Shi Anan was looking at the fireworks seriously, but she didn't notice that someone was also looking at her seriously.

In Xiao Yi's eyes at this moment, Shi Anan is a more brilliant existence than these fireworks.

In the past, he was said to be a loner by everyone. Everyone was concerned about his identity, and except for his parents and younger brother, almost no one dared to approach him casually. Of course, he himself did not want others to approach him.

The things he liked were also said by everyone to be not presentable. As the son of the Duke of Weiguo, he did not study literature to enter officialdom, nor did he learn martial arts to inherit his father's legacy. Instead, he loved to do things that only lowly craftsmen would do.

But with the indulgence and protection of his family, he was fearless and did what he liked.

It was not until his father was convicted that he suddenly hated what he had done. If he was good at making connections, if he could gain a certain position in the officialdom, then he would not be so helpless at that time. When his father was in trouble, he couldn't even find anyone who could help their family.

Although his father did not blame him, and even comforted him by saying that this was the emperor's will, no matter how many family connections they had, they could not change the outcome.

But he knew that was not the case. There were more than just their family that posed a threat to the emperor. It was just that the roots of other families were too deep, and the emperor would be hesitant to take action. However, their family only relied on his father. As long as his father was dealt with, their family would no longer be threatened.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt extremely frustrated about his own failure. If it weren't for taking care of his mother and brother, he might not have been able to hold on.

But all this changed drastically after meeting Shi An'an.

Some people are not afraid of his indifference and aloofness, and will come up to talk to him enthusiastically, tease him and give him nicknames.

Some people would not mind that his hobbies were not presentable, but instead expressed great love and appreciation for his craftsmanship. Although a large part of the reason was because the person was short of money, being able to help her in his own way also gave him great comfort.

In front of her, he doesn't need to hide his true nature. When he talks to her about things that interest him, she will listen to his opinions with great patience. He feels that getting along with her is a very easy thing, so easy that he can easily let her into his life.

Later, when he learned that Shi Anan was the daughter of the Shi family who used to live next door to them, he wondered if his life would have been more interesting if he had known her earlier, and he could have done his best to give her a better life.

But then I thought again, if I had met her in my previous identity, I might have been restricted by worldly views, which would have hindered our interaction.

But no matter what, meeting her was the luckiest thing in his life.

Xiao Yi stared at Shi Anan in a daze for quite a long time, so long that even a person as rough as Shi Anan could not ignore the burning gaze he felt.

She followed the line of sight and saw Xiao Yi, whose appearance looked even more stunning under the fireworks. The little beauty became even more handsome after growing a year older.

His temperament has gradually transformed from a teenager to a more manly one, and after experiencing so much, his personality has become more mature and stable.

Shi Anan looked back generously, and when their eyes met, Xiao Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he shifted his gaze nervously.

But how could Shi Anan give up such a good opportunity not to tease Xiao Piaoliang?

She walked through a few people and squeezed next to Xiao Yi, who looked at her in surprise.

Shi Anan always pushed him with her arm and said, "What are you looking at, pretty girl?"

"I didn't see anything." Xiao Yi avoided her collision calmly.

"Nonsense, the look you gave me just now almost devoured me, what were you thinking about!" Shi Anan glanced sideways.

"I didn't!" Xiao Yi said loudly. His ears turned red in an instant, but it was too dark and it concealed it well.

Shi Anan was frightened by his sudden loud voice and trembled for a moment, mumbling, "No, no, I was just joking, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Xiao Yi pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

Shi Anan had returned to normal by then: "Hey! Aren't the fireworks beautiful? I spent a lot of money on them!"

"Yeah." The fireworks are beautiful, and you are even more beautiful, Xiao Yi added silently in his heart.

Shi Anan was somewhat dissatisfied with his indifferent reaction and looked at him unhappily.

Xiao Yi's eyelashes trembled. With a strong desire to survive, he took out a bracelet and handed it to Shi Anan before she could question him.

Shi Anan's attention was indeed attracted by the bracelet: "Wow, look at this carefully. Did you make this yourself?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yi replied.

"Then...is this a gift for me?" Shi Anan's eyes rolled.

"Yeah." Xiao Yi continued to respond.

"This is almost right. Look, doesn't it look nice?" Shi Anan put on the bracelet happily and showed it to him like a treasure.

"It looks good." This time Xiao Yi finally said one more word.

"Thank you for the New Year's gift, but I didn't prepare any for you. You won't blame me, will you?" It seemed that she had always received more gifts from Xiao Yi, and she didn't give him anything. Shi Anan felt a little guilty for a rare time.

But Xiao Yi didn't think so. The knowledge she gave him was a priceless treasure.

"You've already given a lot." Xiao Yi said.

Shi Anan chuckled: "Little pretty, you are really easy to satisfy!"

"It's midnight, Xiao Yi, Happy New Year!"

Xiao Yi also looked at her with a smile: "An An, Happy New Year!"

After the Chinese New Year, the first good news of the new year came out, that is, the snowfall finally stopped!

Although the temperature has not risen yet, does the cessation of snowfall mean that this extreme cold is finally coming to an end?

Not to mention others, even Shi Anan was looking forward to it very much, mainly because if they didn't go there soon, they would soon run out of food.

The last wave of food was obtained thanks to the cold-resistant seeds provided by the system. Even in the cooling weather, they still managed to harvest a wave. If it was only for the few dozen people who ate it, it would last for quite some time.

But now the population of Guangming Village has expanded to 239 people, and food is beginning to run out. She is eager to start spring farming.

But there is no point in rushing. Unless the temperature rises, it will be useless for her to be anxious.

Although she comforted herself in this way, when she saw Xiao Yi's leisurely look, Shi Anan felt inexplicably unhappy: "Little beauty! Is there a flower on that pistol? You hold it all day long. I'm talking about food. Did you hear me?"

Yes, Xiao Yi's interest is now completely attracted by the pistol that Shi Anan used to kill the wolf before. As for why he got this pistol, it all started from the previous New Year's Eve.

Shi Anan felt guilty for accepting Xiao Yi's gift without preparing any gift for him. After thinking about it, she realized that Xiao Yi liked weapons, and he had not yet started researching and manufacturing the Zhuge Crossbow for various reasons, so she gave him her own pistol.

This time, Xiao Yi was like a child who got a new toy. The toy was all he had in his eyes and heart. He could no longer see her and even ignored her when she spoke!

Xiao Yi put down his gun helplessly. What else could he do if the temperature didn't rise? "Then I'll make more things for you to exchange for money and buy food from the gods?"

"My little beauty, you are now better at taking shortcuts than I am!" Everyone knew that she was asked to go to the system mall to exchange food.

"But we don't need it for now. I still have some food I took from your house before, which is enough to last until spring. But it's not impossible for you to make more things for me in exchange for money." Anyway, just stop fiddling with that little pistol.
