Chapter 54: Chinese New Year

Shi Qingyang thought a lot, but now he was just a low-level rad-warrior who had just reached level-2 in Spark City. He was thinking too much in this capacity, and if others knew what he was thinking of, they’d probably just think it funny.

However, though he couldn’t do anything in his identity as Shi Qingyang, he could still act under the name of ‘I don’t want to starve’. As soon as he returned to the city, Shi Qingyang went online to find Cheng Xuze and asked him to help find out who the Yin family had been sent out of the city.

Shi Qingyang rarely asked Cheng Xuze to do anything. When he suddenly asked the other party to do this, Cheng Xuze could not help feeling: “Master, you are very kind to Shi Qingyang.” After ‘I don’t want to starve’ drove and exposed the faults of Huofeng Company’s new vehicle, he couldn’t possibly someone living in Spark City, as he said before. He must be doing it all for Shi Qingyang.

Can you be bad to yourself? Shi Qingyang lightly typed out a line of words: “After all, he is my disciple.”

“Master, you are so dedicated to your apprentice that I want to be your apprentice. Take me!” Cheng Xuze said. He was a level-8 rad-warrior, but when they communicated normally, I don’t want to starve could clearly identify the problems he encountered. He had suspected that the other side was a level-9 master more than once, and he didn’t feel ashamed to be the other side’s disciple.

Maybe there was more than one level-9 master in the country, but one was a master who was persecuted… No, which persecuted person could drive the Huofeng Company’s armored vehicle?

Or was he still wrong? Of those old fellows with abilities, were there any who still played with tanks? He even discovered a problem that only occurred when driving at the highest speed…

What’s more, the people who bought the 100 armored vehicles were all under the age of 50. Could it be that some old guy secretly drove his son’s or grandson’s car out to play and found the problem? Because he drove it secretly, he was embarrassed to tell the people of Huofeng Company directly, and finally, he had to say it online…

Shi Qingyang always chose to change topics when it came to questions he couldn’t answer: “There is one more thing regarding the mobile fortress. The radiation protection function of the mobile fortress must be strengthened.” After Liu Qilin mentioned the harsh environment of the mobile town, the first thing Shi Qingyang thought of was Cheng Ran, who couldn’t stand any radiation.

“I know. This is for Shi Qingyang. If you give it to Shi Qingyang, my grandson will still use it. Of course I should prepare it well, heh heh.” Cheng Xuze’s face showed a proud smile.

Shi Qingyang tried to ignore the expression of Cheng Xuze on the other side. He thought a little and decided to continue to be a good “master”: “You know, my apprentice should be pursuing your grandson.”

He and Cheng Ran have been in love for more than a year, but because Gu Changjin was always there at all times, now they had only reached the level of holding hands and kissing on the cheek. They could have gone to sleep together, but he knew that Cheng Ran became shy again…

The expression on Cheng Xuze’s face instantly froze. There had been too many things in Yangtze City for more than a year. Cheng Hui ran out of the city every once in a while to “pull weeds” for the production of the Almighty Elixir in the pharmaceutical factory. Naturally, he couldn’t go anywhere else, so he didn’t go to Spark City again. He just kept in touch with his grandchildren and people in Spark City on the Internet from time to time.

Because of this, his impression of Cheng Ran still stayed on the simple child from more than a year ago. On the contrary, when it came to Shi Qingyang… More than a year ago, Shi Qingyang was very clever. He had always liked such ambitious young people as they reminded him of who he used to be, but this didn’t mean that he was willing to let Shi Qingyang be his grandson-in-law, let alone with Cheng Ran who was a simple child who knew nothing.

“Master, you mean…”

“I said, my apprentice is after your grandson,” Shi Qingyang said directly, deciding to help pave the road in advance to get the grandfather on his side.

As for Cheng Ran’s father, there was no need to deal with him. Just ignore him.

“Xiao Ran, isn’t he a little younger?” Cheng Xuze thought of his tender grandson again.

“Exactly, two months younger than Shi Qingyang,” Shi Qingyang typed a line of words.

“Only two months younger?” Cheng Xuze muttered to himself. If he hadn’t been on a video call and didn’t want to lose face in front of Not Starving, he would have wanted to find a sandbag to vent.

As for now… Cheng Xuze smiled awkwardly: “Haha, I don’t know anything about the young man…” In front of I don’t want to starve, he can’t say anything, but when he went back, he must ask Cheng Ran about this.

In fact, if Cheng Ran liked Shi Qingyang, it didn’t matter if they were together. After all, Shi Qingyang had a good master and he wasn’t inferior to Cheng Ran. He was just afraid that his grandson wasn’t enlightened, and would be abducted in the end.

“Yes, let the young people solve their own problems.” After giving Cheng Xuze a vaccination regarding the romantic relationship, Shi Qingyang was in a good mood.

