When the Chinese New Year is approaching, the city is always particularly lively.

Because the way of life of monsters is different from that of humans, they still retain many ancient customs, which no longer exist in human society.

There should be no flowers in winter, but it is different for the Li family. Their yard is full of various flowers. When you walk into the yard, you can smell the fragrance of flowers.

A yard full of flowers. City C is a northern city. Now only the Li family can find a yard full of flowers.

The Li family's house is so big that it can't even be called a simple home. Countless little monsters live in it. As one of the oldest families in City C, they have countless followers.

Standing at the door and looking into the yard, countless flames lit up every corner of the yard, like a brilliant and magnificent astrological map.

"How is it this year? It looks pretty good compared to last year." A man stood on a high mountain in the Li family's territory, looking down.

"It's very good." An old man's voice sounded, "Look at the flowers in the yard, they are so beautiful."

"How are your little monsters this year? Have you gathered all the offerings?"

"Well, it's all here." The old voice sighed heavily, "But, I guess the girl in my family is still the same as in previous years."

"Don't be like that. It's really ridiculous that you, the Li family, are still worried about this." The person who spoke laughed. "The Li family is the most charitable family in C City. All the monsters in C City yearn for the Li family. Yingying is just too young. He will be fine when he grows up."

"I hope so." The old man sighed again, "I hope that every year in the future will be as peaceful as this year."

City C is still very busy today, and in a small clothing store in the kindergarten area, there are several people standing downstairs on the first floor, staring eagerly up.

"What's wrong with the boss? He's been upstairs for half an hour, why hasn't he come down yet?" Tang Shi's neck became stiff from looking up.

"Yeah...why hasn't he come out yet? If he doesn't come out, I'll be late." Liu An also looked up and said.

"What kind of connection do the boss have with the Li family? Why would the Li family send him that kind of thing?" Liu An still hasn't thought through the question clearly.

I just listened to Tang Shi's popular science talk. That kind of gift box should be the one used by the Li family when visiting important people. It should contain a lot of valuable things.

The Li family is one of the most famous families in City C. Their gift boxes are all pink in color because of their family tradition.

Everyone in City C knows that their family likes flowers and all kinds of pink things. Their family emblem is a deformed flower.

"Although you said it was a gift box for an important person..." Liu An said uncertainly, "I think the boss's reaction was not surprise, but more like shock."

He recalled the action of his boss just now. If the Li family had this position, then the gift box they sent out should be a very face-saving thing, and there would be nothing wrong with just taking it out openly.

However, the boss's reaction at the time was to hastily take the item away without even letting them take a second look at it.

Until now, he has not come down, and he has not even mentioned taking the thing down to show it to them. This is simply unbelievable for the boss who has always been overly cautious.

What's wrong with him? Does that thing mean anything to him?

Just when Liu An was daydreaming, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

He and the two girls beside him all raised their heads and looked upwards.

The boss came down from upstairs with a blank expression on his face and without the box in his hands.

Liu An's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his boss's face.

Something is wrong... Something is wrong with the boss's expression.

The two little girls next to them looked at Yuan Yuanyuan walking down from above and gradually lowered their voices.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the three people below. They were staring at her intently, making her feel creepy.

She wondered if there was something wrong with me.

Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little guilty. Just now she wanted to run naked upstairs to express her inner excitement...mainly because there were so many gold bars, which could definitely destroy all her rationality.

Until she went downstairs, she felt that the expression on her face was out of control, just like a cerebral thrombosis patient twitching constantly, the corners of her mouth kept rising, then she forced them down, and then they rose again...

Then Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she absolutely could not go downstairs with this expression. She adjusted herself for a long time upstairs. Although she could not make a normal expression, she could still keep a straight face.

After confirming that her face had turned from cerebral thrombosis to facial paralysis, Yuan Yuanyuan carefully walked down from the upstairs.

But when she opened the door, she saw three people looking up at her from below.

Although Yuan Yuanyuan sensed something was wrong for a moment, she didn't think much about it. She looked at the time and said to Liu An, "Tonight...just make something to eat. Just make your portions, don't make too much."

It was time for Liu An to go to work, and Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid that he would be late. Normally, Liu An would have started cooking early today, but today he was delayed a little because he had guests.

Although Yuan Yuanyuan said that she had put away the things in the box, there was no reason for her to throw them away once they were in her hands. The reason she was not using them now was because she was afraid of getting into trouble. She would first see if there was anything going on in the next few days. If there was nothing, she would take those things out.

Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan felt very happy today and wanted to celebrate. Liu An was going to be late today, so she asked him to do less. She sneaked out after they left, went home to buy some spare ribs and started cooking...

Ah, so beautiful, so beautiful.

Yuan Yuanyuan was almost flying. She jumped to the kitchen with an expressionless face. There were some steamed buns in the kitchen. The spare ribs would probably have to be stewed until late at night. She was afraid that she would be starving, so she decided to eat a steamed bun first while waiting.

