It was already late at night when the two of them returned to Mirror Lake.

The snow stopped, and the winter moon hung high in the sky.

" Firework is a folk craft. It's usually released during festivals to ward off evil and pray for a good year. "

Crackling sounds rang out between heaven and earth.

It was as if all the firecrackers had been detonated at this moment. All the fireworks had soared into the sky, and all the loneliness had been swept away.

Su Tian covered her ears in shock. " What's wrong? "

" Noon is over, " Xia Ji said. " A new year has arrived. " Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year," Su Tian said sweetly.

"I'm sorry," she said.
