"What... is there that Ah Jin can't handle?" When Maomao looked at Ye Ming, her calm eyes carried a hint of coercion.
Ye Mingshi scratched her hair, avoiding the cat's gaze. "Cat, don't ask me... and don't look at me. Unless I don't want to live anymore, I won't say anything."
Cat was a little surprised. Ye Mingshi rarely kept her mouth shut like that. She suddenly asked, "Did A-Jin tell you not to say it?"
Ye Mingshi, with the back of her head facing her, nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, if I reveal it, Jin Er will definitely kill me."
The cat stopped asking questions, looked at Mu Jin, suddenly stood up, and walked forward!
Jiu Yunchi grabbed her just in time, "Where are you going?"
The cat said, "I'm going to find Ah Jin."
Ye Mingshi quickly grabbed the cat, "What do you want with him now? Can't you see Jin Er is fighting with Song Sifan? If you go over there now, you might get trapped in the Hundred Flowers Formation too!"
The cat gave a soft hum, "A mere illusion array, and you think you can trap me?"
Ye Mingshi choked, and after two seconds, asked hesitantly, "Kitty, could it be... that you can break the Hundred Flowers Formation? Don't brag..."
The cat said, "Let me go, I'll try and see."
Ye Mingshi gripped even tighter, but Jiu Yunchi didn't let go either.
Gu Zeyi said calmly, "Cat Cat, no matter whether you can break the Hundred Flowers Formation or not, you can't go to Jin Er. Song Sifan knows Jin Er very well. He has attacked Jin Er's weaknesses. It's understandable that you want to help Jin Er, but Jin Er definitely doesn't want you to go."
Jin Er had always had opportunities to strike first, but he didn't make a move. He understood Song Sifan; facing Song Sifan was less like fighting Song Sifan and more like fighting himself. Just watch patiently.
The cat glanced back at Gu Zeyi, then slowly retreated and sat back down on the steps.
Meanwhile, Mu Jin, who was in the Hundred Flowers Formation, suddenly found herself in another place! It was the old residence of the Mu family.
However, the old Mu family house in front of us seems a little different from what it is now; at night, the living room is brightly lit.
Mu Jin stood at the door, his dark eyes fixed on it, his whole body tense. Behind that door was a world he could never reach.
He was completely stiff, and those few seconds felt like an eternity! He had never even dreamed of such a situation.
In the end, he pushed open the door and went inside.
"Jin Er, you finally know to come back! What time is it? All you do is run wild outside!" Old Madam Mu said, a little angry.
Mu Jin took a few steps and stood under the antique glass lamp in the living room. He looked at Old Madam Mu. Back then, the old lady had quite a temper. Sometimes, when she got anxious, she would pick up the feather duster and beat him.
He didn't speak, but his eyes quickly looked upstairs, where he saw a girl running down the stairs. She had short, flowing hair and was wearing a casual hoodie and shorts, and at first glance, she looked like a boy.
She ran quickly to Old Madam Mu's side, patting her back to help her catch her breath, while giving Mu Jin a knowing lookâthe look of someone who had handled things with ease when saving the day.
"Oh dear, Grandma, don't worry, it's still early. Our curfew is too early. Second brother came back early enough. I heard that Ye Mingshi and the others are never home."
Today is my and my second brother's birthday, Grandma, don't be angry! Come and cut the cake for us. If you cut the cake, we'll definitely have this day every year!
Madam Mu seemed to have calmed down a bit, but still said, "Xiao Xi is so much easier to deal with. If your second brother were even a tenth as well-behaved as you, I would be thanking God. Alright, I won't say anymore. You two hurry up and blow out the candles, or the day will be over."
The girl ran over and casually pulled Mu Jin, "Hurry up, second brother! I can't celebrate my birthday without you. I've been waiting for you for ages."
Mu Jin walked over stiffly, blew out the candles with the girl, and then Old Madam Mu helped them cut the cake.
While eating cream, the girl said to Grandma Mu with a smile, "Grandma, you should go get your beauty sleep. The birthday ceremony is over, and we'll have our midnight snack and then go to sleep."
Madam Mu seemed genuinely tired, and she had the housekeeper push her back to her bedroom.
The girl looked at Mu Jin and then asked curiously, "Second Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting so serious? Did Grandma scold you for going crazy?"
Mu Jin's gaze lingered on the girl's face, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her cheek.
The girl slapped him away in surprise, "Second brother, this is meat! Do you think it's clay? You've crushed it! You're acting really strange today!"
Mu Jin said in a dry voice, "Mu Xi."
The girl was even more puzzled. She suddenly put down the small plate, leaned over and touched Mu Jin's forehead. "Hiss, you don't have a fever? Why do you look like you're possessed?"
Mu Jin shook her head. "I'm fine. Today is our birthday, isn't it?"
The girl nodded. "Yeah, you didn't even forget about that, did you? Then you must have forgotten to prepare a birthday present for me too, right? You're something else, I did prepare a birthday present for you."
As she spoke, the girl tossed a box over.
Mu Jin didn't open it; he just stared at the girl, his mind in turmoil.
The girl suddenly sidled up to him, rubbing her hands together, and said, "Hey, second brother, since you didn't prepare a birthday present for me, why don't you lend me your boat?"
Mu Jin's aura instantly turned dangerous! He stared at the girl but didn't say anything.
The girl was a little surprised. "Second brother, why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of scary."
