The winter sun shines on the ground, bringing a feeling of warmth.

Jiang Li drew back the curtains, letting warm sunlight stream into the room. She looked out at the snowy scene and tried to take a deep breath, but then she heard a commotion outside.

Ye Jingmo came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast. He saw Jiang Li sticking her head out, with half of her body sticking out as well.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden sound from behind startled Jiang Li, and she swayed as she leaned against the windowsill.

It looks like it might fall out at any moment.

Ye Jingmo felt his heart skip a beat. He immediately grabbed Jiang Li's waist, picked her up, and stood her in front of him.

Jiang Li felt dizzy and then snuggled into Ye Jingmo's arms. She looked up at him shyly and winked.

"I heard some noise from the house next door, so I went to check and listen carefully to see what was going on."

In short, Jiang Li's gossip instincts were ignited; hearing the commotion next door, she wanted to know what had happened.

"If you want to know what's going on, why don't you just go to the window on the third floor and take a look? What can you hear from here?"

Ye Jingmo said helplessly.

Jiang Li slapped her forehead. "Oh right, what's the point of just listening to the sound from the first floor? We should see the live version."

Jiang Li, wearing slippers, ran upstairs happily, the slippers making a crisp slapping sound on the ground, completely ignoring Ye Jingmo who was standing there.

Ye Jingmo shook his head, wondering if Jiang Li's fever had affected her brain, as she seemed a bit mentally challenged lately.

About five minutes later, Jiang Li came downstairs.

"Brother Mo, guess what happened next door?"

Jiang Li said mysteriously to Ye Jingmo, "Let him guess."

"What are you doing? Moving?"

Ye Jingmo said it casually.

"How did you know?" Jiang Li was taken aback when she heard Ye Jingmo's answer. How did he guess that?

She was still thinking that she would reveal the answer only when Ye Jingmo couldn't guess it.

"I just guessed. There were no sounds of arguing or fighting outside. The noise seemed more like the sounds of things being moved."

Now that Ye Jingmo already knew what had happened, Jiang Li didn't keep him in suspense any longer.

A new family moved in next door, it seems to be a family of three, but I wonder what they're like?

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo sat at the dining table and began to eat and chat.

Today, Ye Jingmo cooked purple sweet potato porridge and served it with eggs.

The house next door had been vacant for a long time. The family living there was robbed and killed by bandits during the hottest part of the day.

That house was reclaimed by the base and has been listed on the exchange for a long time.

But no one has bought it yet.

I never expected that someone would actually move in today.

Ye Jingmo peeled the hard-boiled egg for Jiang Li.

"Our neighbors are a distance away from us, so it doesn't matter whether they're easy to get along with or not, and it won't change our daily lives."

"Of course I know that, I was just saying it offhand."

But good neighbors are so comfortable to live with! Like Qin Yue and Qin Yu, they can help each other out when needed.

Jiang Li took the boiled egg and swallowed it in one gulp, her mouth bulging. This reminded Ye Jingmo of the guinea pig on the third floor, which also ate in the same way.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo's expression and knew he was laughing at her. She angrily kicked him under the table.

When Jiang Li kicked at him, Ye Jingmo clamped her legs around Jiang Li's foot, preventing her from kicking him.

Just as the two were playfully fighting, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Jingmo stood up and looked towards the gate.

"Who came to our door so early?"

Jiang Li also looked puzzled. If Qin Yue and the others were coming, they would definitely have given us a heads-up beforehand.

It's even less likely that Zhou Tian would come. He's a very busy person and hasn't done any transactions recently, so he definitely wouldn't come knocking on your door.

"I don't know, I'll go check on you, you stay inside."

Ye Jingmo put on his coat, picked up his weapon, and walked towards the gate.

"I'll go as well."

Jiang Li picked up the remaining half bowl of porridge on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then followed Ye Jingmo out the door.

The two looked out through the hole they had made in the wall and were surprised to see a familiar face. It was none other than their old acquaintance, Liang Zi.

Ye Jingmo opened the door, and Liangzi smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head as he said embarrassedly:

"Captain, I didn't tell you in advance that I was bothering you. I hope I didn't disturb you."

"No, I'm more than happy you came to my door."

Let's go inside and talk; it's not appropriate to talk standing at the door."

Ye Jingmo invited Liang Zi into the house.

Liangzi quickly waved his hand.

"No need, Captain. I came here to tell you something. I'd like to invite you to my house for a housewarming dinner the day after tomorrow."

"Do you and Jiang Li have time to come over?"

"Housewarming dinner? Does that mean your family moved next door today?"

Upon hearing about the housewarming party, Jiang Li immediately thought of the new neighbors who had moved in today.

"Yes, this is our house that's moving in today."

Liangzi's wrinkled face broke into a wide smile. He was overjoyed to be able to live in a villa, which was an important step towards a new life for his family.

Moreover, he carefully selected this location.

With Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li living next door, Liangzi felt even more secure.
