Chapter 66: The first time you see someone on the first day of the new year, say Happy New Year
Ever since Yan Ling sent her that video last time, Jiang Jibai has never seen her in a convenience store again.
When you open her Moments, you see two lines and a dot.
She seemed to appear in her life suddenly and disappear just as suddenly.
Jiang Jibai actually didn't blame her. If it weren't for Lu Chang's incident, they might have become good friends.
After staring at the screen for a while, Jiang Jibai withdrew his gaze from the phone screen.
At the same time, Yan Ling was already on the plane leaving Jinghuai.
In business class, Yan Ling stared out the window at the dazzling white, her mind racing. She would go to another city and start a new life.
After completing the mission, she received a large sum of money, which was enough for her to live a rich life for the rest of her life.
She opened the phone page and stared at the contact column of Jiang Jibai for a long time.
They are indeed similar in some aspects, and seeing her is like seeing another version of myself in the world.
There were many things I didn't have time to say to her, and I never had the chance to say them.
Then I wish the other self in the world a happy life too. As the plane flew into the clouds, Yan Ling wished in her heart.
As New Year’s Eve is approaching, the streets are decorated with lights and are bustling with activity.
Lin Shanshan and Liu Yanan are not native to Beijing and Huaihai, and they both went home early to celebrate the New Year. As soon as they left, Jiang Jibai felt even more empty in his heart.
Jiang Jibai actually doesn't like the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year means family reunion. On this important day, people who are still wandering outside return to their hometowns to reunite with their families whom they have been away from for a long time.
But she no longer has the chance to be reunited.
On New Year's Eve, she could only be forced to integrate into another strange family and forced to enjoy this false illusion of happiness.
Convenience stores are staffed 24 hours a day, except for New Year's Eve and the first and second days of the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Jibai asked her boss to schedule her shifts as usual after the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiang Qingfu was very dissatisfied with this. How could he go out to work on the third day of the New Year?
Jiang Jibai raised his eyebrows and said, "Working on holidays will earn you triple the salary."
Jiang Qingfu sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, so he just let her be.

Gu Yunhui saw Gu Moyang, who was dressed neatly early in the morning, coming out of the room.
"I finally got some rest today, where are we going?"
"I'll go out for a while."
Gu Moyang stood in front of the dressing mirror, adjusting his tie and buttoning his cufflinks neatly. A long-lost smile appeared on the handsome face in the mirror.
"Do you still have to go to the company during the New Year?" Gu Yunhui asked.
Yang Chen came out of the room at some point and whispered in Gu Yunhui's ear, "My brother is going on a date."
Gu Yunhui opened her mouth in surprise, "Really?"
Gu Moyang's gaze shifted from the mirror, and Yang Chen shuddered, "You can hear this?" He immediately stood up straight and said to Gu Yunhui, "I'm just guessing, I can't guarantee its authenticity." After that, he immediately went to wash up.
While the three of them were having breakfast, Yang Shunmin just came back from his morning run.
Yang Shunmin has always been in poor health, and he has developed the habit of going out for a morning run every morning to strengthen his body.
He went to the kitchen, got a bowl of millet porridge, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Yang Chen was busy eating, while Gu Yunhui was thinking about what had just happened. She wanted to ask something but couldn't.
Her nephew lost his parents when he was young, so he is introverted, sensitive and stubborn, and he can hide things in his heart.
Since he was a child, he had hardly ever let them worry about his affairs. The biggest thing was that he was determined to go abroad to develop a career a few years ago.
Gu Yunhui also felt sorry for him. He was the only son left by his brother, and he suddenly had to go to a foreign country where he was unfamiliar with the place to develop. If something happened, there would be no one to take care of him. How could they not worry?
They tried to persuade him for a long time, but they couldn't make him change his mind.
Ask him what would happen if the girl went abroad?
Gu Moyang said three words lightly, "Break up."
Gu Yunhui was very surprised at the time, but she didn't dare to ask more questions, and she didn't know what had happened between them that year.
