【Celebrate the festival with joy and welcome the New Year with lights and decorations】

【Family Fun】

…

Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door late at night, wondering whether she should tear down the couplet. After all, she had never expected that her own couplet would be included in a comic strip, and not a single word had been changed.

She thought about it for about five minutes, then suddenly turned around and came back.

That's it... After all, it's issued by the bank, so I guess they are all like this. It's not a special couplet, you can see them all over the streets.

It was already past midnight. Normally the street lights would be turned off at this time, but today was Chinese New Year, so they would probably be on all day. In any case, when Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, the lights outside the window were still bright.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned over and lay on the bed, picking up her phone again.

She looked at the screen and thought, let’s just draw… In fact, she wanted to see what kind of painting she could produce on such an ordinary day.

Yuan in the comic quietly finished pasting the couplets, and then walked into the house alone. Yuan Yuanyuan saw "him" pick up a piece of candy on the table, peel it open, put it into the dumpling skin, and then silently wrapped the dumplings.

"He" made ten dumplings in total, not one more, not one less, filled with leeks and eggs. After making them, he started to cook them, and after the water boiled, he threw the dumplings into the pot.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt inexplicably complicated when she read the comics. To be honest, she was obviously very happy when she was alone, thinking about what to eat on the first and second days of the Chinese New Year. As a result, it was drawn in the comics. For some reason, she felt like a lonely old woman...

At this time, maybe I can take a screenshot and edit it, and write "Close the empty-nest elderly" in large letters on the back. I guess it won't feel incongruous at all.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the comics and thought, am I that miserable? No, I guess not... Oh my god, this feels so miserable. Why did it suddenly become so miserable? She was so miserable that she could even make up some things in her mind.

In the comic, Yuan was sitting quietly at the table eating. He was the only one in the room and his face was expressionless.

…Just when Yuan Yuanyuan began to consider whether she should keep a full-toothed smile when she was alone at home during the holidays, the next Hua Yuan suddenly raised his head and glanced at the table. His eyes were very calm, his pupils were dark black, reflecting white light.

Then the picture suddenly changed, the edges became jagged and blurred, and the picture seemed to be hit by soft light.

At this moment when there was no warning at all, Ji Qiu suddenly used the memory killing method, and the scene suddenly turned to another small house. The two houses were obviously completely different in terms of furnishings and other aspects, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable sense of similarity.

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the room, had her eyes wandering inexplicably. She was sitting alone in the room, but she had a feeling that there were other people looking at her.

So she didn't know where the "air man" came from and denied it three times in a row...

...It has nothing to do with me, I don't know, it's not me.

…

"Yuan's past?" Gao Ling looked at the content of the comic and said silently: "I hope Ji Qiu won't slap me in the face. The original author's slap in the face is enough for AB. I don't want a second one..."

She looked at the blurry picture in her memory, in which there were two people vaguely visible.

One is a woman and the other is a boy.

That boy...is probably Yuan, and the woman next to him is a character who has never appeared before.

Gao Ling saw the woman was making dumplings, and the boy sitting next to her was obviously a Q version of Yuan, looking very cute.

To be honest, it was the first time that Gao Ling saw a Q version character in a comic that made her feel so cute, and it was a kind of contrasting cuteness. Just like the Q version of Hozuki when he was a child and the cute version of him as an adult, there was a strong contrast in cuteness, especially the curved lip shape, Yuan was the same when he was a child.

The long legs in his memory were now not enough to reach the ground. They were actually short legs. So he sat on a high chair, swinging his legs back and forth.

[Yuan ate a few dumplings and suddenly remembered something. He called out to the back, "Sister? How many more?"]

[“It’s almost done. Eat yours first and don’t worry about me.” The woman making dumplings turned around and said.]

[The woman's face is not visible. The picture only shows her chin. It can be seen that she has a very beautiful and small chin and a pair of bright red cherry lips.]

[Her hands were slender and long, like two pieces of jade. When she was making dumplings, a few strands of messy hair fell down from her ears, forming a soft arc.]

[The room was quiet for a while, and suddenly an excited voice came from the back, "Sister, I bit into the candy!"]

[“Ah? You bit me.” The woman turned around and smiled beautifully, her lips curved into a beautiful arc. “Then you will definitely have good luck next year. This one from our family is always very accurate.”]

…

"Wait? Yuan has a sister?" Gao Ling was stunned. "Don't add to the character randomly! If you add...if you add to the character like this, won't I get slapped in the face?"

Gao Ling thought of the character she had created for Yuan, who had no relatives or friends, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead in a headache. She flipped through the book again and suddenly realized something.

This Yuan's sister...where is she now?

As Gao Ling was flipping through the pages, his movements suddenly slowed down. They were all people who had read countless comics... In less than a minute, Gao Ling suddenly realized the most plausible possibility.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking, no way, it can't be that tragic... But she thought about the comic's front and back contrasts, and the soft light in the comic, and suddenly felt that there was no other possibility except this.

