Xiao Liulang despised New Year's Eve because he would always dream of boundless, raging fires on that night.

He tried not to fall asleep, but the moment he closed his eyes, he could deeply feel the despair within that fiery light.

"Who wants to lay a hand on you?" he grumbled, turning his face away.

Gu Jiao brought a bowl of water over. "Who can guarantee that you guys say one thing but do another? To prevent you from fooling around, I'll leave a bowl of water here. If you dare to come over and spill this bowl of water in the middle of the night, then you're a beast!"

"Alright, if I come over, I'm a beast!

How could he possibly go over to her?

He had absolutely no desire for this woman!
