The countdown to the new year has ended.
The crowd gathered at Lakeside Yintai gradually began to disperse.
Zhao Xun and Ma Jiaojiao can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When the crowd thinned out, Ma Jiaojiao repeated her New Year's wishes:
"Happy New Year, Senior Zhao Sun. Please continue to guide me this year."
Zhao Sun: "...It has such a damn strong anime vibe."
"We're from the anime club!"
After emphasizing this, Ma Jiaojiao brought up the previous topic again: "...The dormitory, I guess we can't go back to it, right?"
Dormitories close at 11:00 PM.
But it's already past midnight.
The Hangzhou subway operated as usual on New Year's Eve—later than usual.
But schools don't care about that.
Dormitory closing time should still be on time.
Zhao Xun thought for a moment: "If I try my best to kneel down to the dormitory supervisor, he should still let me in."
Ma Jiaojiao: "...The senior really went to great lengths to get into the dorm."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Zhao Xun retorted.
He wouldn't want to kneel if he could.
Ma Jiaojiao wanted to say something, but then changed the subject and said:
"Hey... senior, you don't have to blame me."
Zhao Xun frowned slightly: "You mean, it's more appropriate to scold you now?"
Although it was Ma Jiaojiao who suggested coming to celebrate the New Year.
But he did agree after all.
Now that we've ended up in this awkward situation, it's a shared responsibility... Zhao Xun has a foul mouth, but he never uses words to shift the blame.
“…Never mind.” Ma Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Then you're talking nonsense," Zhao Xun said... in a really weird way.
Ma Jiaojiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked:
"Senior, did you bring your ID card?"
"I brought it."
Zhao Xun instinctively replied, "...What do you want to do?"
Ma Jiaojiao circled her soft cheeks and said:
"Actually, I don't know if it's suitable or not, but I think, senior, maybe we could..."
Zhao Xun looked at her.
"Just to clarify, I don't do this kind of thing often, but I think it's quite appropriate."
“…”
"Anyway, let's open Meituan and see if there's a suitable place. There are so many people celebrating New Year's Eve, the nearby places are probably all full. Let's find one a little further away..."
Zhao Sun: ...
"Senior, what do you think of this place? I think it's pretty good, the environment and atmosphere... it should be quite suitable."
Zhao Xun glanced at the options and, after thinking about whether to kneel before his uncle or spend the night with the big girl, finally chose the latter.
So, following the map, the two spent more than twenty minutes finally arriving at the place where they had placed the order.
"--boss!"
Ma Jiaojiao went upstairs and asked the receptionist, "Can I use the Meituan coupon?"
The receptionist replied with a smile, "Yes!"
"Recharge 100 and get 100 free??"
"right!"
Then, the two found two adjacent machines.
A sleepless night in the internet cafe!
start up! !
"Given Lao Bei's personality, he can't possibly take his uncle to an internet cafe for a date, can he?"
Suddenly, Zhao Xun remembered something he had said a long time ago.
There's foreshadowing.
He criticized others, but in the end, the criticism came back to haunt him.
wrong.
This is what you call a date?
Zhao Xun thought to himself.
"Senior! Behind you, behind you—hey, you're so bad, senior."
"Bullshit, you were just daydreaming!"
…
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me??"
Xia Li appeared on Li Si's phone screen.
Because her home was very close, this girl ran home to be with her mother on New Year's Day.
Then, Li Si was left alone in his empty room—a roommate? Does that even count as a person?
Li Si remained expressionless.
Xia Li frowned: "It's stuck?"
Li Si remained motionless.
Xia Li tried again: "Hello—wait, my internet connection is full, and the school's internet has always been good."
"Is it because you've used too much data and your speed has been throttled?" Li Si asked.
"...Ah, that seems...impossible, today is only the first."
Xia Li answered, then paused for a second before realizing, "How come it's flowing again?? You were just faking it, weren't you?!"
Li Si then smiled and said, "Happy New Year."
"New Year's Day—no, let me check the time."
Xia Li glanced back at the watch hanging behind her. After ticking several times, she said, "Happy New Year—you can only say Happy New Year on New Year's Day, not even a second off."
As she spoke, her fangs looked even cuter under her radiant smile:
I'm the first person to wish you a Happy New Year!
"Yes, thank you." Li Si chuckled.
Xia Li glanced sideways: "But no one has told me this yet this year."
Li Si was taken aback, then realized that he could only say it at the New Year, so he added, "Happy New Year."
Xia Li immediately started laughing again:
"Um!!"
Looking at Xia Li's smile on the screen, even though there was nothing to be too happy about, Li Si couldn't help but smile as well.
I have a feeling that this year will be very happy.
Then, Xia Li on the screen seemed a little embarrassed. She scratched her hair and whispered:
"I'm sorry I can't spend New Year's Eve with you..."
Li Si asked in confusion, "Then what are you doing now?"
"I'm on the phone with you, what else could I be doing..."
Xia Li answered immediately, then paused, finally understanding Li Si's meaning. She chuckled sheepishly, "The year has only just begun, let's have some fun together~"
After Li Si hummed in agreement, Xia Li yawned.
Are you sleepy?
