Who is the Stand-In? 15

However, Meng Youning still followed Shen Qi's lead, lighting the candle on the small cake, clasping his hands together, closing his eyes, and slowly making a wish — that from now on, every New Year's Eve, he would have Shen Qi by his side.

"What did you wish for?" Shen Qi quickly asked after he blew out the candle.

Meng Youning shook his head gently. "Can't say. If I say it, it won't come true."

"Okay~" Shen Qi didn't press further. After sharing the cake with Meng Youning, she took out the dozen or so red envelopes she had received earlier.

"One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me..."

When they reached the last one, there was still one left.

Shen Qi stuffed the last red envelope into Meng Youning's hand. "Okay, my boyfriend also gets a red envelope this year."

Meng Youning stared blankly at the stack of red envelopes in his palm.

He knew that during the Spring Festival, elders would give red envelopes to the younger generation.
