"Hanabi-sama is the best in the world!"
no change.
"Hahaha, it's finally over!" Hanabi jumped up with joy, her face beaming with happiness.
He turned around abruptly, his gaze towards Lin Yuan becoming somewhat complicated.
"How about it? Isn't this unexpected surprise delightful?"
Lin Yuan looked around, observing the clinking of glasses and the joyful atmosphere among the guests, and spoke softly:
"Sometimes, there's no need for deliberate design or scripted conflicts. Just enjoying happiness in a simple and ordinary way is just fine."
Hearing Lin Yuan's seemingly lecturing tone, Hanabi gave a soft snort.
"I, the magnanimous one, will forgive you this time." She glanced at Lin Yuan.
"This time... even if I owe you a favor, Lady Hanabi, I'm leaving."
The Masked Fool turned his head, and his ponytail drew a playful curve in the air.
"What if I make you repay the favor right now?"
The sound came from behind.
"I'm busy this time! Director Hua, I've finished filming the script at Pinocchio, I'm done, OK?"
Fireworks gave the middle finger and skipped away in the light and shadow of the fireworks, eventually disappearing into the crowd.

Chapter 353 An Everlasting Feast
Beneath the blooming fireworks, Lin Yuan's face was illuminated by flickering light and shadow.
He looked around at the bustling crowd, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
Joyful times always come to an end, and all good things must come to an end. Once this celebration is over, he will return to Pierpont to throw himself into a fierce upper-class struggle.
"Let's take this last chance to relax and rest a bit more." Lin Yuan sighed softly, shook his head, and cleared his mind, letting go of his complicated thoughts.
The ending is beautiful, unlike the one in the game. It doesn't require any tragic or bitter events; it's just a happy family gathering to make dumplings.
But even though he didn't want to go looking for trouble, trouble still came knocking on his door.
"Hey, the company's cutie, why do you look so relaxed? You're all just freeloaders."
Lin Yuan glanced at the newcomer, the sea patrol ranger Potio, and sighed softly. It seemed that he was ultimately never free.
"Cowboy, it's such a nice day, why don't you go have a few drinks? Don't go looking for trouble here."
"You can drink whenever you want, but have you forgotten something, my dear?" Potio scoffed.
Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and said casually, "I thought you and Sand Gold had already discussed it."
Potio was taken aback by what he heard, and his expression changed slightly.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have a similar past to him, so I trust him. But you… he’s my darling. I don’t believe that the animosity for power could be more serious than killing an entire family.”
The sea patrolman's sharp eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan:
"But your company's people are all pretty much the same; the moment you ask about specific plans, you say the timing isn't right—"
"I already have an idea. I'll contact you when it's your turn to step in."
Lin Yuan interrupted the other person and spoke calmly.
"Remember, only I can give you the most likely opportunity for revenge, and the one with the highest chance of success. If your patience doesn't match your hatred, then you can act on your own."
Potio paused for a moment, then gave him a deep look.
"My darling, I'll trust you one more time. I'm not the kind of adorable person who gets carried away by hatred. I have a lot on my shoulders, so I need a sure-fire opportunity!"
He paused.
"I believe you not because he is so precious that he would abandon everything for hatred; on the contrary, I will always be suspicious of everyone."
It was your actions at Pinocchio that earned my trust. I believe in my hunter's eye, but I will keep a close eye on you.
Lin Yuan didn't answer, but simply looked up at the sky. When he turned around, Potio had already disappeared.
..............
Amidst the surging crowd, not far from Lin Yuan, a figure lingered among the throng.
The silver-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then finally came to stand in front of Lin Yuan after meeting his gaze.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan, it's nice to see you again. I am..."
"Miss Liuying, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to attend the ceremony as well."
"Silver Wolf brought me up here." Hearing that Lin Yuan still remembered her name, Liu Ying smiled slightly.
"Silver Wolf... Is she watching this place too?" Lin Yuan looked around, his face showing interest.
As soon as she finished speaking, Silver Wolf's voice came from the phone that Firefly was carrying:
"What, you want to beg for mercy from me, Wolf Lord? Hmph, let me tell you, I've recorded your meeting with the Star Core Hunter. Believe me or not, I'll send it all over Pierpont."
