Fireworks are fleeting.

Wang Qian and Li Kun used the scholarship they had won to buy a lot of fireworks, but they were still not enough, so they put them down one after another.

The fireworks are beautiful, the yuan is burning, and no amount of money is enough.

And they use the light of the headlights of the car as lighting, if the lights are left on all the time, the battery may run out of power, and it will not catch fire.

"No, no, no, this is gone?" the snow lion picked up the plastic bag containing the fireworks in disappointment, "The old lady said that the stingy poor ghost man is unreliable!"

"π! It's all your fault! We all put one at a time, and you put two at a time!" Richard landed on Zhang Zi'an's shoulder, counting π.

"Squeak. π shrunk his neck weakly. It had a good time just now, holding a fairy stick in each hand and dancing, so Richard was not outnumbered but uneven, hating himself for not giving birth to two beaks, otherwise he could have put two fairy sticks together, and maybe he could draw S and B at the same time......

However, fortunately, it did not have two beaks, and the noise from one mouth alone was unbearable.

"Quack, did you see the words that Uncle Ben wrote in the sky just now?" Richard bullied π and felt bored, after all, π wouldn't fight back, so he patted Zhang Zi'an's head with his wings, and came over to tease him.

"I didn't see it. He didn't get the idea, and replied simply.

"Quack! Forget it, since you're done, let's go back! Uncle Ben is about to freeze into an ice sculpture!" If it was usual, Richard would definitely not stop there, but at this time it was so frozen that it couldn't even use its wings, and an upside-down onion was stuck in his hood, and he quickly wrapped his body tightly with the hood.

Zhang Zi'an picked up the tin bucket and dumped the water inside on the wreckage of the fireworks to prevent any remaining sparks from being extinguished, and then walked back to the car with the empty bucket, followed by the other elves.

"Cold ...... It's cold!Turn on that thing called the air conditioner!" Fina jumped into the passenger seat and tried to pull the air conditioner vent with her paws, but no warm air poured out.

Zhang Zi'an started the engine, "Wait a few more seconds......"

His eyes were fixed on a white-to-green smudge on the front windshield, and he stopped halfway through his words.

"Gah!" Richard cried out indignantly, "What dead bird that doesn't open its eyes actually on Tai Sui's head?" Don't let Uncle Ben touch it, or you have to give it a good look!"

"Which bird poops on the car at night?" Zhang Zi'an asked with a tense face.

"There are a lot of them! Uncle Ben is here to teach you, like owls, night herons, bats, etc., they are all birds that move at night...... Speaking of which, Uncle Ben seems to have seen a night heron fly over our heads before...... Can't be wrong, it's the Eight Achievements!" Richard shook his head and searched around, "Let Uncle Ben think about where it flew away......"

Its eyes widened, and it looked around very seriously, as if it could really see things clearly at night, but in fact, if it were not for the headlights of the car, it would not have dared to take off at night at all.

It's just that it pretended to be too serious, but it subverted its usual bird design, which convinced Zhang Zi'an that there was no doubt that this half-thin and half-dried bird droppings was definitely pulled by it!

"First of all, bats are not birds, and secondly, are there night herons in Marina City? How come I have never seen one?" he said coldly.

Richard stared at the wilderness at night, his black eyes desperately turning and thinking about the words, trying to find a substitute for the dead, but the back of its neck was immediately grabbed by Zhang Zi'an, and before it could react, it was thrown into a tin bucket, and then upside down in the trunk, with Pegasus as its companion.

"Quack! You are a dull soul!" Richard clinked and pecked the iron sheet with his beak and cried out sullenly: "What evidence do you have to prove that Uncle Ben did it? Is this illegal imprisonment? What about Uncle Ben's bird rights? Uncle Ben is going to the United Nations Bird Rights Conference to accuse you! When the time comes, you won't be able to eat and walk around! This is an international event, do you understand diplomatic disputes?"

Zhang Zi'an ignored its protests, closed the trunk door, endured nausea and wiped off the bird droppings with wet wipes, then sat back in the cab and started the car, heading back to the city. Fortunately, he didn't use a wiper, so the entire front windshield would probably be ground glass......

After leaving the police dog nursing home, they played for about an hour, and now it's almost eight o'clock in the evening. Ning Lan and her classmates should have also left the police dog nursing home, and they may have already arrived home at this time.

He turned on the air conditioner in the car, and the temperature in the car gradually rose, and Fina's complaints gradually subsided.

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu ......" Lao Cha looked at the road outside, listened to the sound of firecrackers one after another, and chanted slowly.

Zhang Zi'an said with a smile: "Old man tea, it's not the most lively time, wait until 12 o'clock at night, it is the peak of firecrackers and fireworks, the sound of firecrackers used to be so loud that even the sound of TV programs can't be heard clearly......"

