Xu Fan couldn't help but smile. He had intended to clean the room, but he found it was actually quite clean.

After circling the room several times, Xu Fan shook his head, and without further hesitation, pasted the couplets on the door.

Looking at the bright red calligraphy, Xu Fan couldn't help but think of last year, or the year before, and when he was a child, at his maternal grandfather's house.

I was really happy during the Spring Festival back then. Whether it was putting up couplets, eating dumplings, setting off fireworks, or going out to play, I could always find something special in all the excitement, which is called happiness.

Xu Fan pasted up the couplets, put the old ones in the trash can and packed them up, preparing to stay. He glanced at the room again, and it was still the same as before.

His room was completely silent. He shook his head, locked the door, and left.

Having accepted the garbage, Xu Fan glanced back at the old building, a building that had been there for many years.

I don't know when I'll be able to come back next time.

Xu Fan was about to leave, but at that moment, his gaze turned to the distance where he had parked his car.

There was a girl standing there, with a backpack on her back and her hair tied in a small ponytail.

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, and the little girl smiled happily, revealing a row of teeth.

Xu Fan walked over, and the girl said, "Superstar brother, long time no see."

===Chapter 463 The Scene===

Xu Fan couldn't remember when they last met.

But during this period of time, he always managed to hear some news about Song Runrun, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, those poems; for example, her telling her mother that Chen Yuanyuan took a bullet for her; for example, just now he had thought of her.

So, after standing there stunned for a moment, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a long time."

The little girl is Song Runrun. Like a girl next door, she looks quite pretty with her schoolbag on her back.

Song Runrun smiled sweetly, took two steps forward, looked at Xu Fan and said, "Happy New Year's Eve."

Xu Fan nodded and said seriously, "You too, didn't you go home for winter break?"

Song Runrun stuck out her tongue and said, "I sneaked out."

Xu Fan looked at Song Runrun with a puzzled expression. Song Runrun said, "Because I knew you were coming back here today. Sure enough, I saw you."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "If you want to see me, you can call me anytime."

Song Runrun said softly, "Really?"

Xu Fan nodded, and Song Runrun said, "I know you're a very busy person. Look, you have to attend the New Year's Eve party tonight."

Xu Fan shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do, that's just life."

Song Runrun chuckled softly, "Superstar brother, what was the meaning behind that song you sang the other day called 'This is Fate'?"

Xu Fan paused for a moment, then looked at Song Runrun with some confusion and asked, "Why are you asking such a question?"

Song Runrun said, "Because I feel that fate is sometimes unfair. That's just destiny. Should we give up resisting?"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It's not about giving up the fight, but about accepting it while learning to create a better version of yourself within this reality."

Song Runrun looked at Xu Fan with a blank expression and said, "Oh!"

Xu Fan gave a soft "Oh," but didn't explain anything further. Instead, he asked, "Do you want to go home? I can take you."

Song Runrun stuck out her tongue and said, "I know you're busy, so you don't need to see me off. I'm wishing you a Happy New Year in advance!"

Xu Fan said, "You are welcome to come to my home anytime."

Song Runrun said, "I'm just worried that you won't be home. You'll definitely be visiting relatives during the Spring Festival."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Then I'll be going now."

When Song Runrun gave a serious "Mm" and waved goodbye, Xu Fan felt conflicted. Song Runrun had said she was worried that he wouldn't be home. Although her subsequent statement that she would definitely be visiting relatives during the Spring Festival perfectly explained the meaning of the first sentence, Xu Fan still felt there was something wrong.

However, he didn't think about it too much.

A chance encounter, then separation—everything is normal.

Watching Xu Fan leave, Song Runrun stood there seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, she stamped her foot and muttered to herself, "Do you think I wanted this?"

This is a nonsensical statement; no one can understand it.

Of course, not many people heard it.

Xu Fan couldn't hear it either. Upbeat music was playing in his car, and he was humming a tune. He checked the time and prepared to go directly to pick up his mother and Han Zilu.

Before he even arrived, Xu Fan received another call from Fatty, who said, "Hey Lao Xu, dinner's about to start, where are you?"

Xu was taken aback for a moment. Fan, with the phone on speakerphone, said, "We're going to a party for dumplings tonight, so I'm not coming."

The fat man said angrily, "I was talking about the party. As your manager, how could I not come to an event like this?"

Xu Fan thought it made some sense and said with a smile, "Weren't you out on a date?"

The fat man chuckled and said, "That's not true, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Fan didn't press further and said, "Okay, I'll pick up my mom and then head straight there. We'll meet at the entrance to the party."

The fat man answered and hung up the phone. Xu Fan then made a voice call to Han Zilu, saying that he was almost there and could come downstairs.

As a working woman, Han Zilu is quite time-sensitive, while Xu Fan's mother had already dressed in new clothes and was waiting to leave. With just one phone call from Xu Fan, the two of them went downstairs.

