These past few days, I haven't experienced any insomnia and have been able to sleep peacefully throughout the night, waking up naturally each day.

Ou Yue slowly woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She stretched lazily, and the golden sunlight filtered through the half-open curtain, creating a playful dance of shadows. The gentle breeze added to the overall sense of relaxation and contentment.

It's really delightful to have a vacation, even though the Assassin Squad is not usually very busy.

In the two years since Randall ascended the throne, various forces were entangled and he frequently had to handle numerous tasks. Bloodshed and injuries became commonplace.

Today is different from the past. The current situation is relatively stable. As Eu Yue puts it, there are not as many people seeking death, so they have a relatively relaxed life.

The robot Xiaota had already cleaned the room very neatly while he was asleep. Its movements were light and did not wake him up.

After getting dressed and tidying up, she realized that it was close to noon. Having skipped breakfast, her stomach was feeling a bit restless, causing a sour discomfort. Mixing a few stomach pills in warm water, she put on a scarf and stepped out of the door.

The streets are filled with a festive atmosphere. Every shop's entrance is decorated with Christmas trees adorned with cute ornaments. The glass storefronts are adorned with colorful Christmas stockings and hats, adding a touch of playfulness to this city, which blends the ancient European style with a hint of the future.

Today is Christmas Eve, and as night falls, the streets are sure to be bustling with excitement.

Every year on Christmas Eve, a crowd of people gather at the Royal Grand Square to wait for the countdown of the bells, and then scream and celebrate together.

Ouyue smiled as she recalled that back then, when they were all still young, she had also spent Christmas with Randall.

That year, both of them were only eighteen years old, experiencing the most wonderful time of their youth. They stood in the crowded crowd on the main square of Ximanli City, waiting for the Christmas bells to ring.

"How much longer is it going to take?" Randell frowned impatiently. Being squeezed and jostled by the crowd, the physical contact with people made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, the two of them had similar heights and youthful faces. Ou Yue still had semi-long hair, which was tied into a small braid that reached his fingers and was secured at the back of his head. He wore a funny and adorable Santa Claus hat on top of his head, with his shiny black eyes full of excitement.

Today is Christmas Eve, and he worked really hard to get the person out of the school.

"It's almost there, just one more minute!"

Eu Yue glanced at the time on the communicator. The surroundings were bustling from all directions. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear clearly, Eu Yue tightly grabbed Randall's sleeve and leaned closer to his ear, laughing loudly.

At this moment, someone squeezed past from the left rear. Ouyue, who was already crowded, immediately fell forward and collided with the person in front of her.

Randall didn't have time to think too much. In an instant, he reached out and grabbed his waist, pulling him closer.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The bell on top of the clock tower in the center of Simon Lee Square rang heavily.

People fell silent in an instant, their hands clasped together in prayer as they devoutly made wishes to God.

With his eyes closed, Ou Yue's mouth curved up in satisfaction. His shoulder was tightly pressed against Randal's shoulder at this moment.

Oh my God, I want my confession to be successful and to be with Randall forever...

After the twenty-fourth toll of the bell, dazzling fireworks exploded into the sky from all directions, blossoming into beautiful patterns in the night sky.

In the midst of the crowd, a resounding "Merry Christmas!" erupted, each one louder than the previous. The atmosphere suddenly ignited, and everyone began screaming and celebrating to their heart's content.

Couples around were kissing underneath the fireworks, creating a very romantic atmosphere.

Eu Yue's ears turned red for no apparent reason. He couldn't help but turn his head and gaze at Randall's profile. The long, black lashes cast a shadow upon his eyes, slightly veiling their beautiful ice blue color.

"Merry Christmas, Randall."

"Merry Christmas—" Randall turned his head to look at him, maintaining his indifferent tone. However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the face of the black-haired youth in front of him come closer. At the same time, he felt a warm and soft object gently touch his lips.

The fleeting touch of a dragonfly's kiss, Ou Yue looked at the bewildered orange-haired youth and said firmly and sincerely, "I like you, be with me."

Randall didn't respond to anything, not even rejecting. The only response he gave to the black-haired youth was to leave quickly without even turning his head.

The black-haired youth felt his tears swirling in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth to stop the warm liquid from flowing out.

Left alone in the crowd of laughter, he clenched his hands tightly, unwilling to accept his fate.

He used to think that he was somewhat special to this indifferent young man, but now it seems that he has overestimated his position in Randall's heart.

Watching Randall's departing figure, he thought sadly, perhaps there were too many people making wishes to the gods tonight, so the gods didn't have time to hear his wish...
