It was only a little past seven o'clock after the New Year's Eve dinner ended.
However, it was already completely dark by then.
It was New Year's Eve, and unlike previous years, after dinner everyone gathered in the living room instead of going back to their rooms.
Although the Shen family's sofa was large and luxurious, it looked rather crowded when all five siblings sat on it, one on one side and two on the other.
Su Yang especially loved this family atmosphere. She took out her phone and started snapping photos. Only after she was satisfied with the photos did she put her phone away and ask the children:
What are your plans for later?
Wen Yan was checking the program list for the New Year's Eve gala online when she casually replied, "Let's watch the gala together, and then stay up all night to welcome the New Year. Isn't that tradition?"
“Boring,” Shen Jingchuan leaned over. “Look at this program, it’s all singing, it’s boring. When can’t we hear songs?”
Wen Yan didn't even glance at him: "It's about the atmosphere, you know? You're always so opinionated. So what do you want to do?"
“Come on,” Shen Jingchuan pointed outside, “I’ll take you for a drive.”
"Going for a drive?!" Wen Yan's eyes widened as she turned to look at Shen Jingchuan, who was standing right in front of her. "Don't think I won't scold you just because you're handsome. Don't you even look at the temperature outside? Going for a drive? Isn't it more comfortable to stay at home and watch TV?"
"Really?" Shen Jingchuan immediately touched his chin smugly. "I've become more handsome, haven't I?"
"…………" What responded to him was a slap from Wen Yan that pushed his handsome face away.
"No, so you don't want to go out tonight?"
"What are you going out for!"
"Let's go for a drive."
"Go by yourself."
"What's the point of me going alone?"
"So when you were never home before, weren't you always going for drives by yourself?"
"Now that you can go for a drive with me, isn't that great?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Shen Jingchuan: "Why are you looking at me without saying anything? Say something!"
Wen Yan: "I don't know what to say for a moment."
Shen Jinghe: "Too long-winded."
Wen Yan looked at Shen Jinghe incredulously: "!! Are you talking about me, Second Brother?"
Shen Jinghe glanced at Shen Jingchuan: "I'm talking about him."
Shen Jingchuan: "Are you sick in the head? Are you attacking me?"
Su Yang: "Sigh~ How can you say such things during the New Year? You can't call someone sick."
Shen Jinghe: "Hmph, that's right." After saying this, he looked in the direction of Wen Yan and Su Yang.
He continued, "How about we go set off fireworks?"
“Great!” Su Yang clapped her hands in agreement. “It’s been so long since I’ve seen fireworks. Have you already made arrangements?”
“Yes,” Shen Jinghe nodded, “Big Brother made the arrangements a long time ago.”
“That’s great,” Su Yang asked her two daughters for their opinions. “Should we go or not? It’s a bit cold, but we can wear thicker clothes.”
"Go!" Wen Yan immediately put away her phone. "I'll choose fireworks over the gala. What about you, Yu Long?"
"I'm with you."
"Then let's hurry up and get dressed!" Wen Yan excitedly grabbed Qin Yulong's arm, and as they passed Shen Jingchuan, she couldn't help but tease him a couple of times, "You're not going, are you? I heard you're going for a drive."
"No way! I've done so much preparation, how can I not go?" Shen Jingchuan said, while eagerly putting his arm around Wen Yan's shoulder. "Come on, let's go upstairs together. I need to go back to my room to put on some more clothes."
Shen Jinghe: "Flattery." And the more he looked at the hand that Shen Jingchuan had placed on Wen Yan's shoulder, the more displeased he became.
But there's nothing he can do; he simply can't do such a thing, especially in front of so many people.
So how can Shen Jingchuan be so shameless?
Thinking of this, Shen Jinghe subconsciously glanced at Shen Jingxiu.
He was looking down at his phone, seemingly not paying any attention to Wen Yan at all.
Half an hour later.
The Shen family's two luxury cars were parked one after the other in an open space.
After getting out of the car, Wen Yan realized that they were by the lake.
She looked around and looked up at Shen Jingxiu beside her, asking, "Where is this, brother? Is it okay to set off fireworks here?"
Shen Jingxiu nodded and reached out to tidy up Wen Yan's wind-blown hair.
"Is this place alright? Are you cold?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "It's not as cold as I imagined. When did you come to prepare this? Our whole family has been together all day today."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan felt a warmth on her ears. Looking up, she saw that Shen Jinghe had suddenly appeared and put an earmuff on her.
She reached out and touched it; it was furry and felt wonderful to the touch.
"Thank you, Second Brother!" She turned around, gave Chen Jinghe a sweet smile, and her big, bright eyes were so captivating.
Shen Jinghe was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, and it took him two seconds to find his voice.
"We came here this morning to prepare, you must have slept until noon, it would be strange if you knew."
"I see. The fireworks were set off by the lake, right? I think I saw one that was about my height. Was it that big?"
"No, I don't think so," Shen Jinghe frowned, "Which one are you talking about?"
“That one!” Wen Yan said, pointing in a direction.
Shen Jinghe was speechless: "What kind of eyes do you have? That's Yu Long..."
"Huh? Oh my god, I'm blind, haha. I'll go find her then!" Before she could finish speaking, Wen Yan had already disappeared in a flash.
Qin Yulong and Shen Jingchuan stood together by the lake.
Not far away was Su Yang, who was constantly looking for the right angle with her camera.
