The Long Family is no longer troubling Xiaofan, so Xiaofan naturally won't take the initiative to provoke them again.

The winter vacation has arrived, and school is out. This also means that the new year is coming again.

"Xiaofan, are you going home to spend the New Year with your grandfather again this year?" Liu Siyan and Xiaofan planned to go shopping together, holding hands while strolling and chatting on the street.

"Hmm? Ah. Yes. How about you accompany me back?"

"Go together... to meet your grandfather?" Hearing Xiaofan's words without any preparation, Liu Siyan blushed.

"Of course."

"Isn't it too soon?"

"Too soon for what?" Xiaofan really didn't mean it that way; it was just Liu Siyan's own misunderstanding.

After all, when Liu Siyan was a child, she used to live in Xiaofan's house. Although they both hadn't spelled it out, they knew each other was the childhood playmate from back then. So, Xiaofan inviting Li Sisi to come along was just to recall the fun of childhood, not to meet the parents.

"Maybe next time I have some free time. Every New Year, my dad is alone at home; I'd better stay at home to keep him company."

"Hmm, that's true. Filial piety is first, after all. On holidays, children should accompany their parents. I might go back tomorrow." Xiaofan said lightly.

"Tomorrow, so soon?"

"Yes, my grandfather called and said he found a few methods that might help restore my power. Although there's not much hope, it's always worth a try. Who knows, it might succeed." Xiaofan always maintains an optimistic attitude towards the loss of his power.

But it's better than having nothing. If my power were intact, it wouldn't matter how many people the Long Family sent; I could handle it alone. No need to trouble so many people to run errands for me.

Li San and the others have their own lives; they can't always stay by my side. If something like this happens again and Li San and the others aren't around, it could be dangerous.

"Hmm, you'll have to miss me when you go back."

"Definitely."

"Let's go, shall we have Lamb Soup?"

"Sure."

"Oh, is Meng Ying going back too? Are you going back together?"

"I'll ask her later, and if she is going back, I'll help book her a plane ticket."

"Wow, you always have beautiful women accompanying you." Liu Siyan said with a pout.

"Uh..."

"If possible, visit Aunt Meng Ying's house; she's worked hard."

"I plan to bring her to the Capital City to live after the New Year so that it's easier to take care of her."

"Hmm, you're thoughtful."

After the incident with the Long Family, Xiaofan has become slightly more eager to restore his inner strength. Of course, he wouldn't force it if he couldn't obtain it. He plans to be more proactive in finding ways to restore his power in the future.

Meanwhile... on a street in Russia.

Snow covered the road, and the scenery all around was completely white.

The New Year is coming again so soon.

There aren't many pedestrians on the road, but a woman dressed in a black cloak attracts a lot of attention as she walks slowly down the street.

Although not very clear to see, just a glimpse of her profile had passersby exclaiming how beautiful she was, such a stunning girl.

She's not from Russia, is she? An Asian, which East Asian country could have produced such an exquisite woman?

"Hey, miss, are you out shopping alone in this cold weather? Need a hand from your brother?"

"Get lost..."

"Hey, let's have some fun together, I promise you'll have a warm cave... Ah, ah ah..."

She doesn't remember how many times street thugs have hit on her, always having to scare them away with a show of force.

What's with these guys? Why don't they ever listen? That guy named Ye Xiaofan is different; no matter what I'm thinking, he can always figure it out so clearly. He's always prepared in advance.

Hmm? Why did I suddenly think of that guy again?

The last time I returned home with the Russian Empress, I still lacked the courage to find him, simply returning to Russia with the Empress. Facing the coming New Year, this girl suddenly felt homesick. Hmm, she wanted to go back, to see that guy. Just thinking about it, but ultimately, she still didn't take any actual action.

The last time she talked to her brother on the phone, her brother said Ye Xiaofan had been waiting for a long time, wasn't it time to go back and give him an answer? But that completely blank memory still brought her confusion and bewilderment.

"Creak... creak..."

"NO... my dear."

Suddenly, the woman walking by the side of the road heard an exclamation from the street. A couple was preparing to cross the road when the girl accidentally slipped, and just as she did, a car came speeding towards them.

Due to the slippery snowy road, the car wasn't going fast, and braking measures were taken beforehand, but the car still uncontrollably headed towards the couple in the middle of the road.

The man quickly pulled the girl up, trying to push her away, but it was too late.

'Whoosh.' At this moment, the beautiful woman on the side of the road dropped the food she had just bought and dashed forward, suddenly pulling the couple back.

"Oh, my God..."

"Oh, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, dear, how about you?"

"I'm okay too."

The newlywed couple was just recovering from the shock and, once safe, immediately embraced and kissed each other passionately without any hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the woman felt moved. In the face of death, their unwavering bond served as the best testament to their love. Congratulations to them; what they found in each other is true love.

True love...

Thunk, the woman's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wasn't it the same for that guy named Ye Xiaofan, who was willing to do anything for her? Even when her knife was pointed at his throat, he never flinched.

"Oh, miss, thank you for saving us just now..."

"Wow, you're so beautiful."

"You're welcome. Be careful next time. Goodbye..."

"Hey, your food dropped on the ground."

"I don't want it. I'm going home."

"Well, can we know your name?"

"Me? I'm Shen Zuimo. Goodbye."

Going back, going back to find him? Who cares if that part of the memory is blank; at least the current memories are clear. Everyone can see the facts; why continue to hide? Why not just say to his face: I like you too. What's so difficult about that? That idiot almost told me every day that he liked me, and he never blushed. Who cares about all that, I'm going back anyway.

"Hey, put me through to the Empress. Hmm, hello, I'm Shen Zuimo, and today I'm submitting my resignation to you. Yes, the New Year is coming, I want to go home. No need, thank you for the care and help during this time. I'll definitely come back to work for you in Huaxia if there's a chance in the future."

"Why so suddenly? I was planning to introduce my grandson to you. Can you tell me why?"

"Because of love..."
