In the Gusu Lan Clan, the winter holiday before the New Year typically began on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. After the heavy snow, the disciples' year-end evaluations commenced. Following discussions between Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen, the dates were moved up to the eighteenth. Event after event was checked off. The difference this year was that, thanks to Wei Wuxian's guidance, every disciple's performance in swordsmanship, talismans, and archery was outstanding. The evaluations were completed in a mere two days, earning the disciples an extra day of vacation.
With just over ten days remaining until the New Year, this was Wei Wuxian's first time spending the holiday in Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji attached great importance to it. On the twentieth of the twelfth month, he too put down his brush, finished dealing with all matters concerning the cultivation sects, and devoted all his time to accompanying Wei Wuxian. Lan Sizhui followed at their heels every day like a little shadow.
Having not spent the New Year in the Human Realm for so many years, Wei Wuxian suddenly found himself feeling a bit unaccustomed to it. He had completely forgotten what people usually did in the Yunmeng Jiang Clan before the New Year. Looking at Lan Wangji and Lan Sizhui sitting beside him, Wei Wuxian asked, "Lan Zhan, what does our clan usually do before the New Year?"
