579 Lunar New Year

Two days before the Lunar New Year, Lu Shu came to Liuhai Lane in the Capital. Afterwards, he stayed there and did not leave…

Lu Shu felt that since Lu Xiaoyu was at military training, there was no way to celebrate the New Year. He had been tricked by Nie Ting as well. He could not enjoy his New Year, and he was not letting Nie Ting enjoy his either…

Yes, Lu Shu felt that he was badly battered because of Nie Ting. Nie Ting knew how Hai Gongzi was, yet all he told Lu Shu was to be patient. He did not say that Hai Gongzi was a five-taloned for visiting.

Lu Shu was unhappy as well. "Then it won't feel like it's the New Year."

Shi Xuejin felt that something was not right. He looked at his watch. "3am?! No one plays with firecrackers at 3am! People usually set them off at 12, midnight. Only you would play with them at 3am! What, does your family only stay up until 3am on New Year's Eve? Don't you wait until the sky lights up?"

"From Shi Xuejin's distress, +999!"

"No worries, I will stay up until morning. I have bought a lot of firecrackers," Lu Shu laughed.

Shi Xuejin thought about it. Something else was not right. "It's two days before the New Year! It's too early to play with firecrackers!"

If one set off firecrackers in the restricted areas during the New Year, they would be fined. But Lu Shu did not believe that anyone would dare to ask Nie Ting to pay a fine.

Shi Xuejin looked on helplessly as he saw Lu Shu take out a box of firecrackers from the Seal of Lands. Just now, he had been playing with firecrackers. Now, he had changed to fireworks…

Shi Xuejin looked at the label on the box of firecrackers… a hundred thousand firecrackers…

Shi Xuejin went back into the house and made a call. "Hello, police? Can you come over? There is someone playing with firecrackers… Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and fine this person. The address is 17 Liuhai Lane. Yes, yes, yes, it's Heavenly King Nie's house. No worries, Heavenly King Nie will support you!"

The leader of the Heavenly Network was forced to make a police report!

Seeing this, Lu Shu kept his firecrackers. Shi Xuejin laughed loudly. "Little guy, are you still scared?"

He did not actually call the police. It would not be good if this blew up. Shi Xuejin only wanted to scare Lu Shu.

Before Shi Xuejin could even finish laughing, Lu Shu sat by the stone table and looked up. He opened his mouth and said, "Bang! Crackle!"

"Bang! Crackle!"

Shi Xuejin was speechless.

Were you a human firecracker?

Were you performing vocal mimicry? What were you doing?! Have you gone mad?

Shi Xuejin was an ordinary person. He could not take these consecutive sleepless nights!

"From Shi Xuejin's distress, +999!"

The next morning, Shi Xuejin had heavy dark eye circles. He looked at Nie Ting. "Hurry up and enroll him into school. Let him go…"

Nie Ting shook his head. "I'm afraid just an admission letter would not be able to solve the problem now…"

The night before the New Year, Shi Xuejin was prepared to call the police if Lu Shu played with firecrackers again. But Lu Shu was nowhere to be found.

"Where did Lu Shu go?" Shi Xuejin asked curiously.

"Babaoshan Cemetery," Nie Ting said calmly. "This is probably his main aim coming to the Capital."

Lu Shu stood before Liu Xiu's grave. He gently placed a bowl of Zha Jiang Mian in front of the grave. "My friend, you must be lonely spending the New Year here. I have brought a bowl of Zha Jiang Mian. Thank you for bravely stepping forward then. If it were not for you, I may have been the one in this grave, not you."

Lu Shu sat by the stairway and chattered on. "I have visited your younger cousins' family. After you were gone, I told your younger cousin that I would be his elder cousin from then on. But it doesn't seem like he is grateful…"

"Brother, if you have no more worries, hurry up and be reincarnated. If we really become comrades in our next life, we can see our flourishing country and eat Zha Jiang Mian together. Give me a wink when that time comes. If not, I am afraid that I will not recognize you…"an aquatic dragon in Chinese mythologya Chinese dish consisting of thick wheat noodles topped with zhajiang sauce
