Jiang Xu pointed to the fruit platter not far away, "Well then, I'll have to trouble you, Asako."
Lu Chao looked at Jiang Xu's polite smile and resignedly stood up. "Just wait, I'll go get it."
Gu Li put her arm around Jiang Xu's shoulder and immediately praised him, "You're truly amazing."
The Spring Festival Gala was a lively affair, and they chatted animatedly, sometimes so much so that they couldn't even hear what was being said on TV.
Jiang Xu asked Gu Li, "Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala before?"
Gu Li nodded, "Yes, before it was just a few of us watching together, but now there are more people, so it's even more exciting to watch."
Jiang Xu: "I didn't expect that."
Gu Li turned Jiang Xu's face toward the TV screen, "Look, watch the Spring Festival Gala to welcome good fortune, so that we may all have good luck."
Jiang Xu smiled upon hearing Gu Li's auspicious words and nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's watch together."
Lunar New Year's Eve is a time for staying up late to welcome the new year, and the Spring Festival Gala will also accompany some people to truly ring in the new year and truly welcome the first day of the Lunar New Year.
As the clock struck twelve, the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers filled the air, accompanied by the suddenly fading strains of the song "Unforgettable Tonight" on television, marking the start of the new year.
Several people ran onto the balcony, crowding together to watch the dazzling fireworks, shouting with inexplicable joy amidst the noise.
They looked at each other and said "Happy New Year" to one another.
Every "Happy New Year" greeting is a sincere blessing.
Looking at the fireworks that lit up the sky outside the window once again, Lü Chao said, "Let's set off fireworks too!"
Light it up, run, wait, and the flames leap into the sky, exploding into colorful lights, blooming into their own flowers, illuminating them that year, illuminating their carefree youth.
The cold wind couldn't extinguish their burning passion, and the chill couldn't deter their unrestrained youth. They even ran together to the basketball court to shoot hoops and sat on the children's seesaw at the equipment area.
If the slide weren't so small, they would have liked to run and jump on it too.
They leaped across the sand dunes and then ran back to their still-warm home.
They were busy from morning till night during the New Year holiday. After all the commotion, they were exhausted and didn't even have the energy to clean up, so they huddled together on the sofa and fell asleep.
The room was absolutely warm with the heating on, and they felt even warmer huddled together. The warmth was passed on and slowly seeped into their hearts.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Xu grasped Gu Li's hand and whispered, "Happy New Year, Gu Li."
At that moment, Gu Li grasped Jiang Xu's hand in return. He opened his eyes, looked at him, and whispered, "Happy New Year, Jiang Xu."
There were no fireworks that suddenly exploded, no stars to illuminate each other, yet Jiang Xu still seemed to see the glimmer in Gu Li's eyes, a light that touched his heart.
That was the light of dawn, like the rising sun.