Yuan Yuanyuan, who was reading the comic far away, also realized this possibility. She was stunned for a moment, then flipped back and saw a picture that confirmed her guess.

[There is a small incense burner in the room with three incense sticks burning on it. There is no memorial tablet and no photos.]

【Yuan ate all the dumplings, put down his chopsticks, walked to the incense burner, and bowed three times.】

[He didn't say anything either, and his face remained expressionless from beginning to end.]

[The smoke inside the room swirled into a small mist in the air, making it impossible to see a person's face.]

Yuan Yuanyuan slowly put down her phone, turned around and looked at the small incense burner behind her.

...This is the small incense burner that appears in the comic today.

But the way she lit incense was obviously not the way it was in the comics... Today, she was thinking about the New Year, so she lit three sticks, two for her parents, and one for Lu Yuan.

This incense burner has always been kept at home. Yuan Yuanyuan used to light two or three incense sticks for Yuan. But today is the first time it appears in a comic... No, it should be said that it actually appeared in a comic.

Ji Qiu used the scene of her lighting incense to point out one thing - that is, Yuan had an older sister, who had passed away.

Yuan Yuanyuan now has only one question in her mind - how...did she die?

She vaguely felt that she seemed to have heard that Yiqi had a sister...but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't know where she had heard it.

Human memory often has many problems. The most common one is that sometimes you clearly remember that you have done something, but later you find out that you haven't done it. This is usually because your brain is playing a joke on you.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't trust her memory much, but she was still able to make inferences. So far, 99.9% of what she knew about "Yi Qi" came from a fat cat.

The rest she knew from the idle talk of tavern guests and from various monster biographies.

Yuan Yuanyuan exited Mengman and clicked on her chat group. As soon as she entered, she found that Fat Cat and Heihongse had been chatting for a long time.

What they talked about was exactly what happened tonight.

When Yuan Yuanyuan just clicked in, she saw Fatty Cat very excited, shouting loudly in the group.

[Group leader: Oh my god! Oh my god! Have you read the comics updated tonight? ]

【Black and Red: I saw it, what happened?】

[Group leader: Come on, let’s bet on how angry Yuan will be this time, and where will he get angry? ]

No... he won't get angry. At least he has to figure out what's going on before getting angry, Yuan Yuanyuan thought in her heart.

[Black and Red: I have a very sinister idea... Do you think Ji Qiu drew this to deliberately provoke Yuan and make him angry during the Hundred Demons Festival? Calculating the date... It seems that it will be updated on the night of the Hundred Demons Festival. ]

【Quanquan: You guys... do you know that Yiqi has a sister? 】

[Group leader: ...Who would know this? Almost everything about Yiqi has been cleared up. Who would know where his sister is from? But I think I should draw his sister soon...]

【Black and Red: Hey, how did his sister die? If the way she died was different, this Yuan’s next move would definitely be different.】

[Group leader: Are you asking me? I think Ji Qiuhua is being naughty this time, but now I am sure that Ji Qiu and Yuan are not in the same group. I looked at the records of Yi Qi, and it says that he is quite taciturn when he is not carrying out the mission. From his stories, he should be a very decent person. If his sister is very important to him, I feel that he would not draw his sister...]

Yuan Yuanyuan watched their conversation and suddenly felt very uneasy.

She originally thought that she heard the news about Sister Yiqi from Fat Cat, but unexpectedly it was not the case. Fat Cat and Heihongse both made it clear that they didn't even know there was such a person.

Where did you hear that?

Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt like there was a layer of window paper that was about to be pierced, but she couldn't pierce that layer of paper, which made her very upset.

Especially now, a very strange feeling filled her heart. She suddenly wanted to know how Yiqi's sister died, and she was worried about it.

She had a feeling that she wanted to catch a person or a monster right now to get to the bottom of this matter. However, she didn't know who knew about this matter, so she had an indescribable feeling of frustration in her heart.

Is there...is there a way to let her know? Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly stood up from her chair and walked around the room. After walking for a while, she suddenly realized something.

This matter... has nothing to do with "Yuan Yuanyuan", it only has to do with the current "Yuan".

If you want to find out something... you must first use the identity of "Yuan" to inquire. There is no other way except this method.

Yuan Yuanyuan transformed instantly, without even reading the rest of the Demon Chronicles, and walked out the door. She had a strong premonition that as long as she transformed into Yuan, she would definitely know what was going on.

Because once this matter is drawn... it will be exposed. If even Jixiang Yu says that Yuan will be "angry", then the people related to this matter... will they stop Yuan from getting angry?

Yuan Yuanyuan buttoned her coat tightly and walked on the deserted street on New Year's Eve.

There were bright red lights on both sides of the street. She walked in the red and felt inexplicably dizzy.

If there is...the only place open to the public is the small shop in the nursery area.

If you want to find Yuan, you can only go there to find him. Although not many people know that Yuan is there, it is definitely not a small number.

What should I do next? Yuan Yuanyuan thought.

...If you are willing, please take the bait.
