That day, Qi stayed until the sun set and the sky was full of stars before leaving.
The next day, he came again.
The young man was still sitting under the shade of the tree at the gate of the yard, with an unshakable and leisurely expression. When he saw Ke Jin, he would greet him with a smile, and when he saw Ou Nuo's words, he pretended not to see them.
Ke Jin could understand Qi's resistance to Ounuo - it was Ounuo who set the trap to catch Qi; it was Ounuo who made Qi suffer; it was Ounuo who arrested Xiaoju; and it was Ounuo who angered the other party and almost caused a big fight yesterday.
For this reason, Ke Jin specially warned Ounuo not to provoke Qi again: one is a high-level card spirit with innate superpowers, and the other is a bellicosity boy who holds a lot of powerful cards. If the two of them start making trouble again, even if his card pool courtyard is armed with armored alloys, it will not be enough for them to deal with it - this time he can't afford to rebuild it with 600,000 star coins!
"Tsk, I don't even want to bother with that kind of scum." Facing Ke Jin's warning, the boy was very disdainful and said arrogantly, "At worst, I won't go to the yard. Can you rest assured now?"
As a result, Ke Jin went to the kitchen to wash some fruit, and when he came out, he saw Ounuo sitting in front of the small window with an SSR card in his hand, forcing Xiaochu to eat it fiercely.
The "jelly ball" Xiaochu was released from the light ball last night. Although no one knows what it is, it seems to live on card energy like the card spirit. SSR cards are good cards for humans, and they are also very rare and delicious supplements for Xiaochu. But at this time, facing the temptation of top-notch food, Xiaochu did not jump on it happily. Tears sparkled in his black eyes, and his whole body huddled up tightly, shaking like a frightened little rabbit.
Ke Jin silently raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Qi Zheng outside staring at this side, his golden eyes almost spitting fire. If Ou Nuo had not been in the room, he would have rushed over to beat someone up.
Meanwhile, the boy was still threatening fiercely.
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Are you going to eat it or not? If you don't, I will eat you!!"
Ke Jin: “…”
This overwhelming feeling of forcibly robbing women and forcing them into prostitution... Is this naughty kid Ounuo really a genius at attracting hatred? !
Unable to bear it any longer, Ke Jin grabbed Xiaoju from the windowsill and carefully placed her on the small table covered with a tablecloth. Then, he found an SR card from the card library and fed it to Xiaoju while glaring at Ounuo sternly.
"Ounuo, are you a devil? I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a sack on you and beat you up one day."
The arrogant Fourth Prince did not take Ke Jin's condemnation to heart at all. He glanced at the furious Qi outside with a comfortable look, leaned against the window in a cool manner, and said casually.
"Ha, except for you, no one can beat me." He snorted, "Who dares? Come and I will crush them to death."
Ke Jin blinked and asked in confusion: "Besides me? ...Have I ever hit you?"
Someone's expression froze for a moment.
"When did it happen?" Ke Jin was still thinking carefully. Although he felt that Ounuo deserved a beating many times, he probably never really hit him, right?
"Ah... um... well... I, I just said that casually!"
After saying that, the boy quickly disappeared, completely losing his previous arrogance and composure, looking like he was running away.
Ke Jin was confused: "?"
What's wrong with this kid?
Uh...did I say something terrible?
***
Ke Jin originally thought that since Ounuo had made Qi so angry, the other party would not come again. Unexpectedly, on the third day, Qi still showed up in the Kachi courtyard on time.
"This guy is really shameless." Ou Nuo frowned and stared at the figure under the shade of the tree, "He's here again? He still has the nerve to come?"
"Anyway, he didn't do anything to the card pool again, so just treat him as an ordinary customer." Ke Jinzhao glanced out the window and said indifferently.
"You really are..." The boy sighed, his eyes wandering around Ke Jin's collar, "Humph, the scar has healed and you've forgotten the pain."
Um?
Following the boy's gaze, Ke Jin looked down and saw that there was still a faint trace of the purple bruise near his collarbone from Qi's earlier pressure.
Could it be that Ounuo was bothered by this? That was why he was so displeased with Qi and always wanted to cause trouble for him?
Ke Jin was stunned, and suddenly he had a feeling in his heart that he didn't know how to describe. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. In the end, he could only smile lightly and gently rub the boy's head.
This child is really... If he could be more honest, he would be a very likable and lovely child.

At noon, Gu Qianqian came to Ke Jin's place for lunch. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she found a handsome silver-haired man sitting under the shade of a tree at the door. Her eyes immediately widened.
After sitting near the door for three days, Qi had long been accustomed to other people's gazes. Noticing Gu Qianqian staring at him, he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.
Gu Qianqian: “!!!”
Ke Jin was setting the dishes at the dining table when he heard a "bang" and a figure burst open the door like a whirlwind and ran to his side. He felt the tablecloth being blown up by the wind created by the figure.
"Xiao Ke! Who's that handsome guy at the door!!" Gu Qianqian's eyes sparkled, and the air around her seemed to be filled with pink bubbles. "Ahhh! So handsome! Is he a newly hired employee or a customer who comes here to draw a card?"
Ke Jin glanced out the window: "Oh, him..."
