The New Year's atmosphere was strong, and the festivities lasted all night. Wang Zheng stayed up with his parents until midnight, then went downstairs to light a string of firecrackers before returning to his room.
They talked for a long time during this period.
Although most of the time was spent talking about ordinary family matters, such as who released the most spectacular fireworks in the supernatural fireworks competition, or how the variety show was getting worse year by year, there was so much family affection and warmth contained in these ordinary words.
It's filled with the warmth and happiness of family, something that nothing else can replace.
This intense warmth was enough to satisfy the loneliness deep within Wang Zheng's heart...
At this moment, Wang Zheng was lying in his room, listening to the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside. Through the window, he watched the fireworks flashing and bursting in the distant sky, a lively scene that seemed to never end.
In my previous life, the entire city of Jingnan had long banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers. I never expected to see such a spectacular sight in the city on this blue planet.
Perhaps it's because there are more awakened people that they're less afraid of fires?
As he watched the dazzling sparks outside the window, Wang Zheng's thoughts drifted far away.
This is his first Spring Festival since arriving on Earth. He has his parents with him, but what about on Earth?
Did Wang Zheng from Blue Star go to enjoy a life of luxury for himself?
In that safe environment, would he feel confused about suddenly growing up to be more than ten years older? Would he treat his parents on Earth as kindly as he would have treated himself?
Overwhelmed by inexplicable emotions, Wang Zheng was restless and couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning, he suddenly got out of bed, took out his phone, and tried to send a few New Year's greetings to several of his friends.
If you can't sleep, you can bother other people, or find something else to do to distract yourself...
Then his phone started ringing.
Surprisingly, none of these guys were asleep, as they were all night owls.
Of course, the replies he received varied.
Curly Hair and Liu Yi secretly went out for a meal. After receiving Wang Zheng's message, they wanted to invite him to come along. Although it wasn't far, Wang Zheng didn't want to go out and have a wild time on a day like this.
She then sent a message politely declining their offer.
"Study hard for your exams, don't be playful, and try to become my junior next year."
Ignoring the middle finger emoji that one of them gave him, Wang Zheng continued reading.
Of the remaining people, Wu Huan's reply was the shortest, just two words: "Thank you!"
Uh...it suits her image too. Wang Zheng wasn't surprised at all. Next one, next one.
Mei Yiqi must have copied a congratulatory text message from somewhere else and replied.
The kind of thing like "I'm afraid the firecrackers on New Year's Eve will be too loud, and you won't be able to hear my blessings..." is very perfunctory. And at the end, he even mentioned that he hoped Wang Zheng would have time to give him some pointers on how to use the material after school starts.
Wang Zheng felt a tightness in his chest after hearing the news, so he simply replied with a "heh." He then planned to settle the score with him after school started.
Wang Zheng guessed that if this guy didn't need his help, he probably wouldn't even reply to this text message.
Although Wang Zheng himself sent a copied text message and didn't have any good intentions, it didn't affect his determination to beat up the ungrateful wretch.
As for Chu Xiaoman, well, she gave Wang Zheng a good scolding right off the bat.
She cursed him for being heartless, saying he hadn't contacted her since returning, and now winter break was almost over, and there was still no sign of the promised help he would develop her physical form.
Wang Zheng had no guilty conscience; he had experienced so much during the winter break that he wouldn't even remember such a trivial matter.
After replying with "I'll definitely do it next time," I blacklisted her to avoid being harassed.
If it were really an emergency, given Chu Xiaoman's personality, she would definitely call from another number. At worst, we could just release her from the "black room" again tomorrow. It's no big deal.
He had won so many meals from her and wasn't planning to ask for them back, so he was sure that Chu Xiaoman wouldn't blame him, given her personality.
Finally, Bai Meixi extended an invitation to Wang Zheng to come over, saying that she was bored at home alone during her vacation and that Wang Zheng hadn't been online for a long time.
Wang Zheng naturally made up an excuse, saying that he had left the game console in the dormitory and hadn't brought it back, and asked her when she would be home.
He planned to go to Zijin Mountain to see if Master Bai had any insights into the damage to Elder Chu's brain core.
He had wanted to go to Zijin Mountain before, but he had just returned from Yunnan and was worried about encountering some troublesome things. In addition, he encountered the evil spirits later, so he put the matter aside.
Seeing that Wang Zheng really intended to come, Bai Meixi was also happy. She quickly said that she was at home every day and could come anytime, as long as they let her know in advance so that they could prepare.
Wang Zheng naturally kept this in mind and planned to go there when he had some free time in a few days.
"Ah~ that feels so good."
The thought that the people he had disturbed were probably also unable to sleep made Wang Zheng feel much better.
He then tossed and turned in bed, thinking about many things, and finally drifted off to sleep after half the night.
It seems that reaching the maximum level of visualization skills isn't necessarily all good; at the very least, he's lost a way to fall asleep steadily.
