How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"It's okay, I'll be fine on my own for a while." Ye Yueyue lowered her eyelashes.

The girl's voice was low, which made his heart involuntarily jump.

"You still have us."

"Ah."

That was the last time.

The quiet classroom was filled only with the elder's voice and the occasional sound of a gentle breeze. Ming Qiuyang didn't listen to anything, his gaze occasionally falling on the girl beside him.

……

After class, she went to Jian Youqing's place.

Upon seeing her, Ye Yueyue exclaimed, "Qingbao, I missed you!"

A smile unconsciously appeared on Jian Youqing's face.

The two were walking on the main peak.

"Qingbao, shall we spend this year together? Waaah, I want to go home, but it's so far away." Ye Yueyue pitifully whined to her.

"Going home? Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can go back through the teleportation array."

Jian Youqing patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"Hmm!" Ye Yueyue paused and sighed.

The home she was referring to wasn't the secular world, but the blue Earth, the 21st century.

Jian Youqing thought she was worried about her cultivation, so she comforted her, "Yuebao's cultivation is progressing very quickly, and she won't be far from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!"

She paused after speaking, her expression extremely serious:

"I'll accompany you!"

"Okay, sob sob." Ye Yueyue nodded with tears in her eyes.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the night before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In Wangyue Garden, Ye Yueyue was preparing delicious food.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the courtyard, "Yuebao, I'm here! It smells so good!"

It was Jian Youqing. Ye Yueyue also noticed that there were two people following behind her, Ning Shuang and Si Keke.

She asked in surprise, "Why are you all here too?"

"Can't I come? Junior Sister Yue didn't even invite me!" Si Keke pouted and sat down at the table.

Ye Yueyue paused, then immediately clasped her hands together and begged for mercy: "You're wrong, future great alchemist. I was just worried that you wanted to live with your family."

"Hmph, then this great alchemist will spare you." Si Keke snorted coldly, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ning Shuang strolled over, a faint smile on her lips and a teasing glint in her eyes. "I've come to bother you, Junior Sister Yue, do you mind?"

Ye Yueyue immediately laughed and said, "Of course not! I'm super, super happy that Senior Sister Ningshuang can come and spend the New Year with me!"

"Yuebao, let me help you!"

Jian Youqing walked into the kitchen, leaned close to Ye Yueyue, and smelled the aroma from the pot, her face filled with delight.

"I'm here too, Junior Sister Yue!"

Ning Shuang said, "If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Ye Yueyue smiled and nodded, pointing to the pot in front of her. "Okay, then Senior Sister Ningshuang, please take it out for me. Qingbao, stay here and help chop the vegetables. Coco, prepare the bowls, chopsticks, and flower dew. Dinner will be ready in a little while!"

"it is good!"

Everyone got busy.

The small courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere and laughter.

Despite the cold winter, it didn't feel cold at all.

After the meal, everyone dispersed.

Ye Yueyue used a cleaning spell, and the kitchen was instantly transformed. She went outside and saw Jian Youqing sitting in the yard watching her with a smile in her eyes.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Ye Yueyue asked, looking up.

"I said I'd spend the New Year with Yuebao."

Seeing the girl's serious expression, Ye Yueyue felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "It's okay, it's over now."

"No, I have to stay up with Yuebao to celebrate the New Year!"

"Isn't your dad angry?" Ye Yueyue asked curiously.

"I'm angry. I was just pulling her away from me." Jian Youqing was silent for a moment.

Thinking of the usually stern-faced Peak Master Fu Feng, who was holding onto Jian Youqing and not letting her leave, Ye Yueyue suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's okay, I'm already very happy that Qingbao came to have dinner with me!"

Spend more time with your family when you have free time.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Ye Yueyue got up and jumped onto the roof.

Some things are only appreciated after they are lost.

She used to find her family's advice a bit nagging, but after transmigrating to another world, she missed it terribly.

Jian Youqing followed her up to the roof, and the two sat side by side.

Together they gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

Jian Youqing suddenly spoke up: "My father and my mother are there, but Yuebao only has one person."

The girl's voice was soft, with a hint of worry in her tone. She paused for a moment after speaking, then laughed lightly and said:

"So I feel that Yuebao needs me more."

Even without turning around, Ye Yueyue could feel the gaze beside her.

Winter nights are cold. Although cultivators are not as afraid of the cold as ordinary people, the occasional breeze still carries a chill that cuts to the bone.

But at this moment she did not feel cold.

Ye Yueyue looked up and met her gaze; the girl's eyes, filled with smiles, were full of sincerity.

"Waaah, Qingbao, you're the best!"

Ye Yueyue couldn't help but hug her.

"Yuebao is fine too!" Jian Youqing said softly, her face slightly flushed.

The two complimented each other for a while, and it was almost midnight.

Ye Yueyue took out the spirit tablet and saw that the time on it had just passed. She smiled and said, "Qingbao, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Yuebao! May you be happy every day."

Jian Youqing paused for a moment, then added:

"And also, no emo!"

Jian Youqing learned this word from Ye Yueyue.

Once, when asked what she was doing, Ye Yueyue said she was emo. At first, she didn't quite understand what it meant, but after an explanation, she understood.

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say!"

In the dim night, the moonlight appeared even whiter.

"Next year, I want to build my foundation!"

Ye Yueyue suddenly spoke up and shouted.

Hearing her voice echo in the night sky, Jian Youqing was startled. Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but call out as well:

"Next year, I also want to be promoted to a third-grade talisman master!"

"Most definitely!"

Under the moonlight, two girls sat on the rooftop, making wishes for the New Year.

The sound echoed throughout the courtyard, but with the isolation array in place, there was no need to worry about it being transmitted out.

Ye Yueyue felt much more relaxed after she shouted it out.

After the New Year, drowsiness suddenly struck.

Every year, staying up late on New Year's Eve seems to be just about getting to that point; once it's over, it loses its charm.

Jian Youqing yawned, stood up, her eyes glistening with tears, and said listlessly, "Yuebao, I'm going back now."

"Okay, Qingbao, go to sleep early, goodnight."

"Good night, good night!" Jian Youqing waved and turned to leave Wangyue Garden.

After parting ways, Ye Yueyue also planned to go to sleep. She didn't plan to cultivate today. What's wrong with relaxing during the New Year? The sky won't fall down if she doesn't cultivate for a day.

Even if it collapses, there will be tall people to hold it up; it's not her turn to be a weakling who's only 1.5 meters tall.

Before going to sleep, Ye Yueyue, true to her professional ethics, sent a New Year's greeting to her fish before returning to her room to rest.

Ji Feiyang received the message immediately. Surrounded by a noisy crowd, he couldn't wait to open the spiritual scroll after hearing the notification sound.

When he saw that sentence, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

May my brother be well, safe, and joyful every year.
