Chapter 113 Happy New Year
New Year's Eve.
Ji Beichi and Ji Zhen prepared twelve dishes together.
This year can be regarded as the best year for the two of them.
After Ji Beichi finished cleaning up, he sat on the balcony with his sister to watch the fireworks.
Ten thirty at night.
Ji Beichi gave Ji Zhen a thick red envelope, which made Ji Zhen jump for joy.
Afterwards, the brother and sister watched the Spring Festival Gala together.
After a while, Ji Zhen was so sleepy that her eyelids started to droop, so she went back to her room to sleep.
Wait until my sister falls asleep.
Ji Beichi stood alone at the balcony railing, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance and watching the children playing and playing on the nearby streets.
Watching couples holding hands.
Watching the family laughing and playing.
In the night sky, snowflakes fell silently, landing on his shoulders and hair. After a while, their color turned his hair white. However, he was unaware and stared at the white world with empty eyes.
Half past eleven.
Ji Beichi took out his cell phone.
The screen lit up, illuminating his face.
His fingers involuntarily clicked on the chat page with Lin Tian.
After hesitating for a long time, his fingers trembled on the screen, and after taking a few deep breaths, he uttered the words:
"Lin Tian, Happy New Year."
He waited quietly, however, there was no response from the other party.
Ji Beichi couldn't help but wonder, what would Lin Tian be doing on New Year's Eve?
Should you sit together with family and friends and share the warmth of the New Year's Eve dinner, or spend this night that should be lively alone in silence?
If he is alone, will he be lonely?
After waiting for a long time, there was still no news from Lin Tian.
Ji Beichi made a phone call for some unknown reason.
He originally thought that the call would not be connected, but when a "Hello?" came from the other end of the line.
When Lin Tian's calm and peaceful voice reached his ears, his brain instantly froze.
Ji Beichi opened his mouth, but found that his throat seemed to be strangled and he could not make any sound.
He had a lot of things he wanted to ask Lin Tian, and a lot of things he wanted to say, but when he heard Lin Tian's voice, which was devoid of a trace of warmth, all of his words turned into silence.
Lin Tian didn't say anything else.
The only sound in the receiver was the two people's gentle breathing.
No one hung up the phone, and the situation remained in a stalemate.
Finally, Ji Beichi uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice hoarse:
"Lin Tian, I wish you a happy new year."
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.
He leaned against the railing, his fingers tightly clenched around the phone. His hands, which had already turned red and purple from the cold, now turned slightly white from being clenched so tightly.
Waves of bitterness surged in his heart, as if his heart was pricked by a needle, stabbing and aching. Even his stomach began to feel sour. The pain was so severe that he covered his stomach uncomfortably, held the railing with his hand, and bent down slightly.
His eyes gradually turned red, a layer of mist welled up in his eye sockets, tears welled up in his eye sockets, but he always held back and did not let them fall.
The scene in front of me gradually became blurred by the mist and became hazy.
He took a deep breath, tilted his head back slightly, and tried to hold back the tears, but they still overflowed from his eyes and slowly slid down the corners of his eyes.
He asked himself again and again in his heart, why would he fall in love with someone who once forced him?
Lin Tian hasn't appeared in his life for a long time, but he still can't help but think about him and care about him.
He knew clearly that he might just be a plaything of the other party, an emotional puppet being manipulated at will.
But he still held on to hope, hoping for a trace of sincerity.
I was lucky enough to think that those dynamics were actually conversations with myself.
I was lucky enough to think that Lin Tian actually liked me a little bit while playing with me.
He was lucky enough to think that Lin Tian was just angry at him for not wanting to sleep with him.
He thought these were just tricks to play with him.
But it has been almost five months and there is no news from the other party.
If the other party really wanted to keep him hanging, they should have come to him a long time ago.
He was just deceiving himself, thinking that Lin Tian would come back and continue to tease him.
I was really completely abandoned.
