When Shi Lei woke up, every single family was hanging up lanterns to welcome the 30th and the New Year. Since 10 AM, people began to light fireworks one after another.

Small cities like this didn't ban fireworks. It would start in the morning on the 30th until the late half of the day Then, it would begin again early in morning at about five or six AM on the first.

Although it was noisy, it was what the New Year felt like. In Wudong, fireworks weren't allowed anywhere in the city. Shi Lei heard that this year was even more strict than before. Previously, they would only fine citizens, but this year, they changed it to a fifteen days trip to the detention center and no one dared to light any fireworks.

Shi Lei's parents happily wore their new clothes. Shi Lei now understood the details of the levels of intimacy and knew that his relationship with Sun Yiyi and her mother should be in the seventy-one to eighty range if not in the eighty-one to ninety level. There was no problem with him gifting them.

Hence, he took Sun Yiyi out early in the morning. Other than buying her a set of clothes for the New Year, he purchased a set for Sun Yiyi's mother too.

After they came back, Sun Yiyi's mother thanked him continuously as she never expected Shi Leito think about buying new clothes for her. Honestly speaking, she was always short on money after moving to Wudong and she never really bought any new clothes. Even if she bought any, they cost no more than 100 yuan. Ever since the day she got sick, she had never bought any new clothes.

Sun Yiyi's mother knew that it was valuable when she held it in her hands and she almost didn't dare to wear it.

Shi Lei smiled, "Aunt, don't be polite to me. It is filial piety and it's my responsibility. Just like what my parents said, we will be a family sooner or later.

After hearing this, Sun Yiyi's mother finally went into her room and changed into the new clothes with the help of Sun Yiyi's encouragements.

She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time and spoke to Sun Yiyi solemnly, "Yiyi, Shitou treats you too well. You must treat him well in the future too. He's busy with his career outside and it's inevitable for him to have some negative emotions. You must understand him. I'm telling you. If you fight him, I will be on his side without asking."

Sun Yiyi pouted, "You are convinced with just a set of clothes. He's not even your son-in-law yet!"

"He will be sooner or later!" Sun Yiyi's mother's face was filled with joy. Sun Yiyi realized that what she just said was too shameful and she lowered her head while blushing.

They had breakfast and lunch together and at 5 PM, Shi Lei helped Shi Zhongping and went downstairs with the rest to light fireworks. In the crackling of the fireworks, sparkles reflected on their faces as their faces were red. This was the joy of welcoming the New Year.

Naturally, they had to drink a little for the New Year dinner. The five of them were mingling harmoniously after the short and awkward meeting yesterday. Today, they seemed like a real family. Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi exchanged a smile and both of them were rather satisfied.

After washing the dishes, they were ready to watch the New Year's annual show. Then, Shi Lei's phone began to ring continuously.

Heroes from all corners of the world were bombarding his phone.

His classmates, the three guys from his dorm, Wei Qing, Song Miaomiao, and everyone else called him. Friends who he met recently or known for a while texted him. Others called him.

Seeing that Shi Lei's phone continued to ring, receiving call after call before being able to finish reading the texts, his parents were astonished. It was difficult for them to imagine what Shi Lei had gone through in the past year in Wudong. When he spent the New Year at home last year, his phone barely rang. What happened this year? Why did his phone suddenly turn into a hotline?

All the calls, texts and WeChat messages didn't stop until 10 PM. A few still came through, but not as much as before.

What made Shi Lei surprised was than even Bai Yuan and that Secretary Yang also sent their greetings. These people wouldn't send group messages like others and Shi Lei decided to return calls, one by one. After all, they were officials of Runzhou. He was going to be in Wudong more often in the future and perhaps he will bother them in the future if his family runs into problems.

He made a few calls and it took almost an hour.

After sitting down, Hu Xiaohua and Jiang Yuan called him one after the other, both saying that they finished dinner and spent enough time with their parents. They said that they could get ready to welcome the new year with friends.

Shi Lei spoke without a choice, "Well, not to hide it from you, but my phone hasn't been quiet ever since dinner. My parents are annoyed. Not to mention spending time with them, they all want to chase me out."

As expected, the three adults all laughed, "Alright, you youngsters go out and get ready for the New Year. The elders will watch the show and go to bed."

Shi Lei hung up and took Sun Yiyi out.

Hu Xiaohua and Jiang Yuan waited for them at the front and they were surprised to see Sun Yiyi as Shi Lei did not mention her over the call. Hence, they exchanged a glance and told Shi Lei to follow their car. After they went back to their car, they quickly contacted the others and told them to re-set the venue.

Initially, they prepared to welcome the New Year with a show. One of them, or perhaps the only performance, was a striptease. They even hired a few professionals from Macau for a happy night, but it had to be dismissed because of Sun Yiyi.

The final performance changed into a normal party. It wasn't so bad as they found a few local singers and it wasn't bad after they were all put together.

At 5 AM, the party was eventually dismissed as everyone was drunk.

Shi Lei didn't dare to drink too much so he only had a light drink with them. After they went home, Sun Yiyi went to her room to sleep as she was sleepy, but Shi Lei showered and was relatively energetic. He went to the balcony and took out one of Shi Zhongping's cigarettes. He lighted it for himself.

It was about 7 AM when Shi Lei took out his phone and tried calling Wei Xingyue again. Surprisingly, he received a WeChat message.

"Lil'man, it has been half a month since you last saw me. Do you miss me? Happy new year." Then, she sent a red pocket.

Shi Lei immediately replied, "Where are you now?" However, she didn't reply for a long time.

Shi Lei texted again, "I miss you. Talk to me. I'll call you!"

Then, Shi Lei immediately dialed Wei Xingyue but it was still the same familiar female voice telling him that her phone was turned off.

Shi Lei thought that Wei Xingyue was using wifi to use WeChat and he started a video call. However, it hung up automatically as Wei Xingyue didn't choose to pick up.

Standing on the balcony, the cigarette in his hand finished burning and he didn't realize until it burned his finger.

He threw away the rest and sent a message to Wei Xingyue: Xingyue, I know what happened to you. Brother Yu didn't conceal it from me. I told him that I don't have to care for your family. But as for you, I won't let anything happen to you! Don't worry. You have me. I will wait for you to contact me anytime. Don't think that I won't be able to help. I will definitely be able to help you.

It was obvious to see that this WeChat message sank into the ocean.

On the other side in a hotel in Didu, Wei Xingyue stood on the highest level in a sleeping robe. She looked at her phone with a tear-filled face.

"Idiot, how can you help? Even my noble godfather won't see me. Parting from you is lasting a lifetime. Perhaps, I'll see you in the next life," Wei Xingyue turned off her phone in silence. She changed into the dress that Shi Lei bought for her. She wore a long coat over it and walked out of the hotel with a determined expression.
