After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the whole family went crazy.

Chapter 42 New Year’s Eve Part 3 (continued from the next chapter)

The sky had already darkened, and the road outside the villa was brightly lit.

These were decorated by the students in the dormitory area themselves. Various colored lights and red lanterns made this usually spacious and deserted road very lively.

Su Ran looked out the window, the lights were flashing, and she could vaguely hear the laughter and laughter coming from several other villas.

Since we couldn't go home, we all made an appointment with our friends who had fun together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve.

It was just after eight o'clock. When Su Ran watched Xie Shiqing bring out the last dish from the kitchen, he clearly realized that Su Tianliu and the others would really be late to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner together.

But we have to eat. With Xie Shiqing and Hua Rongqi here, we still have to celebrate this year together.

For the sake of fun, the dining table was moved to the living room.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV, and Hua Rongqi was playing with his mobile phone next to him. He just heard a "crashing-" sound, which seemed to be the sound of fireworks exploding.

"Can the volume on your mobile phone be lowered? It covers the sound of the TV." Su Ran looked sideways at Hua Rongqi.

In response to her, Hua Rongqi exclaimed: "Fuck! These fireworks are so big."

Hua Rongqi handed the phone to Su Ran, motioned for her to look at it, and murmured: "What a big firework."

The video played again, and the brilliant fireworks took up the entire screen. The fire was so bright that it ignited the vast night.

Su Ran's attention was also attracted: "Where did you watch this video?"

Hua Rongqi slid his finger on the screen twice and said, "It was sent by people from the Alchemy Academy. I asked them what they were doing in the alchemy room sneaking around recently. It turns out they were studying fireworks."

Among them, Hua Rongqi is a Fu cultivator and occasionally goes to the Formation Cultivator to attend classes.

The five brothers and sisters of the Su family, except Su Xiuzhu, are all sword cultivators, and Su Xiuzhu is a formation cultivator.

As for Xie Shiqing, his name is on the Swordsmanship Academy, but you can see him everywhere.

It really fits the sentence: Brother’s legend is all over the school.

"They sold it in the group." Su Ran said when he saw a new message pop up on his phone.

The group Su Ran was talking about was an object exchange group created by students themselves. It was said to be an object exchange group. Sometimes there would be some rare items developed by students from various colleges and sold in the group.

Among them, Talisman Cultivation, Utensil Cultivation, and Alchemy Cultivation are the most popular.

Needless to say, swordsmanship is recognized as the poorest and most tiring profession. Of course, the exceptions are the Su family and Xie Shiqing. These few are simply a breath of fresh air in swordsmanship.

Most of the cultivators are strong, and it is rare to get sick. Except when the secret realm is open and the academy competes, the Medicine Academy is quite deserted.

In order to make some extra money, students from the School of Pharmacy often go to outer cities to sell some medicines that can nourish the body for ordinary people.

The situation of Formation Cultivation and Medicine Cultivation is similar. Before the opening of the secret realm, the Formation Cultivation Academy was bustling with people, and its desertedness on weekdays could rival that of the Medicine Cultivation Academy.

Sword cultivator is the biggest customer of weapon cultivator. Dan cultivator often develops some weird things, which may seem useless, but Su Ran and Hua Rongqi often spend their living expenses on Dan cultivator.

Fu Xiu is the most popular major in Daogui.

The fortune charms coming out of their academy are often sold out as soon as there is news about them.

If you don’t have acquaintances, most people can’t grab it.

Not to mention the popularity of the landing charms specially provided for the exam.

Su Ran took advantage of Hua Rongqi and was always the first to get the fortune talisman every time it came out.

Hua Rongqi usually looks unreliable, but her professional course scores have been among the best every time since she entered school.

Because of the fortune talismans, Hua Rongqi was quite impressive for a while. However, not long after he was proud, he saw Xie Shiqing coming over with a bunch of fortune talismans, as if he didn't want money.

Hua Rongqi at that time said: "You robbed the college's warehouse?"

Xie Shiqing raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly: "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Hua Rongqi didn't know why. He had never robbed the college's warehouse. His fortune charms were all made together with the seniors in the college.

——Wait a minute, Hua Rongqi had an epiphany.

What Xie Shiqing means is that their fortune charms require teamwork to complete.

But he is different, he can do it alone.

Hua Rongqi opened her mouth, wanting to scold him, but was afraid of being beaten, and then watched helplessly as Xie Shiqing gave Su Ran the string of lucky charms in his hand.

Just listen to him say: "Draw whatever you want, you can play with it."

Hua Rongqi roared in his heart: What a random drawing! How can it be so easy to make a fortune charm? Look! ! !
However, the effect of the talisman drawn by Xie Shiqing was even better. During that time, Su Ran's fortune was booming, although her fortune was not bad on weekdays.

