It was difficult for Ouyang Xiaoleng to fit into the atmosphere of other boys' nonsense, because he was tall, he was assigned by Liu Lingmei to hang latte art, and Liu Lingmei herself stood on the table and pasted window flowers. Unlike other classes that she bought directly, most of these window grilles were cut by herself overnight, perhaps because she stayed up late, she felt a little dizzy.

Xia Qiu saw the tiredness on her face and persuaded: "You don't have a good face, go and rest for a while!" ”

Liu Lingmei insisted: "I'm fine, Xiaoqiu, you go write on the blackboard, don't worry about me!" ”

Xia Qiu couldn't resist her, and she was sent to the front of the classroom to write blackboard words, but she still couldn't rest assured, so she looked back at her situation from time to time. The moment she suddenly turned around, her eyes were in a trance, and the noisy voices of the boys in the air suddenly stopped, and when her eyes turned to the direction of Liu Lingmei, she saw that she was standing on tiptoe to stick to the top window grille, and then her feet 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 down the chalk in her hand and raised her foot to run in the direction of Liu Lingmei, but she was suddenly pulled back by something. When I came back to my senses, I found that Liu Lingmei was still standing on the table, and she had just stood on tiptoe to prepare to paste the tallest window grille.

Everything was just as she had just seen it, and she had a premonition that she had just entered a state of detachment, and probably foresaw what was about to happen, so she hurried in her direction. Sure enough, as soon as she ran to her, it was just the moment when she slipped and was about to fall, and if she hadn't helped her in time, she would have fallen off the table.

"It scared me to death, I thought I was going to fall." Liu Lingmei gasped for breath, and her eyes were full of tears because she was frightened.

"It's all right!" Xia Qiu held her hand and found that her hand was cold and cold, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe and sound.

"Xiaoqiu, what if I didn't have you." Liu Lingmei choked up.

"Are you alright?" Du He and the rest of the classroom also gathered around.

"Don't make any more trouble, 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 and the boys nodded again and again.

"You see, they still listen to you, especially him!" Liu Lingmei eased up a little, pouted and pointed at Du He and said.

"He doesn't listen to you, and I do!" Dong Haofan handed over a cup of hot water and said.

"Alright, okay, don't be angry!" Du He's comfort caused the boys next to him to laugh.

On the 31st, the whole day was spent busy in the party, and Xia Qiu sang an English song as agreed with Liu Lingmei before. After having dinner with his grandparents in the evening, he began to prepare for the New Year's celebration of the demon world, and Qianqi also rushed back to the royal city at noon on the same day, and he and Ouyang Xiaoleng came to the big tree in front of Xia Qiu's house together, waiting to pick her up and go to the demon world.

The Demon World King City has also been decorated before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the shops on the shopping street are rarely all open, and the entire royal city is even more lively than the new king's accession ceremony, and it looks especially dreamlike against the background of the orange lights on the street. The shopping streets are clogged with people coming and going, and they can just turn around the small shops and stalls in the summer and autumn without hurrying.

Little Snow Rabbit had made an appointment with Ouyang Xiaoleng to meet them at the shop that sold masks, and during this time she had been locked up at home by her mother Miao Xue You, but thanks to her Uncle Mochizuki who had said good things to Miao Xue for a long time, she was allowed to come out to play on Chinese New Year's Eve. She wore a freshly bought fox-faced mask diagonally above her head, her mouth stuffed with all kinds of snacks bought on the street, and the pockets she carried were filled with many novelties she had found along the way, and she jumped and jumped with joy at the sight of them.

Qianqi has been introducing Xia Qiu to all kinds of things that he thinks are delicious, but in her opinion, some things are really difficult to swallow, such as the pocket water ghost in the barbecue stall, although this little demon is only the size of a palm, but it looks extremely similar to a human, no matter how much Qian Qi tries to explain to her how delicious this thing tastes, she will not move a bite. She only dared to eat a kind of takoyaki thing, twelve pieces per portion, which looked like balls on the outside, but the filling inside of each one was different, some tasted delicious fish, some tasted sweet roses, some smelled wine, some were spicy, and some even had a taste that she couldn't say.

When he walked to the shochu stall, just in time for the guests who were sitting on the bench in front of him to leave, Qianqi pulled Xia Qiu and them to sit in. He himself sat on the far left, Xia Qiu sat on his right, Ouyang Xiaoleng 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 speak, the horse-faced monster inside put four cups in front of them, picked up a long-spouted wine jug from the hot water sink at the back, and poured each cup full of demon wine, the scalded demon wine was full of flowers, and each cup was floating with a piece of osmanthus petals.

