I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Xia Chujian suddenly thought of the duplex suite opposite...

Before she left, the place was still being renovated.

Has it been renovated?

So in addition to renovating the inside of the house, they also created a hanging garden beach on the roof?

If you are so rich, why don't you buy a house in the tall, well-decorated community next door?

Xia Chujian muttered in his heart, full of doubts.

The team's aircraft quickly landed on the roof of the old apartment building.

Several people jumped from the aircraft.

Suddenly, a big black dog rushed in from the stairs in the glass flower room and barked at them against the glass wall.

The sound was extremely loud.

And the dog looks particularly ferocious.

It was about half a man tall, with four slender legs, but a huge head. It didn't even look like a dog's head, but a bull's head.

He bared his teeth at the five people, revealing huge white canine teeth that were intertwined with each other, and drool dripped down, looking like he was about to eat people.

Xia Chujian subconsciously turned his wrist and held a pistol in his palm, aiming it at the dog's forehead.

As long as the dog dares to break through the glass wall and rush out, she will shoot it!

But she couldn't take action, because soon, a middle-aged woman appeared from the stairs of the glass greenhouse and grabbed the dog's leash.

The big dog whimpered when he was pulled, and immediately fell to the ground, becoming obedient.

Xia Chujian still raised his gun and pointed it in the direction of the dog, but looked at the middle-aged woman.

This woman looked very docile, with her black hair tied into a bun at the back of her head.

She is wearing winter casual clothes that are obviously home-like. The style is generous and well-fitted, giving her a low-key laziness and elegance.

Xia Chujian also noticed that this man was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes with black soles and red flowers embroidered on them.

They should also be shoes worn indoors and at home.

The middle-aged woman turned on the intercom and said, "Sorry, I scared you all. We just moved in today and are not familiar with this place yet. Are you residents of this building?"

Xia Chujian: "...".

Could this be her new neighbor?

That awesome person who almost blocked the only elevator in the building for renovation?

From the looks of it, this family is really not short of money.

I just don’t know why people like this are crowded in a backward and old community like theirs.

Xia Chujian slowly retracted his gun and said calmly: "Hello, I am a resident here, and these are my friends. They came to my house for New Year's Eve."

The middle-aged woman said "Oh", raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "So that's it, then I won't disturb you anymore..."

She was about to turn around and go downstairs when Xia Chujian stopped her.

"I'm sorry, madam, we have to go downstairs. Could you please open the glass door of your house and let us go downstairs?"

The glass flower room encircles the only stairway to go downstairs on the roof.

The middle-aged woman also turned back in surprise, looked at her and said, "...but this is my home and we are not familiar with each other. How can I open the door and let you enter my home?"

Xia Chujian smiled, pointed to the staircase enclosed by the glass flower room and said, "But the only staircase on the top floor is enclosed by you. If I don't go through that door, how can I get down?"

The woman smiled with a good-natured look and said softly: "I'm sorry I can't help you. This is my home now. I don't know you, so I can't let you use this door."

"Then how do I get downstairs?"

"Just go down the same way you came up..." The middle-aged woman glanced at the small aircraft parked behind them, as if to say, wouldn't it be better to fly down in the aircraft and then take the elevator upstairs?

Xia Chujian doesn't want to do this.

She stopped pulling out her gun and went straight to her waist, took out a tactical dagger and said, "Neighbor, the roof of the building is a public place. Every resident in this building has the right to use it. You can't just use a few pieces of glass to surround it." Once you get up, you can claim ownership.”

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers and the dagger blade flashed out.

She pointed her dagger at the glass wall of the glass flower room and said, "Either you open the door, or I open a door here myself."

She drew a rectangular shape on the glass wall with her dagger, one person high.

The middle-aged woman's expression changed. She wanted to say something, but she held back and said, "Wait a moment. I'll go down and ask the owner here."

Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow, "Are you not the master?"

"...How can I be the master? I'm just a servant of this family." The middle-aged woman still smiled good-naturedly.

That smile seemed to be tattooed on his face.

Not long after, the man's figure appeared at the top of the stairs again. She pressed a remote control, and two pieces of glass on the glass wall slid open to both sides, revealing a door.

As expected, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Xia Chujian waved to his teammates, "Come here and get down from here."

Ye Shijie, Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong walked into the glass greenhouse in silence one by one.

Xia Chujian was the last one to go in.

After she entered, the glass door of the glass flower room closed automatically.

Xia Chujian said: "You have to give me one of your remote controls. I usually go to the roof of the building, so I can't ask you for the remote control to open the door every time."

No matter how well-mannered the middle-aged woman was, she was still overwhelmed by Xia Chujian's request.

The smile on her face disappeared and she said lightly: "This is my master's property, I can't make the decision."

"Then let's talk to someone who can make the decision. Otherwise, I will open the door myself." Xia Chujian shook the dagger in his hand.

This time the threat was finally understood by the middle-aged woman.

Her lips pursed, her eyes focused, and she stared at the dagger for a while.

