two Kongming lanterns in his left and right hands.

"Countdown everyone!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the police's voice came from the loudspeaker.

People at the mouth of Cuilvyuan released their sky lanterns together.

In an instant, countless red lanterns floated into the night sky, illuminating it.

At the same time, there were overwhelming shouts at the scene: "Goodbye 2024, hello 2025!"

Lin Senmu, Jiang Yuan, and Nie Hao were influenced by this emotion and all started shouting at the same time.

“Goodbye, 2024!”

“Hello, 2025!”

Ji Yingge was not at the scene. She stared at the screen of her mobile phone without blinking, and in the screen was the boundless night sky.

The boundless night sky is filled with densely packed and dazzling sky lanterns.

The night sky is filled with lights, and the lights illuminate the sea.

She listened to the deafening noise over there and whispered, "Goodbye, 2024."

“Hello, 2025.”

At this moment, even though the white-haired girl was alone, she no longer seemed lonely.

Today's Kongming lanterns are improved models for safety reasons, and they only take about ten minutes to burn in the air.

Therefore, the police continued to use the loudspeaker to spread the message, "Everyone, don't forget to make a wish, it will fall in a few minutes."

Kongming lantern, also known as the wishing lantern.

Young people have no resistance to romance.

Jiang Yuan was the first to close his eyes and made a sincere wish in his heart.

Nie Hao clasped his hands together and made a wish.

Lin Senmu's wish is, "I hope these three people will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Although Ji Yingge was not present at the scene, she gently closed her eyes and made a pious wish.