But one can vaguely guess that his determination to go abroad may be related to that girl.
The men in the Gu family are all romantic. Once they set their eyes on someone, it will be for life.
His brother is like that, he clearly can not...
Thinking about leaving behind only such a son, Gu Yunhui couldn't help but feel sad.
She remembered that the girl's name was Jiang Jibai, and she had come to their hometown where they used to live. She was a girl with a personality completely opposite to Gu Moyang.
She was lively and likable. The two of them had a very good relationship at the time and were very much in love. Both Gu Yunhui and Yang Shunmin were very happy.
Who knows what will happen later...
Gu Yunhui could only sigh in her heart.
The only sound in the room was the clatter of cutlery.
Gu Moyang broke the silence. He cracked an egg and asked, "Are you used to living in Jinghuai?"
Yang Chen nodded vigorously: "Of course I'm used to it. This is much better than where we lived before!"
Gu Yunhui glared at Yang Chen, then smiled at Gu Moyang and said, "It's great here. I wasn't used to it at first, but now I've been living here for more than half a year and I'm slowly getting used to it. It's a big city with a lot of job opportunities. I can go out and do some cleaning or something. Your uncle is in poor health, and there are many big hospitals in Beijing and Huaihai."
"It's just..." Gu Yunhui was a little embarrassed, "It's just that I made you spend a lot of money."
Yang Shunmin nodded. "Your aunt is right. I'm sorry for the expense."
Gu Moyang said in a gentle voice: "These are what I should do, you don't have to feel any psychological burden."
Gu Yunhui looked around. The house was spacious and bright, the location was good, and the surrounding facilities were complete. She suddenly felt sad, "What a great place! If your parents could see you today, I don't know how happy they would be."
As soon as Gu Moyang's deceased parents were mentioned, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became gloomy.
Gu Moyang lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Shunmin: "It's such a beautiful day, why are you saying this in front of the children?"
Gu Yunhui quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, let's not talk about these unhappy things."
Gu Moyang raised his eyes and said, "Aunt, Uncle, you and Yang Chen can stay here peacefully. If you need anything, please tell me at any time."
Yang Chen smiled and said, "I won't be polite with you, brother."
Gu Yunhui slapped Yang Chen on the back of the head. "You bastard, your brother is usually very busy, don't bother him if you have nothing to do. Study hard. You are already repeating a grade this year. If you fail to get into university, I will see what you will do!"
Yang Chen pouted: "If I fail the exam, I still have my brother. With my brother here, getting into Heguang is just a matter of a word from him."
Gu Moyang's eyes swept over him sharply, "You don't study hard every day and just want to get in through the back door, right? I tell you, if you don't go to college, you won't even be able to touch the edge of light."
Gu Yunhui and Yang Shunmin both nodded in agreement. "Your brother is right. Just listen to him and stop thinking about those crooked ways."
Yang Chen said in a daze, "I understand."

Not many people came on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Jiang Jibai sat in front of the counter the whole morning, his hand on his chin, watching the passers-by outside the window idly.
The store was filled with warmth and my eyelids gradually became heavy.
She yawned.
I'm so sleepy.
I stayed up too late on the manuscript last night.
The last bit of consciousness in the mind is resisting stubbornly, and the little man in the head is fighting between conscience and man.
The automatic door suddenly opened, bringing in a gust of cold air from outside, and then Jiang Jibai met those deep and dark eyes.
The villains fighting in her mind disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she became more sober.
The man in front of him curled his lips lightly: "Happy New Year."
Jiang Nuannuan.
Jiang Jibai was surprised for a moment, and looked at Gu Moyang standing in front of her in confusion.
He seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his handsome face, his hair neatly combed into a 3:7 split, and the long trench coat suited his temperament very well, making him look tall and neat. The dark red scarf around his neck symbolized the arrival of the New Year.
Seeing that she was still silent, Gu Moyang stepped forward and reminded her: "On the first day of the new year, you should say Happy New Year to each other the first time you see each other."
Jiang Jibai: "..."
