Chapter 60 New Year
It is difficult for Ouyang Xiaoler to integrate into the noisy atmosphere of other boys. Because he is tall, he was sent by Liu Lingmei to hang flowers, while Liu Lingmei herself stood on the table and pasted the window. Unlike other classes who bought it directly, most of these window flowers were cut by herself overnight. Maybe because she stayed up late, she always felt a little dizzy.
Xia Qiu saw her tired face and advised, "You don't look well. Go and have a rest for a while!"
Liu Lingmei insisted, "I'm fine. Xiaoqiu, go and write blackboard. Don't worry about me!"
Xia Qiu couldn't resist her. She was sent to the front of the classroom to write on the blackboard, but she was still worried. She looked back at her situation from time to time. Suddenly, the moment she turned around, her eyes were in a trance, and the noisy voice of the boys in the air suddenly paused. When her eyes turned to the direction of Liu Lingmei, she saw that she was on tiptoe against the top window flower, and then slipped and fell off the table.
Xia Qiu, who witnessed this scene, was about to exclaim for help, but she couldn't make a sound. She threw the chalk in her hand and raised her feet to run in the direction of Liu Lingmei, but she was suddenly pulled back by something. When she came to her senses, she found that Liu Lingmei was still standing on the table and had just stood on tiptoe to paste the tallest window flower.
Everything was the same as what she had just seen. She foresaw that she had just entered the state of soul separation again, and it was likely that she had predicted what was about to happen, so she quickly ran in her direction. Sure enough, as soon as she ran to her side, it was the moment when she slipped and was about to fall. If she hadn't held her in time, she would have fallen off the table.
"I was scared to death. I thought I would definitely fall down." Liu Lingmei gasped, and her eyes were full of tears because she was frightened.
"It's okay!" Xia Qiu held her hand and found that her hand was cold. Looking at her safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoqiu, what would I do without you?" Liu Lingmei choked.
"Are you all right?" Du He and other people in the classroom also gathered around.
"Don't make any more noise. Lingmei seems to be a little dizzy. Let's help her sit down and rest for a while!" Xia Qiu said to Du He.
"Well, good!" Du He nodded to those boys in a row.
"Look, they still listen to you, especially him!" Liu Lingmei recovered a little and pouted and pointed to Du He.
"He doesn't listen to you, and there's me!" Dong Haofan handed over a cup of hot water and said.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry!" Du He's comfort made the boys next to him laugh.
On the 31st, I spent the whole day busy in the get-together. Xia Qiu sang an English song as previously agreed with Liu Lingmei. After having dinner with his grandparents in the evening, he began to prepare for the New Year's celebration of the demon world. Qianqi also rushed back to Wangcheng at noon that day. He and Ouyang Xiao Leng came to the big tree in front of Xia Qiu's house and waited to pick her up to the demon world.
The demon king city has also been decorated before New Year's Eve. The shops on the shopping street are rarely opened. The whole royal city is more lively than the new king's accession ceremony, and it looks like a dream against the orange lights all over the street. The people who shuttled to and from the street blocked the shopping street, and Xia Qiu could just walk around the small shops and stalls slowly.
Little Snow Rabbit has made an appointment with Ouyang Xiao Leng to meet them in the mask store. During this period, she has been locked at home by her mother Miao Xueyou. Fortunately, her Uncle Wangyue said good words to Miao Xueyou for a long time, so she was allowed to come out on New Year's Eve. She hung a fox face mask she had just bought obliquely over her head, her mouth was full of all kinds of snacks bought on the street, and her pocket was also full of a lot of novel things she had found all the way. When she saw them, she jumped with joy.
Qianqi has been introducing all kinds of things he thinks are delicious to Xia Qiu, but in her opinion, some things are really difficult to swallow, such as the pocket water ghost in the barbecue stall. Although this kind of little demon is only the size of a palm, it looks very similar to that of people. No matter how Qianqi has tried all kinds of ways to explain the taste of this thing to her. How delicious it is, she won't take a bite. She only dares to eat something similar to octopus, twelve pieces per serving. It looks like a ball on the outside, but each filling inside is different. Some taste like delicious fish, some are sweet roses, some are wine, some are spicy, and some are even she can't tell. Taste.
When he walked to the soju stall, just as the previous guest sitting on the front bench had left, Qianqi pulled Xia Qiu and the others in. He sat on the far left, Xia Qiu sat on his right, Ouyang Xiao Leng sat on the other side of Xia Qiu, and Snow Rabbit sat on the far right. As soon as they sat down and didn't open their mouth, the horse-faced monster inside put four cups in front of them, picked up a long-mouthed wine pot from the hot sink behind, and filled each cup with demon wine. The hot demon wine smelled with the aroma of flowers, and each cup was floated with osmanthus petals.
