Daily life in the academy

Bai Zhi didn't dare to look at Yan Qingchen's expression at this moment, and quickly stood up and hid behind Mu Bailin.

"Keep crying... Do you still want your dragon cannon? Miss Chu is still here, look at what you have piled up." Yan Qingchen glared at her fiercely.

"Hehe...Brother Yan, I was wrong. Don't be angry." Bai Zhi poked her head out from behind Mu Bai. "Youyou, you won't be angry with me, right?"

Although Chu Youyou had doubts about her little sister just now, she believed that Ah Zhi definitely didn't do it on purpose, so she nodded and pleaded with Yan Qingchen, "Ah Zhi was having a blast and lost her sense of proportion for a moment. I believe she won't do it again next time."

"That's right." Mu Bailian agreed softly. He had already mustered up a lot of courage to stand between Bai Zhi and Yan Qingchen. He didn't even dare to look at Yan Qingchen's face, let alone say anything good for Bai Zhi.

Wenzhe winked at the attendants who had followed him, gestured with the fireworks, and after they all hurried towards the carriage, he gently smoothed things over: "Qingchen, you see, it's getting dark. It's time to set off the fireworks."

"Yes, yes, that's right. The matter of building a snowman is over. There is no winner or loser. We still have firecrackers to play with." Mu Bailian quickly agreed.

At this time, the servants also brought over the fireworks and firecrackers. Yan Qingchen finally relaxed and said, "I'll ask you again when I get back."

Bai Zhi appeared to be obedient and accommodating, but she was actually very unconvinced in her heart. She picked up a firecracker and started to vent her anger. She buried the firecracker in the base of the slime while no one was paying attention, then lit the fuse and pulled Chu Youyou away quickly, but did not make a sound to remind the other three.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise and snowflakes flew everywhere. Except for Bai Zhi and Chu Youyou, all three were affected.

"Hahahaha, have you tasted the power of the snow cannon?" Looking at the miserable looks of the three people, Bai Zhi finally calmed down.

Yan Qingchen was helpless. Bai Zhi was so naughty. Was this really what a girl should be like?

"It's fun, I want to play too." Without saying a word, Mu Bailian took a bunch of firecrackers, buried them in the snow and lit the fuse, giving no time for anyone to react.

"Bang-bang——" With a few loud noises, everyone was in trouble.

"Mu Bailian, I will kill you. This is the latest style of skirt I just ordered from Rui Yuzhai. It's very expensive! You have to compensate me." Chu Youyou was unlucky and a hole was burned in her skirt by the firecrackers that were blown away. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She picked up a firecracker, lit it and threw it at Mu Bailian.

Bai Zhi's eyes widened, and she grabbed Chu Youyou who was about to continue throwing firecrackers, "Calm down, calm down, this is not fun, it would be bad if you hurt anyone."

Mu Bailian was unconvinced, "I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, why did the firecracker burn your dress? We are fine."

"I don't care, you compensate me."

"I won't..."

Bai Zhi stood between the two of them, trying to stop them from fighting. "Youyou, don't be angry. Hey, Mu Bailian, don't come over here. Stop talking."

Yan Qingchen and Wenzhe looked at each other helplessly, their heads buzzing.

...

After persuading them for a while, the two still refused to give in, so Bai Zhi gave up and moved away from between them.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" attracted everyone's attention, followed by a series of "crackling" sounds. Colorful lights spread out from the air, like elves in the night sky, and countless points of light fell like stars.

"Look, the fireworks are so beautiful."

Seeing this, the attendants quickly swatted away the fireworks they had brought. "Your Highness, Miss Chu, three young masters, we are about to light the fireworks. Please stand further away and be careful not to get splashed with sparks."

After everyone walked away, the attendants lit fireworks from both sides, and the vibrant colors exploded in the night sky. Red like fire, pink like clouds, and gold like the sun. All kinds of colors intertwined, reflecting and blending with each other.

At this moment, all the grudges disappeared and everyone quietly appreciated the beautiful scenery before them.

"I hope I can make a fortune in the new year, and everyone will be safe and happy." Bai Zhi shouted loudly.

Mu Bailian also shouted, "I want to be a hero who protects others and surpass my father!" He pushed Wenzhe, "Azhe, it's your turn."

Wenzhe: "I wish everything goes well, and everyone avoids bad luck." He turned to look at Yan Qingchen, "Qingchen, it's your turn."

Yan Qingchen whispered, "The country is peaceful and the people are safe." Only when the Yan Kingdom is strong and prosperous can other things be possible.

Only Chu Youyou was left. She temporarily put aside the matter of her clothes being burned and shouted loudly: "I hope my father will not force me to get married again."

Perhaps because Chu Youyou's tone was too angry, the four of them turned to look at her at the same time.

Facing eight eyes at the same time, Chu Youyou smiled sheepishly: "Excuse me, because I failed in the last concubine selection and staged a drama with the prince, my father felt that if I continued to stay at home, no one would want me. He sent people to show me portraits of various young masters every day. I was almost annoyed. I took advantage of New Year's Eve to come out and relax, and I happened to run into you guys. I had a lot of fun today!"

Mu Bailian teased, "With your temper, I'm afraid most men would find it hard to handle you."

Chu Youyou sneered at him and said, "It won't be you anyway."

"I'm only sixteen years old. If you ask me to marry you, I won't be happy."

Wenzhe frowned and stopped Mu Bailian: "Bai Lian, how can you talk to Miss Chu like that?"

Chu Youyou covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "I don't like you. My husband must be a gentle and humble gentleman like Master Wen. You should think about who is willing to marry you. Young Master Mu's reputation in Sheng'an City is not very good."

Bai Zhi:?

...She seemed to smell something unusual.

Without waiting for Mu Bailian to continue his rebuttal, Chu Youyou bowed and said goodbye to everyone: "It's already past midnight, it's getting late, I'll go back home first."

Bai Zhi waved goodbye to her: "Goodbye, Youyou, let's play together next time."

Mu Bailian murmured to her back, "Hmph, whoever said that must be a girl from Sheng'an City. I don't like those delicate girls."

Bai Zhi looked at him doubtfully: "What are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

Mu Bailian shrugged: "Nothing, are you still going to play with firecrackers?"

Yan Qingchen glanced at the sky and said, "Let's stop here today. It's getting colder. The dinners in the mansions should be almost ready. We still have to stay up tonight, so we should go back early."

Mu Bailian sighed and followed everyone else, saying, "In previous years, when we stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, we could listen to music and watch a play, or set off firecrackers in the mansion to pass the time. I don't know how I'm going to get through this night."

Bai Zhi spread her hands indifferently, "I don't believe there really is a Nian monster that eats people. It's just a folk custom. When it's lively and lively, everyone stays up together. If you can't bear it any longer, you can just sleep. The next time you close your eyes, it's the first day of the new year. You can get lucky money by paying New Year's greetings. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Mu Bailian nodded in agreement: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be the case."

Wenzhe smiled and said, "Azhi's ideas are always different from ours, and he can always provide new ideas."

Yan Qingchen chuckled, shook his head and muttered, "Quirky."
