Upon arriving in the Provincial Capital, Yang Qi took a taxi to the Handong University faculty housing.
He easily found his way to Song Chunfang's villa and rang the doorbell.
Before long, the door opened.
A young woman with fair skin and delicate features answered.
Upon seeing Yang Qi, she lowered her head shyly. "Happy New Year, Junior Uncle. Please, come in."
"He Yuan, Happy New Year," Yang Qi said with a smiling nod as he stepped inside.
The house was pleasantly warm, its decor elegant and cozy, filled with a scholarly air.
Several people were already seated on the living room sofa, chatting and laughing merrily.
"Xiaoqi is here."
Fang Rong, dressed in a tasteful cashmere sweater, smiled and waved at Yang Qi.
"Senior Sister Fang, Happy New Year." Yang Qi smiled and walked over.
"Junior Brother, we've been eagerly awaiting your arrival!"
Yang Fan greeted him as well.
"Brother Yang, Happy New Year," Yang Qi responded.
