Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

[Line up to receive the cutest little rhinoceros horn]

Graduation equals unemployment.

Li Yinxun was lying on the sofa in her rented room, holding her phone and scheduling job interviews.

对面：[我们这边10:00-20:00，月休4天，可以接受吗？]

Li Yin calculated her salary and commute time, and replied:

[Only four days?]

[Then I won't consider it.]

You should quit too.

[Let's go out and look for jobs together]

After replying, Li Yinxun moved on to the next question:

[How much is your salary?]

The other party: [Forget it, people who ask this usually don't even pass the interview.]

I hope you find a job soon.

Are the people in these departments crazy these days?

Li Yinxun reached for a cherry tomato on the table, put it in her mouth, and then replied:

[If you don't ask about salary, what should you ask? How much longer do your parents have to live?]

Okay, let's move on to the next one.

[Hello, I'm very interested in the job you posted. Could I send you my resume?]

After I sent that message, my phone suddenly popped up a notification that it needed to charge for 30 seconds.

Li Yinxun quickly jumped up from the sofa and ran into the room to charge her phone.

The other party replied as soon as I plugged it in to charge:

[Hello, this internship opportunity is highly competitive, and it requires payment. Are you willing to accept this?]

Holy crap, I'm paying to work here.

How could he even say that?

[It's not a good time to swear here, let's add each other on WeChat.]

Damn, finding a job is so hard these days.

Li Yinxun temporarily gave up, exited the job search app, found a shrimp-themed animation, and then picked up her tablet to play PUBG.

No matter what game she plays, Li Yinxun is the type who can pick it up but isn't an expert.

So, after playing for almost 7 years, she is still a two-finger player.

The newly released tomb raiding mode is her favorite game.

This is because this method allows you to enjoy the unboxing process alone.

The background noise includes a conversation between Xia Ren and Li Shimin, while Li Yinxun is intently fighting the forbidden woman.

Unbeknownst to them, a chubby little hand was reaching out from the broken bowl next to the fruit basket, probing left and right.

With a tug, the little hand pulled and carried the entire fruit basket away.

Summer of the sixth year of Zhenguan.

Taiji Palace, Princess Courtyard, Fengyang Pavilion.

Princess Jinyang was also puzzled when she saw what she was holding.

Her chubby little face looked a bit bewildered.

The little princess's big, watery eyes lit up when she saw the grapes.

Even as a princess, she rarely got to eat grapes.

The little princess picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth. With a soft "pop," the sweet juice filled her mouth. She happily squinted her eyes, like a lazy kitten.

When she opened her eyes again, the little princess's gaze fell on other fruits she had never seen before.

Although she didn't know what was inside, as a seasoned foodie, she knew it was all delicious.

Grab a bright red cherry tomato and take a bite; the refreshing flesh transforms into a sweet and sour syrup that explodes on your tongue.

The little princess's eyes instantly crinkled into smiles, her face beaming with the joy of discovering a new continent.

Wow~ It's sweet and sour, so delicious~

This kind of taste is most pleasing to girls.

In the Tang Dynasty, sweets were rare and precious, and this fruit, with its rich layers and perfect balance of sweet and sour, was truly a rare treasure.

Still wanting more, the little princess popped another one into her mouth, her face beaming with delight and enjoyment.

I couldn't stop eating it, one bite after another.

There weren't many fruits, and the little girl ate them all quickly.

The little princess frowned as she looked at the empty basket.

Why did it all disappear so quickly? Mother and older sister didn't get any.

Just then, Qinglan's shout came.

"Your Highness, where are you? I can't find you anywhere. Please come out quickly, and I'll admit defeat."

Hide-and-seek is the little princess's favorite pastime, especially seeing Qinglan and the others' helpless expressions when they can't find her, which always makes her laugh uncontrollably.

His overjoyed expression was so captivating that no one could resist him.

Although the little princess was still young, she knew she couldn't leave her father's sight, otherwise, if her father and sister blamed her, Qinglan and the others would suffer.

The little princess quickly hid the broken bowl and fruit basket, pushed open the cabinet door to peek out her little head, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I'm hiding here. You're so silly, you can't find me even like this."

After the game ended, Li Yinxun put down her phone, stretched, and got out of bed.

After relieving herself, she shook the water droplets off her hands and glanced around casually.

He took two steps, then turned back in confusion.

There was nothing beside the broken bowl on the table.

Huh? Where's the fruit basket?

I washed it and left it here. I only ate one cherry tomato, so how come the basket is gone?

"What the hell?" Li Yinxun frowned as she opened the refrigerator, but there was no sign of the fruit basket inside.

"I'll get castrated!"

Li Yin recalled the classic Hong Kong film "The Master of Ghost Hunting" that she had watched a few days ago. It tells the story of a male protagonist who buys an antique courtyard, which contains a 500-year-old evil spirit.

Although this show is mostly comedic, some parts are quite frightening.

A chill ran down my spine.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the broken bowl.

I bought this thing last month during my graduation trip.

At the Daming Palace National Heritage Park, she saw an old woman selling antiques with a hunched back. She felt sorry for her and bought the antiques for 100 yuan.

I intended to throw it away when I got back to the hotel, but I was so tired that day that I just stuffed it in and forgot to deal with it, and ended up bringing it home by mistake.

Later, when I had nothing to do, I washed it clean and discovered that although the bowl was broken, its body was as thin as a cicada's wing and its patterns were intricate and exquisite.

Seeing that it was a good item, she couldn't bear to throw it away and kept it.

He turned around and cautiously scanned his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

Even so, the once empty and bright living room now seemed to exude an indescribable eeriness and gloom in her eyes.

The more I think about it, the more scared I get.

Li Yinxun dared not stay in the living room any longer. She stomped her foot hard, as if to bolster her courage, and rushed back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. The action was swift and decisive.

Without even turning off the lights, he buried himself in the covers, pulling them over his head and wrapping himself up tightly.

With trembling hands, he reached into the talisman hidden in the phone case and clutched it tightly in his palm before finally drifting off to sleep, still shivering.

……

When I woke up, the sun was high in the sky; it was already eight o'clock the next morning.

Li Yinxun was naturally carefree, and the fear she felt last night had long been forgotten. She yawned and lazily got up to wash up.

After breakfast, she changed into a smart outfit and went out.

Although the HR people I met yesterday were incompetent, I did manage to schedule a few reliable interviews.

Life must go on.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment she left, a delicately beautiful little child dressed in ancient costume appeared out of nowhere in the living room.
