The closer it got to the end of the year, the busier people became. It was just that this high tide was very different from the usual ones.
Usually, it was all about work, school, and the pursuit of nothingness. However, at this point of time, everyone's pursuit had become much more practical.
The people who bought in the supermarket were people who wanted to enjoy all the snacks they had saved up during the new year celebration. Those who purchased in the market were people who wanted to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
Whether it was the students or the workers, they all relaxed under this kind of atmosphere. They all wanted to reward themselves after having worked hard for an entire year.
She did not have the habit of taking holidays in the hospital, but even so, Ning Xiaoxiao still felt a strong sense of age.
Red lanterns had already been hung up in front of the gate of the Second Courtyard. A colleague from the medical examination room was also in high spirits as they discussed the new year celebration.
Ning Xiaoxiao was greatly affected by the atmosphere.
Although the New Year was meaningless to her, the people around her were all happy, so her footsteps became a lot lighter.
It was another year in the Ning family's New Year's Eve. Ning Xiaoxiao could imagine it as New Year's Eve.
Therefore, Ning Xiaoxiao applied to work overtime on New Year's Eve when the department's director was on duty. This matter had benefited the entire department and had garnered Ning Xiaoxiao quite a bit of praise.
She accepted all these positive comments. Perhaps in everyone's heart, she was a very selfless person. Actually, it was only because she was at home that she was better off being in the department.
Being on duty in the hospital, she could quietly watch the Spring Festival Gala. If it was the Ning Family, with her personality, she would probably need to do a good job.
Ever since Gu CaiEr was sure that she was pregnant, Ning Weishan had become her puppet. At home, Gu Caier had always been the talk of the town, and no one dared to say anything about it.
Ning Weishan, who usually had a strong aura, did not dare to say a single word in front of Gu Caier. She covered her stomach when she heard the sound of her voice.
He had always been a thorn in Gu Caifeng's side. Now that she had gained momentum and could no longer bear to look at him, Ning Xiaoxiao had reduced the frequency of her appearance.
"You've worked hard!"
"Thank you so much!"
On New Year's Eve, everyone left work early, and many people were anxious to go home and reunite with their family.
When most of her colleagues had left, Ning Xiaoxiao stood up and looked at the empty space behind her. Although she was mentally prepared, she still felt somewhat lonely.
Ning Xiaoxiao leaned lazily against the back of the chair and emptied herself completely. All the memories in her mind had been cleared away.
Even with her brain cleared, accidents could happen. Ning Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair and slowly floated into the air, her thoughts flying out as well.
In her sleep, she felt as if she were in a field of green grass, surrounded by brilliant sunlight.
However, her vision was not clear. It was as though her eyes had not completely opened. Ning Xiaoxiao could even smell the grass beside her, but her vision was still hazy.
"Ah..."
Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly felt as though she had fallen into a deep hole. The sudden feeling of weightlessness caused her to wake up from her dreams.
In front of her was an enlarged, handsome face. It was as if she hadn't completely woken up from her sleep. For a moment, she just stood there in a daze.
Normally, when he saw Ning Xiaoxiao, his face would be radiant and he would be in high spirits. Seeing her in such a daze today, he felt that she was rather adorable.
Thus, he decided to play around with her.
While Ning Xiaoxiao was still drowsy, she made a face. Making a small face was his forte.
In just 10 seconds, Ning Xiaoxiao switched from the wonderful environment she had imagined to a handsome face. Finally, she switched to this never-ending ghost face.
It was fortunate that her heart was strong enough, otherwise she would have to enter the emergency room no matter who she put on.
The purpose of scaring Ning Xiaoxiao had been accomplished. Bi Yichen had recovered his face, and Ning Xiaoxiao had also recovered from her stunned state. Her eyes were clear and bright.
She was also very surprised to see Bi Eachen. She knew that the Bi family was a big family in the capital, although she did not know what was going on with their family.
However, logically, he should be reunited with his family on New Year's Eve. Why was he still here?
Before Ning Xiaoxiao could voice out her doubts, Bi Yichen had already asked them first.
"Eldest Miss still needs to be on duty for the new year?"
Since the other party was someone close to Shao Xuan, it was rare for Ning Xiaoxiao to relax. Thus, she smiled and nodded her head. She didn't say anything else and only nodded.
Bi Yichen nodded in response to Ning Xiaoxiao's actions. He understood what was going on.
Ning Xuemo was the young miss of the Ning family. Under normal circumstances, everyone would try their best to curry favor with her. How could they have arranged for her to be on duty on New Year's Eve?
"If I were to suffer today, why don't the two of us get together?"
Bi Yichen's eyes drooped when he said this. He sounded like he was acting coquettishly, very much like the hare Ning Xiaoxiao liked when she was little.
Ning Xiaoxiao pursed her lips to hide her smile as she lifted her hand to look at the watch on her wrist.
"Then we have three hours!"
"Enough!"
Bi Echen confidently opened his mouth and extended his hand out.
Ning Xiaoxiao also very elegantly placed her hand on Bi Yichen's. Rather than spending New Year's Eve in the hospital with Bi Yicheng, it seemed like a good choice for her to go out and play.
Both of them tacitly did not ask each other why they did not go home to celebrate the new year. It was probably a formality between adults.
Bi Yichen had booked a place at the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in An Hai. As he sat by the window, he could see the beautiful scenery of An Hai. It had been a long time since Ning Xiaoxiao had enjoyed life like this.
After regaining his memory, every day he felt like he was fighting on the battlefield, trying to figure out what this person was thinking and what he was thinking.
It was already extravagant to quietly empty his space, let alone sit in such a beautiful scenery and enjoy a delicacy without thinking about anything else.
"Don't you know what Eldest Miss thinks?"
Bi Yichen, who had withdrawn his gaze from the beautiful scenery, raised the wine cup beside his hand and turned his head towards Ning Xiaoxiao.
Ning Xiaoxiao also raised her glass and clinked it against his. Naturally, the gratitude in her heart was self-evident.
Bi Yichen put down the wine cup in his hand and turned to look at Ning Xiaoxiao. She was staring into the distance. Actually, the reason why he was staying in An Hai today was all because of the unfinished case.
By the time he was done with his work, the tickets to the capital had already been sold out, so he was forced to stay in An Hai.
As he drove past the Second Courtyard, he somehow recalled the first time he came to An Hai. It was at that time that he met Ning Xiaoxiao again in the Second Courtyard.
