New Year’s is something every person in China looks forward to.

Especially the first day of Spring Festival, no matter what happened in the previous year, you must keep smiling on this day.

However, for corporate slaves, especially those who have to work overtime on New Year’s Day, the mood is understandably dreadful.

"I hate He Bo!"

"That guy ran off without a word, why do I have to sit here on duty!"

Practically going crazy sitting in the office of Bureau 749.

If looks could kill, Luo God would be a homicidal maniac right now.

"Because you’re the only one in the office right now, if not you on duty, then who else?"

Sitting obediently next to Luo God, He Feng rebutted softly while munching on snacks and candies gifted by the clerical aunties.

"Besides, does New Year’s really make a difference to you?"

"Even if it were New Year’s, you’d just be wandering around eating and drinking, wouldn’t make any difference!"

Though He Feng was speaking the truth, he still received a fierce glare from Luo God.

Just like He Feng, Luo God is also a loner; her parents abandoned her shortly after she was born.

The village Luo God lived in became a wasteland due to her awakening.

If it weren’t for He Bo helping her rebuild her Divine Format and cover her memories, Luo God would never show such a cheerful demeanor.

"Are you getting bold nowadays? Need a beating?"

Seeing Luo God visibly flustered, He Feng hastily pushed his chair away from her, gesturing for silence to his own mouth.

"Those sisterly aunties are really biased..."

"Obviously, I’m also in the office, why do they only give snacks to you?"

Unceremoniously snatching a bag of snacks from He Feng, Luo God couldn’t help but complain.

"Maybe because I’m popular?"

One sentence hit Luo God’s heart again, realizing things might get difficult, He Feng quickly shook his head, indicating he’d definitely stop saying random things.

"You brat, you’re getting worse as you grow, especially this foul-mouthed habit."

"Do all roles like the Prophet end up loving to run their mouths?"

This time, the newly wiser He Feng just shook his head without speaking further.

"Anyway, Happy New Year."

Standing up to walk beside He Feng, Luo God tenderly ruffled his hair.

"In the spirit of New Year, tell me your wish, and Big Sis here will make it happen!"

Though he suspected Luo God was trying to dodge work.

Upon hearing this from her, He Feng still couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Thinking back to how long he’s known Luo God, the other might have a bit of a nasty temper, but she seems to have never broken a promise?

"Really?"

Thinking so, a hint of expectation appeared on He Feng’s face.

"Don’t mention any outrageous requests! I’m not Doraemon!"

Seeing through He Feng’s little scheme, Luo God quickly patched up her earlier statement.

Compared to He Bo and Huo Dou, the two seniors, Luo God knows this mischievous kid much better.

No matter how obedient He Feng seems in front of the elders.

If it comes to causing trouble, Luo God thinks ten of her combined couldn’t compete with this brat.

"I want to go see the bridge where I was born."

After a brief silence, He Feng said.

He Feng is the Totem Incarnation of the Long-Eyed God, picked up by little girl He Jiali as a doll.

To fulfill He Jiali’s wish, He Feng transformed into a human form and was eventually taken in by Huo Dou.

Ordinarily, He Feng never showed any longing for family.

Because He Bo, Huo Dou, Luo God, and later Wang Shu, all treated him like real family.

Well-behaved and sensible He Feng didn’t want everyone to realize his thoughts, fearing this desire of his might hurt them.

Yet during New Year’s, He Feng was inevitably touched by the festive atmosphere, revealing his true longing for the first time.

"Is that not okay?"

Waiting so long for Luo God’s answer and not getting it, He Feng cautiously lifted his head.

Before He Feng could clearly see Luo God’s expression, he was gently hugged by her.

"Of course it’s okay, why wouldn’t it be?"

Though her tone remained playful, Luo God displayed a rare firm attitude.

Even if He Bo returned today, it wouldn’t stop Luo God from taking He Feng to see the bridge where he was born.

"But before that, let’s divine an augury!"

"Otherwise, if He Bo catches us sneaking out, it’ll be a big hassle."

She didn’t stay emotional for long, Luo God quickly returned to usual, deliberately lowering her voice, speaking cautiously.

"..."

Pushed away without words, equally hiding his emotional side, He Feng even rolled his eyes.

"I suddenly realize, maybe I shouldn’t follow Uncle Huo in learning divination."

"Next you’ll even divine what to eat later?"

Despite saying that, He Feng ultimately obediently took out the specially made Eight Trigrams Compass from his pocket.

"Just like before, spin it twice, what do you intend to divine?"

Upon He Feng’s question, Luo God immediately crouched down and reached for the Compass.

"Hmm, let’s divine whether we’ll encounter anything interesting later!"

With undisguised excitement in her words, Luo God was the first to spin the Compass needle.

"Main hexagram is Kan?"

Seeing the needle stop, He Feng, instinctively feeling uneasy hesitated a bit, then spun the Compass needle as well.

"Guest hexagram is also Kan?"

The needle turned a few times stopping at the same spot again, He Feng fell silent once more.

"What does this hexagram mean?"

Blinking, Luo God may not understand divination, but she knows how to read expressions.

This hexagram is clearly not auspicious, otherwise He Feng wouldn’t have such a reaction.

"Kan above and below, implies traps, symbolizing challenges and dangers."

"We must be vigilant in the coming period, paying attention to avoiding potential risks and traps."

After a long sigh, He Feng decided not to keep the hexagram’s meaning a secret, then stared into Luo God’s eyes and said.

"Should we not go out?"

"Isn’t it just a bridge? What’s there to see."

The world has countless bridges; once we have the chance, we’ll tour them one by one."

Seeing He Feng’s anxious expression, Luo God seemed entirely unaffected, laughing as if she hadn’t heard him.

"Scared already, kid?"

"It’s just a hexagram, haven’t you learned from Huo Dou that divination exists to change fate."

"Since the hexagram doesn’t align with our desires, let’s divine again!"
