Chapter 1145: Chapter 1133: Nana’s Overflowing Thoughts (Part 1)

With a bright smile on her face, Zhao Lina looked at Wei Yang.

In response, Old Zhao was quite baffled; he really couldn’t figure out the purpose of his daughter’s discussion with Wei Yang.

"Alright, Nana, stop teasing Uncle Zhao. Tell him the truth."

"Okay!" With both hands joined together near her chest, Zhao Lina straightened her back and asked, "Dad, think carefully, what day is coming up in a few days?"

"A few days later... what day is it?" Scratching his head, Old Zhao furrowed his brows and thought carefully, "It seems like there’s nothing special coming up recently, right?"

Old Zhao replied uncertainly.

"Dad, think again." Zhao Lina continued her mysterious demeanor.

In response, Old Zhao looked helplessly at Wei Yang, "Little Wei, you see, this daughter of mine, I really can’t handle her. Haha, Nana, your dad’s getting old and slow to react, don’t make it hard for me, just say it, what day is it?"

"Hey, you managed to forget such a big day."

"What day is it?"

"Of course it’s New Year’s!"

With a stiff face, Old Zhao sat up straight, looking around as if searching for a calendar: "New Year? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I really would’ve forgotten. What day is it today?"

Due to continuous special circumstances, people like Old Xu and other survivors have been tirelessly busy, preoccupied with various matters every day. Where could they have thought about other things?

So forgetting about New Year or even what date it is such trivial things is quite normal.

"Uncle Zhao, today is January 30th."

"Ah, it’s already the end of January. I remember New Year’s is in February, but which day is it this year?"

"This year, it’s the 8th."

"Wow! There’s not much time left!" Old Zhao exclaimed in surprise upon realizing it.

Seeing her father’s reaction, Zhao Lina gave Wei Yang a helpless look with a bitter smile.

"Since we got restocked on supplies this time, considering everyone’s been working hard and stressed, I thought maybe we could take advantage of New Year for a celebration, let everyone relax." Wei Yang said sincerely, and Zhao Yunhai nodded repeatedly, recalling the National Day celebration scene from last time.

Although it was challenging back then, the joy of the people during the grand ceremony is fresh in Old Zhao’s memory, so he immediately embraced Wei Yang’s suggestion: "Sure! Little Wei, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve missed it. Ah, the year is almost over. You’re right; everyone has really worked hard this time, having a gathering to cheer everyone up sounds great."

"But organizing this, the supply consumption might be a little..." Wei Yang shrugged with some embarrassment, and seeing this, Old Zhao immediately understood the reason why the two girls came to him.

"You’re worried about the supplies, huh, haha." With a smile, Old Zhao took a sip of warm tea, "Don’t worry about that; the year is wrapping up, it’s a family reunion day, and that’s a tradition for us Huaxia people. You go ahead and plan it; if there’s anything missing, let me know, and I’ll figure out a way to help you out."

With Old Zhao’s approval, Wei Yang immediately gained confidence and said, "I got it, Uncle Zhao. I won’t disturb your rest now; I’ll head out."

"Okay, you and Nana go ahead with this. Later I’ll inform Old Xu."

"Good, if possible, have everyone prepare some performances in their free time, for the celebration show."

"No problem, I’ll talk to them about it."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhao."

"Ah, Little Wei, what are you talking about? If anyone should be thanking, it should be me! If you hadn’t mentioned this, I wouldn’t have realized it at all. I have only one request now, try to make it enjoyable so everyone can have a good time and relax."

As one of the team leaders, Old Zhao knew very well how everyone was feeling these days.

The people indeed needed a celebration to let loose and relieve themselves.

Wei Yang understood Old Zhao’s sentiment, otherwise he wouldn’t have proposed organizing a celebration.

"Alright then, Uncle Zhao, rest well. Nana, let’s go!" Wei Yang waved to Zhao Lina and turned to leave.

At the door, seeing Zhao Lina not moving, Wei Yang turned her head in wonder, "Nana?"

"Ah!?" Hearing the call, Zhao Lina showed a hint of panic.

Wei Yang, a bit puzzled, asked in return, "You have something else?"

Zhao Lina hesitatingly responded, "Umm... this... I..."

Her daughter’s strange behavior caught Old Zhao’s attention, causing him to furrow his brow slightly, "Xiao Na, is there something you can’t say straightforwardly in front of Dad?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yunhai mention "not straightforward," Zhao Lina’s pretty face immediately turned red.

Seeing his daughter’s red face, Old Zhao assumed she had caught a cold, becoming somewhat anxious, "Daughter, what’s wrong? You... won’t be catching a cold, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yang quickly stepped forward, testing her forehead’s temperature. It shocked her: "Wow! That’s hot! Nana, are you really catching a cold?"

Word by word, Wei Yang and Old Zhao genuinely thought something was wrong with Zhao Lina’s health.

This left Zhao Lina quite embarrassed; in the end, she could only wave to stop them, "No, no, no, you all stop, I’m fine, where have I caught a cold?"

"Not catching a cold yet you turn so red?"

"I..."

"Yeah, Uncle Zhao is right; your cheek redness, fever, it’s typical cold symptoms. Nana, if something’s wrong, you have to speak up, don’t hide it."

Speechless! Absolutely speechless! Zhao Lina looked at her father, then at Wei Yang, frustratedly tapping her forehead, "I, I... I’m really not sick."

"Then what’s up with you?" Almost in unison, Wei Yang and Zhao Yunhai asked.

"Ah," Zhao Lina sighed heavily, thinking that if she didn’t clarify now, it would be hard to leave the door behind her, then, with a bitter face, she told the two, "I’m not up to anything much, just like Sister Wei mentioned to Dad and the others, the performances thing, I... um..."

"Which one?"

"Oh come on, you know!"

"Know? Xiao Na, what’s up with you today? What does Dad know?" Zhao Yunhai was just like a pot of water uncovering tofu skin—a complete mystery, totally clueless about the current situation.

However, as Old Zhao got more confused, Zhao Lina’s blush deepened.

Listening to Zhao father and daughter dialogue like that, observing Zhao Lina’s unusual expression, Wei Yang seemed to have figured something out.

With a smile, without unequivocally probing, "Xiao Na, are you trying to talk about that certain someone?"

"Sister Wei knows me best!" Relieving a burden, Zhao Lina seemed like a huge rock just fell from her heart.

But Zhao Yunhai remained completely puzzled, "That certain someone!? Who is that certain someone?"