So when Xu Fan arrived, all he could say to his mother and Han Zilu was, "You came really fast."

In return, she received eye-rolls from Xu's mother and Han Zilu.

Xu Fan didn't hire any security guards; the person who stayed by his side the most was Fatty Zhao Feiyang.

When Xu Fan arrived at the scene, he took one look and thought, wow, it was a sea of ​​people, there were so many!

It's important to know that tonight's New Year's Eve celebrations here aren't just attended by the star singers and celebrities; there are also specially invited celebrities, such as the top ten outstanding young people of the year from China Overseas, or the top ten touching figures, and so on.

Some lucky invited families will even be able to ring in the New Year with celebrities tonight.

When Xu Fan arrived, Fatty Zhao Feiyang was already there, dressed in a suit and tie. Upon seeing Xu Fan, he quickly came up with an emcee and said to Xu Fan, "Let them drive the car away. Get out and come with me. Where's Auntie?"

Xu Fan said, "In the back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang quickly opened the car door, paused for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Zilu is here too."

Han Zilu nodded and said, "Hello, President Zhao."

Zhao Feiyang chuckled and looked at Xu's mother sitting inside, saying, "Hello, Auntie, are you cold? Why are you dressed so lightly?"

Xu's mother said with a smile, "Good job, Xiao Zhao. You still can't keep insisting on wearing new clothes like that rascal."

Zhao Feiyang glanced at Xu Fan and said, "You brat."

The tone and manner of his voice suggested he was joking.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were father and son or teacher and student. Xu Fan shook his head and handed the car keys to the staff member next to him. Some fans who had come to see this scene screamed.

Xu Fan could only look around, give a soft greeting, and then follow the fat man inside with a smile.

Fortunately, the fans who came tonight were all very well-mannered and wouldn't do anything too outrageous, after all, everyone knows how important Xu Fan is tonight.

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang led Xu's mother and Han Zilu inside. Once inside, they hadn't reached the scene yet. Zhao Feiyang said, "Let's go, get in the car, they'll take us to the dining room for dumplings."

Xu Fan was taken aback for a moment, and Zhao Feiyang said, "There are still three or four hours before the party starts. Before the party starts, all participants will be served hot dumplings, but not here, so just get on the bus."

Xu Fan nodded and said to his mother, "Mom, don't be nervous."

Xu's mother wiped her sweat and said, "I'm just happy."

At this moment, Xu Fan didn't say anything more, but looked at Zhao Feiyang and said, "If you come to keep me company tonight, what about your girlfriend and your aunt and uncle?"

Zhao Feiyang smiled awkwardly and said, "My girlfriend went home for the Chinese New Year."

Xu Fan looked at Zhao Feiyang curiously, and Zhao Feiyang continued, "My mom and dad aren't in Zhonghai. They went to the border region. There's a primary school there that needs help, and they've gone there. They should be there for the Chinese New Year this year."

===Chapter 464 They Are All Heroes===

Zhao Feiyang's parents are truly loving people.

They earn meager wages, yet they toil day and night, traveling all over the country. They truly embody the saying, "Wherever they are needed, that's where they are."

Xu Fan patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder and said, "It's the same wherever you spend the New Year. Your uncle and aunt are great."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "I know. I'm an adult now. If they can't come back next year, I'll go find them directly."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I'll go with you then."

Zhao Feiyang said with a smile, "That's great."

Hearing this from behind, Xu's mother said, "You brat, you're not going to abandon me, are you?"

Xu Fan turned to look at his mother and said, "Oh, I'll take you with me next year, so we can celebrate the New Year together with Fatty's family."

Han Zilu asked timidly from the side, "Can I go?"

Xu Fan was taken aback, but the fat man said happily, "Of course, you can definitely go."

Xu's mother happily said from the side, "You'll have to come with me then."

Actually, next year's Lunar New Year is still a long way off. It's normal to say it's more than a year away, since the old year is still a few hours away from ending.

The driver didn't say a word. After dropping the four people off at the dining room, he had to go pick up other people.

Led by Zhao Feiyang, Xu Fan and his two companions walked inside. Zhao Feiyang said that he had actually been here once before and was now quite familiar with the place.

Xu Fan didn't think too much about it and followed behind him, chatting and laughing with his mother.

Although it's called a dining room, it's actually a huge reception room with hundreds of tables.

When Xu Fan arrived, there were hardly any seats left, but as Zhao Feiyang said, there would be enough dumplings for everyone to eat their fill at the party tonight.

Xu Fan sat down with his mother in an empty seat, and Zhao Feiyang jogged over to report the number of people registered and who they were.

Xu Fan then ate with Mu Qi.

Not long after, Zhao Feiyang came over and said, "Let's just sit here and wait a while, and someone will bring the dumplings."

The steaming dumplings were separated one by one, without sticking together at all.

After taking a bite, Xu's mother exclaimed in surprise, "I really want to eat money!"
