Ning Yuechen carried a basket to the highest observation deck on the third floor.

She looked up at the starry night sky, then looked at the group of staff who were having a lively dinner behind her. Then she bent down and took out the box of fairy wands from the basket, pulled out a few, and lit one of them with a lighter.

A faint but brilliant spark lit up, and she just watched it until it was about to go out, then she used the remaining flame to light a new one.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd, she just quietly admired the brilliant light among the thousands of miles of lights.

Bai Yi chatted with the old lady in the hospital for an hour until she fell asleep due to fatigue, and then returned to the company to handle affairs. When he finished all the work and returned home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

She got out of the car and walked towards her residential building. Then she heard cheers coming from above. She looked up subconsciously and saw people standing among the stars and bright lights in the night sky.

She had good eyesight, and the entire manor villa was bright and dazzling as the New Year was approaching, which was just enough for her to see the faint sadness and grief in the girl's eyes.

Bai Yi stopped and just looked up at the person who was standing alone by the railing holding a firework stick.

The other party did not notice her, and her clear and calm eyes spread from the fireworks in her hand to the night scene in the distance. She stood tall, and under the light of darkness, she exuded a kind of lonely and cold beauty.

I don't know how long I stared at him like this, until the other person turned around, Bai Yi suddenly realized that he had been staring at Ning Yuechen for a long time.

She felt inexplicably irritated in her heart, and just as she was distracted, someone suddenly patted her right shoulder. Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and the next moment she waved her hand to attack the other person.

With a scream, Bai Songan, who was thrown to the ground, looked at her in disbelief: "I'm just saying hello to you, so as not to offend you, my dear sister."

Bai Yi reached out and pulled him up, explaining without any apology: "Sorry, brother, it's a conditioned reflex, it's not directed at you."

Bai Songan was speechless. If he remembered correctly, his second sister was not spoiled, but she was also pampered. Moreover, she studied abroad for decades and studied finance. How could she reflexively throw him over her shoulder?

It hurts him so much.

But he didn't think much about it. After all, his sister was a genius, so it was not surprising that she was good at both literature and martial arts.

So I asked, "Do you want to go up there and celebrate with everyone?"

Bai Yi looked up again, and the figure came back, but this time he had changed to a different firework stick.

So I asked, “What are you celebrating?”

"It's almost New Year's Eve, and the staff at home are going to go home for the holiday. According to the New Year benefits we give to our employees, we will organize a grand dinner party on the observation deck before the New Year holiday. Not only will we invite a professional performance team to entertain everyone, but there will also be fireworks and various lucky draws. It's really interesting."

"By the way, this kind of buffet is also very delicious, and it's all made by the chef at home."

Bai Yi looked at him with some confusion, really not understanding what was interesting about this kind of activity.

Bai Songan had no idea what she was thinking and asked again, "Do you want to go up and take a look? It's so lively, and the fireworks display is about to start."

"Okay, I have nothing to do, so I'll go up and take a look." Bai Yi said.

"it is good."

Until she arrived at the observation deck, Bai Yi couldn't understand why she agreed to join her elder brother in such a boring event. Especially when she saw the lively but unusually noisy scene in front of her, she regretted it even more.

Bai Songan didn't notice her increasingly gloomy expression, and pulled her forward. Halfway through the walk, he was attracted by his favorite food and left her alone to enjoy the meal.

Bai Yi wanted to turn around and leave, but stopped uncontrollably, his eyes fixed on the figure in the distance that isolated him from the hustle and bustle.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she moved in that direction.

Qian Rong took out a new firework stick from the table beside him and handed it to Ning Yuechen, saying, "Miss, you have been setting off fireworks since you came up and haven't eaten yet. Go back and have some hot food to warm yourself up. You can play with fireworks anytime."

Ning Yuechen lit up a new firework stick and said, "Aunt Qian, I'm not hungry. Let's play for a while while everyone is here. This way we can treat it as New Year's Eve."

Hearing her say this, Aunt Qian couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help but say, "Every New Year's Eve, you either go back to the little western-style building alone, or stay here alone. You haven't had a good New Year in all these years."

As she said this, she sighed again.

Ning Yuechen just smiled faintly and said, "No, every New Year's Eve, Aunt Shi would buy me a lot of beautiful clothes, and would leave you and a few staff members to take care of me. And she would come back on the second day of the New Year to spend the New Year with me, I am very happy. But I am sorry that you have not been able to go home to reunite with your family because you have to take care of me all these years."

Hearing the guilt in her words, Qian Yi hurriedly said, "What's wrong with that? I don't have many people at home. Instead of going back and being reminded of the past, I'd rather stay here. I really feel satisfied and happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with you, Miss."

Ning Yuechen asked: "Aunt Qian, don't you miss home?"

"What is home? It is a place with family and loved ones, filled with the smell of fireworks and laughter. Although there are quarrels, it is also warm and happy. Only such a place can be called a home. Since my parents passed away and my alcoholic ex-husband accidentally drowned our only daughter, I have no home."

Ning Yuechen had never heard her talk about this experience before. After a few seconds of silence, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Aunt Qian wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. It's just a thing of the past."

She sighed and said, "Luckily, I met my wife when I came to City B to work hard, so I can live such a stable and comfortable life. For me, this is my home."

"Family?"

Ning Yuechen murmured to himself, and then slowly said: "But this is not my home."

Aunt Qian was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect her to say that. Just as she was about to speak to comfort her, she noticed someone standing behind her and hurriedly bowed her head and greeted, "Miss."

Ning Yuechen suddenly turned around and looked.

After a moment of silent staring, Ning Yuechen forced a smile on his face, handed her the new firework stick that had not yet been lit, and asked, "Do you want to set off fireworks?"

Bai Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at her with deep eyes, and then refused as her face became increasingly pale: "No."

Ning Yuechen pulled his arm back stiffly. Seeing that she still had no intention of leaving, he could only ask, "Then do you want to eat something?"

"Do you think this is a good time to eat?"

"Not suitable..." Ning Yuechen could only answer this way.

After a few seconds of silence, Ning Yuechen asked again, "The fireworks show will start soon. Do you want to watch the fireworks together?"

"What's so good about this?" Bai Yi asked again in a calm voice.

Ning Yuechen didn't know what to say now.

If he doesn't want to eat, set off fireworks, or enjoy the New Year's spectacle, then what is this person doing here?
