Chapter 483 She had been mentally berating him for a long time, and the insults she hurled at him were truly awful.
Nanzhou.
New Year's Eve.
The underground city base was brightly decorated, and fireworks lit up the sky.
Everywhere was bright red and festive, filled with joy.
Although Pei Jinwu is the youngest, he has a lot of money.
But her older siblings still prepared a large red envelope for her.
Pei Jinwu took the red envelope and thanked them one by one.
halfway.
Grandpa Shang and Grandma Shang, Uncle Shang and Aunt Zhong Man also transferred money to her via mobile phone.
The amount was so large that she almost couldn't count it all with her two eyes.
Pei Jinwu respectfully replied with "New Year's greetings," accepting the elder's good wishes.
Then my gaze fell on the pinned contact.
WeChat remained silent, without even a red dot.
I'm quite busy.
Grandparents, uncles, and aunts can all talk to her.
He was the only one who didn't make a move.
Pei Jinwu thought to himself, "The cricket chirps and the inkstone echo in my mind."
The more I cursed, the more suffocated I felt.
We agreed to be apart for fifteen days, but it's only been fifteen hours...
It felt like an eternity.
Habits are a terrible thing, especially once they've seeped into your bones.
It's hard to quit.
——
The New Year's Eve gathering has ended.
Pei Jinwu was the youngest, and according to family tradition, she didn't have to stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
After chatting for a while, my older siblings urged me to go to sleep.
She returned to her room in low spirits.
Pushing open the door and looking at the empty room, a wave of sadness washed over me.
She had lived in this house for many years, but now it looked strangely unfamiliar and desolate.
I wonder what Shang Shiyan is doing at this very moment.
"Bang--"
Midnight, the new year begins.
The ear-piercing sound of fireworks echoed throughout the sky.
"Happy New Year, little sister."
My six older brothers and sisters sent their blessings one after another.
"Happy New Year, my sweetheart."
"Wuwu, Happy New Year! May everything go smoothly for you, and may you be happy forever."
Mr. and Mrs. Shang, Shang Hechuan and Ms. Zhong Man also sent their New Year's greetings right on time.
Let's look at the inkstone from the Shang Dynasty—
very good.
Still nothing.
Pei Jinwu opened the chat page, typed a bunch of messages, and then deleted them.
In the end, I typed a period (.") to move on.
The other party has not replied for a long time.
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, fidgeted with the bedsheet, and sulked.
They said they could contact him anytime.
As expected.
A man's words are deceitful.
Unreliable.
"Smack—"
Pei Jinwu turned off her phone, threw it on the table, and lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.
The fireworks gradually faded.
The whole world became quiet, so quiet that she could hear the slightest sound of the wind.
Just as Pei Jinwu gave up waiting and tried to fall asleep while hugging the pillow that smelled familiar,
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The subordinate, his face grim, exclaimed, "Boss, something bad has happened!"
"What's up?"
Pei Jinwu opened the door, frowning as she stared at the panicked man before her.
"Our enemies have come to the door. They insist on seeing you, and our men are about to be overwhelmed."
The man pointed to the door, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with deep fear: "Your brothers and sisters don't know yet."
"An enemy?"
Pei Jinwu's gaze turned cold, and she casually grabbed her coat and walked out.
He reminded them midway through, "Don't let them know."
It's such a wonderful day, I'm so happy, and I've just fallen asleep.
Don't let some fearless people spoil their fun.
"call--"
Once Pei Jinwu left, the panic on his subordinate's face vanished instantly. He sighed and said with a smile, "How was my acting? Pretty good, right?"
"Very good."
The others gave a thumbs up and added, "You dare to deceive the boss? You're really something."
"What's there to be afraid of? Master Shang said he'll protect me."
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, the others burst into laughter, saying bluntly, "Master Shang? Don't you know how much weight his words carry in front of Boss Ghost?"
"..."
His subordinate's smile froze, and he suddenly felt that the bank card he had used to bribe him was no longer so appealing.
——
Pei Jinwu hurriedly left.
He even picked up a gun halfway through, and a chilling aura emanated from him, making him terrifyingly cold.
I initially thought it was a real enemy coming to cause trouble.
Who would have thought of the doorway?
Instead of facing off against an enemy, I spotted a familiar car.
A familiar figure was standing nearby.
"Happy New Year."
Wearing a black trench coat, Shang Shiyan stood under the dim streetlights, holding a bunch of blue roses, looking slightly tired, gazing at her with deep affection.
"Although it's a bit late, I hope it's not too late."
"..."
She watched as the man, who should have been spending the New Year with his family in the North Continent, suddenly appeared in the South Continent.
For a moment, I couldn't tell if it was real or an illusion.
Tsk.
They really are enemies.
The biggest nemesis of the dungeon.
"Are you stupid?"
Shang Shiyan stepped forward, gently grasped the gun in Pei Jinwu's hand, and said in a helpless but affectionate voice, "Loaded? Ready to shoot me?"
What are you doing here?
Pei Jinwu stood there, the cold wind making her more awake.
"After our reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, I'll fly over to spend the New Year with you."
Shang Shiyan took off his coat and draped it over the little girl, explaining gently, "It's still a bit late."
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at him, speechless.
so.
Is the reason I can't contact him because he's on a plane?
Um.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
She cursed him in her heart for a long time, saying some really nasty things.
"Why aren't you spending the New Year with Grandpa and Grandma?" Pei Jinwu licked her lips and found her voice: "We agreed to meet again on the Lantern Festival."
She was an orphan and knows how painful it is to have a New Year without family around.
We'll see.
The merchant only had him and Shang Xun as his children, so the old man naturally wanted to enjoy his grandchildren.
"Need not."
Shang Shiyan put the gun in his pocket, put his arms around the girl's waist, and said in a deep voice, "Since we're spending time with family, we have to be fair. After we're with them, we'll spend time with you."
"not to mention--"
Shang Shiyan leaned down, nuzzled his forehead against the girl's, and whispered, "If I weren't afraid of disturbing your family reunion, and since I don't have legal status, my grandparents probably wouldn't even let me eat New Year's Eve dinner, and would have been urging me to come find you."
No.
Before we had even finished our New Year's Eve dinner, Grandma took the bowl away.
It's clear that Wuwu misses him.
Happy New Year, Fog Fog.
After explaining, Shang Shiyan repeated it again seriously and solemnly.
"Is this our first New Year? Are you happy?"
"Um."
After a long pause, Pei Jinwu regained her composure and managed to force a smile, saying, "Happy New Year."
——
In the lobby.
Jiang Jibai and Song Mingji kept watch over the New Year.
The two chatted casually.
Song Mingji: "It's so nice not to see that guy surnamed Shang and his sister being all lovey-dovey."
Jiang Jibai: "I'll relax for a couple of days, maybe he'll come tomorrow."
Song Mingji: "Is he that impatient?"
Jiang Jibai: "It's your sister who can't wait."
With Shang Shiyan gone, she felt like she'd lost her soul.
"Fine." Song Mingji sneered, and said in a sly tone, "Anyway, all of us siblings are here. If Shang Shiyan dares to come, let him sleep in the doghouse."
Since there are no spare rooms at the base, we can't exactly make him sleep in his sister's room, can we?
Upon hearing this...
Pulling Shang Shiyan along, Pei Jinwu, who had just reached the door, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
To avoid trouble.
She opened the balcony door and let Shang Shiyan climb up through the window.
"It's like an affair, kind of exciting." Shang Shiyan smirked wickedly.
"Sleeping in a doghouse is even more exciting."
"..."
Shang Shiyan could no longer laugh.
——
good evening.
