After renting a store, the next step is to decorate the store.

Liu Miaomiao did not plan to make any major changes, but only to make some simple modifications to the kitchen. The original kitchen area in the store was relatively small, so she contacted a decoration company and asked them to expand the kitchen area and simply renovate the walls and floors to make it clean and bright.

The renovation took neither short nor long, about half a month.

During this period, she went to the office building to sell braised pork rice during the day, and came to the university town to set up a snack stall at night to check the progress of the decoration. She became thinner.

At the end of September, the weather gradually subsided from the scorching heat.

After the shop rented by Liu Miaomiao was officially renovated, she also had a plan for what to sell in the shop. The only thing left was to recruit people. Fortunately, the thing that was most lacking near the university town was college students. After some thought, she recruited several college students who could do long-term part-time jobs, and everything was ready.

Her shop with the sign "Braised Pork Rice" was officially opened.

The store mainly sells braised pork rice, as well as cheaper vegetarian braised rice and cold dishes prepared by Liu Miaomiao according to recipes on the cookbook. Thanks to the aroma of the meat that can be smelled from ten miles away, the business has been good since it opened.

Liu Miaomiao can finally have some free time and is no longer as tired as before when she was setting up a stall every day.

At ten o'clock in the evening, another day of business is over.

"Sister Miaomiao, I have an exam at school. I would like to take a day off tomorrow. Is that okay?" A young girl with a fair face walked up to Liu Miaomiao and asked.

Liu Miaomiao was arranging the chairs in the store. When she heard this, she stopped, looked up, and said gently, "Would you like to take a day off tomorrow?"

Xiaoyou nodded, and Liu Miaomiao smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll change the schedule tomorrow."

"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao." Xiaoyou smiled with curved eyebrows and her fair face looked very cute.

Seeing that the store was almost cleaned, Liu Miaomiao asked Xiaoyou and the others to go back and rest early.

She was the only one left in the empty store. After calculating today's income, she wrote down the ingredients she needed to stock up on for tomorrow. When she had almost finished, a cell phone suddenly rang in the store.

"Ding-ling-ling~"

The cell phone she placed on the counter kept ringing. Liu Miaomiao picked it up and saw that it was a call from Andy Lau. She was stunned for a moment, but also felt that this call was expected.

"Hello!" She answered the phone.

"Sister." Liu Qingyun's familiar voice came from the phone. He explained, "My parents asked me to call you. They said they have something to talk to you about."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion on the other end of the phone. It must have been transferred to another person's hands. A somewhat vicissitudes of life male voice sounded: "Hello Miaomiao, I'm your dad."

Hearing this voice, Liu Miaomiao's emotions fluctuated for a moment. She lowered her eyes, pursed her dry lips, and said, "Dad, is there something wrong?"

The next moment, she heard a surprising news from her cell phone.

Liu Miaomiao frowned and confirmed again, "Dad, what did you say?"

"Miao Miao, your mother, your brother and I are here to look for you. Where do you live now? We will come to see you tomorrow." Father Liu repeated on the other end of the phone.

Liu Miaomiao was so shocked by these words that her mind went blank for a moment. After taking a breath and calming down, she said, "You don't have to come to me. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

…

In a cheap little hotel.

With a "beep", the sound on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly.

Liu Zhi moved the phone away from his ear, looked at the black screen, and muttered to Liu's mother: "You daughter, just hang up the phone."

The hotel room was small. Mother Liu and Liu Qingyun were sitting on the bed opposite. When they heard Father Liu say this, Mother Liu said, "Nier, maybe something will happen to you right now?"

"It's so late, what else is going on?" Father Liu said angrily while looking at his phone.

After he finished speaking, he handed the phone to his son Liu Qingyun and sighed, "I think your sister just doesn't want to be filial to me and your mother."

"Dad, what did my sister just say?" Liu Qingyun took the phone and changed the subject.

Father Liu rubbed his face and said, "Your sister said she'll come pick us up tomorrow. She's quite capable now."

"Okay, Ni'er didn't say she doesn't care about us, so stop talking." Mother Liu reached out and patted Father Liu, interrupting him.

Liu Qingyun, who was standing by, heard this and stood up and left, saying, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go back and rest first. Let's wait for my sister to contact us tomorrow."

Liu Miaomiao did not sleep well that night.

She asked, "099, why is the original owner's mood so disturbed this time?"

099: "Host, it's because the original owner died in great pain this time, so... the remaining obsession is somewhat contagious."

"Is there no way to eliminate this influence?" Liu Miaomiao felt a headache when she thought of the depressed feeling in her heart. She didn't want to lose control of her emotions from time to time after meeting the original owner's relatives. This feeling of being out of control was quite bad.

"Host, there are two ways to eliminate the influence of this obsession. One is to wait for it to dissipate on its own, and the other is to rely on your own mental strength to resist it." 099's answer was delayed for a while.

Liu Miaomiao guessed that 099 was just cramming for an exam and told him the truth right away. She didn't reveal the truth to give him face. After listening to the two methods 099 proposed, she directly considered the latter one.

"099, how can I use my mental strength to resist? Is there any suitable technique or thing?"

"Host, 099 has already screened the products for you in the mall. Please take a look." 099 answered quickly this time and even helped Liu Miaomiao open the mall interface.

She looked over and found that they were divided into two categories, one was the skills and the other was the props.

This kind of spiritual product is not cheap. One prop is priced at tens of thousands of points. The price of the skills is not so outrageous, but it requires merit to redeem.

Liu Miaomiao looked at her points of less than 10,000 and suddenly felt that she could still hold on, or try the first method 099 had just mentioned.

She closed the store and said calmly, "099, this obsession...is there any way to make it dissipate faster?"

"Host, this obsession has dissipated somewhat. If you want it to dissipate completely, you can only try your best to fulfill the wishes of the original owner." 099 said.

After hearing what 099 said, Liu Miaomiao also remembered that when she first started the mission, she had a feeling that something was always pressing on her, and that feeling did not disappear until she resigned.

She now thought that the feeling was probably a part of the original owner's obsession that had dissipated.

Liu Miaomiao rubbed her forehead, which meant that if she wanted to eliminate the remaining obsession, the best way was to contact the original owner's parents, which was another dead end.

She didn't continue to dwell on it. Since she couldn't deal with this obsession now, she decided to put it aside. Everything would work itself out when the time came. She would wait and see tomorrow.

Liu Miaomiao pulled the quilt over herself and fell asleep.
