Chen Lan was a funny "spy". Not only did Xiao Rongyu know her purpose, but even Professor Sun and Bian Shishi knew it. Chen Lan was just helping Chen Hansheng to build a bridge.
However, she did not seem to know it herself. She ate and drank as she pleased. Occasionally, she would even act cute and coquettishly like a high school girl. Xiao Rongyu could not bear to chase her away, so he could only allow Chen Lan to steal information from him.
"Tonight is Christmas Eve."
Chen Lan was bored in the dormitory of Dong University. Although Little Yu'er and her brother had broken up, Chen Lan was still very nice to her. She took out all the snacks and drinks in the dormitory.
Ah Lan stuffed a lollipop into her mouth and walked to the balcony to look in the direction of the Confucius Temple. She wondered how her brother and Little Yu'er were doing there. She heard that there would be fireworks on New Year's Eve.
"I want to see fireworks too."
Chen Lan leaned on the iron railing and stared blankly at the fireworks.
On the other hand, Chen Hansheng, who had gotten the "information" about his sister, put away his phone calmly and continued to accompany Shen Youchu to shop in the Confucius Temple even though he heard that the old lady was going to get even with him.
Since Christmas had already happened, there shouldn't be any more accidents on New Year's Eve. Especially today, Shen Youchu was especially happy. After all, it was rare for Chen Hansheng to accompany her.
The two walked to the front of a cultural relic building. Many young people were lining up to take photos. On such an occasion, there were many young men wearing glasses who were telling their female companions about history.
"This is the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Institute, the largest examination hall in China's history. It's also the place where scholars are selected from the southern region. It's also the reason why Jianye is known as the world's literary center."
He was very enthusiastic. Chen Hansheng and other tourists were also fascinated by his story. The young man's face became more and more proud.
"Let's take a photo too."
Chen Hansheng felt that this moment was very meaningful.
In fact, Shen Youchu would be very shy to raise her head and take photos in front of so many people. However, she wouldn't object to Chen Hansheng's suggestion, so she still followed him silently.
Chen Hansheng didn't want to expose his identity, so he pulled up his scarf to cover his face. He then took out his phone and asked a female university student to help him take a picture. This female student was also a fan of Apple, so she readily agreed to Chen Hansheng's request.
When he stood at the entrance of the Jiangnan Tribute Institution, Chen Hansheng suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. He suddenly remembered that on Christmas Eve, he and Little Yu'er had also taken a bunch of photos like this. In the end, they were immediately in the Asura Battlefield.
How happy she was then was how depressed she was now.
"Sister, raise your head."
However, the female university student had already said that. Chen Hansheng didn't have the nerve to stop her, so he put his arm around Shen Youchu's shoulder and posed.
Shen Youchu was still too shy, especially when there were people coming and going around. She was too embarrassed to face the camera. In the end, under Chen Hansheng's encouragement, Shen Youchu raised her head "bravely," but she didn't look at the camera. Instead, she looked up at Chen Hansheng.
However, even with such a glimpse of her side face, the female university student who took the photo was also very surprised. After she took two photos, she said sincerely, "Sister, you are so beautiful. It would be better if you looked at the camera more."
"Thank you."
Shen Youchu thanked her in a low voice. After the female university student left, Chen Hansheng looked at the photos. The shell phone was almost the peak of the domestic counterfeit phone technology in this era. The photos taken at night were quite clear.
On the corner of the antique examination courtyard, there were piles of snow that hadn't melted yet. Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu stood below.
Chen Hansheng hugged Shen Youchu with one hand and made a "V" with the other. Shen Youchu's perfect side face was shy and charming under the spotlight, but her peach blossom eyes were staring at Chen Hansheng affectionately.
"Not bad."
Chen Hansheng suppressed the bad premonition and grinned. "It's just that you are not good-looking enough. You pull down our average appearance score."
… ….
They continued to stroll. After 10: 30, the flow of people in the Teacher's Temple didn't decrease. Instead, it suddenly increased. There were even more policemen to maintain order. Everyone was waiting for the countdown to 12.
When it was almost midnight, the atmosphere of the whole street became more and more lively. Even dazzling fireworks burst out from a corner from time to time.
In fact, fireworks and firecrackers were banned in Jianye. However, there were still many brave local people who dared to test the law on this festival. There were even people who set up stalls and sold fireworks at a high price.
"Clang, clang, clang ~"
The Temple of Confucius kept up with the trend of the times. On the last ten seconds of December 31, 2005, it also welcomed the arrival of 2006 with the simple act of "striking the bell".
"10, 9, 8, 7 …"
Everyone was counting down. Chen Hansheng put his fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly. Shen Youchu also smiled gently. The two of them held hands tightly.
"Biu, biu, biu …"
The number of fireworks also increased significantly.
"… 3! 2！ 1！ 2006, how are you! "
Finally, 2005 came to an end and 2006 came.
