Redemption from the Abyss: The School Beauty Insists on Pulling Me Out of the Mire

The night of New Year's Eve completely enveloped the entire city of Jiangcheng.

The dining room of the Su family villa was filled with an extremely lavish New Year's Eve dinner.

The braised fish is shaped like a dragon leaping over a gate, symbolizing abundance year after year.

The stewed chicken soup is golden and clear, and the crab vinegar dipping sauce for the blanched river shrimp is fragrant and delicious.

Lin Wanyi raised the glass of red wine in front of her.

Come on, everyone, let's have a toast! Wishing us all a smooth and peaceful new year.

Xie Wang picked up the glass of freshly squeezed orange juice beside him and lightly clinked it against Su Chengyun's and the others' glasses.

Wishing you good health, Uncle and Aunt.

The four of them sat together and enjoyed the meal.

After having their New Year's Eve dinner, the four of them moved to the living room.

The giant LCD TV is playing the annual Spring Festival Gala.

The host, dressed in a festive red suit, delivered New Year's greetings in a powerful voice.

Su Chengyun was looking through the New Year's greetings messages on his phone.

Lin Wanyi was replying to the well wishes sent by various senior executives of the company.

A crosstalk program on TV was energetically delivering punchlines, and the extras below were laughing somewhat deliberately.

Su Qinghe leaned back against the sofa cushions, watched the program, and shook his head.

"The Spring Festival Gala is so bad these days."

"These memes were all overused on the internet last year, and they look really awkward and forced now."

Xie Wang sat down next to her.

"After all, we need to cater to audiences of all ages, so safety and conservatism are the most important requirements."

Xie Wang's analysis.

Su Qinghe turned to look at him.

"Actually, whether the show is good or not is not important. This is the time I look forward to the most every year."

Su Qinghe lowered his voice and continued the conversation.

"I feel especially happy to be able to sit quietly on the sofa with my parents and loved ones."

Xie Wang looked at the tender light in the girl's eyes.

This was the first time he had heard such a straightforward and pure expression of passion from Su Qinghe.

This made him feel a surge of excitement for a moment.

Xie Wang reached out and gently grasped Su Qinghe's cool fingers from behind a hidden panel at the edge of the sofa.

The hands of the wall clock moved slowly forward; there were less than twenty minutes left until midnight.

Xie Wang glanced at the time.

"Uncle and Auntie, want to go for a walk? There's a surprise for you!"

Su Chengyun put down his phone.

"Oh, there's an unexpected bonus. Let's go, honey."

The group walked out of the villa's gate.

A cold wind blew in my face.

Xie Wang walked up to the black SUV and opened the trunk.

Su Qinghe stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the huge cardboard box that was almost filling the entire trunk.

"Is this what you went out to get this afternoon? What is this?"

Xie Wang smiled mysteriously.

You'll find out soon enough.

He easily lifted the heavy cardboard box out of it.

He carried the box in front, and the three of them followed him out of the back gate of the villa area.

After walking along a quiet tree-lined path, a large expanse of barren flat land, yet to be developed, came into view.

The snow-covered plains were vast and quiet on a winter night.

Xie Wang placed the box on the flat snow and tore open the outer packaging paper.

"fireworks."

Su Qinghe looked at the thick fuses on it, his tone revealing surprise.

Xie Wang pulled a windproof lighter out of his pocket.

Click.

The pale blue flames danced in the cold wind.

"Teacher Su, uncles and aunts, please stand a little further back."

Xie Wang shielded Su Qinghe behind him, creating a safe distance between them.

I took out my phone and saw that it was almost New Year's Eve.

three!

two!

One!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Xie Wang lit the long fuse.

The sparks burned rapidly along the fuse, making a sizzling sound.

Xie Wang strode back to Su Qinghe's side.

A dull, loud thud erupted from the cardboard box.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling ball of light shot straight into the sky.

Bang.

High in the sky, the ball of light exploded completely, turning into a dazzling meteor shower.

Then came the second and third shots.

Those dazzling lights illuminated the entire night sky as if it were daytime.

Golden, willow-shaped fireworks swayed and fell through the air.

The red, peony-shaped fireworks burst into full bloom at the highest point.

Purple baby's breath, shimmering with tiny sparkles, drifted down slowly.

Su Qinghe looked up at the spectacular light and shadow show that was unfolding overhead.

