On the day of the Reunion Festival, Liang Jin returned just in time for lunch. Mu Huan wanted to try some fresh dishes but didn't want Liang Ci to work too hard, so she ordered a large table of takeout.
Liang Ci opened the door and Liang Jin's face showed fatigue that was hard to hide.
"Brother!" Liang Jin's voice was a little weak!
"Come in!"
Liang Jin smiled again. She didn't want Mu Huan to see her like this, with her face pale and her body ravaged. It was too miserable, not at all consistent with her bright and beautiful appearance before!
"Huanhuan, happy reunion festival!"
Mu Huan turned around, and there should have been a smile on his face, but the moment he saw Liang Jin, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Liang Jin was puzzled. Could it be that his condition had been discovered? "What's wrong? Why do you seem unhappy to see me?"
Mu Huan smiled awkwardly, perhaps she was too sensitive.
"No, of course I'm happy that you can come!"
Liang Jin smiled and sat down. "That's great! There are so many varieties of dishes today. They look very appetizing."
Liang Ci picked up a piece of meat for Mu Huan and watched him eat it, but Mu Huan was reluctant to start eating. Instead, he kept staring at Liang Jin, or to be more precise, at Liang Jin's back.
"Huanhuan, is there something on my face? Why have you been staring at me since you walked in?"
"Ajin, what did you do last night?"
It was clearly a simple greeting, but at this moment Liang Jin had no way to answer Mu Huan. The dish he had just picked up fell on the table, and he looked at Mu Huan in a daze.
"What else could I do? I just went home last night."
Then he started to eat his rice in big mouthfuls, his eyes avoiding Mu Huan.
"Ajin, for your own safety, you should tell me honestly what you did last night."
Mu Huan's face was rather serious, and it didn't look like he wanted to joke with Liang Jin at all.
"Or let me put it another way, did you kill someone with a shark last night?"
“Ahem!”
Liang Jin choked on the food in his mouth and quickly drank a sip of water. He looked at Mu Huan with a look of guilt, shock and disbelief.
"Huanhuan, I..."
"Actually, I should have guessed it from the moment I saw Master's unreserved transformation in front of you. However, last night, I was shocked to realize that some things were far more complicated than I'd seen on the surface. Today, when I sensed the strong scent of blood from you and saw the resentful spirit lingering around you for a long time, I realized that what I had thought before was not just a coincidence."
Liang Jin was so shocked she couldn't even gag with an egg. What was Huan Huan talking about? What about the smell of blood, the vengeful spirits, and the Master's transformation? What was all this about? Could it be what she had guessed?
"Huanhuan, you are..."
Liang Ci remained silent the entire time, hoping to use this world's perfect disguise to allow Huan'er to spend a happy and peaceful time. However, he didn't expect that Huan'er was too smart after all and realized everything so quickly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry that I will be scared, because my nature is not much different from yours." We are not normal people, so how can we talk about who is afraid of whom and who is afraid of whom?
Mu Huan stretched out his hand and shot out a dark blue flame, heading straight towards Liang Jin's back.
The resentful spirit on his back instantly turned into smoke and dissipated into the air.
Liang Jin was startled. She almost thought Huanhuan was going to attack her.
"This is?"
"If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze." Mu Huan smiled calmly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Liang Jin swallowed. What on earth was going on? Liang Jin had originally thought it was a soft and adorable fairy, but now it had turned into a little devil that could wreak havoc with just a wave of its hand? Even if it was a little devil, it was still the cutest little devil!
"Okay, let's eat!"
Liang Jin was still in shock, and when she came to her senses, the table was already a mess!
Liang Jin: “…” These two people are devils, how can they eat so fast?
"Ajin, you've been too angry lately, so it's not suitable for you to eat meat. I'll order some vegetarian dishes for you."
Liang Jin: “…”
Liang Ci nodded, and the wife followed suit: "Huan'er is right!"
Liang Jin wanted to curse: "..."
She is a real carnivore. Asking her to eat vegetarian food would be like asking her to die, wouldn't it?
"Huanhuan, you won't feel full just by eating vegetarian food." Liang Jin wanted to quickly save his meat.
"And if you only eat vegetarian food, your nutrition won't be balanced! You need meat, protein, and vitamins."
He spoke so logically that Mu Huan almost agreed.
"No, if you want to do things like last night again, you'd better listen to me."
Mu Huan now understood a truth: as long as they were from the three major families, no one had clean hands. However, it could not be denied that they actually wanted to be clean, but family reasons forced them to have blood on their hands.
"Okay...okay!" Liang Jin's happiness was gone.
Mu Huan smiled secretly in his heart. In fact, it didn’t matter what kind of person he was or what kind of personality he was hiding. What mattered was whether he was real when facing you. That was enough.
"After the Reunion Festival, it's time to go back to school! Master, I want to go to the Xiao family again tonight."
Liang Ci raised his eyebrows and looked up casually, as if thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
Mu Huan continued to press on: "Really, really, I'm just taking a look. You have to believe me, Master. I will never let anything happen to myself."
Liang Jin felt that he couldn't get a word in on this topic, so he just kept quiet.
"good!"
Liang Ci took off the white jade ring from his thumb and put it on Mu Huan's hand without saying a word.
Mu Huan: “?”
Liang Jin felt as if thunder was striking her. Her elder brother must have loved Huanhuan so much that he gave up his life so easily.
"Wear it, and when you encounter danger, just turn it." It will naturally appear by your side at that time, so that you will not be isolated and helpless when you are in danger.
Originally, there was no other purpose for coming to this world, and no other purpose for me to do. All I had ever wanted from the beginning was a single moment of joy. I hoped she could fulfill her wish, so that I could be free of burdens.
Mu Huan nodded and told her directly that this jade ring must not be as ordinary as it appeared. For Liang Ci to wear it on his hand all the time, and to have it remain invisible, it must be something very important. Therefore, she must protect it well and absolutely not allow it to be damaged in any way.
