Shang Lin said to Han Ze, "Brother Han, I need to wash my hands."
Han Ze hurriedly said, "Come with me."
Mo Ce quickly followed, saying, "After driving all this way, I need to wash too."
Mr. Han laughed from behind, "It's so good to be young, look at all this energy."
Mrs. Han quickly chimed in, "Of course."
The apartment is over 100 square meters, and the bathroom is even bigger than the bedroom where Shang Lin currently lives. But he didn't care about that and just said to Han Ze, "Get me a bottle of water."
Han Ze was taken aback and hurriedly reached for it. Mo Ce asked Shang Lin in a low voice, "Did you see the problem?"
Shang Lin waved his right hand. "It's just a little evil spirit, nothing serious."
Mo Ce subconsciously took a step back. "How come I didn't see anything? No, can I take a look?"
Shang Lin smiled. "It's just a wisp of smoke. Ordinary people can't see it, but they can sense it. Would you like to try it?"
"W-what's wrong with me?" Mo Ce asked, a little nervous. "Won't this have any negative effects on me?"
Just then, Han Ze brought in a small bottle of mineral water. "Will this be okay?"
"Okay, open it."
In fact, Shang Lin just wanted to show these two people that since he had come and done the work, he couldn't just make empty promises. Otherwise, he could have simply torn the baby off and scattered it, instead of going through all this trouble.
Han Ze hurriedly unscrewed the bottle cap, and Shang Lin immediately reached out his left hand to take it, slapped the bottle mouth with his right hand, and then took the bottle cap from Han Ze's hand with his left hand and quickly screwed it on. A vermilion pen appeared out of thin air in his hand and quickly drew a circle of patterns on the bottle mouth.
Mo Ce and Han Ze were both stunned, as if they had been struck by acupuncture. The vermilion pen disappeared quickly. Shang Lin showed them the bottle, and they saw that the top layer of the mineral water was constantly churning, like boiling water.
Mo Ce mustered his courage and touched the bottle; it wasn't warm at all. He instinctively asked, "What... is this magic?"
Shang Lin was taken aback, but then smiled and said, "That's one way to understand it."
After saying that, he pointed to the bottle opening and said, "As long as the seal doesn't break, it will stay like this."
Han Ze hurriedly asked, "What is this? Is this the culprit that made my nephew cry so much?"
Shang Lin said seriously, "I can only say part of it, after all, I haven't been to his house yet. Maybe his house has nothing, or maybe there are more things like this."
Han Ze felt a chill run down his spine for a moment. "Then let's eat quickly, and then go to his house to take a look."
Mo Ce quickly regained his composure. "The situation has changed now. Aren't you worried about your brother-in-law stopping you?"
"Let's figure something out." Han Ze hurriedly washed his hands. "Let's go out to eat quickly, otherwise we'll arouse suspicion."
"All right."
The three of them quickly washed their hands and headed straight for the restaurant. Shang Lin put the bottle of mineral water directly into the Dragon Spirit Tower. They had to keep a close eye on it, in case it got lost.
The New Year's dinner table was naturally filled with plenty of meat and fish. Knowing that Han Ze was coming back, his parents brought out everything they could to put on the table, as if he couldn't get anything to eat outside.
However, since Shang Lin was the youngest and a guest, he didn't have to serve himself any food. Except for his sister and brother-in-law, everyone would put food in his bowl, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Mr. Han also asked, "Could Xiao Shang have some fruit wine or beer?"
Shang Lin immediately refused, "No, I'm allergic to alcohol, I can't drink any kind of alcohol."
In his past life, Shang Lin had only drunk spirit wine a limited number of times. In this life, he was still a minor, and his body had previously teetered on the brink of life and death. How could he possibly drink alcohol? Now his body has been reshaped, but…
He's half-human, half-demon, and we don't even know what kind of demonic constitution he has, so it's best if he doesn't drink at all. Since he wants to abstain from alcohol, he can only say that he's allergic to alcohol. Fortunately, so far, this reason has always been accepted.
Sure enough, Mr. Han said with some regret, "Oh dear, you can't drink that. Not only can you not drink it, but you also have to be careful about whether certain drinks contain alcohol in the future. You can't be careless about that."
Han's mother quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Let alone alcohol allergies, even pollen allergies are terrifying."
Han Ze then put more food on Shang Lin's plate, saying, "Then little brother, eat more vegetables. My mom cooks very well."
Shang Lin smiled sweetly, "Yes, I really like to eat it."
Han's mother immediately smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more. Look how thin this child is. Did he not like to eat when he was little?"
Shang Lin smiled awkwardly, accepting the blame, "Yeah, but we might eat it now."
Mr. Han laughed and said, "That's right. Haven't you heard the old saying, 'A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home'? Xiao Shang is at the age where he can eat a lot. Come on, have some more."
Shang Lin ate quite a lot while being force-fed by everyone. During this time, the child actually lay quietly in his crib, playing happily by himself.
When Sister Han came to her senses, she subconsciously checked the time. "That's strange, why is my baby so well-behaved? Is it because my home environment is so good?"
My brother-in-law didn't think the environment was much better than his own, but his son was so quiet and played by himself, which was unprecedented since he was born.
But he said, "I wonder what will happen tonight?"
Sister Han hurriedly said, "You haven't had a good rest during this holiday. Go home tonight and let my brother go back with you to bring me and the child's things. We'll stay at home for a few days."
My brother-in-law asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else you haven't taken?"
"A change of clothes!"
“You two are staying at your parents’ house, why should I go home alone? I want to stay here too.”
My sister was a little annoyed. "Why can't you understand me? I'm letting you go home so you can rest properly. I have maternity leave, but do you? What are you going to do if you're listless when you go back to work in a couple of days?"
"Alright then, thank you for your hard work, honey."
"You've worked hard too."
Shang Lin, with her sharp ears and eyes, couldn't help but silently admire her sister from the sofa. She thought, "My sister is really amazing. But seeing how good her sister and brother-in-law's relationship is, I realize that family harmony is more important than anything else."
Han Ze spoke up at the opportune moment, "Then let's hurry up and get it. I still need to take my comrades and younger brother out to play."
My brother-in-law was successfully persuaded by the family to go home, and Shang Lin also successfully went along. After all, it was the provincial capital, and the distance between the two families was still a bit far.
Han Ze followed his brother-in-law's car in his own car, but asked Shang Lin, "Where did you put that bottle of water? I didn't see it."
Mo Ce also looked at Shang Lin, because he also wanted to know the answer.
“Here it is.” Shang Lin flicked his wrist, and the bottle of water appeared in his hand. He explained considerately and casually, “It’s just a little trick. It just makes storing things safer.”
Mo Ce suddenly asked, "Can such trivial skills be passed on to outsiders?"
