Shen Muge stood there obediently, waiting for Lu Suixin. He looked up at the fireworks in the distance. It had been many years since he felt so relaxed.

The phone in his pocket rang at an inopportune time. Shen Muge felt a headache when he saw the caller ID. Shen Muge did not answer the phone and let it ring until it was disconnected. But the other party did not seem to want to let him go at this moment, and the second call came in immediately.

Shen Muge picked up the phone, and the insults from the other end continued.

Lu Suixin came back with the spoils in her arms, and saw that Shen Muge looked unhappy, as if he was trying his best to endure him. Lu Suixin stood quietly by the side, and Shen Muge saw Lu Suixin coming over, and didn't want to waste time with him anymore, so he hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Lu Suixin asked tentatively: "Who is on the other side?"

Shen Muge: "My dad."

Lu Suixin: "Is uncle feeling unwell?"

Shen Muge shook his head and said, "No." The other party was cursing with full energy, and he didn't look sick at all.

The phone rang again. After a while, Shen Muge picked up the phone. Lu Sui Xin could hear the other party's verbal abuse so loudly that she could hear it even without turning on the speakerphone.

Seeing Shen Muge standing there quietly and letting the other party scold him, Lu Suixin thought of what Shen Muge said before, and felt that Shen Muge had an irresponsible father. She didn't know where she got the courage from, she directly snatched the phone from Shen Muge's hand, and said to the other side rudely: "Uncle, do you know that you are annoying! Don't spoil the fun during the New Year, okay? Wouldn't it be nice to lie in the ward?!" After a speech, Lu Suixin hung up the phone directly, without giving the other party any chance to refute, and then stuffed the phone into Shen Muge's hand, saying with a bit of disappointment: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, he scolded you, don't you know how to fight back! Although he is your father, his words are too harsh! How can you tolerate this!"

Seeing Shen Muge not saying anything, Lu Suixin was very angry at Shen Muge's attitude of letting him be scolded and beaten. She walked forward quickly in a huff, not looking at Shen Muge behind her.

Shen Muge trotted a few steps to catch up with Lu Suixin and asked, "Are you angry?"

Lu Sui Xin turned her head away: "Why should I be angry? Anyway, it's not me who is scolded, why should I be angry!"

Shen Muge held back his laughter and tried to sound as normal as possible: "Oh."

"Oh?!" Lu Sui Xin was broken by the word "oh" and stopped where he was, with anger in his eyes, "Is that all you can do?"

Shen Muge: "I'm sorry, I admit my mistake. Give me everything, I'll take it."

Lu Suixin pushed the thing in her arms heavily into Shen Muge's arms, causing Shen Muge to stagger. Lu Suixin was frightened and reached out to help Shen Muge, but saw Shen Muge stand firm and said, "I'm fine."

Lu Suixin withdrew his hand and glared at Shen Muge: "Who asked you to tell me? I don't care about you!"

The smile in Shen Muge's eyes became even brighter: "I care about you, okay?"

Lu Sui Xin felt a little embarrassed by what he said and reached out to scratch the back of his ear.

Shen Muge followed Lu Suixin's pace, and the two walked side by side: "That's normal. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to waste words with him. But I didn't expect you to help me scold him. I really thank you, Suixin."

Seeing that Lu Suixin didn't say anything, Shen Muge continued to talk to himself: "My mother is the company's financial manager. After my father and mother got together, I should have been happy for at least the first six years of my life."

Shen Muge: "My father started a business with a partner, but later the funding chain was cut off. My mother didn't want my father to get involved with that group of people, saying that none of them were reliable, but my father didn't believe it. He always felt that my mother blocked his way to wealth. Later, the partner secretly borrowed a lot of high-interest loans without telling my father, and finally ran away with the money when the assets were insufficient. My father was left with a huge debt."

Shen Muge: "The group of debt collectors came to my father and said that if he couldn't pay the money, they would come to my family to pay it back. My father later secretly embezzled public funds in my mother's name, tens of millions. The money was paid back, but my mother was implicated because of this matter."

Lu Suixin couldn't bear it and said, "Stop talking about those bad things."

Shen Muge smiled and said, "It's okay. I wanted to tell you. Besides, it's been so many years, and I've let it go."

