[CN] Idle chat about the Spring Festival

🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for a feature which has not been released in English servers! 🍒

There’s a feature in CN called 随便聊聊 (“Idle Chat”), where you can select a mood and talk to the love interests about various topics :> 

Idle chats on work, life and studies: gavin l kiro l lucien l shaw l victor

[ Gavin - Happy Mood ]

MC: Today, I did something which left me incredibly fulfilled - I did a thorough cleaning of my house! I can now welcome the new year with ease~

Gavin: I’m also doing a cleanup, but my progress has been a little slow.

Gavin: Without realising it, lots of dust accumulated at home.

Gavin: Cough. Could I leave Thorny in your care at your place?

Gavin: I’m afraid it’d die from breathing in too much dust.

[Note] SO GAVIN WAS REFERRING TO MC IN HIS RECENT WEIBO POST HNNGGHH

[ Gavin - Upset Mood ]

MC: I might really have no talent in picking gifts. All the New Year gifts I bought for the elders were criticised. They’re either too flashy but without practical use, or not worth the price...

Gavin: Who said so?

Gavin: The gifts you’ve given me - I like them all very much.

-

[ Gavin - Angry Mood ]

MC: Horrible! I had arranged to meet up with high school schoolmates for a meal over the New Year celebrations. In the end, they stood me up!

Gavin: There’s no need to get angry with people who don’t keep their promises.

Gavin: Where were you originally planning to go? I’ll accompany you.

Gavin: Strictly speaking, I’m also your high school schoolmate.

-

[ Kiro - Happy Mood ]

MC: I bought tons of firecrackers that I used to play in my childhood! We could set them off on the eve of New Year’s together, and scare away all the bad luck of the new year~

Kiro: Don’t worry, Miss Chips.

Kiro: If the firecrackers can’t scare them off, Superhero Kiro will take action!

Kiro: P.S. Savin says the “Double Kick” firecrackers are really fun. Have you bought them?

[Trivia] The “Double Kick” firecrackers (二踢腿) contain two layers of gunpowder. The lower layer of gunpowder will send the firecracker into the sky, and the upper layer will explode in the air after it reaches a height of 10-20 meters!

[ Kiro - Upset Mood ]

MC: I’m a little speechless at myself. I was actually so busy that I forgot to do Spring Festival shopping... which is why I keep thinking my mouth is missing something on this spring evening.

Kiro: This time, I’ll have to criticise Miss Chips. 

Kiro: How could you forget such an important thing?

Kiro: But the good news is, I’m already carrying items for the Spring Festival and rushing towards your home.

-

[ Kiro - Angry Mood ]

MC: Huhuhuhu... Just now, my relatives came to visit. In the end, the children broke my beloved action figure! I’m going to fight it out with this bunch of little rascals-

Kiro: Don’t be impulsive - they’re just children!

Kiro: Little children can’t gauge their strength - what if they hurt you?

Kiro: Leave it to Flower Guardian Kiro to meet them!

[Trivia] Kiro’s last line is a reference to a Chinese song called 护花使者!

[ Lucien - Happy Mood ]

MC: Let me tell you a secret - I’ve prepared a humongous lunar New Year’s Eve meal. May Professor Lucien return home early to eat~

Lucien: No wonder the developments of the experiment went very smoothly today.

Lucien: Turns out it’s because MC is waiting for me at home.

Lucien: Looks like I’ll have to leave early for once.

-

[ Lucien - Upset Mood ]

MC: I’m caught in a struggle between eating glutinous rice balls or dumplings for lunar New Year’s Eve...

Lucien: Since we’re celebrating the New Year, what I would suggest is that

Lucien: You could actually be a little greedier. 

Lucien: Eating these two dishes together wouldn’t be too much for the both of us.

-

[ Lucien - Angry Mood ]

MC: If the neighbours didn’t knock on my door to inform me, I wouldn’t have realised that the spring couplets outside the door were pasted upside-down! No wonder you smiled meaningfully when standing outside my door yesterday...

Lucien: I just found your clumsy side very adorable.

Lucien: Sorry, I didn’t tell you in time.

Lucien: Could I make up for it with a warm cup of cocoa?

-

[ Shaw - Happy Mood ]

MC: Today, something incredibly, explosively happy happened! A faraway aunt actually gave me New Year’s money, and I felt like I once again turned into a little kid~

Shaw: Be confident, and remove the “felt like”.

Shaw: Being incredibly, explosively happy over such a trivial thing

Shaw: If you aren’t a little kid, who is?

-

[ Shaw - Upset Mood ]

MC: I keep feeling that celebrating the New Year is so boring... Is the issue with me or the year?

Shaw: Do you need to ask?

Shaw: Who else spends their New Year’s cooped up at home.

Shaw: Come downstairs. I’ll take you out for a stroll.

-

[ Shaw - Angry Mood ]

MC: I’m so mad! When I visited my relatives earlier, I played games with my male cousins. They actually felt that I was too bad at the game, and didn’t care if I lived or died!

Shaw: I can empathise, and they aren’t to blame.

Shaw: Enough talking. Log in.

Shaw: You should know by now that aside from me, no one else can handle your skills.

-

[ Victor - Happy Mood ]

MC: Today, I specially bought a new outfit for New Year’s. I feel myself having more strength to welcome the new year! A certain someone who’s still working right now can’t experience such happiness~

Victor: You enjoy happiness on your own,

Victor: Yet pull me into experiencing your pain when you stay up all night to rush review reports?

Victor: You truly don’t suffer losses.

-

[ Victor - Upset Mood ]

MC: Ooh... we agreed to stay up all night on lunar New Year’s Eve. Why did it become the morning of the next day when I opened my eyes again?

Victor: It’s within expectations.

Victor: The reason why I didn’t wake you up was so that you’d completely give up on such ideas in the future.

Victor: Breakfast is on the table. Heat it up before eating it.

-

[ Victor - Angry Mood ]

MC: The older generation cheerfully said they’d accompany me for a game of mahjong. Afterwards, they won all my New Year’s money! Did I fall into a trap??

Victor: ...dummy.

Victor: I remember telling you not to touch mahjong again after the last time we played.

Victor: You haven’t learnt from your mistakes.