Cheng Xuze couldn’t wait to contact Cheng Ran after stopping the communication.

“Grandpa, what’s going on?” Cheng Ran asked when he saw the appearance of Cheng Xuze on the contact terminal.

“Xiao Ran, grandpa has something to ask you.” Cheng Xuze hesitated for a moment. Facing his grandson, he finally decided to ask directly, “Xiao Ran, is Shi Qingyang pursuing you?”

“No,” Cheng Ran said directly.

My grandson doesn’t know yet? Cheng Xuze breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say that it wasn’t good to engage in puppy love, but he didn’t expect Cheng Ran to say: “I was pursuing Shi Qingyang, and Shi Qingyang agreed.”

“Er…”

“Grandpa, the new year is Shi Qingyang’s birthday, and he will be 18 years old. What gift do you think I should give him? When I turn 18 years old, we can go to get a marriage certificate…” Cheng Ran was instructed by Shi Qingyang about relationship matters. He knew that he couldn’t talk to Gu Changjin about falling in love, and he didn’t know who to ask. Now when he met Cheng Xuze, he had some interest.

“You don’t have to hurry to get the certificate…” Cheng Xuze was speechless, but on second thought, he was happy again.

His grandson pursued Shi Qingyang first and was thinking about getting engaged… Indeed, he deserved to be his grandson! And when his grandson snagged Shi Qingyang, I don’t want to starve would be his son’s generation.

Cheng Xuze saw his grandson’s bright eyes, and his whole heart was relieved. As long as Cheng Ran liked him, Shi Qingyang was also a good choice.

With this in mind, Cheng Xuze simply talked about matters with his grandson…

Two days later, it was time to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Many scholars had studied the ancient Chinese New Year traditions, and now everyone could follow some of those ancient traditions, such as setting off firecrackers.

However, today’s cities were all shrouded in protective covers, and the air in the city needed to be filtered. Of course, it was impossible to set off firecrackers in the city, so in the end, it was changed to set off “explosives” in the whole city.

On that night, a lot of explosives were released from the bomb launcher of the protective cover to explode over the city, making the whole city bright. On that day, the flying monsters that liked light which hovered over the city every night, completely disappeared. It was really a bit like scaring away monsters with firecrackers in ancient times.

On this day, Gu Changjin made special dumplings and then used a projector in the living room to project the 3D footage of the large-scale Spring Festival Gala.

People from various cities performed at the gala, with singing and dancing, sketches, acrobatics… Shi Qingyang didn’t have much artistic skills, so he just passively watched the singing and dancing. His favorite was acrobatics, which he studied and then tried a certain action in the living room. That action was very good for fighting.

“Qingyang, come on!” Cheng Ran’s attention was all on Shi Qingyang and he clapped his hands.

Shi Qingyang smiled and was about to say something when he saw an acquaintance on TV – Feng Linqiu sitting in the audience.

Feng Linqiu was the most important child of the Feng family. His grandfather was a level-9 rad-warrior. His father also reached level-8. He was one of the most likely people to reach level-9…

“Qingyang, what’s the matter?” Cheng Ran asked curiously.

“Nothing.” Shi Qingyang smiled. He really shouldn’t have been affected by the past. The most important thing was his present life.

Cheng Ran smiled, holding a recorder and looking through the calendar, slowly going through it day by day.

“What are you looking at?” Shi Qingyang asked curiously.

“The calendar is very interesting, and contains a lot of information,” Cheng Ran said, “Qingyang, your birthday is coming soon. After your birthday, you will grow up.”

“Yes, at that time, the government won’t send any more of the relief fund…” Shi Qingyang suddenly thought of this. Because of that, in his past life he had to return to work.

“Do you still receive benefits?” Gu Changjin asked in surprise.

Cheng Ran didn’t think much, but agreed with Shi Qingyang: “Yes, it’s really a pity. Qingyang, what gift do you want?”

“Anything is fine,” Shi Qingyang said. He would already be very happy just from someone thinking about him and sending a gift.

“Then I’ll decide for myself.” Cheng Ran decided to go through the book again.

Shi Qingyang suddenly remembered something: “Xiao Ran, what do you want for your birthday?” As he said to Cheng Xuze, Cheng Ran was only two months younger than him. His birthday was February 25, but Cheng Ran’s birthday was April 25.

The last time he had his birthday, he forgot it and didn’t tell anyone. But for Cheng Ran’s birthday, he wouldn’t have known if Gu Changjin hadn’t started preparing a few days earlier.

At that time, he had nothing to give as a present. In the end, he only bought Cheng Ran a monitoring pendant with the ability to monitor his physical condition. When he felt unwell, it would take the initiative to notify people around him and contact the paramedics. This time, he wanted to ask for Cheng Ran’s advice.

Cheng Ran had been thinking about getting married on his birthday. At this time, his eyes brightened: “Would a ring be good?”

