Chapter 296: Chapter 291 New Year

He ultimately didn’t die, waking up after three days in a coma.

Quan Jingyou was nearly scared to death. A perfectly fine person was flung right before his eyes, and it likely left a shadow in his heart.

"Yu, you’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Gong Yu opened his eyes to see a white ceiling, the scent of disinfectant in his nostrils, an IV still in his hand, with Quan Jingyou’s voice by his ear.

His family wasn’t there, making the two of them seem particularly alone in the empty hospital room.

Gong Yu struggled to sit up, his gaze faintly falling on him, Quan Jingyou said in horror, "Yu, don’t tell me you’ve got amnesia from the accident? Doctor, doctor, there’s something wrong with him."

It was only then that Gong Yu slowly said, "Jingyou, I’m fine."

Relief washed over him, "You scared me to death, but it’s good that you’re okay."

"You and your drinking, we should have just sent you home. You had to run off... It’s a good thing you’re alright. They’ve all come to see you several times these last few days."

Gong Yu’s previously dim eyes brightened slightly, "Did Ji Tian come?"

Quan Jingyou nodded, "Of course, she came with Qin Jiangsheng and even brought you a fruit basket."

The light that had just risen in his eyes was extinguished.

His intuition hadn’t been wrong—Ji Tian was no longer the Ji Tian he knew. She had changed the direction of this world.

Quan Jingyou was puzzled as to why he first asked about Sister Tian, so he asked, "Do you want me to call them over?"

Gong Yu shook his head, "No need, I’ll be discharged from the hospital soon."

"Huh? You should stay in the hospital for a few more days to recover."

No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Gong Yu was discharged that afternoon.

Time passed quickly and it was January 27th, with only three days left until New Year’s.

On this day, he received an invitation from Qin Jiangsheng.

Normally, the two of them weren’t close, but Qin Jiangsheng gave him the time and place, an invitation that was also a test.

It seems everyone remembered.

But why, why so late, late until he no longer had a chance?

He really wanted to refuse, but the conditions offered were too enticing for him to turn down.

Gong Yu couldn’t help but laugh. In both his past and present life, he was always good at striking deals, able to see exactly what everyone wanted in their hearts.

So, he kept the appointment.

...

As the Lunar New Year approached, the streets became livelier.

This great imperial city was also imbued with the spirit of the festival.

The Ji Family’s home inside and out was adorned with red lanterns, Qiao Luhua directing the servants for a thorough cleaning of the villa.

She and Ji Yanshang were also looking forward to spending the holiday with their children for a change.

Ji Weinan went out to find Quan Jingyou, and the two headed to an internet café.

Ji Qilin’s research institute had closed for the holiday early, and he stayed home during this time, not socializing at all, to Qiao Luhua’s disgust. She gently persuaded him that without socializing, he would never find a girlfriend.

At this, Ji Qilin would smile and answer, "Then you should organize a matchmaking banquet for me. Let me describe my requirements: she must be tall and beautiful with long legs, definitely fair-skinned, with big eyes and double eyelids, ideally holding two Ph.D. degrees, be the sole heir of her family, with a family fortune of no less than ten billion, and must also know how to manage a company, be suited for both halls and kitchens. Oh, and one more thing..."

"Get out," Qiao Luhua pointed at the door, face wooden, "and don’t come back. Don’t you ever wonder if you’re even worthy, yet you still demand so much?"

Ji Qilin stood up and sighed, "Alright, then I’ll go out and cool off."

And with that, he left.

In fact, there were quite a few people who pursued him, but he wasn’t interested, so he had declined them all.

At that moment, Lin Shisheng sent her a location, along with a photo of himself holding a milk tea: "Come quick, I’m treating you to a hot milk tea."

"I don’t want any."

"I’m not going to eat you; I just have some academic questions I’d like to ask you. Plus, I’m all alone, so lonely."

Knowing she was alone, Ji Qilin started typing: "Then wait for me."

On the day before New Year’s Eve, Ji Tian dragged Jian Chuyi through the mall to shop for the New Year’s goods.

She was buying gifts for the family. Her company had started bringing in revenue, and Zhu Xiaoda was truly a business prodigy. He had made her ten million in just a few months, so she gave him a sizeable year-end bonus.

Now that she had money, she was ready to splurge.

She bought Qiao Luhua a custom handbag, Ji Yanshang a tie, Ji Lingyun a watch, Ji Qilin a fountain pen, and Ji Weinan a gaming console.

She thought it over and also got a pair of shoes for Qin Jiangsheng, bringing gifts for Quan Jingyou and the others as well.

Then she bought a princess dress for Jian Chuyi, hoping she would always be the smiling little princess.

Jian Chuyi, touched to tears, hugged Ji Tian and planted several kisses on her face before letting go.

And in return, Jian Chuyi gave Ji Tian a custom necklace shaped like a cluster of stars, her face beaming with pride: "I know you like this flower; I know everything about you."

"Oh, and help me give this to your cousin," she said blushing, mysteriously handing Ji Tian a heavy box.

When Ji Tian got home, she tossed the box to Tang Yu, who was watching cartoons on the couch: "Here, Chuyi sent this for you."

At first, his eyes held some expectation, but after opening it and seeing a massive three-pound gold lock, he despaired, "Who the hell said I liked locks? Everything she gives me are locks. Is she hinting I’m going to end up in jail?"

Ji Tian touched her nose guiltily; it seemed that it was her who had said that... but it didn’t matter now.

She cleared her throat, "Just take it and like it. It’s shiny gold. Don’t give it back to me."

As she made a grab for it, Tang Yu dodged and glared at Ji Tian: "This is from Chuyi, if you want it, ask her yourself."

Then he stood up, muttering to himself: "I should think of something to give her."

Ji Tian sent the butler to deliver the gifts she had purchased.

On New Year’s Eve, Ji Tian excitedly decorated the house with Spring Festival couplets. Once she was finished, her older brother’s car arrived.

He brought Wen Jiangxue back to the villa for the reunion dinner.

The atmosphere between the two was different from before; if anything, Wen Jiangxue was blushing shyly, and Ji Lingyun would thoughtfully adjust her scarf. Holding her hand in the winter chill, he had become much gentler—a man in love could be quite terrifying, almost as if under a spell.

It seemed that their misunderstandings had been resolved, and Ji Tian was quietly satisfied, her contributions unrecognized.

As Ji Lingyun passed by Ji Tian, he gave her shoulder a pat: "I’ll transfer your New Year’s money to you."

In the afternoon, the household staff were dismissed by Qiao Luhua to go home for the New Year, each carrying a big red envelope. Aunt Wang wasn’t asked to cook since she rarely got a day off throughout the year. Qiao Luhua told her to come back the next day, leaving the cooking to Ji Yanshang with Ji Tian’s help.

With several kids pitching in, there was no panic.

Ji Qilin arrived at this moment, unexpectedly bringing Lin Shisheng with her.

Standing next to Ji Qilin, she greeted everyone in the house with a smile: "Hello, uncles and aunts, hello everyone, my name is Lin Shisheng, and I am Ji Qilin’s friend."
