Chapter 52: The Fifteenth Moon

The six of us finally agreed to go to a Chinese restaurant with karaoke.

I was holding the gifts I had bought in Hong Kong and was very excited to meet my friends. When I arrived at the restaurant, I found that others had already arrived and were waiting for me.

"Hi, Happy New Year everyone!" I greeted enthusiastically.

They all looked up, their eyes fixed on me. Except for Gu Yucheng, everyone welcomed me with a smile.

"Look at the gifts I bought for everyone in Hong Kong." I said excitedly, taking out the gifts one by one and distributing them to everyone.

Chen Xue took a white puppy stuffed dog, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Thank you! Qianqian's gift, this stuffed dog is so cute!" She gently stroked the puppy's fur, a happy smile on her face.

Wang Chenxi also accepted the gift with great joy and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Qianqian!"

Xu Fei and Hu Xin said together: "Thank you!" They held their gifts in their hands and looked very happy.

I noticed that Gu Yucheng didn't move, so I offered him a police bear. I was worried he would refuse the gift, but I didn't want him to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, so I emphasized that everyone got a gift.

"I don't know if you like it or not. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Everyone has one." I said softly.

Gu Yucheng glanced at the bear, then gently touched it. At that moment, I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then, he whispered, "Thank you!"

Looking at everyone's happy expressions, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Hu Xin patted Gu Yucheng's shoulder and looked at me with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He smiled and said, "You are quite good at choosing gifts. Yucheng has always wanted to be a policeman!"

After hearing this, the corners of my mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and I responded softly: "Really? That's great! I hope he can realize his dream soon." At the same time, my eyes fell on Gu Yucheng.

Gu Yucheng heard our conversation, raised his head, and met my gaze. His eyes flashed with gratitude, and then he nodded gently, expressing his gratitude for my blessing.

At this moment, Xu Fei, who was sitting next to me, suddenly interrupted with a warm smile on his face and offered to help me order a drink. "Qianqian, what would you like to drink? I'll help you order."

I glanced at the menu on the table and answered without hesitation, "A glass of lemonade, please!" This answer came out of my mouth as if it had become a habit.

However, at this moment, He Qingyun's face suddenly appeared in my mind, which made me feel a little surprised.

Everyone sat together in a warm and joyful atmosphere. They shared interesting stories from the Chinese New Year and the big red envelopes they received, laughing constantly.

Wang Chenxi excitedly walked to the big screen, picked up the microphone, and prepared to sing. Hu Xin saw her and hurried over to hold her hand. The two smiled at each other and sang the sweet love song "Dimples" together.

Chen Xue and Xu Fei chose the affectionate song "I Want to Understand You Better" as the chorus song. Their singing was melodious and pleasant, making people intoxicated.

When it was Gu Yucheng's turn, he took to the stage alone and performed a romantic and lyrical song, "Writing a Poem for You." His voice was clear and infectious, and every line of the lyrics seemed to be an emotional outpouring from the bottom of his heart.

I couldn't help but applaud him, secretly admiring his singing ability in my heart. His singing moved me.

At this moment, the place is filled with the laughter unique to young people, and everyone's face is filled with youthful vitality and joy.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights come on.

Yu Sheng pulled me and carefully climbed onto the roof of the villa.

"Slow down!" Yu Sheng held my hand tightly, as if I was the most important treasure in his life.

I asked in confusion, "Why did you bring me to the rooftop so late at night?"

"Let me show you the moon! Is it round?" Yu Sheng's voice was full of tenderness, like a whisper in my ear.

Yu Sheng hugged Yao Qian and pointed at the bright moon in the sky, as if showing me a precious treasure.

I looked in the direction of Yu Sheng's finger. A full moon hung in the sky, casting a silver glow like a bright mirror, illuminating the entire world. "It's very round," I nodded, and couldn't help but sigh at the beautiful sight.

Yu Sheng looked at the moon, his eyes revealing a hint of joy, as if he had seen the most precious thing in his heart. "When I was a child, I had a dream, which was to sit on the roof and watch the moon with the person I loved."

I looked at him curiously, "How many people have you liked?"

Yu Sheng sighed, "Just you."

I rolled my eyes in my heart, "I don't believe it." Then I subconsciously covered my mouth. How could I say that?

Yu Sheng smiled slightly, "Yes, you are the only one I love! Others are just passers-by in my life and a pastime, do you believe it?" He turned his head and looked at me affectionately, his eyes full of love.

"I may not quite understand what recreation means..." Is it about sex and not love? What a scumbag! I dare not say a word after that.

Yu Sheng patted my shoulder gently. "It's normal for a rich man to have three wives and four concubines. This won't stop me from loving you! And I only want you now!"

I thought to myself that Yu Sheng’s remarks were simply the words of a scumbag.

I still had to pretend to be obedient and nodded, leaning into Yu Sheng's arms, feeling his warmth. Under the moonlight, we sat quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"There's a shooting star!" I exclaimed excitedly.

I put my hands together and made a wish, silently saying to myself, "Success in the postgraduate entrance exam, and stay away from Yu Sheng!"

Yu Sheng leaned close to my ear and asked, "What wish did you make?"

"I think..." I turned my head and kissed Yu Sheng on the cheek.

Yu Sheng looked at me with eyes full of blazing passion, and he immediately took me into his arms, letting me lie on his lap. He lowered his head and kissed me passionately on the roof.
