Soon, 12 days had passed. Lin Huang had brought Lin Xin to three wild zones. Her battle skills and adaptability to the environment had improved tremendously in less than half a month.
Lin Huang had not been idling for the past 10 days. His sword skill that used Thunder Sting as its core was starting to take shape. Lin Huang had named it Thunder Eclipse. The attack speed and power of the sword was more than 10 times that of Thunder Sting.
"Brother, where's our next destination?" Lin Xin, who was covered in dirt, smiled at Lin Huang, revealing her canine teeth. Not only did she not feel bitter these days, she even found the joy of hunting.
"Of course, we're going back to Winter City. It's Chinese New Year in three days. Let's get some rest." Lin Huang reached out to remove a few pieces of dried leaves from Lin Xin's hair. "You should take a shower when we get back."
"It's Chinese New Year in three days. Why don't we go somewhere else?" Lin Xin seemed like she had not had enough. "Two more days of hunting and one more day for Chinese New Year?"
"We still have to buy Chinese New Year's goods and prepare before Chinese New Year. We can't do it in one day. Even if we can, we don't have enough time. " Lin Huang shook his head and rejected Lin Xin's suggestion. "Let's go back earlier. We'll shop for Chinese New Year's goods for two days and rest for a day. We have plenty of time."
"Alright then …" Lin Xin had to admit that Lin Huang's schedule was more reasonable. She nodded in agreement.
After stepping through the dimensional relic, both of them arrived at their home in Winter City.
The temperature in Winter City was obviously much lower than the wild zone that they had been staying in for the past few days. The temperature displayed on their Emperor's Heart Ring was -15 degrees Celsius. Lin Huang did not feel anything but Lin Xin shuddered as soon as she arrived.
Lin Huang took out a jacket and draped it over Lin Xin. He then turned on the fireplace on the first floor and lit up the black rocks inside.
"You can roast here for a while. I'll see if there's hot water." Lin Huang headed straight for the bathroom. It had been half a year since they left Winter City, and the air quality here was much better than on Earth. Although there was not much dust in the house, the air was still stuffy, and he did not know if some of the facilities were working.
He turned on the magic crystal water heater and let the water cool down for a while. When the water was finally hot, Lin Huang plugged the bathtub and began to turn on the water.
"There's hot water. You can take a shower after the water is ready. I'll open the window for some fresh air. I'll turn on the heater later." Lin Huang's apartment had a central heating system. As long as the valve of the radiator was turned on, it would automatically heat up.
Lin Xin nodded and stared blankly at the red fire.
Lin Huang had just opened the windows on the first floor and was about to go to the second floor when Lin Xin suddenly asked, "Brother, where do you think Xiaoxuan is now?"
Lin Huang was stunned to hear that and stood still on the stairs. He remembered that Lin Xuan was there at this time last year. The three of them had celebrated the New Year together. Lin Xuan used to like to sit on the carpet by the fireplace and stare blankly at the fire.
"He should be doing well. Don't worry about him." Lin Huang forced a smile. He knew that this sentence was not only to comfort Lin Xin, but also to comfort himself.
Lin Xin was silent for a moment. She turned to look at Lin Huang and asked, "Will he miss us?"
"Of course he will. We're family!" Lin Huang did not doubt this. "Alright, go take a shower!"
"Okay." Lin Xin seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer. She then nodded and stood up to head for the bathroom.
Lin Huang then went upstairs and opened the windows on the second and third floors for ventilation.
The balcony on the second floor was covered with a layer of snow that was close to 20 centimeters thick. Although it was a sunny day, the snow had not melted in Winter City's current temperature.
Lin Huang opened the sliding door on the second floor and looked into the distance as he stepped on the snow. He had stood here last year to watch Lin Xin and Lin Xuan play in the snow.
"Xiaoxuan, where have you been …"
After ventilating the house for about ten minutes, Lin Huang closed the windows and turned on the heater. He then took a shower in the bathroom on the second floor.
