Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

We won't go into the extent of the shock that Lu Yu brought to Yuan Gang and his group.

After explaining everything here, when Yuan Gang tried to inquire about the other gods, Lu Yu said, "I can't just say it," and dragged Lin Qiye and the others out of the office.

"So why did you come to my house?"

Lu Yu finally had the chance to ask the question. She had prepared so thoroughly, but Lin Qiye still came.

"I would like to invite you to my house to celebrate the New Year together."

Lin Qiye sighed. Of his friends, only Baili Pangpang's family was still alive but couldn't go back. The other three were all orphans. How could he possibly bear it?

Lin Qiye checked the time; it was already very late. He should hurry home so he could catch the fireworks during the New Year's Eve vigil.

"Let's go, Lu Yu, and Fatty too! Since we're all friends, we can't forget you no matter what we do!"

Lin Qiye smiled and tugged at Shen Qingzhu's sleeve: "Brother Zhai, it's more fun to get together during the New Year. You're not going to run away, are you?"

Shen Qingzhu, who had just stretched out her front foot: Six points.

Finally, Lu Yu made the final decision: "Anyway, my house has been blown up, and I need to move into my other house and clean it. While I'm waiting, why don't I go to Qi Ye's house for a while?"

"Great! I've been wanting to visit Nanaya's house for a long time!"

Cao Yuan calmly nodded: "I will follow everyone's arrangements."

Shen Qingzhu was grabbed by the clothes and had no chance to escape. She could only get into the car that Hongying had driven to take them back with a sour face.

Unfortunately, the snow in Cangnan City was too heavy, and they drove rather slowly along the way, causing Lin Qiye and his group to miss the fireworks display.

By the time I got home, the fireworks display was already over, and the New Year's bells had long since rung.

Auntie was very happy to welcome her children's good friends. Especially when she saw Lu Yu with her long, snow-white hair, unlike the other older women who looked at her with strange eyes, she smiled gently and said:

"You have such beautiful hair color. You must be Lu Yu, right? Qi Ye mentioned when he came back that you were the one who persuaded him to bring home a gift, right?"

Lu Yu glanced sideways at Lin Qiye, who guiltily touched his nose.

what happened?

Isn't it just that you changed your advice to persuade me to go home to bringing me a gift?

Lu Yu turned to her bewildered aunt with a bright smile, clearly the most well-behaved child in the eyes of elders during the New Year: "Auntie has such good taste! I think it looks good too!"

She peeked out and asked, "I remember Qi Ye said he had a younger brother. Where is he?"

Where is the young version of Erlang Shen?! She wants to see it! She wants to see it!

"You mean Xiao Jin? He went to visit a friend in the same neighborhood, he should be back a little later."

After explaining the situation, Auntie asked Lin Qiye to entertain his friends while she went into the kitchen to prepare some fruit.

After waiting for a while without Yang Jin returning, Lu Yu had no choice but to stand on the balcony where the other guys were: "Why don't you guys go inside?"

Cao Yuan honestly replied, "...I'm not very good at interacting with elders..."

The other two also looked embarrassed.

Baili Tuming looked at the night sky with some regret. The fireworks display had ended a while ago, and the smoke in the sky had completely dissipated.

"What a pity, I didn't get to see the full fireworks display..."

"yes……"

Lin Qiye walked over from behind the group: "This fireworks display is the first one since the ban on fireworks in Cangnan was lifted."

It's a pity, we only saw the tail end.

Lu Yu, who was standing nearby, suddenly laughed: "Who said we can't see it?"

Baili Pangpang the groundhog looked up: "Little fish, don't tell me you have a way!"

Lu Yu said proudly, "Who am I? I'm Doraemon the Fish, of course I have a way!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand in front of the group and snapped her fingers silently in mid-air.

Everyone:...

Lu Yu: ...

Lu Yu: "Ahem...unexpected! I'm not very good at this~"

She reluctantly withdrew her hand, instead patting it against her chest with a crisp sound, and chuckled as she said, "Look at the sky!"

[Hint: The skill "[Better late than never, you can't fool me]" has been successfully used. 2/3 of the uses have been completed.]

