The New Year’s Eve dinner began at six o’clock. The four members of the Shen family sat around the dining table.
Shen Guo gazed affectionately at his grandson. “It seems like you’ve made quite a few friends in Hai City this time. You were on vacation for such a long period and only returned yesterday.”
Shen Jun smiled. “1’11 bring my friend back for you to see next time.”
Uncertain about his grandfather’s stance on their relationship, Shen Jun hesitated to reveal his connection with Wen Nian too soon. If his grandfather were to object, he knew that his approach might not be as gentle as his mother’s.
Shen Guo smiled and nodded in response. Observing this, Zhao Jiao swiftly interjected, “Dad, Ji Xiang’s family has recently returned from overseas. 1 was thinking, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we could have Shen Jun bring Tingting to the capital for some fun. Shen Jun is already 17 years old and it would be beneficial for him to have more interaction with girls instead of always being surrounded by boys.”
Shen Guo’s heart was touched by his daughter-in-law’s words. Not only was Zhao Jiao concerned about her granddaughter-in-law, but she also cared for his well-being. He was quite content with this plan. “1 still remember Tingting, that lovely and delicate little girl. Shen Jun, bring her home for a meal. It’s been many years since I’ve seen her. It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet her.”
Zhao Jiao was in complete control of the situation, and she intended to create this illusion for Shen Jun. The entire family shared the hope that he would find a partner of equal social status to marry. It was their desire that Shen Jun’s future spouse would align with their expectations and meet the family’s standards.
She wanted her son to experience the exhilarating sensation of defying the world for love.
This was a passionate love!
Zhao Jiao secretly glanced at her husband and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Shen Mo immediately looked at her encouragingly.
Shen Jun felt a sense of impatience upon hearing about the plan, but he also realized that his company’s crucial project was at a critical stage. It was not the right time to make any mistakes. Therefore, he looked up at his grandfather and mother, putting on a smile, and agreed to do as they say.
The meal consisted of the four of them. While Shen Jun seemed slightly troubled, the rest of the family appeared genuinely joyful. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the hotel room dwelled by the Wen Family was also remarkably harmonious and pleasant.
On the night of Chinese New Year’s Eve, as most people gathered at home to watch the gala on the official channel, Wen Nian found herself continuously texting Shen Jun on her phone.
After midnight, as the Chinese lunar calendar ushered in the new year, Wen Nian made sure not to miss Shen Jun’s blessings this time.
Shen Jun: I can finally be the first one this time. It’s a pity that 1 can’t see you with my own eyes.
Wen Nian: You will always be the first one in the future.
Shen Jun felt a great sense of satisfaction upon hearing these words. The unreasonable and stubborn side of his personality that had emerged since falling in love resurfaced once again.
Shen Jun: 1 suddenly remembered something. 1 said that I like you, but you say it to me.
Wen Nian pursed her lips and smiled. She looked out of the window and thought for a while.
Wen Nian: “Go to the window now.”
Shen Jun’s heart started pounding with anticipation, contemplating the possibility of Wen Nian showing up at his doorstep. However, he quickly realized that she didn’t know his address. His heart gradually settled, and he obediently walked towards the window, refocusing his attention on the present moment.
Shen Jun: I’m at the window.
Wen Nian: “Do you see the moon in the sky during this springtime?”
Shen Jun looked up at the moon and carefully thought about what Wen Nian meant. He suddenly thought of something and understood what Wen Nian didn’t say out loud. He chuckled.
When Wen Nian heard Shen Jun’s smile, she knew that the other party understood what she meant. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up.
Wen Nian and Shen Jun chatted for a while before saying goodnight to each other. Then, she took a photo of the next bright moon by the hotel window and posted it on her social media account.
The photo had this caption: The moon hung high in the sky. It was spring.
Shen Jun had set a special focus on Wen Nian, ensuring that he would receive a ringtone notification whenever she posted something or sent a message.
As Shen Jun observed the latest update, a deeper smile graced his face. He, too, took a picture of the bright moon in the sky. He didn’t post the picture with a caption. Then, he leaned against the window and allowed himself to immerse in the serene beauty of the moonlit night.
When Wen Nian saw this, she exited the page with a smile and began to reply to the others’ New Year’s blessings.
When Wen Nian woke up the next day, she was taken aback to find that there were over 9,999 replies on her social media account. Her initial reaction was one of fear, assuming that she had once again become the target of online attacks. She hastily opened the comments section.
[Sisters, 1 feel that there’s a hidden meaning behind these words! Can anyone interpret it?]
[I’ll do it! There’s also the second half of the sentence. ‘You are in my mind. My heart is complete.’ 1 can already smell sweet love through the screen.]
[Oh my! My little sister is definitely in love. Congratulations!]
[My goddess is taken so quickly! Despair, 1 can’t accept it…]
[Previous poster, don’t worry. There’s no point in worrying. She’s already showing off. This means that it’s a foregone conclusion. Hahaha.]
In short, the comments section was predominantly filled with well-wishes and blessings. As Wen Nian scrolled through the replies, she couldn’t help but feel the powerful and vibrant energy of the heartfelt love expressed by everyone..
