Chapter 52: A New Year, Let’s Love Someone New
"Bao, he's the boss of Lu's Group, why didn't you tell us?"
Lin Shanshan whispered angrily into Jiang Jibai's ear.
"Is his identity very important?" Jiang Jibai asked.
She told her roommates about Lu Chang's confession to her the year he graduated.
Of course she didn't agree. At that time, Gu Moyang had just broken up with her, and Jiang Jibai couldn't accept a new relationship at all.
After graduation, Lu Chang went to work in another city, and the two of them rarely contacted each other.
There is no need to reveal his identity.
Lin Shanshan called her silly. "He's a CEO, rich, handsome, and has been in love with you for so many years. He's everything a girl dreams of in a partner. And best of all, he's in the restaurant business. He'll be so impressive when we go out to eat together! I agree to this marriage."
Jiang Jibai muttered softly: "...How could there be a bestie as eager to get married as you are?"
The fireworks show will begin soon.
The city center was crowded with people. Probably all the people who loved to join in the fun in Beijing and Huaihai had come here.
The LED screens on the tall buildings all simultaneously displayed electronic fireworks to suit the occasion.
In an instant, the lights came on and the night became as bright as day.
Lu Chang walked over from the bright lights, carrying four cups of hot coffee.
"It's quite cold outside. Holding it in your hand will warm you up and give you a boost of energy."
Lin Shanshan took the coffee, thanked her several times, and gave Jiang Jibai a wink. "Senior Lu is so thoughtful."
Lu Chang smiled calmly.
Lin Shanshan glanced at the two of them and said tactfully, "You guys play here. My brother and I will go for a walk over there. Call me if you have anything!" After that, Lin Shanshan took Wen Yize and ran away like a gust of wind.
Four people suddenly became two, and in this atmosphere Jiang Jibai instantly became a little at a loss.
"Let's walk over there." Jiang Jibai held the coffee, his face a little stiff from the cold, "Let's find a good view point."
"So do you prefer a more lively place or a quiet place?" Lu Chang followed Jiang Jibai and looked down at her trembling eyelashes.
"Let's go somewhere lively." Jiang Jibai looked directly at the crowd in front of him. "I've been staying at home for a long time. I want to go somewhere lively and feel the atmosphere of the world."
"Um."
He actually knew a place with an excellent viewing spot, but that place was very quiet and there were not many people.
Since she wanted to have some fun, Lu Chang didn't mention it.
—
"Really? Mr. Gu, you still have to work overtime on New Year's Eve? If you don't leave now, you'll be alone in the whole building!"
Ji An pushed open the door of the president's office and looked at Gu Moyang who was sitting in front of the computer with a serious expression.
Gu Moyang ignored him.
Ji An found that this guy was becoming more and more taciturn. He could still argue with him before, but now he was too lazy to even argue with him.
"There's a fireworks show downtown, let's go watch it and join in the fun."
"No." Gu Moyang didn't even look at him, and his tone clearly showed no interest.
Sun Yiran also came. He went straight over and slammed the laptop on the table shut.
Gu Moyang sighed and glanced at him in annoyance, "Are you sick?!"
Sun Yiran wasn't afraid of him. "I don't know if I'm sick or not, but I know if you keep looking like this, you'll get sick. Can you go somewhere lively and get some fresh air? I've called Xu Jiaman along, let's go together."
Gu Moyang rubbed his tired brows, sighed softly, and said nothing more.
When we arrived in the city center, we were still a few minutes away from the fireworks show.
They were sitting in a great viewing spot, where they could see the panoramic fireworks through the floor-to-ceiling windows without having to squeeze with the crowd below and be blown by the cold wind.
This place has a quiet environment and most people can't come here.
But it’s different with Gu Moyang here, the whole building belongs to him.
The waiter served each of the four people a cup of Longjing tea and some snacks.
Ji An took a sip of tea and said, "Ayang, you said you have such a nice place, it would be a waste if you don't come and sit down."