"Can minors also drink here?" Xia Qiu hesitated and asked.
"It doesn't matter. I can even drink it. I will be an adult at the age of twelve in the demon world!" The snow rabbit smiled at her and replied.
"Let's sit here for a while and go to the observation platform on the top of the mountain to see the fireworks when it's almost twelve o'clock." Qianqi suggested that he hadn't drunk too much hot soju for a long time. Today is the New Year and it happens to be reunited with Xia Qiu. I really want to drink a little.
"Why do I think you look like a person?" The snow rabbit spit out his tongue and said.
"Like who?" Qianqi asked curiously.
Xia Qiu had guessed that the little snow rabbit was talking about looking at the moon, so he looked at her and smiled at her. Ouyang Xiao Leng also seemed to have guessed and turned his eyes aside. Qianqi was even more anxious when he saw that everyone except him knew who the snow rabbit was talking about.
"Ter, tell me, who do you look like? Who is as handsome as me? Qianqi asked.
Hearing what he said, Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit smiled more happily, and Snow Rabbit even laughed a little.
"Like the big rabbit who gets drunk every day." The snow rabbit said.
"I'm not like that old alcoholic!" Qianqi tilted his mouth and said, and then raised the cup in front of him and drank it all.
Ouyang Xiao Leng also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Still without words, the horse-faced monster inside filled the empty cup again.
Xia Qiu tasted a mouthful of soju. It was really sweet and warm. It was soft and mellow in the mouth. It would not be spicy to the throat. However, as soon as the wine entered the stomach, you could feel that its degree was not low. After drinking a cup, the whole body warmed up from the inside out. As soon as she put down the empty glass, the horse-faced monster filled it for her.
"Whenever you don't want to drink, turn the cup upside down and buckle it on the table, and the boss will take it away." Ouyang Xiao Leng reminded her.
"How do you know how much money to give him?" Xia Qiu is a little curious about this question.
"Look at your cup carefully." Ouyang Xiao Leng said.
Xia Qiu looked carefully at the cup in his hand and found that there was a fine seal engraved demon text on the white cup, which should represent numbers. Now the second symbol on the cup is red. It should be that the symbol on it will light up one by one with the number of cups to drink, which is amazing. Xia Qiu tried to drink another cup, and then let the horse-faced monster fill himself up. Sure enough, the second demon text darkened, and the third one lit up.
When everyone didn't pay much attention, Snow Rabbit had already drunk three cups of demon wine in a row. As soon as the wine came up, she began to get excited and sang loudly, which made Ouyang Xiao Leng sitting next to her a little helpless.
"Hey, I can't give her any more to drink." The horse-faced monster was about to pour wine for the snow rabbit again. Ouyang Xiao Leng stretched out his hand and buckled the snow rabbit's glass as he said.
"I still want to drink!" Xue Tu shouted to grab his cup, but unexpectedly fell on Ouyang Xiao Leng's body.
"It seems that we have to send her back first."
Ouyang Xiao Leng was just about to get up, but he saw Wang Yue coming from afar. He had long been thinking about coming to drink a few cups of hot demon wine. He followed the fragrance of soju and walked here, but saw Ouyang Xiao Leng and others. Looking at the snow rabbit lying on Xiao Leng's body, he had drunk too much.
"Give her to me. I'll send her back. You can continue to play!" Wang Yue had to suppress her alcohol addiction first, said to Ouyang Xiao Leng, and then prepared to hug the snow rabbit.
"Teacher Wangyue."
Xia Qiu knew that Wang Yue liked drinking the most. Since she didn't drink wine when she came here, she must have ruined his pleasure, so she handed him her wine glass, which was just filled with warm soju. Wang Yue smiled, reached out and took a drink, and then returned the cup to Xia Qiu. Everyone saw his tall figure disappear in the crowd with a small snow rabbit on his back.
Wangyue has always loved the snow rabbit the most. If it is just because his brother listens to the moon, as long as he is with her, his image will change 180 degrees. The snow rabbit is like an oasis in his wandering life, which makes him unable to cherish it.
Wang Yue carried the snow rabbit all the way back to the Wutongju. He deliberately walked slowly and steadily for fear that the bumps would disturb the beautiful dream of the girl behind him. When he was about to enter the gate of Wutongju, he met a man in a black cloak coming out of it. The man's whole face was hidden in the cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes. As he passed by, he faintly saw the chill revealed in the all-white pupils. The breath emitted by the man was not familiar to him. He wondered who would look for Miao Xueyou at this time? Based on his knowledge of her, she has rarely interacted with her since her brother's death.
