Now both sides fell into silence.

"Yaoyao is angry?" Jiang You asked.

"No." Lu Yaoyao shook his head, even though the other party couldn't see it, "The Night Patrol Department's business is the main thing. It's normal to have tasks. You go and do it first."

"What are you doing? Are you preparing a table of dishes?"

Lu Yaoyao glanced at the washed and cut ingredients on hand, pursed her lips, and said, "No, I guessed that you wouldn't be able to come back, so I haven't started preparing yet."

"Okay...if there's anything you want, I'll bring it back to you." Jiang You asked again.

"I've bought all the New Year's goods I should buy." Lu Yaoyao said softly, "I hope you come back safely."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life." Jiang You said.

The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Lu Yaoyao sighed, and the joy in his brows gradually faded away.

"Haw?" The fox stood at the door, looking at her doubtfully.

"No need to do the papers, he might not even come back today."

Lu Yaoyao no longer thought about cooking, sat back on the sofa and turned on the TV.

It's past ten o'clock, and it's the exciting time for the program.

The girl stared at it for seven or eight minutes, not knowing what was being said, so she simply turned on her phone.

"Yunjin gathering place?"

Lu Yaoyao was confused.

Yunjin is close to the sea, and there are special alien species and phenomena in the sea, but in most cases they will not invade the land.

The several seaside anomalies recorded in the textbook are not serious.

What can happen over there?

Lu Yaoyao searched but couldn't find anything.

Jiang You didn't reply, he was probably busy.

While watching the TV absentmindedly and searching, the girl pursed her lips.

【What happened over there in Yunjin?】

She took the initiative to ask Jiang You.

Waited for several minutes, no reply.

【Where are the people?】

【Are you busy?】

"This dead Jiang You... Bah, bah, it's unlucky." Lu Yaoyao picked up the doll next to him, pinched it as if it were Jiang You, and bit his little silver teeth, "You bastard, you just say a few words and run away during the Chinese New Year.

Damn it, bastard, that’s such a bastard.”

"Dudu..."

Eh?

Lu Yaoyao looked over.

The silly fox waved its little paws and clicked on the screen of the phone.

I don’t know whether intentionally or unintentionally, I dialed Jiang You’s phone number.

"He is busy, don't call him."

Lu Yaoyao took the phone and hesitated for half a second, but did not hang up immediately.

The phone only rang twice.

"Hello, the user you dialed is not in the service area, please call again later..."

No longer in the service area?

Is Jiang You running too fast?

I heard that his current contact device is specially provided by war generals, and the signal is extremely wide. As long as people are in the north, they can contact him in most cases.

What mission is he going on again?

Lu Yaoyao felt bored for a while.

"Are you hungry, Kitsune?"

"Hmm..." The fox nodded repeatedly and pointed at the dishes in the kitchen with his little paw.

"Let's do it another day, whether or not to eat bread, it will save you trouble."

“Chir??”

One gave the fox the final exam paper; the other, whose husband was away, fed the fox bread in a half-hearted manner.

You two two-legged beasts have gone too far!

"Let's go cook now."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, rubbed the fox's forehead, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Take, take, take…

The kitchen knife flew up and down, making a neat sound.

The fox chirped, squatting at her feet for a while, and then ran to the living room to watch the dumpling-making sketch.

"Huhu, can I make you a salad?"

"Chirp——"

The fox's voice was drawn out.

"Want to eat meat?"

"Haw!"

They chatted with each other.

It's a pity that the one who answered her was just a fox.

After a few words, Lu Yaoyao sighed slightly, "The house is quite big, but now it feels empty. He doesn't come back all year round. I don't need to live in such a big house by myself. Huhu, what do you think I should do if I go back to school?"

Sample?"

"I don't think so."

A voice sounded from behind.

The girl looked startled, then showed a bit of surprise.

Before she could turn around, a face was close to her ear, and an arm was wrapped around her waist.

"What, you want to run away?" Jiang You said with a smile.

"Didn't you go to Yunjin?" Lu Yaoyao suppressed his surprise and said with a straight face, "Why are you coming back?"

"If you don't come back, someone will move to the school."

"That's right. Two people live in such a big house. If you don't come back, it will be just me and Huhu. It's almost like a haunted house." Lu Yaoyao glared, "Get your hands away."

"I'm just teasing you, how could I not come back during the Chinese New Year?"

Jiang You coughed lightly and glanced at the table, "Isn't it done yet?"

"I'm doing it, don't bother me."

"I'm angry."

"Who would be angry with you? They are not familiar with you." Lu Yaoyao muttered, "The mission you said is true or false."

"There is indeed something going on in Yunjin. I heard that a group of social youths with dyed yellow hair crashed into the city in a big boat... A group of fifth-level people have already rushed over, so they didn't send me in."

Jiang You took a sip and said, "I'm starving to death. How long will it take for me to eat?"

"Just half an hour, wait outside."

Lu Yaoyao blasted him out.

Soon, before eleven o'clock, the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was prepared.

Normally, the New Year's Eve dinner is held at five or six o'clock, but the two originally decided to eat together after Jiang You attended the party.

Who knew he was dragging his feet and arriving so late.

But it’s not the official meal time yet.

Two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed on the table, with a large cooked fish placed in the middle and several other simple side dishes with small portions.

After pouring the drinks, the two of them stood in front of the table.

Let the ancestors eat first and bless future generations.

Jiang You was alone in his family and had no ancestors.

Lu Yaoyao has never met his grandparents, so these two sets of bowls and chopsticks represent Lu Nanfeng and her long-dead mother.

She stepped forward, knelt on a soft cushion, kowtowed three times, stood up and hesitated for half a second, and was about to step forward to put away the bowls and chopsticks and replace them with the real dinner for the two of them, when Jiang You stepped forward.

Standing where she was, she kowtowed three times.
