You don't make cards according to the routine at all, do you?

"Xia Zhi...?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Ci was also taken aback.

"How did you come?"

"Come and see Brother Gu Ci."

Xia Zhi was wearing a padded jacket and a white scarf, her cheeks were flushed from the cold, she was very cute.

The girl handed the beautifully packaged box to Gu Ci.

"Here, here you are, a New Year's gift."

"How embarrassing..."

"Don't be embarrassed, why don't you give me one too?"

"..." You are quite proactive.

Xia Zhi blinked: "I heard that many people have magical girl cards in their hands recently. They should all be bought from you, right? I want to prepare an extra weapon as a backup, so that even if I accidentally make a mistake, there is still a remedy opportunity, so Brother Gu Ci...you understand."

"Okay, one is not enough, I will give you an extra one, use it when the spare is gone."

"Hee hee, thank you Gu Ci!"

Xia Zhi smiled happily.

Gu Ci also smiled.

He found that the girl's voice was really easy to infect others.

People want to beat someone up when they laugh.

When someone smiles, it lifts the mood.

Xia Zhi obviously belongs to the latter.

That night, although he and Xia Zhi exchanged contact information, so far, Xia Zhi has never sent him a private message. Now that they met for the fourth time, they are more like real friends.

Xia Zhi can curse, but she is also very polite. Know how to measure, but occasionally very active.

To be honest, Gu Ci began to like this lively and eccentric girl a little bit.

The next step is to unwrap the presents.

Under Xia Zhi's urging, Gu Ci opened the box.

It is a card making pen.

The shape is similar to that of a fountain pen, but I don't know what kind of material is used for the shell, it is black and shiny, and a little bit fluorescent.

It looks like a starry night sky, very beautiful.

"Do you like it, Brother Gu Ci?" Xia Zhi asked expectantly.

"I like it." Gu Ci said truthfully, "But isn't it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Xia Zhi was afraid that Gu Ci would regret not accepting it, and quickly raised two fingers to make an oath, "It's really not expensive, I promise, it's not even my pocket money for a month."

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows: "I didn't see it, you are still a little rich woman?"

"No, it's just that my parents dote on me more, so they give me more." Xia Zhi explained.

"Speaking of this, don't you have to stay at home with your parents for Chinese New Year today?" Gu Ci asked.

Xia Zhi nodded: "I want to accompany you, but I asked them for leave, so I can go out and play for a while before going back."

Gu Ci had a half-smile, "Should I play for a while, or train for a while?"

"Oh, it's all the same." Xia Zhi, who was exposed on the spot, blushed and arched her nose, "Brother Gu Ci, it's not good for a man to be too smart."

"I thought you were praising me."

Gu Ci smiled and packed the box, put it in the drawer, put on the down jacket, "Let's go, let's go to West Market."

...

West Market.

The night has drawn deep.

The ten-mile long street is brightly lit and crowded with people.

Tiger head lamps are hung at the entrances of all shops.

The new year is the year of the tiger.

"A lot of people..."

"What did you say?"

"I said, a lot of people!"

In the crowd, Xia Zhi shouted at the top of her voice.

Only then did Gu Ci hear it clearly, and said with a smile, "It's Chinese New Year."

Most of the time, the more remote the town, the more Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Xia Zhi liked this lively feeling very much.

She also wanted to watch the fireworks with Gu Ci.

It's a pity that time is limited, she can't stay for that long, or she will be scolded by her father.

Gu Ci seemed to know this too, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.

It can't be seen as fireworks, so it's not bad to go to the lantern festival for a while.

In this regard, Gu Ci is quite understanding.

Xing Wu kept whispering in his ear: "Why hasn't she left, why hasn't she left..."

finally.

After shopping for almost two hours, the two arrived at the square where the fireworks were set off.

"Brother Gu Ci, I have to go home."

Xia Zhi's tone was reluctant.

"Shall I send you off?" Gu Ci asked.

"No, no, it's not too far away. You can't miss the fireworks once a year." Xia Zhi smiled and waved, "Brother Gu Ci, goodbye first, I'll come to you after the special recruitment exam is over."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Gu Ci nodded and said with a smile, "I'll wait for your good news."

"Um!"

There were more and more people in the square, soon covering Xia Zhi's back.

"It's time to go."

Xing Wu immediately felt a lot better.

"You seem to have a problem with her?"

Gu Ci is good at asking questions knowingly.

"Is there? No." Xing Wu flatly denied, "I'm just worried that she will be scolded if she comes home late."

"In that case, do you think she's a nice person?"

Otherwise, why worry about others?

Xing Wu keenly caught the word "also" and snorted.

"It looks good at the moment, but there is a saying that life is just like the first meeting, understand? The first meeting is always beautiful, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts. When the time comes, you will be deceived. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Gu Ci smiled and said nothing.

He just likes to see Xing Wu's duplicity.

"Boom!"

Not long after, the first loud noise exploded in the night sky.

It was in the shape of a tiger.

Immediately afterwards, more fireworks climbed into the sky.

Emerald tassels are colorful.

Gu Ci's eyes reflected the streamer, and his heartstrings twitched slightly.

This is his first New Year's Eve after crossing.

It is impossible to say that there is no emotion, but it is not to the point where I have to say it.

"Buzz."

[Xia Zhi: Brother Gu Ci, Happy New Year! (*^▽^*)】

The girl texted.

After Gu Ci replied, he touched the star card on his chest and said, "Happy New Year."

"Happy." Xing Wu only said two words very coldly.

Gu Ci couldn't help laughing, he remembered that Xing Wu really didn't like to talk at first.

If it can be expressed in one word, there is absolutely no need for two words.

But people change.

"Let's go home and cook dumplings."

Gu Ci said, after finishing speaking, he glanced at Xing Wu again, and sighed deliberately.

"Hey, it's really boring to eat alone. It would be nice if someone eats with you."

"..." Xing Wu didn't say a word.

Although I don't know how this guy guessed it, but she has indeed been able to temporarily restore her human form.

She originally planned to surprise Gu Ci when she came home after watching the fireworks tonight, but now she changed her mind.

Isn't there still Xia Zhi?

Since you two can chat so well, why don't you make a video to eat dumplings?

Who hasn't lost their temper, hum.

When we returned to Huaizhi Street, it was already 1:30 in the morning.

The street lights were on all the time, but no one could be seen.

It was late at night, and there were not many residents on this street, so it was normal for it to be deserted.

...Oh no, there are people.

Gu Ci walked near the shop, only to find a person standing in front of him.

He was dressed strangely, wearing a retro-style wizard robe with a hood.

There was a cloud of black mist under the hood, not to mention the face, you couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman.

"Gu Ci, step back."

Hearing Xing Wu's words, Gu Ci subconsciously glanced at the tree.

The camera that was fine when I went out has been broken at this moment.

"The visitor is not kind..."