How could one be born into a rich family and have poor fortune?

So Hua Rongqi decisively rebelled and ran over to Su Ran to ask for a talisman drawn by Xie Shiqing.

A bastard who doesn't make money, Hua Rongqi has always been able to bend and stretch.

Returning to the group chat message, Su Ran looked at the selling message sent by a certain Danxiu classmate on the screen.

[Have you made elixirs today: Super large fireworks, not 998, just 888! Super big, huge, invincibly big! Make sure your fireworks become the most dazzling presence in the sky above Daogui! 】

Someone will reply soon below.

[Swing the sword a hundred times a day, and you will become a god tomorrow: @Have you made elixirs today, brother, it’s cheaper, it’s just for the Chinese New Year. 】

[Have you made elixirs today: Don’t play the emotional card. It’s not easy for us during the Chinese New Year. The production of super large fireworks is very expensive, and we only made a hundred copies this time. 】

[Have you made alchemy today: @All members, the quantity is limited, first come, first served! 】

Su Ran's eyes lit up and she immediately typed a reply:
[If you have money, don’t worry: @Have you made elixirs today? Here are ten. 】

The ID Su Ran is often active in the group. Every time there is something interesting and expensive, she can be seen. She is simply a representative of wealth.

A certain Danxiu classmate was impressed by this ID and was immediately overjoyed.

[Have you made alchemy today: The boss is here! I'll chat with you privately! 】

The fireworks are beautiful, but the price is too high, so many students are hesitant.

Besides, these are fireworks. Unless you set them off at home, everyone can see them.

Instead of spending this money, it is better to take advantage of the rich brother and the rich sister.

After Su Ran, several more students targeted this Danxiu classmate and said they wanted to buy fireworks.

But most of them are one or two, and there are still very few people like Su Ran who take ten at a time.

Looking at the remaining balance of fireworks, classmate Dan Xiu was wavering on the edge of price reduction. He couldn't help but sigh: The economy has been in a recession in recent years. Before the fireworks were set off, they were sold out in ten minutes.

I wasn't confident at first, and just when I was about to discuss price reduction with my seniors, I was criticized again by someone in the group.

[If you have money, leave her brother alone: ​​@Have you made alchemy today? How much is left? I want them all. 】

Classmate Danxiu: "!!!"

Living Buddha! The first living Bodhisattva of the New Year!

The person whose ID is "Rich, leave her brother alone" is Su Tianliu.

Su Ran was shocked when he saw Su Tianliu suddenly appeared, and then clicked into his dialog box.

[Su Ran: Brother? Are you back? 】

The other party responded very quickly, almost in seconds.

[Su Tianliu: No, I saw you buying fireworks in the group. I bought a few more for you to play with. 】

Su Ran's joyful mood had dissipated a lot, but he was still very happy because of Su Tianliu's actions.

She took a picture of the dining table and sent it. There was a bubbling hot pot in the middle of the table, surrounded by brightly colored vegetables. Su Tianliu counted exactly ten kinds.

The background is the Spring Festival Gala being played, and the host in the picture is introducing the next program.

[Su Tianliu: You guys eat quickly, we can’t go back until tomorrow morning. 】

[Su Ran: Happy New Year’s Eve, be careful on the road. 】

[Su Tianliu: Happy New Year’s Eve. 】

Su Ran put her phone on the table and was about to raise her head to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala when Hua Rongqi suddenly grabbed her arm.

"It's snowing!" Hua Rongqi said in surprise as he looked at the heavy snow that suddenly fell outside the window.

Su Ran then remembered the news she had seen a few days ago, that there would be a heavy snowstorm during the Spring Festival.

The secret realm is entered through the academy's teleportation array and is not affected by the outside weather. Su Ran is not worried that bad weather will affect Su Tianliu's return process.

"Shall we go out to play in the snow later?" Su Ran suggested.

Looking at the formations under the snow, it is estimated that there will be a layer of snow soon.

"Build the biggest snowman in Daogui!" Hua Rongqi said in agreement.

Xie Shiqing followed Su Ran. He was willing to accompany Su Ran in whatever he wanted to do and generally had no right to comment.

Hua Rongqi put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his mouth and asked vaguely: "Did the person in the group say when the fireworks will be sent?"

Su Ran's eyes fell on the braised prawns, but after hesitating for a moment, he looked away.

She put another piece of vinegar-coated lotus root slices into the bowl and said, "It's on the way. The batch that third brother bought will be sent next door. I told him that we can't fit it in the yard."

"That's ok, we have to build a snowman in our yard later."

Su Ran responded and was engrossed in eating when suddenly there was a peeled shrimp in the bowl.

Su Ran looked up and met Xie Shiqing's cold eyes.

