[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

The beginning of a good day is about opening the floor-to-ceiling blackout curtains, smiling at the not-so-bright but bright morning sun, and having a cup of Nescafe (crossed out) coffee.

Li Youxue, who stayed up late to work and write the program planning and New Year's general planning all night, finally remembered to light up the screen of her mobile phone that had been silent all night when she finished the above actions. If it is not bright, it shows that its heart is more than enough but its strength is not enough with practical actions.

Li Youxue had no choice but to find a charger to charge it while stroking her messy long hair, and tried to turn it on again.

This time it worked.After the silent startup animation of the mobile phone, she was greeted by a series of text message prompts—continuously popping up, including various text messages for New Year's greetings in advance, as well as missed call reminders sent by the full-time phone.

Li Youxue was slightly taken aback, and first glanced at the sender list of unread text messages.

[Little Yueyue]

[Korean dog legs]

[Sister Anna]

[Zhao Xiaofan]

[李怪打]

[Bai Feifei]

[my son]

[Xu Heitu]

……

Li Youxue was dazzled by the long list, so she simply turned her head to look at the notification messages from Quantimes.

[恋语市的16XXXXXXXX在2月14日20：08分给您来电一次。详情点击……]

[恋语市的16XXXXXXXX在2月14日20：10分给您来电一次，详情点击……]

[恋语市的18XXXXXXXX在2月14日20：14分给您来电一次，详情点击……]

……

A series of text messages mentioned a total of four mobile phone numbers - the number starting with 16 is not common, it is Li Zeyan's top number in the expensive food chain; Mo and Zhou Qiluo.

Li Youxue sighed helplessly, and replied to those New Year's greeting text messages one by one, and found the messages of the four raiders.

[Li Dangdang: What are the arrangements for New Year's Eve? ]

[Li Dangdang: Huarui Group has held annual meetings over the years, and if you want to open your eyes, you can come to participate. ]

[Li Dangdang: Going to bed so early, are you an elderly person? ]

[Bai Feifei: What are you doing? ]

[Bai Feifei: Do you want to celebrate the new year together tomorrow? ]

[My son: Youyou!I'm so angry! ]

[My son: I wanted to ask you to spend the New Year's Eve together, but the agent said that there will be a live broadcast tomorrow...]

[My son: It's on Chinese Satellite TV at [-] o'clock in the evening, you must watch it!Although I can't be by your side, I will accompany and bless you on the screen! /bihart]

[Xu Heitu: Are you still working? ]

[Xu Heitu: New Year is approaching, you must be very busy, but even if you are busy, don't forget to sign for my gift. ]

[Xu Heitu: I can't be by your side because of work problems, but... Happy New Year.When you think of me, just look at the presents. ]

"They all played well." Li Youxue commented expressionlessly. "I feel like I can act in a big movie without a heroine."

【...It feels like you are not attacking them, but being attacked by them. 】The system was silent for a long time, and replied sincerely.

"Your evaluation this time is really pertinent." Li Youxue couldn't help but nodded in appreciation.

[…] The system was speechless.

"Since they're all so enthusiastic, I'll text back." Li Youxue nodded thoughtfully. "As for the phone...maybe you can understand after seeing the text message?"

After making a quick decision, she began to type: [Sorry, I was busy with New Year's program planning last night, and I didn't find out that my phone was out of battery, so I didn't see the text message...Happy New Year!Please give me more advice in the new year! ]

——Then, click [Mass Send].

The system was stunned: [There is still such an operation... No, you are just responding to Tie Tie's four boys' hearts! 】

"Let's not talk about it first, Li Zeyan is really not a boy." Li Youxue replied indifferently, and went to the bathroom to turn on the water heater to wash her hair.

[It seems a bit too much for you to make complaints about his age...] The system silently complained about the CEO who was shot.

Li Youxue snorted, ignored Mr. System's nagging, and went straight to washing her hair with water.

But at this moment, the mobile phone started to vibrate and ring. Because it was placed on the washing machine, the vibration made the washing machine tremble, shaking like an earthquake.

