Chapter 624: Chapter 622: Love in the Spotlight

Seeing this scene, what does Si Wen not understand?

This unexpected fireworks show,

was a romantic surprise meticulously planned by Xue Yang for Lin Xi.

Si Wen involuntarily pouted, thinking to herself:

"I was really overthinking it,

I thought Xiao Xi would be aggrieved having to spend New Year’s Day studying hard with him,

but I didn’t expect he’d been secretly planning all this for a while."

Thinking of this, Si Wen shook her head with a bitter smile. Lin Xi’s character is much like hers,

a girl who loves romance. If Xue Yang isn’t truly romantic, why would she go all out for him?

"See, I always said our boss isn’t a loveless guy deep down."

Sun Yufei’s eyes were filled with envy and longing,

"If someone were to organize such a fireworks show for me, not to mention marrying him, I’d give him my life."

Hearing this, Si Wen turned her head,

rolled her eyes playfully, and said teasingly:

"You, weren’t you previously saying the opposite, egging me on to give him trouble?"

Sun Yufei laughed until her body swayed, quickly explaining:

"Oh, I was just joking around.

Our boss lady and boss have a deep bond, they wouldn’t be swayed by my few words."

Si Wen slowly took her gaze back,

turned away from the dazzling window,

and walked lightly to the sofa, sitting down elegantly,

as if cutting off the noise and excitement of the outside world.

Sun Yufei was still immersed in the splendor of the fireworks,

her eyes shining with excitement.

"Wow... Look, look! They really seem to be kissing!"

Sun Yufei’s voice was full of surprise and envy,

as if witnessing a perfect fairy tale romance firsthand.

Seeing Sun Yufei so enthusiastic about others’ romance,

Si Wen couldn’t help teasing:

"Senior, since you long for love so much, why not find your own? I think Senior Cui Hao fits you well."

Si Wen’s unexpected words,

instantly made Sun Yufei’s cheeks blush,

she shyly retorted:

"Junior, what nonsense are you talking? How could I and Senior Cui Hao..."

Seeing this, Si Wen smiled even more brightly and continued to encourage:

"Senior, if you like someone, pursue them bravely.

If not, if another girl gets to him first, it’ll be too late for regrets."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yufei’s mouth curved into a bittersweet smile:

"Stop making fun, who would like someone with a personality like Senior Cui Hao?"

Si Wen blinked, speaking mystically:

"That might not be the case, like that girl Song Fan from the milk tea shop, I think she has quite the affection for Senior Cui Hao."

At these words, Sun Yufei fell unexpectedly silent,

seeming to ponder seriously.

She gently took her phone out of her bag,

the screen lit up, reflecting her somewhat pensive face.

The notification tones sounded continuously,

greetings and shares from various people filled her screen,

but her gaze bypassed all this hustle,

focusing on the WeChat icon she anticipated the most.

However, it was all silent there, as tranquil as the deep sea,

without any ripples.

She felt a surge of complex emotions,

both helplessness at the silence,

and a slight anticipation for unknown possibilities.

Her finger hovered above the input box,

ultimately, it slowly lowered, without the courage even to press the send button,

it was as if it was a little redundant at this moment.

Just as she was about to put down her phone.

The vibration tone rang.

A text came in.

Initially, Si Wen felt a wave of impulse to ignore it,

but then, the sender’s name, like the brightest star in the night sky,

instantly lit up her eyes,

making her heartbeat accelerate a little.

Almost simultaneously,

Si Wen eagerly reached for her phone,

her fingertip gently tapped, and the text message appeared before her eyes.

Her gaze was filled with expectation and nervousness,

as if about to open a door to an unknown world.

[Sister Si Wen, Happy New Year!]

—This warm blessing was like winter sunlight,

gently falling from Xue Xing’s fingertips, penetrating the phone screen,

straight into Si Wen’s heart.

The familiar name "Xue Xing" of the sender,

like magic, instantly dispelled all the gloom in her heart.

Yes, this text was indeed from Xue Xing.

The unexpected joy came in waves,

washing away all Si Wen’s prior emptiness and loneliness.

She couldn’t help murmuring to herself:

"This kid, I thought he had long forgotten about this."

Just when Si Wen’s finger lightly touched the keyboard,

ready to reply to Xue Xing with an equally warm wish,

the phone vibrated again, interrupting her train of thought.

A new text appeared playfully and helplessly on the screen:

[Sister Si Wen, no need to reply. This is a scheduled message, my mom unfortunately took my phone, even if you reply, I won’t receive it, haha!]

—Between the lines, it seemed one could glimpse Xue Xing’s awkward and sly look when sending this text.

After reading it, Si Wen couldn’t help being amused by the innocence and cleverness,

her mouth curved into a gentle smile, chuckling softly:

"Haha—this kid, really makes one both annoyed and amused."

This movement of Si Wen’s undoubtedly caught Sun Yufei’s attention.

She silently approached in front of Si Wen.

Seeing the name on the phone, with a knowing expression.

She didn’t break Si Wen’s hard-earned warm moment, returning quietly to the window.

Her gaze turned to another couple attracting everyone’s attention.

Their love appeared extraordinarily radiant under the sun,

as if the entire world was cheering for them.

Sun Yufei watched quietly,

perhaps silently blessing every sincere emotion in her heart,

whether it was Si Wen nearby,

or that eye-catching couple in the distance.

"New Year’s Day 2016, really is a day to look forward to."

On the other side,

the splendid fireworks show gradually drew to an end, like a grand farewell ceremony,

staining the night sky with a final magnificent brush.

The crowd swayed like the tide, but under the careful guidance of police officers and security,

maintained a rare order and harmony, slowly dispersing,

leaving behind a string of laughter echoing in the cold night.

On the platform, Lin Xi nestled in Xue Yang’s embrace,

their figures appeared exceptionally warm and sweet under the darkening sky.

They seemed to be in a world solely belonging to the two of them,

unrelated to the noise and disturbances outside, only each other’s heartbeat and breath interwoven into the most melodious symphony.

Unnoticed when, snowflakes had quietly stopped,

cloaking the city in a pristine white veil.

The whole world became pure and tranquil,

as if even the air was filled with an inexplicable beauty.

The entire city, at this moment, was enveloped by this tranquility and beauty,

frozen into a breathtaking winter portrait.
