Lu Huaiyu turned off his phone screen after posting it and helped Ning Li to pull out a chair.

"Sit."

He then sat opposite Ning Li.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why did you wait till it was so late?"

"It's not that late."

Ning Li was not very punctual with her meals. She cared even less now since she had been rather busy these past two days.

Lu Huaiyu looked at her and laughed. "Kids need to eat more to grow taller."

Ning Li was speechless.

She was not sure why Lu Huaiyu was so obsessed with her height, or if he had some misunderstanding about her being a "kid".

Ning Li retorted softly. "Adults who don't eat on time are also prone to stomach problems."

Lu Huaiyu paused for a moment and gave her a meaningful look.

He was just as she had described, especially this year when his biological clock had been reversed. He could not readjust his sleeping time, so his three meals a day were a little problematic.

After a while, he let out a low chuckle. "Got it."

Ning Li froze.

'Got it? Got what?'

Lu Huaiyu had already started eating, so it seemed like just a casual remark.

Bang!

It was another burst of fireworks.

Lu Huaiyu looked outside.

The light of the fireworks seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

He looked at Ning Li with a gentle smile. "Lili, Happy New Year."

Ning Li held the small soup bowl that was warm and fragrant.

She had never imagined that she would one day sit face to face with Lu Huaiyu like this.

The bright fireworks outside the window greeted the new year as she held the warm bowl of soup in her hand.

Most importantly, Lu Huaiyu was here too.

It had been many years since she had celebrated New Year's because the new year and the old year made no difference to her.

There was nothing that she looked forward to, so she felt no anticipation and delight. So when she heard Lu Huaiyu's words, she was caught in a trance for a moment.

After a while, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Second Brother, Happy New Year."

...

It was peaceful where they were, but Lu Huaiyu's WeChat Moments was now abuzz.

Cheng Xiyue sat at the dining table in the Presidential Suite of the Caesar Hotel and stared at the photo as he viciously cut a piece of red wine foie gras with expensive silverware.

'No wonder Lu Huaiyu rejected my offer to bring Ning Li here to stay! So, this is what's waiting for him at home! Look at this soup! Ning Li must have made it herself, right? This punk kept such a good thing all to himself?!'

When Cheng Xiyue thought about how busy he had been all day but was now left all alone in this boring suite, he felt extremely frustrated.

'Are you rubbing it in my face that you have company?!'
