I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing looked at each other, with a trace of uneasiness flashing in their eyes. Then, they stood up almost at the same time. They could feel the tension in each other's hearts without speaking.

Pei Yanqing's brows were furrowed, and his voice was low and slightly worried: "Brother, what is that sound? Is there something going on outside?"

Pei Jingchuan also had a solemn look on his face. He quickly walked to the stairs, turned back to Pei Yanqing and said, "I'll go up and take a look. You wait for me here."

Pei Yanqing immediately objected: "No, I also want to go together. If anything happens, we can help each other."

Pei Jingchuan looked at Pei Yanqing's firm eyes and knew that any persuasion would be in vain, so he nodded: "Okay, let's hurry up, but be careful."

Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing walked up the stairs quietly, each step sounding extremely cautious. In this quiet night, any sound seemed to be amplified several times.

Their hearts were full of uncertainty. They didn't know what was going on upstairs. They just suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts and cautiously explored upwards.

Just as they were about to continue walking up, the tense atmosphere was broken by a sudden scolding.

The voice clearly spread throughout the entire stairwell - Lin Ruoyun was scolding Pei Tianxiong severely.

The voice was full of helplessness: "How come you can't change your bad habit of smoking! Why don't you put out your cigarette quickly!"

The tense atmosphere in the stairwell was broken by a small dispute between Pei Tianxiong and Lin Ruoyun.

Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing looked at each other and smiled, and all their worries disappeared instantly.

They gently returned to the living room, the pace between each other became much more relaxed, and the tacit understanding between brothers was more obvious.

Back on the sofa, Pei Jingchuan picked up the remote control again and switched between TV channels at will.

Pei Yanqing, on the other hand, leaned lazily on the sofa, and the two of them fell into the tranquility before.

Pei Jingchuan suddenly lowered his voice and broke the silence: "Is your work going well recently? I heard that your project there is quite challenging."

Pei Yanqing turned his head, a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes: "Well, it's indeed quite busy. But it's also very fulfilling. I solve problems every day. Sometimes I feel a lot of pressure, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I think that I can push the project forward. "

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face: "Your positive attitude towards facing challenges is very good. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't forget to take some time for yourself and relax appropriately."

Pei Yanqing smiled slightly and took a deep breath: "That's right. I see that you have been very busy recently, so don't forget to take care of yourself."

Although the conversation between the two was only a few brief sentences, it revealed their deep concern for each other.

During the quiet late-night chat between Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing, the big clock in the living room slowly reached 12 o'clock.

As the last bell struck, the whole room seemed to be infected by this solemn moment. The two of them stopped talking in unison and looked up at the ancient clock.

At this moment, Uncle Zhou walked down the stairs quietly. He originally thought that the living room was already empty by this time, and everyone in the family had fallen asleep.

However, when he saw Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing still sitting on the sofa, obviously surprised by their presence, there was a trace of surprise on his face.

"Master, Second Master, are you still awake?" The housekeeper tried to hide his surprise, his tone full of concern.

Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly and replied: "Well, we decided to stay up late. Tonight feels extra special, doesn't it?" His voice was relaxed, as if that moment was what they wanted to treasure.

Pei Yanqing also nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, it's been a long time since I sat down and chatted quietly like this. It feels good."

When Uncle Zhou saw the two young masters deciding to keep the New Year's Eve together, the surprise on his face gradually turned into a smile.

He turned around and returned to the storage room. After a while, he returned to the living room with a bundle of firecrackers in his hand and said with a mysterious smile: "Since we have decided to stay up late, how can we forget about firecrackers? This is our family tradition and a must to welcome the New Year." Prepare."

Pei Yanqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and reached out to take the firecracker.

"Let me do it, I promise not to let them all explode in the yard." His voice was full of excitement.

However, Pei Jingchuan seemed to be uneasy about Pei Yanqing's "guarantee" and snatched the firecracker from his hand.

The tone was half joking and half serious: "I think it's safer for me to come, and you can just watch from the side."

Pei Yanqing pretended to be unwilling to pout, but he was soon amused by Pei Jingchuan's behavior. He knew that his brother was caring about him.

Then, the two of them walked out of the mansion with Uncle Zhou and came to the yard.

The night sky is cold and starry, and the surroundings are quiet. Only the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance heralds the coming of the New Year.

Pei Jingchuan found a suitable place and carefully placed the firecrackers. His movements were meticulous and focused, and he did not miss every small detail.

Pei Yanqing stood aside with a lighter in his hand and an expectant smile on his face.

"Remember to run fast, don't get blown up." Pei Jingchuan looked at Pei Yanqing with half concern and half warning.

Pei Yanqing smiled and responded: "I know, brother, don't get too close."

Then, Pei Yanqing lit the fuse of the firecracker, and the two quickly retreated, keeping a safe distance.

In an instant, there was a flash of fire, and the fuse of the firecracker was completely ignited, followed by a series of loud explosions, lighting up the entire courtyard and the faces of the two people.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, but more of it is the joy of the New Year and the warmth of home.

Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing stood aside, looking at the fire blooming in the sky, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"This feels so good." Pei Yanqing couldn't help but sigh, her voice full of happiness.

Pei Jingchuan nodded, also filled with emotion: "Yes, I haven't felt this way for a long time."

Welcome the New Year with the sound of firecrackers. For Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing, this is not only a traditional way of celebration, but also a spiritual release.

The tacit understanding and emotions between them have been deepened at this moment, and this special experience of staying up late will become a precious memory in their hearts.

As the last firecrackers dissipated, the night sky became calm again.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then walked back to their warm home together.

When Pei Jingchuan and Pei Yanqing entered the warm home, they unexpectedly found Jiang Xianmei standing at the top of the stairs.

He was holding an empty glass in his hand, and he had obviously just poured a glass of water to drink.

Her appearance was a little unexpected at this time, but it also added a touch of home warmth.

Pei Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, and said gently: "Auntie, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
