The three watched as Lu Qi's scarlet car headlights disappeared into the pitch-black night.

"Let's go," Yun Suni said to them.

The colorful lights around her did not add vitality to her lifeless face; instead, they made her appear even more lonely.

"Oh, sis, it's just a man. If you're really unhappy, just break up with him. The next one will be even better! There's no shortage of men in this world. Although it's a bit hard to find someone as handsome as him, you're so beautiful, it'll be a piece of cake. We're not worried at all, okay?"

Seeing Yun Su Ni's lost and dejected appearance, Wu Jieyu said bluntly.

"If all else fails, we can have a few drinks and have a good argument. That's how I always get through breakups."

"Shut up." Cheng Qicai shoved her.

"What? Cheng Qicai, didn't you go through this when you broke up last time? You dare say it won't work?" Wu Jieyu is such a blabbermouth, she always has to bring up her past.

“It’ll work perfectly. When you break up with this guy, I’m going to drink you until you’re stuffed.” Cheng Qicai retorted angrily.

Yun Suni felt much better after listening to their argument.

Wu Jieyu's phone suddenly rang. She took it out and smiled broadly. The sound of typing was incessant, and it was obvious who she was chatting with.

They were so deeply in love, and just a moment ago they were acting so nonchalant, saying things like "He's just a man."

In the blink of an eye, she was chatting sweetly with her boyfriend.

"You should go back, Wu Jieyu," Cheng Qicai reminded him.

Wu Jieyu, blinded by lust, immediately stood up, waved goodbye to them, and couldn't wait to go back and chat with her boyfriend.

Cheng Qicai really wanted to throw that worthless attitude at her face from just a few minutes ago.

"Don't mind her, she's the most love-struck person around all day long," Cheng Qicai turned to Yun Suni and complained.

“Your friend is just as interesting as you are.” Yun Suni smiled.

"They're not the same at all..."

She was different from Wu Jieyu, who was obsessed with love. She was a little unhappy that Yun Su Ni compared her to Wu Jieyu.

Cheng Qicai turned her head and asked, "It's getting late, are you going to sleep?"

Remembering how she always felt down after meeting Lu Qi, she asked again, "Do you want to sleep with me?"

"No, thank you."

Seeing Yun Su Ni's refusal, Cheng Qi Cai didn't say anything more.

The two went back to their respective rooms to rest.

The next day, New Year's Eve, was a bright and sunny day, much like the gloomy weather of the past. The sun was shining brightly, and the warmth of the sun felt wonderful on my skin.

Cheng Qicai got up early and cooked rice with Yun Su Ni, and then put up the couplets on the door.

Grandma Cheng and Grandpa Cheng were giving instructions from below, all talking at once.

After the two of them finished pasting it, they saw that it was crooked, but not terribly crooked, so Cheng Qicai decided to just make do with it.

The most important thing on New Year's Eve is visiting graves. Since Yun Suni couldn't go with them, Cheng Qicai could only ask Yun Suni to wait at home while she went with the other relatives.

When Cheng Qicai returned, she saw Yun Su Ni reading a book.

It has to be said, a top student is a top student; they can calmly read books even on such a lively holiday.

After finishing her business, Cheng Qicai had nothing to do, so she sat next to Yun Su Ni and played on her phone.

Although there were only five people, they prepared a very lavish New Year's Eve dinner, including chicken, duck, and fish.

Ms. Yun and her family also ate around the same time, and we video chatted while eating, so we all had a reunion dinner together.

After dinner, Cheng Qicai felt that the Spring Festival Gala was boring, so she took Yun Suni outside to set off fireworks.

"Sis, do you rarely put them in?"

"Yes, City A doesn't allow it."

“Then you can set them off as much as you want now, we don’t care.” Cheng Qicai opened the plastic bag and took out different kinds of fireworks to introduce to Yun Suni: “Look, these are fireworks, these are sparklers, these are snap pops, these are fairy wands…”

Yun Su Ni had no idea that there were so many kinds of fireworks, and Cheng Qi Cai took her to experience them one by one.

"Sis, you look perfect for a fairy wand! Here, I'll take a picture of you and make sure you're the most dazzling person on social media during New Year's Eve."

After saying that, Cheng Qicai ran upstairs, took out her camera, and directed Yun Suni to take pictures.

Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng came out and watched the two of them bustling around in the yard with smiles. Cheng Qicai then called them to come and take pictures together. In the end, her camera had many group photos of the group.

Cheng Qicai originally wanted to take a few more pictures, but her grandparents couldn't stand her fussing and told her to take pictures of Yun Su Ni instead.

After taking enough photos, the two went back inside to eat sunflower seeds and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Around midnight, Cheng Qicai fixed the camera in place and gave Yun Suni a lighter. The two of them bent over and timidly placed the lighter under the fuse.

As the phone countdown began, Cheng Qicai shouted to Yun Suni, "Click!"

The two lit the fuse with a lighter and quickly retreated. With a loud "bang," firework confetti rained down on them.

The deafening explosions filled the air, and the strong smell of sulfur permeated the atmosphere. Nothing could compare to the festive spirit of the New Year at this moment.

Cheng Qicai raised her voice and shouted to Yun Suni, "Happy New Year!"

Yun Suni said to her in the same volume, "Happy New Year!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, watching the village ablaze with lights, blooming and then fading away.

The two watched, occasionally commenting on which family's fireworks were the biggest and best-looking. Only after the fireworks stopped were set off did they go back inside.

After experiencing the fireworks, Cheng Qicai's nerves were actually heightened, and she didn't want to sleep for a while.

"Sister, do you want to sleep?" Cheng Qicai's voice was full of joy.

She turned to look at Yun Suni, only to see her staring blankly at her phone.

Cheng Qicai accidentally glanced at her phone's records. "Sis, aren't you going to call Brother Hui?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Cheng Qicai continued, "Cheer up, sis. Don't worry about last year in the new year. You are not the same person you were last year. You are not replying to Lu Ge from last year. The new Lu Ge may have changed a lot."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yun Suni go out to return the call.

She sat on the stool, replying to messages from her friends who had sent her birthday wishes on her phone.

Compared to the lengthy New Year greetings that most people copy from the internet, a simple blessing like "[May everything go well for you in the New Year!]" stands out.
