Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"Oh... so you're saying you're spending the Lunar New Year at the villa too?"

"Yes, young master, actually... after all these years, we consider this place our home now. I don't know if saying this is being presumptuous..."

"Home..." Lu Yao, who was driving, suddenly repeated the word.

"No, what's so presumptuous about this? I think it's great that you think this way."

"Hehe, thank you, young master."

"grateful..."

Yu Zhe rested his arm against the car window, watching the scenery rushing past outside.

I was quite moved by what Lu Ling had just said.

The concept of home... perhaps Yu Zhe hadn't considered this aspect earlier.

These two sisters seem to have lived in an orphanage since they were young. Later, after becoming maids for the Su family, they lived in the residential area specially arranged for the maids in the villa.

But they are different from the other maids, who only live there when required for work and go home on their days off.

But where is Lu Ling and Lu Yao's "home"?

As they themselves said, they probably already considered the villa, Yu Zhe's home, as their own home.

Therefore, some of the things Yu Zhe said just now, and even before, now seem inappropriate in retrospect.

For women like them, is the work of a maid, or in other words, the "job" of taking care of and protecting Yu Zhe, really considered a job?

No, these things are simply their way of protecting their "home" now.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhe couldn't help but smile: "Then in that case, we're family."

"Family?! Young Master, what's this...?"

"happy..."

Clang!

As Lu Yao uttered the word "happy," the entire car shook violently!

"Sister, drive carefully! Are you sleepwalking?!"

Lu Ling, how dare you say that to her!

Oh, Yu Zhe forgot... He always tries to keep quiet when the two sisters are driving.

That's too dangerous!

After more than ten minutes, the vehicle came to a stop in front of the Tankong Building.

The place is still as bustling as before, except that there are no employees today, and all the lights were left on by Yu Zhe for Mo Lingyun alone.

It won't be needed soon.

Accompanied by Lu Ling and Lu Yao, Yu Zhe took the elevator directly to the floor where Mo Lingyun was located.

In his own company, all the room locks were useless to Yu Zhe; he could simply stand at the door and the door would open automatically.

"who!"

Oh dear, Yun'er is still very vigilant.

As soon as the door opened, Yu Zhe saw that she had been lying on the bed, but she suddenly stood up.

When she saw that the person who came in was Yu Zhe, the wariness on her face immediately disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by endless joy.

"Brother Yuzhe! What brings you here!"

"You didn't expect that, did you? Happy New Year, Yun'er! I'm picking you up to go out and have some fun."

"Get out...get out? But..."

"Oh no buts! Hurry up, put on your shoes and coat, time waits for no one, let's go!"

"Huh? Okay... I'll get ready right away!"

Mo Lingyun's surprise outweighed her worries. Perhaps the greatest happiness in the world is the New Year's Eve. You thought you would have to helplessly welcome the New Year alone again, but at this moment, the person you love most suddenly said that they wanted to take you out.

What happiness this is!

Before Mo Lingyun could hesitate, after she put on her shoes, Yu Zhe took her hand.

I started running all the way to the outside of the Tan Kong Building and began my journey home.

....................

The Su family villa was a place Mo Lingyun often visited when she was a child; she really misses it.

Now, being led in by Yu Zhe's hand, she felt as if she were in a dream.

"Yun'er, I've prepared a surprise for you."

"surprise?"

"Yes, look at the sky."

Yu Zhe led Mo Lingyun to a stop by the lake at the villa.

She tilted her head back, waited only a few seconds, and then opened her eyes wide.

Lakeside, sky, water and sky blend into one.

In the pitch-black night sky, a magnificent firework bursts forth brilliantly above the villa.

46. ​​The initial confrontation

Against the dark sky, fireworks of various colors burst open, displaying all sorts of interesting patterns, which were all reflected in Mo Lingyun's beautiful eyes.

She couldn't help but take two steps forward, clasping her hands together in front of her chest, gazing with delight at the red lotuses in the sky.

