Shi Ling turned around and saw the brilliant fireworks filling the sky. All the distracting thoughts in her mind were forgotten. She said to Luo Yuan in surprise, "Fireworks are banned in Yuncheng, but there's actually a fireworks show."

As she said that, she pulled Luo Yuan upstairs to watch the fireworks show.

"Shi Ling, come up and watch the fireworks!"

Qin Niao's voice came from upstairs. Shi Ling looked up and saw that Qin Niao ran upstairs faster than her.

Soon, Shi Ling, a group of friends, and two old men, Jing Lao and Yu Lao, were standing on the balcony of the villa. Jing Lao was holding his beloved cat Yin Zi in his arms.

Just as Qin Niao and Su Xingwan were holding up their phones to take pictures of the high-rise light show and Pinghu fireworks show in the distance, Shi Ling suddenly heard Yu Chen's cold voice beside him.

He said, "Happy New Year, Shi Ling."

Shi Ling, who was looking up at the fireworks, tilted her head to look at him, her eyes beaming: "Happy New Year, Yu Chen."

Qin Niao: "And me, and me. Shi Ling, Happy New Year!"

Su Xingwan tugged at Shi Ling and said, "Say, 'Princess, Happy New Year,' and I'll forgive you."

Su Zhe'an smiled playfully: "Godfather, there's me too."

Shi Ling saw that everyone around her was looking at her, so she immediately made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted, "Happy New Year, everyone!"

"Happy!" Qin Niao also joined in the fun and shouted.

Su Xingwan followed closely behind.

Luo Yuan thought it was so childish, but seeing Shi Ling's eyes sparkling at her, she still followed it up.

Only Su Zhe'an pointed at Shi Ling and said, "Good boy, you're lazy and want to send a group message, right?"

Su Xingwan jumped up and hit Su Zhe'an on the head, "How can this be the same? Doesn't everyone include you?"

Su Zhe'an wanted to ask, what's the difference? Isn't it just the same perfunctory treatment? But he's afraid of being abused by his sister. Once upon a time, the person Su Xingwan defended so much was Xi Jin, so how did he become his adoptive father?

Shi Ling glanced at Su Zhe'an and said confidently: "Fairies like me are all benevolent, so of course I have to bless everyone."

Xi Jin nonchalantly twirled the bodhi beads in his hand and glanced at Shi Ling. "Does that include me?"

Shi Ling suddenly fell silent, staring at the Bungarus snake on his wrist, its tongue spitting out its tongue: "...Including."

She really wanted to say, Brother, please throw the snake away before asking.

Just then, Xi Jin took out a red envelope and handed it to her.

Shi Ling hesitated, his face full of vigilance, as if he were looking at a snake or scorpion, "What is this?"

Xi Jin said nonchalantly: "New Year's money."

Shi Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly took it and bowed ninety degrees. "Thank you, godfather! Happy New Year!"

Mr. Jing had kept the red envelope in his pocket the whole afternoon, waiting to give it to Shi Ling:?

He deliberately left most of the edge of the red envelope exposed, trying to let Shi Ling see it.

However, Shi Ling didn't even look at it. She was happily looking at the red envelope Xi Jin had given her. When she saw that it was a check for two million yuan, even the ferocious coral snake on his wrist felt a little more friendly.

Shi Ling even felt a pang of guilt for having just bad-mouthed Xi Jin in front of Luo Yuan. "I can't take it anymore. I'll take an ibuprofen later to slow it down."

Su Xingwan was stunned. "Two million, Brother Xi Jin, you've never given me such a big red envelope."

Su Zhe'an thought she was going to get jealous again, so he reached out and flicked her forehead. "Are you stupid? Shi Ling helped Xiguang Hospital through a huge crisis last year. She even saved two important doctors. That's definitely different."

Luo Yuan looked at Xi Jin deeply, and suddenly regretted not preparing a paper red envelope for Shi Ling.

I feel the joy when I receive this lucky money.

Old Yu was thankful that he had called the housekeeper halfway to get a few more red envelopes. Otherwise, if he had only prepared red envelopes for Shi Ling and Yu Chen, there wouldn't be enough to give out. "I have red envelopes here too. Come on, everyone has one."

"Thank you, Grandpa Yu! I wish you all the best!" Shi Ling uttered auspicious words as if they were free.

Mr. Jing, holding the red envelope and about to give it away, said:?! Old man Yu stabbed him in the back!

I didn't bring my book for the open-book exam, and I couldn't find it on my phone. Luckily, there's a PPT in the Zhibo classroom replay. In today's lab class, our group's cement bricks had the strongest compression resistance in the entire major, and I feel like I can go make bricks now.
