"No change."

Ding Jing answered without hesitation, tilting her head back and closing her eyes.

"Why? Wouldn't it be safer to switch?"

"Why should we change? I'm not one to be trifled with. If they dare to come, I don't mind taking more credit."

As she spoke, Ding Jing picked up a small piece of fruit from the table and put it in her mouth, speaking very casually as if she were talking about something insignificant.

Seeing this, Xia Qianmeng didn't try to persuade her anymore. She just sat down next to her and ate fruit together: "Okay, if this place gets damaged because of me, I'll compensate you with a new house."

"Isn't this necessary?"

Ding Jing knew, of course, that Xia Qianmeng was now wealthy, so she didn't stand on ceremony.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, and while everyone is on holiday and happily preparing for a good year, on the far side of the moon, in an area undetectable by human instruments, strange and powerful alien beasts have already landed.

The time they mentioned for their journey, which was supposed to take a year, wasn't actually that punctual; for example, they arrived ahead of schedule.

Moreover, they learned from the experience of the advance teams and did not launch an attack or appear in human sight rashly. Instead, they first established their base on the far side of the moon.

As for now, their plan is progressing smoothly; at least humans haven't discovered them yet. Two days passed in the blink of an eye, the Lunar New Year arrived, and firecrackers were being set off in every household; the air was filled with laughter.
Not only that, the news on TV was full of good news, such as the fact that there hadn't been any alien beasts on Earth for a long time, and that there had been new progress in artificial armor, which gave humanity more confidence in dealing with alien beasts in the future.

However, even in such a lively environment, Xia Qianmeng did not go out to enjoy the atmosphere as usual, but instead stayed at home in her nightgown, just like Ding Jing.

Whether in the past or now, Xia Qianmeng doesn't really like celebrating the New Year. In the past, it wasn't important whether she celebrated the New Year or not because she had no one to accompany her. But now, she just finds the firecrackers too noisy.

Also, she found herself unable to bear seeing other people's families reunited. It wasn't that she wanted others to be unhappy, but seeing others like that always stung her, because it was something she, with her strong personality, lacked.

Even if she and her sister went back to her home, it would never be the same as before. So, being sensible, she didn't want to disrupt the harmony that belonged only to her parents and sister. Now, she just stays at home and lives her own little life.

On the other hand, Xia Qianxue's situation was not much different from what Xia Qianmeng had guessed. Xia Qianmeng took the initiative to say that she did not want to come back, so Xia Wei and Xu Fangying did not feel any pressure when arranging other things.

Although there was one less person in the family, they were still very happy, and seemed even happier than when Xia Qianmeng was there.

"what happened?"

Only Xia Qianmeng and Ding Jing lived in this house, so when she heard the knocking, she knew without a doubt that it was Ding Jing.

"If we go out to buy groceries, they'll be sold out if we go too late. By the way, food delivery is not available today because of Chinese New Year. If we can't find anything good to eat, we'll either have to eat leftovers or instant noodles for the two of us tonight."