Li Youxue wiped her hands in annoyance, and while she lowered her head to let the water drip down her hair, she took it over to have a look—[李恩惩].

Li Youxue couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect the president of Huarui to be so idle. Did he keep guarding his phone and wait for my reply?"

[...Maybe that's the case. 】The divine prediction from the little princess stunned everyone in the system.

Li Youxue sighed, connected the phone, pressed the speakerphone, and continued her hair washing performance.

"You're so busy that you don't even have time to return a call?" Li Zeyan's voice full of all kinds of pickiness and subtle dissatisfaction came out immediately. "Just one plan makes you so busy?"

"No." Li Youxue replied solemnly with her eyes open and talking nonsense. "If I want to call you, I always have to think about what to say to you."

"...Are you so afraid of me?" Li Zeyan was silent for a while, with a strange tone.

"Your words are interesting. Since when have I been afraid of you?" Li Youxue rolled her eyes. "Did you know that when a person answers a phone call he thinks is important, he always struggles for a while... what 'what will he say', 'how can I say it so that he will listen' or 'what if? What to do if there is nothing to say in the cold scene', it is all about thinking about it before you can make up your mind to make a move."

——After all, Li Zeyan is the sponsor and the father of Chinese-American film and television, so of course she has to think carefully when she calls him!

Li Zeyan was silent again.

[Li Zeyan's favorability +55! 】The system actively reminded me that I was about to cry with joy. 【Have you finally understood the true meaning of strategy! 】

Li Youxue didn't even bother to pay attention to it.

After a brief silence, Li Zeyan continued: "But you didn't hesitate when you answered my phone?" There was still a hint of probing.

Li Youxue was rubbing the shampoo foam, and smiled: "Ah, that's because I can't refuse every initiative of yours."

——Because the system asked her to attack, and she must not listen to her refusal!

[Li Zeyan's favorability degree +64! 】The system seems to be about to cry, and the tone is choked.

Li Zeyan paused for a few more seconds, finally realizing something: "What are you doing?"

"Wash your hair." Li Youxue gave the most honest answer. "If you want to go out, it doesn't look good if you don't wash your hair."

"...Did you see my text message?" Li Zeyan suddenly changed the subject. "Do you want to come and see the annual meeting? It can also expand your narrow vision."

"I don't like hearing that anymore." Li Youxue almost jumped up and threw something, but remembering that she was still washing her hair, she held back with difficulty. "The annual meeting, it's like I've never seen it before... And I hate that kind of stuff that is so long and time-consuming, I've been used to it since I was a child—including you, I don't like it very much, right? ! There are still a bunch of people looking at you in fear, why not cook and drink tea at home."

"If it's your cooking skills," Li Zeyan paused and replied slowly. "Then I'd rather go to the dragging annual meeting."

[Li Zeyan's favorability +48! 】The system tirelessly prompts.

"And according to the company's arrangement, all your employees of Chinese descent have also received invitations...you can think carefully about how many people will participate." Li Zeyan continued in a calm and confident tone.

——If it's that group of idlers who aim to gossip, then... Li Youxue thought about it, and had to admit with deep pain: probably most of the people would go, and maybe the company would come out in full force!

After thinking about it, Li Youxue could only reply helplessly: "Then I..."

【No!etc! 】The system turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stopped it. [Do you really want to agree!Didn't you consider the feelings of the other three male protagonists?Although Li Zeyan did take the lead, Xu Mo is not here, Zhou Qiluo also has a job, but you still have nothing to do! 】

...Let Bai Qi attend the annual meeting together?Li Youxue began to consider such a possibility.

[...You are a bit courageous! ] The system that heard her voice was surprised and moved.

"Beep - beep -" but the phone suddenly heard two long prompts.

Then there were two more beeps, beeps, in succession.

"Sorry, someone called me. It may be a work problem...I'll call you later." Li Youxue calmly seized this opportunity and decisively decided to delay the attack first.

"...Okay." Li Zeyan seemed to let out a breath, and hung up the phone.

"Did he get mad at me?" Li Youxue guessed calmly.

[...Compared to this, you should hurry up and listen to what Bai Qi has to say. ] The system is speechless.

