Chapter 228 Happy New Year’s Day

Today is the last day. After midnight, it will be a new year. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and the next day is New Year’s Day.

In Lingshi's previous life, he would always go back to his hometown every Chinese New Year, because the New Year is about reunion, even though he still couldn't recognize all of his relatives in his hometown.

When they were younger, Lingshi's family would even stay in their hometown for two days. Even if there was no room, they would sleep on the bed in one room with other cousins ​​who came back with them.

When I grew up, I went back home less often. Even during the Chinese New Year, I would not go back. Only my family members would go back for half a day.

In this life, Lingshi had no hometown to return to. Looking at Huang Quan who was packing up, he turned over and lay on the sofa to look at him.

Huang Quan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Lingshi, so he turned around and threw the pillow in his hand at Lingshi's face.

"What are you looking at? Come here if you need help!"

After semi-retirement, Huang Quan has regained some of his former self. He no longer needs to act like an elite in front of others. He is the exclusive Huang Quan in front of Ling Shi.

Lingshi caught the fallen pillow, hugged it and asked:

"It's Chinese New Year. Where are we going this time?"

Huang Quan thought about it and thought, celebrating the New Year? They had celebrated it in Neon in the past few years. Now that Ling Cheng had taken over most of their work, there was no need for the two of them to stay here.

and……

It seems that it is time to shift the focus back. Even if I get used to living here, home is still the best. I have also talked about retiring and living there for the rest of my life several times.

Although his wish was fiercely rejected, the guy who was less than fifty years old was talking about retirement and joking. The eighteen-year-old Ling Cheng retorted without any hesitation.

After dealing with the organization, as Lingshi said, Ling Cheng directly dropped out of Mihua Primary School and deleted his information without leaving any trace.

Ling Cheng then went directly to study abroad to obtain two degree certificates. Although he said so, this clever young master had already made it a nominal title for himself.

You don't need to attend classes, just come during exams, and then you can join the zero-hour team with confidence.

Now he has become the second in command, and he is only one step away from usurping the throne from Lingshi and Huangquan. It's a pity that Ling Cheng still cannot beat Lingshi in the competition.

As I was reminiscing about the past, an explosion was heard outside, and the curtains were illuminated. When I opened them at midnight, I saw the fireworks welcoming the New Year.

Zero Hour: "It's pretty, but a little noisy."

"happy New Year."

"Well, Happy New Year."

Huang Quan walked over and stood next to Lingshi to watch this scene together. Fireworks, he suddenly remembered the past.

Let's get back to the point. Huang Quan came up with an idea and suggested:

"Then do you want to go back for the New Year?"

Lingshi looked up and thought, where to go back? This question seemed unnecessary to ask. Suddenly, a place came to his mind.

Zero Hour: "Do you want to go back?"

Huang Quan nodded, got up immediately at Lingshi, called the contact to clean up the old house, booked a ticket and prepared to leave.

Huang Quan: "Remember to book for tomorrow. I haven't packed my luggage yet."

Ling Shi: "I know, just leave it to me."

How efficient was Zero Hour's action? The system, still half asleep the next day, grabbed a handful of things and stuffed them into its pocket. When it reacted and peeked into the pocket, it was immediately perked up by the cold wind.

System: Who am I? Where am I? It’s so cold!

Lingshi was already dragging two suitcases and a dog, and said to Huang Quan who was doing the final check,

"I'm fine here, is yours okay?"

Huang Quan walked over and nodded to indicate that it was okay, then picked up a scarf from the shelf and put it on Lingshi, who had something in both hands, and then put it on himself.

System: Host, this is too early, and you haven’t told the others yet. Will they have made a wasted trip?

Midnight: It doesn’t matter, I’ll post an update when I get to the airport.

The system was confused and was manually stuffed back into the space at zero o'clock. It was only after boarding the plane that it was caught and fed a piece of jelly.

Poor Yaye can only go through the pet channel and stay in the cage all the way, but it doesn’t matter, we will compensate it at midnight after getting off the plane and feed it in advance.

