Early the next morning, it was Lunar New Year's Eve.
At eight o'clock, Luo Ye came downstairs and ate the breakfast Aunt Li Hui had made.
Meanwhile, his uncle-in-law was reading.
Though it was Lunar New Year's Eve, there was not much going on at home.
Chen Shaoman looked at Luo Ye. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Xiao Ye, the time you arranged to meet Zhouzhou was the day after tomorrow, right?"
"It was, originally."
"Originally?"
Chen Shaoman looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Did something happen?"
"Nothing. It's just that things have been pretty tense outside lately, so I thought safety came first. We can meet after things settle down."
"That's true. Safety comes first. It's better to go out less."
Aunt nodded, agreeing with that sentiment.
Compared to other places, Beijing was still very safe, even if it was not as lively as usual.
It was just that if the start of school was delayed, he had no idea when he would be able to see Fairy Senior Sister again.
Luo Ye ate as he thought, looking utterly listless.
Seeing this, Chen Shaoman said nothing.
Whether he left or stayed, Luo Ye was an adult and should make his own choice.
After breakfast, Luo Ye sat on the sofa, boredly scrolling through his phone.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, apart from everyone making a delicious meal together, there was nothing particularly special.
At the dinner table, everyone happily shared an evening meal.
Aunt Li Hui had not taken leave. Her hometown was not in Beijing, and she was somewhat worried that if she left, she might not be able to come back.
That night, Luo Ye looked at his phone as he video-called Fairy Senior Sister.
Separated by their phone screens, they said "Happy New Year"