"It turned out to be Bai Qi's call." Li Youxue stared at the note - [Bai Feifei], and sighed in surprise. "I knew I wouldn't hang up the phone number of the patron - Sugita's voice is also nice."

【...You are really not ordinary. 】The system couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Bai Qi.

Li Youxue curled her lips, quickly got up and swiped the screen to connect, then lowered her head and continued to wash her hair: "Hello... Brother?" She lowered her head and called casually.

"Did you just wake up?" Bai Qi's voice seemed to be smiling.

"That's right," Li Youxue sighed seriously. "Just for tonight's New Year's Eve planning...but fortunately, it's finished."

"So, are you free today?" Bai Qi asked tentatively.

"I can't guarantee it in the morning. I have to check the manuscript, but I should be free in the afternoon." Li Youxue recalled and replied sincerely. "So, what about Officer Bai?"

"I'm free all day." Bai Qi replied neatly, but the words stopped here. "...Do you want to be together?"

"I just happened to ask you too," Li Youxue smiled. "Do you want to attend the group's annual meeting with me?"

"...The group you are talking about?" Bai Qi's mind was quite flexible, and he understood something almost immediately.

【...My Lady Queen, here! 】The system is about to be stunned: This is simply a question that loses points!just in case--

"Huarui Group." Li Youxue replied without hesitation, regardless of the panic of the system.

Bai Qi was silent for a while: "... Li Zeyan invited?"

【...My Lady Queen! 】The system was running around in a hurry, and could hardly bear to answer for its queen.

"No," Li Youxue replied calmly, knowing the system's anxiety. "It's an invitation email sent by Huarui Group—I think it doesn't look good for me to go alone."

"..." Bai Qi fell silent, and did not answer for a long while.

[Bai Qi's favorability +43! 】The system's mood relaxes.

"Okay," Bai Qi said slowly, as if he was a little happier. "I'm with you."

Li Youxue smiled secretly: "I will send you a message later...about the time and place of the annual meeting."

"I will pick you up." Bai Qi responded decisively.

Li Youxue responded readily, but thought of something: "But, do you have a suitable dress? Do you want me to accompany you to buy one?"

"Okay." Bai Qi's tone became more and more gentle. "At two o'clock in the afternoon, I will find you."

When Li Youxue hung up Bai Qi's phone, the system couldn't wait: [Bai Qi's favorability +52! ——You actually took the initiative to invite this time? 】

"The straight man of steel is white, it's no wonder there will be a dress." Li Youxue brushed her hair calmly. "I'm just doing it out of good intentions."

【...That is, sympathy? 】The system seems to be about to cry.

"Oh, by the way, I have to call Li Zeyan back." Li Youxue remembered Li Zeyan, put away the towel and started dialing.

Li Zeyan answered almost instantly: "The chat is over? Are you done?"

"Yes," Li Youxue agreed quite naturally. "I will go to the annual meeting."

[Li Zeyan's favorability degree +23! 】

"...Four o'clock, I will pick you up." Li Zeyan told her without further ado.

"So early?" Li Youxue secretly calculated the time in her heart, feeling a little confused.

"It's irresponsible to the eyes of the employees of the group to let you go unkempt." Li Zeyan seemed to have already figured out how to answer her, and he spoke fluently.

"Don't worry, I don't have the face to do that kind of thing." Li Youxue was expressionless. "I won't embarrass you... What time is the annual meeting? Please send me the address, and I'll go there by myself."

"Heh," Li Zeyan smiled inexplicably. "Are you sure you can find the way? The annual meeting at six o'clock, is it a miracle that you can arrive at seven o'clock?"

"Even if I don't know how to find my way, I can at least take a taxi." Li Youxue was a little annoyed.

"..." Li Zeyan was silent for a while, then said coldly, "No, I'll just pick you up to save trouble."

...Why is he so persistent?Li Youxue frowned secretly: Bai Qi agreed at two o'clock, but I'm afraid Li Zeyan will come again before four o'clock, so...

Thinking of this, Li Youxue said with a blank expression on her face, "We must leave some suspense, right? If you are willing to help me, you might as well meet after five o'clock and see me when I'm fully dressed—I'll let you meet a real lady from a famous family."

