Chapter 158 An old friend
The Su family has the habit of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.
It was almost twelve o'clock and Su Su was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. In order not to spoil everyone's interest, she did not leave early. Instead, she snuggled in Fu Yanzhou's arms and planned to take a nap.
"Want to sleep?" Fu Yanzhou looked at her dazed eyes.
Su Su buried her head in his arms and hummed, "I've never been this sleepy even when I was filming a night scene."
How can I not feel sleepy with a baby in my belly?
"I'll carry you upstairs to sleep." As he said that, Fu Yanzhou put his hand on Su Su's slender waist.
Su Su opened her eyes instantly: "No, I want to stay up all night."
Staying up all night to celebrate the New Year is an annual custom of the Su family.
"But you are sleepy and need to sleep." Fu Yanzhou looked at her stubbornly.
Noticing the movement over there, Nan Jia turned around, looked at the two people, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, it's okay." Su Su let go of the hands that were clinging to Fu Yanzhou's waist, stood up from his arms and sat up straight.
Nan Jia didn't say anything for a while, just looked at Su Su quietly. Seeing that she looked drowsy, she understood in her heart: "Su Su, go to your room if you want to sleep."
Since Nan Jia had spoken, Su Su didn't want to show off, because she was so sleepy that she couldn't tell which way was which.
"Okay, then Fu Yanzhou and I will go back to the room."
"Go ahead." Nan Jia said gently.
Seeing the two people disappearing, Su Luo also wanted to go back to his room. He put down his phone and called out expressionlessly, "Mom."
Nan Jia didn't even look at him: "You are not allowed to."
"But I'm sleepy too. While you feel sorry for your daughter, you also have to feel sorry for your son, OK?" Su Luo couldn't concentrate on watching the Spring Festival Gala just now. Shen Shuyan didn't reply to his message either. He just played a few games out of boredom.
Nan Jia mercilessly exposed him: "Are you sleepy? I don't believe it. I saw you staying up all night when you played games before. Why are you sleepy at this time today?"
Nan Jia was telling the truth. Su Luo took a long time to utter, "Mom, you are treating me differently."
"Don't accuse me of treating you differently." Nan Jia leaned over and grabbed a handful of snacks for Su Luo, "Mom, I still love you."
"..."
Looking at the handful of snacks in his arms, Su Luo twitched his lips. He really couldn't accept such fucking love.
Second floor bedroom -
Su Su took a shower before returning to the Su family. She went back to her room, changed into a pink lace nightgown, and snuggled into bed.
"You go take a shower. I'm going to sleep first." Su Su lay on her side, half-closed her eyes, and looked at Fu Yanzhou.
"Okay, go to sleep first." Fu Yanzhou covered her with the quilt, and then gave her a very light kiss on the forehead: "Good night, baby."
As long as two people sleep together at night, a goodnight kiss is essential.
"Good night, husband." After saying that, Su Su closed her eyes.
The lighting in the bedroom is adjustable. Fu Yanzhou dimmed the light a lot before picking up the bathrobe on the sofa and going to the bathroom.

Lotus City——
On New Year’s Eve, a grand fireworks display was held on the outskirts of Liancheng.
Liancheng is Wen Yan's hometown. Xiaoran flew to Liancheng yesterday just to meet her boyfriend whom she hadn't seen for a long time and wish him a happy new year.
After Wen Yan received a call from Xiaoran, he hurried to the fireworks display in the suburbs.
The event is held every year in Liancheng, but Wen Yan has never been to see it since that incident.
Xiaoran dressed up specially in a black dress and a white lambskin jacket. Since she didn't know how to put on makeup, Xiaoran ran to more than a dozen stores before she found a store that was open. She paid someone to help her put on a pure makeup look.
When Wen Yan arrived, Xiao Ran had already taken a seat.
"When did you come to Liancheng?" Wen Yan ran over, breathing a little quickly.
"We arrived in Liancheng last night." Xiaoran took out a tissue from her bag, tore off a piece, and wiped the sweat from Wen Yan's forehead.
Wen Yan grabbed Xiaoran's wrist and said in a tough tone: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Ran looked at the anger in his pupils and felt very puzzled. Almost every time she came to see him without telling him, he would always look angry: "You...what's wrong with you."
Wen Yan stared at her for a long time, and the strength in his hand gradually weakened. Finally, he let go of her wrist and said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry."
"It's okay." Xiaoran lowered her eyes. There was already a red mark on her fair wrist, which she then covered with her sleeve.
After that, neither of them spoke, and watched the fireworks display seriously.
Xiao Ran didn't want this to happen when they met, so she took the initiative to show her friendship: "When I came here yesterday, I asked the locals if there were any fun places. A passerby said that there is a grand fireworks show in Liancheng every New Year's Eve."
Wen Yan pursed his lips and didn't look at her.
There was no answer. Xiao Ran felt empty inside and forced a smile: "Since you are from here, I think you must have come here quite a few times."
At exactly midnight, fireworks will explode in the sky.
"It only came once, and there was no more after that." As he spoke, Wen Yan recalled the scene in his mind, his pupils filled with pain.
Xiaoran didn't see the emotion in Wen Yan's eyes: "Why."
One second, two seconds, three seconds, Wen Yan did not respond. Just when Xiao Ran thought he would not respond to her, she heard an extremely light voice in her ear: "Because of an old friend."
"Old friend?" Xiaoran repeated those two words subconsciously.
Wen Yan didn't say another word: "In one minute, the fireworks display will begin."
The people around were extremely excited and couldn't wait.
After taking a look at Wen Yan's expression, Xiaoran knew what to do and didn't ask any more questions.
In the last five seconds, everyone counted down together.
five four three two one.
At exactly midnight, the night sky was instantly lit up by fireworks. The colorful fireworks streaked across the sky in the darkness, like a huge painting, embellishing the night with poetic beauty.
Xiaoran tilted her head back and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky. She had heard that making a wish on fireworks could come true, but she didn't know if it was true.
Xiaoran tilted her head and looked at Wen Yan with a calm expression, as if she was not surprised at all.
"Wen Yan." Xiaoran called his name softly.
The sound of the fireworks was very loud, coupled with the noise around them, Xiaoran thought Wen Yan didn't hear it, so he raised his voice a degree.
Seeing that the man never responded, Xiaoran felt a little bitter.
"Wen Yan, Happy New Year." Xiaoran suppressed the emotions in her heart. Even though her eyes were sore, she still looked at him and wished him the best.
This time, Wen Yan turned around and looked at Xiaoran, his tone was calm, without a trace of emotion: "Xiaoran, Happy New Year."
Xiaoran bit her lower lip: "Yeah."
In the end, Xiaoran did not finish watching the fireworks display. The emotions in her heart took over her whole body. She lowered her head and her tears fell to the ground.
Wen Yan didn't say anything either, just stood there quietly.
It was half an hour before the fireworks ended.
"Let's go?" Wen Yan asked.
Xiao Ran wiped her eyes quickly. Her legs felt numb from having been doing the same thing. She was afraid of delaying Wen Yan's return home, so she said, "You go back. I can go back by myself."
