In the pulse of the city, the annual festival quietly arrives. On this day, the publishing house is bustling with activity, organizing a small yet warm celebration. The office is adorned with colorful ribbons and balloons, and every corner is filled with the joy and laughter of the holiday.
Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin are also swept up in this festive atmosphere. Bai Huaiyu wears a simple yet elegant dress, her face adorned with a charming smile, and her eyes sparkle with the light of the celebration. Jiang NanJin, on the other hand, is dressed in a casual shirt paired with dark jeans. Although he appears somewhat lazy in demeanor, there is an unusual glint of interest in his eyes.
Before the event began, Bai Huaiyu couldn't help but nervously tug at Jiang NanJin's sleeve. "Jiang NanJin, what do you think about today's event? Will it be boring?" There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Jiang NanJin turned his head and looked at her slightly furrowed face due to her nervousness, unable to help but chuckle softly. "Don't worry, with me around, how could it possibly be boring?" His voice carried a playful tone.
The event officially began with an enthusiastic speech from the publisher's director, who thanked everyone for their hard work over the past year and wished everyone a happy holiday. Following this, lively music played in the background as employees started to engage in relaxed conversations and enjoy delicious festive food.
Bai Huaiyu, under the guidance of Jiang NanJin, began to interact with her colleagues. Her personality allowed her to quickly blend into the vibrant atmosphere. Her laughter was bright, and her eyes sparkled with joy, revealing her fondness for the holiday.
Jiang NanJin appeared relatively silent, but his eyes occasionally wandered over to Bai Huaiyu, seemingly admiring her happiness. He would occasionally chime in with a few remarks, each laced with his signature sharp tongue and humor, eliciting continuous laughter from those around him.
The night sky was as deep as ink, and the lights flickered in the lobby of the publishing house, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and relaxed for this special evening. The employees gathered together, eagerly anticipating the upcoming talent show. The air was filled with excitement and expectation.
Bai Huaiyu sat among the crowd, feeling a bit nervous. She was accustomed to being calm and professional at work, but showcasing her talent on such a stage was still a challenge for her. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the microphone in her hand, and her gaze occasionally swept toward Jiang NanJin, as if seeking courage and support.
Jiang NanJin sat in the corner, a cup of coffee placed in front of him. He seemed out of place in the lively atmosphere around him, but when his eyes fell on Bai Huaiyu, a hint of concern appeared. In his usual lazy tone, he said, "Go ahead, you can do great. Don't let their enthusiasm go to waste."
Bai Huaiyu took a deep breath, stood up, and walked somewhat unsteadily toward the stage. As she stood there, the spotlight shining on her, a mix of nervousness and anticipation appeared on her face. She cleared her throat and began to sing. Her voice started off slightly trembling but quickly became strong and clear, as if her singing possessed a kind of magic that could reach the softest parts of the human heart.
As her voice soared, the venue gradually fell silent, everyone captivated by her performance. When she finished, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. A look of surprise and satisfaction spread across Bai Huaiyu's face as her eyes searched for Jiang Nanjin, hoping to receive his affirmation.
Jiang NanJin looked at Bai Huaiyu on stage, and his eyes indeed sparkled with pride and admiration. When her gaze met his, he unconsciously raised a satisfied smile and gently nodded. This small gesture seemed to give Bai Huaiyu immense encouragement, and her smile became even more radiant.
After the performance, Bai Huaiyu stepped down from the stage, her face beaming with joy and satisfaction. "Jiang NanJin, did you see? I really did it!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Jiang NanJin nodded gently, "I saw it, you did great." His voice revealed sincere admiration.
As the evening approached its end, the organizers arranged a spectacular fireworks show. As the fireworks soared into the sky, the night was illuminated by a kaleidoscope of colors, each burst of fireworks seemed to tell a magical story, brilliant and dreamlike. Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin stood among the crowd; although surrounded by the noise of people, it seemed they could only hear each other's breath.
