Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

Chapter 110: Eve Wishes

(Today's song recommendation: "Re-enacting the Resignation" by Eve. I wish everyone a new year, don't be boring anymore!)

(Warning: Candy!)

The sun rises as usual today, and the morning light from this land shines from the horizon onto the growing world.

When Shen Qi slowly opened the curtains to welcome the last sunrise of the year, his heart seemed to be filled with infinite enthusiasm. After changing his clothes and washing up, he did not forget to smooth his hair, then pushed the door open and hurried to the cafeteria downstairs.

When he had chosen his breakfast and found a seat to sit down, Texas just walked into the cafeteria - maybe she got up a little later than him. Texas saw Shen Qi and greeted him with a slight smile on her face:

"Morning, any new plans?"

"New plan? Have a good rest!"

Soon, Texas also sat next to her with a plate. However, she did not rush to eat, but quietly took out the food she had prepared:

"Happy New Year, Millennium."

Shen Qi looked at what was in Texas' hand. It was an exquisite wooden comb. The patterns on the surface of the comb were finely carved and looked quite elegant - but it was somewhat inappropriate to use it to comb Shen Qi's grey hair.

"You still prepared for me?"

"There is no doubt about this."

"Well then." Shen Qi suddenly smiled and took out a box from behind. "As the person I like, there is no doubt that I have prepared it for you as well. Happy New Year, Texas."

"Thank you, Millennium."

Texas seemed relatively calm. She took the box and put it aside, preparing to go back and take a look.

"Wouldn't you like to take a look now?"

“Keep the mystery.”

Texas blinked his left eye, and Shen Qi didn't ask any questions. The two of them started to eat the breakfast in front of them.

"Who do you usually spend New Year's Eve with?"

After the gift exchange session was over, Shen Qi asked Texas a question.

"Probably, spending New Year's Eve alone."

In fact, Texas didn't care about this. She always slept normally on New Year's Eve before, and even if she was going to celebrate New Year's Eve, she would stay alone in the dormitory.

"I used to be with my comrades, looking at the stars and fireworks in the sky, and then waiting for midnight."

"What about this year? Do you want to join me?"

When Texas heard what Shen Qi said, he seemed to have guessed what he meant and asked this question.

"Ah? Actually, I did think so."

"If it's you, sure."

Texas said somewhat firmly, "I want to join you tonight, too."

"So... where shall we meet tonight?"

"Let's go to the rooftop."

Texas said softly.

------------

"Lappland, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

When Ines, who had just accepted the job and was about to start her short vacation, passed by the human resources office, she saw Lapland standing at the door with a long paper box in her hand, which seemed to contain a rolled-up poster.

"This is for Qiannian, but I always wanted to admire his expression after he opened the box."

There was a malicious smile on Lappland's face, and it was obvious that there was nothing good in it.

"I'll give it to him."

"That's fine. I'm looking forward to his expression."

Inès took the box from Lapland and then opened the door directly - she was the only one who would go in without knocking, because the person sitting inside was her host.

Shen Qi was looking at his face in the mirror - it was actually a good-looking masculine face, but this action obviously made Ines a little angry.

Ines threw the box and it fell directly onto the table in front of Shen Qi!

This scared Shen Qi, and then he saw Ines's ugly face.

"Millennium, this is a gift from Lappland."

Inès said.

Shen Qi was fine, so he took the scissors on the table and slowly cut open the box. He found that it was a poster, but it was rolled up.

"Hey, why do you look familiar?"

He slowly opened it, spread his hands and looked at it, then shouted "Fuck".

"what?"

When Ines heard Shen Qi's voice, she also moved closer to take a look, and then she instantly understood Shen Qi's reaction - this poster was clearly a picture of life in Texas!

"You're giving him this?"

Inès turned around and looked at the gloating Lapland, who was already laughing:

"Hahaha, I knew it!"

The gift that Lapland "carefully prepared" was now effective for Shen Qi. Shen Qi naturally knew her intention, so he waved his hand and said to Ines:

"Inès, close the door."

Ines listened to Shen Qi and closed the door again. Lapland was also very tactful and left with Ines.

------------

When Texas saw Shen Qi on the rooftop on the fourth floor, it was already late at night - it seemed that she was late this time.

"Good evening, Miss Texas."

Shen Qi still had that smiling expression on his face, but this time his eyes seemed to have a little more affection - after all, it was New Year's Eve, and the person he liked was right in front of him.

"There's no need to call someone Miss between friends."

"Because I want to say, you are my sweetheart."

"As you wish, Mr. Millennium."

Texas just smiled, and the usual murderous aura in her amber eyes disappeared in front of this young man - she was now beginning to like the operator in front of her.

"Qian Nian, to be honest, I used to spend New Year's Eve with my colleagues."

Texas' wolf ears twitched and he moved a little closer to him, "It's definitely a new feeling being here with you."

"Not really. I'm just a friend. I'm probably not as good as your colleagues."

"Better than them."

Texas said calmly. The two looked out from the rooftop. Although darkness had already enveloped the land, the faint fireworks and lights in the city were still beating as vividly as a heartbeat.

"Will there be fireworks here in Victoria?"

Texas was quite interested in this, "Fireworks are really common in Longmen."

"There should be some."

Shen Qi looked at the dark sky, not knowing what would happen next, just like his future, but the people and things in front of him were what he cherished the most.

"Thousand Years, make a New Year's wish."

Texas leaned next to him and said, Shen Qi didn't think much about it, and said:

"Probably... world peace."

Texas looked at Shen Qi and said slowly:

"Live a quiet life and then...find the right person."

Then, Texas slowly approached Shen Qi, tiptoed slightly, and kissed the young man gently on the fair cheek:

"Happy New Year, Millennium."

The morning is bright, but the cold is not yet gone. I will treat tomorrow as a new beginning and look at the mountains and rivers in the world with a smile.

I wish all my readers a happy New Year!
