Double Happiness at the Door

The morning of New Year's Eve.

At home in Garden Community, Jiangbin City.

"What? Speak louder, I can't hear you!" Jiang Xiao held his phone in his left hand and covered his ear with his right as he shouted into it.

Firecrackers sounded nonstop outside the window, one string after another, rising and falling in waves.

The New Year's atmosphere in the Three Northeastern Provinces was indeed a little more intense. The firecrackers could continue from daytime until night.

Yet the hoarse voice on the other end did not raise its volume in the slightest. It merely repeated what it had said: "A mission. I can't make it back."

"What are you even saying?" Jiang Xiao complained. When the firecrackers beside his ear briefly stopped, he hurriedly asked, "Where are you?"

Two Tails's hoarse voice came through again: "A mission. I'm not going back for New Year's."

"All right." Jiang Xiao pouted. "Call me if you need anything."

The next moment, the firecrackers started going off again.

Jiang Xiao could not hear what the other person was saying anyway, making this rather like covering one's ears and stealing a bell. He suddenly changed tack and shouted, "You woman, don't come back ever again!"

Two Tails: ???

Jiang Xiao muttered, "If I'd known you weren't coming back, I would've slept in your bed. That bed cost tens of thousands, and it's just sitting there unused, while I sleep on the floor in the training room every day!"

Amid the sharp crackle of the firecrackers, Jiang Xiao said one last thing: "If you need me, send me a message. I can also bring some frozen dumplings over for the brothers."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao helplessly hung up the phone. However, when he did so, he discovered that there was no "call"
