"What?! Today is the 31st?! Are you going home tonight?! Damn it..." Zeng Li looked at Qin Nan in shock.
"You two are both awesome. You can't tell the difference between day and night, and you don't even know what day it is." Qin Nan said with a sneer.
"Why is this like this? I still want to go to many places... I don't want to go home... Why does time pass so fast..." Zeng Li said with a tearful look on her face.
"Lili, what's wrong? Have you eaten yet?!" Mo Dan, who was sleeping on the bed, was woken up by Zeng Li's voice.
When he saw Qin Nan standing at the door, he quickly turned on the light. Qin Nan also frowned when he saw Mo Dan, who was slightly "put on". The two sisters had been in the city for more than half a month.
The two of them have gained at least more than ten kilograms of meat each. The key is that the food at home is not very good...
"Brother Nan Nan, what's wrong? Have you eaten?" Mo Dan said as he rubbed his eyes, seemingly not awake.
Qin Nan sighed and nodded. Since he was going back to his hometown tonight, Wu Haotian packed some tricks.
He originally thought that he had extra bags and could put some in the refrigerator, but he never expected that Zeng Li and Mo Dan seemed to eat more than before, with more than a hundred copies.
The four of them ate no one left, and the two sisters finally drank up the last bit of noodle soup.
Afterwards, the two sisters returned to their rooms in tacit agreement, closed the door, and then began to fall asleep.
Qin Nan couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw the two of them. At least when he went back, grandma wouldn't say that he abused them.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian packed their luggage and put all the gifts into the trunk of the car. The two sisters slept until four o'clock in the afternoon before slowly getting up to pack their things.
After everything was ready, Qin Nan opened the door.
Then I saw Aunt Wang next door who was preparing to go home for New Year's Day. After saying hello, a few people went downstairs. Since the area near the Bell and Drum Tower is crowded with people every year, Qin Nan and the others went out at six o'clock in the evening.
Door.
Although he expected that there would be many people nearby, the number of people this year was a bit beyond his expectation. He searched for three parking lots before finally finding a spot in an open-air parking lot one thousand meters away from the Bell and Drum Tower.
After they had a simple dinner nearby, they arrived early near the Bell and Drum Tower.
"Wow, there are so many people. Brother Nannan, buy us two balloons." Zeng Li pointed to the balloon vendor over there and said.
Qin Nan shook his head and went up to buy four. He had only spent three years here, that is, after he went to college.
"Boss, how much are four balloons?" Qin Nan opened his wallet and asked.
"One hundred and six." The boss said calmly.
Qin Nan glanced at him with wide eyes. On weekdays, there were only twenty-one at most, but at this time, the boss looked like he didn't want to buy it. If you don't buy it, someone else will buy it later.
Qin Nan sighed, not bothering to argue with him, and immediately took out one hundred and sixty.
"Boss, here are two balloons!" A boy on the side squeezed over and said.
Qin Nan felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he turned his head and looked over there. When he saw the man's face clearly, he unconsciously shouted: "Zhao Bin?!"
When the boy heard someone calling his name, he also glanced at Qin Nan.
"You, you are...by the way, the policeman that day..." Zhao Bin thought for a long time before finally remembering.
When Qin Nan heard him say that he was a policeman, he immediately reacted.
Yes, he is Qin Nan now, not Zhao Liang. Although Zhao Bin is his classmate, he can't say that he is Zhao Liang. Who would believe it.
"Hurry up. Have you bought the balloons yet?" At this moment, a girl suddenly appeared next to Zhao Bin, who seemed to be his girlfriend.
After Qin Nan took the four balloons, he smiled awkwardly at him, then turned and walked towards Wu Haotian.
Unexpectedly, he could meet his college classmates here.
"Thank you, Brother Nannan~" Zeng Li took two of the pink balloons and said happily.
Wu Haotian noticed the change in Qin Nan's mood and asked him what was wrong. Qin Nan said it was nothing, and then started wandering around the area with Zeng Li and the others.
