Although firecrackers had been banned in cities for a number of years already, but as the countdown ended on the television, firecrackers could be heard outdoors, reminding people that the Lunar New Year had arrived. In a distance fireworks were being released, it was naturally not as majestic as the display in Yang An, the lights were red and green, it looked a little vulgar, for no reason, Xiao Zhan suddenly thought of Wang Yibo.

Luckily the performance on television ended early that night, the father and son also had nothing to say to each other, Xiao Yang Hai returned to his room, Xiao Zhan as well, he looked at his phone that was vibrating non-stop, affably sent out a group text wishing his friends a happy Lunar New Year, then sending private messages conveying his best wishes to Lin Xiao and gang, only then did he open Wang Yibo and his private chat, staring at it as though in a trance. It was as though Wang Yibo had telepathy, he sent a sort and simple greeting.

– Senior, happy Lunar New Year

Though simple, it was clear that it was a private message rather than a group text. Xiao Zhan sent an emoji of an old man wishing a "Happy New Year", followed by a "Give me a red packet", who knew Wang Yibo really sent a red packet over.

– Junior, you're a little too forthright aren't you?

Xiao Zhan opened the packet, 200 dollars, the red packet transfer limit of WeChat was exactly 200 dollars, when he was considering what would be a suitable amount to send to him, Wang Yibo then started sending transactions of 520 dollars. (T/N: 520 = I love you in Chinese textspeak.)

– What the fuck! Motherfucker! I'll give you a ride! No one could ignore the lure of money. Xiao Zhan's screen displayed a list of 520s, but Xiao Zhan was only affected for a moment, his logic told him that he could not accept this money.

– Ok ok stop sending, I know you're rich

– I have no money, I only have this amount left in my account

– Where are you now?

– Venice

– ????? Venice???

– Yeah

Wang Yibo sent a photo, because of the time difference, it was still evening in Venice, the blood red sunset reflecting upon the crystalline water, the entire river dyed red.

Wang Yibo then sent a video chat invite, Xiao Zhan accepted, Wang Yibo appeared, bright and fresh, while the little box in the right corner showed him being unkempt. Gondolas could be seen behind Wang Yibo, the weather over there was very cold too, Wang Yibo's fingers were red in the wind, despite using the front camera that exposed everyone's flaws, Wang Yibo was still handsome beyond words.

"Senior, happy New Year, I'll bring some souvenirs back for you."

"Why did you go to such a far country?"

"I'm doing a shoot here, so I decided to extend the trip for a holiday."

"Damn, what shoot?"

"Fashion magazine."

"So cool?!" Xiao Zhan was shocked, Wang Yibo actually was a model for a magazine! "Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

"No, this is just for fun." Wang Yibo said as though it was nothing. "Senior, it's the Bridge of Sighs in front."

"Oh, what's with the Bridge of Sighs?"

"Legend has it that if couples kiss on the Bridge of Sighs, they would be together forever."

"What?" Xiao Zhan asked abstractedly. "But I'm not next to you?"

"..." Wang Yibo startled for a moment, he exposed a gentle smile. "Ok, next time we'll come here together-"

"Hello!" A fairy-like face appeared on the screen, a woman in a fur coat and sunglasses greeted Xiao Zhan. "Zhan, do you still remember me!"

"Aunty?!"

– Oh my god! Did Wang Li Xia hear Wang Yibo's entire conversation?! Wang Yibo aren't you embarrassed! Ahhhhh- Xiao Zhan buried his head in his blanket, his backside raised high in the air, Wang Li Xia covered her mouth, laughing.

"Is Zhan embarrassed? Uncle wants to meet you too, let me introduce, this is Wang Yibo's father, my husband, Wang Fu."

"Hello! How are you!" Wang Fu looked cultured and elegant, his features dignified, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his first impression not unlike that of a language teacher, you would never imagine that he could be a president of a Fortune Global 500 company. "Ah I'm a little nervous, heheh... My, this is the first time I'm seeing my daughter-in-law..." Wang Fu laughed while blushing, "When I first heard Li Xia mentioning you I felt it was strange, why would a girl be named Zhan, turns out it's a boy hahaha-"

"..." Your heart is truly big.

"But a boy is good too, I think a girl wouldn't be able to withstand Little Yibo's bad temper! If you can accept it it'll be great!"

"No no no, Uncle what are you talking about," Xiao Zhan was overwhelmed, he never thought that he would ever have a chance to speak with a textbook example of a company president. "Wang Yibo's really nice, really really!"

"Alright aren't you annoying, let's talk about something interesting instead!" Next to him, Wang Li Xia was complaining, the couple's faces filled the screen. "Would Zhan like to move and stay with us? Your parents can come along too, we'll build another house next to ours for you, we can take care of each other!"

– Wait what, you rich people can decide something so casually? You guys think that building a house is like buying vegetables at a market?! Luckily Wang Yibo stepped in quickly, he took his phone back.

"Senior, don't bother about my parents, we'll meet at the start of the semester, also, we've passed the Bridge of Sighs."

"What a waste."

"Why don't you still give me a kiss, treat it as though its a New Year's present."

"..." Xiao Zhan was a little shy. "Then, then I, I'll send you a selfie, bye!"

Ten minutes later Xiao Zhan finally sent a heteroseWangal version of a kissy lips selfie, Wang Yibo smiled faintly, he could imagine Xiao Zhan frustratedly trying to take an acceptable photo. He saved the photo as his wallpaper- Senior's photo is pretty ugly.

— But it's still unbearably cute.
