Today is Teacher's Day. School was let out early, and definitely, it wouldn't be possible to rush back home, but everyone could leave the school premises and move about freely. Ruan Hao, once school was out, got picked up by a few buddies, who didn't even give him time to pack up his books—his roommate had to carry them back to the dormitory for him.
"Big brother." Ruan Jiaojiao stood up, and was immediately scooped up by Ruan Hao into a hug.
Ruan Hao kissed her little cheek and held her in his arms as he called out to everyone.
Ruan Jianguo poked his head out from the storeroom, glanced at Ruan Hao outside, then turned to yell to the others, "Her brother's back, it's time." It turned out everyone was waiting for Ruan Hao; they were all ready to set off firecrackers and officially open for business once he arrived.
The storage room buzzed as the four brothers emerged upon hearing the call, along with Lu Zhiwei, each of them holding signs covered in red silk and firecrackers.