The glow of colorful fireworks reflected in her clear eyes, shimmering with joy.

Xie Wang stood beside her, not looking at the fireworks in the sky.

His gaze traced the outline of the girl's profile in the fireworks light.

The most beautiful scenery in the world was already standing beside him.

The spectacular fireworks display was so grand and dazzling that the illuminated night sky could be faintly seen even in the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng.

Shen Hao was sitting in his living room, eating an apple.

He went out onto the balcony for some fresh air and looked up to see the dazzling bands of light shining in the distant suburbs.

Shen Hao quickly took out his phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and brought up the pinned chat window.

He was about to type out and share this beautiful scene.

Suddenly, a message appeared at the top of the screen indicating that the other person was typing.

Two seconds later, Xu You sent a message.

"Shen Hao, Happy New Year! I just saw some really beautiful fireworks."

Xu You also added a cute emoji featuring a snowman and a heart.

Shen Hao stared at the screen and grinned foolishly.

He quickly typed a few words in the input box and sent it.

"Happy New Year, little one! Let's watch even more fireworks together next year!"

The suburbs on the other side of the city.

Lu Wen, carrying equally expensive fireworks, secretly brought Lin Lu out.

"Wow! Lu Wen, those fireworks are huge!"

"Hmph, I'm going to take you to see the best fireworks, you know!"

Tiny, silvery-white sparks burst forth.

Just as the two were about to make a wish, a giant firework, hundreds or thousands of times brighter than theirs, suddenly rose into the sky.

The overwhelming light even made Lu Wen's side appear somewhat dim.

Lu Wen looked at the extremely arrogant fireworks display over there and felt a little embarrassed.

"Damn, which nouveau riche is setting off fireworks of this caliber here? They have absolutely no manners."

Lu Wen felt that this unknown person had stolen all the limelight from his attempt to be romantic in front of Lin Lu.

Lin Lu looked at the beautiful fireworks and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"It looks really good. This is called a two-pronged approach, which really adds to the New Year's atmosphere."

Lin Lu patted Lu Wen's arm in the cold wind.

"Thank you for the fireworks, I really liked them."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Wen's frustration vanished instantly.

He then wrapped the thick coat around Lin Lu's body.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll definitely buy the world's biggest fireworks for you to set off next year."

Lu Wen began to flirt with the girl by making empty promises.

Genting Piano Room 302.

Lu Yi was watching the Spring Festival Gala with her parents when she suddenly noticed that the sky had been lit up.

His father paced back and forth behind him, holding a ruler, to keep an eye on him.

The rice ball lay comfortably on top of a pile of rolls, letting out a series of meows.

Lu Yi walked to the window and watched the fireworks blend with the snow.

"The snow-capped mountains shine brightly in the southern sky."

Lu Yi's mother came in carrying a plate of steaming dumplings.

"Xiao Lu, still writing poetry here? Hurry up and eat some dumplings while they're hot to share in the good fortune."

A resettlement house in the old town.

Xie Zhengyang sat on the sofa.

He also saw fireworks rising in the distance outside the window.

Xie Zhengyang raised the paper cup in his hand towards the fireworks.

Happy New Year, Xiao Wang.

Warm tears welled up in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Inside the inpatient building of Jiangcheng People's Hospital.

The instrument emits a regular ticking sound.

Chen Yiyi hugged the giant strawberry bear plush toy tightly.

The beautiful fireworks quietly bloomed outside the window, but she could no longer see them.

On the snow-covered plains outside the city.

The fireworks continued to paint the night sky with vibrant colors.

Su Qinghe felt her cheeks were red from the cold wind, but her mood was higher than ever before.

She took out her phone from her pocket and snapped several photos of the night sky where a giant peony was blooming.

She then turned around, raised her phone, and adjusted the angle of the front-facing camera.

Su Qinghe leaned closer to Xie Wang, their shoulders touching tightly.

The screen froze this moment.

Xie Wang looked lazily at the camera, his eyes full of doting and focus.

Su Qinghe smiled brightly and calmly, with colorful fireworks that seemed to set the sky ablaze in the background.

The wind carried the smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of ice and snow.

She opened the WeChat Moments editing interface and uploaded the photo that only showed the two of them.

The accompanying text consisted of only eight clean and unwavering words.

Undeterred by the green mountains, we will stay together.
