Chapter 255: Long-awaited Night Raid

"Stone."

“This is a good piece.”

"Where to put it?"

"Here, it's done."

On the lawn beside the fish pond, Li Luo and others were playing in the snow.

Most of the snow in the village was trampled dirty by people, or shoveled clean by the villagers themselves.

So if you want to play in the snow, you can only go outside the village.

There are many people coming to the fish pond to play in the snow.

Many of them are children from the village.

Li Luo brought three girls, plus Li Xiang and two sisters, and called Jin Yuting and Zhao Rongjun on the way. Nine people came here in a mighty manner.

Looking at the half-human-height snowman that had just been completed in front of him, Li Luo put his hands on his waist, exhaled, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Give it a name?" Li Luo looked around and asked them.

Ying Chanxi laughed and said, "Let's name the snowman you built Li Luo."

As she said that, she threw the snowball she had just made in her hand. It hit the snowman's forehead accurately, knocking out an eyeball made of stone, turning it into a one-eyed snowman.

Li Xiang, who was watching this scene, got so scared that his eyes jumped.

But Yan Zhusheng, who was standing next to him, had already stuffed the stones he had not used up into the box and replaced the eyeballs for "Li Luo".

"When did they come?" Zhao Rongjun came close to Li Luo and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Looking at the lineup full of women, Zhao Rongjun would have been embarrassed to look at it for even a second if Li Luo hadn't insisted on dragging him out of the house to move around.

"We just got here today." Li Luo said, "We will stay here for a few days. Xixi and I will take them around to play."

"Why does it feel like you four have never been separated?" Zhao Rongjun muttered softly.

In his memory, during the past six months or so, basically every time he was called out by Li Luo, he was with the three girls.

So much so that Zhao Rongjun was almost used to it.

When Zhao Rongjun saw Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu appear for the first time in the afternoon, he didn't even feel surprised.

"The snowman is ready, let's have a snowball fight now." Li Luo laughed and said, "There are nine of us, rock-paper-scissors, three people in a group."

As he spoke, Li Luo asked everyone to form a circle. After playing rock-paper-scissors to divide the camps, Li Luo was assigned to a group with Yan Zhusheng and Li Xiang.

Ying Chanxi was with Jin Yuting and Zhao Rongjun.

Xu Youyu, Chen Lu and Chen Sijia.

The brutal war started.

The three camps each chose a snowy area as their base, and after simply stockpiling some ammunition, they launched an attack on the others.

Zhao Rongjun was not a very assertive person and was too embarrassed to throw snowballs at others, so he quietly provided ammunition support in the rear and squatted on the ground to make snowballs.

Ying Chanxi was extremely brave. With a snowball in each hand, he rushed to Li Luo's formation and hit him twice on the forehead.

Li Luo was not willing to be outdone, and immediately fought back with the snowball handed to him by Yan Zhusheng.

The two sides fought fiercely.

But Li Xiang found that it seemed to have nothing to do with him... because Ying Chanxi only hit Li Luo, and Jin Yuting saw this and also threw Li Luo, and no one came to throw him at all.

On the other side, Xu Youyu's camp was chatting and laughing with his two sisters. He made a few snowballs and threw them symbolically at the battlefield between Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, watching the show from the sidelines the whole time.

Chen Lu was originally still worried about Xixi's future, but now he was happily chatting with Xu Youyu.

The two people's personalities are very compatible. Chen Lu originally thought that he would have nothing in common with a girl who was seven or eight years younger than him, but he did not expect Xu Youyu to have a very mature and cheerful personality.

There wasn't much of a generation gap when we started chatting.

They played happily for the entire afternoon, and when it was almost time for dinner, everyone headed towards the village.

On the road.

Li Luo touched his face and said to Ying Chanxi speechlessly: "You are too cruel. You hit me in the face every time."

"I'm not a professional, I just happened to hit it." Ying Chanxi snorted, "Or maybe you caught it well."

"It seems like you have a lot of complaints about me. Why don't you throw Zhu Sheng or Li Xiang?"

"Don't you keep throwing me too?"

The two of them quarreled all the way and finally returned home.

Lin Xiuhong had already prepared the meal, and there were still two tables of people like at noon.

But at night, the adults at the table started drinking and bragging.

