You're not planning to open at all, are you?

Seeing that Bai Jiu didn't respond, Ji Jiang strode towards him: "Why did you come out of the store? I went back to find you for a long time."

Bai Jiu stared at him blankly, without any response.

"Xiao Jiu?"

Ji Jiang frowned, and patted Bai Jiu's shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Bai Jiu snapped back to his senses, looked at the lamp in Ji Jiang's hand: "...have you gone to buy a lamp?"

"Well," Ji Jiang stuffed the lantern into Bai Jiu's hand, "here."

The handle of the lamp still carries the temperature of Ji Jiang's palm, Bai Jiu holds the lamp, staring at the wick that continues to glow.

Ji Jiang looked at the crowd wearing Hanfu beside him: "I forgot to tell you, this is also a feature of the garden."

Bai Jiu nodded: "Well... let's go to the lantern festival."

……

After walking for a while, Ji Jiang still felt something was wrong.

Ji Jiang frowned: "Xiao Jiu."

"Ok?"

"Are you in a bad mood?"

"No, why do you ask that?"

"It's just a feeling..." Ji Jiang said, "You seem a little lost."

Bai Jiu answered very softly, almost inaudible: "No, I just... haven't come out for a long time."

……

The lantern show was very lively, and all kinds of small activities and performances were very exciting. The two watched and discussed, and soon it was time to set off the fireworks.

The benefits of VIP tickets were reflected, and they directly entered the viewing area in the front row.

Bai Jiu and Ji Jiang found a corner with fewer people and looked up at the night sky.

The surrounding lights were bright, but the night sky could not be seen clearly.

Bai Jiu was a little disappointed: "It's too bright."

"Wait a minute." Ji Jiang said patiently.

……

The ten o'clock bell struck on time, and the vision suddenly darkened.

Bai Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to find that all the surrounding lights were turned off.

He looked at Ji Jiang, and before he could speak, he heard a soft "bang" in the distance.

Bai Jiu immediately turned his head and saw a firework blooming in the dark night sky.

His eyes lit up instantly.

Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks suddenly rose into the sky, lighting up the night sky. The vast and deep night was decorated like a grand dream by the fireworks that were rushing to bloom at this moment.

Countless people cheered, New Year's greetings were everywhere, Bai Jiu's mouth curled up a little bit, and he finally smiled.

He looked at Ji Jiang: "Happy New Year."

Ji Jiang also smiled: "Happy New Year."

……

It was already late when the two left the park, Ji Jiang sent Bai Jiu home, but Bai Jiu still insisted on watching the Spring Festival Gala, Ji Jiang had no choice but to sit with him in front of the sofa in the living room and watch the show.

"Where are the people in your family?" Bai Jiu thought it was only when he thought of this question, he turned to look at Ji Jiang, "If you don't go home during the Chinese New Year, don't they say you?"

"They went abroad," Ji Jiang said. "A relative invited them a few years ago, and they left a week ago."

Bai Jiu looked at him with sympathy: "You don't even have a son?"

Ji Jiang smiled: "No."

Bai Jiu still wanted to laugh at him, but suddenly remembered that Ji Jiang had quarreled with his family before, and Ji Jiang came out of his own family, so he stopped laughing immediately.

Seeing his expression change, Ji Jiang asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your family..." Bai Jiu considered his choice of words, "Have you not accepted it yet?"

"Well," Ji Jiang said calmly.

Bai Jiu felt helpless: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Just do it like this," Ji Jiang said, "If they make achievements, they will shut up themselves."

Bai Jiu gave a thumbs up: "Ambition."

Ji Jiang changed the subject: "So you have to work hard, even if I'm not popular and you are, I can still say that I'm Bai Jiu's friend when I go out in the future, how much face I have."

"..." For a while, Bai Jiu didn't understand whether Ji Jiang was joking or serious, but after seeing the smile on the corner of Ji Jiang's mouth, he realized it.

A pillow was thrown over, and Bai Jiu scolded him with a smile: "Get angry yourself, don't rub my heat."

"You're being a bit ruthless."

"Let's go!"

……

Laughing and making noise, twelve o'clock finally arrived.

The host on TV was counting down, and Bai Jiu ran to get a bottle of Coke.

"Celebrate!"

He bought a beautiful wine glass, and then poured a glass of Coke for Ji Jiang and himself.

Ji Jiang looked at the wine glass, as if he wanted to say something, but Bai Jiu looked back: "I don't drink, it's not like you don't know."

"Okay," Ji Jiang nodded, "Coke is fine too."

Bai Jiu raised his glass to him: "Happy New Year."

Ji Jiang smiled: "I have to say it again."

"Of course," Bai Jiu said, "There is no shortage of auspicious words."

After saying this sentence, Bai Jiu felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he was amused.

"Blessings?"

"Auspicious? Seasonal fall?"

"Season!"

He read it a few more times. At first, Ji Jiang just let him talk indifferently, but finally couldn't help it anymore, put down the wine glass in his hand, and rushed towards Bai Jiu.

"do not talk."

"Hahahaha!" Seeing his reaction, Bai Jiu laughed more wantonly, "Auspicious? Auspicious! Hahahaha..."

Ji Jiang's face turned red, and he held down Bai Jiu who was rolling around laughingly on the sofa: "Stop talking!"

