Chapter 25 Lanterns, Blessings, Spring Festival Couplets

Bang bang! boom!

All kinds of noisy sounds came into Kafka's ears while she was sleeping through the shoddy windows of the room.

In the dim room, she slowly opened her eyes. She was awake, but not awake. She was still curled up in Fan Mu's bed, as if she was reminiscing about the past, as if she was reluctant to leave.

But there was no emotion revealed in her eyes.

After a long time, the dim room became brighter and brighter, and the bed curtains could no longer block the warm sunlight.

clatter! clatter!

The footsteps were unusually obvious in the silent, empty room. Kafka got out of bed and came to the living room. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She moved a bench and sat by the window.

The ground outside the window was bright red, and crackling sounds continued to be heard as people set off long strips of firecrackers. After they were set off, the firecrackers would fade away for a while. During this period, children would rush over and look for the missed firecrackers on the ground.

However, compared to at night, there are far fewer people setting off firecrackers during the day.

Her eyes fell on the market in the distance. She couldn't see what was going on inside the market, but she could see each house and people walking around inside.

Ring toss, scooping goldfish, shooting guns...

She lowered her head. She obviously didn't like playing, so why would she want to bring these?

Why? She missed her big brother.

There was air conditioning at home but she didn't turn it on. She put on a coat, supported her head with her hands, and sat in front of the window all day.

Noon, afternoon, evening, night.

The number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease, but increased instead. Most of them were families. They were playing and joking, and those who needed to set off firecrackers were setting off firecrackers.

The city looks much more beautiful at night than during the day. The lanterns hanging on the doors of every household are lit up, the red lights illuminate the Chinese character "Fu" in front of the doors, and red couplets are posted on the doors.

Kafka looked at the scene in front of her, tilted her head and finally moved, no longer sitting in her seat.

Couplets, blessings, and lanterns. If I put them up, big brother will probably come back, right?

She jogged to a store outside. It was a bit cold outside, and her fingers turned white after just a short while.

After buying the things with her own money, she ran back to the door and started pasting them. Since she was not tall enough to reach the door, she moved two stools from inside the house and stood on tiptoe.

The things have been posted, but where is the big brother?

Kafka looked around and heard laughter and joy all around her, but her older brother was nowhere to be seen.

She's not stupid, but she just wants to see big brother!

She sat back in front of the window again, looking at the colorful fireworks rising in the sky. She was sitting alone in the room, with a dim and silent room on one side and a noisy city on the other. It was like two different worlds.

She waited quietly in the house for the door to open, waiting for Fan Mu to return.

She believed he would come back because the eldest brother loved Kafka the most!

On the other side, on the Starry Sky Train.

"Cough, cough!"

In front of a ceremonial dining table filled with all kinds of food, Fan Mu rubbed his nose.

"Who is scolding me?"

“Maybe it’s the people in the company.”

On the other side of the table, Jizi was stirring the coffee in her hand elegantly with a faint smile on her lips.

"I feel more like they are the crazy people in Huanyue." Fan Mu also laughed, but his hands under the table were clenched tightly, with veins popping out as if he was enduring something. "It could also be the Antimatter Army."

"That's right. I didn't expect your power to be so strong!" Ji Zi praised without hesitation, with a hint of sigh in her voice. She was never stingy with praise for her companions.

"That's okay, this is my limit!" Fan Mu shook his head.

"Why do you still want to compete with the envoy?" After putting the coffee down, Ji Zi hugged her arms and held up her proud figure. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, it seems that it's the New Year in New Babylon. Do you want to change the train route and go back to have a look?"

"No need." Fan Mu hesitated for a moment and rejected the proposal. "Let's find some other way before going back. There's no need to waste time."

In the past six months, he has found one or two methods, but they may not be useful.

"Don't you miss your sister at all?" Ji Zi raised her eyebrows and elegantly tidied the red hair beside her ears.

They have been together for more than half a year, and she has never heard her handsome companion say "miss you".

"Her grandmother will take care of her, so I don't have to worry about her." Fan Mu looked at the bouquet of bright red flowers in the vase on his desk, picked one, looked at it, and put it back.

He didn't answer whether he wanted to or not. Did he? Of course he did, but after so much experience, this seemed insignificant.

What was more important to him now was the mission. He had to complete the mission and give the system an explanation, and then...

Thinking of this, Fan Mu lowered his head, a trace of deep fatigue in his eyes.

"Your sister is only 15 years old this year, still a child. Won't she miss you?" After saying that, she took a sip of the coffee on the table.

"It's okay. Grandma is with her. They have a very close relationship." Fan Mu chuckled and he returned to normal.

Will I miss him? Maybe, after all, he let go in time this time, so he shouldn't be hated, right?

"What are passengers Jizi and Fanmu talking about?"

At this time, the conductor Pam, a small stuffed doll, came over with two trays in her hands, filled with expensive-looking food.

"Pam is here!" Fan Mu quickly stood up, squatted down, and took the plate from it, "Thank you for the food, Pam!"

"Hehe!" Pam was obviously in a much happier mood after being thanked, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It's okay, Pa!" Pam patted Fanmu's shoulder, "This is also due to the contribution of Fanmu's passengers. These are the food you bought, Pa!"

"Then I still have to thank Pam!"

"Hehe, even if the passenger said so, Pam will not allow you to abuse the conductor's Pam!"

"No way." Fan Mu gently picked it up and put it on the seat beside him. "I have always respected the conductor!"

"That's fine!" Pam nodded, very satisfied with his attitude, "Since everyone is here, let's have dinner!"

Ji Zi on the side supported her chin with her hands on the table and watched the scene with a smile in her eyes. She liked this kind of atmosphere.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

Fan Mu has only been on the train for more than half a year, and during this period no new partners have joined, so there are still two people and a conductor on the train.

He ate his meal and drank his wine in small sips. He actually didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much.

Happiness, joy, suspicion, betrayal, pain, separation.

They will be separated in a few years, and this world is fake. After he leaves, everything here will become nothingness, and the happiness he feels now will only turn into pain for him.

Although he doesn't care, after all, everything will become nothingness.
