Bab 210: Chapter 210: Someone to Accompany on New Year's Eve_1

"Yes." Wei Jinyi's reply was undoubtedly affirmative.

After some contemplation, Wei Ruo gave in.

Wei Ruo agreed, "Alright then, I will speak with them later. You can help as my friend."

"Okay."

So, Wei Jinyi stayed. He changed into more convenient short clothes and busied himself by Wei Ruo's side.

That evening, Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo kept busy until almost midnight.

Today was New Year's Eve, a time that should be filled with family joy, but tonight there was no heart for celebration in this small courtyard.

Wei Ruo stood in the yard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, her thoughts a tangle.

Unmelted snow, disease coming again. This end of the year was filled with hardship, sorrow, and partings.

"What are you thinking about?" Wei Jinyi asked.

"Nothing much, just feeling a bit melancholy about this year. So many people will die."

Starvation, freezing, disease, each word representing countless lives.
