Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

Hearing this, do you think anyone wouldn't be angry?

If ordinary people are like this, how much more so Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, who are both extremely vengeful?

They had originally planned to give Fatty a good beating, but after thinking about it, they realized it wasn't necessary, especially since it was the Lunar New Year.

There's a saying in Daxia: "Speaking it out can solve 90% of the problems."

During the Chinese New Year...

Therefore, Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, moved by kindness, did not give Fatty a severe beating.

Instead... they gave him a light beating.

With just a little effort, Fatty learned about the coldness and warmth of human nature.

He just wanted to give them gifts!

Why can't you understand my good intentions?!

Damn it!!

I'm never going to be friends with you guys again!

What? You're saying a mysterious person has come?

Hehe, Ze-ge, Qi Ye, we're still the best in the world~

"As expected, gold is a good thing; it's comfortable to wear."

"Seven Nights, how are you feeling?"

Lin Ze asked.

"I feel it's a bit heavy, and it's not very comfortable to wear."

Lin Qiye stretched his neck and wrists.

After a close conversation with the chubby guy, all the accessories he was wearing ended up on the two of them.

The wrists of both hands, the ten fingers, and the large gold chain around the neck.

This person definitely has the image of a nouveau riche.

"It's uncomfortable, then we won't wear it."

"Here, I'll take it down for you."

As he spoke, Lin Ze carefully and gently approached Lin Qiye and removed all the jewelry from his body.

A gold ring on her finger, a gold watch on her wrist, and a large gold chain around her neck.

Lin Qiye, on the other hand, was as obedient as a kitten, sitting there quietly and waiting for Lin Ze to help him take it down.

Just then, Fatty suddenly spoke up, "Hey? Seven Nights, are you cold?"

"Why does your face look so flushed?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that Lin Ze's movements had become faster.

A pang of regret rose in Lin Qiye's heart. He hated himself for not kicking him in the mouth earlier!

"alright."

"Are you feeling better now?"

Lin Ze casually tossed the ornaments aside and said.

Lin Qiye got up and stretched a bit. "Hmm, that's much better."

"I don't like feeling restricted."

"Any jewelry makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lin Ze could understand Lin Qiye's feelings very well.

Because he is also that kind of person, but he doesn't reject it, he just finds it inconvenient.

However, at this moment, Lin Ze seemed to suddenly think of something.

He reached out and grabbed his right wrist, looking at him intently as he said, "Oh right, I forgot to take this watch off for you."

"Let me help you..."

Just as Lin Ze was about to make a move, Lin Qiye abruptly pulled his right hand back.

"This...this is not necessary."

Lin Ze smiled, thinking to himself that it was exactly as he had imagined.

He stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you using it anymore?"

"Didn't you just say you didn't like being restricted?"

"Why have you suddenly changed your personality again?"

Lin Qiye said somewhat awkwardly, "Well... we still need to leave a watch to tell the time."

However, Lin Ze immediately saw through Lin Qiye's hard-won excuse.

"Checking the time?"

"That doesn't seem to be the case, does it?"

"I noticed your watch doesn't seem to be calibrated. What time is it?"

"Could this watch have some other meaning?"

"Now that you mention it, it seems kind of familiar."

"It looks a bit like the one I gave you at the training camp. I remember... I think I was the one who put it on you back then?"

Lin Ze looked at Lin Qiye with a slightly mocking smile; in fact, he had noticed it from the very beginning.

The reason I have so many bad intentions towards him is just to tease him.

Because his helpless look was just so cute!

"Well... I... actually, I was just too lazy to pick them!"

"Ah~ you admit that this is the one I gave you?"

Lin Qiye: We're doomed! We've fallen for their trap!

Lin Qiye immediately felt as if he were being stabbed by a thorn, surrounded by enemies on all sides. He wanted to avoid the topic, but Lin Ze seemed determined to achieve his goal.

For a moment, Lin Qiye wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just then, a loud bang suddenly rang out outside the window.

Boom! Crack!

Fireworks are an essential part of Chinese New Year.

At that moment, Lin Ze's attention was drawn to the fireworks outside the window.

Then he said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time to set off fireworks."

"I don't know if they bought it or not, it doesn't matter. Even if they weren't prepared, it's just a noise, right?"

"We've walked for seven nights, let's go out and set off fireworks!"

With that, Lin Ze pulled Lin Qiye and ran excitedly outside.

