Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"There are indeed people who don't go home." Lin Jingzhe said, looking at the classmates in the training hall, "I thought we were the only ones!"

"Some are too far from home, and it's not easy to go back." Zhu Youlin pursed her lips and looked at them. "Look at the huge crowds of people traveling during the Spring Festival in the news. The trains are packed, and you have to travel through mountains and rivers just to use the restroom. Trains of more than ten hours..." She shuddered and said, "It's terrifying just to think about it."

"Why do we have to go home together?" Zina shook her head vigorously.

"It's the New Year! It's a time for families to reunite. The New Year is very important to us." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with clear eyes and said, "We must go home no matter what. Even if it rains knives from the sky, it can't stop us from going home."

"I don't understand." Zina pouted and said displeasedly.

"You'll understand it naturally when you get older." Lin Jingzhe said as he looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Zina looked at her in confusion.

"When you get older, your Chinese heritage will naturally awaken." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with innocent eyes and said, "I like Chinese aesthetics." He smiled and said, "Let me put it this way! I like going to temples to burn incense, like listening to operas, and like ancient costumes..."

"I like costume dramas now too!" Zina said to them with a smile in her eyes.

"I know, it's like I'm wearing an ancient costume." Lin Jingzhe said to her with a smile.

"Yeah!" Zina nodded hurriedly. "When I was little, I dreamed of being a knight-errant in the world, even though I was covered in a blanket. Now that I'm rich, maybe one day I'll go take a set of period costume photos."

"Right! Right!" Lin Jingzhe said, looking at her with his curved peach blossom eyes.

"Are you done? Have you changed into your training clothes?" Zhu Youlin said, looking at them with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay. Let's warm up now." Lin Jingzhe and the other man hurriedly left the locker room and went to the training ground.

After a morning of training, Lin Jingzhe and the others changed into thick winter clothes.

Coach Li looked at the assembled students and said, "Don't be nervous! It's New Year's Day, I won't be so serious." He smiled and said, "On New Year's Day, for the teachers and students who stay on campus, let's have a party in the auditorium. It'll be lively and exciting. If you have talents, let's show them off." He smiled and said, "Okay, that's all. Let's eat! I can hear your stomachs growling."

"Ahhh..." They all ran towards the cafeteria.

"The chef has been cooking and arranging the dishes in different ways these days! They look pretty good." Zina said as she walked hurriedly.

"A lot of students are missing, and the chef also wants to add some color to the boring training for those of us who stay in school." Lin Jingzhe said with his bright peach blossom eyes flashing with tiny lights.

"Haha..." Zina said with a smile, "I can feel their love. Even the auntie who serves the food has become prettier."

"It's the New Year! Everyone is so energetic." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile in his amber eyes. Suddenly he thought, "Should we put up Spring Festival couplets on the door of our dormitory? Put up a blessing character."

"Is it okay?" Zina looked at her with her bright black eyes wide open.

"Ask the dorm manager?" Lin Jingzhe's pure eyes were filled with a warm smile as he looked at her and said, "Use tape to stick it on. After the New Year, you can peel it off. It won't damage the wall."

After lunch, Lin Jingzhe found his roommate and explained his purpose, and he agreed without hesitation.

The dormitory manager looked at the surprised Lin Jingzhe and smiled, "Many people have asked about it. Putting up Spring Festival couplets is no problem."

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Jingzhe received a call from Lin Xingzhi as promised.

"I'm here! I'm here! I'm already at the school gate." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile on his face, "What surprise do you have?"

"Look up at the sky!" Lin Xingzhi held the phone and looked at Shen Ze with a pout.

Lin Jingzhe searched in the sky, but heard "whoosh... bang..."

"Were you the ones who set off the fireworks?" Lin Jingzhe's delicate little face showed a bright smile under the fireworks.

"Yes! Since we can't spend our 30th together, we had no choice but to come to you. You are beautiful, right?" Lin Xingzhi said, looking up at the sky that was as bright as day.

"We?" Lin Jingzhe asked sharply, "Who else?"

"Your brother Shen, and Weiwei." Lin Xingzhi said with a smile.

Lin Jingzhe's dark eyes flickered when he heard this, "Where are my parents?"

"Don't you know they get busier the later the New Year passes?" Lin Xingzhi's eyes lit up by the fireworks as he spoke. "We had New Year's Eve dinner together, the three of us."

"It's business! You have to be understanding." Lin Jingzhe's innocent eyes reflected the fiery red fireworks and said, "Without their hard work, how could we have such a prosperous life!"

"I know. I've been through this for so many years, why would I still care about this?" Lin Xingzhi said unhappily, "Don't we always get together on the third day of the Lunar New Year to celebrate the New Year?"

"Is it okay for you to set off fireworks here? Doesn't the city ban fireworks?" Lin Jingzhe suddenly remembered and asked.

"This... is prohibited in the city, and you are in the suburbs." Lin Xingzhi hesitated after hearing this.

"You guys better be careful. If you see something wrong, run away quickly. Don't end up in the police station on New Year's Eve." Lin Jingzhe said nervously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a police car siren. "Fuck!" Lin Xingzhi shouted loudly, "Get in the car, get in the car quickly, the police are coming."

Shen Ze and Lin Qiwei didn't care about the lit fireworks and hurriedly got into the car.

Shen Ze didn't have time to fasten his seat belt. He started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out like an arrow.

The fireworks behind the car dyed the sky colorful.

Shen Ze was driving and turned when he saw a fork in the road. He then slowed down and finally stopped by the side of the road.

Lin Xingzhi watched the police car drive straight through the intersection and breathed a sigh of relief. "We're safe now! It looks like they're not here to arrest us."

"There are so many rules for setting off fireworks," Lin Qiwei said with a pout. "There are so many in the trunk that haven't been set off yet!"

"The city is densely populated, and setting off fireworks can easily cause fires. It would be bad if something happened during the New Year." Shen Ze said, looking at her through the rearview mirror with his clear eyes.

"It feels like the New Year is missing if we don't set off fireworks and firecrackers." Lin Qiwei said to them with her bright almond-shaped eyes.

"That's right, that's right." Lin Xingzhi nodded hurriedly.

"In fact, we can designate a place where everyone can set off as many fireworks as they want." Lin Qiwei said as she looked at them with her almond-shaped eyes reflecting the light of the street lamps.

"Other cities have this arrangement, with fire trucks on standby, but we don't have that policy here." Lin Xingzhi said regretfully, "Forget it, my daughter saw the fireworks, too."

"Brother, are you okay?" Lin Jingzhe asked anxiously.

Lin Xingzhi hurriedly found his phone and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It looks like the police car wasn't brought here for us." He said with great regret, "There are still a lot of fireworks in the trunk!"