Gu Moyang rested his elbow on the armrest, his chin in his hand. The light reflected on his dull face as he looked out the window. The small section of his wrist watch shone coldly. "You guys can come even if I don't come."
Xu Jiaman crossed her legs, moved closer to Gu Moyang, and said with a smile, "Moyang, what are you talking about? If you don't come, what's the point?"
Ji An and Sun Yiran could of course understand what Xu Manjia meant, and they exchanged glances with a smile.
If the old does not go, the new will not come.
Gu Moyang didn't respond to her and continued looking out the window with a cold expression.
His deep eyes suddenly froze.
In the noisy crowd, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side.
Those are Jiang Jibai and Lu Chang.
Each of them held a drink in their hands.
They seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
As Jiang Jibai was walking, her scarf was suddenly blown open by the wind, and Lu Chang wrapped it around her again.
Today is New Year's Eve. Are they celebrating the New Year alone?
A strong feeling of soreness and swelling came over him in an instant.
Her thick eyelashes trembled, her chest rose and fell uncontrollably, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
Gu Moyang lowered his eyes and put his hand down, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it, trying to suppress the strong sore feeling in his heart.
The bitterness of the tea spread in his mouth as it went down his throat, and his heart felt bitter and sour.
Gu Moyang clenched the cup in his hand, veins bulged on the back of his hand, and his deep and cold eyes under his long eyelashes were infinitely desolate.
Ji An, who was sitting opposite him, noticed that Gu Moyang's face suddenly looked extremely bad.
"What's wrong?" Ji An asked.
Gu Moyang did not answer him, but stared out the window silently with a dark look in his eyes.
Everyone noticed that something was wrong with him and leaned over to look.
I immediately understood when I saw the figure in the crowd.
Suddenly, the first dazzling firework in the dark blue sky rushed into the air and exploded with a "bang".
The sky is filled with colorful lights, like flowers scattered by fairies in the night sky.
The fireworks show began.
Gu Moyang looked at the bright figure in the crowd. She was looking up at the fireworks in the sky.
Fireworks lit up her face.
She smiled.
Her smile was brighter than the fireworks in the sky.
And the people around her were also looking at her.
The gorgeous fireworks in the night sky were still blooming, exploding above his head with loud bangs.
Colorful, brilliant and grand.
Gu Moyang's ears were buzzing. He sat in the position closest to the fireworks, overlooking the most prosperous night scene in Beijing and Huai'an, but his heart was extremely desolate.
"Who picked this place?" Ji An glanced at Gu Moyang's face across from him, which was darker than the night. "What...what kind of crappy fireworks are these? They don't look good at all."
Sun Yiran ate a piece of cake and said, "Didn't you say that the fireworks show was good and asked us to come?"
Ji An felt very guilty. He didn't expect that he could see a young couple showing their love while watching a fireworks show.
"It's actually quite nice." Xu Jiaman looked at the couple outside the window and was secretly happy. "I think it's pretty good."
"Then you guys watch here, I'm leaving first." Gu Moyang stood up with a gloomy face, took his coat and left.
Seeing this, Xu Jiaman chased after him. "Mo Yang, wait for me."
"Hey...you guys." Sun Yiran leaned back in his chair and sighed to himself, "What a mess."
Ji An and Sun Yiran were left staring at each other.
Ji An: "Let's just spend the New Year together. We both don't have anyone in a relationship."
Sun Yiran: “…”
—
In the cold and noisy night, all the big screens began to count down.
Some people in the crowd stared at the numbers on the big screen and shouted.
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"seven!"
"five!"
"Four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"Happy New Year!" Deafening New Year's greetings burst into my ears.
The old people, children and adults in the square are all filled with joy at the arrival of the New Year.
Jiang Jibai looked at the time on the screen in front of him which was stuck at 00:00 and said to himself in his heart.
In the new year, find someone new to love.
