"Three months later."

He calculated the time and said to Manxing.

"By the way, have you decided which university you want to apply to?"

After hearing this, she thought about it carefully for a while and finally stated her goal.

"The Central Conservatory of Music."

"And you?"

She looked into Jiang He's eyes and asked back.

She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable saying it.

"As for me, let's go to Huada."

Jiang He concealed his emotions and said.

Hua University is also in City S. If he gets admitted, they will study in the same city.

He couldn't get into the school that Xiang Manxing attended, but he could still try to get into Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

We can't have just one university, we have to have a place.

Xiang Manxing looked into Jiang He's deep eyes and couldn't understand the emotion in them.

"Hua University is also good. I promise to help you get in."

She promised, patting his shoulder.

Jiang He looked at Xiang Manxing who was leaving and punched her from behind in dissatisfaction.

"fool."

He complained in a low voice, looked at Manxing, shook his hands guiltily, and quickly followed.

The New Year is here in the blink of an eye.

That day, Jiang's father came to their house for the first time with gifts.

"Uncle Jiang, why are you here?"

Xiang Manxing looked at the smiling Jiang's father and the awkward Jiang He with confusion in his eyes.

"Haha, isn't it Chinese New Year? I heard from Lao Xiang that there are only two of you in your family. I happen to have a small family, and it's a lively time with a lot of people during Chinese New Year, so I brought Xiao He along to join in the fun."

"If you're not used to it, we'll just put the gifts down and leave."

She looked at Jiang's father who was about to leave and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Uncle Jiang, you are very welcome to my home. Come in quickly. You are right. It is so lively here."

She didn't understand why her father asked the housekeeper to prepare so many ingredients this morning, but now it seems that the two elders had already planned it.

"Hehe, where's Lao Xiang?"

Father Jiang looked at the polite Xiang Manxing, and the smile on his face looked worthless.

"My dad is cooking in the kitchen."

Speaking of which, Xiang Manxing usually eats the food cooked by her aunt. She almost forgot that her father used to cook big dishes during every festival, and she and her mother would just lie down and wait for the food.

But she hadn't experienced that in a long time since her mother passed away.

This year her father was in the mood.

She thought with some nostalgia.

"Kitchen, I happened to bring some crayfish, so I'll show you my cooking skills tonight."

Upon hearing this, Father Jiang quickly rushed into the kitchen with the things in his hands.

Xiang Manxing watched the two adults busy in the kitchen and greeted Jiang He who was standing there in a daze.

"Jiang He, what are you doing? Sit in the living room."

"shock."

"My dad can actually cook."

He came back to his senses and nodded, shaking his head and sighing as he walked.

Xiang Manxing was happy to hear this. It turned out that their parents were the same.

It was a rare New Year's Day when Xiang Manxing had no intention of studying and dragged Jiang He to the study to play games.

"You have good skills."

Xiang Manxing looked at me with a happy tone as I finished another game.

"Of course. I can't beat you in studies, but how can I lose in games?"

Jiang He looked at Xiang Manxing's generous praise and immediately became proud.

"Kukou, Manxing and Xiaohe, it's time to eat."

Father Xiang listened to the noisy sounds coming from the house, and his expression was not very good.

He made this meal hoping that Xiang Manxing would come and talk to him.

Who would have thought that everyone would be deceived by that brat Jiang He.

"I know, Dad."

Xiang Manxing put down the game controller and opened the study door.

He looked around the room and didn't see anything wrong, and his expression felt a little better.

"Hello uncle."

Jiang He came out and greeted him with a smile.

"Um."

Xiang's father didn't want to talk to this pig who was eating his cabbages, so he nodded and left first.

"...Does your dad hate me?"

Jiang He looked at Xiang's father's back and said aggrievedly.

"Who knows? Maybe that's just his nature."

Xiang Manxing thought of her father's previous instructions and explained without understanding.

Soon the four of them sat down at the dining table.

Xiang Manxing looked at the delicious dishes on the table and gave the two parents a thumbs up in admiration.

"Dad, Uncle Jiang, you guys are amazing. These dishes look delicious."

There were lobster, beef, and ribs on the table, all meat dishes.

"Yes, yes, we two youngsters are in for a treat."

Jiang He couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, his eyes fixed on the fried spareribs in front of him.

"Haha, you two really know how to praise. Let's eat. It's already this late, you must be hungry."

After saying this, Father Jiang turned around and started chatting with Father Xiang.

Xiang Manxing has always disliked social occasions, so after saying this, he buried his head in his food and concentrated on eating.

After dinner, we watched the Spring Festival Gala together in the living room. Unfortunately, my father couldn't stop working during the New Year, so he had to leave early.

Jiang's father then found an excuse to leave.

Xiang Manxing watched the party end and was about to tell Jiang He to go back to his room and lie down, but he spoke first.

"Manxing, it's so boring sitting at home. Do you want to go buy some fireworks?"

fireworks?

She admitted that she was shamefully moved.

"Walk!"

She jumped up from the sofa.

Jiang He looked at Xiang Manxing with shining eyes and quickly called Cheng Hao to inform him.

In the second half of the night, Xiang Manxing, Jiang He, Cheng Hao, and Yang Xue, four people, took a lot of fireworks and firecrackers and set them off on the small stone bridge.

I have to say that this year’s New Year atmosphere is quite strong.

Xiang Manxing looked at the fireworks reflected in the river and felt a little sad.

She hasn't been out with so many friends for a long time.

"Happy New Year with all the stars."

She was lost in thought, and when she heard this, she turned her head and saw Jiang He staring at her.

She listened to the louder sound of firecrackers coming from all around her and realized that it was midnight.

"Happy New Year."

She smiled and wished Jiang He well.

On the other side, Cheng Hao looked at the beautiful atmosphere between the two and couldn't help but secretly poke Yang Xue beside him.

"Yang Xue, do you think they are in love?"

Each smile is sweeter than the other.

"have no idea."

Yang Xue looked over there, but her eyes only focused on Xiang Manxing.

She thought this year would be difficult, but Xiang Manxing's appearance changed everything.

Not only did she make some money, she also gained friends.

The most important thing is that Xiang Manxing did not despise her family. Her grandfather was visibly happier after he returned.

She knew that the situation her grandfather had been worried about was resolved thanks to Xiang Manxing.

Xiang Manxing would often treat her to meals in various ways, and she was very grateful to Xiang Manxing for being her friend.

She originally thought she would be alone during the Chinese New Year again, but Xiang Manxing and the others suddenly appeared at her door.

I hope all my wishes come true in the new year.

Yang Xue prayed silently in her heart with the most sincere blessings.