"Is it okay for minors to drink alcohol here?" Xia Qiu hesitated and asked.

"It's okay, even I can drink it, and at the age of twelve in the demon world, I will be considered an adult!" Snow Rabbit replied with a smile at her.

"Let's sit here a little longer, and then go to the observation deck at the top of the mountain to watch the fireworks when it's almost twelve o'clock." Chiki proposed, it had been a long time since he had drunk hot soju, and today was the New Year and happened to be reunited with Xia Qiu, so he wanted to drink a little more.

"I don't think you're a person." Snow Rabbit stuck out her tongue and said.

"Like whom?" Chiki asked curiously.

Xia Qiu had already guessed that the little snow rabbit was talking about Mochizuki, so he looked at her and smiled, Ouyang Xiaoleng also looked to the side as if he had guessed, and Qian Qi was even more anxious when he saw that everyone except him knew who the snow rabbit was talking about.

"Tell me quickly, who is it like? Who's as handsome as I am? Qianqi asked.

Hearing him say this, Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit laughed even more happily, and Snow Rabbit even laughed a little out of breath.

"Like the big rabbit who gets drunk every day." Snow Rabbit said.

"I don't look like that old drunkard!" Qianqi said with a crooked mouth, then raised the cup in front of him and drank it down.

Ouyang Xiaoleng also drank the wine in the cup in one go, and still didn't need to speak, and the horse-faced monster inside filled the empty cup again.

Xia Qiu tasted a sip of soju, sure enough, it was sweet and warm, the entrance was soft and mellow, not spicy to the throat, but as soon as the wine entered the stomach, you could feel that its degree was not low, and the whole body was warm from the inside out after drinking a glass, and as soon as she put down the empty cup, the horse-faced monster poured it for her again.

"When you don't want to drink, just turn the cup upside down and buckle it on the table, and the boss will take it away." Ouyang Xiaoleng reminded her.

"Then how do you know how much money to give him?" Xia Qiu was a little curious about this question.

"You take a closer look at your cup." Ouyang Xiaoleng prompted.

Xia Qiu took a closer look at the cup in his hand, and found that the white cup had a thin engraved demon text, which should represent the number, and the second symbol on his cup now is red, and the symbol on it should light up one by one with the number of cups drunk, which is amazing. Xia Qiu tried to drink another glass, and then asked the horse-faced monster to fill it for himself, and sure enough, the second demon text dimmed, and the third lit up.

When everyone didn't pay much attention, the snow rabbit had already drunk three glasses of demon wine in a row, and as soon as the wine came up, she began to get excited, and even sang loudly, which made Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was sitting next to her, a little helpless.

"Hey, I can't give her any more drinks." The horse-faced monster was about to pour another wine for the snow rabbit, but Ouyang Xiaoleng said as he reached out and buckled the snow rabbit's cup.

"I'm going to drink it again!" The snow rabbit shouted to grab his cup, but it fell on Ouyang Xiaoleng's body.

"Looks like we're going to have to get her back first."

Ouyang Xiaoleng was just about to get up, but he saw Mochizuki coming from afar, he had long been thinking about drinking a few cups of hot demon wine, and walked here following the fragrance of soju, but he saw Ouyang Xiaoleng and them, and then saw that the snow rabbit lying on Xiao Leng's body had drunk too much.

"Give her to me, I'll send her back, and you can continue to play!" Mochizuki had to suppress his alcohol addiction first, said to Ouyang Xiaoleng, and then prepared to hug the snow rabbit.

"Mr. Mochizuki."

Xia Qiu knew that Mochizuki liked to drink the most, and since he had walked here but didn't drink alcohol, he would definitely be disappointed, so he handed him his own wine glass, which was filled with warm soju. Mochizuki smiled when he saw it, reached out and took a drink, and then returned the cup to Xia Qiu, and everyone watched his tall figure disappear into the crowd with a small snow rabbit on his back.

Mochizuki has always loved the snow rabbit the most, if it is just because his brother listens to the moon and is not true, as long as he is with her, his image will have a 180-degree change, the snow rabbit is like an oasis in his wandering life, so he can't help but cherish it.

Mochizuki carried the snow rabbit all the way back to Wutong House, and he deliberately walked slowly and steadily, for fear that the bumps would disturb the sweet dreams of the girl behind him. As he was about to enter the gate of the Sycamore Residence, he was approached by a man in a black cloak who came out of it, his entire face hidden in the cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes. When passing by, he vaguely saw the chill revealed in the pair of all-white pupils, the aura exuded by that person was not familiar to him, he was a little strange who would be looking for Miao Xue Yu at this time? Based on what he knew about her, she had little contact with people since her brother's death.