Under the reflection of warm lights, Xie Shiqing's usually cold aura softened and became more humane.

Xie Shiqing's slender fingers were peeling the second shrimp, and his fingers were flying with skillful movements.

The oil stained his cold white hands. Xie Shiqing frowned slightly. He glanced at Su Ran next to him and relaxed quickly.

He put the second peeled shrimp into the bowl in front of Su Ran and said softly: "I have nothing to do, I'll peel the shrimp for you."

Before Su Ran could answer, Hua Rongqi stepped in and said, "Then peel one off for me too."

Xie Shiqing's eyes were cold and she looked straight at him.

Hua Rongqi suspected that Xie Shiqing was going to put the braised prawns on his head. Sure enough, the next second he heard him say: "I think you want to be a peeled shrimp."

Hua Rongqi: "."

Su Tianliu, when will you come back?

In order to break the ambiguous atmosphere between your sister and Xie Shiqing, I was threatened with death every day!
Hua Rongqi, the lightbulb, has a strong presence. Whenever Xie Shiqing talks to Su Ran, he will intervene.

Hua Rongqi ignored Xie Shiqing's substantive gaze and spoke to Su Ran bravely.

At ten o'clock, Su Ran went to the window to check the thickness of the snow, and called Xie Shiqing and Hua Rongqi over.

"It feels okay."

To the naked eye, it is already seven or eight centimeters thick. The yard in the villa area is very large, and it is more than enough to build a snowman.

Hua Rongqi opened the door first, followed closely by Su Ran.

However, as soon as he took a step, Xie Shiqing grabbed his wrist.

She looked back and saw Xie Shiqing took out a scarf from the counter next to her and put it around Su Ran: "It's cold outside. You're not as thick-skinned as Hua Rongqi."

Hua Rongqi, who was being forced back by the cold outside and was about to put on some warm tools: "."

Can you please stop stepping on me when you are trying to be attentive?

After putting on the scarf, Xie Shiqing handed Su Ran a pair of gloves, as if taking care of a child.

Hua Rongqi watched coldly from the side the whole time: "Haha."

After Su Ran was fully armed, with only a pair of eyes exposed, Xie Shiqing let her out with confidence.

Hua Rongqi and Su Ran walked side by side, looked back at the distance between Xie Shiqing and them, and whispered: "Just like an old woman."

Su Ran was noncommittal, did not nod or shake his head, and did not participate in the war between them.

Hua Rongqi will stop when he sees good things, and just one word to sow discord is enough.

——If you talk too much, you will be beaten by Xie Shiqing.

The three of them soon devoted themselves to the business of building a snowman. When they inserted the last carrot into the snowman's nose, a slow and heavy "clatter" sound came from the sky behind them.

Su Ran turned around and saw that the huge fireworks seemed to tear the sky apart, taking away everyone's attention in an instant.

The fireworks set off nearby became embellishments at this moment. Someone in the distance shouted: "It's the boss who is setting off huge fireworks. Come out and watch -"

Under the fireworks, four figures were walking slowly.

It's Su Tianliu and the others.

Su Ran was so surprised that she forgot to move, her eyes widened, and the firelight reflected in these bright eyes.

When they got closer, Su Tianliu waved his hand in front of Su Ran twice and said with a smile, "Are you stupid?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to come back until tomorrow?" Su Ran came back to her senses, a smile spreading across her eyes and brows.

Su Tianliu sighed in his heart that my sister is so beautiful, and acted like a steady brother and said, "I have to come back and give you lucky money."

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from somewhere and handed it to Su Ran.

"New Year's money brings peace and prosperity every year."

Su Qingchen also came over, with a gentle temperament, smiled and handed Su Ran a red envelope: "Happy New Year's Eve, little sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tang's delicate voice sounded: "Happy New Year's Eve."

With that said, a red envelope was forcefully thrust into Su Ran's hand.

Su Ran was infected by her smile and started laughing too.

"Come on." Su Xiuzhu didn't fight or grab, and waited until everyone had given it before he stepped forward, "We Ranran will never be short of money."

Well, I'm not short of money, so I don't want to thank Shi Qing for the family card.

Su Xiuzhu deliberately mocked Xie Shiqing. He had long seen Xie Shiqing's evil intentions, but because Su Ran liked him, he deliberately didn't mention it.

With family and friends around him, Su Ran felt that the happiest thing in the world was probably nothing more than this.

As midnight approaches, more and more fireworks explode into the night, symbolizing the coming of the new year.

Su Ran was looking up at the fireworks when the hand hanging by her side was suddenly touched.

Xie Shiqing stuffed a red envelope and said softly: "Happy New Year."

As soon as the voice fell, the bell symbolizing the New Year rang.

　The New Year's special episode is over. The main text will continue in the next chapter.