"...Then, see you at five." Li Zeyan responded meaningfully.

[Li Zeyan's favorability degree +31! 】

"So he likes this type." Li Youxue suddenly realized.

【... No, I always feel that you have misunderstood something. 】The system murmured unbearably.

Li Youxue hung up the phone, comfortably took the fan and began to blow her hair in front of the mirror and apply essential oil.

But her cell phone rang again—not a phone ring, but a video ring, and the note read: [my son].

Li Youxue smoothed out her wet temple hair before sliding it on.

On the screen was a boy with blond hair, curly and slightly messy hair, and faint sweat on his white forehead, but his smile was still as bright as the sun, and his blue eyes were shining brightly.Facing the camera, he waved happily: "Youyou! Can you see it?"

"Well, long time no see." Li Youxue showed him a friendly smile.

"Ah, did you take a shower just now?" Zhou Qiluo seemed to have discovered something, leaned forward curiously, and opened his eyes wide.

"I wash my hair, I don't take a shower early in the morning." Li Youxue explained patiently. "You look like you just finished your work?"

"Yeah! We just rehearsed for the first time!" Zhou Qiluo nodded cheerfully. "Hey, look, this is the dressing room for the party! Of course - I'm alone now!"

After speaking triumphantly and showing off, he turned the camera around to show Li Youxue the brightly lit room he was in.

"How's it going, isn't it good?" Zhou Qiluo asked her excitedly after the filming was over.

"Well, I've never seen it before." Li Youxue nodded.

[Zhou Qiluo's favorability +22! 】

"Hey, I knew it!" Zhou Qiluo laughed happily. "But—" he elongated his voice mysteriously, and tilted his head playfully.

Li Youxue blinked blankly.

"You who just washed your hair are so cute!" Zhou Qiluo exclaimed in a cheerful tone. "Like a cute little animal."

"...You are too much." Li Youxue tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Speaking of small animals, you are more similar."

"Really?" Zhou Qiluo was a little surprised and a little happy. "What kind of animal? Is it as attractive as me—"

"Little milk cat." Li Youxue spit out a few words calmly.

The smile on Zhou Qiluo's lips froze, and then he became depressed, and even the brows drooped: "Ah... Does it sound a little mean?"

"Yes." Li Youxue nodded.

"...Why is this qaq?" Zhou Qiluo's round blue eyes were like the sky about to rain.

Li Youxue looked at it and couldn't help admiring: "Your eyes are beautiful."

[Zhou Qiluo's favorability +37! 】

"Really? Really!" Zhou Qiluo recovered in a second, his brows beaming with joy. "Great! You like it, don't you?"

"...Mmm." Thinking of Li Zeyan's cobalt blue eyes and white and dark golden pupils with some hesitation, Li Youxue responded.

Zhou Qiluo immediately rolled his eyes with a smile, looking extremely satisfied: "Then, don't forget to watch the live broadcast! Zhou Qiluo, the star of the universe, is performing for you!"

"Well, I will." Li Youxue agreed directly, regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones.

Zhou Qiluo ended the internet call with great satisfaction.

【...It's only been a while, and the number of pots on your body is already a bit scary. 】The system is deeply worried. 【In this case, can you really handle it? 】

"What are you afraid of?" Li Youxue spread her hands indifferently. "They won't fight again."

【...Maybe it will happen like that? ] The system speculates hesitantly.

Li Youxue ignored it and continued to take care of her hair and makeup on her own, preparing to go to the company to complete the program design arrangement.

……

After a brief lunch and rest, Li Youxue, who was staying in the company office, received a gift box brought by Yueyue from the front desk: "Look! Professor Xu Da's heart! Bring it to you on the way... Do you want to thank me?" ?”

"Well, thank you very much." Li Youxue responded with a slight smile, and opened the package with it in her hand.

Inside the outer carton is a small blue velvet box.After opening the cover, there is an exquisite necklace lying quietly inside - a thin platinum chain passes through a crystal clear crystal, and in the crystal is a butterfly that is about to fly, and the butterfly's wings are dark blue outlined by gold rims starry sky pattern.

