Moonlight falls into my arms

"If you like it, that's fine with me." Jiang Yuci responded indifferently, taking off her coat and hanging it on the hanger.

Ask Ruan Li: "Is this what you're making money for?"

"Of course, the New Year should be more festive. It already feels lonely with just the two of you, and your room is all black and white."

"Happy New Year," Jiang Yuci said to her.

“It’s not even New Year’s yet! There are still two hours!” Ruan Li frowned, stood over, and held up two fluffy little balls in her hands. “Do I look good in this?”

As she spoke, she brought her face closer and said, "Don't I look pretty today?"

Jiang Yuci noticed her bright red lips the moment he saw her, but it wasn't actually out of place.

The slightly upturned eyeliner made her eyes appear longer and more slender, and the elongated and thinned eyebrows and eye shape made her whole face look radiant.

The lipstick only made her porcelain-white face appear even whiter, so white it seemed to reflect light under the lamp.

"Jiang Yuci, are you stunned?" She smiled, pursing her lips.

So, you think it looks good too, right?

"Hmm, you can put a red dot on your forehead."

Ruan Li frowned: "Why would I want a red dot on my forehead?"

Jiang Yuci suddenly smiled, then lowered her head and chuckled, "That would be just like the children performing in kindergarten for the Spring Festival."

Ruan Li was stunned for a moment, then let out a cry: "I thought you were going to say that she would be like an unparalleled beauty from ancient times! You!"

She was speechless with anger. "You're not allowed to laugh. Today I'm going for a mature beauty look."

Did you make this on the table?

Jiang Yu stopped teasing her and pointed to the table full of dishes.

"I ordered the dishes, but I plated them all myself."

"..." Jiang Yuci nodded. "Can you eat this much by yourself?"

“Of course it’s just the two of us eating; this is New Year’s Eve dinner.” Ruan Li pushed him over.

“Look, I also bought this.” Ruan Li took out a decanter, and the dark red liquid inside exuded a mellow wine aroma.

"I do not drink."

Jiang Yuci frowned slightly. "Besides, I ate dinner tonight."

He stopped eating after a certain time.

“You’re not even eating New Year’s Eve dinner. Look,” Ruan Li pointed to the Spring Festival Gala on TV. “I’ve already set it up. We’ll eat together, watch the Gala together, and then happily welcome the New Year!”

"Didn't you have that when you were little? Everyone would eat together, and then in the evening, the adults would play together and the kids would play together. Even if we played late into the night during the New Year, our parents wouldn't say anything. It was so wonderful."

Ruan Li recounted the joy of those days, "We could watch fireworks and set off firecrackers. Now there are so many new firecrackers, and I've bought so many."

Jiang Yuci lowered his eyes to look at her, "Fireworks are banned now."

"Ah..." Ruan Li covered her mouth. She had originally planned to buy lots and lots of fireworks to fill the sky with them and confess her feelings to Jiang Yuci under the fireworks.

I never expected it to be banned.

"Then this small one should be playable, right?"

Jiang Yuci didn't want to spoil the mood any further. "Let's eat."

Ruan Li looked up at him. "Are you in a bad mood?"

Jiang Yuci took the decanter, poured a little wine for Ruan Li, handed it to her, and then poured some warm water into his own wine glass.

"The Lunar New Year's dinner is supposed to be eaten with family. Is it because you didn't spend it with your family that you're...?"

Ruan Li stared at his eyes and brows, "Why don't you go home?"

Jiang Yuci simply said he was too busy.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll celebrate with you this year." Ruan Li raised her glass and clinked it with his. "Hey, you only poured me a sip? That's so stingy!"

"What if you get drunk and cause trouble?"

Ruan Li was speechless: "Who cares about all that during the New Year?"

After the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The two sat on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala, and Ruan Li kept rubbing her palms together.

I glanced at the sofa every now and then.

He glanced at Jiang Yuci every now and then.

"What else do you want to do?" Jiang Yuci noticed her subtle movements.

Ruan Li picked up Yu Ci, who was wearing a red overcoat, and said, "I'm just looking around, haha."

Until the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala begins.

Countdown to ten.

Ruan Li said she was going to the restroom.

The fishbone she had put down took a few steps and lay down next to Jiang Yuci's legs.

Jiang Yuci stroked the kitten's back with his palm.

His eyes were fixed on Ruan Li, who hadn't gone to the bathroom but had turned and gone to the bedroom.

Then, his phone vibrated.

Jiang Yuci picked it up and started reading.

Ruan Li:

The gift on the sofa is for you.

Jiang Yu sent a message in the past:

Why did you hide in the room?

Ruan Li:

-＞People＜Me, I'm shy.

Jiang Yuci sent a smiling face emoji, which was a saved one from Ruan Li.

He picked up the box next to him, the same box he had seen earlier.

Although I had guessed it was something Ruan Li had prepared for me.

But when I opened it, my hand still trembled a little from nervousness.

It seems he knew in his heart what would happen tonight.

But he couldn't offer a solution.

It seems he can't accept either answer.

Jiang Yuci stopped when half of the ribbon on top was removed.

Send a message to Ruan Li:

-come out.

Ruan Li stared at her phone, pursed her lips, and finally opened the door and walked out by herself.

Jiang Yuci looked at her, her face slightly flushed.

"Say Happy New Year to me."

He placed the box in Ruan Li's hands.

Ruan Li held the box in her hands.

"Jiang Yuci, Happy New Year." She raised her clear eyes, and since she had already spoken the first sentence, the rest was not difficult.

"This is a gift for you."

Jiang Yuci nodded and accepted it.

He took out a small box and said, "Happy New Year, this is your gift."

Ruan Li paused for a moment, recalling exchanging gifts with her classmates in elementary school, but she was also quite surprised, "I didn't expect you to have prepared a gift for me."

Ruan Li took the small box with great anticipation.

The two opened the box almost simultaneously.

Jiang Yuci held a scarf that was about the same color as the dress Ruan Li was wearing.

Judging from the somewhat clumsy handwriting, it's easy to guess that it was woven by Ruan Li herself.

Surprisingly, she actually learned it...

Ruan Li stared blankly at the contents of the box.

"this......"

An ID card was lying in the box.

"What are you doing? Giving me a fake ID card." Ruan Li looked up at him in astonishment.

"This is real."

Ruan Li was even more surprised: "But, but..."

The police all said she was dead, "How did you do that...?"

Suddenly, with a loud bang.

Outside, a large number of dazzling dots rose into the air, suddenly exploded, and emitted brilliant light.

Just as Ruan Li had imagined, the dazzling fireworks filled the sky.

“No, aren’t fireworks banned?” Ruan Lina asked.

Jiang Yuci's face remained expressionless, as if he had known all along that there would be a fireworks display tonight.

Ruan Li turned her head to look at the dazzling fireworks outside the window, which also reflected the unique colors of the fluttering snowflakes.

Jiang Yuci lowered his eyes and stared intently at the person who was focused on watching the fireworks.

In her line of sight, Ruan Li's eyes were bright and clear, reflecting the fireworks outside the French windows, revealing a look of bewilderment and surprise.

Jiang Yuci took a step closer to her, stared at her for a long time, and the brief, soft touch from last night came to mind.

—Her kiss.
