Chapter 92: Their First Year

Approaching midnight, in the quiet office, the man dialed Jiang An’s number on his cellphone and walked to the balcony overlooking the still neon-lit cityscape at night, his eyes dark and profound.

In the center of Jing City, there is a fireworks display every year. Clusters of fireworks ascending in the distance entered the man’s clear eyes, merging colors as the phone emitted a "beep beep beep" busy signal.

He had never been in love before, always living a solitary life. Suddenly needing to consider another person’s feelings, he was far from doing enough.

Listening to the unconnected electric buzz on the phone, a hint of anxiety flashed in the man’s eyes, and just as he was worried, the phone was suddenly picked up by the other side, and a noisy sound came through.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he parted his thin lips wanting to explain to Jiang An why he missed their appointment: "Jiang An, I..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the girl’s amplified voice on the other end of the line, sounding in a good mood, "Dr. Gao, don’t talk about that yet, listen."

Gao Chuan blinked in surprise, bringing the phone closer to his ear to listen carefully.

From the microphone came the sound of fireworks exploding and crowds clamoring as if many people were gathered together counting down, their noisy voices merging, "Five, four, three—"

At this moment, Jiang An stood among the crowd, holding her phone high, trying to let the man hear the countdown from her side, her voice also mingling in, "Two, one!"

A building on the square displayed the bright words "Happy New Year," and Jiang An pressed the phone back to her ear.

Gao Chuan silently counted along, the girl’s bell-like voice coming through the phone, trailing gently past his ear still echoing, and the man smiled slightly, his gaze looking towards the colorful fireworks in the distant sky.

Jiang An said to him, Happy New Year, Dr. Gao.

"Happy New Year." The man responded, hearing the festive noises and Jiang An’s breathing mixing in the phone, he kept the phone unmoved, his eyebrows gradually smoothing out.

Their first year, had arrived.

Jiang An, hearing Gao Chuan’s magnetic voice over the phone, grinned amidst the crowd, her gloomy mood alleviated by his "Happy New Year."

It turns out that liking someone can truly encompass everything about them.

After a long while, the man asked on the phone, "Where are you now?"

Jiang An looked around the crowded people, many couples kissing during the last second of the countdown, fireworks left light traces in the sky.

Jiang An shouted the name of the square she was in, her voice reaching the man, carrying a hint of joy.

"Wait there for me." Gao Chuan barely spoke a few lines before the call dropped, removing the phone from his ear only to discover that the battery had completely drained.

He furrowed his brow, pulled out a spare power bank from the drawer, changed into casual clothes, and hurried downstairs.

Jiang An thought Gao Chuan had hung up the phone because something urgent had come up again, and pocketed her phone as she tried to squeeze through the crowd. Although it was past midnight, the entire city was still immersed in noise. Light clouds slowly drifted across the Milky Way, with a few cold stars emitting a faint glow.

Jiang An made her way through the layers of people, found a bench, and sat down. Her gaze swept over the cheering figures; in front of her flashed a family of three. A little girl in a thick down jacket was riding on her father’s neck, a sparkling hair clip on her head, and her mother was smiling, trailing behind the two.

The heartwarming and harmonious scene infiltrated Jiang An’s sour eyesockets, and it seemed for a moment that an invisible hand gently brushed over her heart apex. The girl’s eyes curved up with a gentle smile rippling on her lips.

Although the date was completely washed out, seeing the scene in front of her with her brows slightly upturned, she thought that tonight was not too bad after all.

Many people still stopped in the square to look up and admire the fireworks. Jiang An didn’t know how long she had been sitting on the bench when suddenly a little boy selling flowers ran over. Seeing her sitting alone on the bench, he curiously approached and sweetly asked, "Miss, would you like to buy a bouquet of flowers?"

Jiang An looked at the bunch of roses in the boy’s hand, her eyes overflowing with emotions, and was about to ask for the price when she felt a shadow looming in front of them. Starting, she raised her head and saw a man in a black coat entering her sight.

Gao Chuan stood behind the boy and the girl, capturing the girl’s bewildered expression. From his pocket, he took out his wallet, pulled out a bill, handed it to the boy sandwiched between them, and bent down to say warmly, "I’ll take them all."

Jiang An was still stunned in place until the boy took the money and, following Gao Chuan’s instructions, stuffed the roses into her arms. Only then did she slowly recover. After the excited boy ran off, Gao Chuan stepped closer to her, noticing that the girl had worn a skirt today, her little face somewhat purple from being outside for a long time.

Gao Chuan watched her dazed look, took off his own coat, and draped it over her. A refreshing masculine scent instantly infiltrated her nostrils. Jiang An stared with sparkling almond-shaped eyes, feeling the scene before her slightly unreal.

"Why are you wearing so little?" Gao Chuan’s voice came from above, mixed with warm breath directly spilling down.

Jiang An’s body tensed, foolishly standing still and motionless. She listened as Gao Chuan began to explain why he was late today—the cause being a routine tumor removal surgery. Although Jiang An had already guessed that Gao Chuan’s inability to arrive was probably due to work, hearing him personally explain dispelled the layer of gloom in her heart instantly.

People came and went behind them, stopping, admiring the fireworks, taking pictures with relatives; it wasn’t very noisy, yet the man’s voice clearly fell into her ears word by word.

"I’m sorry, it was my lack of consideration. It won’t happen again," Gao Chuan’s deep voice fell on Jiang An’s cool ears. She suddenly looked up and met his passionate gaze.

Such a tender apology made it impossible for her to refuse. The girl nodded slightly.

A simple sentence could offset all the grievances she had suffered today.

Gao Chuan took another step closer to Jiang An, looking down at the girl’s tranquil face, feeling a slight stir in his heart, his warm breath all sprayed on the tip of her nose.

"Mrs. Gao, may I kiss you?"

The man’s striking brows were like ink paintings, his sexy voice spilling from his thin lips.

Jiang An suddenly lifted her head at the sound, just about to respond when the man had already leaned down and gently kissed her soft lips. The unexpected action caught her off guard, a slight surprise flickering in her eyes before she slowly closed them.

Gao Chuan reached out to embrace the flower-holding girl, a glimmer shone in his profound eyes, their lips touching as if they were soft, fluffy candy.

In the noisy night, the world seemed to quiet down at this moment, their eyes seeing only each other.
