Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

"Sister, eat this."

Shi Xingchen held a peeled grape to Lin Zhihao's lips, and Lin Zhihao swallowed it in one gulp, "Mmm~ sweet."

"Yeah, hehe."

Shi Xingchen was overjoyed. Although this bunch of grapes cost him almost half a month's salary, as long as his sister liked it, that was all that mattered.

"Where did you buy it?" Lin Zhihao asked casually.

"Um, well, online shopping, yes, online shopping."

"oh oh."

Seeing that Lin Zhihao didn't pursue the matter, Shi Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. If his sister knew that he had spent so much money on grapes, she would definitely scold him. Luckily, he was clever and thought of buying them online.

Because of their special status, the group did not choose to eat out, but instead chose to have their gathering at Lin Zhihao's house, where they hired a chef to cook in order to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

Moreover, the house is very large, with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment options, enough for a group of people to have a great time.

"Oh~ my baby~"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Oh~ my honey~"

Yesterday, because there were adults around, the three of us were on our toes. Although we had a lot of fun, it wasn't as relaxing as when we were with Shi Xingchen and his group.

He Manman, holding a microphone, stood on the sofa, sporting a big beard, and belted out "My Baby" with great enthusiasm. Shen Jubei watched their unrestrained and carefree manner and laughed until her stomach hurt.

"That's outrageous! Aren't you a female celebrity? Hahaha." Shen Jubei laughed nonstop.

He Manman stroked her beard. "Oh, baby, today, I'll only be your bearded brother, not a female celebrity."

Shen Jubei's chin was lifted by He Manman, and she obediently cupped her face in her hands, "Brother Beard is so handsome~"

"Haha, thank goodness, thank goodness, hahahaha."

A group of people were having a blast in the room, and even the driver, Xiao Chen, was drinking glass after glass of water, getting happier and happier with each drink. This was the easiest job he had ever had.

"The New Year is just around the corner, wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

At the dinner table, glasses clinked together to celebrate the gathering.

On the day before New Year's Day, everyone has a holiday and can chat all night long.

"Bearded Brother" He Manman sat next to Lin Zhihao, while the others played a little game on the living room carpet. "Sister Lin, when are we going to that temple?"

"Let's wait until after the New Year."

Now that the items have been delivered to them, the sooner we resolve this issue, the better.

"Before we go, let's go to the vintage store together again and see if we can find out anything else."

"Hmm, I think that old man is quite kind; maybe he can offer us some help."

"I went to the vintage store on the first day of the Lunar New Year under the guise of paying New Year's visits, and then went to the temple on the eighth day. At that time, many people had just started work, so there shouldn't be many people."

"The first day of the Lunar New Year? Which shop will still be open?"

"Tsk." Lin Zhihao glanced at He Manman with disdain. She was still thinking of venturing into the temple alone. "It's open all year round. There's a notice on the door. I've been there twice. Didn't you notice?"

"Ah, hehe." He Manman, who had been so focused on being scared both times, stuck out her tongue guiltily.

Lin Zhihao: "..."

"Don't try to look cute wearing that thing, it looks really awful."

"Oh~ really? Let's take a selfie!" He Manman took out her phone, brought her face close to Lin Zhihao, and snapped a bunch of photos randomly.

"I'm speechless!" Lin Zhihao felt suffocated by He Manman's embrace, but she couldn't break free.

After He Manman finished filming, she was finally able to catch her breath. "Oh my, I almost suffocated."

"Sister Lin~" He Manman turned to look at Lin Zhihao pitifully.

"What are you trying to do now!" Lin Zhihao hugged herself tighter, staring warily at He Manman.

"I'm trending on social media."

He Manman handed her phone to Lin Zhihao, and the words "Celebrities with the surname He are unfilial" appeared on the screen in large, bold characters.

After reading the full text of the accusation, Lin Zhihao, who had been amused and annoyed many times, was amused and annoyed again.

Lin Zhihao's actions towards Xu Junwei were exaggerated by Xu Cen into accusations against He Manman. In the video, Xu Cen's eyes were swollen like fried eggs from crying.

He Manman also burst into tears.

"What are you doing? She's not your real mother." Lin Zhihao frantically pulled out tissues to wipe He Manman's tears.