Li Xuexian actually brought a guitar from Chen Yongqi's bedroom. When they were almost done eating, she smiled and put it into Li Luo's hand: "I heard from them that you are the guitarist of your school band? Why don't you perform for us?"

Li Luo didn't mind. After taking the guitar, he looked at the elders with a smile and raised his chin towards his father: "Dad, please choose a song."

"Come on, friend." Li Guohong clinked glasses with Ying Zhicheng next to him and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

So Li Luo started to play.

"These years, I've been alone~"

"The wind blows and the rain goes away~"

Li Luo began to sing in a low voice, and the table suddenly became quiet, shaking their heads to the rhythm of Li Luo.

Until the climax came, Li Guohong and other grown men immediately started singing along.

"Friends will be together forever!"

“Those days are no more!”

Even Ying Zhicheng, who usually had little emotional fluctuation, was infected by this atmosphere and sang along with Li Guohong while he was hugged on the shoulders.

It was clearly just a simple meal and drinks, but it was turned into a KTV.

They requested songs and Li Luo sang. When he sang parts that everyone knew, it soon became a chorus.

Xu Youyu clapped his hands nearby, immersed in the lively atmosphere, experiencing a feeling that he had rarely experienced when celebrating the New Year at home before, and found it very fresh.

When night came, it was time to enjoy the mahjong game again.

This time, Lin Xiuhong and the others also gave up their seats.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng sat down opposite each other, and then Chen Lu and Chen Sijia filled the vacant seats.

Xu Youyu sat next to Chen Lu, eating melons and watching the show, cracking melon seeds while watching them play mahjong.

Li Luo continued to stay with Yan Zhusheng and taught her how to fight.

Chen Yongqi had already slipped back to play games, leaving Li Xiang alone standing aside, watching the turbulent situation, undercurrents, and flashes of swords and sabers at the mahjong table.

Fortunately, it was already past eight o'clock when we finished dinner.

After playing mahjong until about ten o'clock, everyone dispersed.

Ying Chanxi hugged Yan Zhusheng's arm and said affectionately, "Zhusheng, let's go back. We should take a shower and go to bed."

Li Xiang looked at this scene and thought to himself that the scene where Ying Chanxi had to touch the cards even if he had broken a straight and blocked Yan Zhusheng from drawing the cards, could it be his hallucination?

How come we became good sisters again after playing mahjong?
However, he didn't have much time to think about it. After returning to their respective homes, Li Luo and Xu Youyu went upstairs.

Then Xu Youyu sighed, and Li Luo asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"I have to go back to my room and write."

"...I remember you had five chapters saved?"

"It's almost used up..." Xu Youyu said a little guiltily.

"Didn't you say last time that you would take a day off and not renew on New Year's Eve? How come you can still use it up?" Li Luo looked confused.

"I used two chapters on the first day of the new year, two chapters on the second day, and one chapter today, so I have to update one more chapter." Xu Youyu said with a look of resentment, "And considering that I have to play with you guys during the day tomorrow, I have to write one more chapter in the evening to be safe."

"...You've worked so hard." Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The bathroom is over here. I'll take a shower first. Do you want to take a shower later?"

"You want me to take a shower with you?" Xu Youyu winked at him and smiled ambiguously, "It's not impossible."

Li Luo squinted at her and said, "I think you'd better start typing."

"Tsk, boring." Xu Youyu curled his lips, then looked around and confirmed that Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were both in the master bedroom and had not come out. Then he quietly stretched out a hand and grasped Li Luo's right hand.

"What are you doing?!"

"Let's collect material. Don't move." Xu Youyu not only held hands, but also took the initiative to push Li Luo to the wall at the door of the master bedroom when passing by. He leaned into his arms and whispered, "It just so happens that the heroine goes to the protagonist's house. What do you think about me writing something exciting?"

Li Luo felt the softness in his arms, his breathing became a little rapid, and he thought of his parents in the bedroom behind the wall. Suddenly, he felt his scalp tingling and his whole body felt as if it had been electrocuted.

"Have you finished taking it?"

"In a little while, you have to take the initiative to hug me, otherwise it won't feel right."

"……so?"

"Okay~ I won't tease you anymore." Xu Youyu let go of Li Luo, took a half step back, looked at him with a smile, and then retreated to his bedroom. Before closing the door, he winked at him, "Charging is complete, I'm going to go write first~"

Watching Xu Youyu return to his bedroom and close the door, Li Luo took a deep breath.

