On the first day of the Lunar New Year, firecrackers crackled again bright and early.
Chen Chuan awoke from his sleep. He placed his hands behind his head and lay there quietly. Although the dorms at the academy were nice, this place still gave him a unique sense of warmth and comfort.
After lying there for a while, he got up, dressed, pulled open the curtains, and opened the window. Sunlight streamed in from outside. It had snowed all night, but the Sun was out today. The snow on the eaves and the ground looked like a layer of cotton quilting.
He took a few deep breaths, then went outside to wash up. He wished a Happy New Year to Nian Fuli and Yu Wan, who were already up, and then made calls to several teachers, like Cheng Zitong and Bian Feng, to extend his holiday greetings.