Before Ke Jin could figure out how to talk to Gu Qianqian, Ou Nuo, who was sitting next to him, snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Handsome? You can call this handsome?! I will look more handsome than him in ten years..."
This line sounded very familiar to Ke Jin. When he was praising Bai Fan for being handsome, Ou Nuo had confidently said that he would be hundreds of blocks ahead of Bai Fan in ten years, and would be so handsome that he would blind him. So he was ready to listen to the boy's "overflowing confidence" boast. But for some reason, when he and Ou Nuo looked at each other, the boy seemed to remember something and suddenly got stuck, like a bloated balloon that was suddenly punctured and deflated. His originally domineering speech suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Compared to him, compared to him... compared to him..." The boy grunted for a long time, and suddenly slammed the table in anger.
"Humph! There's no comparison! He's just a gatekeeper at best!"
Gu Qianqian & Ke Jin: "..."
Gu Qianqian thought: Guarding the gate wouldn't be bad either! Woohoo, I also want such a handsome guy to guard the gate of my Kachi courtyard! QAQ
Ke Jin thought: Although it is a good thing that this kid knows how to be humble and no longer brags about being the most handsome man in the universe...but why do you keep peeking at me? I won't hit you!
***
Gu Qianqian thought today’s lunch was simply delicious.
Not only could she satisfy her appetite, but she could also feast her eyes. During the meal, except when she was picking up food, her eyes never left the window.
"You don't have to rush like that." Ke Jin wanted to laugh. "If you want to see him, he can be here every day recently." After a slight pause, he added, "At least for a month."
Gu Qianqian almost choked on the food in her mouth: "He's here every day? Xiao Ke, didn't you say he's not a customer or an employee? Then why does he come every day? You're not really looking for him to guard your yard, are you?"
He is a guard at the gate, but he is the exact opposite, a thief...
But Ke Jin couldn't tell Gu Qianqian about Qi's identity. Once the identity of this high-level Ka Ling was exposed, it would bring considerable trouble and trouble to Ka Ling himself. In the end, Ke Jin could only speak vaguely.
"Well, just assume that he is bored and wants to come here..."
"Your place is truly a Feng Shui treasure." Gu Qianqian had a face full of envy and longing in her eyes.
"Before, Bai Fan was just a handsome boy, and now a handsome guy has come here to serve as... uh, a gatekeeper without any title or status. When you recruit a card master next time, will you also recruit a super handsome guy? Wow, if things keep going like this, you can even have a harem of handsome men in this small card courtyard!"
Ke Jin almost spit out his food: "What the hell is this! There are only two of them, how can it be called a harem!"
"Three." Gu Qianqian pointed at Ke Jin with a smile, "You are a handsome guy too." Suddenly she realized that the boy sitting next to her was staring at her, so she hurriedly touched the boy's head.
"Ah, I almost forgot about little Nuonuo." Gu Qianqian said with a smile, "Our little Nuonuo is also a little cutie. When she grows up, she will definitely be the most beautiful girl among all the girls. She has the best relationship with Xiao Ke, so she will definitely be the queen of the harem~!"
Ever since Ke Jin read the novel he got from Gu Qianqian, he knew that this girl had some strange hobbies, and he was prepared for her occasional outrageous remarks. However, Ke Jin felt that he could tolerate it, but Ounuo was so proud that he probably wouldn't tolerate it, and he might even start a fight on the spot.
As a result, the boy said nothing and even looked very satisfied. He smiled at Gu Qianqian, lowered his head and continued to eat obediently.
Ke Jin: “…………”
Why could Gu Qianqian make Ounuo Shutan happy with just a few words, while he was always despised even though he was so worried before? ?
Is being good at coaxing children also a racial advantage unique to girls? ?
***
The next morning, Ke Jin went to the yard to open the pool as usual, and as expected, he saw Qi coming again.
In view of the other party's good performance in the past few days, especially the fact that no matter how Ounuo provoked him, Qi endured the humiliation and did not attack again, Ke Jin had a much better impression of this Ka Ling.
Ke Jin nodded to him politely, and the silver-haired young man responded with an elegant smile as always.
Afterwards, Ke Jin went back to the house to pack up. When he came out an hour later, he had a small bag on his shoulder and his coat on.
"Are you going out?" Qi Jian Ke Jin walked towards the courtyard gate, looking like he was going out.
"Yeah." Ke Jin looked down at the time on the communicator and said briefly, "Let's go to the city."
There was a large-scale job fair at the talent market in Qixing City today. Secretary Xiaobai knew that Ke Jin was going to recruit new card masters, so he applied for a booth for him in the name of the Card Pool Bureau. Ke Jin certainly couldn't miss it.
The job fair actually started in the afternoon, but yesterday the "Kaleidoscope" card store said that the cards that Ke Jin had consigned were sold out again, and he was needed to go over to restock them. In addition, Gu Qianqian also agreed yesterday that she would come to help look after Ounuo, so Ke Jin felt relieved and chose to take a bus to the city in the morning.
Ke Jin walked out of the yard and walked along the mountain road for a while. Suddenly, he stopped and looked behind him in surprise.
"Qi, why are you following me?"
