SIAS Chapter 298.1

The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival (Zhongyuan Festival).

At Li Mengxue’s house, the organization’s routine birthday celebration was underway.

Yun Guyuan accepted his birthday card, which featured a large red flower on his chest that seemed completely out of character for him, and he was also holding a blue enamel basin.

When Yi Qingqing was the one being celebrated, she felt extremely awkward and wished that she could disappear into a crack in the ground. But when it was her turn to celebrate for others, she was very lively.

Especially when celebrating such a childish birthday for the usually serious Yun Guyuan.

“Comrade Yun Guyuan, you haven’t expressed your gratitude to the organization yet!” Yi Qingqing reminded him.

“Thank you, Organization.” Yun Guyuan said helplessly.

“Hahaha!”

A series of laughs came from over the wall of the small courtyard, attracting the attention of passersby in the alley outside.

“The new neighbors in this courtyard are so lively!”

After celebrating Yun Guyuan’s birthday together, Yi Qingqing, amidst the teasing glances of her friends, left with Yun Guyuan.

They had other important business to attend to today!

“Ah Yuan, my welfare housing is at No. 45 Luogu Lane, not far from here. Where is your house? Let’s see which one is closer and go there first.”

After leaving Li Mengxue’s place, Yi Qingqing pulled Yun Guyuan along, asking as they walked.

Upon hearing her address, Yun Guyuan couldn’t help but stop to confirm: “No. 45 Luogu Lane?”

“Yes.” Yi Qingqing said.

She took out her property ownership certificate and pointed it out to him.

“Look, No. 45 Luogu Lane!”

Although she hadn’t been there yet, she had long ago scoured the map of Beijing and gotten a general idea of ​​what her house was like.

The system was generous; the reward was a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), even more impressive than the one in her personal space.

Over in Luogu Lane, there were several three-courtyard houses with the same design.

“Mine is number 44, right next to you.” Yun Guyuan said.

He never expected that the welfare housing allocated to him by the underworld would be right next to Qingqing’s house, but there couldn’t be anything better!

Maybe it was because he happened to submit his application at that time, wanting to reveal his identity to his partner, that he was assigned this position.

Yi Qingqing’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this: “Number 44? What a coincidence?”

She always felt that something was off.

When she looked at her house on the map, she was proud of her house number, thinking it was much better than the number 44 next door. Little did she know that number 44 belonged to Ah Yuan!

The two families even shared an eastern wall!

“Perhaps it’s not a coincidence.” Yun Guyuan rubbed his nose, feeling that he was being given special attention by his superiors.

Yi Qingqing was completely bewildered: “What do you mean by ‘not a coincidence’?”

Her house was a reward from the college entrance exam given by the Sign-in System.

How could it not be a coincidence?

Could it be that Ah Yuan also had a Sign-in System?

“This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find the house first. My application has been approved. We’ll talk more when we get home.”

Yun Guyuan was still a little uneasy, worried that he might scare her.

If he hadn’t discovered that she worshipped a large number of ghosts and spirits every year during the Ghost Festival and that she had some strange acts, he probably wouldn’t have dared to reveal his secret.

He knew from childhood that even your closest loved ones won’t completely accept your unusual traits.

Sometimes, revealing secrets only pushes those around you further away, leaving you more alone.

This time, he only planned to tell her part of the story first; if Qingqing was scared, he would leave the rest out.