I almost got distracted and stepped into the artificial lake in front of me!

Yu Zhe quickly put his arm around her waist and pulled her back, saying, "You're really engrossed in watching this!"

But this just shows how satisfied she was with the gift.

When Yu Zhe looked closely at her face, he found that her heterochromatic eyes were already filled with tears.

"You cried?"

Yu Zhe wasn't too worried.

Because she still has a smile on her face.

Perhaps laughing and crying at the same time is the emotion that one can only experience when one is extremely happy.

"She didn't cry..."

Mo Lingyun used her black and white coat and wide sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She watched the entire fireworks display with great care in Yu Zhe's arms, afraid of missing even a single detail.

She lowered her head, still wanting more, only after the sky had returned to calm.

"It's been so long since I've seen fireworks..."

Yu Zhe also reminisced: "Yes, you loved fireworks when you were little. Every time someone set them off in the yard or nearby, you would run out to watch."

"Do you remember? You said you wanted to go see the fireworks display in Cangming City, and I promised you."

"Before we could even see the fireworks, that thing happened in your family. I've always felt really bad about it. It's the same time of year, so let's make up for that promise this time, okay? Next year I'll take you to Cangming City to see the real fireworks festival."

As he recalled the past, Yu Zhe could feel the girl in his arms tremble.

Almost reflexively, she hugged Yu Zhe tightly, sobbing softly as she called his name.

"Brother Yuzhe... thank you... thank you for remembering... sob... thank you so much for still remembering..."

"Don't cry... It's nothing, isn't it the least you can do?"

Her crying made even Yu Zhe's eyes well up with tears.

He has a good memory; just now, when the past was mentioned, those scenes reappeared before his eyes.

Yun'er was such a vibrant girl back then; her optimism was probably no less than that of Xiao Lizhi today.

The memories of her skipping and hopping to find Yu Zhe, clinging to him and asking him to take her to the fireworks festival, are so vivid.

What carefree and innocent children they are!

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and a single mishap could isolate her from the world for ten years.

When you reappeared in front of me, you were still you, but you became more prone to tears.

Yu Zhe had never seen her cry before.

Even if they fall while running, they just get up, laugh a couple of times, and then continue running and playing.

"I won't cry anymore, Brother Yuzhe will hate me for being like this."

Yu Zhe was surprised that while she was thinking about these things, Mo Lingyun had already adjusted her emotions and her tone was no longer sad.

“Let’s go, Brother Yuzhe! It’s almost Chinese New Year, and I want to see Sister Yuche too! Hmm… and your little sister whom you just adopted, well, it’s been ten years already.”

"Yun'er..."

Sigh, that's why I'm surrounded by people who are all too sensible.

She's so sensible it's almost heartbreaking.

But after she finally managed to adjust her state, Yu Zhe was no longer like that. He took Mo Lingyun's hand and continued walking from the lakeside toward the building where Yu Zhe lived, a building that was also very familiar to Yun'er.

....................

"Hey brother! Come quick! This thing is so interesting! We already ordered two, and if you don't come soon, they'll all be gone!"

"Su! Yu! Che! Did I tell you to order?!"

Seeing Yu Che holding a lighter, squatting in front of a large fireworks box, about to light the fuse, Yu Zhe was so frightened that he quickly ran over and carried her several meters away.

Yu Zhe pointed at her forehead and said, "Didn't I just tell you to go find Uncle Lin to set off some fireworks? Didn't I specifically say that you absolutely can't light them yourself?! You've never done it before, you know how dangerous these things are!"

"Waaah...but...brother, ask Zixiao instead!"

Before leaving, Yu Zhe did ask her and Zi Xiao to find the fireworks in the warehouse, but he also emphasized that the Su family's old butler, Lin Mu'an, must light the fireworks to avoid any danger.

This situation really infuriated Yu Zhe. You dared to wave at me just now?

Mo Lingyun, Lu Ling, and Lu Yao, who had been following behind Yu Zhe, also quickly jogged over here.