Chen Hansheng received a lot of congratulatory messages on his phone. There were noisy cheers around him. Everyone liked "the beginning of the month" or "the beginning of the year", because it seemed to be able to get rid of bad luck and start afresh.
After the New Year, the crowd in the Teacher's Temple began to disperse in an orderly manner. Of course, many of them didn't go home. 1912 Bar Street was not far away. Of course, they would dance all night to welcome the New Year.
Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu walked to the parking lot. After the car started, Chen Hansheng coughed and said to Shen Youchu, "It's a little late to go home now. I'm worried that I'll wake up grandma and A Ning."
"I can keep my voice down."
Shen Youchu didn't know Chen Hansheng's plan. She even gave a reasonable suggestion.
"Forget it. I'm a loud person. Grandma doesn't have a good sleep. If I wake her up, she won't be able to sleep all night."
At this time, Chen Hansheng suddenly thought of something. He patted his head and pretended to be enlightened.
He took out a hotel room card from his pocket and said, "Let's not go back tonight. There's a hotel nearby that's a business partner of Nutshell. They've given me free lodging. It's a waste not to stay there. Let's just go there tonight."
Of course, this was the room that Chen Hansheng had booked in advance. The reason why he said "stay here for free" was that Chen Hansheng was worried that Shen Youchu would feel distressed if she knew the price of several thousand yuan a night.
Shen Youchu hadn't experienced so many tricks before. Besides, Chen Hansheng was by her side, so she trusted him very much and followed him.
After entering the quiet and luxurious room, Chen Hansheng even acted excitedly. Maybe it was because of the Chinese medicine, or maybe it was because he was thinking about the intimate moment tonight.
"So this is a hotel."
"There's even a TV. It's amazing."
"The carpet is so high-end. Tut-tut, it really scared me."
… ….
However, Shen Youchu didn't suspect anything. She looked at Chen Hansheng very confusedly.
"Hey ~"
Chen Hansheng curled his lips and felt a little bored. He felt that it was a pity that his acting wasn't appreciated. He casually turned on the TV and thought about how to coax Shen Youchu to take a bath.
Shen Youchu was like a little white rabbit. She was completely unaware of the "danger" below. She gently gazed at Chen Hansheng for a while, then took out a sweater from her bag and started knitting.
This sweater was for Chen Hansheng's parents. She was going to give it to them during the Spring Festival.
"Dong ~ Ka ~"
The sound of fireworks could still be heard outside. Chen Hansheng's heart suddenly moved. He thought for a while and stood up and said, "The Sichuan cuisine tonight was too spicy. I didn't eat much. I'm going to go downstairs to buy some supper. Do you want to eat anything?"
"I'm not hungry."
Shen Youchu shook her head.
"Then I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Chen Hansheng went downstairs. The hotel, Confucius Temple, and Eastern University were not far away. There weren't many cars at night. Chen Hansheng was very familiar with the route. He stepped on the accelerator and everything was done.
… ….
At 12: 30 pm, the girls' dormitory of Eastern University was quiet. Xiao Rongyu was reading the files of the transnational lawsuit, Bian Shishi was texting Wang Zibo, and Chen Lan was eating snacks while watching a drama on the computer.
Suddenly, there was a "biu" sound, followed by the sound of fireworks exploding. Chen Lan was the first to react. She threw away her earphones and rushed to the balcony. She saw that there were two firecrackers downstairs that were shooting into the air.
The person who set off the fireworks had disappeared. Not far away, there was only a car driving away with double flashing lights.
"She must be my older brother."
Chen Lan didn't even need to analyze. She judged the "murderer" from the way he did things. She turned to Xiao Rongyu and shouted, "Little Yu'er, come and see. My brother set off fireworks for us to celebrate the New Year. It's so beautiful."
Xiao Rongyu put down the files in her hand and looked out of the balcony. The colorful fireworks were flashing on her oval face.
Bian Shishi went out and saw the fireworks. She shook her head. This was undoubtedly Chen Hansheng. No one else would be so bold.
"He is so considerate. He specially came all the way from Jiangling University to set off fireworks."
Bian Shishi sighed. "But it's useless. A scumbag will always be a scumbag. Do you expect to use this little surprise to save you?"
Xiao Rongyu didn't say anything. She didn't go out to see the fireworks. She lowered her head and read the files again.
Chen Lan blinked her eyes. She knew that Chen Hansheng lived in the Confucius Temple. It wouldn't take him more than a few minutes to drive here at night.
"Why did Sister Shishi exaggerate to show off my brother's hard work?"
"Is she also a tool in disguise?"
"This is too terrifying, isn't it? Has sister-in-law's side been infiltrated so much?"
"Do I need to exchange a secret signal with Sister Shishi? For example, 'Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I am the Yellow River'?"
The mischievous Chen Lan thought for a while before she continued watching the fireworks.
Her brother's fireworks were quite beautiful. It satisfied her wish to see fireworks on the New Year's Eve.
