Gu Liyan was taken aback, looking at Lin Qianmo who had come out with surprise. "Qianmo? You, what are you doing here?"

"Part-time job! Someone in the Wang family died, and they said they were afraid that demons and monsters were causing trouble, so I came to exorcise them," Lin Qianmo said with a smile.

"Catching a demon?" Lu Rui glanced at Gu Liyan subconsciously; the person in front of him really was a demon!

Gu Liyan asked calmly, "So, did you catch the demon?"

Lin Qianmo looked at Gu Liyan and smiled slightly, "Do you want me to catch him, or not?"

Gu Liyan smiled wryly, "It's all about human effort. As long as you've tried your best, why worry about the result?"

"Then I didn't catch it, and there's no demon in this house!" Lin Qianmo said with a smile. "It's getting late. You and I aren't the owners of this place, so just relax and pretend we don't exist."

Hearing Lin Qianmo's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Liyan and An Qianbai usually sleep on the sofa, Lin Qianmo sleeps sitting on a chair, while Lu Rui goes to his grandmother Yang Shuzhen's room.

The room was filled with a faint, fishy smell, but Lu Rui sat on the familiar bed without any disgust.

On the bedside table sat an old black-and-white photograph, showing a group of young faces gathered around the old man…

Lu Rui immediately recognized his younger self—a youthful, innocent face, a pair of calm yet wise eyes standing at the back of the group.

"Come on, all you kids, come over here for a group photo!" Lu Yunshan called to the running children. "Xiao Rui, come on! Take a picture with your grandma!"

Lu Rui walked over with her head down. "Dad, can I not take the picture?"

Hearing Lu Rui's words, Lu Yunshan was somewhat displeased, but since it was a rare occasion for the whole family to be gathered together, he didn't say anything. Instead, he squatted down and whispered in Lu Rui's ear:

"Xiao Rui, you are already 10 years old this year, but your grandmother is over seventy years old and may pass away at any time. If we don't preserve the memories of her in a photo frame, you may never see her again!"

Lu Rui nodded obediently and said, "Then, I'll take a picture with Grandma."

"Haha, this is my good son! Come on! Let's take a picture!" Lu Yunshan laughed heartily.

He stood at the back, silently tugging at the old woman's clothes. At that moment, he only wished to spend a little more time with his grandmother.

That was the end of her memory. Lu Rui was already in tears, tears falling onto the photo frame as she hugged it and sobbed.

Grandma, though life is long, the time I can spend with you is too short. Are you no longer able to accompany us any further...?

Hearing the crying coming from the room, Gu Liyan sighed softly, got up and went to the window. Looking at the bright moon outside, she gently spoke:

There is a proverb in this world...

An Qianbai looked up at Gu Liyan's back, while Lin Qianmo opened her eyes and pricked up her ears. Gu Liyan spoke:

"The moon is fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. It's a day for family reunion. But..."

"What should have been a day of family reunion has instead turned these families into enemies due to separation by life and death!"