When I was in transit, I couldn't get a standby ticket, so I had to use some of my super powers and money at the last minute.

In short, they finally got home that night. Although it was late at night, they felt that this was the right thing to do the moment they got home.

The house was cleaned very well, and New Year decorations and sweets and snacks were placed there at last minute's request.

There was also a large bag of fireworks and firecrackers placed next to the entrance. The number was touching. Huang Quan reached out and knocked on Lingshi's head.

"Why buy so much? The children are not here."

Ling Shi felt guilty for a moment, but he was used to it. After all, during the previous Chinese New Year, the members of the Junior Detective League and Mao Lilan would come to play, and they would go out together to play with fireworks and firecrackers.

"Hey—I thought you bought it for me."

A voice came from behind. Lingshi held his forehead and turned back to look. Well, his world of two people ended before it even began.

Ling Cheng crossed his arms and looked at the two men. He turned his head at zero o'clock and revealed an expression that said, "Where did you come from again, kid?"

Ling Cheng: "Huh, I don't know which two irresponsible guardians are these. I was thinking of going home for the New Year's Day celebration, but my house is locked and no one is there!"

"Fortunately, I have a way. I just chased after you. I guess I caught up with you."

Ling Shi was speechless. Although he knew that he would follow them, he wouldn't just chase after them.

Lingshi: "You weren't that clingy when you were little, Ling Cheng. What's wrong with letting your two dads have some time alone?"

Ling Cheng: "Why is that? Huang Quan's father would definitely prefer a complete family, right? How can he leave me out?!"

Zero Hour: "Grown up kid, find a partner for me, don't be obsessed with other people's partners all day long."

Ling Cheng: "Now that you're a father, can you please stop abandoning your child? Stop thinking about your own world. We as a family of three need to live a good life!"

An adult and a child started fighting at the door. Huang Quan had no choice but to walk into the house alone. After checking the kitchen hygiene and whether there was enough food in the refrigerator, he stopped the two of them.

"Zero o'clock, come back and cook!"

"Hey, here I come!"

Ling Shi responded, stopped arguing with Ling Cheng, left the suitcase at the entrance and walked in first.

"Please put these back in the room. I'll go cook."

Ling Cheng: "You old man, you won't starve to death even if you put the box down first!"

Lingshi waved his hands and pretended not to hear, leaving Lingcheng to stomp his feet and be treated like a waiter by Lingshi.

The items in the refrigerator were indeed complete, and Huang Quan simply took out the things he needed, washed his hands, and took them out to deal with them.

Ling Cheng was cooking in the kitchen at midnight. He put away the three suitcases and came out to see Huang Quan and Tongzi in the living room, holding firecrackers.

Huang Quan: "Do you want to release it? There are no neighbors nearby anyway."

Tongzi agreed with both hands excitedly and immediately pounced on Ling Cheng. After all, Huang Quan wanted Ling Cheng to do something, and it was similar in previous years. It wanted to take a closer look!

Ling Cheng caught Tongzi, then took the firecrackers out and found a place to hang them up. At some point, Lingshi came out of the kitchen and stood at the door with Huang Quan, watching.

Ling Cheng lit the fuse and ran back. The young man bumped directly into Ling Shi, and it was not known whether it was intentional.

Lingshi supported him. When Ling Cheng turned around and covered his ears, he heard a crackling sound, which was so loud even when he covered his ears.

The firecrackers crackled as if they were going to blow up the world, but when they were over, everything became as quiet as it was at the beginning.

Midnight: "Happy New Year."

Huang Quan: "Happy New Year."

Lingshi reached out and patted Lingcheng on the head. Lingcheng did not resist. Anyway, it was probably like that. He reached out to touch it, and sure enough, there were two red envelopes in Lingshi's hand.

Ling Cheng: "New Year's Day red envelope, why don't you change the style?"

Lingshi: "It's good enough for you. It's not even the Spring Festival yet."

Ling Cheng: "Short of it!"
