The Ye family got together to spend the new year's night together in a dinner party. The Feng Ruhai Family also came to visit. Although the two families had been good friends for decades, it was the first time Feng Ruhai had come to visit on the eve of the new year.
"Uncle Feng," Ye Futian greeted Feng Ruhai, then sat down between Ye Xiaoqin and Ye Mo.
"You will officially be sixteen years old after tonight, Ye Futian. You look even more handsome," praised Feng Ruhai. As a result of the continuous cultivation Ye Futian went through, she now looked even more charming than before. He had become a young man with a handsome face, looking like a model.
Feng Qingxue continued to stare at Ye Futian from afar. He still could not forget what had happened in the academy one month before, when the young man stood with another beautiful girl in the snow, and they fought against the academy's higher ups together. Ye Futian used to make fun of him all the time, and he believed that this brat would be around him forever. But now, there was a distance between them.
What if...he had not spoken to Ye Futian with such a horrible attitude back then?
"This boy only inherited about thirty percent of my face," Ye Baichuan said. "But Qingxue is growing more and more beautiful, she is too beautiful to be your descendant," joked Ye Baichuan. Feng Ruhai was speechless, he could only stare at Ye Baichuan.
"Stop bragging. Why aren't these kids engaged?" Ye Rong, Ye Futian's aunt, smiled and cut off the conversation.
Ye Futian was shocked by this, while panic flashed in Feng Qingxue's eyes. He lowered his head to avoid the sight thrown at him.
Feng Ruhai looked at Ye Futian, and Ye Rong continued to speak, "Brother, why are you looking at her? I know this boy very well. Really, she would laugh all night if Qingxue said yes to this engagement."
"Yes, yes, Ye Futian loves pretty girls." Ye Xiaoqin spoke for her mother.
"It looks like you're lucky, man." Ye Mo muttered to Ye Futian. Ye Futian felt awkward because no one bothered to ask about his opinion.
"Qingxue, what do you think?" Ye Rong looked at Feng Qingxue. Feng Qingxue's face reddened due to all the attention that was on her. He glanced at Ye Futian and immediately recalled the time when the other girl was defending Ye Futian. He suddenly felt disappointed and shook his head, "He's too good for me, Aunt Ye."
He just rejected that advice.
Ye Rong was a bit embarrassed but she smiled and said, "It's okay. You're young, and there's enough time for you to build your relationship."
"No, it's not gonna happen." Ye Xiaoqin tried to help her cousin.
"So dear, brother." Ye Mo muttered to his cousin.
"Futian, you need to work harder, and I'm sure Qingxue will finally accept you someday" Ye Dongliu, Ye Futian's uncle, also chimed in. They all thought that Ye Futian had just been rejected by the girl. Ye Futian remained silent and nodded. Actually, he didn't care what others thought.
Soon, someone approached the Ye family home. A guard from the house came with a message. "Someone is looking for Mr. Ye Futian outside."
"Searching?" Ye Futian did not know who it was.
"Go away," Ye Baichuan told him.
"Good" Ye Futian nodded and followed the guard.
After he left, Ye Rong started talking to Feng Qingxue again, "Qingxue, you guys have grown up together over the years. Give him time and a chance to prove himself."
Feng Qingxue felt even more embarrassed. He wondered who was waiting outside.
Right at that moment, Ye Futian stepped out of the door, she recognized the beautiful figure waiting outside quietly. She was so shocked that suddenly a bright smile appeared on her face: "Wow, you miss me?"
Hua Jieyu glared at him and said, "Dad told me that this city will be crowded tonight, so I thought I should go for a walk. I realized that this was Ye's family home, so I was curious and wanted to ascertain if this was really your home. Looks like my guess is right."
"Wow, what a coincidence." Ye Futian's eyes shone, and he looked at the girl with a strange expression as if he was hiding his laughter. Deep down, he felt extremely shocked by this unexpected visit.
"Do you mind if I join you for a walk?" Ye Futian asked.
"I'm right outside your house. Why don't you be a friendly host and invite me in?" Hua Jieyu's cute attitude when asking questions almost melted Ye Futian's heart.
"Nh ..." Ye Futian was surprised by this offer. Bringing a girl home on a new year's night like .. meeting with parents to propose an engagement?
"You don't want to?" Hua Jieyu asked with a smile, realizing the shame of the boy.
"How can I say no? Even if you're ugly, I'd still be willing to take you to meet my family." Ye Futian teased him, and Hua Jieyu pretended to be angry at the joke.
He smiled at Ye Futian and condensed the strength around him again: "Dangerous huh?"
"True men never fight!" Ye Futian felt a threat in his movements. He turned and ran.
"Am I ugly? Tell me!" Hua Jieyu chased after him, laughing.
"Well, what if I call you my beautiful wife?" Ye Futian responded.
"Yes Futian!"
They ran.
The guards exchanged looks. Someone said in awe, "Oh my God, he's very good at dealing with women."
