Chapter 1 — Full Moon In Milan

Before leaving work on Mid-Autumn Festival, my sister sent a house moving notice to the family chat group. I followed the address and changed five buses to get there. But before my eyes was a deserted mountainous area. The girl on the other end of the line proudly said: "Bingo! Successful prank! The last bus has left, let's see how you do!" I stood there dumbfounded, while my parents hugged their stomachs and laughed. "I believe it, I don't know who this stupid look resembles." "The whole family is having a reunion dinner, you should walk home yourself." After saying that, the two of them even pushed each other to see who I resembled more on the other end of the line. In desperation, I used the last battery bar to call my boyfriend. As soon as the phone connected, there was the familiar background sound. The boyfriend's shallow laughter rang out, carrying a mockery. "Tri Chi, your uncle and aunt just told you to go home on your own." "It's not the first time you've been pranked, don't be so ignorant." With that, the phone was accidentally hung up. If it were before, I would call back crying, begging them to come take me home. But this time, looking at the lights of tens of thousands of houses in the distance, I suddenly felt tired. My sister likes to play pranks on Mid-Autumn Festival, so the whole family plays with her. Last year, he put peach feathers in a glass of water, causing me to have an asthma attack. Last year, he changed his shampoo to hair removal cream, causing me to fail the interview. This year... my whole family knew I was afraid of the dark, yet they still cooperated with it to trick me into going to the suburbs. And they were sitting at the dinner table, betting on how many minutes it would take me to ask for forgiveness. I didn't cry or make a fuss. In the dark, I walked in the opposite direction of my house. I unilaterally declare an end to this prank. ... All sides were so dark that even if I raised my hand I couldn't see my five fingers. In the surveillance camera on the phone, the whole family is sitting around the dining table, placing four phones in the middle. They bet on how many minutes it would take me to call and ask for forgiveness. Ha Mieu Miao's younger sister said firmly: "One minute." During the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was ten years old, Ha Mieu Mieu poisoned the small dog I raised. I cried and screamed, admitted defeat, rushed into my parents' room, and begged them to take the dog to the hospital. Looking at me crying until my voice was hoarse, my parents didn't care at all. "Mieu Mieu is just playing pranks with me. If the dog dies, buy another one." The little dog lay in my arms, twitching until it stopped breathing. Just one minute. After that, no one mentioned anything about them promising to buy another one. When it was my parents' turn, the two of them said in unison: "Five minutes." During the only time I had a reunion meal with my family, Ha Mieu Mieu changed my Coke to insecticide. My stomach ached and I rolled on the ground for five minutes before opening my mouth to ask for forgiveness. That day, I had to wash my stomach in the hospital, and they went to the north of the city to watch the moon. Later, because I was afraid of Ha Mieu Miao's pranks, I never celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family again. Chau Chi Minh loves me, his job is unique, but every year he tries to take time off to be with me. But now. He was silent from beginning to end, suddenly seeming to remember something. Amidst the laughter, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat and walked towards the door. I unconsciously tightened my grip on the phone. Just as I was about to send the location to Chau Chi Minh, I saw his footsteps stopping in front of the door. Chau Chi Minh raised his head to look at the clock on the wall, confidently said: "I bet Tri Chi won't call tonight to ask for forgiveness." "Because... the broadcast station in that suburb is under the management of my company. Just now I told my assistant to send a maintenance notice. After twelve o'clock tonight, the area Tri Chi is in will no longer have a signal." My heart immediately sank.

