Chapter 670: Disturbance

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was a tradition to stay awake during Chinese New Year's Eve.The entire family stayed together until the first light of the New Year shone through the window, and the figurative ceremony of waving goodbye to the old year and hello to the new year was completed.

Of course, pulling an allnighter wasn't healthy. Nowadays, very few people stayed up the entire night. Most stayed awake until midnight, then went to sleep after the fireworks dwindled down.

In fact, Fina, Snowy Lionet, Richard and Famous fell asleep before midnight. Only Old Time Tea, Galaxy and Pi stayed awake.

Old Time Tea just drank two cups of hot tea. The caffeine in the tea made it restless. It wanted to celebrate a modern New Year, so it stayed in front of the TV and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

Galaxy was playing with the kittens.

Pi was too excited about its surprisingly good numbers to fall asleep. It constantly refreshed the author's main page, each click made it more and more awake.

Today, Zhang Zian worked at the shop, dug a hole, buried a dog, and took the elfins on an outing. Although he didn't feel it earlier, the fatigue of his busy day overwhelmed him and he was asleep by the table before midnight.

Bang!

A huge firework was set off not too far away, and woke Zhang Zian up.

Fireworks were prohibited in the city. However, some people still pushed their luck, especially on New Year's Eve.

Zhang Zian wiped his face and looked around. Most of the elfins were asleep, but, just like him, awoke because of the firework. Galaxy went to the baby's crib, while Old Time Tea yawned, turned off the TV, and walked upstairs.

Pi still stared at the website, its glasses reflected the light from the screen

All of a sudden, the deafening sound of fireworks came from everywhere in the city.

Zhang Zian didn't need to look at the clock to know that it was midnight. The old year was gone and the new year had arrived.

”Pi, go to sleep,” he whispered. ”You won't have the energy to write new stories tomorrow if you don't go to sleep.”

Pi nodded, turned off the computer, and jumped into the hammock. It didn't close its eyes, it just gazed at the ceiling with a silly smile.

Zhang Zian was ready to go back to sleep. He might be the only one in the shop tomorrow. He turned off the lights and was about to lie down when he saw two pairs of eyes in the dark, one pair green and the other yellow.

”What's that sound?” Old Time Tea asked. ”Did you hear that?”
