On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Chen Qian watched the fireworks and then watched his friends skate.

She pressed the call button with a faint smile, and then began to sort out the photos she had taken from a recent trip with Zhong Yi.

The pictures need to be processed within a week. Chen Qian plans to do other things later and only hopes that he can finish it in the first three days.

He continued to work like this until the Danish New Year's Eve. This time, Simon and Leslie were not at the door to arrange the broken porcelain pieces, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

Chi Mu still called him on time.

Chen Qian looked at the screen, trying to guess where he was. It was almost six o'clock, and he was still wearing a dark suit when the video was connected.

Chen Qian was just curious, but he didn't ask.

It's a rare opportunity for us to get in touch, and he has a lot to say and a lot to share.

Once this conversation started, there was no sign of stopping.

Chi Mu did not interrupt him, but listened attentively, only responding to his words from time to time.

Until the sound of fireworks came from outside the window, and gorgeous flowers bloomed and disappeared in the dark night sky.

The light from the flower reflected in Chen Qian's eyes, making his eyes look like a flowing magic ball, colorful.

Chen Qian turned around in surprise, taking himself and the night outside the window into the picture.

Chi Mu's eyes were not looking at the camera, which made Chen Qian feel that he was not looking at him.

But Chi Mu's eyes were full of visibly affection, and they were focused in a certain direction. Chen Qian could feel that he was looking at the other self on the screen seriously.

Unlike the monologue-like scene in the chat box, now, every word Chen Qian says can get a response from the other party.

Chi Mu's presence hasn't been so strong in a long time.

Chen Qian indulged in it unconsciously and was reluctant to end it all.

But when Chi Mu showed a hint of tiredness and paused for a few seconds before coming to his senses, he still fell silent.

He heard himself say, "We've watched the fireworks, and now it's January 1st. Let's all go and rest."

Chi Mu smiled and asked him: "Is it because you haven't seen me for too long, and the feelings have faded, so now you all say you want to go to bed early."

"What? It's because you looked tired after talking to me on the phone in the early morning!" Chen Qian wrinkled his nose and made an exaggerated expression of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, you care about me." Chi Mu shrugged obediently, and then continued: "What should I do, baby? I seem to start thinking about you the second I hang up the phone."

……

Time flies, and just two months passed in the blink of an eye.

And so the New Year arrived.

Chen Qian this year is different from when he was studying at a language school last year, mainly because he knows more Chinese people this year.

I had been thinking that I might have to spend the New Year alone this year, but unexpectedly, when I was packing up to go home after class in the morning, I was stopped by a classmate who was also a stay-at-home student.

They invited Chen Qian to celebrate the New Year and have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

Chen Qian is usually not a very active person and doesn't get along well with others, so when he heard that they were here to invite him, he felt flattered.

But he still asked the other party weakly if it would be troublesome for everyone since he couldn't cook.

The classmates who were responsible for inviting him were two girls.

Hearing his concerns, the two girls smiled and comforted him that it was okay. One of the girls with chestnut hair even said frankly that she couldn't cook either and had just been there for free food and drinks, so Chen Qian didn't need to worry.

During lunch, Chen Qian received a call from Chen Tian, ​​which was an appointment they had made several months ago.

As soon as the call was connected, Chen Qian saw Chen Tian smiling extremely happily, with a smile on his face.

He smiled and said that he had a big surprise to show Chen Qian.

Chen Qian disagreed and waved his hand, saying that he had been killing fish in RT-Mart for twenty years and nothing could shake his cold heart.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tian's camera turned away.

Chen Qian saw that the familiar round table in the old house was full of people.

Chen Qian couldn't help but feel his eyes burning with heat, and he pursed his lips to prevent himself from sobbing.

After a long "journey", the elders in the family finally returned home.

Chen Tian’s New Year’s Eve dinner returned to what it was in the past, with laughter and joy all around.

However, there was only one empty seat among the seven seats at the table, which inevitably made the joy on everyone's faces tinged with a bit of regret.

With red eyes, he greeted his family members one by one and accepted the blessings from his elders in turn.

Chen Qian's mother smiled gently, but her eyes were filled with heartache, and there was a sparkling light in her eyes. "Our Xiao Qian has grown up and can go to such a far place by herself. She has become independent."

Chen Qian also smiled: "Well, my classmates are all very nice, life is going well, and I am studying hard, so don't worry about me."

He skipped over many things, such as the discomfort he felt when he first arrived. Chen Tian said that life was a little more difficult after bankruptcy compared to before... After omitting all these hardships, he only left one sentence at the end: I'm fine, please don't worry.