Ji Beichi looked at Lin Tian’s avatar on the screen, clicked on it, and wanted to delete Lin Tian from the contacts.
But when my finger hovered over the delete button, it trembled slightly involuntarily and was reluctant to put it down.
His emotions were almost broken. He half-knelt on the ground, raising his hands to wipe away the tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.
He felt himself to be extremely ridiculous for crying over a man who played with him.
He is not a crybaby.
But this time, the tears were like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be stopped.
At the corner of the living room, Ji Zhen stood there at some point, quietly looking at the tall but extremely lonely figure kneeling on the balcony.
She saw her brother half-kneeling on the ground, his shoulders trembling slightly and crying silently.
Ji Zhen's eyes also turned red.
She pursed her lips, feeling heartbroken but not knowing how to express it.
Ever since my brother came home, he has been worried all the time and often stays in a daze for hours.
She didn't know what had happened to her brother, nor did she know how to comfort him.
I could only stand silently in the corner and cry with my brother.

On the other side, Lin Tian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the snowflakes drifting outside.
Lower your eyes.
His eyes fell on the phone screen which showed that the call had been hung up.
His eyes were calm without a trace of emotion.
In the living room, Hao Jia, Yu Liao and Xu Ce were sitting on the sofa, immersed in an intense game battle.
The game sound effects and their shouts intertwined together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Hao Jia turned around and saw Lin Tian still standing by the window after hanging up the phone. He waved at him:
"Master Lin, are you ready? Come on, I'm waiting for you."
Lin Tian looked back at the three people on the sofa, walked over, lazily sat down on the single sofa beside him, leaned back, clicked on the game page, and glanced at the three people sitting on the right.
"Invite me."
Xu Ce smiled and responded: "Yes, yes, Master Lin, please come into the room."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Okay."
Xiao Huahua watched Lin Tian playing games, holding her cheeks with both hands and sighed:
[It’s Chinese New Year. I really want to celebrate it. I really want to celebrate it with my parents, have a family reunion dinner together, watch fireworks together, and build a snowman together. 】
Seeing that Lin Tian ignored her, Xiao Huahua curled her lips, feeling a little sad, and continued:
[Host, the second male lead and the female lead are going to get married after graduation. Do you think we can really complete the mission after they are together?
If we fail to complete it, will we just... die? Are we going to disappear from this world? 】
Lin Tian's fingers paused, and the character on the game interface also stopped briefly.
Remain silent.
[Host, don't scare me, why don't you speak?]
Lin Tian still did not respond. He quit the game directly and looked at Hao Jia and the other two.
"You guys play, I'm going to go out for a while."
Hao Jia and the other two didn't even raise their heads. They slid their fingers quickly across the phone screens, nodded busyly, and let Lin Tian do his work.
Lin Tian stood up, walked out of the gate and stepped into the yard covered with heavy snow.
The cold air hits me.
He squatted down, scooped up a handful of snow with both hands, and began to shape it.
The snowflakes were pressed little by little in his palms and gradually took shape.
I don’t know how much time passed.
A small and cute snowman appeared in front of him.
Lin Tian found two branches and inserted them on both sides of the snowman as its arms.
"Xiaohuahua, the snowman is ready."
[Wow~ I want to pile it too~]
"I piled it for you."
【……】
“Isn’t it pretty?”
[……] After a brief silence, Xiaohuahua's voice suddenly choked up, [It's... beautiful, beautiful, much more beautiful than the ones I made. 】
Lin Tian looked at the little snowman in front of him, and then started to build two bigger snowmen.
After the pile was completed, he pointed at the three snowmen and said to Xiao Huahua:
"Don't cry, look, this is daddy, this is mommy, and this is Xiaohuahua."
Xiao Huahua sobbed and said:
[I still have a grandfather. If I have another one, our family will be reunited. 】
"Okay, then add another grandfather."
The heavy snow fell like goose feathers, landing on Lin Tian’s hair, shoulders and clothes.
In a short while, he looked like a big snowman, with snowflakes covering his whole body.
