The fireworks lasted for a fleeting moment.

Wang Qian and Li Kun had purchased a number of fireworks with the scholarship money they received, but it still wasn't enough. Everyone was left wanting more.

Fireworks were so beautiful, even with more money, it wouldn't have been enough.

They used the car's headlights as a light source, but they didn't want to keep them on for too long because the batteries would die and the car wouldn't start.

”That's it? No more?” Snowy Lionet disappointingly pawed at the plastic bag that contained the fireworks. ”I've said it before, poor, stingy men aren't dependable.”

Richard sat on Zhang Zian's shoulder and screeched, ”Pi, it's all your fault! We all set off the fireworks one by one, you were the only one who set off two at once.”

”Zhi zhi.” Pi shrunk its neck. It had so much fun earlier, each hand waved around a sparkler. Richard was jealous, and hated the fact that it wasn't born with two beaks or else he could've done the same.

Thankfully it didn't grow two beaks, one was already unbearably noisy.

It was no fun to bully Pi since it couldn't argue back. It flew back to Zhang Zian and used its wings to pat his head.”Ga! Did you see what I wrote in the air earlier?”

Zhang Zian didn't fall into his trap. ”Didn't see anything.”

”Ga! Forget it. Let's go back. I'm about to turn into an ice sculpture.” Richard usually wouldn't have let Zhang Zian off so easily, but its wings were almost frozen. It dived into Zhang Zian's hoodie, and quickly wrapped itself.

Zhang Zian grabbed the iron bucket, and threw the water on the firework remains to extinguish any lingering sparks. He put the bucket back in the trunk while the elfins made their way into the car.

”It's cold! Quick, turn on the air-conditioner thing!” Fina leapt into the front seat, and used its paws to fiddle with the vents, but no warm air came out.

Zhang Zian started the engine. ”Just wait…” He paused when he noticed a white and green stain on the windshield.

Richard cried, ”What blind bird actually pooped on the car? If I ever meet that bird, I'll make it regret it ever messed with us!”

”What kind of bird poops on a car in the middle of the night?” Zhang Zian asked.

”Well, there's quite a few! There's owls, Night Herons, bats, basically every nocturnal bird. Speaking of, I think I saw a Night Heron flying above us earlier, that must be it!” Richard looked in all directions. ”Let me think, which direction did it fly in.” It widened its eyes, as if it could see something in the dark.

It was too serious, an extreme contrast to how it usually was, it made Zhang Zian certain that it was Richard's bird waste.

”First of all, bats aren't birds. Second of all, since when does Binhai city have Night Herons? Why haven't I seen them before?” Zhang Zian asked coldly.

Richard stared at the night sky, and tried to think of an excuse. Zhang Zian grabbed its neck, threw it into the bucket, and placed it upside-down in the trunk next to Famous.

”Ga! You b*stard!” Richard pecked at the bucket. ”What evidence do you have that it was me? Do you know that this is illegal imprisonment? Read me my bird rights. I'm going to the General Assembly of the United Nation for Bird Rights to sue you, and you're going to be in so much trouble! This is an international incident, a diplomatic dispute, are you aware of that?”

Zhang Zian closed the trunk and wiped the bird waste from the windshield before he returned to the driver's seat. As he drove back to the city, he thanked God he didn't use the windshield wipers or the entire front windshield would be dirty.

It was a little more than a hour since they left the police dog nursing home, so it was almost 8 pm. Ning Lan and her classmates had also left the nursing home, they might even be home already.

He turned on the AC, and as the temperature rose, Fina complained less.

”New year rings amidst the firecrackers bellow, warm in cottages as the spring wind blows,” Old Time Tea sang as it looked at the road and listened to the firecrackers.

Zhang Zian smiled. ”Old Time Tea, now isn't the best time. Wait until midnight, that's the best time for fireworks. Last time, it was so loud you couldn't even hear the TV.”

Usually, the second it hit 8 pm on New Year's Eve, families sat together in front of the TV to watch the New Year's Gala on the CCTV channel. However, with the advancement of technology, New Year's Eve was no longer as significant as it used to be. Teenagers now were often seen by the road in groups, enjoying nightlife.

Zhang Zian parked the car right outside the pet store, turned off the engine, and got out the car. He took down the piece of paper that he had previously stuck on the doors before he opened it to let the elfins in the store. After he locked the car and closed the doors, he realized he forgot Richard. He went back out and brought in the bucket, or else Richard would've froze to death.

The doors and windows of the store were shut all day, so even though the heat wasn't on, the temperature inside was much warmer than outside.

Fina was the first to run in the store, and it flung two heat pads at Zhang Zian's feet, which was her way of asking him to stuff them into the cat tree for her.
