In the days that followed, both the modern and ancient worlds settled into tranquility, and soon it was the end of January, time to prepare for the New Year.
In the modern world, the New Year came first. This year, Lu Zheng celebrated in Lu Province with Lin Wan and took the opportunity to visit a few relatives, deftly handling inquiries about marriage and children. On the third day of the New Year, they returned to his hometown in Qin Province to deliver some diluted medicinal liquor.
By the fifth day, with no obligations weighing on them, the two decided to head out for some fun.
Though being part of Interpol is much more relaxed than working in the serious crime unit, it's still a job that requires immediate action when something comes up. Therefore, the holidays are unpredictable, for instance, Lin Wan was called away on a business trip last year, whereas this year she got a generous two-week vacation.
