Chapter 243 To put it bluntly, he is a tough guy

After leaving the prison, Lu Qi sat on the carriage, lifted the curtain in a good mood and looked at the scenery along the way.

At noon, the number of pedestrians on the street has not decreased at all, and it is still very lively. The festive atmosphere lingered on everyone's smiling faces.

The carriage drove all the way home.

After a while, it slowly stopped at the door of the compound.

The yard was still very quiet at the moment, and it seemed like Lacus and the others hadn't come back yet.

Entering the living room, I only saw Catalina and Bobby keeping each other company, playing backgammon.

Lu Qi, who was a little tired, sat on the sofa and rested. Looking at Yourna who turned around to pour tea, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Yourna, Happy New Year."

Upon hearing this, Yourna paused, turned around, and bowed lightly towards Lu Qi: "Happy New Year too, Your Highness."

"Take care of me in the new year." Lu Qi smiled: "The red envelope is with you, remember to send one to yourself."

"Um."

Yourna nodded slightly, then turned around, with a faint smile on her lips.

Lu Qi withdrew his gaze from her, leaned back on the sofa, and relaxed.

I celebrated the New Year with many people today and almost forgot about Yourna.

After all, Lu Qi could see her every day when he opened his eyes, and he forgot about her out of habit.

I remember that Yourna came out alone after having a falling out with her family. She became Lucci's maid as soon as she arrived in the royal capital, and she stayed there for a long time.

From the look on her face, she didn't seem to have any plans to reconcile with her family or go home.

But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't want to go back, Lu Qi can always leave a place for her.

After a while, Yourna brought a cup of hot tea at a suitable temperature.

Lu Qi took the tea cup and took a sip carefully. The warm tea and the overflowing fragrance made him feel more relaxed.

He was sitting on the sofa, looking at the fireplace. The crackling of firewood and the flickering flames made people feel a little more sleepy.

Yawning, Lucci looked away and landed on Bobby and Catalina's chessboard.

About ten minutes passed.

There was a sound of footsteps outside. Following the footsteps, I saw Miss Crown Guard walking in with tired steps at the entrance of the living room.

She walked to the sofa step by step, and then lay down on it without saying a word.

It was obvious that she was quite tired from running around all morning.

Now that Garen and Jarvan IV are staying abroad together, she is the only junior member of the Crownguard family. As the mascot of a top family, she naturally has many people to visit.

After lying on the sofa, the fatigue on Lux's face finally faded a little. After a while, she suddenly laughed "hehe" twice when she thought of something.

This movement caught Lu Qi's attention. He looked over and looked at Lux, who had a cute curve at the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you giggling?"

"Hmph, to be honest, I am very rich now."

Lux sat up with a proud smile on her lips, then took out a heavy and bulging wallet and placed it on the table.

During the process of putting it down, there was a crisp sound of gold coins colliding inside, at least hundreds of them.

"This is only part of my current assets."

Lux put her hands on her hips and was in a wonderful mood.

Although her mother had been running around all morning, and her legs were almost broken, she didn't gain anything.

I received a lot of red envelopes alone!

Since she broke her mother's favorite vase last time, a lot of her pocket money has been used to pay off debts.

Only if you are lucky, you can win something at the mahjong table.

But in mahjong, there are winners and losers, but not many of them actually ended up in her hands.

Instead, it all went into Lu Qi's pocket, and a large part was won by Bobby.

This resulted in her pocket money always being in a state of neither more nor less.

But things are different now. In one morning, her small treasury can be said to have continued to double at a doubling rate!

After easily paying back the vase, there was still a very considerable sum left.

"awesome."

Lu Qi flattered her twice and then asked: "How will Miss Crown Guard plan this huge sum of money?"

Lux clenched her fists full of fighting spirit and said, "Of course, I'll use them all to play mahjong!"

Afterwards, she took a cup of hot tea from Yourna, and after taking a sip, the old god breathed a long sigh of relief and spoke.

"In the long experience of mahjong, I gradually understood a truth. Money will constrain a person's thinking. The less money you have, the more constrained you will be in playing cards, so the cards will only get worse and worse. However, it is different when you have money. If you have money, you can play freely. The cards will only get bigger and bigger, and the money will become more and more. This is called money begetting money."

