Chapter 524 His Gift

Chapter 524: Chapter 524 His Gift

Ha Ha felt Nian Shutong’s gaze, and for the first time, he felt a bit shy as he touched his head and looked down, saying, "Ha Ha prepared a gift."

At this point, Ha Ha looked up again and said, "Former Commanders always used to give Ha Ha gifts."

"Ha Ha also wants to give gifts to good people."

From behind him, Ha Ha finally produced his gift, a box that was neither too big nor too small appeared.

Nian Shutong really hadn’t expected Ha Ha to remember to give a gift; she herself had only prepared red envelopes, so receiving gifts from everyone was a pleasant surprise.

She was truly filled with curiosity about Ha Ha’s gift, so she opened it immediately.

"It’s made by Ha Ha himself."

Nian Shutong took out the gift from inside: it was a fan.

A fan made of feathers, colorful and beautiful.

"Ha Ha, where did you find so many feathers?"

Ha Ha chuckled and said, "There are wild chicken’s, and also Big Bird’s and Qicai’s."

Upon hearing these names, Nian Shutong really wanted to laugh; Ha Ha was definitely the "least favorite" person among birds.

It seemed that the first time Ha Ha saw Big Bird, he wanted to pluck its feathers, but was stopped by Nian Shutong at the time.

Unexpectedly, after so long, Ha Ha had still managed to get his hands on some.

"Thank you, Ha Ha, I really like it; it’s very beautiful."

Nian Shutong’s approval made Ha Ha laugh heartily, thinking to himself that if the good person liked it, he could give another one next year.

It would just give Big Bird and Qicai some time to grow.

Some distance away, Big Bird and Qicai shivered as if they were on a thief’s radar. Who was it?

In the end, everyone’s attention gathered on Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe had no choice but to bring out a gift and give it to Nian Shutong.

"Happy First Year."

Nian Shutong took the box, opened it, and found a photograph, or more accurately, a framed photo.

In the frame were all of them.

"Thank you, I really like it."

After the gifts were given, everyone sat quietly on the mountaintop, waiting for midnight to arrive.

The moment midnight struck, Nian Shutong stood up, waving her hands, and spiritual power reappeared.

"Go!"

"Boom———"

Spiritual power fireworks exploded in the sky.

"Happy First Year!"

"Happy First Year!"

Together, everyone cheered loudly and celebrated their first New Year on Blue Star.

After midnight, everyone dispersed.

Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe were the last to leave, walking together towards the small wooden house.

"Aren’t we cultivating today?"

"Not today, it’s New Year’s."

Nian Shutong had reached the door, ready to go inside, but she felt someone pulling her.

She turned her head to look back at Fu Yunhe and asked, "What’s up?"

"A gift for you."

A palm-sized box appeared in Fu Yunhe’s hand.

"Didn’t you already give one just now?"

Nian Shutong turned around, took the box from Fu Yunhe’s palm, and looked at him.

"It’s not a rule that you can only give one gift."

"That’s true."

Just as Nian Shutong was about to open the box, Fu Yunhe stopped her.

"Just look at it by yourself when you get back."

Having said that, Fu Yunhe seemed to beat a hasty retreat to his own room.

Nian Shutong gazed at the small box, wondering if it contained something ineffable.

She walked back to her room and sat on the bed edge before opening the small box.

Inside was a necklace, a heart-shaped one composed of various colored stones.

Nian Shutong glanced at the necklace and then lifted her wrist, adorned with a bracelet Fu Yunhe had given her, probably part of a matching set.

But what was there to be embarrassed about?

For a moment, Nian Shutong simply couldn’t discern the significance of the necklace.

Was it just because it was heart-shaped?

That couldn’t be it, that was too cryptic.

Nian Shutong fiddled with it in the palm of her hand, still unclear about its meaning, and put it away.

On the other side, Fu Yunhe was lying flat against the door, listening intently for any sound from the room, wondering if she would like it.

Did she see the words on it?

After listening for quite a while and not hearing any sound, Fu Yunhe wondered if she had missed them.

It’s possible, he had made it somewhat cryptic after all.

Feeling anxious, Fu Yunhe sat on the edge of his bed, hoping on one hand that Nian Shutong would discover the hidden message and on the other that maybe it was better if she took a little longer; he didn’t want to be outright sentenced to death.

With a heart full of anxious anticipation, Fu Yunhe barely slept all night, and when he woke up early the next day, he saw Nian Shutong opening her door to leave.

"Good morning, Xiao He."

Nian Shutong acted as usual, so Fu Yunhe knew she hadn’t seen it.

Had Nian Shutong seen it, she wouldn’t have ignored him; she would have given him an answer.

In this way, it was better; he still had more time to try harder.

No longer entangled in his thoughts, Fu Yunhe went out, got a bunch of flowers, and replaced the ones in Nian Shutong’s room.

On the first day of the new year, Nian Shutong gave everyone a day off.

Even Little River Live announced a seven-day break.

Nian Shutong, after leaving the small wooden house, was preparing to go for breakfast.

"Master, the contribution points are in!"

A comment from Daodao changed Nian Shutong’s direction towards a small plaza to sit down and check.

The rankings for every list were out now, and all of Nian Shutong’s accounts were well-known on the charts.

Not only were they well-known, but they were also at the top of all lists, either first or second.

Even more impressive was the fact that her songs, all five of them, made the list, not only occupying the top three spots but the least successful being at number seven.

The netizens on Star Network, more excited than ever, many of them wielding calculators, were now calculating contribution points for Nian Shutong, that is, Earth Bar’s identity.

Star Network.

"Earth Bar participated in three lists, and just from the song lists it can gain twenty-five thousand, five hundred contribution points, not to mention the nursery rhyme list."

"The nursery rhyme list might have less, but the top three contribution points add up to ten thousand."

"Don’t forget the poetry list, first and second place, fifteen thousand points!"

"My god, Earth Bar alone can get over fifty thousand contribution points!"

"How many crystal stones can that be exchanged for!"

"Don’t just talk about Mr. Earth Bar, Text Mover is amazing too, The Eight Trigrams unexpectedly reached first!"

"And the other three books, Immortal Slaying also reached eighth place."

"My heavens, all four books are on the list!"

"Not to mention the short stories and children’s tales as well!"

"I roughly estimated, Text Mover can get around sixty thousand points."

"Have you guys noticed, they are all from Mr. Xiao He’s planet!"

"Does this planet only produce geniuses?"

"Mr. Xiao He also gained ten thousand contribution points."

"You’ve got your math wrong!"

"There are more lists! The annual lists are out too, and they all made the list!"

"Oh my, I forgot about the annual lists! Go check them out now!"

At this point in Star Network, all the netizens, including Nian Shutong herself, were checking the annual lists.
