Jiang Ye couldn't believe it, He Zhou had brought her to a suburban amusement park.

Normally, amusement parks close around ten o'clock at night.

But when He Zhou brought her here, the amusement park was still brightly lit.

Jiang Ye got out of the car, looked around, and finally asked He Zhou, "When did you develop the ability to spend money like that?"

"..."

"I talked to the manager for a bit, and got them to give us a two-hour private booking."

"Don't be afraid, they all signed confidentiality agreements, they won't tell anyone."

He Zhou paused before saying, "You said you wanted to come here on Christmas."

Jiang Ye was stunned.

That was what she said when she and He Zhou first rode the Ferris wheel.

--"It would have been nice if it was Christmas."

She had just said it casually, she didn't even think about it.

She didn't expect that the speaker had no intention but the listener had a heart, and He Zhou actually remembered.

"..."

Jiang Ye rubbed her red nose, "You remember that?"

"Unfortunately, I can't take you out of the country again, this is the best I could do."

He Zhou rubbed her head, "Alright."

"What do you want to play first?"

The amusement park's colorful lights reflected in Jiang Ye's pupils.

Her eyes lit up, "Only children make choices! Adults want it all. Let's go!"

The snow was gradually stopping.

This amusement park wasn't very big, but the Christmas decorations were very nice.

Although there were no other tourists, the staff who had been paid overtime were still diligently providing them with service.

There were many people dressed as Santa Claus or reindeer walking around, handing Jiang Ye drinks, balloons, and cotton candy.

"This one, this one."

Jiang Ye pointed to a stuffed bear by the side of the road, "I wore this on our group variety show. Wow, it's really stuffy!"

She seemed even more excited than the last time she was at the amusement park, and she kept chattering to He Zhou.

"I remember."

He Zhou nodded, "I watched that episode, and I was worried you would get too hot."

Jiang Ye's eyes widened, "You watched it?"

"I've watched all your material."

He Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Thinking about it, I really am your most loyal fan."

"..."

Jiang Ye sighed, "I can't believe it, I've finally ended up dating a fan."

"Well, at least my confessions to my fans over the years haven't been in vain. In the future, when I get chased by fans, I can say, look, I really did love you all!"

He Zhou: "..."

The final stop was, of course, the Ferris wheel.

Because the amusement park wasn't very big, they could almost see the entire park from the top of the Ferris wheel.

The carriage they were in slowly moved upwards, and finally, with a click, it stopped at the highest point.

At that moment.

The sound of bells rang out over the amusement park.

Then Christmas carols began to play.

The colorful lights of the entire amusement park changed again, flashing with the rhythm of the Christmas carols, and from the top of the Ferris wheel, it looked like a dazzling sea of lights.

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up.

He Zhou not only listened to every word she said, but he always gave her more surprises than she expected.

As soon as Jiang Ye turned her head to rub against her boyfriend to express her gratitude, she saw He Zhou handing her something.

She glanced at the cover.

It was his resignation letter.

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned, she didn't take it, she just looked at He Zhou in surprise.

"There's nothing I can do."

He Zhou said, "But I said I would always be by your side."

Jiang Ye paused for a moment, then blinked and said, "... Don't tell me, this is the real Christmas present you wanted to give me?"

"No."

He Zhou smiled and said, "This is my promise to you."

Wherever you go, I'll go.

And I believe in you, you'll create a miracle of an era with me.

There were many things to do to establish a personal studio, and they had to take it slow.

And everyone thought that Jiang Ye left Shengrui Entertainment to pursue a greater career, and that she would definitely work hard to get resources for herself when she started, and she wouldn't let herself live worse than she did at Shengrui Entertainment.

But unexpectedly, she unexpectedly turned down most of her activities during the Chinese New Year.

When asked by the media, Jiang Ye blinked and only said, "I want to go home."

Jiang Ye wasn't lying.

On New Year's Eve, she went back to the orphanage with He Zhou.

They had left from there, and for them, that was their home.

Actually, Jiang Ye would come back occasionally.

But because she was afraid of sasaengs or the media following her, she didn't come back very often, she would just regularly send money.

But He Zhou clearly came back often.

As soon as they pushed open the door, several children saw him and happily said, "Brother He Zhou!!"

But when they glanced at the person next to him, they all just looked at her curiously.

Jiang Ye had been incredibly popular these past few years.

When she came back occasionally, she would just visit Grandma, and then she would leave after not too long.

So, everyone felt like they were seeing the big star on the screen suddenly come to reality.

Jiang Ye wasn't upset, she reached out and affectionately pinched a little girl's cheek, "You don't remember me? I brought you a doll last time."

"Sister Jiang Ye."

"Hey, good girl."

Jiang Ye quietly took out a stack of red envelopes from her pocket, "Good children get lucky money."

She naturally had a kind of natural charisma, and she quickly became friends with the children, and after half an hour, someone was already tugging at her hair, asking for her autograph.

The little girl whispered to her, "Your autograph can sell for a lot of money now, but don't worry, Grandma won't let us sell it, we just keep it for ourselves."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh and rub her head.

