On the 30-story building, the atmosphere of the New Year gradually spread to every household. Liang Chi sat on the outer wall of the roof, his legs dangling in the air, but he seemed to be unaware of this dangerous move.

He held the fairy wand that Nuan Nuan gave him in his hand, looked at the lively fireworks, took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, turned it on his fingertips, and lit it with a click.

After a while, the fairy wand ignited beautiful sparks with a puff of white smoke. He stared at the fairy wand without blinking, and smiled slowly with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Unlike the fake smiles he wore like masks in the past, this time he really smiled.

In the darkness, the light in front of him was the brightest. Although it was small, it was more beautiful in his eyes than the fireworks that illuminated the entire sky.

When the fairy wand in his hand was about to burn out, Liang Chi lit another one.

One after another, they were all finally lit up, and the short light disappeared. Liang Chi stood up. If someone saw it during the day, they would definitely be scared by his dangerous actions.

“Happy New Year!”

He raised his hand and said lightly to the air, then jumped off the wall, turned around and looked at the young boy standing in the corner, the smile in his eyes fading.

“What are you doing here?”

The boy in the dark looked at Liang Chi with some fear, but still mustered up the courage to say.

“Liang… Brother Liang Chi, it’s time to eat.”

Liang Chi hummed, his face abnormally pale in the night, because of the physical damage caused by abuse in his early years, even now, he still had various problems from which he couldn’t recover, and he didn’t want to.

He walked down the stairs slowly, and the boy was scared and nervous, but followed him obediently.

His name was Zhang Liang, and the young man in front killed his father. He saw it with his own eyes, but he didn’t choose to call the police or take revenge. On the contrary, he was grateful to this person, so he walked out of that house and followed him.

Although Brother Liang Chi was cruel and indifferent to him, he didn’t drive him away, and even gave him a place to live, gave him food, and asked him to read books and study.

This period of time… was the most peaceful and best time for him. He didn’t have to worry about being pulled by the hair and beaten while sleeping, and he didn’t have to worry about not having enough to eat. He also avenged his mother. It was great.

Zhang Liang followed with a smile on his face.

To others, the man in front might be a demon, but to him, he was the god of salvation.

Gu family…

After the excitement of the evening, Nuan Nuan washed her face, brushed her teeth, and soaked her feet. She then ran back to her room in slippers holding the red envelopes she got today, and threw all the red envelopes on the bed. She also kicked off her slippers and climbed up.

She was looking forward to collecting all the red envelopes together, and her eyes were bent with laughter.

She was going to count the money!

Although her father and brother usually gave her a lot of pocket money, it was just a number for Nuan Nuan. How could she not be happier to count the notes one by one?

The little girl raised her toes and took out the stacks of banknotes from the red envelopes. There was a thick stack of red money in each red envelope!

After taking out all the money, there was a lot of it on the bed. Looking at the money, the little girl’s beautiful eyes sparkled with joy.

She remembered that every time the children in the village came back from visiting relatives and friends, they would compete with each other to see who got the most New Year’s money, and then the child with the most New Year’s money would be envied by other friends.

In the past, every New Year’s Day, Nuan Nuan envied other children, but now she didn’t need to envy them. The New Year’s money added up by those children over the years was not even as much as she had now. Hum~

The little girl hummed softly twice, her cheeks bulged, and then she began to count the small money.

“One, two, three…”

The soft and sticky little voice kept ringing. In order to avoid counting wrongly, the little girl would put ten neatly aside and start counting from the first one.

The little money-loving girl looked so cute.

When Gu Nan and the others came over, they saw Nuan Nuan who was counting money seriously. The brothers couldn’t help but laugh.

They knew that Nuan Nuan must be counting money at this time, so they came to see. Nuan Nuan was so cute when she was counting money seriously, not like Gu An at all.

That guy would just laugh foolishly and throw all the money into the sky, and stand in the rain of money with his hands on his hips and laughing wildly.

He was simply an idiot! The little girl Nuan Nuan, who was counting money, found the brothers standing at the door in various postures, but everyone’s mouth was undoubtedly smiling. The little girl with bright eyes and white teeth turned around and smiled softly at them.

That smile was really sweet to the heart!

“Brother…brother… Can Nuan Nuan’s money buy a farm?”

The little girl had been thinking about buying a farm, so she had been saving money. Now seeing so much money here, she asked happily while holding the red bills.

Gu Nan was a little surprised.

“Do you want to buy a farm?”

Nuan Nuan nodded obediently, “Yes, I want to buy a big farm, plant a lot of fruit trees, and raise a lot of small animals!”

Gu Nan looked at her money and nodded, “Yes.”

“Give all the money to big brother, big brother will help Nuan Nuan buy it.”

Nuan Nuan stuffed all the New Year’s money into Gu Nan’s arms, and then took out her well-protected bank card from her small schoolbag.

“Here’s some more.”

Gu Nan who wanted to give Nuan Nuan a farm, “…………”

“I can give you one.”

Nuan Nuan pouted her little mouth, “No, big brother will go bankrupt if I give you another one. Nuan Nuan has money, I want to buy it myself, and I can support big brother after buying a farm.”

Her little eyes stared at the money that had just been stuffed into big brother’s arms. In her memory, grandma didn’t save so much money in her life. This was already a lot. She didn’t know how much it would cost to buy a farm. This much should be enough, right?

If grandma hadn’t died, she would definitely be very happy to see so much money.

“Pfft… Brother, are you going bankrupt?”

Gu Mingyu couldn’t help laughing when he heard Nuan Nuan’s words. Except for Gu Mingli who knew the inside story, everyone else looked at him in shock as if it was the end of the world. Oh my god… the end of the world must be coming, they couldn’t believe that Gu Nan was going bankrupt, okay?

Gu Nan: A cross appeared faintly on his forehead.

His deep eyes stared at Nuan Nuan and corrected her seriously, “I won’t go bankrupt.”

Nuan Nuan blinked, “Oh.”

The babyish tone was a little perfunctory.

Gu Nan’s chilly eyes fell on Gu Mingli. It was all his fault.

Gu Mingli put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sky. The ceiling was quite white…

Little Nuan Nuan insisted on using her own money to buy a farm. Gu Nan thought about it and accepted it.

His sister was still young, and she really couldn’t use so much money. Using it to buy a farm was also an investment.

So what if he fulfilled his sister’s wish? He would just make up for it if the money was not enough.

After the brothers left, Nuan Nuan held her little schoolbag. She had suddenly turned from a rich girl into a pauper, but she didn’t regret it at all. She was going to have her own farm soon, and Nuan Nuan was so happy.

The little girl rolled around happily on the bed, and she didn’t stop until her hair was messy.

She was sleepy.

She yawned a little, and her eyes immediately became misty.

Putting the schoolbag aside, Nuan Nuan squinted her eyes, puffed up her little fleshy cheeks, and hummed and crawled into the quilt. A cute little bag soon bulged up on the bed.

The white and soft little face rubbed against the soft pillow, and the delicate little girl closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly. You couldn’t know if she had a sweet dream in her sleep, but the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a lovely smile.
