I build a city in the last days

Chapter 145 New Year's Gift
As early as the week before the Chinese New Year, Spring Festival couplets and other festive items were pasted up in Shuguang City one after another.

With the consent of Xubai and the others, the old man with good writing skills wrote Spring Festival couplets and congratulations to the residents in the commercial area of ​​Shuguang City for free.

After learning that no fee was charged, Xubai waved his hand and offered pen, ink and paper.

The old man was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

Life in the last days is too tiring and bitter, accompanied by fear and confusion about the future.

New Year's Eve night.

Aurora City has set up floating mats, and in order to prevent extreme weather such as sudden rain and snow, a canopy cloth was built on the site.

To prepare meals for more than 1000 people, He Minxing will not let He Minxing prepare alone.

In the case of voluntary registration, ten groups were temporarily formed, and ten people in each group formed a chef group.

In the afternoon, the feast began.

Xu Bai sat on the table at the front, looking at the improvised dining table, which was not neatly arranged, and was simply covered with a festive red cloth, which looked like a rural banquet before the end of the world. Interesting.

Xu Bai held the wine glass in one hand, and the microphone prepared by Jiao Nanmu in the other.

She stood up and stared at the residents who were staring at her, but in her mind she recalled the pain, survival, and helplessness of the first year of the apocalypse in her previous life.

Comparing with the current scenery, Subai is very satisfied.

This kind of satisfaction is not because of low self-demand, but because after going through the sufferings of the last days, one can understand that all this is hard-won.

"Good afternoon everyone, thank you for being alive in the last days, and thank the staff who are still working hard to guard the city gate. May our new year be prosperous and better."

After Xubai simply said a word, he greeted everyone to start eating and grilling...

In addition to being happy, some people contributed singing and dancing...

Even so, everyone consciously controlled the volume of their voices and drank some wine in small sips.

As the lord of the city, Xu Bai was naturally toasted a lot of wine. Hearing their gratitude and wishes, Xu Bai began to get a little drunk...

In order to keep himself awake enough, Xu Bai left the field first, sobered his face with cold water, and then went to the city gate to replace the city guard guarding the gate.

Su Bai pulled over their chairs, letting the cold wind blow her hair...

"Why are you here? Why don't you have fun with everyone and eat more?"

Xu Bai turned his eyes to look at Ji Heng who came over and sat down, and asked puzzledly.

"Aren't you too?" Ji Heng asked back, sitting beside her silently, with one hand in his pocket, holding the New Year's gift for Xu Bai in his palm, feeling a little uneasy for a while, hesitatingly looking for the right one. It's time to give her a gift.

Xu Bai was taken aback, "This is different."

"What's the difference?"

Xu Bai looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said with emotion: "I am the city lord, and my responsibilities are different."

Ji Heng looked at Xu Bai's fair side face, looked at her slightly tired expression, and wanted to reach out to hug her in his arms, but the hand he just raised was still defeated by Xu Bai's glance, Gently smoothes her blown hair instead.

Seeing that Ji Heng was not used to her disheveled hair, Xu Bai grabbed her hair and tied it up.

"That way you don't have to fix your hair."

"It's good that I'm guarding the city gate. You can go back there and have dinner with them. You don't have to be polite with me. You can keep watch later if you want."

In Xu Bai's understanding, when she thinks that she is eating, drinking and having fun, she can't let her residents guard the city gate on New Year's Eve. Even if the benefits during the Chinese New Year are tripled, she still hopes In the first year of the last days, they can comfortably have a New Year's Eve dinner with their relatives and friends.

Ji Heng: "..."

Xu Bai was puzzled, and Ji Heng sat beside her silently with his mouth pursed.

Xu Bai and Ji Heng didn't leave until the next morning, when the city security guards who came to take over their shifts came to work.

Ji Heng followed behind Xu Bai, and when their house separated the street, Ji Heng called out to Xu Bai who was walking a few steps ahead.

"Xubai, can you close your eyes first?"

Xu Bai frowned, feeling that Ji Heng was becoming more and more weird these days, seeing Ji Heng's insistence, and thinking of Ji Heng's usual character, Xu Bai chose to trust the other party and closed his eyes.

Most people who have lived in the last days are not willing to hand over their backs to each other, or close their eyes. No one can tell what will happen suddenly out of sight.

Her hand was gently lifted by Ji Heng, as if she was being caught in something.

Is it a bracelet?
Xu Bai guessed that she only opened her eyes when she heard Ji Heng said that she could open them.

I saw the red braided bracelet worn on her left wrist, and upon closer inspection, the bracelet was woven into a word "Fu" wrapped around it.

"new Year's gift."

"I hope you are doing well and everything is safe."

Xu Bai raised his hand, took it out from Ji Heng's, looked at the bracelet, and nodded in satisfaction, "I'm so polite, I didn't even prepare another New Year's gift for you."

Although Xu Bai loves money, he is also generous.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, every resident was given a red envelope, and Ji Heng was no exception.

But Ji Heng was the first person in Dawn City to return the gift.

"Isn't there a red envelope?" Ji Heng smiled, and patted Xu Bai's head, "Go back and rest, sweet dream."

Ji Heng turned around and walked home, restrained his smile, he was really a little unpredictable about Xu Bai's preferences, sometimes she was quite worried about him, and even this kind of worry made him feel that it was more than friendship, but Xu Bai Sometimes Bai's incomprehensible style makes him feel that Xu Bai just regards him as a friend, maybe even an ordinary resident.

Shi Qinghe has been waiting for Ji Heng to come back, he didn't even return to his room, just lying on the sofa in the living room, and woke up when he heard the door opening.

Seeing that it was Ji Heng, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, he stepped over the sofa and ran towards Ji Heng, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"What did Xubai say? Did you agree to date, or should you think about it again?"

Ji Heng looked at Shi Qinghe quietly, walked away from him without saying a word, walked to the water dispenser in the living room and poured water for himself.

"Well, it's inevitable that you will fail in chasing people. Keep it up. As long as she doesn't hate you, one day she will be moved by your heart." Seeing that Ji Heng didn't look happy, Shi Qinghe understood.

Xu Bai didn't promise him!
He spoke a few words of comfort.

"I did not say."

"Ah? Why don't you say it? If you don't say that she understands what you mean, maybe you didn't even send a gift. You worked hard all night to make it up for more than a month, and it's not bad. Why not send it?"

Ji Heng's weaving technique was learned from Shi Mu.

Every day when I have free time, I just practice with it. After throwing away a lot of knitting ropes, I finally knit such a satisfactory bracelet.
