Lian Jun was wearing a green robe with white stripes today. He sat lazily on the light-colored tatami, leaning against a beige pillow. He didn't look like a gangster boss, but rather a romantic young master of an ancient noble family.
After Shi Jin sat down, he personally poured a glass of wine for Shi Jin and asked, "Are you happy?"
Shi Jin's smile froze for a second. Looking at the progress bar above Lian Jun's head showing 600, he was confused and shouted in his mind, "What's going on? Didn't your baby's progress bar drop back to 500 five days ago? Why is it rising by 100 now!"
Xiao Si was also confused and said stupidly, "I, I don't know."
Not getting a response, Lian Jun looked at Shi Jin's eyes that had lost their focus and asked calmly, "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at you..." Shi Jin came back to his senses just as he started to speak. His heart tightened. His hand leaned over faster than his brain and pressed Lian Jun's hand that was still holding the narrow-necked wine bottle. He smiled dryly, "...You don't look very well. Look, I'm not an adult, you're not in good health, and we're not in a good condition to drink now, so forget about this wine..."
Lian Jun's eyes fell on his hand. Shi Jin
instinctively followed and looked over.
He saw a fleshy white hand on the exquisite narrow-necked porcelain bottle, holding the pale and slender hand below shamelessly, tightly, looking particularly shameless.
Xiao Si cried and laughed: "I should be happy to see you two getting along well, but Jinjin, why did your progress bar go up again! It's directly 950, I'm so scared, sob, sob..." Shi Jin
took his hand back and was about to cry, explaining: "Well, I didn't mean to touch your hand..."
"I know." Lian Jun took back his hand and pressed the call button on the table, saying softly, "Just like you didn't mean to touch my leg a few days ago." Shi
Jin: "..." I wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Why are you such a treasure.
As soon as the ring sounded, the sliding door was knocked. One of the men who appeared in the hall five days ago appeared at the door, with a respectful expression, and called: "Jun Shao."
"Gua San, go and get Mr. Shi's things." Lian Jun ordered.
Gua San responded in a low voice and closed the door gently.
The room was quiet again. Shi Jin didn't dare to look around or talk nonsense this time. He buried his head in the statue.
Lian Jun didn't look at him either. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food. His light-colored lips were stained with a little bright color. He asked: "Why don't you eat? Don't you like the food?" He asked
knowingly. Shi Jin
still kept his mouth tightly shut. He picked up the chopsticks obediently and reached for the plate of pickled cucumber closest to him. He made up his mind to keep a distance from Lian Jun, the cannibal beauty
. "I heard that the young master of the Shi family likes all kinds of food, but he hates cucumber... That's right, cucumber is a tasteless thing. For people who like strong tastes, it is indeed not very pleasing." Lian Jun spoke slowly and picked up a peanut.
Shi Jin's hand froze, and his chopsticks poked the three-color fried shrimp next to the pickled cucumber. He argued with Xiao Si in his mind: "Your baby is setting a feast for me, can't you do something about it?"
Xiao Si groaned, unwilling to face the reality: "Nonsense, my baby has a pure heart, he would, would not..."
"He wouldn't deliberately put a plate of pickled cucumber in front of me to test me?" Shi Jin gritted his teeth, his tone sinister, "And you deliberately distorted the fact that I touched his leg?"
Xiao Si whispered: "But you did touch it... That thing, is it okay to touch?" Shi
Jin felt that he was going to be pissed to death.
"Okay, okay..." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Si softened and soothed him, "Emotions need to be cultivated slowly, and trust cannot be established overnight. I'll try to let baby not be so defensive against you, you wait." Shi
Jin felt better then, picked up the shrimp that had been poking at him for a long time and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lian Jun saw everything he said and did, and asked, "What were you doing just now? Were you silently reciting a sutra for the salvation of souls before eating the shrimps?" Shi Jin
paused his chewing and quickly swallowed the shrimps. He said in a deep and meaningful tone, "My dad said that we should be grateful. Whether it's food, the sunshine we bathe in every day, or the smiles from passers-by, all good things are worth being grateful for. Especially towards those who help us, we must have kindness in our hearts!"
Lian Jun put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass, "I didn't expect that Mr. Shi Xingrui, who is famous for his ruthlessness and inhumanity, has such a... kind philosophy in educating his children. It's really surprising."
"He's playing dumb! He wants to deny my life-saving grace before. That's too bad!" Shi Jin angrily condemned in his heart.
Xiao Si quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, the buffs are added, baby won't bully you anymore! Jinjin, you are the best, Jinmu, Jinjin is the best-looking minor in the world!"
Shi Jin: "..." This flattery made him suddenly want to vomit the shrimp he just ate.
While they were arguing, the sliding door was knocked again, and a strange man appeared at the door with a bag in his hand. He had short hair, three-dimensional features, deep eye sockets, a hint of lingering hostility between his eyebrows, and his pupils were inorganic green, indicating his mixed-race identity.
"Mr. Jun." The man greeted respectfully.
Lian Jun turned his eyes slightly and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Gua San?"
"Gua San was called away by Gua Yi." The man answered simply.
Lian Jun nodded to show that he understood, and ordered: "Put down the things and go out."
