Under the warm winter sun, the person stood there smiling, becoming the only landscape in the vast white world.
Sheng Ning’an was startled for a moment, then quickly ran towards the other person.
"How could you be here?" she blinked hard, looking incredulously at the person in front of her.
Xu Weiran smiled and said, "I came to wish Grandpa, Grandma, Granny, Gramps, uncle, and aunt a happy New Year."
Sheng Ning’an: "You came all this way early in the morning, after driving for hours, just to wish them a happy New Year?"
"Alright then!" Sheng Ning’an suddenly didn’t know what to say.
No wonder her Granny liked him, he really knew his manners!
"Your timing is perfect, my granny and gramps haven’t met you yet, let me take you to them," Sheng Ning’an said as she reached for his hand but couldn’t move it.
She looked up, puzzled.
Xu Weiran said, "Don’t rush, I haven’t finished speaking."
What else did he have to say?
The next second, she felt Xu Weiran grasp her hand, gently pulling her, and Sheng Ning’an found herself pulled into his embrace.
Xu Weiran held her waist with both hands and said, "Wishing them a New Year is secondary, the most important reason is that I missed you, wanted to see you, and couldn’t wait for you to come back, so I came."
Sheng Ning’an couldn’t express what she felt at that moment.
All she felt was her chest being filled with a strange and surging emotion. She raised her hand and hugged him back, saying, "Xu Weiran, I am so happy to see you. Your arrival is the best gift I’ve received this New Year."
"But how did you know where we live?" She only remembered telling him she would go back to her hometown, she hadn’t mentioned where it actually was.
Not to mention this guy finding her house directly.
Someone must have tipped him off.
Sheng Ning’an thought about everyone’s reaction that morning, it seemed normal, and she couldn’t tell if anything was amiss.
"So, who actually gave you this address?"
Xu Weiran: "It was your Young Uncle."
"How could it be?" Sheng Ning’an would sooner believe her Granny had given it than believe her Young Uncle would tell him the address.
Her Young Uncle always disapproved of this guy as her boyfriend.
Not thwarting him was already good, how could he possibly help him?
Xu Weiran patted his girlfriend’s head, smiled, and said, "Perhaps he was moved by my sincerity!"
Alright, someone traveling thousands of miles to her old home on the first day of the New Year truly showed a lot of sincerity.
"An’an, the dumplings are ready, come back and eat," came her Granny’s voice from the neighboring yard.
"Coming!" Sheng Ning’an responded, deciding to first introduce him to her parents and grandparents.
He had made the long journey; she must ensure he made a good impression.
As for meeting the granny and gramps, it could wait a bit longer, it wasn’t urgent.
"Granny, look who’s here?" Sheng Ning’an pulled Xu Weiran inside.
Apart from Sheng Yeli, everyone else was surprised to see Xu Weiran follow Sheng Ning’an through the door.
This lad had pursued her all the way to her hometown.
It was Qin Suxin who reacted first, warmly calling out, "Ran is here, come in, sit down!"
"Happy New Year to grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, I’ve come to wish you all a happy New Year!" Xu Weiran happily greeted everyone, showing no signs of embarrassment or discomfort on New Year’s Day.
It was as if he had been here countless times.