"It makes sense."

Lu Qi couldn't help but applaud this statement.

"Stop pretending like that." Lux raised an eyebrow and glared at him, then said confidently: "Just wait for a while, I will kill indiscriminately today!"

Lu Qi smiled at the confident expression on Lux's little face, and then drank all the tea in the cup: "Since you are so confident, how should you respond if I choose not to play mahjong?"

Lux was stunned for a moment, her little face showed a bad look for a second, she slapped the table and said, "You have to fight!"

Mahjong must be played.

Lu Qi was just teasing her. After all, the richer you are, the more confident you are, and he is not afraid of this little golden retriever.

After another ten minutes, there was another burst of footsteps outside, and after a while, Fiona, Sona, and Kasina walked in together.

It was already past midday, and most of the people had had lunch outside.

Now that I have been running all morning, I have basically all free time in the afternoon.

So, Lux, who was addicted to mahjong, immediately started to gather people, including Lu Qi, Kashina and Fiona, and quickly put together a table.

Just like that, the happy mahjong time began, and the sound of mahjong playing could be heard from time to time.

In the harmonious atmosphere, time passes slowly.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye.

"What a fool! Four cakes, Ping Hu."

Fiona calmly pushed down the cards in front of her and touched them, announcing the end of today's mahjong.

Hearing this, Lux's small body trembled, then she took out the wallet that was still bulging a few hours ago, and poured out the last four gold coins from it.

Looking at the four gold coins, she reluctantly handed them over to Fiona pitifully.

Fiona looked at her pitiful look, a smile appeared on her face, and then she took it away without ceremony.

The next second the gold coin was taken away, Lux seemed to be discouraged and fell limply on the table with a look of despair on her face.

Ping Hu is not big, and counting all the times, the total is only four gold coins.

But this was the last straw that broke the crown guard's life.

This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't today be her home court? Why was she the first person to lose everything?

Lu Qi handed out four gold coins with a smile and said, "Thank you, Miss Crown Guard, for spreading the wealth today."

Lux sat up after hearing this and looked at him with gritted teeth: "I will definitely win it back next time!"

After she finished speaking, she fell down weakly again, with a numb expression on her face.

Some of you here today are very lucky.

Lu Qi won a lot, most of which were in Miss Crown Guard's wallet.

This is also due to the rich man's style of play that she pioneered. No matter what card she plays, she will move towards the big name. No matter what card she touches, she will not be afraid of firing. The main thing is to bravely go to the end of the world with one hand.

To put it bluntly, it’s a tough one.

In fact, her hand is quite good, after all, she has good luck.

It's a pity that no matter how good luck is, it can't resist a desire to give money.

The mahjong game ended with one person crying and three others laughing. Several people sat in the living room to rest and chat.

After lying on the sofa for a while like an autistic person, Lux quickly cheered herself up and sat up lively: "By the way, there will be a celebration at five o'clock, let's go watch it together!"

Kashina nodded immediately in response: "Okay, okay, we haven't seen the celebration for a long time."

Fiona drank hot tea and replied: "There's nothing wrong with me."

"Then let's go together." Lu Qi saw this and looked at Sona: "Where is Sona?"

Facing Lu Qi's gaze, Sona's eyes flashed, she nodded, and said in her heart: "I'll go too!"

Since her trip to the border, she has recently been researching a way to isolate some voices.

So far it has been somewhat effective.

Therefore, she actually needs to go to more crowded places to take tests. She feels that if she studies for a while, she can freely turn on or off the reception of inner voices.

Just like that, it was decided to go to the celebration.

There was only more than an hour left, so everyone did not delay. After simply tidying up, they got on the carriage and set off towards the streets of the celebration.

By the time we got there, the sky had begun to darken, and the atmosphere in the streets of the royal capital at dusk was actually a bit more lively than at noon.

Amid the bustle of people, Lu Qi and a group of girls also got off the carriage.

Preparations for the celebration had begun. Lux, who particularly liked this atmosphere, quickly found a very good seat and looked towards the square, with a happy smile on her face and her beautiful eyes twinkling like stars.