After calming down the children, Jiang Ye and He Zhou went to see Grandma Jiang.

Grandma Jiang was also old.

At her age, she shouldn't be taking care of the orphanage anymore.

But she still couldn't let go of the children in the orphanage, she would come every day, and even today, on New Year's Eve, she was preparing to cook herself.

"Alright."

Jiang Ye pushed Grandma out of the kitchen, "Let us younger ones take care of this."

"No, no."

Grandma Jiang thought about Jiang Ye's current status, "How can you do this?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Ye said confidently, "I grew up here."

"I remember, I remember, it's New Year's Eve, we have to make dumplings. Don't worry, we'll take care of it."

After sending Grandma Jiang away, Jiang Ye pulled up her sleeve, "What's the saying? Maybe this is what it means to return home as a couple?"

He Zhou's hand shook, almost dropping the whole head of cabbage in his hand.

Actually, Jiang Ye's cooking skills were average, she would not starve anyone, but she was not exactly good either.

But He Zhou was different, he seemed to have learned specifically, his knife skills and cooking skills were both top-notch.

Jiang Ye basically had no work to do after wrapping the dumplings.

She secretly took half a carrot from the bowl, nibbled on it while watching He Zhou cook, and she found it very pleasing to the eye.

He Zhou looked at her, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Ye stared intently, "You're handsome."

He Zhou: "..."

He Zhou's ears couldn't help but turn red.

Jiang Ye said with a laugh, "I've discovered that you're quite the good husband and father type, you can cook, and you're good with kids."

She blinked, "So, when we get married, are you going to take care of most of the housework?"

After Jiang Ye finished speaking, she paused for a moment before realizing that she had already started to fantasize about these everyday life scenes.

In the past, because she had grown up in an orphanage, she had a very weak desire to start a family, she even thought that it wouldn't be bad to live alone for the rest of her life.

But now, almost every scene she imagined had He Zhou in it.

He Zhou didn't look up, and he naturally agreed, "Okay, I'll do it."

Jiang Ye propped her chin up, her eyes curved.

These things, which had been so far away from her, didn't seem so far away anymore.

•••

After dinner.

Jiang Ye and He Zhou accompanied the children to watch the New Year's Eve Gala.

Jiang Ye watched and sighed, "I still remember the first time I was on the New Year's Eve Gala, the few of us were so nervous backstage."

Later, their group was almost on it every year, it became a routine.

Later, although the group didn't perform together often, Jiang Ye was still often invited to participate as an individual.

Opportunities that others were eager to get, were no longer that important to her now.

The children got sleepy early.

They had said they wanted to stay up for New Year's Eve, but most of them fell asleep before the countdown even started.

He Zhou sent each child back to their room, and when he came back, the TV was already playing the final song, 《Unforgettable Tonight》.

Only Jiang Ye was left in front of the TV.

He Zhou asked softly, "Going back?"

"I'm not sleepy."

Jiang Ye said, "I'll stay a little longer."

He Zhou: "Okay."

He sat down next to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye propped her chin up, sighed, and said, "I'm only realizing now that having a lot of kids is actually quite troublesome."

He Zhou was confused for a moment, "Hmm?"

Jiang Ye blinked again, "But it seems like you really like it."

He was such a cold person when he was outside.

But he seemed to have endless patience when he was with children.

"So."

"I'm kind of looking forward to what kind of father you'll be in the future."

He Zhou was stunned for several seconds before he realized what Jiang Ye meant.

He was startled and coughed several times before saying, "... Are you already thinking about things so far in the future?"

"Alright, let's talk about something closer."

Jiang Ye said, "Reach out your hand."

"What?"

"New Year's gift."

Jiang Ye gently placed a small object in He Zhou's palm.

He Zhou opened his hand and saw that it was a coin.

He Zhou: "?"

Jiang Ye said, "I found it when I was eating dumplings."

The moment she bit into the coin, she suddenly remembered.

The person who had given her the coin that year was He Zhou.

The children in the orphanage didn't have any personal belongings.

That was the biggest blessing He Zhou had carefully given her.

Jiang Ye said with a smile, "Finally got a chance to give it back to you."

He Zhou still remembered.

He held the coin, chuckled softly, "That's quite a long time ago."

"Actually, I don't know if this coin really brings good luck."

"But do you want to make a wish?"

Jiang Ye looked at him and said softly, "Anything within my ability, I'll make it happen."

She didn't have anything to give.

She returned the coin, which represented the special relationship between her and He Zhou, and gave him a chance to make a wish.

This was her answer to him chasing after her for ten years.

Jiang Ye thought, no matter what wish he made now, she would be willing to help him achieve it.

If he wanted to get married, she would take her hukou (household registration) book and go get a marriage license with him after her vacation.

If he wanted to go public, she could announce the explosive news on Weibo right now.

All he had to do was say the word.

He Zhou twirled the coin in his hand.

Finally, he clasped his hands together, and said devoutly, "Then I hope that Jiang Ye can be happy and safe in the future, without any accidents, and without suffering any hardship."

"That's my biggest wish."
