There are mythical animals at home to ward off evil spirits

When Li You knocked on the door of Qin's house, Qin Nan was chipping ice into the pool and feeding the koi under the water.

Qin Nan looked at Li You with a sad look on his face, squatting next to him without saying a word and watching him feeding the fish, feeling a little confused.

"What's wrong? It's almost New Year, why are you looking so sad? Is your work not going well?"

Li You caught the fish food and threw it in, then shook his head.

"Sigh... I'm just a little troubled and annoyed."

"what happened?"

"Um...Bai Hao, did he, uh, tell you about me?"

Qin Nan shook his head in confusion. Bai Hao had never mentioned anything about Li You to him.

Li You embarrassedly scratched his somewhat messy hair, looked at the quiet front yard, and leaned into Qin Nan's ear.

"Well, before you wake up and Bi Shen and I come to see you...that black-hearted beast in your family has harmed Bi Shen and me...what the hell."

Qin Nan was puzzled.

Li You was anxious, "That's the one Bai Hao did with you."

Qin Nan's eyes gradually widened in disbelief, "You...you and Bi Shen?!"

Li You nodded distressedly.

"But, but you two... don't look like you have anything to do with each other."

Li You nodded fiercely, "Yes, that's it."

"what?"

Li You scratched his head irritably, "It was an accident, but Bi Shen said afterwards that he would be responsible."

"Are you together?"

"……No."

"Uh, what about you?"

"Oh, I don't know either. I'm... pretty annoyed."

"What are you bothering about? Bi Shen said he would be responsible. Didn't you agree?"

Li You nodded awkwardly, "I told him that it was just a slap in the face. Now that society is so open, you don't have to take any responsibility."

Qin Nan was shocked and didn't realize that Li You was so open-minded!

"Then, what did Bi Shen say?"

"He...he agreed with what I said and then left..."

"..."

During the five years he was asleep, was society so open? Would a beast like Bi Shen agree to such a thing? !

Outrageous!It's too ridiculous!

"Then what are you bothered about now? Bi Shen has to take responsibility. You don't agree. He didn't force it and went along with your wishes. Why are you bothered?"

Li You was speechless.

He doesn't know either. If he knows, he will go directly to solve his troubles and won't bother here at all.

Qin Nan looked at his confused look and quietly sent a message to Bai Hao in the backyard.

[Bai Hao, what happened to Li You? 】

Bai Hao was watching TV with his pregnancy in his arms. Hearing Qin Nan's words, he looked in the direction of the courtyard in front of him.

[It’s okay, I’m just being mean. 】

【...Seriously! 】

[He likes Bi Shen but he doesn’t know it. Don’t let him know. If he knows it, he won’t dare to do anything. If Bi Shen talks to him, he will hide. If Bi Shen ignores him, he will rub up against him. It’s not a shame. ? Just like the way Bi Shen doesn't like him? 】

[…Uh, could it be that I’m just embarrassed and duplicity? 】

[No, he has this kind of temperament. If someone expresses his feelings to him, he will refuse and run away. But if someone avoids him, he will definitely want to get closer. The less he likes him, the more energetic he will be. 】

【...Are you really not arranging Tanuki? 】

Qin Nan really didn't believe it, it sounded untrue.

[Just watch it if you don’t believe it. He is annoying now. If Bi Shen keeps ignoring him, sooner or later he will take the initiative to find Bi Shen. 】

Bai Hao paused and continued, "It's almost New Year's Day and everyone is invited to the house for a dinner. Just watch and see if Bi Shen ignores him and whether he is in a hurry." 】

Qin Nan was at a loss for words. He believed Bai Hao's words for sure. Li You had a very contradictory temperament, but he really didn't know how to comfort Li You.

Li You stared blankly at the koi swimming in the water. The whole beast was listless.

There has been no news since Bi Shen left last time. Li You once passed by the street where Bi Shen's company was located, and only saw Bi Shen sending clients out from a distance, and then turned back to the company without finding him.

Bi Shen looked as usual and was not affected at all, but Li You was not the same. He often lost his mind and thought of Bi Shen unconsciously. In severe cases, he would dream about shameless things at night.

He felt that he was going mad, but he trapped himself in a dead end and couldn't find a way out.

Qin Nan didn't know what to say, so he silently accompanied Li You to feed the fish. After the fish were full, Li You left with sorrow.

After collecting the fish food and returning to the backyard, Qin Nan took out his hand and invited all the people and beasts in the group to have a New Year's Day dinner.

New Year's Eve is approaching now, and although everyone is busy with things, they can't bear to be restless, and everyone responds to messages very quickly.

It's just that He Yan and Wu Yulin can't come. There is an art exhibition on New Year's Day, so everyone else can come.

Last year there weren't that many people on New Year's Day, so we ate enough hot pot. But this year there were too many people, so we had to change our minds and just prepare New Year's Eve dinner. After all, we won't be able to get together on New Year's Eve.

Pi Sheng, Murong Xue, Zhou Miao, Lu Zeqi, Qi Jingtai and Qin Fang all have elders in their families, so they gather together to celebrate the New Year.

He Yan and Wu Yulin had time to come to Qin's house during the Chinese New Year. After all, there were only two of them at home, so it was too deserted, and the cub they wanted was still pregnant.

Qin Nan took Chi Wei and Tao Xiaolu to the vegetable market two days before the New Year, while Bai Hao and Qiong Ruiheng assembled warehouse shelves at home.

Xuanyu, Tangxue and Piyuan followed Shen Yan in cleaning the house. Gengchen was responsible for cleaning the roof and high places, and at the same time, he also had to supervise the work of his own house.

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, the first people to arrive were Qi Jingtai and Qin Fang, bringing with them a cute little unicorn.

Although Qin Fang is a monk, there is a huge gap in strength between Qin Fang and Qi Jingtai, so the cub completely inherited the Qilin bloodline.

Then came Pi Sheng and Murong Xue, as well as two cubs, Pi Yuhan and Murong Ge.

Pi Yuhan saw many young uncles in Qin's house and was very happy to play with them, while Murong Ge looked at a group of good-looking uncles and happily hugged and kissed each one.

Pi Sheng looked on with a grim look on his face, but he was helpless. He was very sorry that Long Chengxiu didn't come with Bai Muqiu, otherwise the little boy would suffer a loss, and he might not be able to change his temper.

He was really afraid that this stupid kid would either become a playboy in the future, or be deceived into nowhere.

Lu Zeqi and Zhou Miao came next, bringing the little girl Lu Tiantian with them.

It was really noisy when a large group of children gathered together, making noises in the front and back yards. Fortunately, today was New Year's Eve, so they could have fun as they pleased, and Bai Hao's quiet beast silently tolerated it.

Bi Shen arrived earlier than Li You. When Li You arrived, the adults were gathering in the front hall to chat, and the cubs in the front and back yards were gathering to play games.

Qin Nan and Shen Yan were busy in the kitchen. The lunch at noon was not considered a formal meal, so they would make some food mats to fill their stomachs.

When the day passes and night falls, with the sound of firecrackers and fireworks blooming in the sky, lighting up half of the night sky, the New Year's Eve dinner begins.