Bai Huaiyu's eyes sparkled as she excitedly watched the fireworks in the sky like a child. She occasionally gasped in awe, and each time a firework exploded, a look of surprise lit up her face. She turned to Jiang NanJin, her eyes filled with excitement, "Jiang NanJin, look at that! It's so beautiful!"
Jiang NanJin stood beside her, appearing more relaxed and calm. However, under the glow of the fireworks, his gaze revealed a hint of elusive tenderness. He responded lightly, "Yeah, it really is beautiful." Although his tone carried his usual sharpness, there was an added softness in this moment.
As the last burst of fireworks slowly faded in the night sky, the atmosphere around them became softer. Bai Huaiyu's face still bore an unmistakable joy as she gently leaned against Jiang NanJin, seemingly seeking a sense of security. "I really wish this moment could last forever," she whispered.
Jiang NanJin turned his head, his features appearing slightly softer in the glow of the fireworks. He looked into Bai Huaiyu's eyes, his tone carrying a subtle hint of concern. "In this ever-changing world, nothing is eternal. However, the beauty of this moment will always remain in our hearts."
Hearing this, Bai Huaiyu's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion. Her gaze softened, almost melting into the brilliance of the fireworks in the night sky. She leaned closer to Jiang NanJin and whispered, "Thank you, Jiang NanJin. With you by my side, everything feels possible."
At that moment, the atmosphere between them became particularly ambiguous, their eyes intertwining under the dazzling fireworks, as if their hearts were drawn closer in that instant. A faint smile appeared at the corners of Jiang NanJin's mouth as he gently took Bai Huaiyu's hand. This simple gesture seemed to carry an unspoken significance on this night.
The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, but Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin remained standing there, as if the entire world had shrunk to just the two of them. In this brief yet beautiful moment, they both felt an unprecedented connection and understanding, one that transcended mere camaraderie and resembled a profound resonance of souls.
Bai Huaiyu turned to Jiang NanJin, her eyes shimmering with appreciation for the wonderful time they had shared. "Tonight was truly beautiful. Thank you for spending it with me," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of gentle affection.
Jiang NanJin looked at her, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of his characteristic sarcastic smile. "Yeah, I never expected to enjoy my time in a situation like this. But with you here, everything seems to be not so bad."
Bai Huaiyu, hearing this, showed a trace of an awkward smile on her face. She gently patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you complimenting me or making fun of me?"
Jiang NanJin pretended to think for a moment, then replied softly, "Of course it's the former. Why would you doubt my intentions?" His tone revealed an unintentional tenderness.
In the afterglow of the festival, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin walked back to the office. The city lights flickered in the night, and there were few pedestrians on the streets; everything seemed particularly tranquil.
Walking on the way home, the two occasionally exchanged a few light-hearted words. Bai Huaiyu's steps were light, and she would occasionally tread carefully due to small pebbles, while Jiang NanJin would often reach out his hand beside her to prevent her from accidentally falling.
At that moment, Bai Huaiyu's heart was filled with gratitude and happiness. She couldn't help but recall some of Jiang NanJin's past words and actions; although he always carried an air of disdain and laziness, she could sense the care and warmth hidden behind it.
"Jiang NanJin, you are truly special," Bai Huaiyu said with a hint of sincerity in her tone. "You always seem so unique, making it hard for others to grasp you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang NanJin stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her, his gaze unusually gentle. "Really? But I feel that when I'm with you, I am my truest self."
The two gazes met in the night, both sparkling with deep affection and understanding. In that moment, everything around them seemed less important; it was just the two of them and the intangible yet real emotions between them.
As they reached Bai Huaiyu's doorstep, Jiang NanJin stopped. "I had a great time tonight, Bai Huaiyu," his voice was low and gentle.
Bai Huaiyu nodded, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. "Yes, me too. Thank you, Jiang NanJin."
They watched each other until they disappeared into the night. That night, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin's hearts drew closer and understood each other like never before during the festival celebrations. The festivities were not just moments of joy; they were also an opportunity for their feelings to deepen.