"I'm fine, it's just that for some reason, I peed in this eye on my own." He Manman's voice was calm.

"what?"

"I guess it's He Manman?" He Manman said uncertainly.

"Aren't you He Manman? No, you mean her?"

He Manman nodded.

Xiao Yuan, who had initially noticed He Manman's tears, felt as the three words "He Manman" kept swirling around her head as she listened to their conversation. What were they talking about? What He Manman, He Manman, it all made no sense.

"What does that mean?" Xiaoyuan asked.

Lin Zhihao casually handed her a game controller, saying, "Don't worry about it, go play."

"Oh~"

Xiao Yuan, who was about to comfort the tearful He Manman, was easily fooled away by Lin Zhihao.

The matter was of great importance, so Lin Zhihao and He Manman found a room and locked the door.

"Tell me quickly, tell me what happened."

"I don't know either. I was just about to take a selfie for you when that trending topic popped up and I saw it. Even though it was criticizing me, I didn't feel anything. Really, I don't know why, but the tears just wouldn't stop."

Because of her tears, although He Manman spoke in a very calm voice, her voice was still a little choked up.

"Oh my god, so this is the original He Manman's emotions, she's still in her body?" Although Lin Zhihao had accepted the fact that she had transmigrated, her good friend might have been possessed by someone else, or rather, it seemed like they had possessed someone else's body, but this matter... um?

Who knows, one day the Manman I see might not be her Manman, and my beloved turtle might no longer be my beloved turtle.

Damn, she can't accept this.

Although nothing had happened yet, Lin Zhihao suddenly felt a little sad and wanted to cry.

"Waaaaah, what am I going to do? Waaaaah!" Lin Zhihao burst into tears.

He Manman, who had been being taken care of, suddenly started comforting Si Lin Zhihao, "What's wrong? Waaah, what does that mean, Sister Lin? Waaah~"

"What if you suddenly disappear in the future? Waaaaah, who will I talk to then? Waaah~"

"It's okay, Sister Lin, I'm still here."

"We can't hire a master or perform a shamanic ritual to prevent the original He Manman from coming out, because this is her home, sob sob sob."

"It's okay, it's okay, it might not be like that, I was just guessing." He Manman hurriedly wiped away Lin Zhihao's tears. Oh dear, this pack of tissues wouldn't be enough for the two of them to cry.

"I will always be with you, Sister Lin."

"But, but what if the original Lin Zhihao comes back and you're still here? Waaah, what will you do? Who will stay with you? Waaah, what will you do? Waaah."

Just thinking about He Manman pitifully staring at Shen Zhihao's body, and how she could no longer be Lin Zhihao, her Manman was all alone here, no one knew her, no one understood her, sob sob, so pitiful.

"Waaah~" He Manman, who was originally comforting Lin Zhihao, also started to shed tears after hearing Lin Zhihao's words. That's right, she had forgotten that if either of them suddenly left, the other would be left without any family in this place. Although He's parents were very good to them, the meaning was different.

They are so pitiful, boohoo.

The two of them inexplicably started hugging and crying.

The crowd outside pressed against the door, listening to the two crying. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

What happened to them?

"I don't know, she suddenly started crying loudly."

"You were hiding mysteriously in your room just now, all to have a good cry?"

"do not know."

"Hey, I just saw Manman trending on social media. Is it because of this? And then Shen Zhihao felt sorry for Manman, so the two of them hugged and cried?"

"No way, that's outrageous," the driver, Xiao Chen, said drunkenly.

"Hey, you don't understand, we girls are just so easily empathetic."

"But are they alright, crying like this?"

"It's okay. Sometimes, it's good to have a good cry. Manman must be very sad because of her mother's situation. It's good for her to have a good cry."

Shen Jubei left the doorway first, sat on the sofa, and told the others to continue playing games, "Don't listen to them, they must have their own things to do, let's give them some space."

"Oh."

"Row."

The group left the room one after another, with the tipsy Xiao Chen trailing behind. Hearing the increasingly loud crying coming from inside, he wondered, "Is my empathy really that strong?"

Xiao Chen shook his still-dazed head and decided to go sympathize with his drinking buddy instead, hehe.
