When Shi Chao received the red envelope, he didn’t open it and didn’t feel curious.
Because it belonged to Lu Lili herself, and he had to take it to her.
After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, Shi Chao carried the big red envelope and went to the neighboring room 303.
In fact, ever since he turned ten, he didn’t really care about wearing new clothes for the Chinese New Year anymore.
This time, the new clothes he was wearing were matching couple outfits with his girlfriend.
The men’s outfit was black, and the women’s outfit was white.
Of course, Shi Chao was currently wearing the women’s outfit, while Lu Lili was wearing the men’s outfit.
To keep the white outfit clean, Shi Chao was being very careful with his movements.
Inside room 303, the three of them sat around a stove, eating hot pot, and Shi Chao even put on protective sleeves to avoid getting his new clothes dirty, all because he was afraid of ruining them.
“Brother Shi Chao, you look so cute!” Lu Lili said with a straight face but a teasing glint in her eyes.
Shi Chao blushed a bit, “This is our first couple outfit.”
He has to cherish it!
Shi Yan quietly added meat and vegetables to the boiling hot pot with her chopsticks.
Listening to Lu Lili and Shi Chao banter back and forth, she gradually smiled.
This New Year’s Eve was finally going to be lively.
It’s really nice.
After eating hot pot, it was still early, not even 8 o’clock yet.
Every year on New Year’s Eve, it was impossible to go to bed early because after midnight, there would be fireworks continuously bursting in the sky, and the loud noises would fill the air.
In that situation, even if you fell asleep, you would be awakened, so it was better to wait until the fireworks were over before sleeping.
Lu Lili suggested going to the square outside to set off fireworks together.
In the real world, every New Year’s Eve, she would go out with relatives or friends to buy handheld fireworks or firecrackers to play with.
Not only her, but many children liked to go out and play on this festive New Year’s Eve because on this day, children were rich!
“Why don’t you guys go, and I’ll stay home…” Shi Yan hesitated and didn’t finish her sentence before Lu Lili pushed her out the door.
“Yanyan, come with us, it’s a lot of fun.”
Shi Chao chimed in, “That’s right, Sister, we can’t have any private time together when we look like this anyway.”
After all, it felt weird when they look at their own face, so they couldn’t even kiss each other. So, they had decided to keep their interactions pure from now on.
Just then, Lu Lili noticed that the system had suddenly come online.
[Host, Happy New Year!]
Immediately after, a classic song played in her mind:
[Happy New Year~ Happy New Year~ Wishing everyone a Happy New Year~ We are singing~ We are dancing~ Wishing everyone a Happy New Year~1]
After the song finished playing, Lu Lili, Shi Yan, and Shi Chao had already reached downstairs together.
She patiently listened to the song and didn’t interrupt midway.
“Sister System, you didn’t just come online to wish me a Happy New Year, did you?”
This was the first time the system had given her holiday greetings, so it was quite unusual.
The system quickly responded : [Of course not, Host. The bug in this world has been fixed just now, and it should take effect soon.]
“So, does that mean I’ll be able to swap back with Shi Chao soon?” Lu Lili felt a bit reluctant.
Being a guy was really great, with no trouble at all.
Tall and with long legs, it felt like the air was fresher up there.
Now, having to go back to being a girl, Lu Lili felt a little regretful. Why couldn’t this bug be a bit harder to fix? *Sigh*~