I remember there seemed to be some salted vegetables here...

Yuanyuan was originally a salty fish, but even at her most salty period, she still had great confidence in two things.

One is her ability to shapeshift, and the other is her hearing.

She was extremely sensitive to both. For example, no one could have imagined how far away she could hear things without even trying.

At first, she thought this was an ability that all monsters had, but after a long time, she realized that this was not the case.

Because of her unexpected ability, people often say interesting things in her "ear".

Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan knew a lot of secrets.

While she was looking for salted vegetables, she suddenly heard someone talking in the lobby.

Yuan Yuanyuan was putting pickled vegetables in a plastic bag while eavesdropping absentmindedly.

"The boss just said... that he doesn't need to do his share."

"Have you ever seen your boss skip meals? I haven't."

"Yes, he told me last time that when he was practicing magic, he ate three bowls of rice in one meal... When I was practicing magic, I was so tired that I couldn't eat a single bite."

"I think my boss is the kind of person who would cry while eating three bowls of rice after breaking up with his girlfriend. He is a very heartless person."

Hey, what are you doing? Don’t think you can’t hear me and criticize me, Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.

"He can't be..."

"What is it?"

"It can't be..."

Yuan Yuanyuan's ears stood up.

"Is he going to drink alone secretly again? I remember there was a bottle of Erhu in the kitchen. Does he have something to do with the Li family?"

"Drinking alone secretly?! When has the boss ever done something so impressive?" Tang Shi's terrified voice came over.

"Well... a long time ago, he got drunk one day, but you two were not there that day."

"How is that possible? With the boss looking so dead, how could he…"

Yuan Yuanyuan walked over with a steamed bun in her mouth, her eyebrows tightly wrinkled. She half squatted and stealthily approached the wooden door of the kitchen.

She thought to herself, when did I ever drink secretly? It was only this once in my life that I drank too much, and Liu An saw it.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt very confused listening to the nonsense of the group of people outside. If she continued like this, she would be called a treacherous and sentimental person by this group of people, just like Lin Daiyu.

She was about to go out and interrupt the conversation between the three people, and give them a cerebral thrombosis-like smile to prove that she was not the kind of person who would complain at all, when she suddenly heard Liu An say something.

"Wait a minute, I also secretly hid some pork head meat... I was afraid that the boss would steal it and eat it all, so I hid it on the roof. It's not good to drink on an empty stomach, so I cut it for him and brought it in to drink..."

"Aren't you tired of eating only pork head? I still have half a bag of drunkard peanuts, leftover from lunch." Tang Shi said.

"I, I have a small cake there..."

Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed all the steamed buns in her hand into her mouth, chewed them hard a few times and swallowed them, almost choking herself to death.

Very good, now I am Lin Daiyu.

…

A bright moon hung in the sky, and four people were sitting under the moon.

The four people were sitting quietly on the roof. There was a small stove on the roof with a small wine stove on it and a few small plates beside it.

"Drink less." Liu An said to the boss next to him. He just said it casually and felt that he might not listen.

The boss drank a glass of wine without saying a word, then gently lifted the wine pot beside him and put it on the stove.

Liu An looked at the boss's slender fingers, gently holding the wine bottle.

Liu An knew that the boss was a powerful monster a long time ago, but he had never seen any trace of a powerful monster in the boss.

He always looked very salty, but now, when he picked up the wine bottle, Liu An suddenly discovered something very subtle.

The boss looks very nice when he is boiling wine.

He looked like he was a little drunk, with one hand on the ground and the other holding the small wine bottle. His face was as cold as water, and the movement of boiling the wine was really smooth.

Tang Shi and Qiu Ling who were standing by obviously saw it too. They looked at each other and immediately dared not say a word.

"Don't you have to go to work?" Liu An suddenly heard his boss ask.

"Ahem, it's not too busy these days, so there's no need yet." The number of people on monster alert has doubled recently, probably because it's close to the New Year, so naturally there are fewer dead monsters. He just asked Sanda Scar, who he usually works with, to help him for a day.

After hearing this, the boss said "Oh" lightly and stopped asking questions.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought to herself, is my performance like Lin Daiyu enough... enough, is it enough?

She took out a small handkerchief, spit out all the wine she had just drunk, and then wiped her mouth gracefully.

These are essential skills for a bartender. Although she doesn't serve drinks, these are all taught to her by her colleagues.

She looked at the moon, sighed softly, then turned her head, with her back to the three people, and took a bite of the pork head with a fierce look on her face.

The cheeks were stretched almost to the neck, and the bite took off a small half of it.

While Yuan Yuanyuan was eating, she suddenly heard Liu An say something behind her.

"Boss...if you have anything sad, just speak it out. You will feel much better after speaking it out."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and took another bite of the pork head, a happy smile on her face.

Ah...what did you say?

After the update of "Yao Ji" this Saturday, a round moon was drawn on it, and under the moon were two people sitting, wearing two pieces of clothing, one gray and one red.
