There was a burst of noise downstairs, and you knew without even thinking that it was the kestrel coming. Since returning from Feilengcui, the kestrel has become more... active.

Maybe it's because he's coming back from a desperate situation, or maybe it's because he's about to retire. In short, Kestrel now lives very gratefully every day, is full of energy, and is so noisy that even Lorenzo would feel bored.

When I came to visit Lorenzo before, I heard from Kestrel that he had already declared with Arthur and was just waiting for the matters here to be settled. After the work was handed over, he would officially retire. It is said that he still has a considerable salary every month.

Issue.

As for what he will do after retirement, Lorenzo doesn't have to guess. At that time, Lorenzo even joked with Kestrel.

"If you do well, it's not impossible for you to be the dean!"

Kestrel directly said "Thank you to the great Lorenzo Holmes" and many other words of praise. It is not clear what Kestrel went through. His vocabulary of praise was so large that Lorenzo was once

nausea.

But soon Kestrel realized something else.

"So, does this count as me working for you?"

"Yeah, hurry up and call the boss."

Lorenzo had a hard time describing Kestrel's expression at that time. It was very complicated, very interesting, and it looked like he had finally retired and ended up working another job. The boss was also a bit annoying.

A slight sound interrupted Lorenzo's memories. He looked at the bed and saw Seleu slowly waking up and rubbing his eyes vigorously.

"Good morning."

Lorenzo said.

"Ah...good morning, good morning."

She might have been really sleepy and kept mumbling, but Seliu soon realized the situation in front of her.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Seliu asked.

"I don't know. It must have been a while."

Lorenzo stood up and held out his hand.

"Let's go, everyone is here."

Seliu didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand, and the two held it together.

…

"Happy Birthday to God! Everyone!"

Walking down the stairs, Kestrel's cheers could be heard endlessly. This guy took off his shirt and stood on the table, holding a wine glass in one hand and shaking his clothes with the other. While cheering, he also danced strangely.

Below is Sagaraki swaying with him. She is very good at joining in this kind of crazy joy.

"Is this the birthday of God in the Western world? How interesting!"

She said to Shao Liangye excitedly while going crazy with Kestrel.

Shao Liangye sat with the others with a dark look on his face. Even as a foreigner, he knew that this was definitely not the case on God's birthday. It was just Kestrel being drunk alone.

Eve suppressed a smile. She knew very well that if she didn't stop it, the God's Birthday would become strange in the eyes of these Jiuxia people, but she couldn't help but want to see what it would turn into in the end.

.

Amid the cheers, Kestrel jumped off the table, vigorously shook the drunken Oscar, and asked him to join in the singing and dancing.

"This guy is not ordinary happy."

Lorenzo walked to the living room and said to Shrike.

"Yes, seeing him like this makes me want to retire too... Are you so happy?"

Shrike watched as Kestrel picked up Oscar and spun him vigorously. He didn't know whether Oscar's old waist could handle it.

After another period of madness, Kestrel finally got tired and leaned against Oscar, like a mountain of meat.

"Ah...it's such a good life."

Lorenzo said softly, although these guys made a mess in the living room, Lorenzo was not disgusted, but rather missed the messy look of the house before.

Sitting in his seat, leaning against the warm fireplace, Lorenzo felt the peace and tranquility with a slight smile.

"What's wrong?" Seliu leaned next to him and asked, "You look like an old man."

"Grandpa?"

"Yes, did the old man who was basking in the sun in the afternoon think of something?"

Lorenzo was silent for a few seconds, thought seriously, and then said easily.

"I'm glad, Seleu, I'm very glad."

He looked at Seliu, then at his friends in the room, and smiled.

"I think I was really blessed by luck, and my only wish was really fulfilled."

Midnight is approaching and the new year is approaching. Everyone gets up and picks up their wine glasses. Even the drunk guys are stood up and ready to celebrate this moment.

"Happy Birthday to God, Mr. Lorenzo Holmes."

Everyone cheered.

Lorenzo also raised his glass and took a deep breath. The old year was coming to an end. Too many things had happened this year, so much that it gave him a headache when he thought about it.

He was filled with emotions and became more and more melancholy, but Lorenzo felt that this should not be the reason to stay, even if it was the end.

"To the future."

He raised his glass and ended with these words.
