Although the person in the photo was Song Jia, Song Jia’s identity was not exposed. As long as she didn’t say anything, no one would know. It seemed that she didn’t have to worry so much about this.

“Then rest early. Good night.” Lu Zhen relaxed and sent a message to Song Jia.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival. Lu Zhen had been staying at home these past few days and did not go out much. She would order takeout or make a simple sandwich. Occasionally, Song Jia would come over to cook dumplings for her. Lu Zhen gradually got used to their interactions.

However, sometimes, when she looked at Song Jia’s figure in the kitchen, Lu Zhen could feel a warm and reassuring feeling in her heart. There was even a hint of sweetness.

On this day, Lu Zhen slept until past nine o’clock. The weather was cold, and she was like a small hibernating animal. Sometimes, when she woke up in the morning, she did not want to get up. She became lazy.

Lu Zhen turned on her cell phone and saw a message from Song Jia. “Are you The message was sent at around seven o’clock. Lu Zhen replied in embarrassment, “I just got up. What’s wrong?”

After a while, there was a knock on the door. When the door opened, Lu Zhen saw Song Jia in a light gray sweater carrying a paper box.

“What’s this?”

“Spring couplets and some decorations. They were supposed to be a benefit given to employees by the company. There’s still some left, so I went to the company to get it. Do you want it?”

Lu Zhen opened the box and saw five or six red lanterns and hand-knitted pendants. She immediately felt the traditional festive atmosphere. Lu Zhen thought for a moment and nodded. “Give it to me then.”

“I’ll help you paste the couplets. It’s not convenient for you,” Song Jia said.

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

After a while, Song Jia brought over a two-sided sticker and pasted the couplets outside the door and room. Then, he pasted the red window paper on the window. With the red decorations in the house, it immediately became much livelier and festive.

Then, Song Jia was about to hang the red lantern and weavings on the door.

Seeing that he was about to take out the lantern, Lu Zhen suddenly became interested. She said to Song Jia, “Can I hang it?”

Lu Zhen’s big clear eyes revealed the curiosity and anticipation of a child. Song Jia nodded. “But you’re not tall enough. Let me get you a chair. You can stand on the chair and hang it yourself.”

Song Jia brought the chair from the cafeteria over. Lu Zhen stood on the chair while Song Jia held it. Lu Zhen slowly hung the lantern.

“There’s a switch under the lantern. It can light up,” Song Jia reminded.

Lu Zhen turned on the switch. As expected, the small lantern emitted a faint light. Lu Zhen clapped her hands happily. “It’s so beautiful!”

However, because Lu Zhen was too happy, she did not notice that one of her feet had suddenly stepped on the outside of the chair. Her body tilted.

“Be careful!” Song Jia was very fast and immediately hugged Lu Zhen, who had lost her balance.

After Lu Zhen missed, she closed her eyes in fear, but the pain she had imagined did not appear. She fell into a warm embrace and a pair of strong arms held her firmly.

Lu Zhen opened her eyes and saw Song Jia looking at her. The two of them looked at each other, and time seemed to have stopped for a moment. Lu Zhen’s heart suddenly beat faster, and a faint pink color slowly appeared on her face.

“I’m fine. Thank you.” Lu Zhen looked away in a panic. She jumped out of Song Jia’s arms and took two steps back.

The man’s pleasant scent gradually dissipated. Lu Zhen’s heartbeat returned to normal, but she still didn’t dare to look up at Song Jia.

“Be careful next time. Indeed, there’s a reason why Xiaoxiao is worried about you.” Song Jia moved the chair away and took the remaining few small lanterns. “Let me hang them.”

When Lu Zhen heard Song Jia’s words, she thought that he was complaining about her clumsiness. She immediately defended herself indignantly. “I was just careless just now. This was just an accident!”

Song Jia turned to look at her with a faint smile in his eyes. “Yes, it was an accident, but I don’t dare to let anything happen to you again.”

Song Jia’s eyes were very beautiful, and his eyelashes were so long that girls were envious. When he looked at her, it was as if the stars in the entire Milky Way were shining.

Lu Zhen almost did not dare to look into these eyes for a moment. She immediately looked out the window. After hanging the lanterns and weaving, Song Jia asked Lu Zhen if she had any plans for tonight.

Tonight was New Year’s Eve.

Lu Zhen shook her head in confusion. “I don’t have any arrangements. I’m probably just watching television and going to bed early.”

Song Jia frowned.. “Haven’t you celebrated the Spring Festival with your family before?”
