The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Looking at the girl in her arms, dressed in the light feathers of daylight, Xu Nian's eyes welled up with tears.

No wonder there are so many spicy snacks in supermarket shopping carts, and the New Year's Eve dinner table is full of spicy dishes that symbolize prosperity.

It turns out that Xu Xi had already made preparations to return his body to Xu Xi on this day that symbolizes reunion, so that Xu Xi could reunite with him for the New Year.

But she had only recently emerged from her depression and hadn't had a few days of comfort.

This doesn't seem fair to her.

But the world is inherently characterized by injustice.

"Brother, Sister Xi will come back."

Xu Xi nestled in the man's arms and gently rubbed her cheek against his chest.

"I've already told her that next time she wakes up, she'll stay a few more days."

Xu Nian nodded and wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve.

Today is a day that symbolizes reunion, so he cannot be sad.

"Okay, brother, don't cry. Crying is embarrassing."

"No, I didn't cry."

"Hehe~ When brother lies, his heartbeat is irregular."

......

After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, the two lay on the sofa, comfortably burping.

It has to be said that booking the New Year's Eve dinner from a hotel really saved a lot of trouble.

There's no need to rush around like you're going to war, cooking a whole table of dishes, and then not having to wash mountains of bowls and plates afterward.

The time saved can be used for the two people to spend some quality time together after their reunion.

As the clock struck eight, the stirring rhythm of the Spring Festival Overture gradually began to play on the television.

Several brightly dressed hosts appeared on camera with joyful smiles.

"Dear viewers, everyone—"

Happy Chinese New Year!

However, their impassioned speeches failed to resonate with the men and women cuddling in front of their televisions.

Xu Nian lay on the sofa, leisurely scrolling through her phone, watching Odella bananas.

Xu Xi then took his rough hands in her arms and carefully trimmed his nails.

For them, the Spring Festival Gala seems to be just background noise symbolizing family reunion.

At first, Xu Nian would occasionally glance at the content on the TV, but every time he saw something, it was extremely disappointing.

"Are robots this powerful now?" he murmured.

"Huh? What robot?" The girl looked up and followed her brother's gaze.

A group of robots, all painted black, were singing and dancing on the television, occasionally performing backflips.

It's ironic that such a program, which symbolizes human reunion, is devoid of any human presence.

Xu Xi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then pinched the man's arm.

"Brother, watching robots dance is so boring, why don't you watch me dance?"

"You can dance?"

"Of course I can! I know everything from astronomy to geography, so dancing is a piece of cake for me."

After saying that, she stood up and went to the center of the living room.

The lights went out, everything was quiet, and a spotlight shone on the girl's tender face, highlighting her slender and graceful curves.

As the waltz began softly, Xu Xi lifted her skirt, stood on tiptoe, and channeled her energy upwards from her ankles, tightening her waist and abdomen. Her arms stretched out like clouds, and her fingertips extended gently.

Her skirt billowed in a soft arc with her movements, like angel wings fluttering in the air.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her expression focused and serene, immersed in the world of dance.

Spinning and leaping, with her eyes closed, every movement was clean and crisp, yet carried a softness unique to young girls.

Her elegant dance steps and graceful figure made the man's eyes widen.

He suddenly felt that even the bananas from Rio de Janeiro's phone didn't taste good anymore.

It's so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful, I can't get enough of it.

She was like a budding flower; every turn of her toes, every bend of her fingertips, precisely touched the softest part of the man's heart, making him yearn for her.

The waltz came to an abrupt end, and the girl stood firmly on her toes, her arms gracefully outstretched, frozen in a quiet yet dazzling pose.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her eyes gazed at the man before her with gentle tenderness.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Xu Nian put down her phone and clapped enthusiastically.

"Little Creek, I never would have guessed! When did you learn to dance?"

Xu Xi pouted and tilted her head: "No, it was just improvisation."

Xu Nian choked on her words and coughed several times in a row.

Good heavens, improvisation?

Her dance moves are in no way inferior to those of the dancers on short video platforms.

He couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he had sent Xu Xi to an arts school back then, would she be a household name today, instead of having to work so hard in the business world and exhausting herself to earn money?

After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and shook his head.

The tuition at the art school was very expensive, and he simply couldn't afford it back then.

Moreover, even if she hadn't pursued an artistic career, Xu Xi would still be an outstanding individual today.

A golden phoenix born in mud cannot have its brilliance obscured by filth.

She will eventually soar to great heights and become the most dazzling supernova in the world.

"What are you thinking about, brother?"

Xu Xi came to the man's side, sat cross-legged on his lap, and gently hugged his waist with her small hands.

Xu Nian ran her hand through her silver-white hair, gently stroking it.

"I'm thinking, you're so outstanding, am I... not good enough for you?"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Nian felt a slight pain in her shoulder.

He turned his head and saw a row of faint teeth marks, as well as the girl's resentful little eyes.

"Don't say that, brother."

Xu Xi pouted and tapped the man's nose with her slender little finger.

"No matter how beautiful a rose is, it still grows from the soil. If it weren't for my brother, how would I have had the chance to grow towards the sun?"

Everything I have now is thanks to my brother.

"Everything I have belongs to my brother."

She raised her head and kissed the man's lips with her thin pink lips.

"That includes me."

Their lips met, their eyes locked, and only the purest love and warm breaths remained.

It wasn't until the girl's small hand touched the man's pants that Xu Nian realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed the cuff of his pants.

"no."

His tone was somewhat flustered.

After playing with Xu Xi for an afternoon, he felt that he could hardly lift his head anymore.

"Today... we've already done that today, let's do it tomorrow."

"no."

The girl slowly removed the daylight feathers from her body, revealing her charming shoulders, and gently kissed the man's forehead.

"Sister Xi is Sister Xi, and I am me. She's full, but I'm still hungry."

"Besides, I haven't seen my brother for so many months, I really want to... really want to... really want to play with my brother."

Looking at her pitiful little expression and pleading eyes, Xu Nian felt like crying but had no tears left.

He suddenly remembered that after the game ended this afternoon, Xu Xi had given him a look that said, "Take care of yourself."

Damn it, it turns out he had already been completely outmaneuvered by these two sisters.

He closed his eyes and resignedly accepted this happy trouble.

The clock struck exactly 12 o'clock. Outside the window, cannons roared, flames shot into the sky, and the sound of firecrackers echoed through the heavens.

Let us welcome the New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

"An unforgettable night~"
