"Let's not talk about whether we can become lovers in the future, just being friends with you is a happy thing," Liu Xia said, "I'm honored to be liked by you. I'm a divorced person with a child, and I'm not disliked by others..."

"Don't say that," Qi Zijin comforted him, "Don't belittle yourself. Divorce is not a mistake, it's just a choice. The failure of the marriage is not your fault... I'm sorry... I... didn't deliberately ask about you..."

"I know my story is well-known in Yushan, and there are always people discussing it. It doesn't matter if they hear about it," Liu Xia said, "You are a very gentle person. I can feel it."

Qi Zijin was relieved, "That's good."

Liu Xia was a little emotional: "From the time of my divorce until now, it has always been my family who has been with me and comforted me. I basically don't socialize with people in the outside world. You are the first person who took the initiative to add me on WeChat and said that you can be my friend."

Qi Zijin: "People can't stay at home all the time. They need to go out and interact with others and see the outside world. This will broaden their horizons."

Liu Xia: "Yeah."

Qi Zijin: "I hope you can get out of your ideological predicament as soon as possible. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best."

Liu Xia covered her lips and chuckled. He looked so reserved and official, which was really cute.

"Okay." She nodded and said, "Thank you."

The two looked at each other, but were too shy to look at each other directly, and there was embarrassment in their eyes.

"Let's set off fireworks," Zhou Mo didn't want to put pressure on the two of them, so he changed the subject.

Since Qi Zijin has bravely taken the first step, the subsequent direction has been determined.

It depends on whether the two of them can get along well.

What happens next is not something that others can decide, as she and Liu Hun are here.

Qi Zijin also couldn't have any deeper contact with Liu Xia in front of them.

Everything should be discussed in private.

Qi Zijin and Liu Xia are both shy and reserved people, so you can't make trouble for them. It will only put too much pressure on them.

Why not just go out for fun, set off some fireworks, and leave them both with a wonderful memory.

It can also be considered as a celebration that there may be one more pair of lovers in this world.

The fireworks are beautiful.

It was just as beautiful as the time when she and Han Chen went to put it on.

Especially when the colorful images are reflected on the rippling water, the colorful feeling is extremely visually enjoyable.

"It's said that fireworks are meteors left by heaven on earth. If you make a wish at the moment when the fireworks bloom, your wish will come true. Let's each make a wish. It's New Year's Day, and everyone must have a New Year's wish." Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll go first."

She looked up at the sky, waiting for the next bunch of fireworks to shoot up and bloom in the air.

She said: "I hope that everyone will be successful in the future and happy in their work and career."

Liu Hun said, "It won't work if you say it out loud."

Zhou Mo: "Sincerity is the key to success. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not."

Liu Hun: “…”

Liu Xia stepped forward and said, "It's good to say it out loud so that we can all share in the joy. I hope Huixuan can grow up healthily and that I can find a suitable job in the new year."

"Of course," Liu Hun said, "I'd be more than happy if you could come and help me."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Tell me your wish."

Liu Hui: "I don't have any other wishes. If I have to say one... it's that you can come and help me."

Liu Xia: "You really are the type to throw your entire family into your work."

Liu Hun: "Everything I do is good for the benefit of our village. It's meaningful and I'm motivated to do it."

Liu Xia: "It's mainly to attract the attention of the elderly in the village, right?"

Liu Hui smiled sheepishly, "Anyway, I feel a sense of accomplishment."

He turned his gaze and looked at Qi Zijin, "Director Qi, what about you? What are your New Year's wishes?"

Qi Zijin: "Nothing else, I just hope that the issue of my child going to school can be resolved as soon as possible. This is also the top priority of my work in the new year."

Liu Hui: "Look, Director Qi is even more pragmatic than me."

Several people laughed together.

While waiting for the fireworks to finish, they ate something in the car and chatted briefly.

The wind is very strong on the river dam in winter, but it is very warm in the car.

As the topic went on, it focused on Liu Xia.

Liu Hun hated Liu Xia's ex-husband to the core.

Especially later, the rumors about the divorce became the topic of conversation in the village.

Liu Hun was even angrier.

"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore," Liu Xia didn't want to recall it at all.

"Yes, we must always look forward," Qi Zijin said. "The future is more worthy of attention."

Liu Xia was a little curious. "Director Qi, excuse me, do you... mind that I'm divorced? I don't mean anything special, it's just... being divorced is quite controversial. You're a well-known figure in Yushan, and you're associating with a divorced woman like me with a child..."

"Our interactions are neither illegal nor immoral, and they do not bother others. If others have any complaints, it is because they have problems with their thinking. They are wrong, not us." Qi Zijin was very firm.

After hearing his words, Liu Xia felt much more relieved.

Being a divorced woman, this identity has more or less made her feel inferior.

Qi Zijin's affirmation gave her great encouragement.

"As expected, if you interact with people who are warm-hearted, you will also be warmed."

At this moment, Liu Xia felt extremely warm in her heart.

After an extremely heartbreaking failed marriage, Liu Xia once felt that she could not get over it. She has made considerable efforts to get to where she is today.

Although she seems calm now, she actually feels like a pool of stagnant water.

Peace is real, and seeing no way out is also real.

Qi Zijin was like a fresh spring, and his arrival injected a bit of vitality into Liu Xia's life.

It also let her know that in this world where people's words are scary and full of prejudice, there are still such warm people.

And such a person is actually a man.

"Sister Xia Xia, be more confident," Zhou Mo hugged Liu Xia, stroked her arm, and comforted her, "You are beautiful and have a good personality. Anyone who doesn't know how to cherish you will lose. Anyway, I don't think I have a good temper like you. If anyone steps on my sore spot, I will explode."

Liu Xia looked at her and said with a smile, "If someone like me were to be put in society, others would think I was weak and could be bullied. But you are different. You are not just unreasonable and angry. You have edges and corners and personality. When others meet you, they will just think you are not someone to be trifled with."

Zhou Mo: "Look at my sister Xia Xia, she's really good at saying nice things. You can even make my bad habits bloom with your praise. If possible, I will definitely bring you by my side every day and let you praise me, so that I can have a constant source of confidence and happiness every day."

Liu Xia patted her lightly and said, "Nonsense."

Zhou Mo: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth."

Liu Xia: "Look at you, aren't you sweet-talking too?"

Liu Hui stepped out to smooth things over, "Stop flattering each other. It gives me goosebumps."