Before he could recover, the door of the master bedroom was suddenly opened.

Lin Xiuhong poked her head out suspiciously and asked doubtfully, "Was there a sound just now? Were you talking to Youyu?"

"Ah... um... we chatted for a while, and she just went back to her room." Li Luo was startled, but soon calmed down, looked away guiltily, and walked towards the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower."

……

11pm.

Li Luo finished his shower and lay on the bed, getting ready to go to sleep.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of light footsteps coming from the door.

Then there were three knocks on the door, so soft that they were almost inaudible.

Li Luo blinked, almost thinking he had heard it wrong.

Then he looked at the time again and thought that it was still early in the morning. Why did the senior sister come here instead of writing properly at this time?

Didn't it say that charging is complete?
Is the energy consumption of typing so high?

Thinking this in his mind, Li Luo still walked to the door and opened it.

Then he saw Yan Zhusheng standing at the door, looking up at him.

"good evening."

"...Is this the time for good evening?" Li Luo looked at her with a frown on his face, "How did you get here?"

"Xixi said she wanted to go to bed early. Let's go for a morning run together at six o'clock tomorrow." Yan Zhusheng said with a blink.

"Don't talk about other things. I'm asking how you got here." Li Luo was speechless. "I remember locking the door at night."

"It's connected to the rooftop upstairs." Yan Zhusheng said in a low voice.

“You know this too?”

"I walked all the way before I found this road."

Li Luo's mouth twitched, and he thought, are you here to be a spy?
It was a night raid launched in the middle of the night.

Just when Li Luo was complaining in his heart, the door of the master bedroom diagonally opposite was opened.

Li Luo, who originally wanted Yan Zhusheng to go back to sleep, immediately grabbed her and dragged Yan Zhusheng into the house.

Li Guohong, who was out of the bathroom, heard the noise and looked at Li Luo's door in confusion: "Why don't you close the door when you sleep?"

"I just finished using the bathroom." Li Luo responded, then immediately closed the door and locked it, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

When he turned around, he found that Yan Zhusheng had already crawled into his bed and was leaning against the wall, looking at him.

Li Luo almost laughed out of anger. He put his hands on his waist and was about to say something when he saw Yan Zhusheng patting the quilt: "Li Luo, let's watch a movie together."

"I think you'd better go back to sleep."

"Have you used my computer to watch movies with others recently?" Yan Zhusheng asked innocently.

This question stumped Li Luo immediately, and for a moment he was a little embarrassed to answer.

After all, Yan Zhusheng had said before that he was not allowed to watch movies with others using his laptop...

Li Luo had forgotten about Ying Chanxi coming to his room before.

But Yan Zhusheng was not finished yet, and continued to ask: "Where are the gloves I gave you?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo immediately looked down, and then he remembered that because he had specially changed into the pair given by Ying Chanxi when setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve, the gloves given by Yan Zhusheng were placed in the house.

After that, I went to my grandfather's house and came back this morning. He forgot to change one.

Yan Zhusheng didn't want him to answer, but tilted his head and continued to ask: "Where are the sneakers I gave you?"

After asking these three questions, even Li Luo was sweating profusely.

So he had no choice but to sigh, go to bed with his laptop, and find a movie to turn on.

"Look, look, remember to get up early tomorrow."

……

And just when Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng started watching the movie.

Ying Chanxi was curled up in bed, holding his phone and staring at the comment section of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", looking at a post that was posted this afternoon.

[Sister Kicks Me]: I suddenly realized that Mo Qinghan is the eternal god! Qingmei is really a little vulnerable in front of her. I was abrupt before, but now I finally found the real version answer!

Looking at this fence-sitter who had betrayed him again, Ying Chanxi was furious.

I thought I had high hopes for you before, but you defected again after just a few days!

Ying Chanxi gritted his teeth, tapped the screen of his mobile phone, and sent out a series of soul-searching questions, angrily denouncing the other party's vile behavior.

As a result, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. Ying Chanxi flipped through several chapters and found the sweet interaction between the protagonist and Shen Dongdong. He kept reading until two or three o'clock in the morning before falling into a deep sleep.

And next door.

At half past five in the morning.

The alarm clock set by Li Luo rang on time.
