Chapter 312: New Year Pictures
About chapter title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year_picture
Used as decoration during the Lunar New Year.
In a historical town like City K, it was indeed very fitting to hold traditional Chinese New Year activities.
The city’s streets and alleys were already put up with decorations and lanterns, and various New Year markets attracted citizens buying New Year goods. Almost everyone wore expressions of joy from reunion and abundance.
As the New Year approached, the number of guests at the hotel was dwindling. Wei Dong suspected that their own group of ten might be the only ones staying there on New Year’s Eve.
To conserve energy for entering the painting on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went to bed early on the Eve. This was likely the most special New Year’s Eve each of them had ever experienced.
Because they couldn’t sleep soundly, many of them were awakened by the fireworks and firecrackers in the middle of the night. Once woken, it was hard to fall back asleep. The outside world’s festive joy only made them feel even more desolate.
Just like that, they drifted in and out of sleep, with a jumble of dreams throughout the night.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone gradually got up before dawn. Shao Ling looked at the chilly yet lively dawn outside the window and murmured, “If I were back home for New Year, I’d be getting up at this time for New Year greetings.”
