As the sun began to set, most of the guests on the guest list had arrived.

Even Ye Gongmei, who was rarely seen on ordinary days, had been invited out of her maple forest by Lu Jing.

Initially, Lu Jing planned to publicly claim that she was a distant cousin, but Ye Gongmei rejected this without hesitation.

The little girl with two pigtails didn't want to reveal her identity, but insisted on being a generation higher than Lu Jing.

In the end, Lu Jing could only call her 'Aunt,' but fortunately, seniority had nothing to do with age anyway.

Seeing that the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear from the horizon.

Yan Yun and Kui still hadn't appeared, so Lu Jing decided not to wait any longer, waved his hand, and told people to start serving the dishes.

As a result, just as everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks, Yan Yun arrived late.

"Sorry, I've been investigating a case, and I just finished dealing with it, so I went back to change my clothes," Yan Yun said to Lu Jing.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yang Tao only finished his work this afternoon," Lu Jing said in surprise.

With Wen Xiaochuan, the gossip loudspeaker, around, Yan Yun definitely knew which guests were at the New Year's Eve banquet tonight.

And she was still willing to come, which in itself already explained a lot.

Could it be… Lu Jing's heart began to beat faster, and he didn't dare to think any further.

At this time, everyone else's eyes fell on Xia Huai. The girl's expression remained unchanged. After a while, she took the initiative to pick up a bowl of tea and said, "Miss Yan had to rush over immediately after handling the case. She must be tired from all the running around. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Yan Yun was a little surprised, but she still took the tea that Xia Huai handed over and said, "Thank you."

This slightly bland conversation between the two women put many people's hanging hearts down, and also disappointed some people who wanted to see a good show.

Such as Ye Gongmei and Chen Hanqing.

The latter, although his ears were almost standing upright, still tried to keep a straight face, pretending that he didn't care at all, while Ye Gongmei directly yawned and said, "Boring, they didn't even fight, it's too good for my good nephew."

As a result, before she could finish her words, Lu Jing stuffed a sugar horn into her mouth.

"Aunt, eat more, you're still growing."

Ye Gongmei was furious when she heard this. She hated it the most when people treated her like a child, especially Lu Jing, who clearly knew her background. She wanted to spit out the sugar horn on the spot to prove that she was already an adult.

However, when she took a bite, her mouth was full of fragrant, soft, crisp, and sweet flavor.

Immediately, she couldn't spit it out.

Ye Gongmei finished the sugar horn in no time, and then shouted, "Why is this thing different from what I ate in the market before! It's not only more fragrant, but also not greasy."

"Because this is my secret sugar horn, made with my unique recipe," Fake Zhaozong said happily when he heard someone praise his cooking.

"Boy, you have good craftsmanship!" Ye Gongmei praised sincerely, and then said to Lu Jing, "Quick, give me a few more!"

Lu Jing saw that even if she stood up, she couldn't reach the fragrant candied fruit placed on the other end of the table, so he asked Fake Zhaozong to bring her a separate box. So Ye Gongmei began to concentrate on the desserts, and finally stopped bothering Lu Jing.

In short, this tradition is more like a joke with ghosts and gods.

After this, willow branches must be inserted on the doors and windows, and a pair of peach wood wedges must be nailed to the left and right of the gate, which are peach symbols.

And after nailing the peach symbols, it is the tradition of pasting Spring Festival couplets and door gods.

Because pasting Spring Festival couplets and door gods can block evil spirits and poor ghosts from outside the house, the people of the Si Tian Jian certainly do not believe in such ghosts and gods.

But this kind of thing is just for the sake of liveliness.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Jing has had a good Spring Festival since he came to this world.

When he was in the Qingzhu Gang before, he had to carry large packages at the pier every day, living from hand to mouth, so naturally he had no intention of celebrating any festivals.

Later, he met Gu Caiwei, and his reputation rose, and his life also improved, but in Wujiang City, he was still alone. Although he would also go to Zhang Sanfeng's mansion to give gifts during the New Year and holidays.

But he almost never stayed for dinner. It wasn't that Zhang Sanfeng couldn't bear those few pieces of meat, but that Lu Jing could always feel his loneliness more clearly when he was with his master's family.

And looking at the harmonious scene in front of him, it was easy to think of his family in his previous life.

So Lu Jing actually didn't like celebrating festivals very much.

Until this year, he had his own territory, and he was surrounded by his friends, so this year finally had some flavor.

It's a pity that the world is still not peaceful, and since learning about the existence of that dragon, Lu Jing's heart has also become heavy.

In the past, he always liked to make a fortune in silence, not competing or grabbing, and taking things as they came, thinking that if the sky fell, Guo Shaojian and Huang Jianyuan, these tall people, would hold it up first.

But now Lu Jing is not sure whether Guo Shouhuai and Si Tianjian can hold up this sky.

If one day, this world is really destroyed by a doomsday catastrophe, will he regret that he didn't try his best before?

The most important thing is that he is no longer alone now, he has many people he cares about.

And once a person has too much, he will naturally become more and more afraid of losing it.

Lu Jing looked at Wen Xiaochuan and Xia Huai, who were breathing on their hands and pasting Spring Festival couplets with him, and Yan Yun, who was practicing swordsmanship not far away, knowing that he would never want to see anything happen to them.

So, in the new year, spend more time thinking about how to slaughter that dragon that was cut into sections and packed in large and small secret realms.

Just treat it as a contingency plan, to prevent Guo Shouhuai and Si Tianjian's salvation plan from going wrong, so that they will not be helpless at that time and can only watch the world be destroyed.
