th Day of the First Lunar Month


    It was the New Year again.


    This New Year was very cold. It snowed heavily on the first day of the New Year. Last year, it didn''t


    snow much. The snow volume this year was twice as inst year.


    Heavy snow covered everything, and the outside was white, clean, and pure.


    The only New Year atmosphere in this vi was probably Lilian. The people who were responsible for


    guarding this ce were all men. Many of them probably did not even have family, so they had no


    concept of New Year.


    Lilian was a very polite person. She cut a lot of window flowers and stuck them in the vi. She even


    madenterns by herself. On New Year''s Eve, she had prepared a lot of noodles and fillings and made


    dumplings together with Ceres.


    Lilian was very popr among guarding men who called her Sister Lilian because she was very good


    to everyone.


    Johny returned to Evian Town during the New Year.


    Thinking back tost year, Johny was celebrating New Year with Ceres, which seemed to have


    happened yesterday. Johny and Jack had quarreled against each other and had not returned to the


    Winsors this year.


    It was said that Jack was seriously ill and had stayed in the hospital for a long time. But he was fine


    now. He was just weak and needed to pay more attention.


    Bob came to Evian Town along with Bill. Ever since Ceres was gone, the two of them never saw Johny


    smile.


    Although Johny didn''t like to smile in the past, he would asionally joke with them and make fun of


    them, but now his heart seemed dead.


    The three of them ate the hot pot. The hot pot warmed the entire room, but it could not warm Johny''s


    heart.


    Johny could not find Ceres even he searched almost all the industries under the Winsors for so long!


    "This meatball is not delicious at all. The beef ball made by Ceresst time was even more delicious.


    God, that is the most delicious beef ball I have ever eaten!"


    Bill couldn''t help but sigh.


    Bob hurriedly stepped on his foot under the table. Bill was really asking for trouble!


    Bill immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Brother, I don''t mean anything else.


    Actually, the beef ball made by Ceres is very ordinary and simr."


    Bob red at Bill fiercely, ''''Was he an idiot?''''


    Johny''s face turned ck.


    Bob hurriedly said, "Johny, don''t be too anxious. There are so many industries in your family. Maybe


    you missed something. I''ll check if there are any industries that are not registered."


    Johny kept eating and pretended to be fine. Since Ceres was kidnapped, everything he ate was for


    survival.


    "Maybe I was wrong."


    Because Johny hadn''t been able to find Ceres for a long time, he began to doubt himself.


    Maybe Jack hid her somewhere else, or maybe she was overseas?


    "Johny, I heard from my dad that Uncle Jack was decisive. There''s no need for him to save Ceres, so I


    think..." Bill interrupted.


    It was very possible that Ceres was already dead.


    "Shut up!" Bob angrily rebuked. Bill had been originally called here to liven up the atmosphere, but why


    did he always say the wrong thing!


    "Am I wrong? If she is dead, what are you looking for? There are so many women in the world, why are


    you so persistent? Johny, let''s give up. Ceres must be dead. Is there anything you can''t find out? Since


    you can''t find it, she is dead! Do you understand?" Bill replied.


    Johny dropped his chopsticks and punched Bill''s face.


    Bill took a few steps back, and his blood immediately flowed out of his nose.


    "Even though I had known you would hit me, I would still want to say it too! Johny, you have been


    decadent for a long time. Don''t be stubborn anymore, okay? Forget it! You have done enough for her!


    What kind of identity is she? It is worth it to be doted on for so long!"


    In the past few months, Bill couldn''t bear to see Johny so sad. He finally said what he wanted to say.

    Bob stopped Johny, "Johny, what Bill said is nonsense! But what he said makes sense! You can''t keep


    looking like this! How long are you going to keep looking? How long are you going to be depressed?


    Can''t you live without her?"


    Johny was pretty different from before.


    Johny was working all the time. He made himself busy to numb himself. When he was not working, he


    smoked and drank without any entertainment.


    He didn''t go to the gym, nor did he go to the bar. He was full of decadence.


    Neither of his friends wished for him to be like this, they wished for him to truly live.


    "I don''t want to see all of you!" Johny finished the ss of wine on the table and strode upstairs.


    He used to be in Ceres''s bedroom. Looking at everything familiar, his heart ached over and over


    again.