"Yes." The man walked into the house, put the bag on the table, and quietly left the house without looking at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin slowly frowned.
"Did you notice?" He asked solemnly in his heart.
Xiao Si said hesitantly: "When the man came into the house just now, the baby's progress bar seemed to rise a little. When he left, the baby's progress bar went back again."
"So it's not my eyes." Shi Jin put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but look back at the closed sliding door, his brows wrinkled more and more, "This man wants to kill Lian Jun, he is a threat, maybe the 100 progress bars that Lian Jun has increased in the past few days are because of him."
"But he looks like Bao Bao's subordinate..." Xiao Si's tone also became solemn.
Lian Jun looked at Shi Jin who kept turning his head to look at the door and asked, "Mr. Shi, do you care about Gua Si?" Shi
Jin turned his head to look at Lian Jun and the progress bar above his head. His expression was no longer relaxed, but a little tense. He asked, "The man just now was called Gua Si?" Gua Er, Gua Si, and Gua San that he heard before, these names have the same format but different order. Since he can get close to Lian Jun, it seems that he should be Lian Jun's very important right-hand man... Things are difficult.
Lian Jun shook his wine glass, and his dark eyes, which seemed to be unable to let in light, looked straight at Shi Jin, and his voice became softer: "Gua Si's appearance has always been pleasing, and I don't object to my subordinates having a love relationship."
Why did he say this so strangely?
Shi Jin didn't understand, so he simply ignored this sentence and answered Lian Jun's previous question, saying seriously: "I do care about Gua Si."
"Yeah." Lian Jun took a sip of wine, his eyelids drooped, making it difficult to see his emotions at the moment.
Xiao Si trembled: "Jin, Jin, why did your progress bar rise again, and become 960." Shi
Jin was stunned, and then looked at Lian Jun who seemed to be concentrating on tasting wine, and continued with gritted teeth: "Because I am afraid of him! On the day he was caught, he looked at me through the crack of the door, and there was no emotion in his green pupils, like a bloodthirsty beast. After seeing his full appearance today, I think my intuition is right. He is very dangerous, and his eyebrows are full of hostility. He doesn't look like a good person." He doesn't look like someone who will be loyal to his employer.
When Shi Jin was halfway through his words, Lian Jun raised his eyes again, and looked at Shi Jin's lips vaguely, and took another sip of wine. His expression was unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"It's down, down! Jinjin, your progress bar has gone down, 950!" Xiaosi cheered excitedly.
"But your baby's bar has gone up, 2 points, one point for each sip of wine." Shi Jin poured cold water on him. He was almost annoyed by the twists and turns of the progress bar, and didn't want to test each other with Lian Jun anymore. He stood up and sat next to Lian Jun, took the wine glass from his hand, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed it into his hand, and said unhappily: "Don't drink if you are not in good health, do you think you have a long life? Eat, don't talk to me anymore, I'm hungry, and I don't want to talk to you today." After that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating, still thinking about the suspected bad guy Gua Si.
He was far away from the five brothers of the Shi family. Although Lian Jun's intentions were unpredictable, it didn't seem like he really wanted to kill him, so his progress bar was almost full, but he was still safe. Lian Jun was different. His progress bar dropped and rose quickly. His death judgment seemed different from his. When the progress bar was full, he was really dead. There was a bad guy lurking beside him. His health was also poor, which was much more dangerous than his. Sure enough,
there was no easy progress bar in the world... Shi Jin picked up a piece of fish fillet and mourned for his naive self five days ago.
Lian Jun was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses after someone took away his wine glass from him for the first time. He looked at Shi Jin who was concentrating on eating beside him. Strangely, he was not angry because of his impoliteness, nor was he nervous because of his close distance. Instead, he felt his appetite inexplicably opened up when he saw Shi Jin eating so happily. He moved his chopsticks and reached for the fish fillet that Shi Jin had just picked up.
The meal started very excitingly, but ended indifferently.
After eating and drinking enough, Shi Jin was sent to a warm and comfortable guest room by Gua San, who had an ordinary face. Holding his lost luggage in his arms, he was confused: "How come my progress bar has dropped back to 880 after just one meal?" Does silence make people live longer?
Xiao Si proudly puffed out his chest: "Because the buff I added to you worked." Shi
Jin then remembered that he was also a man with a golden finger. His eyes lit up and asked: "So what buff did you add to me, trust bonus or friendliness bonus?"
"No." Xiao Si shook his head and explained: "Trust and friendliness are other people's perceptions of you. I can't add them. I can only add buffs to you that are specific to yourself." Shi
Jin puzzled: "Then what buff did you add to me?"
Xiao Si suddenly hesitated.
Shi Jin had a bad feeling and said in a sinister tone: "Confess and be lenient, resist self-harm."
This threat was more effective than anything else. Xiao Si compromised and hummed: "Weren't you just having dinner? I thought that if you were happy eating, the atmosphere would be harmonious, so I gave you a delicious buff..." Shi Jin
didn't understand: "What do you mean by delicious buff? Make me eat more?" But he didn't eat much for dinner.
"No." Xiao Si replied, his voice getting lower and lower, "It's just, it's just to make you look especially delicious... Look, baby just ate an extra bowl of rice..."
Shi Jin: "..."
