Outside the ornate iron gate, Gu Qichen stood in a suit, surrounded by various-sized bags, holding two large plastic bags in his hands.
At a glance, it looked like... fireworks?
Standing on the steps, Star didn't move forward, "What are you doing here?"
"To keep you company on New Year's Eve!"
The gloom from when they parted last night and this afternoon was gone, Gu Qichen's eyes were gentle, "Changqing, open the door!"
She wanted to ask "Aren't you going home?", but swallowed her words.
Anyway, it's just this once!
In the future, who knows if I'll still be in the Imperial City for New Year's Eve, or who will be by my side.
Star stepped forward and opened the door.
Gu Qichen, in a dark suit, wasn't even wearing a coat.
The usual sternness and severity were gone, replaced by an air of charming grace.
Watching him quietly as he brought in the pile of boxes and bags from the door, Star locked the door and followed him inside.
This was Gu Qichen's first time at Star's home.