What's New Year's without fireworks?!

(Damn it! They don't allow it here, how awful!)

Seeing that Lin Ze was finally willing to let him go, Lin Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Ze continued to press him, he was almost ready to beg him to stop asking!

Fortunately fortunately.

Thank you, fireworks! I love fireworks!

At this moment, the chubby man, who had witnessed everything while lying on the ground, spoke up with some confusion, "A watch?"

"Didn't I give that to Shichiya when school started?"

"How did it become a gift from Lin Ze? Never mind, that's not important."

"Wait for me! I want to set off fireworks too!"

........

Before long, the three of them came outside.

When they came out, people on the street had already started setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

The air was filled with the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

"Seven Nights, Fatty, do you know why we set off fireworks and firecrackers?"

Lin Ze looked up at the fireworks overhead and asked.

Lin Qiye chuckled, "Of course I know, it's to drive away the Nian beast."

"Moreover, we wear red clothes and put up red couplets to drive away the Nian monster."

Lin Ze nodded after hearing this. Sure enough, everyone was learning the same version.

However, Fatty's answer was beyond their expectations.

"The Nian beast? What's that?"

"Isn't setting off fireworks and firecrackers for business purposes?"

"The sound of firecrackers is associated with festive occasions. When consumers hear the sound of firecrackers and see the festive atmosphere around the store, their emotions are infected, and this positive emotion will make consumers have a stronger desire to buy."

"This has a significant impact both externally and internally. For employees, setting off firecrackers can be motivating, symbolizing a new beginning and positive expectations, allowing them to feel the company's positive and uplifting atmosphere."

"Once they feel this atmosphere, they will work more positively and diligently."

"Isn't...it true?"

Fatty looked at the two puzzled people and asked.

That's how his family taught him from childhood.

Hearing this, Lin Ze and Lin Qiye couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn capitalists!"

However, Lin Ze still briefly told Fatty the story of the Nian beast.

After hearing this, Fatty looked on with longing.

See? This is the charm of traditional culture.

Just when Lin Ze thought that Fatty had been won over by traditional culture, Fatty's answer once again surprised him.

"Is the Nian beast... very powerful?"

"Can you defeat the forbidden artifact user in my household?"

"......"

Lin Ze was speechless.

"Don't worry about that for now."

"Next, we're going to play a game called 'Battle Against the Nian Beast'."

"So, are you interested in participating?"

Battle Against the Year Beast?

Fatty immediately became interested upon hearing this.

Isn't the point of Chinese New Year to have fun?!

come on!

"Come on, come on!"

"I've never played this before, how do you play it?"

"I'm so excited," Fatty asked.

At this moment, Lin Ze smiled and said with ill intent, "That's how it is."

"Qi Ye and I, as humans, will use fireworks to blast the Nian beast."

"And you... are responsible for playing the Nian beast."

Fatty: "???"

Am I supposed to play the Nian monster?

Isn't this equivalent to...they trying to bomb me with fireworks?!

"A tonic!"

"I used to be a beast, but now I want to be human too!"

Fatty clung tightly to Lin Ze's leg and wailed pitifully.

However, at this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly spoke up, "Fatty, it's okay."

"Lin Ze was just saying that; do you really think he can actually blow you up like that?"

"Hmm... if it's Lin Ze, then it does seem to be a possibility."

Lin Qiye originally wanted to say that, according to a normal person's thinking, he would not normally do that.

But upon closer reflection, Lin Ze doesn't seem to be a normal person.

This kid is really capable of doing something like this!

Even so, Lin Qiye continued to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."

"Even if he wanted to blow you up, he'd need fireworks first."

"None of us are prepared. Even if Lin Ze wanted to, it would be like a skilled cook without rice to make a meal."

"That's right."

Thinking of this, the chubby man straightened his back.

Is it just Lin Ze?

So what can we do?

"Lin Ze! I'm telling you, I can..."

Before they could finish speaking, their eyes were struck by a firework that was about to fly towards them.

Lin Ze used the [Balance Gravity] to protect Lin Qiye in time.

This meant that Qi Ye was completely unharmed; he didn't even smell the smoke from the fireworks.

Fatty, on the other hand, was in a bad situation. Because he didn't bring Yao Guang with him when he came out, he was hit hard by a bullet.

Dark marks appeared on her once fair face.

"Dry!"

"Who's so blind as to shoot something at someone's face?!"

After Fatty finished cursing, they saw the man's figure.

