Looking Up To The Heavens
Four_Years_Later
A small boy holding a bright red envelope over his head ran past a man in dark green uniform, which had a silver inscription on the back which spelled out, 'Treasury Bureau'
His friends ran after him, equally holding their own red envelopes in one hand, and a dumpling in the other. The man in uniform stopped for a second to watch the children as they casually flaunted how fat their envelope was to each other. And asked each other riddles, looking for the smartest one in their midst.
He pulled his lips back into a smile and turned to leave, only for his eyes to cast their gaze on two bright mandarin oranges. He blinked twice, then traced the hands that held them out to a woman whose long hair was styled with a bright red ribbon, carried by the wind.
Sitting on her face was a white and red fox mask, that covered almost all of her face, leaving only her red painted lips.
"Pig head, won't you take one?" Chen Zi teased with her hands still stretched out.
