New Year's Eve, a day full of traditional charm, is also affectionately called New Year's Eve. It is the most important night of the year in the Chinese world.

The hustle and bustle of the day seems to pave the way for the tranquility of the night. When the sun gradually sets in the west, the crowds of people in the streets and alleys gradually disperse, and every house is brightly lit, preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Tianhai City, this prosperous seaside city, is also immersed in a peaceful atmosphere at the moment. The bustling scene with flashing neon lights on weekdays has been replaced by warm family time, becoming quiet and peaceful.

As night falls, the streets are empty, and the shops on both sides have closed their iron gates, leaving only scattered lights swaying in the cold wind.

The clock struck 8 o'clock, and the whole city seemed to have pressed the pause button. Except for the occasional passing vehicle, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.

Against this background, a small barbecue stall still kept its lights on, maintaining its weak liveliness alone.

On the stall, the charcoal fire flickered, but there were no customers. After all, people at this moment were either sitting around the steaming dining table, enjoying the reunion dinner, or they were on their way home, anxiously driving to the warmth of their homes.

The owner of the barbecue stall was wearing that familiar black leather jacket, and the frayed cuffs bore witness to his countless hard days and nights.

There were two helpers in his shop. One was a part-time college student, full of energy and dreams. Three days ago, he had packed his bags and returned to his hometown with full of longing. The other was a vampire. She seemed to have been there recently. I also have my own things to do, so I no longer come to the store often to help.

On this special night, the barbecue stall owner was guarding this lonely business alone, waiting for the short-lived excitement that might appear late at night.

There were no customers at the moment, and the boss was happy to have some time to himself. He set up a small stool and sat in the shop watching the Spring Festival Gala.

He is not from China, and this is his first time watching the Spring Festival Gala. Although most young people do not buy into this large-scale program, the boss is quite happy and even giggles from time to time.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the store. The boss was stunned while cracking melon seeds, and then stood up. Anyway, there were no customers anymore, so he might as well close the door today.

He walked to the door and raised his hand to lower the rolling shutter door.

But just as he was pulling it halfway, a hand suddenly gently held the rolling shutter door.

"Boss, are you no longer doing business?"

A soft female voice slowly reached the boss's ears.

The rolling shutter door was halfway open, and he could only see the lower body of the person outside.

It was a pair of slender legs wrapped in jeans and the hem of a long white coat.

The boss laughed dryly and said, "I won't do it anymore, it's the Chinese New Year today."

"You are a foreigner, what year do you live in?"

The visitor said with a hint of ridicule.

"... Just do as the Romans do. Haha, I'm sorry, I really won't be doing business tonight. You should go home and reunite with your family."

He just thinks that this woman outside is really strange. During the Chinese New Year, you don't go home to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have New Year's Eve dinner, but you leave me here to have a barbecue?

"Well, yes, you are right, I do want to reunite with my family, so..."

A burst of frost slowly drifted into the store from under the rolling shutter door. The boss understood something the moment he felt the frost.

Then a claw suddenly pierced the thick rolling shutter door and grabbed the man's neck.

"So, you can't even recognize my voice? Dear brother?"

The icy chill spread along the woman's hand to the man's neck, but just when the frost was about to freeze the man's throat, an inexplicable force suddenly intervened, instantly cutting off the cold air brought by that hand.

The woman slowly took her hand back and stared at the man through the hole in the rolling shutter door that she had pierced.

"...Hati...how did you...find here."

The man was not angry because of what just happened. Instead, he opened the rolling shutter door again. When he saw the tall girl standing outside the door, the man suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.

"elder brother."

Hati's voice was also choked, and her eyes no longer had the murderous look. She took a step forward, and then hugged the man tightly.

"......I found you."

The man's hand hesitated, wanting to hug his sister back, but he seemed to have other considerations.

Finally, he sighed, held Hati's shoulders, and slowly pushed the girl away.

"Hati...Uncle Chang has set up a special barrier here. You can't use power here. You also felt the power just now. It was a warning. If there is a second time, then that power will The power will forcefully invade your body, Uncle Chang’s power is very strong, so don’t open the realm here.”

"Why, now you know how to worry about your sister?"

Hati wiped the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes with his hand, then put on his slightly mocking face and said, "Why didn't you worry about me when you ran away from home without saying a word?"

"You're not a child anymore, can't you live without me?"

The man, Skull, the brother Hati had been looking for, sighed and said: "Hati, I have my own considerations. You should leave China quickly and don't cause trouble to Uncle Chang and the others. Besides, isn't my father already?" Have you made any arrangements? He hopes you can take over his class, so..."

"Oh?"

Hati seemed to find a hint of information from Skull's words just now. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said with a sneer: "How do you know that father has arrangements for me? You should have disappeared by then."

Skull was surprised that his sister had become so cunning and perceptive now, that her unintentional words could be seen through in an instant.

Obviously she was very good and obedient before...

"In other words, my father didn't know anything about your departure. No, listening to your tone just now, and how Chang Yue and the others would actually help you like this, it's hard not to think that all this was arranged by my father. , that is to say...Brother, you left the North Country because of your father’s wishes, right?”

Skull did not answer his sister's question. He just looked directly into the other person's eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Leave China, Hati, the North Country still needs you."

"Need you too, I need you too."

Hati grabbed Skull's hand: "Brother, no matter what father said to you, we are still family. How could you leave me like this? We have never been separated since the day we were born, so ..."

"It seems we came at the wrong time..."

At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from outside the store. Hati and Skull turned around and saw Li Muhan, Xia Yue, Bai Ran, Yue Li, Lin Ziyu and Yin Qi gathered at the door, talking with each other. A curious look looked at the dispute between the two siblings.

"No." Skull immediately stretched out his hand towards Li Muhan: "You came at the right time."
