Su Li's life now could truly be called carefree. On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, although the holiday hadn't officially started, many people had already returned to their hometowns early, and B City seemed to have emptied out overnight.
This year was the first time she would spend the New Year alone. While it felt somewhat bleak, she preferred it to the chaos of past New Year celebrations.
However, just when she thought she would be alone, both Xu Anran and Tang Nian called, stating they would come to her house for hotpot on Chinese New Year's Eve.
She understood the sisters' intentions, but she still quietly kept that touch of emotion to herself. Some things were better kept in the heart, there was no need to talk about them openly.
Su Li took out a notebook and began to jot down what she needed to buy the next day for the New Year. It was indeed a bit late to start preparing on the twenty-ninth, but it would just mean a couple of extra trips.
