"Life is so boring... Can we have something exciting?"

"How exciting do you want it to be?" Gao Ling looked at her best friend next to her. "You work overtime every day. Isn't that exciting?"

"...Don't mention overtime, okay? You just don't understand the situation at all. If you keep doing this, you'll get beaten up."

Gao Ling yawned nonchalantly. Her hair was messy and there were dark circles under her eyes.

"How are you? Have you found a job recently?"

"No." Gao Ling said, "But I serialized a comic online. The response to that comic was quite good. I think it will be enough to support me for a few months."

"What comic is it? Can I take a look at it?" her best friend asked.

"It's the little comic I showed you some time ago. I expanded it a bit and changed it a little bit." Gao Ling said.

She reached out and tapped a few times on the computer, and a web page popped up.

"Is this what you drew?" Her best friend came over to take a look. "Hmm... a fanfiction of Yao Ji? Oh my god, isn't this the fanfiction that's been very popular recently? God damn, you wrote this?"

Gao Ling didn't answer. She looked at the sky outside, as if she was thinking about something.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly silent?"

"Hmm? Ah... nothing." Gao Ling turned his head back from the window and pulled the curtain closed with his backhand.

"But having said that, you have an exciting life now. You have drawn a book without making any noise. If you become a great artist in the future, remember to sign it for me." Her best friend said with a smile.

"Is it exciting or not..." Gao Ling murmured, and she suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, have you ever seen an anime like this before? It's about a day when all the characters in the two-dimensional world suddenly travel to the real world, and then go to find the cartoonist who created them."

"Uh... is there such a magical show? I haven't seen it yet, I might consider watching it." Her best friend said: "It sounds interesting. If my idol really came out of the second dimension, I think I would go crazy."

"Uh... I think what you should consider is whether you will be hacked to death by your male god first..." Gao Ling looked at her best friend speechlessly. If she remembered correctly, her male gods were all the kind of people with high fighting ability and perverted hearts.

"What happened next? What happened next?"

"Later... I stopped reading it." Gao Ling sat on the edge of the bed, recalling carefully, "But I think... although life is manipulated, people whose lives are extremely beautiful, life players in short, should not have much hatred towards cartoonists. After all, their memories are basically full of beautiful things, such as friends and family..."

"But some people who have a hard life..." Gao Ling suddenly paused, "What would happen if such people met a comic writer?"

"...It's a bloody storm." Her best friend said in a joking tone, "So cherish your life and be a mother. Be careful that someone will really cause trouble to you one day."

"Ah... I'm alone, and it seems that my past experience was particularly tragic, so I'm not very popular now." Gao Ling shrugged. "If there really is such a person, handsome, with a tragic life experience, and he is quite stylish, and suddenly appears in the three-dimensional world... Wow, it really explodes instantly."

"If there really is such a person..." Her best friend thought for a moment, and then suddenly turned around, "If this person still appears in the three-dimensional world, then I guess he is almost my new male god. What else is wrong? Why are you so weird today?"

"Well... I've recently fallen into a philosophical realm where I'm neither a fish nor a fish. I've begun to have some doubts about the truth and nature of this world, and even considered the structure of the society I live in. But I know I'm crazy. You don't have to pay attention to me. Just continue playing your game." Gao Ling took a sip of tea expressionlessly.

If we translate her words into human language, it means that she is curious about the relationship between monsters and humans. Why have the two been living in peace for so many years without exploding? There must be a pattern. What is that pattern? Is the government responsible?

And...is Ji Qiu drawing comics based on what happened in reality, or is the reality she lives in actually a comic world, but the Creator God allows mortals to glimpse a little of the nature of this world?

The latter conjecture made Gao Ling doubt her life, but fortunately, she was a generous person, so apart from occasional annoyance, she didn't have any other reaction.

However, if... there really is such a person in the three-dimensional world who has a tragic life and is still miserable now, then what is his mood like now?

You can draw anything in the two-dimensional world, its tolerance is different from that of the three-dimensional world. If you say that a family has been destroyed, everyone will say “yoooooo” after hearing it, and then gather around to look at the two-dimensional character who has been destroyed.

Although we know this is a very tragic thing, after all, it is fake, not real. So everyone has no real burden in their hearts and can criticize him.

However, if a family was really wiped out in the three-dimensional world... that would be something that could make the social news. Of course, if it was Yuan's situation, it would most likely be covered up and become a secret of the rich and powerful that ordinary people wouldn't know about.

So once some two-dimensional things are put into three-dimensional view, it would be a bit scary.

Gao Ling had never thought about this problem before, until the recent issues of "Demon Chronicles" came out, and then he began to think deeply about it.