There is also a folded paper knot next to it.

Li Youxue stared at the pendant for a while, then carefully unwrapped the paper knot.

It is a piece of exquisite pink letter paper with fragrance, on which is a line of powerful handwriting: [I want to wear it for you personally, wait for me to come back——Xu Mo]

Li Youxue put the note back and pursed her lips.

The phone suddenly exploded with a deafening ringtone.

Li Youxue rubbed between her brows, then picked up the phone: "Hi, hello."

"It's me." Xu Mo's soft laughter came from the receiver. "...My gift, you have seen it, do you like it?

"Well, it's very delicate and special." Li Youxue thought about it for a while, and couldn't help stabbing him: "I didn't expect Professor Xu to be so good at giving gifts."

"Because it's a gift for you, I spent a lot of time choosing it." Xu Mo's gentle and affectionate tone gently brushed her ears. "It would be great if you could like it."

"Then can't I wear it and wait for you to come back?" Li Youxue rolled her eyes with an idea.

Xu Mo laughed.

[Xu Mo's favorability +33! 】system hint.

"Well, this is also a good choice." Xu Mo responded with a smile. "I'd love to wear it for you."

Li Youxue listened, raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Maybe it will be too late... I wish you a happy new year in advance."

Her words obviously made Xu Mo think of something, the young man pondered for a moment: "You must be very popular tonight, right?"

"Fortunately, the suitors should line up in the next building." Li Youxue responded calmly, and even made a joke.

"Then, enjoy the New Year's Eve well." Xu Mo seemed to cooperate with her jokes indifferently. "Although I'm not by your side, I will always remember you."

After listening to his routine words with a sneer, Li Youxue said a few more polite words before hanging up.

"This necklace..." Li Youxue stared at the pendant in the box for a while, then stretched out her hand to close the lid. "I always feel that there is some meaning... An imprisoned butterfly? Could it be that I think too much?" She raised her hand to tidy up her hair, thoughtfully.

【…】The system was already speechless by her keen intuition.

"In short, this pendant feels cold, so I don't wear it." To sum it up in one sentence, Li Youxue threw the small box into the backpack and began to pack her things - it was almost the time agreed with Bai Qi.

Sure enough, Bai Qi called soon: "I'm downstairs in your company."

"Okay, come." Li Youxue responded quickly, picked up her bag and left.

"Is Officer Bai the winner?" She heard Yue Yue lament from behind. "Oh, I want to call Mr. Li."

Gu Meng also sighed: "I feel that Professor Xu is a bit pitiful, so he gave the gift so carefully..."

"No, Zhou Qiluo is more pitiful, right?" Anna also participated in the discussion. "...I went to Xinyi for a live broadcast, but my sweetheart was kidnapped."

……

Li Youxue closed the door of the office amidst the endless discussions without changing her face.

"Their brains are so developed, it's a pity not to be a screenwriter." She said with a cold face.

【…】The system is as quiet as a chicken, but it actually wants to say: Didn't you rearrange the position!

All the way downstairs to the company, Li Youxue pushed open the glass door and saw Bai Qi sitting on Xiao Hei with his helmet in one hand.

Li Youxue subconsciously smiled at Bai Qi.

The broken chestnut hair fluttered in the wind, Bai Qi stared at her, raised the corners of his mouth in response.

Without much hesitation, Li Youxue jumped onto Bai Qi's locomotive, allowed Bai Qi to start the accelerator, and drove off like an arrow off the string.

For the next two hours, after shopping around in Shin Kong Department Store, they went to Shiguang Lane to pick out suitable suits and ties.Everything went well, and Bai Qi also bought a set of exquisite black suit with gold thread trim at Li Youxue's suggestion, paired with a pure black tie with gold inlaid dark pattern.

But when the two of them were carrying the packing bags and were going to sit in the cafe for a while before meeting last year, Bai Qi's cell phone rang.He just glanced at it, and his face changed slightly.

"Sorry, I have a call." Bai Qi whispered, turned and walked away.

