What if My Brother is Too Good? Chapter 230

Before they knew it, another year had passed.

This New Year’s, Huo Wu and Huo Yusen spent time together with Gu Wei in the nursing home.

Recently, whenever Huo Wu was free, she would go to accompany Gu Wei and spend some time with her. Although Gu Wei's mind was still unstable, and she couldn't give Huo Wu much of a response, her health was developing in a good direction.

There were red lanterns hanging in the nursing home. Everywhere was red, looking festive and prosperous.

A small room in the nursing home was looking very cozy at the moment.

The hot pot in the middle of the table was boiling, and the steam was making the temperature in the room rise a bit.

Huo Wu cut a few slices of lamb for Gu Wei to eat.

Gu Wei had always been quiet and serene. Devoid of the hysteria when they first met, she seemed much calmer.

After their New Year’s Eve dinner, the time happened to be seven o’clock in the evening.

There was still a full hour before the eight o'clock Spring Festival Gala.

Huo Yusen retrieved a Kongming lantern out of nowhere. "Shall we release it?"

Huo Wu nodded vigorously. "Okay."

After the lantern was lit, it slowly rose into the air.

Huo Wu looked up at the lantern floating mid-air, hurriedly clasped her hands together, and made a wish to the Kongming lantern in the sky.

When she finished making her wish and opened her eyes, she realized that Huo Yusen was looking at her with a smile on his face.

Above her head was the unchanging eternal starry sky.

And his deep eyes at the moment looked entranced, which gave her the feeling that they too would remain unchanged. It was as if in this life, he would look at her like this forever.

Huo Wu smiled at Huo Yusen. "Big Brother, Happy New Year's Eve."

"Happy New Year's Eve."

The Kongming lamp drifted further and farther until it was only a speck of light in the sky.

Huo Yusen took out a script from nowhere and handed it to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu took it blankly. She casually glanced at it and saw the name of the script,《The Swan's Dream》.

What's this?

Huo Wu wondered inwardly and also asked out loud.

Huo Yusen put his hand in his pocket and gave her a wee smile. "This is my New Year gift for you. Alright, it's time to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Let's go in now."

This year's Spring Festival Gala seemed to be no different from last year's. But this year was still very different from last year.

Huo Wu remembered that at this time last year, she also posted a family photo in Moments. She didn't want this year to be an exception.

She pulled out her phone and took a picture.

In the photo, she, Huo Yusen, and Gu Wei looked warm and harmonious.

She sent the photos to her Weibo and WeChat Moments, and then accompanied Gu Wei to attentively watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Near midnight, Huo Wu received many New Year calls. One of them was from her agent.

As soon as Huo Wu picked up the phone, she said, "Sister Susan, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Ah Wu."

Huo Wu quickly walked to an empty corner, and then asked softly, "Sister Susan, do you know what 《The Swan's Dream》is about?"

The moment Susan heard that, it dawned on her what Huo Wu was talking about. "You're talking about the New Year's gift that Mr. Huo gave you, right?"

"Yes."

"That is the script that Mr. Huo specially asked someone to create for you. Ah Wu, haven't you always wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actress? This is an excellent opportunity."

Huo Wu was shocked. "Sister Susan..."

"Ah Wu, read the script carefully when you have time, and you will find surprises."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Wu still had yet to regain even the slightest hint of her senses.

Previously, she gave up Fenghua, but now, Huo Yusen just gave her another script,《The Swan's Dream》.

He had never forgotten her dream. With that in mind, she could hardly wait to read the script.

Huo Wu took a look and found that Huo Yusen was also busy answering New Year calls at this time. After dragging the nurse to take care of her mother, she went to another vacant room, dying to read the script.

The script was called The Swan's Dream not only because the heroine was a ballerina but also because of her transformation from an ugly duckling into a white swan.

The plot of The Swan's Dream took place in a contemporary cosmopolitan city. The heroine, Qi Yuanmeng, had loved dancing since she was a child, but her family was poor, and her parents couldn't afford to pay for her lessons to study dance. Thus, she could only hide outside a dance studio and secretly follow the students inside.

The ballet teacher took pity on Qi Yuanmeng and let her study with the other students for free.

Slowly, Qi Yuanmeng showed she had a talent for dance. But then, her mother suddenly had a car accident and completely lost the ability to work. It was also because of this car accident that their already impoverished family became worse, with misfortunes piling up one after the other.

Qi Yuanmeng wanted to pursue her dream, but the conflict between her dream and reality made her confront a harsh test.

On one side was her dream, and on the other was her mother who gave her life. Neither was something she could easily surrender.

In the process of pursuing her dream, she met a lot of kind-hearted people. From the dance teacher who taught her dance for free at the start to an old professor couple who treated her kindly later, and the enthusiastic netizens who donated to her selflessly.
