Qin's balcony, late at night.

Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and look at each other to become two people.

Oh no, it's not two people, it should be a cat and a dog, or a fox and a dragon.

Perhaps to outsiders, the two little furballs squatting on the balcony seemed a little lonely, but to Su Lili among them, they were actually much better than when they were squatting at the door of the bedroom, at least not listening.

After a moment of silence with her, Tuantuan beside her licked her paws and let out a soft cry:

"Meow…"

What should I say? I also have a few small dried fish hidden there, and I still have Pixiu’s yogurt in the refrigerator. How about we drink some together?

"..."

Su Lili didn't say anything, and waved her tail to show her understanding:

"Meow... meow... meow..."

Forget it if you don’t want to drink. There is an old saying in the cat family, which is that cats get drunk on their own, and so do dogs.

"hold head high…?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Lili couldn't help but look sideways.

Aren't you a fox...

"Meow~"

Tuantuan waved his paws pretending to be relaxed, indicating that what about the fox? What about the cat? A certain stinky man is not enlightened. After endless years, he will be nothing more than a pink skeleton. This is all fate...

"..."

Su Lili was quite surprised at first. She didn't expect that this stupid flannel ball could actually talk to so many people.

However, when Su Lili thought about it for a moment, she realized that what she just said seemed to be lines from a TV show she watched recently. This stupid and stupid fox actually didn't know what he meant at all, so he pretended to meow.

After meowing for a few times, my attention began to be attracted by a small red dot on the balcony, and I couldn't help but stretch out my paws and scratch...

Eh? Wait a minute.

Little red dot?

What red dot?

Where did it come from?

Su Lili was stunned for a moment and looked at the tiny red light that appeared on the balcony floor at an unknown time. It seemed to be a little trick of the Earthlings called infrared.

The time spent watching TV with Chu Yu was the most cherished by Vampire Princess, so she also remembered deeply what she saw on TV during this period. The laser pointer that can project infrared rays that children like to play with on TV,

Su Lili remembered it very clearly.

Of course, I also remember clearly the stupid fox jumping up and down, scratching the TV screen, and being spanked for the first time.

So, with these experiences, Su Lili jumped onto the balcony wall with her light body, and looked around with sharp eyes, trying to see which child in the community was up late at night and causing trouble with a laser pointer.

However, after looking for a long time, I found nothing.

Su Lili turned around and saw that the stupid fox was still scratching at the mysterious little red light spot. Although there was nothing unusual when her claws passed over the light spot, it only took a blink of an eye for the little red light spot to appear.

Suddenly it turned into a small red strip.

It's like the small strip of red light coming out of the code scanner in the supermarket.

"?"

Surprised, Su Lili jumped back to Tuantuan, and then kicked the stupid fox away from the red light.

"Meow!"

The pained Tuantuan was furious at that moment, and he put on a fierce posture to defend himself against the enemy. Just as he bared his teeth, his small mouth was covered by a big fight brought by Su Lili's tail.

"idiot."

Su Lili kept talking:

"Don't play around, it may be dangerous."

"Meow?"

Tuantuan tilted his head in confusion, but Su Lili discovered that the long red light was actually a line of characters!

To be precise, it's a line of characters, or garbled characters or something, it looks like... a segment of code.

Su Lili didn't know what [segment code words] were, but she had seen the calculator at home. The black and white display on the calculator used 7-segment code words, with a total of no more than seven segments of lines.

Make up the ten Arabic numerals from 0 to 9.

Once, Su Lili saw that Luo Yao had done a problem like "Move a match to make an equation true" in a book called "Interesting Mathematics for Children", using the font of paragraph characters.

At this time, the row of red characters on the floor of the balcony, although similar to a segment code composed of "matchsticks", does not look like a common Arabic numeral, and the number of segments is more than 7.

To the naked eye, Su Lili looks like there are about 16 segments, and the rapid changes show garbled codes that appear after a broken calculator.

What is this?

Su Lili hadn't been so confused for a long time. She raised her head and searched in the deep night sky again. She had to say that although it was just a red light, it was definitely the most inexplicable thing she had ever seen.

Just like that, the red light on the floor changed and flickered for an unknown number of lines of characters, and then disappeared as quietly as it came.

"Meow…"

"..."

The cat and the dog approached again cautiously, leaving no trace on the balcony floor.

The matter has come to this, and there is nothing that can be done about it. It is not a big deal, but there are some inexplicable things. Su Lili can only not think about it too much.

But when she was looking around outside the balcony just now, she accidentally discovered that there were some snowflakes on the windows of several nearby houses, and there was also the head of an old man with a red hat and a white beard. After consulting with the group, she found out that the day after tomorrow was a person.

festival.

"Christmas Eve...Christmas..."

Su Lili continued to squat at the door of the balcony as she did at the beginning, slowly wagging her tail and looking at the sky:

"That old man...can help people realize their wishes?"

"Meow…"

Tuantuan waved his paws with disdain, indicating that feudal superstition is not advisable.

"That's right, wishes and so on...you have to fight for them to come true..."

Su Lili murmured like this, her eyes suddenly flashed, and Tuantuan didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt that she was still lonely for a certain stinky man, so her tail touched her again.

"Meow?"

However, this time, Su Lili gently patted her away with her little dog tail, declining her comfort.

"Good night."

After saying that, she turned around and went straight back to the nest.

Tuantuan didn't know what happened to her, but he only knew that the look in her eyes when he finally saw her seemed to be full of some kind of perseverance.

————————

The next day, Qin Ren didn't have to go to the company anyway. He told the two snakes yesterday until dawn, so naturally it was already noon when he woke up.

"Uncle Qin Ren ~ Brother Qin Ren ~ you are back!"

"Well, how's it going? Do you miss me?"

“Average~”

"..."

Just in time, when she got up, Tang Bobo from next door came to eat again. Qin Ren got used to it and stopped asking about her mother's situation. Although she was somewhat worried because of the feelings of neighbors and friends, she was not too concerned about such personal matters.

It may actually make people uncomfortable.

"Brother Qin Ren, I want to eat fish."

"Huh?"

Qin Ren was happy and rubbed the little thing's head:

“You’re here to have a meal and order some food?”

But it’s not impossible.

Although strictly speaking, he just finished eating two fish last night, one big and one small, tender and juicy, with soup and water...

But this fish was not that fish. Qin Ren took advantage of the two snakes to get up and wash themselves. He said hello and went to the vegetable market to buy fish. He planned to cook it himself at noon for a long time and make pickled fish.

"Qin Ren, Qin Ren, I am going too."

This kind of thing is impossible for Master Shangxian, but Qin Ren still asked her to stay at home:

"Bobo is here, why don't you stay with her?"

"Tsk, I'll accompany you once every three or five..."
