In the first year of high school, Nainai and Mr. Si were having a class discussion for the last language lesson before the Chinese New Year holiday. The topic of discussion was: What I Want to Do Most During the Chinese New Year.

  Everyone in the school started chatting. Generally, their inputs were that they wished they could play for an entire day, that their new year’s money wouldn’t be confiscated, or that they could receive many red packets.

  When Teacher Zhang, the language teacher, asked Nainai, Su Yanbin answered in her stead before she could even say anything, “I know Nainai’s resolution. It is to let Leader Ting accept her pursuit!”


  “Ha ha ha!”


  Everyone in the class burst into fits of laughter.

  However, Zhuang Nainai frowned. “No. No.”


  Teacher Zhang thought that Zhuang Nainai had finally changed her mind. Hence, he looked at her with anticipation. “Then, what’s your new year’s resolution?”


  Zhuang Nainai smiled shyly. “Now, I realized that having Si Zhengting to accept me is an extremely difficult task. So, I hope that next year…… I would be able to receive Si Zhengting’s new year’s greetings! Also, I hope that Si Zhengting would accept me in the following year!”


  After saying this, she curled her fingers into a fist, looking like a lovestruck fool. “Also, it would be better if I get to see lots of fireworks!”


  She lived in Xibali village, which was a poorer district. Hence, there were not many people releasing fireworks, unlike the downtown area, where there were many fireworks.

  If she could watch a lot of fireworks and also receive Si Zhengting’s message, how blissful would she feel?

  After she finished speaking, she looked at Si Zhengting with twinkling eyes.

  Everyone looked at Si Zhengting, as if on cue. However, he was reading a book with his head lowered. It seemed like he had not heard their conversation at all.

  Zhuang Nainai did not feel embarrassed at all. She simply sat down after answering the teacher’s question.

  Teacher Zhang: “.……”


  At last, Teacher Zhang looked at Si Zhengting. “Si Zhengting, do you have any new year’s resolution?”


  Si Zhengting looked up. He seemed to ponder for a moment before answering under everyone’s watchful gaze, “No.”


  Teacher Zhang: “.……”


  On New Year’s Eve, Zhuang Nainai had her phone with her the whole time. Occasionally, she would check for messages, only to feel disappointed.

  Perhaps Si Zhengting is too busy. Is that why he hasn’t seen it?

  Hence, she sent many new year’s greetings to Si Zhengting. However, she still did not get any reply.

  Dispirited, Zhuang Nainai checked her phone occasionally while she was watching the Chinese New Year Countdown show at night, but she still did not receive a message from him.

  Zhuang Nainai was dejected. She could not help but think, “Si Zhengting, if you really ignore me and my messages, I won’t…… I won’t continue liking you anymore!”


  Time was ticking, and Zhuang Nainai felt even more aggrieved.

  Unknowingly, she drifted off to sleep.

  When the clock struck 12 am, the boisterous sounds of firecrackers and fireworks suddenly resounded in the air!

  Zhuang Nainai opened her eyes drowsily. When she looked outside, her eyes lit up!

  The colorful fireworks were so beautiful and magnificent.

  Her eyes widened as she felt like her wish had finally come true! In that moment, her phone buzzed.

  She checked her messages immediately. Then, she saw the simple new year’s greeting on her screen: May all your wishes come true in the new year.

  The simple greeting looked like they were mass sent to everyone, but it made Zhuang Nainai jump for joy.

  Her eyes were lit up. Si Zhengting sent this to her!

  However, she became dazed afterward. Huh? May all your wishes come true in the new year. Didn’t that mean that…… her pursuit of him would be successful?
