“…”
Si Jin frowned slightly, a hint of excitement flickering in her eyes: "You're planning to lock me up?"
"Don't mention it." The old man turned his gaze: "I'm just following the doctor's orders to let you rest at home for a couple more days."
As she spoke, she drew back the curtains and inspected the layout of Si Jin's house and the food in the refrigerator: "You can't eat this, and you should eat less of this too. These things... aren't very fresh anymore. I'll go and buy some more. You stay home and behave yourself."
Older people speak as if they are lecturing a child.
Even when leaving, she insisted on adjusting the air conditioner to a suitable temperature herself and instructed Si Jin not to tamper with the gas stove.
"The kitchen smells strongly of cooking oil, which might make you uncomfortable. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you or cook it for you when I get back."
"Don't stare at your computer and phone all the time. If you see too many things, your heart will be overloaded, understand?"
"I know." Si Jin replied with a light smile. Three seconds after the old man left, she turned on her computer and confirmed the meeting number with Hongyan Pavilion's C Department.
Then, a long message was left: "There's a meeting tomorrow afternoon. If you can't find out who cheated out of their conscience by taking money and hiring that idiot before then, then you can all come back with your heads."
The Hongyan Pavilion has strict rules. Before accepting an assassination mission, they must conduct a thorough investigation and only kill those who do not meet the standards of being a decent human being.
Previously, the boss had killed the minister of the F department by mistake, and even made the entire cabinet watch. They dared not be careless and immediately went down to investigate.
After closing the interface, Si Jin sipped her tea and devised a plan to torture and kill Lu Ting. Once she was sure it was terrifying enough, she got up and walked towards the door.
"Sir, do you... know the password?"
"I don't know." Si Jin finished speaking, then reached out and pressed her hand on the combination lock, smiling: "Fingerprint recognition."
[Hiss...] Xiao Yao gasped softly. Sure enough, the devil is always one step ahead of the saint. The disciple can never outwit the master.
However, it looks like there's a surveillance camera on your collar!
"Yes." Si Jin smiled: "It was the beast Yu who released it. He wanted to see if I was resting properly, so naturally... I wasn't resting properly."
If we really went along with that old beast's wishes, life would lose all its fun.
This world has no hope of a counterattack, so why can't we let him find some fun for himself? Life in that world is just too stifling.
So I simply sat on the swing outside the yard and started reading.
Xiao Yao also had some rare free time, so she went to the yard to chase butterflies. As she chased them, she ended up at Si Jin's feet.
Looking up, I saw a person engrossed in reading. He wore a simple shirt and trousers, exuding a cool and aloof aura. Yet, his naturally reddish peach blossom eyes added a touch of devilish charm to his appearance.
The little system suddenly remembered a sentence it had overheard: Emperor Qingyun's evaluation of his host: "Si Jin is very restrained when it comes to matters of principle, but he is also frighteningly crazy in his daily life. He is both righteous and wicked, and quite charming."
Hmm, it seems so, she really is quite charming.
However, to prevent Rakshasa from taking the gold chain again and to give it some kind of anthropomorphic system, Xiao Yao didn't dare to think about it any further and went straight back to her sea of consciousness.
The system immediately issued an alert: [My lord! The old man is back!]
"Oh." Si Jin responded, finished reading the last chapter of the book, and then slowly turned and walked into the house.
So when Yu Linyuan returned, he was standing at the main entrance and saw the boy entering and leaving the room without any hindrance.
He hurried back to the room and found that the computer was still on. He touched the monitor and found it was still warm. He turned around and looked at Si Jin beside him.
"The doctor said you should rest, it won't hurt. If you don't rest, don't blame me for thinking of other ways to make you stay in bed and rest for a few days."
