"Don't you think so, Zero?"
As she laughed, Candy subconsciously called out for Zero.
"You're right."
In the cozy room, only her voice could be heard; no one could be seen.
Candy lightly patted her head and said with a laugh, "Look at me. I only just remembered that I was the only one who ran upstairs."
"Zero, why don't you sneak up here too?"
"Better not. If you're not here, I can use doing homework as an excuse. What excuse would I use? Besides, there are so many people here. I need to keep an eye on things."
"All right, then."
It wasn't until the afternoon that the guests who had come to pay their New Year's visits gradually left. They weren't the sort of relatives who would overstay their welcome; the visitors still understood proper etiquette and left in the morning instead of dragging things out until nightfall.
They had come to pay their New Year's visits to leave a good impression and perhaps receive some help when the opportunity arose—not to leave a bad impression and end up losing both face and favor.

"Bro, no one is coming tomorrow, right?"
"No. Everyone who was supposed to come basically came today. Your brother is exceptionally clever—I posted on Moments yesterday, saying that we'd be going to your sister-in-law's place tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuanyu's hand clearly paused, and the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably.
Hearing this, Candy asked in surprise, "Are we really going to Sister-in-law's place tomorrow?"
"Of course. Tomorrow morning, we'll first visit a few of your aunts to pay our respects.