down. Ha Mieu Mieu was both surprised and happy, running to hug Chau Chi Minh. "No wonder why you insisted on changing your address to the suburbs." "Zhi Minh, you are truly a legendary prank master!" Before, Chau Chi Minh had never let me near this area. He said this place is still unexplored, there are many people wandering around, and there have been incidents of wild dogs biting people. He was afraid I was in danger. But now, to please Ha Mieu Miao's prank, you are willing to leave me here overnight. The whole family cheered because the prank had an effective member, then hugged each other. The last ray of hope in my heart completely disappeared. Taking advantage of the last minute of signal left on my phone, I responded to the letter requesting a long-term transfer to Milan, departing in three days. Before that, I was hesitant because the distance was too far and I couldn't reunite with my family. But this reunion is not what I want. I don't need this whole family anymore. Exactly twelve o'clock, the phone turned into a brick with no signal. I picked up a tree branch, gritted my teeth and walked forward. After walking for a while, I suddenly wasn't so scared anymore. It turns out, when people have no one else to rely on. They will indeed become inexplicably brave. 2The next morning, at dawn, I dragged my pants, soaked and covered in mud, with me. I got on the earliest bus and borrowed a power bank from the driver. I didn't go home all night. After the phone reboots. The family chat group immediately showed up with more than a hundred messages. There are photos of moon gazing shared by Ha Mieu Mieu, there are Mid-Autumn lucky money envelopes sent by her parents, and there are also special dishes cooked by Chau Chi Minh. The only person who sent me a private message was the company. "There's no need to go to work in the next few days. This trip lasts ten years, you go home to be with your family, the day after tomorrow we leave on time."I stood in front of the house for a long time. Holding five Universal Studios tickets in hand. That was the Mid-Autumn Festival gift I worked overtime for a month to buy for the whole family. Initially I wanted the whole family to go. Now it's not necessary anymore. I kept my ticket, stuffing the remaining four through the door. But in the next second, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Ha Mieu Mieu pulled my hand into the house. Chau Chi Minh immediately poured a basin of cold water down from his head. My whole body was soaked like a rat, and I fell hard to the ground. Ha Mieu Mieu excitedly shouted: "I bet she will cry first!" Chau Chi Minh chuckled. "I bet she will make a fuss first." My parents looked at my disheveled appearance, laughing until they couldn't stand up straight. "Quickly see Tri Chi's reaction, whoever loses will have their foreheads flicked three times." The eyes of the four people finally returned to me. But I didn't cry or cause trouble, I just tried to endure the bleeding scratches and crawled up. I raised my hand and stopped in front of Ha Mieu Mieu's forehead. "Everyone has lost, each person's forehead was flicked three times." Ha Mieu Mieu instinctively closed her eyes and screamed loudly. Chau Chi Minh immediately pushed me away. "Ha Tri Chi, what are you doing?!" My parents were like protecting a baby wolf, hugging Ha Mieu Mieu in the middle. "Don't take it so seriously, okay? The family is just joking with each other, only you like small things to be made into big things." Actually, I had absolutely no intention of flicking Ha Mieu Mieu. I just want to know, if the injured person is Ha Mieu Miao. Will they still find it interesting? Now, I know the answer. Four Universal Studios tickets fell under his feet, and after being wet by water, they were trampled into pieces. Ha Mieu Mieu followed my eyes. He thought I was angry because of the tickets, so he was so embarrassed that he became angry. "It's just a few torn tickets, my parents gave it to me.

I've been gone for a long time, what are you acting like?" "You really don't know how to play!" My body stiffened, my hand still hovering in the air. I've always wanted to be like my sister, making my parents happy. So, last month when they casually said they wanted the whole family to go to Universal Studios, I took it to heart. Turns out, they had already left a long time ago. Turns out, they really didn't include me in their concept of "the whole family". My parents frowned and ordered them. me: "You scared Mieu Mieu, apologize to her!" Chau Chi Minh also walked out and said in a soft voice: "Tri Chi, the day after tomorrow is the engagement party, don't make tension with your family like that, it's not good for your reputation." On the surface, he looked like he was thinking about me, but every word he said was defending Ha Mieu Mieu. Looking at the four people standing opposite, I just felt ridiculous. This time when I came back, I was going to make it clear to Chau Chi Minh and cancel the engagement party Now, I want to use this engagement party to complete the prank that was designed specifically for the whole family. I tightened my shirt and humbly apologized to Ha Mieu Mieu. "Sorry, it was you who was wrong." He curled his lips. "Hmm, that's fine." Turning around, he secretly smiled at his parents and Chau Chi Minh. "The engagement party the day after tomorrow will definitely be the pinnacle masterpiece of my prank career." "Just let her wait." "3 Ever since Chau Chi Minh proactively offered to let Ha Mieu Mieu prepare the engagement party, I realized that something was unusual. But my parents assured me over and over again. "Tri Chi, getting engaged is like getting married, it only happens once in a lifetime." "How can you let Mieu Mieu make trouble on such an important occasion?" Chau Chi Minh also advised many times. "Mieu Mieu just wants to help me share the trivial matters of the engagement ceremony." kiss, let me become the most beautiful future bride." Only then did I agree. While the whole family went shopping with Ha Mieu Mieu. I rummaged in the drawer, took out a USB with the words "Tri Chi's happy memories" engraved on it. I plugged the USB into the computer. The moment I opened the video, a soft laugh immediately spread out. Hearing familiar voices, cold sweat began to break out from behind me. In the video, my parents and younger sister took turns coaxing me to finish the birthday cake. I was twelve years old, holding a black and white sticky mass in my mouth. I cautiously asked: "Mom, Dad, what is this cake made of?" I really can't eat anymore." Waiting for me to finish eating, ten-year-old Ha Mieu Mieu held back her laughter until her face turned red, then burst out in a loud laugh. "It's cow dung and maggots, you idiot, ha ha ha!" "My sister is so hungry that she can eat anything!" Looking at my funny look as I frantically grabbed my throat to vomit. My parents laughed so much that they couldn't hold the phone, it took an hour, the image also shook non-stop. Right after that, the next video appeared. I just woke up and discovered there was a snake in my blanket. I was so scared that I fainted on the spot. There was me locked in a broken elevator and I was so scared that I peed my pants. There was also the diary of my secret crush on the male god in school that was made public, causing me to be called a "scabby sister". My ugliest, most miserable, and most unsightly images were all made into a collection of pranks, and they were about to be broadcast My happiest engagement party, in front of all my relatives and friends. And my parents knew, and Chau Chi Minh also knew. My hands and feet felt cold, and I finally couldn't help it.