Gifting a ring would have a really different meaning… Shi Qingyang smiled, wondering what kind of ring to buy. Suddenly, he was stunned by the date on the calendar.

April 25, besides Cheng Ran’s birthday, was also Feng Linqiu’s birthday.

Last time, Shi Qingyang only learned from Gu Changjin that it was Cheng Ran’s birthday a few days later. Naturally, he didn’t pay attention to it. This time, he just saw Feng Linqiu on TV and checked the date right after. After a long time, he remembered this.

At that time, Feng Linqiu said that he was just two months younger than him. Now Cheng Ran was, also…

Shi Qingyang sighed at the coincidence and wrote down the day.

On the eve of the lunar new year, the whole of Spark City was brightly lit. A few years ago, the Yin Family had always been very busy, but this year, the house where the Yin Family lived was not as decorated as before. On the contrary, it was too quiet.

The day before, the people working in the Yin Family had already taken a holiday. Today, Old Master Yin, who used to like large family gatherings, suddenly said that he needed some quiet. Finally, he only asked Yin Hao, Yin Tiancheng and his son to go to dinner with him.

As soon as Yin Hao and Yin Tiancheng left, only Yin Jinru and Yang Qiu sat opposite each other.

As for Yin Jinru, a child who didn’t come out of her belly, Yang Qiu’s previous practice was to not take him seriously. At that time, the Yang family completely depended on the Yin Family, so no matter what Yin Hao did, she didn’t take it seriously, but now…

“Little bastard, get out of here when you finish. I have no time to spend with you!” Yang Qiu looked at Yin Jinru and scolded impolitely.

Yin Jinru ate silently, as if he had been used to all this for a long time. However, he pricked up his ears to listen to Yang Qiu’s swearing and distinguish the meaning inside. Finally, when he was full, he slowly walked out and looked to the side.

Old Master Yin lived in a villa not far away. In the past, there were always bright lights. On this day, only a light was on in the living room, which looked very lonely. No one knew whether it was true or false loneliness.

Yin Jinru paused, looked back, and wisely did not go. The people in the villa monitoring room saw this scene, relaxed, and began to smoke and play cards again.

In the living room on the other side, Old Master Yin looked at his youngest son whose face had completely changed, and burst into tears: “More than a year, more than a year…”

“Dad, didn’t I come back specially for the new year? It’s really nothing to be outside.” Yin Ming smiled, his face much more handsome than before.

“What does it mean to be outside? If you are careless outside, you may lose your head!” Master Yan said sternly.

“Dad, it’s really nothing. I’m having a good time outside.” Yin Ming didn’t care: “There is everything there. People have to spend a lot of money to get in. Back then, I had to avoid some people. Isn’t that no longer a probem? If there is, I can just change my identity.”

“You must be careful.” Old Master Yin knew his younger son’s character, and finally he could only sigh.

“Dad, City Lord Li won’t give me anything to do,” Yin Ming said.

“City Lord Li isn’t easy to deal with. You should be careful,” Old Master Yin responded.

“I know, but City Lord Li only has a few people in his hands, so now we have to rely on ourselves… Dad, I have something to discuss with you about our Yin Family.”

“The Yin Family is fine now. You don’t have to worry too much.” Old Master Yin said. Although the Yin Family had been suppressed by Xing Ou for more than a year, he thought it was good to clean up the parasites attached to the Yin Family.

“How can I not worry about it? Dad, it’s too embarrassing to live like this now. I thought about it some more and still feel I have to pull down Xing Ou. Those who hurt us in the first place can’t be let go.” Yin Ming’s eyes were full of pride.

“Did you do something?” Old Master Yin asked anxiously.

“Nothing. It’s just that the woman Liu Qilin found a trace of the mobile town.” Yin Ming smiled.

“You’re crazy. If that mobile town is found…”

“Dad, it’s just a trace. If she did find something, she wouldn’t still be in this world. I just let her find something, and then I went to City Lord Li to tell him about it…” Yin Ming was a little proud.

“What did City Lord Li say?” Lord Yin asked. At the beginning, they finally asked Li Rong to calm things down. Li Rong wanted nothing else but their mobile town and private business.

Because of this, others later didn’t find anything wrong, but even so, the Yin Family lived in hard times for more than a year. His youngest son had been in the city for several days, and he even now found a chance to meet him.

“City Lord Li wants us to take Spark City.” Yin Ming’s face was proud.

Lord Yin frowned. Didn’t he know what kind of person his younger son was? Could Li Rong be led by his younger son by the nose? What an utter joke!

There was an 80% chance that Li Rong wanted to extend his reach, so he pushed the boat along the river and instigated things from behind…

However, they have all been on Li Rong’s boat. Li Rong didn’t have many people to use. There was no need to be afraid that Li Rong will sell them. And if they could succeed in the end…
