Chapter 1012 – New Year and Leaving
Shao Pingge looked at Lin Qiye in a daze for a long time, a smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth as he looked behind Lin Qiye.
”They, they didn’t follow me, did they?”
”I didn’t tell them.”
”That’s good.”
Shao Pingge relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, “The last reunion year, if it’s because I left that I ruined the atmosphere, then my sin would be great.”
Shao Pingge listened to the laughter coming from behind the door, and a gentle color flowed from his eyes.
”You can’t leave after the New Year?” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but ask.
”I’m going to the frontline so that everyone in Da Xia can have a carefree New Year.” Shao Pingge smiled as he turned around and walked towards the distance, his footsteps a little lighter than before.
He waved his hand and said:
”The next time we meet, it should be at the frontline, anyway, thank you for your blessings, Seven Nights.
Happy New Year.”
Seeing Shao Pingge leave, Lin Qiye sighed and turned around to return to the compound.
”Seven Nights, where have you been?” Baili Chubby placed a plate of braised fish heads on the table and rubbed his palms together as he looked towards Lin Qiye who was walking back in the distance.
”Nothing, sending a friend.”
”Friend?” Baili Chubby thought about it and didn’t ask much.
”Right, where’s Lu Baoyu? How come I didn’t see him?”
”Just bandaged his wounds and he left on his own, he shouldn’t be used to the atmosphere here.”
”Oh ……”
”Seven Nights, call them all up, it’s time for our New Year’s Eve dinner.”
”Good.”
In the midst of laughter, the crowd took their seats, Chen Han sat close to Lin Qiye on the side and couldn’t help but gulp as he looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table.
It had been a long time since he had eaten such a sumptuous meal.
Next to him, there was Baili Chubby who was cheekily giving Rolexes as New Year’s gifts to the members of Team 006 one by one, Cao Yuan who was silently knocking on melons, Jiang Er who was floating in the air and talking and laughing with the female members of Team 006, as well as Shen Qingzhu who was holding a can of beer and swallowing it down with a gulp.
An Qingyu was squatting in the center of the courtyard, seriously fiddling with a black iron box, not knowing what it was.
On the opposite side of the table is the lively and laughing 006 squad.
Li Zhenzhen was holding the white cat Fang Mo, absentmindedly glancing at the vacant seat in the very center, and a worried look surfaced in her eyes.
”Zhen Zhen, don’t worry, Captain Shao should be back soon.” Zhang Zhengting patted her shoulder, “Come, eat the food!”
Clang – clang – clang!
The New Year’s bell rang out, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked sideways at the direction the bell came from.
An Qingyu raised her eyebrows and gently tapped the iron box in her hand, and with a sharp whistling sound, a dozen fireworks flew up into the sky from the box at the same time and disappeared under the dark night.
Boom–!!!
A shocking popping sound rang out, and the brilliant seven-colored fireworks, like a flying meteor firestorm, rapidly unfolded towards the surroundings, covering the entire sky of Shangjing City in a matter of breaths.
In an instant, the night sky was illuminated as a whole, as magnificent and splendid as a dream.
”Crap! This is fucking fireworks?” Lu Hu’s eyes widened, “This …… If this is released to the ground, it can blow up Shangjing, right?”
”Don’t care about these details.”
Yuan Gang held his wine cup and stood up from the table, sweeping over the crowd with a smile on his face and raising the wine cup in his hand:
”To the new year, cheers!”
”Cheers!”
Splendid fireworks bloomed in the air.
The seven-colored light and shadows were interlaced and projected under the bridge hole in the outskirts of Shangjing City, the little beggar hugged her legs wrapped in a tattered blanket and looked at the magnificent fireworks above her head, the pupils of her eyes were filled with infatuation.
Then, her eyes fell on the weeds and wasteland in front of the bridge, only to see a figure wrapped in bandages, staggering steps, slowly walking under the light of the fireworks.
It was a one-eyed black-haired teenager.
The little beggar’s eyes lit up.
She flew up from the ground and looked at Lu Baoyu, who walked into the bridge hole and slowly leaned and sat down by the opposite wall, and couldn’t help but speak:
”I thought that you wouldn’t come back.”
”I said that I would come back for dinner today.” Lu Baoyu faintly opened his mouth.
The little beggar’s gaze fell on the blood-stained bandages on his body, and his lips pursed slightly.
”The injuries on your body ……”
”Small injuries only.” Lu Baoyu touched his hungry stomach, silent for a moment, “Bubble noodles, bought?”
”Bought!”
The little beggar took out two boxes of instant noodles from under the blanket of the bridge hole, like holding a treasure, gently placed it on the ground by the bonfire.
Above the throbbing campfire, there is a discarded old cadre tea jar, a pot of hot water is gurgling with bubbles, the little beggar wrapped his fingers in the blanket, carefully removed it and poured it into the bubble noodles.
Lu Baoyu sat by the wall, quietly watching the scene.
After a few minutes, the aroma of the bubble noodles spreads under the bridge hole, Lu Baoyu gulps, and is about to reach out for his own box of bubble noodles, when the little beggar suddenly opens his mouth:
”Wait!”
”Huh?”
Lu Bao柚 puzzled to look at her, only to see the little beggar ran all the way back under the blanket, carefully took out a ham sausage with packaging, smiling brightly walked to the front of Lu Bao柚.
She forcefully broke the ham sausage into two, one large and one small.
She took the large piece of ham and handed it to Lu Baoyu.
”Here, it’s for you.”
”I don’t remember asking you to buy ham and sausage.”
”I bought it with my own money!”
Lu Baoyu took the ham sausage and hesitated for a moment, “You bought this yourself, why did you give me the big one?”
”You protect me, I take care of you, isn’t it fair?”
The little beggar smiled faintly, under the brilliant fireworks, those eyes shone like stars, she raised the bubble noodles in her hand and gently touched it with the one in Lu Baoyu’s hand:
”Happy New Year, my hero.”
Lu Baoyu froze in place.
New Year’s Eve had passed, and a brand new year had come.
While the vast majority of people were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, the busy recruits had already begun to pack their bags, preparing to return to the intensive training camp.
”Fang Mo, have you finished collecting your things?”
”Well, almost done, let’s go.”
Fang Mo, who had already transformed back into his human form, carried a tactical bag on his back and a black box, stepped out from the quadrangle’s compartment and walked towards the door with Li Zhenzhen.
”I’m leaving! In seven more days, I should be back!” As Li Zhenzhen walked, she turned back and waved at the people of Team 006.
Zhang Zhengting and the others waved goodbye with smiles.
”Tsk, why do I suddenly have the feeling that my own daughter has been abducted by someone else?” Lu Hu, who was on the side, muttered in a small voice, “I see that cat boy, is getting more and more unpleasant ……”
”I’ll reconsider.” Zhang Zhengting silently raised his hand.
Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen had just stepped out of the door of the courtyard when they froze in place.
Next to the snow-filled door sat a figure they wouldn’t have expected anyway.
”Lu Baoyu? Why are you here? Why don’t you go in when you’re here?” Li Zhenzhen opened her mouth in surprise.
Lu Baoyu looked up at them, stood up in silence, and after agonizing for a moment, he still clenched his teeth and stretched out his hand to the two ……
”Borrow …… lend me some money.”
