Chapter 333 Inviting You to Celebrate the New Year Together Ji Shuyun hung up the last lantern, climbed down the ladder, and turned around to see Xia Tang gently embracing Xia Zhining, who was rushing towards her, and patting her daughter's back tenderly.
The newly hung lanterns under the eaves cast a warm red glow, gently enveloping his mother and sister, and also illuminating his own profile.
In the halo of light, the silhouettes of them embracing were so beautiful that he was momentarily dazed.
This Lunar New Year's Eve, my mother and sister... were both by my side.
This realization was like warm water flowing through my heart, warming and bloating, yet also pulling at a familiar, sharp pain.
If only Dad were here too.
He closed his eyes briefly, suppressing the lump in his throat.
The fact that Mom can come back is the best thing that has ever happened.
If Dad knew that Mom was not only safe and sound, but had also reached the pinnacle of scientific research, he would be happier than anyone else in the afterlife.
only……
What exactly happened when Dad sacrificed himself to save someone?
Could Mom know some inside information that they've never heard of?
At this moment, Xia Tang gently released her daughter and looked up at her.
She saw her son standing in the lantern light, looking lost in thought. Her gaze softened, and she gently waved to him.
Ji Shuyun took a deep breath of the air, which carried the chill of snow and the warm scent of candlelight, and then walked towards the center of the warm red light.
"mom!"
Ji Shuyun called out softly, then quickened his pace, almost running all the way to Xia Tang.
The usually calm and composed older brother, at this moment, seemed to have regressed to the age of four, running towards his mother who had just returned home from get off work.
Ji Shuyun stopped, and her eyes instantly reddened.
More than ten years have passed since his mother disappeared and his father sacrificed his life, and he has not spent a New Year with his "parents" since.
Xia Tang raised her hand and gently stroked her son's shoulder, which was now much taller than hers. Her voice was filled with clear heartache and guilt: "Shuyun, these years without Mom... you and Ningning have had a hard time."
"It's not hard work."
Ji Shuyun's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice was a little hoarse, but unusually firm.
The three of them didn't say anything more, they just hugged each other tightly.
The newly hung lanterns under the eaves generously cast their warm red light upon them, making even the wind seem gentler.
Not far away, Gu Huaiye sat quietly on the steps in front of the villa, gently stroking Anxing's fluffy head.
The moment he saw Xia Tang's face clearly, all the guesses and doubts he had had in Northeast China vanished instantly.
He looked at the family of three embracing, and at Xia Zhining's radiant smile, a warm and comforting feeling welled up in his heart.
very nice.
Ningning's mother is back.
Xia Zhining, tightly held between her mother and brother, could hardly breathe.
She thought in a daze: Is this what they call... breathtaking happiness?
Xia Zhining managed to create a little space, and she quietly turned her head, catching a glimpse of Gu Huaiye and Anxing sitting on the steps of the forest villa.
Gu Huaiye was looking at her, his eyes gentle and calm, a smile playing on his lips.
Xia Zhining felt a warmth in her heart and gently patted her mother and brother who were still hugging her: "Okay, okay, it's windy outside..."
"Should we... go inside and take a look at my new principal's dormitory?"
Xia Tang turned her gentle gaze to Gu Huaiye beside her: "Alright. Then, Mr. Gu, would you mind showing us around?"
