【1v1, Doted On, Fiery! Awesome! Sweet!】
Second Master Jin indulges in worldly pleasures, his life motto being simply to have fun. When a certain cat lunges at him, he lightly dodges, "...
Cat asked in surprise, "Ah Jin, are you going to give me a car?"
Mu Jin nodded.
The cat asked again, "Why?"
Mu Jin said, "I promised you back in Y country, this is my way of making it up to you."
Cat thought about it carefully. In Y country? After a while, she finally remembered that Ah Jin asked her to take Ye Mingshi away, saying that it was as if he owed her.
Although she didn't listen at the time, his intention was to repay the favor done to the people on the ship.
Her initial joy vanished instantly, and she withdrew her gaze listlessly. "I don't want it. You don't owe me anything, and don't ever say these things to me again."
Mu Jin didn't insist. He then tossed her a piece of clothing and handed her a helmet, saying, "Come with me."
Cat looked up and saw that Mu Jin had put on a helmet. She immediately realized, "Jin, are you taking Cat out to play?"
It seems Mu Jin has used up all her talking points for today.
However, the cat quickly put on its coat, got on the motorcycle, and carried Mu Jin inside.
Mu Jin looked down and patted the hands on her waist speechlessly. "Loosen up."
"Oh..." The cat restrained itself slightly.
She was overjoyed. This time, Mu Jin had taken the initiative to show her around. He had only taken two coats with him when he went out, and this extra one was specially prepared for her!
While in the city, they kept their speed relatively low, but once they reached the outer ring road, Mu Jin suddenly accelerated, and the motorcycle seemed to take off.
An hour later, they entered a village. The village seemed to be deserted, a rather ordinary place.
The final destination was a factory.
As Mu Jin parked the motorcycle in the garage, Maomao quickly surveyed the area. It seemed to have been a textile factory before, but it should have been shut down long ago. Although it looked dilapidated, it was... still lively.
You wouldn't notice this unless you looked closely.
The people who come here seem to know the rules quite well. Just like that garage we just saw, it was hidden so you couldn't see what kind of luxury cars were parked inside.
At this moment, Mu Jin walked over and said, "Come with me. Don't talk to strangers when we go inside."
The cat took Mu Jin's arm, but the latter struggled to break free.
"Hehe, with you by my side, I don't have time to pay attention to anyone else," the cat said with a smile.
Mu Jin remained expressionless.
The massive iron gate opened, and the lively atmosphere inside almost instantly enveloped them. This one gate separated two worlds.
The huge factory is divided into several areas at a glance, each displaying a variety of rare items. The types are numerous and the range is vast. Here are diamonds, opposite are calligraphy and paintings, and next to them are root carvings of various sizes and shades of color.
Even rarer items include swords and knives!
Moreover, these are not items that can be found on the market; they are all antiques, varying in age.
There are quite a few people here...
"Oh, isn't this Second Master? What brings you here today?"
"Greetings, Second Master."
"Second Master."
As soon as they entered, many people stopped to greet Mu Jin with great respect.
But Mu Jin kept her eyes straight ahead and didn't slow her pace at all, walking straight ahead without paying attention to anyone.
Those people seemed to take it all in stride; after Mu Jin left, they went about their business as usual.
Reaching the innermost part, going up the iron stairs, Maomao immediately spotted the three people huddled together playing cards: Tan Zheng, Ye Mingshi, and Gu Zeyi.
Ye Mingshi, her face covered in white strips, lazily looked up at Mu Jin and said, "Jin Er, you're here."
He had just looked down when he suddenly looked up again, then dropped the cards in his hand and jumped up, "Kitty! Did you come to see me?"
The cat looked at Ye Mingshi strangely, "Didn't you see that I came with A-Jin?"
Why would they come looking for him?
Ye Mingshi removed the white stripe from his face and said resentfully, "How long has it been since we last saw each other? Don't you miss me at all? I think about you every day, I check in on your super topic every day, and I even watched your live stream where you helped Ai Fenfen sing last night."
The cat laughed, "You're such a good fan of mine, so I'll give you my autograph."
"OK!"
Ye Mingshi looked around but couldn't find anything to sign. Suddenly, she tugged at her clothes and said, "Sign on my clothes, here on the chest, and it would be best if you could draw a little heart on it too."
He's wearing a white T-shirt today, so if he were to sign it, it would really stand out!
Cat was holding a pen, gesturing as if she wanted to sign, but Mu Jin snatched the pen from her hand and threw it aside, saying, "Don't use your real name here."
The cat seemed a little stunned.
Ye Mingshi said with great heartache, "My idol's autograph is ruined just like that..." Then he turned to Maomao and explained, "It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future... For safety reasons, people don't use their real names when they come here, so today is not a good day for autographs."
When the cat looked at Ye Ming, it said, "But everyone knows Ah Jin."
Ye Mingshi said, "We know each other, but in the circle of Beijing, who doesn't know Jin Er? His face is just that. However, no one calls him by his real name. In fact, some people only know him as the Second Master, but don't know which family's Second Master he is."
"Oh." The cat nodded. "So what exactly is this place for?"
Ye Mingshi chuckled, "Guess?"
The cat walked forward; from this vantage point, everything inside the factory was clearly visible.
It's like someone selling things, but she can understand some of the things they sell, and she can't understand others.
For example, there's a place below where the shelves are clean, with only some face molds on display, nothing else. The stall owner is lying on a recliner with a fan covering his face, seemingly sleeping.
Cat really can't guess what's going on here.
So in the end, the cat shook its head and said, "If you can't guess, just tell me."
Ye Mingshi also leaned on the railing, following the cat's gaze, and pointed to the stall, saying, "Are you curious about what that place sells?"
The cat nodded.
Ye Mingshi covered her mouth with her hand and said mysteriously, "That place sells human skin masks."
The cat raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that illegal?"
Ye Mingshi chuckled, "A few hundred years ago, the term 'human skin mask' did indeed mean what it sounds like, but it doesn't anymore. There are materials that can replace human skin now. However, this craft is unique, so it's still called that."
The cat still seemed confused, asking repeatedly, "What's the point of buying this? Will anyone buy it? Who would buy it?"
Ye Mingshi said, "If there are sellers, there will naturally be buyers. If such a mask is made well, it can even evade Interpol's infrared scans once it's stuck on your face. With such skill in deceiving the heavens and the seas, Maomao, what kind of person do you think would buy it?"
