Xu Yang never thought she would meet Zhou Fusheng, yet fate works in mysterious ways.
Scene One
Chen Zhi said, “My New Year’s wish is for my bestie to find a boyfriend soon.”
Xu Yang replied, “You didn’t wish for her to get a normal boyfriend?”
“Uh, would you believe me if I said I forgot?”
Xu Yang sent an emoji with a face covered in black lines. “You’ve never been reliable.”
Chen Zhi laughed. “You’re so unlucky, even your New Year’s wishes can’t protect you.”
Xu Yang laughed along. “I think your New Year’s wish will come true this year. I have a feeling.”
Scene Two
“Li Yang, we’re going to Nanjing.” Zhou Fusheng swept away his exhaustion, his voice brimming with impatience.
“Now?” Li Yang really couldn’t understand why his boss was always so impulsive.
“Yes, now. Right this minute.”
“I’m absolutely certain about this moment. I want to hear you say ‘Happy birthday’ to me in person.”
Scene Three
Zhou Fusheng noticed his young assistant glancing at him again and again. “What? Why are you staring at me?”
Li Yang sidled up to Zhou Fusheng, sounding rather tentative. “Brother Zhou, the fans say you’ve got someone. They all want to meet your future wife soon.”
Zhou Fusheng shot him a sideways glance and gave a derisive chuckle. “Keep dreaming.”
Scene Four
What exactly is time? A few years ago, she could only watch him from afar on a screen, envying the people who got to see him or even brush past him. This year, she could pick up her phone and send him a message.
Xu Yang hesitated for a long time before finally opening his chat with him. “Your performance was as wonderful as ever.” After sending it, she added, “Happy New Year. May your career reach even greater heights.”
A little over ten minutes later, Xu Yang got a reply: “Happy New Year. More than career success, I want a happy family.”
