Chapter 884: Two-Kilowatt Light Bulb
or less it was within his realm of expertise. Therefore, Xu Zhuoning also cautiously considered this matter."Offline gatherings aren't impossible, but right now I don't even know how many people will...Besides, it wasn't like he was going to ruin the family reunion by not being there. Gu Ke'yu thought about it for a long time but ultimately decided against it. He chose to stay with the crew and celebrate the New Year together.
Besides Gu Ke'yu, Gu Kejun also only stayed in the crew to spend the New Year together. Wang Cuifen has passed away, and the two of them have now become orphans without parents, with no place to go back to.
The crew’s work had already stopped a few days before New Year's Eve, and many people returned to their hometowns to reunite with their families. Gu Ke Yucheng and the others could only continue to endure these few days of holidays here, feeling both like an ordeal and a rare kind of relaxation.
On New Year's Eve, as soon as it was past five o'clock, Gu Ke Yu was still soundly asleep when he heard the continuous and explosive sound of firecrackers outside.
The last vestiges of sleep were dispelled with the sound of firecrackers. Gu Ke'yu didn't turn over or go out to join the festivities; she simply lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Time flies, it's been over two years since she was reborn. The Spring Festival in 2013 seemed a few degrees colder than usual, and it wasn't many years left until the accident in 2017 of her past life.
At this moment, which should have been filled with joy, Gu Ke'yu inexplicably felt a sense of melancholy. She slowly turned over and walked to the bathroom, tidying herself up before finally deciding to step out and see what the New Year's Eve sky looked like.
The hotel, which was usually bustling with people, now had very few guests. Apart from Gu Ke Yu and his companions, there were only a handful of business travelers.
Unlike usual days, the streets were bustling on New Year's Eve. Families with big and small bags went out shopping everywhere. Gu Ke Yu held his hands in his coat pockets and felt both cold and lonely as he walked around.
She thought she had spent many Spring Festivals alone and desolate. Now, seeing these scenes wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable, but looking at the smiles on people's faces, she suddenly felt that she had no expectations left in this world. It seemed like everything isolated her from everyone else.
Perhaps because she was overthinking, Gu Keyu always felt that the crowds around her seemed to stare at her with strange eyes. She felt out of place standing on the street, as if everyone was huddled together for warmth while she stood alone in the cold wind.
A crushing wave of grief washed over her, leaving Gu Ke'yu unsteady on the street. If her parents were still alive, they would probably be enjoying a happy family reunion right now, but it was all just an empty dream.
I was originally planning to take a few days to really treat myself, but now Gu Ke Yu is looking at all the New Year's goods and has no interest at all. He didn't even eat much for breakfast, just waved his hand and decided to go back to the hotel to watch programs.
She paid for the meal and stood up, about to slowly walk back to the hotel. As she turned around, she saw Lu Jianyuan in a wool coat standing outside the transparent glass. He had a doting smile on his face as he looked straight at her.
A tremendous sense of happiness surged over Gu Ke'yu, she rushed out of the breakfast shop in a flash, and ran straight toward Lu Jiayan who was standing outside. She felt her vision blurring, tears welling up and spilling down her cheeks like a floodgate had been opened.
Gu Ke Yu didn't even bother to wipe her tears, she flung herself into Lu Ji Yan's arms. Suddenly, she found a sense of belonging, as if in the vast sea of people, there was always someone to shield her from the wind and rain of this world.
"Since you weren't home for the New Year, how did you end up here"
Gu Ke Yu stretched out his hand to tightly hug Lu Ji Yan's strong waist, tears wiping frantically on his shirt, even his voice was a bit hoarse, coquettish.
Lu Ji extended his hand to soothe Gu Ke's back, then jokingly said to her, "What's wrong Are you still not happy seeing me today"
Gu Ke Yu was overwhelmed by a surge of happiness, burying her face in his chest without uttering a word. Lu Ji Yan gently pushed her back.
"Forget it, I guess I'd better go back. They don't want me here, so I won't stay."
"Stop!"
Gu Ke Yu hurriedly reached out and tightly hugged Lu Ji Yan's waist. Although she knew it was just a joke, her heart still skipped a beat at the words.
"How could I not be happy I'm telling you, I'm so happy I want to shout it from the rooftops!"
Gu Ke'yu absolutely didn't mean to joke. She felt that before meeting Lu Jiyan, she was like a lone leaf adrift in the vast ocean of people. But after meeting him, she suddenly felt like she had found her home.
"I understand, I know you're very happy now."
Lu Ji extended his hand and roughly touched Gu Ke Yu's nape, then with a force pulled her heavily into his embrace. He rested his chin on top of her head and whispered softly, "I was just joking earlier, how could I possibly leave you today on New Year's"
Gu Ke'yu felt that she was finally no longer alone. In this joyous and lively family gathering, she also found her other half. The two of them didn't say anything, didn't do anything, they just stood on the street staring at each other.
Then came a flurry of conversations about their feelings towards the Lunar New Year. To outsiders, these might have sounded like trivial matters, but Gu Ke'yu found himself genuinely happy. It felt like ages since he had been this cheerful.
"Why did you suddenly come to see me today Won't your family have a problem with this"
Gu Ke Yu sat in the passenger seat, gripping his seatbelt tightly with a nervous expression as he asked Lu Ji Yan.
After all, today is not just any other day. It's better for the whole family to be together on holidays like New Year's Eve.
You don't have to worry about these things. Our family is large, and we don't particularly emphasize this Spring Festival. Besides, everyone can't get together every year, and there isn't much atmosphere. Everyone would rather do their own thing.
Lu Jiyan looked straight ahead, then turned his head with a smile and whispered to Gu Ke'yu: "They won't have any objections. Besides, I'm not here with someone else today, I'm here with my future wife to celebrate the Spring Festival."
Originally, Gu Ke Yu was still a little worried. After hearing Lu Ji Yan's words, the big stone in her heart finally fell. Suddenly having someone by her side, she felt like being enveloped in warmth. Along the way, she watched as people outside chattered non-stop.
They returned to the hotel where the crew was staying together. Because it was the Chinese New Year, there were hardly any cars on the road, so Lu Jiayan still drove himself from S city. It took several hours to get to this nearby city, so Gu Ke yu insisted that he rest for a few hours in the hotel.ng, the director, that way at the time. Actually, he just wanted to protect her in another, more thorough way.Online comments were overwhelmingly critical of Gao Zhiqing, with some media outlets even...
