As the troops returned to camp, it was already nearing midnight.
The snow was still falling, accumulating over the tops of their feet.
Yet no matter how late or how cold it was, staying up on New Year's Eve couldn't be avoided.
Tang Xiaobai, Li Mu, Qin Rong, Gu Wei, Gu Hui, Tao Fen, Yingying, and the Mo Brothers were all gathered in Li Mu's tent to stay up for the occasion.
Li Xingyuan was still in mourning and did not participate in this group event.
Lacking the convenience in the military camp, there was no grand feast; instead, three stoves were set up inside the tent.
One for warming wine, one for a hot pot, and one for brewing tea.
Gathered around the wine-warming stove were Qin Rong, Tao Fen, and Mo Huan.
Tang Xiaobai and Li Mu, who didn't drink, ate from the hot pot with Gu Wei for a while. Seeing Gu Hui brewing tea, they went over to appreciate the elegant demeanor of the young tea brewer while chatting.
During their chat, the topic turned to Tang Jiaojiao.
