Bab 616: Slander

Early in the morning, Zhang Zian was once again startled awake by the distant sound of firecrackers. It was the week before Chinese New Year, so people were using firecrackers more and more.

Even people with bad hearing would be able to hear the noise, so, of course, the elfins were startled too. Galaxy leapt out the crib, silently waved good morning to Zhang Zian, opened the bedroom doors and went downstairs to play with the kittens. Pi yawned and stretched before he going to the swivel chair to turn on the computer.

The other elfins awoke too, but they wanted to keep sleeping as it was still too early and there was nothing for them to do even if they did get out of bed.

Zhang Zian got dressed, walked over to the window, pulled the curtains open, and looked outside. It snowed again last night, so the streets were covered with white, making the day brighter than usual.

He saw an electric rickshaw stop right in front of Li's Supreme Snack Bar's.