I remember when I was a child, after eight o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, the city was almost empty, and my family stayed in front of the TV to watch CCTV or provincial satellite TV gala, but with the development of the times, Chinese New Year's Eve is no longer so important, and from time to time there are young people walking in groups on the road, enjoying the nightlife that is no different from usual.

Zhang Zi'an parked the car in front of the pet store, turned off the engine and got out of the car, tore off the copy paper that had been pasted before, opened the roller shutter door, let the elves enter the store, then locked the car, and pulled the roller shutter door down again - he almost forgot Richard again, and went back to bring the tin bucket in, otherwise Richard would really freeze to death outside.

The doors and windows of the store were closed for almost the whole day, and even without the electric heating, the temperature was much warmer than outside.

Fina ran in first, threw the two warm babies at Zhang Zi'an's feet, and motioned for him to stuff them into the cotton pad of the cat's climbing frame.

π ran back to the second floor with a puff of smoke.

Richard, who was released from the tin bucket, flew to a high place and chattered and complained to Zhang Zi'an.

Lao Cha couldn't wait to turn on the TV, it heard that people all over the country are now watching the Spring Festival Gala, and also wants to follow to see what the charm of this Spring Festival Gala is, and experience the modern Chinese New Year's Eve.

Pemmas yawned and leaned wearily on the edge of the recliner.

Xinghai and his kitten friends started a new round of hide and seek.

Snow Lion suddenly remembered the smell of beef filling used to make dumplings in the police dog nursing home, and grabbed Zhang Zi'an's pants and clamored to taste it.

Zhang Zi'an was so busy that he first warmed the baby for Fina, then went upstairs to the kitchen to boil water to make tea, and took a few pieces of raw beef brisket from the refrigerator to lure away the snow lion, and then blocked Richard's mouth with nuts, and waited for the matter to come to an end, he could stop and take a breath.

He poured a cup of hot tea for Lao Cha, poured another cup for himself, and carried it to the second floor.

π had already sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and was entering the password to enter the author's background at the starting point.

Zhang Zi'an knew that although π had a lot of fun today, he would be dazed a lot of the time, and he must be worried about his results.

π may not be confident, but he has full confidence, because since this morning, he has seen many people mention π in the online section of the Wanghaige Forum, so the results should be fine.

"π, how's it going?" he looked at the time, it was now 20 hours before it hit the shelves, and the results wouldn't change much.

"Squeak ......"

Although π opened the backstage, he covered his eyes and didn't dare to look. It pointed to the screen and asked Zhang Zi'an to help it look.

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help but smile when he saw it like this, this is like when he checked the score of the college entrance examination, he obviously wanted to see it to death, but because he was afraid that he would not meet expectations, he even dared to check it himself for a while, and asked his parents or siblings to help check it.

"Okay, let me see. ”

Zhang Zian pulled a chair and sat down, looking at the screen with confidence.

Hey?

When he saw the number of subscribers, his heart tightened, and the tea in his hand almost spilled, as if he had stepped on the empty stairs when he went down the stairs.

What's going on?

Why are the results so bad? Only 1,000 people subscribe?

Zhang Zi'an couldn't figure it out, this result was unexpectedly bad, and it made him doubt his life.

"Squeak?"

π probably noticed his surprised expression and became even more nervous.

However, wait for Zhang Zi'an to put down the teacup and take a closer look......

"π, wait, 1, 2, 3...... 4？”

He counted, and there seemed to be a few zeros just now? The number 1 was followed by 4 zeros?

it!

That's impossible!

Zhang Zi'an's first reaction was that he had read it wrong, or counted it wrong, or the data on the website was wrong, in short, it was absolutely impossible for 1 to be followed by 4 zeros.

He rubbed his eyes, looked again, counted again, refreshed the backstage......

It's still 4 zeros.

Before, Zhang Zi'an felt that it was enough to have 3,000 people subscribe to the π, and he could enter the boutique hall and be remembered forever by the starting point, but ...... The real results are simply jaw dropping!

"π, I'm going to ask you to do something for me, and I want you to say yes. ”

He straightened his face and looked at π seriously.

"Squeak?"

Seeing him so solemn, π suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, as if his face was pale due to insufficient blood pressure.

Zhang Zi'an took out a blank notebook and a pen from the drawer and handed them to π.

"π, you will definitely have a lot of fans in the future, but as your first fan, can you sign it for me?"

π blinked, even more dazed.

Zhang Zi'an finally couldn't help laughing, and pressed π's shoulder hard, "π, congratulations! Your grades are surprisingly good! 10,000 people have subscribed to your book! 10,000 people! Do you know? Many people may not have seen 10,000 strangers in their lifetime! And now, 10,000 strangers have stood together because of you!"

π turned his head mechanically and saw the five-digit number on the screen, and was as shocked as a wood carved clay sculpture.