When he walked into the hall, Miaoyuki was sitting on a wicker chair drinking tea, looking unusually calm, and she found that the snow rabbit behind Mochizuki couldn't help but show a slightly complaining look, and before Mochizuki opened her mouth to ask who the person who had just walked out was, she blamed him.

"Why did you get her to drink? Still drunk like this! ”

"Everyone was very happy on Chinese New Year's Eve, so I allowed her to drink a few glasses, but I didn't expect her to get drunk so easily." Mochizuki hurriedly took the responsibility for Snow Rabbit's drunkenness on himself.

"I just sent off an old friend of mine, help me carry her back to her room, I'm ready to rest."

Mochizuki saw that Miao Xue Yu did not continue to investigate, and also took the initiative to mention that the person who walked out just now was her old friend, although there were still some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask more, he helped settle the snow rabbit and left.

After walking out of Wutong Residence, he did not return to the shopping street, but directly returned to the residence in the Chenji Palace, remembering that after Ouyang Hongye sent troops to eliminate the remaining zombies in the Southern Zhejiang City, in addition to moving the gold back to the royal city, he also moved back all the wine for him as originally agreed, and stored it in Ouyang Yong's wine cellar, just taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to ask Ouyang Hongye to drink a few glasses, during this time Hongye was busy with the affairs of Chenji Palace all day, and the two had not drunk and chatted for a long time.

After drinking, Qianqi became more and more talkative, and kept asking about their affairs at school in Xia and Autumn during this time, Ouyang Xiaoleng answered him without a match, showing an impatient look from time to time. And this time, Xia Qiu watched the two of them quietly on the side and couldn't help laughing, she couldn't remember how many glasses of demon wine she had drunk, her mouth was full of the aroma of wine and osmanthus, fortunately, although she was a little drunk, she was still sober.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, the crowd began to gather towards the observation deck, Ouyang Xiaoleng finally waited for the opportunity to get rid of the 100,000 whys of Qianqi, leaving a small ingot of gold for the horse-faced monster and pulled Xia Qiu to the mountain, Qianqi was not to be outdone and caught up to hold Xia Qiu's other hand, and then looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng with some smugness and provocation. When they arrived at the observation deck, there were already many people gathered, Ouyang Hongye had already arranged for the palace guards to occupy a good position for a few teenagers, and when the guards saw them coming, they greeted them behind the railing.

The purple white lotus is the same as in the past, coupled with the embellishment of various lanterns hanging on the street, the beauty makes people reluctant to blink, and the beautiful scenery and the noise of the crowd make Xia and Autumn always feel like they are about to leave. The bell on the lookout was runged, and after a slow twelve bells, the first cannon salute rang out, and it was only when the fireworks lifted off that her thoughts were pulled back.

The huge fireworks that bloom in the sky are so beautiful, everyone holds their breath, those fireworks are not quite the same as those in the world, many of them are injected with demon magic, and they can change into various fantasy postures, there are golden fireworks with huge tail wings like a phoenix piercing the sky, there are fireworks with blue butterflies flying elegantly, there are fiery red goldfish fireworks that disappear after gently swinging their tails, there are colorful peacocks looking at the fireworks of the flower clusters, there are beautiful beauty fireworks smiling, and huge spherical fireworks are scattered in all directions, Xia Qiu felt that the alcohol on his body before was taken away by them in an instant, and he was only fascinated by those beautiful fireworks.

"Happy New Year!" Xia Qiu turned his face and said to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi.

"Ah, Happy New Year!" Qianqi replied with a smile.

"Well, Happy New Year!" Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded thoughtfully, the fireworks that were still in full bloom reflected the 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 they met last year, the beautiful boy like the ice sculpture became the demon king fox overnight, as the king of this world, he shoulders the fate of this world, and this world and her own world have been closely connected.

The distance between the two worlds is like the distance between him and her at this moment, they are born in different spaces, but they are connected by the thread of fate, destined to walk side by side. He unconsciously reached out in her direction, and the moment his fingers touched hers, he clasped his fingers tightly with hers. At this moment, with the fireworks, it may be that the hearts of each other are getting stronger and stronger, how she wants to be by his side all the time, in the coming year, in the coming year...... can accompany him to watch the fireworks until the end of time.