Shen Muge went on to say, "The company discovered that my mother had embezzled a huge amount of public funds and eventually called the police. My mother realized something was wrong and collapsed, so she went home to confront my father. My father had been drinking heavily during that period, and he was drunk that day, so they had a big fight about it. In the end, my father picked me up by my feet and put me outside the window of a building more than 20 stories high. He said that if my mother continued to force him, he would throw me out."

Shen Muge: "My mother tried her best to comfort my father for me. Later, my father calmed down and pulled me back. When I was put down, my mother stabbed my father with a knife. Although the money was embezzled by my father and not by my mother herself, the company only believed in evidence and my mother could not avoid jail. My mother was sentenced to 30 years for intentional injury and embezzlement of public funds."

Lu Suixin: "Then your father..."

Shen Muge: "When he was young, he drank too much and hurt his body, so he has been hospitalized ever since."

Lu Sui Xin felt that she really shouldn't have lost her temper with Shen Muge just now, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened just now, I suddenly got angry at you. I just can't bear to see you not fighting back after being scolded."

Shen Muge: "It's okay, I know you're doing this for my own good. You're the first person who's been nice to me in all these years."

Lu Suixin comforted him: "There are many people around you who treat you well, your friends, your agent, and your assistant. Everyone likes you very much."

There were too many people setting off fireworks here, and Lu Sui Xin was worried that Shen Muge would be recognized, so she took Shen Muge to a place with fewer people to set off the fireworks.

Lu Sui Xin lit up the fairy stick and handed it to Shen Mu Ge, "Poor little thing, here's one for you."

Shen Muge took it in his hand with a smile, and the faint sparks lit up Shen Muge's eyes, "Thank you for your kindness."

Lu Suixin pretended to be fierce and said, "Who is your Jiaxin?"

Shen Muge: "Can't I call you that? I see grandma calls you that."

Lu Suixin: "Only grandma can call me that, you can't!"

Shen Muge: "Okay, then I'll call you our Jia Xin, okay?"

Lu Suixin: "No!"

Shen Muge: "Why?"

Lu Suixin said, "Shen Muge, you are annoying!"

Shen Muge: "Just tell me why."

Lu Suixin's cheeks were completely red, not sure if it was because of the orange-red sparks or because of Shen Muge's words, "Shen Muge, pay attention when setting off the fireworks!"

Shen Muge curled his lips: "Okay."

This side is not far from the long bridge where the fireworks are set off. Many people have already prepared fireworks and are planning to set them off when the clock strikes midnight.

When the fireworks in his hand burned out, Lu Suixin stood up, dealt with the situation, and said, "Let's go home.

Shen Muge stood up and said, "Okay."

Two people walked side by side quietly, the dim street lights shining on them. Behind them was the laughter of the crowd and the crackling sound of fireworks.

With a "bang", a huge firework not far away lit up the entire black curtain, rendering the surroundings colorful. The clock struck midnight, and Lu Suixin stopped, turned around and looked at the fireworks not far away, exclaiming: "How beautiful!"

"Shen Muge," Lu Suixin turned to look at Shen Muge and said, "Forget all the unhappiness in the past and run forward. There is a flower path ahead that belongs only to you."

Shen Muge and Lu Suixin looked at each other for a long time before answering, "Okay."

The two returned home amid the sound of firecrackers. When they got home, Grandma Lu had already gone back to her room to sleep. So Lu Suixin and Shen Muge also went back to their rooms.

The phone rang, and Lu Suixin picked up the phone. Ji Yunheng's voice came from the other side: "Lu Suixin, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Lu Suixin:? "No."

Ji Yunheng sat on the sofa in the bedroom, rubbing his brows with a headache. He waited for a long time, thinking that he would get a call or text message from Lu Suixin, but in the end, there was none. "What day is today?"

Lu Suixin thought Ji Yunheng was crazy, so she called him to ask about the calendar, "New Year's Day."

Ji Yunheng felt that he was surrounded by a sense of powerlessness, like a punch on cotton. Even after he reminded him, Lu Suixin still didn't understand. "Happy New Year!" Ji Yunheng said these four words with a feeling of gritting his teeth.

Lu Suixin was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Oh, Happy New Year."

When Ji Yunheng heard the tone, his face darkened and he hung up the phone.

Just after hanging up the phone, Ji Yunheng called again and said, "I will return to Xinghai Bay the day after tomorrow, and you must be there." After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Lu Sui Xin to answer.
