It was a dark and windy night.
Yan Xi sneaked out of He Mansion wearing the human skin mask given by System 5555, and followed the instructions of System 5555 to a dilapidated temple in the western suburbs of Lin'an.
There are more than a dozen beggars living in the dilapidated temple.
Lou Jinchuan was also among them.
He was experiencing the pain of losing his parents and was in a daze the whole day.
The people in the beggar's den bullied the strange little beggar in every way. They snatched away the few cakes that He Wei's men had stuffed into him before they left, and made him sleep at the door of the dilapidated temple, exposed to the cold wind.
As soon as Yan Xi arrived at the dilapidated temple, he saw a ragged and disheveled child huddled at the door and shivering.
The other beggars were sleeping comfortably around the fire in the dilapidated temple.
The snoring sounded through the sky.
Yan Xi touched the buns and chicken legs in her lapel and tiptoed to Lou Jinchuan who couldn't sleep.
Suddenly, a pair of shoes made of expensive materials appeared in front of him. The hungry and cold Lou Jinchuan looked up and found that it was a handsome young man. He stepped back cautiously and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Yan Xi squatted down, looked at the dirty child in front of him, and smiled friendly, saying casually: "I am here to repay a favor."
Although Lou Jinchuan was young, he was not stupid or easy to fool. He lowered his eyes and said, "I have never saved anyone."
Yan Xi blinked and said smoothly: "Yes, you haven't saved anyone, but your father once saved me, so I came to repay the favor and want to take you away."
Hearing about his father who had just died, Lou Jinchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He raised his head, and looked straight at him with his dark eyes, "If you want to repay me, you should save my father."
"..." Yan Xi pointed at himself, "I'm only a teenager, still young, I can't be saved."
Lou Jinchuan glanced at his shoes and said nothing.
Yan Xi felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she took out the steamed buns and chicken legs from her arms and handed them to him, "You must be hungry, I brought this specially for you."
Lou Jinchuan looked at him and had no intention of answering.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and explained patiently: "You have to live well. Only when you are full can you live well."
Lou Jinchuan's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of what his mother said before leaving.
"Chuan'er, promise your mother that you must live well. The Lou family cannot be extinct, and your father cannot die unjustly."
He touched his empty stomach, hesitated for a moment, and took it with both hands, but he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he looked at Yan Xi.
"Uh...it's not poisonous, don't worry."
Lou Jinchuan remained motionless.
“…” This is a bit too cautious.
Yan Xi had no choice but to open the oil paper, tear off a piece of bun and chicken thigh and eat it in front of him, "Here, it's really not poisonous."
Lou Jinchuan looked at him, then started eating.
He seemed to be very hungry. He ate so fast that he almost choked.
Yan Xi brought a water bottle and handed it to him, "Drink some water and eat slowly."
I was afraid he wouldn't drink it, so I took a sip beforehand.
After Lou Jinchuan took the kettle and drank a few sips of water, he stared at him with his big eyes, "Are you really here to repay me?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I come to you in the middle of the night?" Yan Xi nodded.
Lou Jinchuan took a few bites of the bun and thought for a moment, too deep to be a six-year-old child. After a while, he said, "I need to observe you carefully before deciding whether to go with you."
Yan Xi: “…” Why do I feel like I’m the one who’s going to be taken away?
"Okay, but before that, I need to confirm one thing. Roll up your sleeves."
Lou Jinchuan tilted his head, a little wary, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't be nervous. I just heard that there is a beggar in this dilapidated temple who has an infectious disease and his hands are covered with red rashes. I need to see him, in case you get the disease and I fail to take you away and treat you in time." Yan Xi said nonsense with a serious face.
Lou Jinchuan didn’t know if it was true, but he didn’t have anything on him, so it was okay to take a look.
So he slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his hands as white as lotus roots.
Yan Xi opened his eyes wide in the moonlight and looked carefully, but there was nothing.
He was slightly startled, looked at the child in front of him and asked, "Do you like light or spicy food? Do you like onions?"
Lou Jinchuan was stunned by his question, "Why are you asking this?"
Yan Xi pursed her lips and said, "Well... because the initial symptoms of that infectious disease are that you suddenly like to eat bland food and really hate eating onions."
Lou Jinchuan said, "I like sweet and spicy food. Chopped green onions are fine, with or without."
Yan Xi stared at him closely and found that he had no signs of lying, so her fingers on her knees unconsciously clenched together.
"Oh, that's good. Take good care of yourself. I'll come again tomorrow." He slowly stood up, with no expression on his face, and turned and left.
Lou Jinchuan noticed his abnormality and looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking.
