The first day of the Lunar New Year passed quite pleasantly. The Lin family spent it at home eating and drinking, watching TV, or going for a stroll downstairs when they got restless.
The second day of the new year was traditionally for visiting one's maternal grandmother, but since Chen Fengjiao's side of the family didn't live nearby, the Lin family didn't go out. They spent another day at home.
Things started to get lively after the third day. The Lin family may not have had many relatives, but given Lin Shan's position, there was no shortage of visitors.
None of the visitors came empty-handed; they all arrived with smiles, carrying gifts. At first, Gu'er would come out and sit with them for a while, but she eventually stopped. She couldn't stand the way they sized her up.
When the sixth day arrived, Gu'er heard another knock at the door. She shut her bedroom door tightly. 'Whoever it is, whatever they want, it has nothing to do with me. I'll just pretend I don't exist.'
