Classmates, stop chasing me. The freshman beauty is my girlfriend.

Ji Yingge's face appeared in the camera. She smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong? Little Qingyuan."

Jiang Yuan looked at her environment and asked in surprise, "Little Huangying? Are you at home on New Year's Eve?"

"Yeah, I'm reviewing."

The final exam of Hudu University is one week later than that of Nanhai University.

The white-haired girl was wearing winter pajamas and curled up in the single sofa in the living room, with a book on management next to her.

The little feet were stretched in the solid wood fire box, covered by a small quilt.

The interior of the mansion was actually equipped with floor heating, but her hands and feet were always cold in winter, and it would be more comfortable to roast by the fire.

Lin Senmu's face squeezed into the camera, and he was also surprised: "No way, you missed one night to review? Didn't you go out with your friends on New Year's Eve?"

"No~"

Ji Yingge's cheeks were sunken with dimples, but she held back, not wanting to tell Lin Senmu that there were two green grass scraps on his head.

"Didn't your friends at Hudu University invite you?"

Jiang Yuan asked with doubt: "I called you on video, I wanted to see what you were doing with your friends over there!"

"Well... they invited me, I, I didn't go because I had to review..."

Ji Yingge's eyes were a little evasive, and her words were vague.

"Lie!"

Lin Senmu exposed it at a glance.

Jiang Yuan frowned and lectured in a sisterly tone, "Sister Yingying, you've been in the new school for two months. Haven't you made any friends?"

"Yes, I have... I even have a boyfriend..."

Ji Yingge was so busy quibbling that she didn't notice being called 'Sister Yingying' and was even 'making up a boyfriend out of nothing'.

Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes. You already have a boyfriend, why are you still home alone today?

"Where is your boyfriend?"

Lin Senmu is a down-to-earth person who likes to get to the bottom of things.

"He, he... is busy?"

Ji Yingge found that she didn't know how to cover up her lie.

So she quietly switched the camera to the side to avoid being found guilty.

"Little Huangying, why are you hiding? The camera is facing you."

The tone of Jiang Yuan's speech pulled out the attribute of 'sister' to the fullest.

Ji Yingge obediently switched back to the camera and faced herself again.

She said with a gloomy face, "I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't have any friends. I know you care about me, but..."

Jiang Yuan said, "You lied to me about eating apples on Christmas Eve, right? And you lied about receiving gifts on Christmas, right?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Qingyuan."

Ji Yingge hurriedly admitted her mistake when she noticed that Jiang Yuan's tone was a little angry.

Jiang Yuan wanted to get angry because her good sister lied to her, but she felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Ji Yingge's pitiful appearance in the camera.

She said softly, "Next New Year's Eve, Sen Sen and I will come to accompany you."

"Really?"

Instantly, Ji Yingge's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Yeah."

Jiang Yuan pointed her phone at the venue and slowly rotated the camera, "Little Yellow Oriole, Sen Sen, Nie Hao and I are celebrating the New Year at Cuilv Garden tonight. You can release Kongming lanterns here."

Nie Hao had come back from smoking a cigarette a long time ago. Seeing that he was called, he smiled, "Hi, Ji Yingge, long time no see."

"Nie Hao, long time no see."

Ji Yingge greeted her and then looked at the lively atmosphere over there with her good friend. Her face showed a look of longing, imagining that it would be nice if she was there too.

Lin Senmu patted Jiang Yuan gently, and when his girlfriend looked over, he pointed at the Kongming lantern on the ground.

Jiang Yuan was stunned at first, and after understanding what he meant, he nodded vigorously.

Lin Senmu squeaked beside her, "Little Yellow Oriole, I'll buy you a Kongming lantern and help you release it later."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Senmu~~"

When Ji Yingge is not white-cut black, her little mouth is actually quite sweet.

Lin Senmu got up and went back and forth.

After he came back, he removed the packaging bag, took out the red fireproof paper, and started making a new Kongming lantern.

Jiang Yuan pointed the camera at Lin Senmu's hands and explained: "Little Huangying, Sensen is now swinging the mouth of the lantern, which is inflating. When enough air enters, the paper will become a lantern."

"Then put the candle on it, light it and you can fly it."

After a pause, she continued: "But there are still ten minutes to fly."

"Oh~~"

Ji Yingge's eyes were full of expectation. At this moment, although she was not in Coconut City, she was full of participation.

Ten minutes, if you chat, it will pass very quickly.

At 23:55, the police on duty at this estuary held a loudspeaker and shouted: "All those who are releasing Kongming lanterns can get ready now. It will end at 0:10."

When the voice of the police fell, the young people around them all got up from the grass and began to check their lanternsCage.

The folks on the island have the custom of flying Kongming lanterns, so they can get a special permit.

There are not only police officers on duty at the scene, but also two fire trucks to prevent any accidents.

"Little Yellow Oriole, there are still two minutes left. I will keep the camera on our Kongming lanterns and let you watch them take off!"

Because the surroundings are quite noisy, Jiang Yuan can only speak loudly, and the blue veins on her white and tender neck are faintly visible.

"Okay~~"

Ji Yingge nodded obediently.

"Baby, here!"

Lin Senmu handed a Kongming lantern with a lit candle to Jiang Yuan.

Before the Kongming lantern is released, it needs to be preheated for dozens of seconds to allow the gas from the burning candle to fill the inside of the Kongming lantern to a full state.

"Hehe, Little Yellow Oriole, your Kongming lantern, I will help you fly it later."

In order to let Ji Yingge see carefully, Jiang Yuan used the camera of his mobile phone to shine the Kongming lantern back and forth.

Nie Hao held his Kongming lantern in one hand and pressed the lighter with the other hand to help Lin Senmu light the two Kongming lanterns in his left and right hands.

"Countdown!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

As the voice of the police came out from the loudspeaker.

People at the entrance of Cuilvyuan released their Kongming lanterns together.

In an instant, countless red lanterns floated into the night sky, illuminating the night sky.

At the same time, the scene was filled with overwhelming shouts: "Goodbye 2024, hello 2025!"

Lin Senmu, Jiang Yuan, Nie Hao, affected by this emotion, all shouted in unison.

"Goodbye, 2024!"

"Hello, 2025!"

Ji Yingge was not at the scene. She stared at the screen of her mobile phone without blinking, and the screen was the endless night sky.

And in the endless night sky, there were dense and dazzling Kongming lanterns.

The night sky was dyed with lights, and the lights illuminated the sea.

She listened to the deafening sound over there and whispered: "Goodbye, 2024."

"Hello, 2025."

At this moment, the white-haired girl was no longer lonely even though she was alone.

For the sake of safety, today's Kongming lanterns are all improved models, and the time to burn in the air is about ten minutes.

Therefore, the police continued to use the loudspeaker to spread the message, "Don't forget to make a wish, it will fall in a few minutes."

Kongming lanterns, also known as wishing lanterns.

Young people have no resistance to romance.

Jiang Yuan was the first to close his eyes and sincerely made a wish in his heart.

Nie Hao put his hands together and made a wish.

Lin Senmu's wish, "I hope these three people will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Although Ji Yingge was not at the scene, she also closed her eyes gently and made a pious wish.
