Annie patted Dave on the shoulder like a little adult and said, "How about you perform when setting off
fireworks, Big Beard? If you succeed, I will delete a request."
Olive wants to see what he can do, "But there's no rope at home to drag the car." said Dave.
"Well okay, Big Beard, then next time, don't forget." Annie advised repeatedly.
Dave couldn't help sighing, "Oh, Annie, you are such a tough little guy and hard to get along with, I bet
when you grow up, the guy who marries you will suffer a headache from you."
"That's not gonna happen, I'm not going to marry a coward who's going to get a headache from me."
Although she was a little girl, her tone was very big.
"Wow, such a little girl has a big tone." Dave and others laughed.
Many years later, this matter would always be mentioned as a joke, Aniet really regreted what she said
at that time, and other people laughed at her, which was not fair, because at that time, she was just a
child understand nothing.
Back to now, Aniet's mother chose two of the dumplings, each of which quietly put a disinfected coin,
Ivy ate one of them and noticed the coin inside.
It was said that if a person who eat the dumpling with the coin in it on New Year's Eve, he or she will be
very lucky and happy in the new year.
Although it was superstitious, people were willing to put their wishes on dumplings with coins, which
can also enhance the atmosphere of New Year's Eve.
So people around the table began to scramble for another dumpling with coin.
Xenia never knew there was such a funny thing, because in her home, the atmosphere was always
depressed around the New Year, not like here, happy and interesting, she murmured, hoping she could
got the last dumpling with coin inside, finally, she found the dumpling as expected and jumped up
happily, "I got it, I got it, I got it, I am so lucky." said Xenia.
She was so excited that she repeated several times.
Olive could saw that what made Xenia happier was that she and Ivy had dumplings with coins inside.
What a auspicious omen.
It was definitely a lively New Year's Eve, after dinner, everyone gave Annie the lucky money in a red
pocket, and it was a lot of money, which embarrassed Olive because the money was really too much,
but everyone just spoke with one voice to put an end to her embarrassment, "it's a blessing for Annie."
Annie, the girl who lost her father, was loved by so many people, and that made Olive felt happiness
still exists.
When setting off fireworks, Olive looked at the gorgeous night sky and thought, "Alan, although I don't
want to bless Ophelia, I do hope you can be happy."
What a contradictory thought.
After the bell rang at 12 o'clock, everyone waved fireworks and said happy new year to each other, and
if there was a bonfire at the moment, they would certainly dance around it.
Time flies, and a year has passed.
Olive constantly received messages from her colleagues and friends, most of which can be found on
the Internet, but she noticed there was a message sent from an unknown number, with a simple
"Happy New Year!"
Olive can't describe that feeling, she had an intuition that the owner of this unknown number was the
one who gave Annie a birthday present.
She hesitated for a moment, then left the crowd, went to a quiet place and called the unknown number,
but no one answered.
She made two calls in a row, but no one answered.
When the people left, Olive said goodbye to her friends, then she went back home and checked the
unknown number on the Internet, and found that it belonged to Luo city.
Who sent the message? She was confused and thought.
Alan, who is far away in Jiangcheng, came back to his bedroom with tiredness after the new year's bell,
he looked at the call display on his mobile phone screen, then a warm smile appeared on his cold face.
Olive, it turned out you could be curious, I thought you didn't care about anything, he thought to
himself.
If the result of this chase game of love was what you want, then you already got what you want. But
don't expect this peaceful time to be long. Because the new year was just the beginning of all this.
Alan spent five years to find her, so he wouldn't give up easily. The reason why he changed his strategy
was that he needed some time to arrange everything and make sure there wouldn't be any possible
mistakes.
The bedroom door was quietly pushed open by Ophelia, and her hands quietly held Alan from behind,
all he did was stand still with coldness in his eyes.
She leaned her face against his back and murmured, "Alan."
"It's very late now, it's time for you to go to bed as you have to get up early tomorrow morning, I don't
want you to get up late on the first day of the new year, besides, you like to sleep late since you were a
child, aren't you?" He said with his back to her, no expression on his face.
But Ophelia thought that he was caring about her, so she jumped up to him and said, "I'll set three
alarms, so it's impossible for me to get up late, besides, I promised mother to prepare breakfast
tomorrow."
His mouth was slightly raised, no one knew whether it was a smile or a sarcasm, and he said, "You
have never done these things before, and you will prepare breakfast? It would be nice if you don't
bother aunt Chou tomorrow morning."
"How can you look down on me?" She said unhappily, "If I make delicious dishes by myself tomorrow,
what would you reward me with?"
What he didn't know was that Ophelia quietly went to cooking class so that one day she could show her
skills in front of him and make him look at her with great admiration.