Li Youxue stared at his back for a few moments, then lowered her head to look at the phone in her hand - the green breathing light was blinking, reminding her that someone was in touch.

Bai Qi didn't know what to say, and quickly hung up the phone and walked over again.

Li Youxue calmly put her phone back into her satchel, raised her eyes and waited for Bai Qi to speak.

Bai Qi's face was a little dignified, but he looked at her with a gentle look: "I have a temporary mission, it seems that I can't accompany you...be careful yourself."

Li Youxue thought about it quickly, and stood up regretfully: "You too, be careful... But, we can't spend New Year's Eve together. It's really a pity to see you wearing this suit."

Bai Qi fell into silence.

Soon, he raised his hand and patted her head comfortingly: "Go and play first... If the task ends early, I'll go find you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Youxue stared at his dark golden pupils and smiled at him.

[Bai Qi's favorability +34! 】

"...Let's go," Bai Qi looked away in a little embarrassment, his tone still a little uncomfortable. "I'll take you back."

"No need." Something flashed in Li Youxue's mind, and she blinked at him. "I still want to go shopping...you should do your work first."

Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left.

Watching Bai Qi gradually get away on the motorcycle, Li Youxue took out her phone and unlocked the screen lock.

[Li Dangdang: You have two hours left. ]

Li Youxue glanced at the text message, raised her hand and tapped her lower lip with her finger, and dialed the caller's number decisively.

After a brief "beep", the call was connected.

"Why, change your mind and want me to pick you up?" Li Zeyan asked casually.

Li Youxue took a second to build up her emotions, and replied with a smile, "What are you busy with? Do you have time to save me who is lost?"

"Where is it?" Li Zeyan probably expected that she might make a call, and immediately reacted.

"If I knew where this was, I wouldn't get lost." Li Youxue told him firmly.

[Li Zeyan's favorability degree +25! 】

"...You think too highly of yourself." Li Zeyan said harshly. "Is there any landmark building?"

"I met the restaurant." Li Youxue glanced at her and replied calmly. "...I'm at its - side door?"

"I'll be there in 10 minutes. During this period, stand still and don't move." Li Ze gave her instructions concisely.

Li Youxue hung up the phone expressionlessly.

[You obviously haven't lost your way? 】The system is very suspicious.

"It's better to leave these details to Li Zeyan to think about." Li Youxue smiled.

[…] The system was silent for a while.

It didn't take more than 10 minutes for Li Zeyan to arrive. The pure black Maybach stopped by the side of the road where Li Youxue was sitting, and the window was lowered, revealing the president's cold profile.

But when he turned his head to look at her, that feeling of indifference disappeared, leaving only an inexplicable softness.

"It seems that I was right to pick you up at four o'clock." Li Zeyan glanced at her and snorted. "It seems that you didn't achieve anything when you went shopping?"

Li Youxue opened the car door and got on the co-driver, she spread her hands together: "Going shopping is not about shopping, it's about feelings."

Li Zeyan frowned, turned his head and prepared to start again.

But Li Youxue suddenly put his left hand on the joystick - it was almost like putting his right hand on him.

Li Zeyan stopped his movements, turned his head and glanced at her quickly, his voice was so calm that he seemed to have no feeling: "What?"

[Li Zeyan's favorability +52! 】Of course, the sudden rise in favor shows that he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.

"I want to go to Luying Plaza for the New Year's Eve." Li Youxue stared at him cautiously. "I've thought about it, I still don't like that kind of perfunctory banquet... There should be an LED broadcast and a countdown on the square today."

Li Zeyan turned his gaze back, and was silent for two seconds before mocking with a half-smile: "It's really naive." But he didn't resist her clasping his palm at all.

Li Youxue smiled slightly and withdrew her hand.

Now Li Zeyan took a look at her, then turned his head coldly and restarted the car.

"Look, the fountain." When the car was parked in the parking lot by the side of the square, Li Youxue couldn't help pointing to the water splashes that exploded high in the distance to show him.

Li Zeyan took a follow-up glance: "What a fuss." But there was a smile on the corner of his lips.