When he went downstairs, Lin Xin had already changed and was sitting on the carpet by the fireplace. Her hair was still wet.
Lin Huang went straight to the kitchen and opened the fridge. After throwing away all the expired items, there were only a few things left in the fridge.
"There's nothing to eat at home. Let's go out for lunch and shop for the New Year after that. But before that, let's do a thorough cleaning of the house. After all, it's been more than half a year. "Lin Huang purposely gave Lin Xin something to do so that she would not let her imagination run wild.
"Okay!" Lin Xin snapped out of her daze.
It took them more than an hour to clean up the third floor. It was almost noon when they changed their clothes and left.
She felt a little better when she opened the door and saw the white scenery outside the house.
"The snow is so thick!" They were teleported to the living room on the first floor. Lin Xin had not paid attention to what was outside when she was in the house.
"The winter in Winter City is longer. It usually starts snowing in October, and the snow will only melt in April of the following year," Lin Huang explained with a smile. "It snowed a few times in Winter City during the few months we were away."
Lin Xin took a few selfies and posted them on a social media tool called WeChat. Many of her classmates liked it immediately. Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring had this social media tool as well, but he did not use it often.
The two of them found a restaurant and had lunch before they started to shop. She was not sure if it was because of the shopping or the snowy scenery, but she was in a much better mood.
Both of them shopped until six o 'clock in the evening. They only managed to buy a few Lunar New Year goodies. They spent most of their time shopping for clothes and shoes with Lin Xin … After dinner, they shopped until 10 o' clock at night before returning home.
Lin Huang felt helpless when they got home. "It seems like we'll have to continue shopping tomorrow …"
A few days before the New Year, Lin Huang was much more relaxed than usual while Lin Xin returned to her shopaholic nature. She was even influenced by her dorm mates and started researching cosmetics.
Lin Huang finally managed to buy all the New Year's items and decorated his house on the day before the New Year. His house was finally filled with a festive atmosphere.
On the night of the New Year, Lin Huang sent a message to his friends. Apart from Mr. Fu, all of them replied. Mr. Fu seemed to be busy. Lin Huang thought about it and decided not to disturb him.
On the first day of the New Year, it started snowing in Winter City.
Lin Xin was excited when she woke up early in the morning. She ran downstairs in her slippers and started opening presents.
Lin Huang sat on the couch and watched the news quietly. The news was about New Year's greetings and there was nothing new on the Hunter Forum. Lin Huang realized the importance of having access to information.
"Brother, this is for you!" Lin Xin suddenly passed a gift box to him.
"You bought it for me?" Lin Huang was stunned. There was a box wrapped in golden paper in Lin Xin's hand. The box was not big, so he took it with a smile.
Just when he was about to open it, he saw a blue box on the coffee table. He shook his head and smiled. "One gift is enough. Why did you buy two?"
"This is for Xiao Xuan." Lin Xin smiled and said, "I also left half of the stuff that Brother bought for me. If he comes back one day, we can give these gifts to him. "
Lin Huang was silent for a moment. He patted Lin Xin's head and said, "Alright, Xiao Xuan's gifts are for him!"
"Brother, hurry up!" Lin Xin urged Lin Huang to open the gifts.
Lin Huang opened the package quickly. There was a black knitted scarf inside. It looked ordinary and didn't even have a pattern. However, Lin Huang didn't have any requirements for Lin Xin's gifts. It was fine as long as the thought was there.
"What do you think? Do you like it?" Lin Xin asked expectantly.
"I like it!"
"I knit it myself!" Lin Xin said proudly.
"You knit it? Since when did you have such skills? "Lin Huang finally understood why the scarf looked so ordinary.
"I learned it from a sister in the dorm. I knit it every night when I have time. I've knit two in the past few months. One is for Brother and the other is for Xiao Xuan. But his is white, "Lin Xin explained.
