As we sat down to eat, Zhao Duo's eyes constantly glared at Mu Qinghua, but Mu Qinghua didn't seem to see it. Instead, we took care of Xiaomei together.

Zhao Duo, who was standing at the side, felt somewhat disheartened, but she was not discouraged. She picked up some food for Mu Qinghua and helped him drink. After a while, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious as well.

Zhao Duo started to talk about the topic of beauty ever since she was young. She talked about He Jia's return and the fact that she wanted to take the child back, but she refused to give him any money.

Mu Qinghua sighed, "8 o'clock, how do you plan on dealing with this matter?"

Little Mimi was listening with her eyes wide, as if she had heard the adults say her name, and so she stopped eating and listened to us with her eyes wide open.

I winked at Mu Qinghua, implying that he was extremely intelligent and could sometimes understand some of our conversations. Mu Qinghua understood, so we changed the topic to the Spring Festival. We all wished each other well and said happy toast during the Spring Festival.

Speaking of my plans for the future, I laughed and cried. To be honest, Liu Da had been taken away by Gu Yifei. When I thought of opening for business next year, my scalp started to explode.

Mu Qinghua told me that he had a relative who was also a chef, but what he was good at was hot pot, and the prepared flavor was especially good. "If Gu Yi Fei still has the heart to run a restaurant next year, once Liu Da goes over, there won't be much business here.

Mu Qinghua gave me an idea and I couldn't help but be tempted.

He raised his glass and looked at Qing Hua respectfully, "Mu Jing, thank you! "Now that you put it this way, I really do have a ray of hope. Take a look. If Gu Yifei runs a restaurant after Spring Festival, help me find your relatives …"

"Alright, 8 o'clock. We can be considered to be very familiar with each other now. Don't call me 'Mu Jing' from now on."

"Then what do I call you?" I looked at Mu Qinghua and couldn't help laughing.

"When I was in university, my junior brothers and sisters all liked to call me Brother Hua, you can just call me Brother Hua." Mu Qinghua looked at me and smiled.

"Alright, alright. Then I'll go call 'Brother Hua' as well. Come, eight o'clock. We'll respect Brother Hua together!" Zhao Duo said excitedly and dragged me along to admire Qinghua.

Finally, the atmosphere was very good. After a few people finished eating, Mu Qinghua helped me look after Little Xun Mei while Zhao Duo and I went to the kitchen to clean up. The few of us sat there to watch TV for a while longer before Mu Qinghua left.

That night, I took Xiaomei's New Year's Eve with me. Although it was a bit cold, it didn't feel anything.

After all, a child who had grown up bitterly was nothing.

After dinner, we looked at the Spring Festival Gala together. Xiaomei fell asleep and coaxed her to sleep. Then I wiped Xu Ziyin's body.

No matter what, tomorrow is the first day of the new year. Although he still doesn't know anything, but I am taking care of him now, so I must let him pass the new year cleanly.

I wiped him, changed his clothes, and sat alone on the balcony, staring up at the sky.

I thought about all this quietly, imagining what would happen next year. Although I was only twenty-four years old, I had the feeling that I had seen everything, or maybe even the feeling that I had seen it all through.

A new year is about to begin. So, what will be waiting for me?

Staring at the stars in the sky, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I just stared out the window at the moonlight.

Suddenly!

My cell phone rang.

Who would call me on New Year's Eve?

Afraid of waking up Xiaomei, I grabbed the phone in my hand as fast as I could and picked it up without even looking at who it was.

A man's breath came on the line, but no one spoke for a long time.

"Speak." I picked up the phone, feeling a little flustered. "You talk, you are... Yufan, right? "

I don't know why, but from the other party's breathing, I actually determined without a doubt that it was Lin Yufan.

"I... It's downstairs in your house. " Lin Yufan had clearly drunk a lot of wine. I could hear that his words were no longer as quick as they were.

I saw Xiaomanmei was sleeping soundly, so I hurried to the bathroom, washed my face, and combed my hair. No matter what, I didn't want to see Lin Yufan in a listless manner.

I put on my coat and ran out.

I was wearing my coat as I anxiously searched the courtyard for Lin Yufan's car. Suddenly, I saw the lights of a car flashing. Although I couldn't see which car it was nor the license plate number, I felt that it was Lin Yufan's car.

I ran toward the car almost without hesitation.

Standing outside the passenger seat, I wanted to confirm if it was Lin Yufan's car. At this moment, the door of the passenger seat opened.

I saw Lin Yufan glance at me before leaning on the steering wheel.

The interior of the carriage was filled with the smell of alcohol. I sat in the passenger seat and stared blankly at Lin Yufan.

I could see that he had drunk too much, too much, and the way he had looked up at me, his eyes were unnaturally red, but his eyelids were clearly lifted with difficulty.

"You dare to drink so much? "You're still driving a car, how dangerous …" I looked at Lin Yufan and said with heartache.

Lin Yufan used all his strength to lean against the back seat. He lifted his tired eyes and pulled me into his arms.

"Eight …" Lin Yufan shouted my name, and that hug of his suddenly increased its strength as I rolled into his embrace.

I still didn't understand what was going on. Lin Yufan's kiss, with a strong smell of alcohol, came blotting out the sky.

I discovered that I was completely unable to resist Lin Yufan. In the past, I couldn't do it, and now, I can't either.

Lin Yufan felt the constraint of the space in front of him, so he wrapped a coat around me and carried me to the back.

I shivered. Lin Yufan said, "Cold, is it?" Then she threw her coat over me, stretched her arms out to warm the wind, and covered me with it.