But no matter whether Xia Chu met or the four people in front of her, their expressions did not change at all.

The middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly and she became respectful: "Okay, I'll go ask the owner right away."

She turned and went downstairs.

Ye Shijie and the four of them followed into the stairs.

Xia Chujian glanced at the black dog lying by the pool.

The black dog bared its teeth at her.

Xia Chujian looked away, thinking that the gap between dogs and dogs might be greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Her little Sixi is the cutest, almost like a different species.

She followed into the stairs.

There is an L-shaped staircase going down.

Turning the corner L, you can see a door, which is the entrance to the second floor of the duplex opposite her neighbor.

Continuing down from the corner, there is the corridor on the top floor.

Xia Chujian's home is on the south side of this corridor.

Ye Shijie and others had been here last time, and soon arrived at the door of Xia Chujian's house and rang the doorbell.

Xia Yuanfang saw from the monitor at the door that it was Xia Chujian and her "colleagues", and immediately came over to open the door.

The temperature in the corridor outside is very low, so as soon as the door is opened, you can feel a heat wave coming.

Ye Shijie, Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong respectfully said: "Happy New Year to Aunt Xia!"

Xia Yuanfang smiled: "Come in quickly, don't be so polite, it's too foreign."

…

Almost at the same moment, Zong Ruoan returned to his penthouse duplex apartment in Mulan City.

He didn't bother to turn on the light, and the room was completely dark.

Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Zong Ruoan let out a long breath.

At this time, he just wanted to be alone.

Not long after, his quantum optical brain beeped.

When he lowered his head, he saw a video call request from his mother, Tantai Jinyu, the eldest princess of the imperial family who was very talkative.

Zong Ruoan didn't want to answer the call at first, but thinking that today was New Year's Eve and he didn't plan to go home, he still answered the call.

Tantai Jinyu's beautiful and mature face appeared in front of him.

She must be old, but she is very well-maintained and looks to be in her early thirties at most. No one can tell that she is almost sixty.

"Ruo'an, are you really not going home to celebrate the New Year this year?" Tantai Jinyu asked distressedly, "You have lost weight. Are you very busy recently?"

Zong Ruo'an cheered up and said with a smile: "I'm too busy and I haven't finished some things, so I won't go back this year. I will go home when my work here is over."

He planned not to go back during the entire New Year holiday.

Tantai Jinyu carefully observed her son's expression, and she had to say that as the child grew older, she could no longer see his true thoughts.

It could be seen that he was a little tired, but he seemed to be in a good mood and did not look depressed or uneasy.

But Tantai Jinyu definitely didn't believe that Zong Ruoan didn't go home just because he was busy with work.

Who in the entire Beichen Empire would dare to let her son, Tantai Jinyu, work overtime on New Year's Eve? !

That definitely means you don’t want to live anymore.

So there is only one reason, that is, her son does not want to go home to celebrate New Year's Eve, nor does he want to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Tantai Jinyu did not expose Zong Ruoan's true thoughts and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't come back. Anyway, I have already sent someone to send you a New Year's Eve dinner. - What time is it over there now?"

Zong Ruoan was speechless, "...it's only three o'clock in the afternoon, who has New Year's Eve dinner so early?"

"Is it so dark at three o'clock in the afternoon?" Tantai Jinyu raised an eyebrow, "What kind of place is Guiyuan Star? The time is very different from our Shaofu Star."

Zong Ruoan said: "The temperature here on Guiyuan Planet is abnormal this year, especially in Mulan City. It is several dimensions colder than in previous years."

"how to say?"

"It is said that the winter here used to be at most minus 20 degrees Celsius. But now, the highest temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius. As soon as the sun goes down, the temperature drops suddenly, and the lowest can be as low as minus 80 degrees Celsius. - I heard this For a few days, there were frozen humans and humanoids everywhere outside the city.”

Tantai Jinyu frowned and said, "Ruo'an, don't say these words during the Chinese New Year. It's unlucky."

Zong Ruoan: "..."

He said softly: "It's my fault, I won't say anything anymore. By the way, Mom, who sent me the New Year's Eve dinner? When will it arrive? Do you need me to pick it up?"

Tantai Jinyu smiled and shook her head: "Of course you don't need to pick it up. I said I would deliver it to you, and I just want to deliver it to you."

Zong Ruo'an: "...What's delicious? I can't use so much by myself."

"Whether it's our clan or the royal family, there are rules for the New Year's Eve dinner. Even if you can't finish it, you still have to put it on the table."

Tantai Jinyu said, looking at the New Year's Eve menu in front of her, and said: "Eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, eight steamed dishes, four soups, and four staple dishes, a total of thirty-two dishes. , it’s already the most economical.”

Zong Ruo'an thought that he couldn't finish all these dishes in a week.

However, his eyes drifted towards the low and dilapidated community outside the French window.

The lights there are bright and the decorations are quite decent.

The building with the most beautiful light show is the building where Xia Chujian lives.

Zong Ruoan suddenly didn't want to spend New Year's Eve alone.

Second update at 1pm.