When he walked into the hall, Miao Xueyou was sitting on a rattan chair drinking tea. She looked extremely calm. She found that the snow rabbit behind Wangyue's back was full of alcohol. Before Wangyue asked who the person who had just walked out was, she blamed him instead.
"Why did you let her drink? Still drunk like this!"
"Everyone was very happy on New Year's Eve, so I allowed her to drink a few drinks. I didn't expect her to get drunk so easily." Wang Yue quickly took the responsibility of Snow Rabbit's drunkenness on herself.
"I happened to have just sent away an old friend of mine. Help me carry her back to my room. I'm ready to rest, too."
Wang Yue saw that Miao Xueyou did not continue to investigate, and also took the initiative to mention that the person who just went out was her old friend. Although there were still some doubts in her heart, she did not ask more questions. He helped settle the snow rabbit and left.
After walking out of Wutongju, he did not return to the shopping street, but directly returned to the residence in the Chenji Palace. He remembered that after Ouyang Hongye sent troops to destroy the remaining bereavement ghosts in Southern Zhejiang City, in addition to moving the gold back to Wangcheng, he also moved back all the wine for him as agreed at the beginning, which was stored in Ouyang Yong's wine cellar, just right. Take advantage of the New Year's Eve to have a few drinks with Ouyang Hongye. During this period, Hongye has been busy with big and small affairs in Chenji Palace all day long, and the two have not drunk and chatted for a long time.
Qianqi, after drinking, became more and more talkative. He kept asking about what happened to them at school during this period. Ouyang Xiaolang answered him one after another, showing impatient expression from time to time. And this time Xia Qiu looked at them quietly. She couldn't remember how many glasses of demon wine she had drunk, and her mouth was full of the fragrance of wine and osmanthus. Fortunately, although she was a little drunk, she was still sober.
Near twelve o'clock, the crowd began to gather to the observation platform. Ouyang Xiao Leng finally waited for the opportunity to get rid of the 100,000 reasons of Qianqi. He left a small amount of gold for the horse-faced monster and pulled Xia Qiu to the mountain. Qianqi was not willing to show weakness to catch up with Xia Qiu's other hand, and then the wine was a little strong. He looked at Ouyang Xiao Leng with some provocativeness. When they arrived at the observation platform, many people had gathered. Ouyang Hongye had already arranged for the bodyguards in the palace to occupy a good position for several teenagers. When the bodyguards saw their arrival, they came to the back of the railing.
The purple and blank lotus is the same as before. Coupled with the embellishment of various lanterns hanging on the street, the beauty makes people reluctant to blink. The beautiful scenery and the noise of the crowd always make Xia Qiu feel that they are about to leave. The big bell on the observation platform was rang. After the slow twelve bells, the first salute rang. When the fireworks rose into the air, she pulled her thoughts back.
The huge fireworks blooming in the sky are so beautiful. Everyone held their breath. Those fireworks are not the same as those in the world. Many of them are injected with demons, which can change all kinds of fantastic postures. There are golden fireworks with huge tails like phoenixes cutting through the sky, and the fireworks of blue butterflies drifting. Flying, there are fiery red goldfish fireworks and disappear after gently swinging their tails. There are colorful peacocks opening their screens to the fireworks of flowers. There are beautiful fireworks with a smile, and there are huge ball-shaped fireworks scattered in all directions. Xia Qiu felt that the wine on her body was taken away by them in an instant, and only stared at those beautiful The fireworks are fascinating.
"Happy New Year!" Xia Qiu turned his face and said to Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qian Qi.
"Ah, Happy New Year!" Qianqi responded with a smile.
"Well, Happy New Year!" Ouyang Xiaon nodded thoughtfully, and the fireworks still reflected light in his deep gray-blue eyes.
In his eyes, Xia Qiu saw a lot of complex emotions. She looked at him carefully and felt that he was a little more mature than when he met last year. The beautiful young man like an ice sculpture became a demon king fox overnight. As the king of the world, he shouldered the life of the world. Luck, and the world is closely connected with her own world.
The distance between the two worlds is the same as the distance between him and her at this moment. Born in different spaces, they are connected by the line of fate and are destined to walk side by side. He unconsciously reached out his hand in her direction, and the moment he touched her between his fingers, he clung his fingers tightly to her. At this moment, it may be the stronger heart between each other that blooms with the fireworks. How much she wants to stand beside him all the time. In the coming year, in the coming year... she can accompany him to watch the fireworks gorgeous fireworks until the end of time.