"Although the New Year's fireworks are over, I can still give everyone a private fireworks show."

The girl looked up at the medal patterns made up of different colors in the sky, her smile, reflected in the fireworks, filled with blessings and expectations for the future:

"These are fireworks that belong only to the night watchmen..."

The sounds of children's excited shouts and laughter coming from downstairs were the sounds of excitement over the second fireworks display.

The adults walked behind and quietly reminded the children to watch their step.

The sound of my aunt washing fruit in the kitchen abruptly stopped; she seemed to have been drawn in by the sound of fireworks too…

In the quiet night, where only the sound of explosions could be heard in the air, everything felt so real and vibrant.

Suddenly, a phone rang, but no one knew whose it was.

Everyone looked at Lin Qiye, who picked up his phone and answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, Hongying's cheerful voice came from the other end:

"Seven Nights, little brother, hurry and go to the balcony with Xiaoyu to look at the sky! I couldn't get through to her on the phone, you two go and check!"

There's another fireworks display! Didn't we miss it before? It's still pretty good to see it now!

Happy New Year, Qiye! Has your shooting improved?

Lin Qiye's face darkened: "Brother Leng, is there really no need to ask this?"

A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Happy New Year, Seven Nights.

This is Si Xiaonan, who is expressing her blessings with unprecedented joy: "And Xiaoyu, remember to tell her that the new year will definitely get better and better."

Chen Muyi came out of the kitchen carrying the braised pork ribs he had cooked, and several adults and children gathered around him.

He slapped away Hongying's hand, which was trying to steal a bite, and said gently into the phone, "Happy New Year, Qiye, Xiaoyu."

Finally, Zhao Kongcheng's loud voice could be heard even from a distance: "Kid, Happy New Year!"

He seemed to ponder for a while before speaking softly, "And Lu Yu, she saved my life. I'm deeply grateful, so please feel free to ask me for anything you need in the future!"

The girl smiled.

Actually, the fact that you can send us your blessings from the other end of the phone is the best way to repay us.

General Zhao...

Lin Qiye was silent for a few seconds, then smiled purely: "Yes..."

His voice grew increasingly ethereal, like the white snow outside.

"Happy New Year, everyone."

Lu Yu didn't say anything after the call ended.

The girl simply bowed her head and called out:

"make a wish."

The entire picture was depicted in her azure eyes:

"We must become teammates in the future!"

Cao Yuan spoke weakly:

"If you say your wish, it won't work."

"Oh dear! This is the time to ask you all to make my wishes come true! Aladdin's lamps!"

"oh oh……"

Lin Qiye chuckled and lunged forward, trying to pry open the turtle shell: "This was clearly my idea... Lu Yu, you stole my lines!"

"Ahhh... Seven Nights! Are you drinking fake alcohol? You've pounced on the wrong person! I'm Fatty! Your beloved Fatty!"

"Ahhh! Bodyguard! Bodyguard! Help!"

Shen Qingzhu snorted: "The bodyguard's view is blocked by Lu, so he can't see."

"You heartless jerk!!!"

The children downstairs were laughing and talking, while those upstairs were dreaming about the future.

Regardless of what the future holds, and regardless of whether they will end up like the captain of the Suzhou team...

They're still here, and they can become even stronger; they just need to keep moving forward...

"The first New Year in this world! Happy New Year, Yan Zhe!"

The girl's cheerful voice echoed in my mind.

The system froze for a second, then blinked and returned to normal:

Happy New Year, Lu Yu.

"You haven't called me a fiction writer in ages..."

Although the name sounds a bit cringey, it actually sounds quite nice once you get used to it...

[...]

The system fell silent, seemingly unable even to calculate an accurate answer.

"Okay... if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. It's been half a year, and I'm not like before who likes to dwell on things..."

Lu Yu eventually learned to let go of her anxiety.

It was as if one day she suddenly understood Tongtian's words.

She shouldn't have been hindered by troubles; she should have been able to do whatever she wanted.

Smoke and flames raged, and so did the youth.