The feeling of Qin Nan coming here this year is completely different from the feeling of coming here in previous years. In these few hours, he met many acquaintances from the past.
College roommate Zhao Bin, college teacher, former high school classmates, and even my ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend...
Every year here, he would meet more or less acquaintances of his, but this year he lived in a different way and met different people.
There is Song Yi, the captain of the criminal police team of the police station, as well as Ma Xiaotao, Wu Haotian, Zeng Li, etc., but he seems to like his current life more than before.
"There's only one last minute left, hurry up and get ready!" Zeng Li shouted.
At this time, there were so many people around that it seemed that even a pin could not be inserted.
"Three, two, one..."
"Dong, dong, dong..."
The bells of the Bell and Drum Tower rang. Qin Nan quickly made a wish and then let go of the balloon in his hand.
At this time, the sky was full of flying balloons. They were densely packed and looked very spectacular. Each balloon represented everyone's wish.
Qin Nan looked at Wu Haotian and Zeng Li beside him. He just hoped that he could celebrate New Year's Eve with them next year. He hoped that he could still live in this way...
"Cousin, look what I'm doing." Zeng Li said.
Only then did Qin Nan react, and then he frowned and said:
"Let's go and go home. It's already one or two in the morning before we can get back."
Zeng Li sighed and seemed a little reluctant to leave. Her best friend also showed the same expression as her.
A few people walked in the direction of the car. After walking for about half an hour, they squeezed out of the Bell and Drum Tower business district.
After Zeng Li and the others got in the car, they lay down directly in the back and fell asleep. Qin Nan sat in the passenger seat, and then Wu Haotian stepped on the accelerator.
At the same time, the snoring of the two sisters could be heard after defecation. Qin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it, and then shook his head helplessly.
At this time, light snow began to fall in the sky. Wu Haotian was driving on the highway at this time. He was afraid that Wu Haotian would fall asleep, so Qin Nan chatted with Wu Haotian about daily life.
"Haotian, how are you preparing for this exam? It seems there are more than ten days until the exam." Qin Nan asked.
"Well, I didn't have much confidence at first, but after Captain Song gave me some encouragement, I became confident..." Wu Haotian said.
Qin Nan thought to himself that it seemed right to ask him to take the car to the police station, so he continued to ask:
"By the way, what score can you get if you take the mock test paper now?"
"Alas, hovering between ninety-eight and ninety-seven..." Wu Haotian sighed.
"Perfect score?" Qin Nan asked with wide eyes.
Wu Haotian responded, and Qin Nan sighed. He just said he was confident. Could it be that he wanted to get perfect marks?
Qin Nan didn't want to talk about similar topics with him anymore, so he changed the topic and talked with him about some of his daily life and the years he spent in seclusion.
It didn't take long for a few people to get off the expressway and pass by the previous Panshan B&B. At this time, there seemed to be two more street lights installed outside the Panshan B&B, and there seemed to be a few more cameras.
When Wu Haotian drove to the entrance of the village, the snow in the sky seemed to be heavier, and a fog began to form around him, just like when Qin Nan came to the village that day.
Just when we reached the first fork in the road, some white things began to float in the sky.
A piece of white copper round paper money fell on the windshield. Upon seeing this, Wu Haotian quickly stepped on the brakes.
At this time, Zeng Li, who was sitting in the back row, also woke up from her sleep.
"What's wrong..." Zeng Li said with a yawn.
"Look at that..." Wu Haotian pointed to the white copper circle on the windshield.
Zeng Li rubbed her eyes and frowned when she saw clearly what was on the windshield.
At this time, Wu Haotian and Zeng Li seemed to vaguely hear the sound of the suona.
"What's wrong?" Qin Nan looked at Zeng Li and Wu Haotian with confusion and asked.
Zeng Li made a shut-up gesture, and the two of them listened carefully to the source of the sound.
Her expression became more solemn at this time, and then she slowly said: "Oops, I encountered a Yin soldier who took advantage of me..."
