Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 248 New Year

Lin Yue's eyes flickered, then she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It was an emergency, how could I have time to notify you? Besides, I can handle it, I don't want to trouble you." Lin Mu frowned and said seriously, "Little sister, this is no small matter. If you encounter such a dangerous situation again, you must notify me immediately. It's too risky for you to go alone."

"Exactly! You didn't even notify Zhuang Changwu! Who's your family now?" Yun Xiling pouted. Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed. Actually, she thought her brother was busy with work and she wouldn't bother him, but who knew he was working overtime because of this.

She mumbled, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely let you know next time." "You want a next time?" Yun Xiling pinched her cheek. "Your brother might not be willing to discipline you, but I won't!"

Lin Yue cried out in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Sister, I was wrong, I'll never do it again!" Yun Xiling then released her grip and snorted. Just then, the ward door opened again, and a nurse walked in, holding a stack of test reports. "Mr. Yun Yi, these are your test reports. All your indicators are recovering well. With proper rest, you'll be able to be discharged soon," the nurse said with a smile. Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "That's good, thank you, Nurse."

Lin Mu looked at Yun Yi and said earnestly, "Yun Yi, you were very brave this time, but you should still act within your capabilities when you encounter danger in the future."

Lin Yue suddenly remembered something: "By the way, bro, Yun Yi is a Kamen Rider now, so he should be able to join the Rider Association directly, right?"

She did not join the Kamen Rider Association, but she knew that before Yun Yi, she and Li Yuetian were the youngest of all the Kamen Riders.

Yun Xiling sneered and said sarcastically, "Although many Kamen Riders are still students, they must at least have graduated from high school to become official members of the Kamen Rider Association."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "There are historical examples of people with low levels of education, but that's usually because they came from poor families and simply couldn't afford to continue their studies. However, in such cases, the association will fully support them in completing their education until they graduate from high school."

Hearing his sister say that, Yunyi became a little anxious. He retorted, "Sis, how can you say that about me? Although I like playing games, I'm sure I can get into high school!"

Seeing this, Lin Mu quickly smiled and smoothed things over: "Yun Yi has the courage to want to become a Kamen Rider. If he puts in a little more effort in his studies, he will definitely be fine."

Encouraged by Lin Mu, Yun Yi's confidence soared. He patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely study hard. Isn't my cousin in high school in Z City? I want to get into that school!"

Although Yun Xiling rolled her eyes at Yun Yi, her eyes were actually full of expectations for her younger brother: "Tch, don't just talk the talk, it'll be embarrassing if you don't pass the exam."

.........

In a dark and damp room, the light was dim, as if swallowed by darkness. A dark figure sat quietly in a chair, like a ghost, blending into the surrounding environment.

Before him lay an extremely tiny insect, which had escaped from the sewer and was now trembling on the table in front of him. The insect was so small that it was almost impossible to notice its presence without careful observation.

Suddenly, the shadowy figure reached out, grabbed the insect, and swallowed it whole. In the blink of an eye, the insect's body disappeared into the shadowy figure's throat.

However, the moment the insect was swallowed, a strange power began to surge in the shadowy figure's mind. The insect's memories flooded in like a tidal wave, relentlessly pouring into his mind.

"Kamen Rider?" the shadow muttered to itself, "What a terrifying enemy!" In the insect's memory, a gray Kamen Rider roamed the sewers with impunity.

"It seems this Kamen Rider is connected to the woman they captured that night..." the shadowy figure mused. "This woman looks familiar...she seems to be a student at this school..."

"Heh, I see..." The shadowy figure's lips curled slightly upwards. "If that Kamen Rider is also like that, then this guy will soon cease to be a threat..."

"Everything is ready. Now, we're just waiting for school to start..." The shadowy voice echoed in the darkness.

.........

Although Yun Yi was injured, fortunately his injuries were not serious. After a period of treatment and recuperation, he was finally discharged from the hospital before the Chinese New Year.

As for Lin Mu, the main issues had been resolved, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and begin to enjoy his vacation.

Time flies, and it's Lunar New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye. On this day, the family reunites once again, and laughter fills the entire house. Everyone sits around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner while sharing snippets of their lives.

Lin Yue was especially excited in this joyful atmosphere. She received several large red envelopes, one from her brother Lin Mu and the other from her sister-in-law Yun Xiling. What made her even happier was that her aunt and uncle, who were on their honeymoon, also sent her red envelopes via bank transfer. Lin Yue hugged the red envelopes, beaming from ear to ear.

However, in stark contrast to Lin Yue was Yun Yi. His parents and Yun Xiling seemed to deliberately ignore him, not preparing any red envelopes for him. The only red envelope he received was from Lin Mu, but before Yun Yi could even feel happy, Yun Xiling took it away!

This infuriated Yun Yi. He rolled around on the ground, muttering, "Why didn't I get a red envelope!"

However, Yun Yi's good mood didn't last long. After dinner, he acted as if nothing had happened and excitedly dragged Lin Yue to set off fireworks.

The open space in front of the villa was very spacious, enough for them to play to their hearts' content. Fireworks burst into brilliant colors in the night sky, illuminating the entire yard.

Lin Yue's phone kept ringing with private messages of well wishes. Some were from Zhuang Changwu, some from Tang Wenwen and Lu Chen, and some from Li Yuejiao and Li Yuetian, but…

She glanced at the chat box that would never receive a reply again, sighed, and finally typed: "Happy New Year, Xiaoyu."

In City C, Zhuang Changwu was sitting around the dining table with his parents. The table was laden with a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and the family was chatting and laughing as they enjoyed the delicious food and this warm moment.

Meanwhile, at the train station in City C, Lu Chen had just stepped off the train. Dragging his luggage, a hint of excitement flickered across his tired face. He looked around, his gaze quickly drawn to a figure.

A girl in a red coat was standing not far away, smiling at him. Lu Chen's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. He quickly ran over and hugged the girl tightly.

The girl was Tang Wenwen. She hugged Lu Chen tightly and said happily, "Happy New Year!"

In Z City, Li Yuejiao finally returned home. Li Yuetian gave her a big hug as soon as he saw her. Her parents smiled and welcomed her home. The family of four sat together, enjoying a reunion dinner and sharing stories of their lives, their laughter filling the air.

Inside the prison, a man and a woman stood facing each other through a viewing window. The woman carefully handed over a box of steaming dumplings, saying softly, "My family cooked too many dumplings, and since they were going to go to waste anyway, I brought them to you."

The man looked at the box of dumplings, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes. He took the dumplings and said gratefully, "Thank you, Happy New Year."

Upon hearing this, the woman felt a lump in her throat and quickly turned her face away, not wanting the man to see the tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Yue had just finished sending the message when Yun Xiling pulled her over: "Come on, Yue, don't sit there, come and set off fireworks! Xiao Yi can't wait!"

Lin Yue was pulled to the fireworks display, where Yun Yi had already eagerly lit one. The colorful fireworks shot into the sky, bursting into dazzling blooms. Watching the fireworks in the night sky, Lin Yue felt exceptionally cheerful, and her earlier slight melancholy vanished.

As the New Year's bells ring, may everyone have happier times in the new year than in the past, and may they enjoy peace, happiness, and good health year after year.
