My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

As the night deepened, the bedroom in the ancestral home's Jingxin Pavilion remained peaceful.

Wu You was not sleeping soundly.

For him, sleep is simply a way to rejuvenate, not an addiction.

When the hands of the antique clock on the wall quietly pointed to 7:30, he opened his eyes precisely on time.

Those dark eyes held no trace of drowsiness from just waking up, only a clarity and depth as deep as an ancient well.

He sat up, but did not get out of bed immediately.

Instead, they listened quietly to the faint sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation coming from outside the window, along with the rhythmic banging sounds of construction work.

He knew that Su Qinghuan and her group had already begun their operation.

This woman's execution ability was even stronger than he had imagined.

This made him very satisfied.

He threw back the covers and got out of bed.

He no longer wore that gorgeous and elaborate ancestral worship robes.

Instead, she took out a set of very ordinary-looking, thick black sportswear from the closet.

The fabric of the clothes is top-grade cashmere, which feels soft and comfortable to the touch.

But the style is so understated, it's the kind of outfit any ordinary family's child would wear.

He changed his clothes and put on a pair of warm black snow boots.

Then he picked up a comb and combed his soft, black hair neatly.

After doing all this, he slowly pushed open the bedroom door.

Outside the door, Wu Jingzhi was already waiting respectfully.

In his hands, he was also holding a black down cloak with a hood.

"Young Master, you're awake?" Wu Jingzhi's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile when he saw Wu You come out. "Jingzhi was just about to come in and call you."

"Hmm." Wu You nodded gently. "How are things going outside?"

"Replying to your question, young master, everything has been arranged perfectly," Wu Jingzhi quickly replied. "Miss Su's abilities are indeed outstanding. She has arranged everything regarding tonight's New Year's Eve live broadcast in a meticulous and watertight manner."

"The bonfire platform, lights, and sound system over there in the square have all been tested and adjusted."

"The online connection channel has also been set up. It is said that more than two million applications were received in just one hour."

"The review team has already selected the first batch of about one hundred candidates. Their stories are all very touching and representative."

When Wu Jingzhi gave his report, his tone was full of praise.

He knew that the young master's choice of a person was unlikely to be wrong.

This Su Qinghuan is indeed a promising talent.

"Very good." Wu You nodded after listening.

"Then... young master, shall we go directly to the square now?" Wu Jingzhi asked.

"Okay, let's go." Wu You nodded.

Wu Jingzhi immediately stepped forward and draped the black down cloak he was holding over Wu You's shoulders.

"Young master, it's windy outside and chilly at night, please wear more clothes." His voice was full of concern.

Wu You did not refuse.

He pulled up the hood of his cloak, and most of his delicate little face was hidden in the shadows.

Only her perfectly shaped chin was visible.

"Oh, right, young master." Wu Jingzhi followed behind Wu You, and as he walked, a mysterious smile appeared on his face as if he had just remembered something.

"For tonight's New Year's Eve gala, Ms. Su made a suggestion, which Jingzhi thought was good, so we joined forces to prepare a very special opening ceremony for you and the viewers in the live stream."

"Oh?" Wu You paused, seemingly intrigued. "What opening ceremony?"

"Well... I'll keep you in suspense for now." Wu Jingzhi smiled and shook his head. "Please forgive Jingzhi and the others for being so bold."

Upon hearing this, Wu You raised an eyebrow.

Seeing Wu Jingzhi's deliberately mysterious demeanor, he didn't press the matter further.

However, a subtle, playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

surprise?

He was curious to see what kind of surprise they would bring.

"Jingzhi, you, you..."

"Hehe, young master..."

Two figures, one old and one young, walked slowly through the quiet bamboo path in the night toward the brightly lit and bustling ancestral hall square.

None of them noticed.

Not far behind them, two figures were quietly "following" them.

Indeed, it was Wu Jingxing and Lin Wei who had just finished their late-night snack.

They happened to run into the young master and others.

Lin Wei looked at the small figure in a black cloak being carefully protected by Wu Jingzhi, and her heart was filled with endless curiosity.

Is that the legendary "Young Master"?

He looks so small.

He's like an ordinary little brother next door.

But for some reason, Lin Wei could sense a tremendous aura emanating from his small figure, a aura that made it difficult for her to even breathe.

"Jingxing..." She instinctively gripped Wu Jingxing's arm, her voice tinged with nervousness, "Should we...should we go over there now and say hello to him?"

"No rush." ​​Wu Jingxing shook his head, his gaze fixed on the small figure, his eyes filled with awe.

"Now is not the time."

"We'll go first, then follow behind."

"Just watch quietly."