"Too smart," another guard agreed.
Hua Jieyu and Ye Futian walked into the party together. Hua Jieyu asked him, "Is your whole family here during the new year?"
"Yes, that's our tradition." Ye Futian nodded, and not long after, they reached beside the table. The people in the room were quite surprised that Ye Futian had brought a beautiful girl in front of them at a time like this.
"A very beautiful girl!" Ye Mo was startled by his cousin.
Ye Rong blinked. He looked at Hua Jieyu, then Feng Qingxue. He had to admit that the newcomer was much prettier.
Feng Qingxue never imagined that Hua Jieyu would appear in the Ye family home at a time like this, in such a meaningful situation. He felt very disappointed. She lowered her head and squeezed the end of her skirt.
"Futian, please introduce the girl," Ye Rong said.
"It's Hua Jieyu," Ye Futian began to introduce, "She ... Uh ... daughter of my teacher."
"Princess of your teacher?"
People were smiling and a kind of 'understanding' appeared in their eyes. Hua Jieyu's cheeks turned rather hot and felt a little panicked but she did not reject this feeling. In fact, he was happy about it.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's sit down." Ye Baichuan immediately recognized who he was. He felt that something was going on between this girl and her son when they met after the Autumn Quarter Assessment. However, he never expected that his son was worthy enough to successfully bring him home in such a short period of time.
Ye Mo gave his seat to Hua Jieyu so that he could sit next to Ye Futian. After the introduction, Hua Jieyu started greeting the family members one by one in a sweet manner.
Ye Futian was surprised. Hua Jieyu had never treated her in such a manner before.
"Hey, Ye Futian, how could you trick him into coming here?" Ye Xiaoqin asked her cousin.
"Of course with my amazing face." Ye Futian smiled at his cousin. Ye Xiaoqin looked at her cousin in disdain. No matter how handsome he was, the girl sitting next to him was not comparable to him. In fact, Ye Xiaoqin never imagined that there might be a girl as beautiful as Hua Jieyu.
After sitting down, Hua Jieyu did nothing but sit still. However, the entire atmosphere had changed since his arrival. Not too long later, Feng Qingxue muttered to her father, "Dad, I'm full now. Let's just go home."
"OK," Feng Ruhai nodded. Then the Feng family said goodbye and left. Ye Rong noticed that Feng Qingxue's eyes were avoiding Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu who were sitting together. He suddenly realized that what Feng Qingxue said was true, and not for the reason of rejection.
"Dad, mother, I'll take Jieyu for a walk" Ye Futian said.
"Sure, please. Take care of him," Ye Baichuan replied.
"Sure," Ye Futian replied, then they left the house together.
Colorful fireworks are everywhere above the city, and the Qingzhou Lake area has the best views of the city. People boarded ships on the lake, some of them were a family, and the others were a couple. The restaurant by the lake is full of people. They all enjoyed the beautiful view while drinking.
"It's beautiful." Hua Jieyu and Ye Futian stopped. While looking at the scenery around them, happiness could be seen in the eyes of the girl.
"It's not as beautiful as you are" Ye Futian said. Hua Jieyu looked at him cynically but deep down she was happy to be praised like this. He had never felt this unique happiness before.
This was apparently the resurrection of first love for a sixteen year old girl.
Hua Jieyu walked around the place. There's a lot of entertainment there. Lantern puzzles, magic tricks ... Ye Futian continued to follow him. The sweet smile on his face suddenly melted all the depression he had been experiencing lately. Ye Futian finally realized that he could not calm down without the girl. They had only spent three months together, but it was a pleasant moment, they were already bound to each other without even realizing it.
At the edge of the lake, Hua Jieyu saw many tourists putting lanterns on the water. He then bought one, put it in the lake, closed his eyes, and prayed for his hope.
"I'm done," he opened his eyes and told Ye Futian.
"What's your hope?" Ye Futian asked.
"I didn't tell you," Hua Jieyu smiled at him. Then he looked up at the sky, where a bright fireworks display was taking place, and muttered to Ye Futian, "Are we in a relationship right now?
"Nh ..." Ye Futian hesitated. He didn't expect to be asked like this. "What kind of relationship?" Ye Futian blinked his eyes.
Hua Jieyu looked at the sky, not at Ye Futian. But at the next moment, Ye Futian felt a soft hand touch his arm as if looking for something.
Ye Futian grabbed his hand. A smile appeared on his lips. Feeling the softness of the hand, he squeezed it slightly.
Hua Jieyu flushed. He muttered, "Relationships like this."
Ye Futian closed her eyes, then opened them again. They enjoy bright fireworks together while holding hands, just like all happy couples would.
It was the first time Ye Futian had realized that a fox could be so cute and silly!
It seemed like time had stopped and everything became quiet. None of them talk to each other.. However, Ye Futian believed that the smile on Hua Jieyu's face was brighter than fireworks.