Lin Yuan remained calm and casually extended one finger.
"If you actually do that, firstly, they will say... you made it all up."
The second finger is raised.
"Secondly, they would say that the Protector General naturally has his own reasons."
"cut."
Hearing Silver Wolf's defiant voice coming from the phone, Lin Yuan's smile widened.
"I just wanted to tell you that our Market Development Director, Oswaldo Schneider, has given orders to capture all Star Core Hunters, especially that Silver Wolf who once invaded Pierpont."
"Considering our successful collaboration with Pinocchio this time, I'm giving you a heads-up: don't get caught."
"Hmph, who's afraid of who? Oswaldo, my foot! Believe me or not, I'll invade you again!" Silver Wolf roared.
Watching Lin Yuan and Yin Lang bickering over their phones, Liu Ying smiled gently from the side.
After the atmosphere eased, Liuying hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question:
"Mr. Lin Yuan, although I have no relevant memories, something terrible within me has temporarily disappeared, or rather, been suppressed. I want to ask you... my intuition tells me that you helped me, but how exactly...?"
"Does the truth matter? As long as there's a good outcome, isn't that enough?" Lin Yuan glanced at her.
"I just feel..." the silver-haired girl lowered her head, "...that everything is like a beautiful dream, like a fleeting illusion. When I wake up, everything will go back to normal."
"Oh."
Lin Yuan could see her longing for this fleeting moment of beauty, and her fear of losing everything again. He didn't explain further, but simply took a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Although I can't tell you exactly how I did it, you can come to me for help if that thing reappears in the future."
He lowered his voice and added, "Don't show it to Silver Wolf."
The phone exploded instantly: "Hey, I heard you! I won't stand for not contacting you no matter what happens!"
Lin Yuan calmly said, "Don't say that, Little Wolf. We may have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Then give Kafka's clothes back first!" Silver Wolf yelled.
"Clothes? What clothes?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.
Seeing a hint of relief on Liu Ying's face, Lin Yuan said to her one last time, "Ladies, enjoy the moment. Have a good time."
Liu Ying took the business card and carefully put it away. She revealed a unique smile, and amidst Yin Lang's mutterings, she turned and disappeared into the crowd.
...........
As he watched the figures disappear into the distance, a plan began to take shape in Lin Yuan's mind: Star Core Hunter, Sea Patrol Ranger.
As he was deep in thought, crisp footsteps sounded, and Lin Yuan welcomed his last visitor.
"Hello friend, when does the Harmonious Music Ceremony begin?"
Looking up, she saw Huang Quan, dressed in a blue dress, walking slowly towards her. She looked at the dispersing crowd around her, a hint of confusion on her face.
"Miss Huang Quan, the Harmonious Music Ceremony has ended."
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan remained silent for a moment, then shook his head with some regret.
"Sorry, I got lost again on my way here."
"There's nothing to apologize for. Let's go, how about we grab a drink together?" Seeing the other person's slightly embarrassed look, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"it is good."
The two walked through the noisy crowd and arrived at the bar at the bow of the ship.
Lin Yuan took two glasses of wine from the bar, handed one to Huang Quan, and then walked to the bow of the boat to gaze into the distance.
"Where does Miss Huang Quan plan to go after Pinocchio ends?"
"I don't know." Huang Quan shook his head.
"If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime. After all, we're friends."
Huang Quan took a large gulp of wine and nodded silently.
Perhaps because she hadn't tasted the bitterness of alcohol in a long time, she tilted her head back and finished the drink, unable to help but frown.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan spread out his right hand, and a round peach appeared in his hand.
"You can find anything in this dream, and I just found this too."
Huang Quan stared blankly at the peach, then at Lin Yuan, and finally gently took it. She didn't eat it, but simply held it in her hand.
She stepped forward, and like Lin Yuan, looked up at the boundless starry sky, then suddenly spoke:
"If everything will eventually return to nothingness, to utter darkness, then... where should we go?"
Lin Yuan didn't answer immediately. He gazed at the twinkling stars for a long time, then softly asked, "Tell me, in the universe today, does light or darkness prevail?"
"I don't know," Huang Quan shook his head.
“I guess it’s light,” Lin Yuan said, gazing at the sky. “Because in the beginning, the universe was a void of darkness.”
