"What are you doing, little sister? Do you need help?"
Xinghe didn't even look up. "No need."
Even after being rejected, Sheng Lao Er didn't leave. He just stood next to Xinghe and silently handed her the tools.
Xinghe glanced at him twice, then ignored him.
Xinghe suddenly remembered something, "Was that diamond bracelet in my pocket a gift from you?"
She got drunk that night and forgot everything when she woke up the next day. She only found the bracelet in her bag when she was changing clothes.
I asked my parents and Shengheng, but it wasn't them.
She thought about the remaining people and concluded that the most likely candidate was Sheng Lao Er.

Xinghe looked at him with a strange expression and quietly moved a little further away from him.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

He placed the things in Xinghe's room.
As he was about to leave, Xinghe called him back.
"Wait, here's your reward." Xinghe tossed a talisman at Sheng Lao Er. "It can ward off some evil spirits."
The pupils behind Sheng Lao Er's gold-rimmed glasses dilated slightly.
"Is it a gift for me? Thank you."
Xinghe shifted his gaze slightly. "It's just payment for your help. I'm a person who always repays kindness."