It was Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu!

Moreover, the two of them were each carrying a large box filled with fireworks and firecrackers.

It's obvious that they were the ones who launched that "attack" just now.

Seeing that the chubby guy's face was all dark, the two of them laughed so hard they threw the boxes they were carrying onto the ground.

Thankfully, there were no firecrackers inside, or it would have been terrible...

"Hahaha, Fatty, who would have thought you couldn't even pass a single firework now?"

"Look at Lin Ze and Qi Ye, how come they're alright?"

Shen Qingzhu burst into laughter, a stark contrast to his previous aloof demeanor.

"Can I be like them?"

"They're perverts!"

At this moment, Cao Yuan came over and comforted him, "Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore, I'm sorry."

"Let's set off fireworks together. We bought a lot, and we can't possibly burn them all off in a short time."

Fatty was quite happy when he saw the fireworks, but when he thought about his identity as the "Nian Beast," he began to feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Um...you guys play first."

"I suddenly realized I haven't wished everyone a Happy New Year yet."

After saying that, Fatty disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

Cao Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Is Fatty afraid of fireworks?"

Lin Ze smiled calmly, "It's normal for the Nian beast to be afraid of fireworks."

"Let's play our own games first."

After saying that, Lin Ze looked at the two boxes of fireworks and firecrackers.

To be honest, these two bought quite a comprehensive range of items.

I've bought almost everything available on the market.

The fireworks included sky rockets, soccer ball-shaped fireworks, double-bang fireworks, triangle fireworks, sparklers, and some larger fireworks.

Let's save these fireworks for tonight, and play with firecrackers for now.

"Seven Nights, have you ever played these games?"

Lin Ze asked curiously.

In his memory, Shichiya had gone blind long ago and probably hadn't played the game.

Lin Qiye's eyes were full of curiosity. "I've played with them, but that was before I went blind. I've been blind for so long before that I've forgotten what it felt like. Besides, I've never seen any of these before."

Lin Ze felt a pang of heartache.

He dared not think about what a childhood would be like for a blind child without parents.

What does he usually do to pass the time?

Will other children bully him?

Lin Ze dared not think about it, but right now he only wanted to do one thing.

Help him rediscover his lost childhood!

"Come on, I'll show you how to play."

"This is called a Sky Monkey; it can fly incredibly high."

"you see me."

As he spoke, Lin Ze picked up a string of firecrackers, lit it in his hand, and set it on fire.

Lin Ze only let go after flames shot out from its bottom, and the Sky Monkey was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

With a whoosh, it flew into the sky.

Lin Qiye asked with some concern, "Are you sure it'll be okay if you hold it like that?"

"What if it explodes in your hands?"

Lin Ze chuckled softly, "No, you can let go as soon as you feel him exerting force."

"Come on, I'll show you how to play."

As he spoke, Lin Ze took Lin Qiye's hand and led him to set off fireworks.

At first he was a little scared, but after feeling the warm touch on the back of his hand, he was no longer afraid of anything.

The rocket successfully took off and exploded in mid-air. Lin Ze even used gravity to make it fly even higher.

As the explosion rang out, the firecrackers hidden deep within Lin Qiye's heart also went off.

That was his childhood that he never got to experience, but now, with Lin Ze by his side, Lin Ze has made up for that lost part of his childhood.

"Lin Ze... thank you."

Hearing this, Lin Ze was slightly taken aback, then quickly changed his attitude, feigning indifference and saying, "Silly child, what are you saying from across the room?"

"Don't just stand there, there are still so many firecrackers to play with."

"Come on, I'll take you to play!"

After saying that, Lin Ze pulled Lin Qiye to the pile of firecrackers.

From Lin Qiye's perspective, his thoughts seemed to drift back to ten years ago.

I wish I had met Lin Ze ten years ago.

He must have been very handsome and energetic as a child. He must have had the aura to conquer the world back then. If I had to describe him, he would be like a genius boy from a novel.

He thought that if he had met Lin Ze back then, Lin Ze would have dragged him to set off fireworks.

Lin Qiye smiled slightly as he snapped out of his reverie.

He saw Lin Ze standing not far away, waiting for him.

"They're here."

........

(Damn! How did it get so long? There's still so much to write, and I'm worried that people won't like reading if I keep writing side stories.)

Then I'll have to update the side stories and the main story together.

Also, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm taking tomorrow off, thank you!