Li Youxue didn't care about his complaints. She smiled and jumped out of the car with a coin in her hands. She folded her palms in front of the fountain, closed her eyes and prayed for a moment before turning around and tossing the coin behind her.

"Li Zeyan," she smiled when she saw the young CEO not far away. "Come and make a wish...for the new year."

Li Zeyan glanced at her, seeming a bit disgusted: "Stupid, if your wishes come true through fountains, then you might as well jump in."

"If the fountain is too powerful," Li Youxue dug into his pocket, took out another one and handed it to him. "Let me do it for you."

Li Zeyan was taken aback, seeing the earnest light in the eyes of the girl in front of him looking at him.

"It's better to believe in you than to believe in it." Reaching out to take the coin, Li Zeyan imitated her, clasped his hands together and prayed quietly, then turned around and tossed the coin out.

【Your mood today is a bit wrong. 】——The strategy is too aggressive?The system couldn't help but question it.

Li Youxue looked at Li Zeyan's back coldly, and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth.

"You're right," she said softly. "If I don't attack as soon as possible, I won't be able to go back as soon as possible."

"...I just, suddenly miss Dad." She glanced at the reddish sky at dusk, and said with a smile. "Maybe it's because of the Chinese New Year. The more prosperous it is, the more lonely it will be—isn't it ironic?"

【…】The system found itself unable to respond.

As the night darkened, people gradually increased in Luying Square.They will also make wishes at the fountain, and then watch the moon rise into the sky together. Finally, the fireworks illuminate the night, and the real-time broadcast of the Chinese New Year's special program on the Chinese Satellite TV begins on the large LED screen.

Zhou Qiluo's face also appeared in it.The blond hair curled up even more after being styled, and the azure pupils seemed to have starlight flowing.Facing the camera, he paused every word: "You in front of the camera, I miss you very much. Although I can't be by your side, I will always look at you and bring you happiness...Happy New Year. In the new year, please keep looking at me!"

Cheers of surprise from the girls resounded in the square.

"So you want to see this big star." Li Zeyan looked at Li Youxue's expression and frowned slightly.

The phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly, Li Youxue looked down, and smiled apologetically at Li Zeyan: "I'll take a call, I'll be back later."

Li Zeyan paused in obvious disapproval, as if he was about to say something.

Li Youxue has cleverly flashed into the crowd, approaching the relatively deserted fountain pool step by step, sitting on the stone platform and answering the phone: "Bai Qi?"

"Where are you?" Bai Qi's voice was cold and confused. "I'm already in Luying Plaza, and I didn't see you."

—Is it due to the locator?Li Youxue immediately understood: "Fountain pool."

"Why do you suddenly want to come to the square?" Bai Qi asked her curiously.

"I want to feel the excitement and the New Year's Eve together in a crowded place." Li Youxue pursed her lips. "Compared to this... Your mission is completed?"

"Hmm." A deep reply came from above her head.At the same time, a pair of black boots appeared on the ground in front of her eyes.

Li Youxue raised her eyes aware of it, and was facing Shang Baiqi's dark golden pupils.

"Congratulations, you found me." Li Youxue bent her eyes at him, with a pear blossom smile on her lips.

The fountain behind her burst out at this moment, and in Bai Qi's eyes, the water waves illuminated by various neon lights completely became the girl's background board.

[Bai Qi's favorability +51! 】

Bai Qi took a deep breath, took a step forward and pulled her into his arms.

At the same time, a huge roar resounded through the sky, and the fireworks rose into the sky, exploding into golden leaves and flowers.

Li Youxue suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Zeyan who was looking at him coldly not far away.For some unknown reason, he didn't approach, but the expression on his face was very indifferent.

Li Youxue raised her hands, covered her ears, and looked away, pretending not to notice him.

"Happy New Year." Taking two steps back and withdrawing from Bai Qi's embrace without a trace, Li Youxue pretended not to notice his slight disappointment, and spoke sincerely to him. "Thank you..." She thought for a while and continued. "I also feel that the fireworks were so noisy just now that even my ears were buzzing."

——In a word, interpret Bai Qi's unclear hug as her action to block the noise.

Bai Qi lowered his eyes: "You don't need to thank me."
