Chapter 96: Spending the New Year Together

After that, He Jing's life returned to normal. A week later, Dean Guan brought Avery to apologize.

He Jing finished a day's classes and followed Gu Zheng downstairs.

When Dean Guan heard the sound, he quickly pulled the people around him up.

"Excuse me, Miss He."

"It's okay." He Jing glanced at Avery, who had a dazed look on his face, and looked at Gu Zheng with some surprise.

Gu Zheng nodded, confirming her guess, "Sit down first."

After the two of them sat down, Dean Guan expressed his gratitude with a serious expression, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for saving my daughter. I will definitely keep a close eye on her from now on."

After saying that, he patted Avery on the shoulder and said, "Apologize to Miss He." "...I'm sorry, Miss He, I was wrong to do that before. I hope you can forgive me."

Avery stared at He Jing blankly, his tone numb.

"It's okay..." He Jing stared at her for a while and then looked away.

There seemed to be nothing more to say, and the two quickly disappeared from Gu's house. He Jing seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to ask?"

"What's wrong with her?"

"I saved my life, but my mental strength was reduced from A-level to D-level."

"..." He Jing was silent. Although she didn't take this seriously, she knew how big of a blow this would be to an interstellar person.

"What is that catalyst?"

Gu Zheng didn't need to go on patrol today, so he thought about it and talked about the issuance, circulation and prohibition of catalysts.

"There may be some connection between the animal park and this incident. Be careful when you go out next time."

He Jing nodded repeatedly, thinking that he didn't like going out anyway.

At worst, I won't go out before the exam.

The New Year is coming soon. This is He Jing’s first year here, and He Jing is very happy.

Gu Rong also had his winter vacation, and the two of them went out shopping and decorated the house festively.

Gu Qidong and Gu Zheng became busier as the year drew to a close, but Shen Wanzhou had some free time.

Every day I stay at home and take care of the flowers in the greenhouse with He Jing.

I have completed all of Hejing's courses and will enter the review stage after the new year.

Gu Rong was amazed at her learning progress. It was only a month, less than four months at most, and she had already finished learning the content of three years of school.

He Jing was also very emotional. He had been in the Gu family for so long without realizing it.

On the Lunar New Year's Day, He Jing received a lot of messages, including from Jiang Wenqing, Zhou Bai, Yang Ziang, and Gao Songyang...

Everyone she knew and had added sent her blessings, and He Jing replied to them one by one while curled up in the sofa with her eyes curved.

When the Gu father and son came back, He Jing was smiling happily.

Gu Zheng sat down beside her and tilted his head to look at her.

He Jing naturally handed the intelligent computer to him, "Look, Gao Songyang dressed himself up like a lantern. (≧≦)"

Gu Zheng glanced at it and looked away, "Want to go play in the snow?"

He Jing's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Gu Zheng's arm and moved closer, "Really? Can I go play in the snow now?"

Gu Zheng paused and turned his eyes away, "Yeah."

"Wow! That's awesome!! I thought I'd have to wait until next year!"

He Jing jumped off the sofa and ran upstairs to change clothes, fearing that someone would go back on their word.

Because of Dr. Wen's advice to "don't catch a cold," every time it snowed, she could only watch helplessly from inside the house. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

When I came down, Gu Zheng was already waiting at the door with a prepared hat, scarf and gloves.

He Jing obediently let him tidy up and wrapped herself up in three layers inside and outside.

Gu Zheng fastened his gloves, looked at her and chuckled, "Okay, go play."

He Jing ran out happily with the cat ears on his hat.

Gu Zheng was still wearing his patrol uniform and a pair of black gloves, and was making a snowman with He Jing in the yard.

"Are you really not cold?" He Jing looked at his open coat and shuddered with empathy.

"It's not cold, I'm used to it." Gu Zheng compacted the snowball, and He Jing held it with his two cat paws and pressed it on another bigger snowball.

The cat paw gloves are big, furry and super cute.

He Jing quite likes it, it feels soft and warm.

The two of them built a row of snowmen in the yard and played until the sun set. He Jing was reluctantly dragged back to the room by Gu Zheng.

Gu Bole was so happy that he handed over a hand warmer and hot ginger tea.

"The snowman you made is really lifelike."

"Hehe, this is all thanks to A Zheng. Uncle Gu, did you figure out which one is you?" He Jing's eyes were bright and he looked expectant.

"Third one from the right, I guess."

"Yes! That's it!"

Several people laughed happily, and Shen Wanzhou even took a photo and posted it on StarNet, which attracted a lot of likes and inquiries.

During dinner in the evening, Gu Qidong and Shen Wanzhou took out the red envelopes they had prepared.

He Jing waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no!"

"No, you must accept it. This is a tradition of the Gu family. Every child has it!"

Gu Rong also followed suit with a smile.

He Jing blushed and took it from them, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

"Your uncle prepared New Year's money for you. I thought about it and prepared something different. It's a set of jewelry. See if you like it."

Shen Wanzhou smiled gently, and He Jing didn't know why, but suddenly thought of the princess series that Gu Zheng had mentioned.

She opened the box carefully, and sure enough!

The pink diamond-carved crown, necklace, earrings, and rings appeared gorgeously before her eyes.

"……What a nice view."

“I designed this before Xiaorong was born. I didn’t expect that he would be a boy.” Shen Wanzhou said with a sigh.

Gu Rong howled in disbelief, "Mom! Am I not good enough? Am I not your sweet little cotton-padded jacket anymore?"

“Oh, you are, you are!” Shen Wanzhou smiled and picked up a fish fillet for him to block his mouth.

"I thought no one would ever wear it in this lifetime, so it's just right to give it to you now."

He Jing's eyes were hot, and he nodded with a sob, "Thank you, Auntie..."

"We're all family, so don't be polite. Besides, jewelry only has meaning when someone wears it. Auntie is very happy~"

After dinner, He Jing received several more red envelopes, some from Uncle Gu, some from the cooking lady, and some from the gardener who cleaned the yard...

He Jing's small pockets were full.

She was wrapped in this overwhelming love and floated to Gu Zheng in a trance.

"many……"

"Okay, keep it safe." Gu Zheng patted her head and a red envelope appeared in his hand from somewhere.

"Happy New Year."

He Jing was stunned. "Happy New Year...why are you giving it to me too?"

"For good luck."

He Jing reached out to take it, but it didn't feel smooth. "What is this?"

"The magnetic cards showing the key points and difficulties of the internal recommendation exam can be attached to a smart computer or tablet for easy access."

(O_O)

He Jing took out the card, and there was also a peace amulet along with the magnetic card.

Amulet?!

The amulet of the ancient earth!

He Jing's cat eyes widened instantly, "This, this, this..."

"Ancient Earth's amulet, recorded in the library. I made one according to the pattern. I hope you like it."

"I love it!! I love it so much!!! I love the magnetic card too!!! Thank you, A Zheng!!"

He Jing carefully picked up the amulet and hung it around his neck.

Boom!

The clock rang, it was twelve o'clock, and the new year began.
