Qin Can thought for a moment and then asked, "Master, are you free the day after tomorrow?"
Li Shu smoothed her hair and said, "The morning after tomorrow is fine. I have to go back to school in the afternoon."
Qin Can: [Okay, I'll go tell my dad!]
Li Shu: [Okay.]
When Qin Can thought of the amulet he had drawn, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with excitement and he could not hide his excitement. His fingers tapped quickly and edited a long paragraph of text.
"By the way, Master, I'm really happy. The amulet I drew actually worked. Even though it only scared off the ghost and it disappeared after one use, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I feel so motivated now that I can draw until dawn!"
Li Shu finished reading it carefully, her eyes softening a bit. [Very good, keep it up, but make sure to rest as well.]
Qin Can: [Yeah, I know!]
Li Shu was about to exit the chat interface with him when she suddenly remembered something and typed: [By the way, I'm going to that road tomorrow night to deal with that wicked driver. Do you want to come with me?]
Qin Can's eyes lit up. He hadn't worked outside with his master for a long time. [Go, go, go!]
Li Shu yawned, her expression becoming somewhat lazy. [Okay, wait for my notification.]
Qin Can: [Okay, Master.]

The next day.
Autumn in Beijing seems to be particularly short.
After Li Shu woke up, she clearly felt that the temperature had dropped a little compared to yesterday, and there was a slight chill in the air.
She lay on the bed and played with her cell phone for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, she rubbed her eyes, then threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and walked straight to the bathroom.
After she finished washing up, she took out clothes from the closet, changed them, and went downstairs directly with Xiao Meiqiu.
As soon as Li Shu came out of the elevator, she met Butler Ji passing by.
Butler Ji looked at the girl who came down so early today, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. In the past, Li Shu would sleep until noon.
"Good morning, Miss. Aren't you on holiday today?"
Li Shu hummed softly, "Good morning, I'm going out soon."
Steward Ji nodded and asked, "Are you coming back for dinner?"
"I won't be back for lunch." Li Shu said.
"Okay, Miss." Butler Ji responded.
After Li Shu greeted him, she walked towards the restaurant.
After finishing breakfast, Li Shu played with Xiao Meiqiu in the living room for a while. Around ten o'clock, she went out to the Lin family.
When they arrived at the gate of Lin Yan's community, Li Shu was about to take out her cell phone to send a message to Lin Yan to tell him that she had arrived, but she saw him standing in the guard room across the street through the car window.
Seeing this, Li Shu greeted the driver, opened the car door, got out quickly, and then crossed the road and walked towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan also immediately saw the girl getting off the car. His eyes lit up and he immediately ran over to her, shouting, "Sister!"
Li Shu hummed, her voice tinged with laughter, "When have you been waiting here?"
"I guessed you would arrive around this time, so I came down early. I only had to wait for a few minutes." Lin Yan said with a smile.
Li Shu nodded and walked into the community with him side by side.
"By the way, sister, I heard from my senior brother that you are going to catch ghosts with him tonight?" Lin Yan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the girl next to him.
"Yes." Li Shu glanced at him, as if she had guessed his thoughts, and said slowly: "What's wrong, do you want to go too?"
"Hehe, sister, you still understand me." Lin Yan scratched his hair, "Sister, can I go with you?"
Li Shu thought that since it was the weekend, she really needed to relax. "Okay, sure. We'll pick you up in the evening."
"Okay, sister!" Lin Yan's eyes brightened instantly when he heard that. He didn't expect her to agree so readily. He had originally prepared himself for rejection. "Then should I open my Yin-Yang eyes?"
Li Shu glanced at him sideways and said, "Anything is fine."
......
After coming out of the elevator, the two arrived at the door of their home.
Lin Yan opened the door and moved aside. "Sister, same as always, no need to change shoes."
Li Shu responded and walked in first.
The couple, who were already busy preparing food in the kitchen, came out immediately when they heard the noise outside.
Zhou Xia looked at the girl who came in, her eyes full of joy, "Xiao Shu, you're here!"
"Auntie." Li Shu nodded obediently, then looked at Lin Hao standing beside her and greeted him, "Uncle."
Lin Hao's face was filled with joy, no less than Zhou Xia's. He smiled and said, "You must be thirsty after such a long ride. Go sit on the sofa first. I'll make you some tea."
"Yes." Zhou Xia naturally took Li Shu's hand and led her to the sofa.
After the two sat down on the sofa together, Zhou Xia accidentally caught a glimpse of a small piece of gold chain exposed on Li Shu's neck.
Her eyes moved slightly, but she was not sure whether Li Shu was wearing the small gold locket she had given her. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Xiao Shu, did you open the gift last night and take a look?"
"I've already put it on." Li Shu said as she took out the small gold locket from her clothes.
Zhou Xia's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile upwards, "It's just as I thought, it looks really good on you."
Li Shu stuffed it back in and said softly, "I like it very much."
"Mom, you are so partial. You have never given me such an expensive thing in my life." Lin Yan walked over with the brewed tea.
Zhou Xia glanced at him and said, "Why are you, a boy, wearing gold and silver?"
Lin Yan bent down and placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of Li Shu, then walked over to the seat next to Li Shu and sat down. "Okay, you're right."
At this time, Lin Hao came over with a plate of cut fruit, "Come, Xiaoshu, eat some fruit."
Li Shu glanced at the fruit plate placed in front of her and said, "Okay, thank you, uncle."
"Don't be polite, it's like being at home." Lin Hao said with a smile.
Zhou Xia stood up and said, "Lin Yan, you stay here and chat with your sister. Your father and I will go to the kitchen to prepare lunch."
"Go, go." Lin Yan said.
Li Shu thought about the last time she prepared a table full of dishes. It was not only troublesome but also laborious. She then looked up at Zhou Xia and said, "Auntie, there's no need to prepare so many dishes."
"What's the big deal? It's not too much at all. Xiaoshu, just sit and wait for dinner." Zhou Xia's eyes were full of soft light. "By the way, if you have anything to do, just tell Lin Yan to do it."
After Zhou Xia finished speaking, she pulled Lin Hao towards the kitchen.
"Sister, just let them go." Lin Yan glanced at the backs of his parents as they left, then looked back at the girl sitting next to him. "They're so happy to have you at home that they went out early in the morning and bought a bunch of vegetables."
Li Shu's eyes were filled with warmth. She picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took two sips. "Hmm."
