Having pacified Gu Qingyi, it was almost time for the New Year.
Ma Lu didn't plan on making a New Year's Eve dinner, though it could have brought in a good sum of money, neither He Xiaoqian, who worked in the restaurant, nor himself were locals in City B.
Spending their time away, they could only return home this time of the year, so Ma Lu closed his shop early, not waiting until the thirtieth.
He Xiaoqian managed to get a train ticket and took the high-speed train home on the 28th, while Ma Lu planned to drive back and show off his new car to his relatives and friends.
Additionally, Ma Lu also took along Old Wang this time, who had no relatives in this Plane, and Ma Lu didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone in City B during the New Year.
Besides Old Wang, Ma Lu also took Ma Youyou.
Ma Youyou's situation was similar to that of Old Wang; as a traveler from another world, though she knew some people here, those people didn't recognize her.