"Turned into anger?" Bai Jiu continued to laugh while pushing him, "Auspicious..."

Ji Jiang regretted making him think of this, but couldn't move him, so he grabbed his arm angrily, and pressed him firmly on the sofa: "Let's talk again?"

This move was real, Bai Jiu instantly felt a little pain in his arms and back.

"Hey!" Bai Jiu complained with a smile, "I was wrong! It hurts, let go."

"Then you are not allowed to say it."

Bai Jiu still wanted to laugh, but seeing Ji Jiang's face turned red from the corner of his eye, he showed kindness and held back.

But within a second, Bai Jiu couldn't help but ask again: "But when you debut in the future, won't fans know about this meme?"

"..." Ji Jiang pursed his lips, "They say whatever they want, you can't."

"Why?" Bai Jiu objected immediately, "It's not fair, why can't I call you that?"

"You..." Ji Jiang was a little dumb for a moment, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

Bai Jiu started laughing again: "Ji Jiang, didn't you realize that you are so thin-skinned?"

"Don't be shy, I won't really laugh at you."

"Huh? Season fall?"

Seeing that Bai Jiu started again, Ji Jiang gritted his teeth and forced out two words: "...Bai Jiu."

Hearing Ji Jiang started calling his full name, Bai Jiu knew he was really annoyed, so he stopped immediately.

"Okay, I'm joking, I really don't make trouble."

Seeing that Ji Jiang didn't intend to let go, Bai Jiu could only beg for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong, let go."

Just as Ji Jiang was about to let go, he was taken aback suddenly.

"What did you call me?"

Bai Jiu smiled: "Brother, aren't you already one year older than me?"

"You just called brother."

Bai Jiu frowned: "... Is there a difference?"

But Ji Jiang was very persistent: "Call again."

Bai Jiu: "...are you sick?"

"If you call again, I'll let you go." Ji Jiang insisted.

"...Are you a pervert?" Bai Jiu stared at him speechlessly, and at the same time, with a backhand, he got out from under Ji Jiang's body, and kicked him to relieve his anger.

Ji Jiang stood up, with a look of regret that his wish had not been fulfilled.

……

"...I'm going back." Ji Jiang said.

"Well," Bai Jiu said, "Be careful on the road."

When Ji Jiang walked to the door, he looked back at him again, and Bai Jiu was puzzled by him: "Why?"

"Aren't you going to keep me?"

Bai Jiu's eyes widened: "It's not that you have no place to live, why should I keep you?"

"It's late." Ji Jiang pointed to the watch hanging on the living room of Bai Jiu's house.

Bai Jiu snorted coldly: "Don't you always stay up late, it's only twelve o'clock and it's too late?"

Ji Jiang: "...Okay."

……

Watching Ji descend into the elevator, Bai Jiu closed the door, turned and went back to the living room, the room suddenly became quiet, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

After tidying up the living room, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep anyway, he tossed and turned, all he could think of was the scene when Ji Jiang held the peach blossom lantern and walked towards him with a smile when he was at the lantern festival just now.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep, so Bai Jiu turned over and looked at the address book with his mobile phone.

……

As soon as Qin Xiu closed his eyes, he was awakened by the phone ringing.

While regretting that he didn't turn off the phone earlier, he gritted his teeth and scolded which little bastard called him at this time.

Seeing the two cars with capitalized "Bai Jiu" on the phone interface, Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and swallowed all the swear words.

"...Brother Bai, it's almost here, don't tell you I called me to celebrate the New Year."

"..." Suddenly realizing that he forgot to send a happy new year to Qin Xiu at night, Bai Jiu was a little ashamed, but soon he babbled nonsense without changing his expression, "Yeah, I just finished watching the Spring Festival Gala, so I want to tell you a happy new year."

"..." Qin Xiu gritted his teeth, "Then I really thank you."

"...You're welcome." Bai Jiu fell silent, obviously not knowing what to say.

Qin Xiu was sleepy and desperate: "Brother Bai, Brother Jiu, do you have anything else to do? I'm really sleepy, please let me sleep."

"Okay, it's useless to ask for you," Bai Jiu turned over, "Go to sleep."

Qin Xiu heard that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he managed to pull himself together: "What's wrong with you? Didn't the filming go well?"

"It went well, it's over."

Qin Xiu continued to ask: "Then what company are you worrying about signing in the future?"

"No, Supreme Entertainment and Entertainment Fashion asked me to sign a contract some time ago, but I didn't accept it."

"..." Qin Xiu heard a little despair on the other end of the phone, "Are you leaving me here to show off?"

"No, I'm just..." Bai Jiu thought for a while and said, "I can't sleep."

"Then why don't you look for Ji Jiang?" Qin Xiu yawned, "Aren't you always looking for Ji Jiang for everything?"

Bai Jiu was a little puzzled: "...Is this how I am?"

"That's right," Qin Xiu said, "You two were inseparable before, and now you're in the same school, and you're even conjoined twins. Every time I can't find you, it's always right to ask Ji Jiang."

Bai Jiu blinked: "Then... Is it not good for me to rely on one person so much?"

Even though Qin Xiu was too sleepy to open his eyes, he still insisted on rolling his eyes: "Isn't it too late for you to ask this now?"

He concluded again: "Anyway, you two, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. I think it is very good and suitable."