Perhaps because they had met face to face once before, she really didn't see that Yuan had any blood feud. He stood there, looking like a very ordinary boy who was a bit handsome at best. He was really different from the impression she had of a blood feud...

The kind of person who bears a blood feud, in my impression... well, how should I put it? They should be more... pretentious?

Gao Ling recalled and found that except for a few little angels, most of them seemed to have a tendency to show off. What is this called... No show-off, no revenge? Or was she just simply judging people by their appearance?

As expected... she's still not very good at judging people...

Gao Ling inexplicably began to doubt herself. She felt that she was out of touch with society. She had been out of touch for so long that she couldn't even look at people anymore...

But...if the things in those comics are real, such as the courtroom and the pile of dead bodies...

Gao Ling thought again about the person he had met once.

Then he...

When I think about it this way, this person is actually quite miserable.

But this experience is truly legendary.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at a flyer in her hand, holding a calculator and pressing it frantically.

Tang Shi and Qiu Ling who were beside her came over and looked at the numbers on her calculator.

"A 25 yuan discount and a 25% discount...which one is more affordable?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the items on the list and kept pressing the calculator.

"What are you doing?" Tang Shi and Qiu Ling, who had just finished their exams, were lying nearby and watching. They had just finished their exams and had been bored in the past two days, so they came to Yuan Yuanyuan's place.

The situation at Tang Shi's home is that her parents are not at home all year round. I don't know about Qiu Ling's situation, but Yuan Yuanyuan has never seen her mention her family on her own initiative.

Yuan Yuanyuan handed the list in her hand to the two of them and asked them to read it from top to bottom.

"Oh my god, boss, you are going crazy. This is the first time you are so generous." Tang Shi, who knew Yuan Yuanyuan's little buckle very well, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's list and said a little surprised.

Yuan Yuanyuan said excitedly, "Does the Chinese New Year mean spending a lot of money?" and then continued looking for things on various discount apps.

This has been a long-standing custom in their family. Before every Chinese New Year, they would go out together to do some shopping.

Before every Chinese New Year, Yuan Yuanyuan was in the habit of going to the supermarket to buy something, as if it would not be the Chinese New Year if she didn't "spend a lot". One year before the Chinese New Year, she only had 300 yuan in cash and a train ticket, and she went into a store and bought a can of chewing gum. That year's New Year was really bleak.

After deducting all the miscellaneous things this year, Yuan Yuanyuan still has some pocket money left, and is now in a strange state of excitement.

To be honest, she hasn't done any Chinese New Year shopping for many years.

She continued to add and calculate while looking at the items on the list.

"Boss, if I do well in the exam, can you buy me a gift? I don't ask for much, just the cake will do." Tang Shi said with a sly smile as he looked at the cakes on the list.

"Get lost." Yuan Yuanyuan pricked up her ears alertly and pushed Tang Shi's head away. "You didn't even get first place, and you still dare to say you did well? You still want a gift? Come back when you get first place."

By the way...it seems like she has never gotten first place in an exam.

After listening to Yuan Yuanyuan's words, Tang Shi seemed to want to say something, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Who is outside?" Yuan Yuanyuan shouted outside, but no one answered.

"Liu An, please help me check who it is." She said casually, then lowered her head and continued to look at her list.

Liu An stood up, opened the curtain, and looked outside. Standing outside was a stranger whom he had never seen before. He was wearing a thin white suit and standing at the door with a box in his hand.

Who is this person? Why is he here in the middle of the night? Liu An looked at him and felt a little puzzled. He turned around and shouted behind him, "Boss, there's a stranger outside."

"Someone you don't know? Is he a guest?"

"No." Liu An said, "It's a man, wearing a white shirt."

What the hell, who the hell is wearing a white shirt in the middle of winter? Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the snowflakes falling outside.

Even though the clothes she gave to Liu An were always criticized for being ugly, they were actually very anti-freezing when she put them on, proving that she, as a boss, was actually very kind-hearted.

Who is he wearing a white shirt on this day? The little boy who buys matches?

Tang Shi joined in the fun and went to take a look. As she stuck her head out, she suddenly blurted out, "Oh my god, so handsome."

"Isn't he handsome? Where are you?" Yuan Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly jumped up and ran to the window happily.

She took a look and suddenly froze.

"Four, four, four..." Yuan Yuanyuan mumbled for a while. Several people around her turned to look at her. Tang Shi asked, "Boss...are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine." Yuan Yuanyuan ran over quickly, rushed forward to open the door, and the little match boy appeared at the door.

The four people at the door glanced at Yuan Yuanyuan who opened the door, with a look of sullenness that Yuan Yuanyuan was very familiar with, and then immediately lowered their heads.
