Chapter 274: Shao Cheng Appreciating The New Chance Given To Him. "Cheng, Happy New Year."
As soon as the celebration has reach midnight, various firecrackers have resounded out along while the countless brilliant fireworks launch in the air was in the surrounding area of the Palace for the Imperial Family to enjoy.
Since anything relating to the use of fireworks is strictly managed by the control and supervision of the Royal Family.
Of course, the noblest and influential living closest to the Imperial Palace was able to witness the firework display in the dark sky, which the Shao Family being one of them.
"Third Brother, isn't it beautiful?"
"... Yes..."
Although Shao Cheng has witnessed far colorful, longer, and brighter fireworks in modern life, however, the feeling is completely different when witnessing such an amazing view with the people who are becoming part of his life.
After a few minutes of watching the continuous fireworks in a huge Pavillion, Shao Cheng has finally decided to take a rest for the night with the reason of his body still in a weakened state.
Although, there is something he already arranges a task to act for tonight but he wasn't completely lying about how bad his health since the deadly poison is genuinely harmful to his body.
"It's alright Little Cheng, having you with us right now is already amazing. Please take proper rest and have a nice night."
"Don't worry Third Brother, we will make sure to store the gift we have given you in a secure room and would deliver it tomorrow to your courtyard."
Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei have gently held their third son's hands with a pleasant smile on their faces while Shao Yan has powerfully patted his chest and assuring to properly take care of the countless gifts settled in the dining hall.
"Third Brother would you like me to come along and send you back?"
In order for everyone to feel reassured, Shao Cheng has accepted his second brother's offer to escort him back, of course, after mentioning the new beginning, he calmly took a step forward before giving his parent and siblings a rare quick hug.
And although Shao Cheng felt the usual aversion whenever he tried to get close to other people, of course, with Ren Yuan being the only exception, the surprise and delight in his family faces were worth the uncomfortable sensation he felt.
"Father, Mothers, Brothers, and Sisters, Happy New Year."
Shao Cheng lip twitch before a quick small but genuine smile has appeared on his face while his already numb and weary heart was slowly being warmed up by the sincerity and love of the people around him.
It's unusual in having such a pleasant feeling tonight.
Although he has Huang Ya and Chang Pei in the previous life, the loneliness, and feeling of being isolated by the entire world weren't as strong in the new life, especially when in the exact New Year Celebration he has always been drinking without anyone by his side.
After all, Huang Ya and Chang Pei have the obligation and duty to stay with their families during special events no matter how much they felt about them.
"Cheng, Happy New Year."
Shao Cheng usually calm and cold sapphire eyes couldn't help but fluctuate after hearing the gentle greeting which is filled with overwhelming love with their eyes shimmering with endless warmth and affection.
Thank you for giving me another chance in life, I will make sure to wisely and carefully treasure such an extraordinary oppurtunity.
Rather than Shao Cheng being overwhelmed with hatred and revenge while seeing anyone who went against him in the previous life with malice and hostile eyes, he would prefer to move in a way that would benefit and help the people he has wrong in the previous life.
I was also at fault for what happened.
Unlike how other people would react after being given another chance, Shao Cheng wouldn't unreservedly and hypocritically place all the blame on the people around him.
Since receiving the overwhelming warmth and positive emotions from others and placing it in the heart is far better than causing it to be consumed and damage by negative emotions?
So, with those in mind, Shao Cheng has once again given his family a quick small, and genuine smile before leaving the huge Pavilion with his second brother while taking the content Little Chen Yu and drunk Pinky.
"Second Brother, here you go."
While on the way out of the main residence without people in the surrounding, Shao Cheng has calmly taken a piece of paper over his long wide sleeves and giving it to his second brother walking by his side.
Before giving a gentle pat to the Little Chen Yu being carried in Shao Chonglin arms, which is quite a rare situation for the chubby wolf cub to allow another person to carry him, well, aside from their twin Mothers.
As for the reason why Shao Cheng wasn't carrying the chubby wolf cub instead of his second brother, it was because Little Chen Yu can be helpful to what his second brother is about to do.
Fortunately, the little guy knows when to be unyielding and when to be obedient, unlike a certain drunk Purple who was floating and swaying in the air while letting out a perverted giggle once in a while.
... I definitely don't want to know what is going on in that crazy head of his.
"Little Chen Yu, I leave Second Brother in your care."
"Woo!"
Papa, there is no need to worry! Little Chen Yu will help Uncle Bug complete the task in a splendid manner!
"... Little Cheng, do you really have to do it? We have countless people around... ah, forget it... I know that no one can change your mind once you have decided to do something but please take care alright?"
Shao Cheng couldn't help but glance at his second brother after hearing the extreme worries and concern in his voice, before nodding his head with a serious expression on his face.
"Second Brother, I will take care of myself."
"If it doesn't work out or if it will turn dangerous, please quickly leave and make sure to save yourself alright? I would regret it for the rest of my entire life if something bad happens to you."
"I know Second Brother. I'm always cautious with everything I do, besides, Brother Yuan will get angry if I get hurt."
Even though the world doesn't want my plan to turn out smooth and easy, giving sudden trouble but I can still handle it.
Shao Cheng can only remain quiet after seeing the complicated emotions in his second brother's eyes, appearing to be still fighting the reason about wanting to completely keep him safe and sound without worry while letting someone else do the work.
However, such a thought was completely useless because Shao Cheng wouldn't easily change the plan already he has in mind while knowing full well what kind of life he has chosen to walk.
It's definitely a bloody and painful path.
Brother, I will never be able to live a calm, safe, and worry-free life, but, everything is worth it if I can keep all of you safe and happy while having an entirely different future rather than what happened in the previous life.
"Second Brother I have to be the one to do it."
"... Honestly, it's a great relief to see you have change Little Cheng, however, there is also something that wouldn't change no matter what happened. As always, you are still obstinate and resolute in your way."
"..."
Shao Cheng can only blink his eyes after seeing Shao Chonglin releasing a deep sigh and letting out what he has in mind, which is one of the signs about the result of the new beginning he has mentioned.
If it was in the past, there is no way that Shao Chonglin can openly say such words toward him, instead, his second brother would have been more cautious and anxious about what reaction he would show.
"I won't die."
At least, I can promise you that, after all, it isn't so easy for me to die or easily killed so early in my new life.
Shao Cheng's act of appeasement and comfort seemed to have failed and weren't helpful as he thought after seeing the quickly darkening expression of his second brother's face after hearing what he has said.
... oh... such a different reaction from Huang Ya and Chang Pei which would have just nodded their head with an 'I believe in you' expression on their face.