"Come on, it's about to start!"

She stood at the chosen position and waved to Lu Qi and the others.

When Lu Qi and others walked over, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, attracting everyone's attention. Amidst the festive music, the lively celebration began.

As one program after another was performed, the applause and cheers seemed to ring out without interruption.

The darker the sky gets, the more people celebrate.

Katarina felt the celebration of Demacia and felt something different in her heart.

Her eyes flickered slightly, looking towards the direction of the celebration and the smiling faces of the people.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had experienced such an atmosphere in Noxus.

Blurry, the memory is too vague.

Her eyes slowly turned to Lu Qi, who was also looking at the celebration with a relaxed smile on his face, his black hair swaying with the slight cold wind.

It seemed that she had never experienced any of these things in her life before meeting this guy.

Day after day, arduous training and tests on the edge of life and death made her almost out of touch with these things.

As if he noticed her gaze, Lu Qi turned his head, met her bright green eyes, and asked with a smile: "How was our celebration?"

"Just so-so."

Catalina's voice was drowned out by the cheers. She looked away from the guy, her heart unknowingly being infected by the atmosphere of the celebration.

The moment she blended into this atmosphere, Catalina felt a rare sense of relaxation.

Of course, Noxus also has celebrations and festivals, but compared with what she saw now, she always felt that something was missing.

Seeing the smiles from the heart on those people's faces, as a firework flew high into the sky, it burst into brilliant colors with a "bang", bringing the atmosphere of the celebration to a climax, and she couldn't help but stare. He was in a daze for a few seconds.

After the celebration.

When everyone returned home, the sky was completely dark, and the bright starlight illuminated the capital.

Lu Qi also started to prepare dinner. Although hot pot is good, it cannot be eaten every day.

Today is the New Year, so naturally we need to eat something good, so he prepared a very sumptuous dinner.

When dinner was placed on the table, the girls could not wait to sit down.

After dinner, without resting, they all ran to the front yard and took out the fireworks that Lu Qi had prepared.

Lu Qi is playing with a large firework.

Lux, who was not far away, saw this, looked down at the trumpet spray in her hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't smell good.

So he ran over, pushed Lu Qi aside, and said enthusiastically: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Lu Qi did not compete with her and gave her the opportunity to light the fire.

Lux lit a match in her hand, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over, seeing her carefully watching the fuse of the fireworks being delivered.

With a "sizzle" sound, the fuse immediately ignited in the next second. Lux immediately threw away the match and trotted away. Her twinkling eyes watched the fuse burn little by little, full of expectation.

When the fuse was completely engulfed in flames, with a "whoosh" sound, a firework suddenly flew towards the sky.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, brilliant colors exploded in the sky.

At the same time, Yuerna and Fiona also lit the fuses.

"Boohoo!"

The next moment, the fireworks did not stop and were launched one after another. The whole night sky was dyed with colorful brilliance, very gorgeous and beautiful.

Lux raised her head and looked at the fireworks in the sky. Her bright eyes were shining with the color of fireworks. The light reflected on her bright and flowery face, making her even more gorgeous and beautiful.

The fireworks celebration has just begun, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers continues in the yard.

Even Catalina couldn't refuse these colorful fireworks and joined in to play together.

When we finally finished playing, we went to the backyard to soak in the hot springs.

After enjoying the hot spring bath comfortably, it was already getting late.

Sitting in the living room, everyone feels that time is flying fast, and the New Year is almost over before they know it.

Lux reluctantly said goodbye and went home, as if she had not yet recovered from the happy New Year atmosphere.

As Kashina, Sona, and Poppy said goodbye one after another, they left.

Lu Qi looked at Fiona sitting in the living room reading a book. Miss Jian Ji also noticed his gaze, raised her head, and the two looked at each other.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Fiona's mouth, and paired with her bright red lips, she looked extremely beautiful.

At this moment, Lu Qi knew.

He will kick off the new year.

There's still 8,000 left, so I probably won't be able to get out.

Since this month is the last day, it should be regarded as the author's last indulgence.

Tomorrow, I will code words in Kuku!
