There was no scandal about the school beauty until I went to college

"Teacher Gu, you're not going to take me to the mountains and sell me, are you?"

On the way to the fireworks location, Li Xia huddled in the co-pilot seat, looking at Gu Mingxuan beside her nervously, like a little white rabbit.

After these words came out, Gu Mingxuan said with a dark face: "How much would it be worth if I sold you?"

"What! Teacher Gu, are you saying I'm worthless?"

Li Xia showed an incredible expression.

Gu Mingxuan didn't say anything.

Li Xia had already started to think about it in his mind.

Then, she showed a look of extreme fear.

She suddenly realized that the money she got from selling herself seemed to be just a drop in the bucket for Teacher Gu.

The misunderstanding from last time has not been resolved yet, so Li Xia's attitude towards Gu Mingxuan has unexpectedly become much closer, and she is becoming more and more like a naughty girlfriend.

"Teacher Gu, where are we going?"

“Somewhere you can set off fireworks.”

The car had been driving for a long time. There was a traffic jam in the city, and now there was not even a single person to be seen on either side of the road.

That's why Li Xia made that joke just now.

But she also knew that Teacher Gu would not hurt her, so she was not afraid.

Soon, the car stopped at a large open space where a bonfire had been lit. The bonfire was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and there was a large tent next to it.

In addition to Gu Mingxuan's car, there was another sedan and an SUV parked here.

There were plenty of seats around the campfire, but there were only two people sitting there at the moment.

One is Jiang Cheng and the other is Li Na.

"coming."

Li Na greeted them and then asked in confusion, "Are you two the only ones here? Where are Luo Ye and Su Baizhou?"

"I don't know. It's like they've lost contact."

Gu Mingxuan shook his head.

Li Na and Jiang Cheng were looking for a place to have a picnic, while Gu Mingxuan was looking for a place to set off fireworks. The two hit it off and decided to go to the same place.

Because it was a picnic decided at the last minute, when Gu Mingxuan informed Luo Ye, the latter was already in Anhu Park.

That's a place with no signal...

Besides, it's already past ten o'clock, the city is some distance away from here, and there's traffic jam, so even if they receive the news now, they won't be able to make it.

In addition, Gu Mingxuan’s friend, Teacher Qiu Panyuan, and the foreign teacher who had previously taught Luoye history open classes, Teacher Li Changan, were also here.

The SUV was driven by the two of them, and the trunk was filled with fireworks and barbecue ingredients bought by Gu Mingxuan.

"Long time no see, Lao Gu."

Li Changan, speaking fluent Mandarin, put another batch of barbecue on the campfire to cook.

Then, he looked at Li Xia and praised, "What a beautiful girl! You are so lucky, Old Gu... Hello, my name is Li Changan, and I am a professor of archaeology at Jiang University."

"Hello, my name is Li Xia... I'm a doctor."

"I'm Qiu Panyuan."

After a brief introduction, the few of them gathered around the campfire to keep warm, eating and chatting.

If Luo Ye and the others came, there would be eight people, and it would be more lively.

But with six people, it’s not too deserted.

"Old Gu, my wife and daughter will be here soon, do you mind?"

Li Changan asked.

He has lived in China for so many years and now has moved here with his family and settled down here completely.

"No problem, it's more fun with more people."

After saying that, Gu Mingxuan looked at Qiu Panyuan and asked with a half-smile, "Panyuan, are you coming to spend the New Year's Eve with us because you haven't found a girlfriend?"

Because we have experienced the same distress, we can't help but ridicule others who are experiencing pain.

Hearing this, Qiu Panyuan was furious. He said angrily, "Old Gu, why are you talking about something irrelevant? Do you think that you are superior to me just because you are no longer single?"

"Is not it?"

Now that you are no longer single, you must laugh at your friends who are still single.

"Ahem, Lao Gu, Nana and I are also single..." Jiang Cheng reminded.

"You are different. You don't want to talk, not that you can't talk."

Gu Mingxuan's words once again broke Qiu Panyuan's heart.

The atmosphere among the few people was very harmonious until Li Changan's family came over.

His wife's Mandarin is so poor that she can't even communicate, but his children were born in China, so they can speak Chinese.

But it doesn't matter.

Except for Qiu Panyuan, everyone present could speak English.

Needless to say, Gu Mingxuan and Li Xia studied abroad.

Needless to say, Li Na is a university English teacher.

Compared to these people, even though Jiang Cheng's English is a little worse, he can still achieve basic communication.

Only Qiu Panyuan seemed to be excluded.

Just like that, more than an hour passed quickly.

There are only a dozen minutes left until New Year's Eve.

Several people went to the car and took out various fireworks, ready to display their colors in the night sky at the moment of midnight.

Li Xia also got the fairy wand she wanted.

But this "box" of fairy wands was unexpectedly big.

Seeing this, Gu Mingxuan said, "You can have some of this later."

"Ah... I've never set off such big fireworks, I don't dare." Li Xia said with a pout.

"It's okay. The delay is very high. After it's lit, it will take more than ten seconds to ignite."

Hearing this, although Li Xia was still very scared, she felt an urge to try it out.

At the moment of fifty-nine minutes, she carefully lit the fireworks and ran towards Gu Mingxuan.

She ran very fast, as if she was running for her life, and her limbs were in a daze.

Li Xia threw herself into Gu Mingxuan's arms and looked back at the fireworks she had lit, which gradually rushed up into the sky and burst into dazzling flames.

"So beautiful..." she murmured.

"There will be something more beautiful later."

Gu Mingxuan smiled slightly.

Although there were many of them, at this moment, in the eyes of the two of them, it seemed that there was only each other.

Li Na on the side showed a helpless smile.

Really, I didn’t expect that Lao Gu would be like this when he was in love.

Ugh……

The fleeting regret in my heart was quickly covered by the beautiful scenery in the sky.

……

the other side.

Luo Ye and Su Baizhou, who were still playing cards, suddenly heard the sound of a countdown.

"It's New Year's Eve?"

Luo Ye quickly stood up, and Su Baizhou stretched out his hand, blushing and saying, "My legs are numb..."

Luo Ye immediately helped the senior student up.

Tens of thousands of people present were waiting for this moment.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Happy New Year!"

The next moment, countless balloons began to rise into the sky, forming an unparalleled scenery above Anhu Park.

Luo Ye's face was covered with various patterns painted by Su Baizhou.

Love heart, smiley face, apple, pear...

And on Su Baizhou's face... were the turtle and the piglet drawn by Luo Ye.

The painting is messy and looks ugly.

Neither of them knew what was on their faces.

But the only thing that is hopeful is the overflowing happiness.

"rice."

"Ah."

"In the new year, I will love you more."

"I will also...love you more."
