I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Tu Huaining glared at Lin Jin: "Why are you touching me like a dog?"

Lin Jin: “Puff!”

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Tu Huaining became even angrier and simply ignored Lin Jin, which in return resulted in Lin Jin having to hold back a smile that was even more difficult.

"Huai Ning, don't scold yourself like that." Lin Jin slowed down, and only then realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said, "That's not what I meant. I just think Huai Ning, you're cute."

Tu Huaining seemed to be really angry. He asked the driver to stop the carriage before even reaching the Prime Minister's Mansion: "I'm going home."

Lin Jin let out a sigh in her heart, as if she had really made someone angry: "Huai Ning, I was wrong, really, I will never laugh at you again."

Tu Huaining lowered his eyelids and said, "I have something else to do at home."

"Will you still be with me and play with me in the future?" Lin Jin looked at Tu Huaining miserably, as if she would cry if he shook his head.

Although Tu Huaining knew that she was pretending, he still couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Can you stop being like this all the time? You cry about everything. Is crying any use when you are in danger?"

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Crying is useless, so can't we cry? Then laughing is useless, so why do people still laugh? There is no difference between crying and laughing, they are just a way for people to express their emotions. Okay, okay, just don't be angry."

"I'm leaving now. I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you tomorrow." Tu Huaining really had something to do. She was going to start training Lin Jin with poison and making hidden weapons tonight so that Lin Jin could protect herself when she was away. "Don't contact Lin Er anymore. Got it?"

Lin Jin nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

Why does it feel like everyone in the villain camp has the same PTSD as the heroine? This... is fate.

Tu Huaining then jumped off the carriage with her food box in her hand with satisfaction. After the first autumn examination was over today, she was going to find Liu Zhengqing to tell him about her return to the Valley of Divine Doctors. While she was away, she could only leave her cousin to the waste Liu Zhengqing.

Lin Jin habitually made a goodbye gesture: "Be careful on the road."

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Jin trotted to Fuyun Courtyard as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards following him. He did not feel relieved until he saw Song Shixia standing in the yard feeding the fish.

Lin Jin adjusted her breath to make herself look less flustered, and took a food box from the maid: "Take the other portion back to Bikong Courtyard and share it with Xunmian and the others."

"Thank you girl."

Lin Jin walked to the door of Fuyun Courtyard with the food box in his hand, hid the food box behind him, and looked at Song Shixia with a smile: "Sister Shixia, guess what I brought you?"

"Ajin is back." Song Shixia handed the fish food in her hand to the person next to her and walked towards Lin Jin, "Let me see what you brought."

"Ding ding ding, your favorite jujube paste cake." Lin Jin took out the food box with the words "Yipinzhai" on it, "Sister, please let me in."

"When have you been so polite to me? Do I need to invite you in to my yard?" Song Shixia poked Lin Jin's head helplessly, holding Lin Jin's hand and walking inside, "Why are your hands so cold today?"

Lin Jin pouted and said coquettishly: "My hands are not cold, sister, please stop talking nonsense. Are you trying to say that I didn't take good care of myself?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." Song Shixia took out her own warm jade and warmed Lin Jin's hands. "It's getting cold, Jin, you should wear more clothes."

"I know, sister, try the jujube paste cake I bought for you." Lin Jin took out all the cakes from the food box while saying, "It's still hot, try it."

Song Shixia casually picked up a piece of jujube paste cake and tasted it: "It's delicious. Ah Jin seems to be a lot happier recently, and more energetic than usual."

"Hmm? Really? Maybe you found what you want to do." Lin Jin ate the osmanthus cake with a smile, and then as if she thought of something, she took out the Buddhist beads and gave them to Song Shixia, "I met a monk named Xianglian in Zhuangzi today, and he gave me a string of Buddhist beads, sister, take a look."

"Master Xianglian?" Song Shixia took the Buddhist beads and looked at them carefully, then said with a smile, "These Buddhist beads must have been blessed. Since Master Xianglian gave them to you, you should keep them. They can protect you from all evil."

Lin Jin blinked: "Sister, do you know this Xianglian?"

Is he really some kind of hermit master?

Song Shixia carefully coiled the beads twice and put them on Lin Jin's wrist: "We can't say we know each other, but Xianglian has done a favor to me and my brother. When we were traveling west, my brother unfortunately contracted an epidemic. I could only pray to the gods and Buddhas for him every day. I once made a promise to the Buddha that if my brother returned safely, I would offer sacrifices to the gods and Buddhas every month."

"Later, Xianglian saved the adults?" Lin Jin understood. No wonder Song Shixia went to the mountain to worship Buddha once a month.

"Later, Master Xianglian brought the prescription, and the plague was eliminated, saving many innocent people and my brother." Song Shixia covered her lips and coughed lightly, so every year no matter what happened, she would go to the nearby temple to worship Buddha once a month. If she made a wish, she had to fulfill it.

After knowing that Xianglian was indeed capable and not a swindler, Lin Jin was no longer happy. She suddenly felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand had lost its sweetness and was a little difficult to swallow: "Then, he is indeed a benefactor."

"Since Master Xianglian can give his Buddhist beads to Ajin, then Ajin must be a person with great fortune." Song Shixia's eyes were full of joy, "This makes me feel at ease."

Song Shixia's smile made Lin Jin's heart pierce, but she still pretended that nothing happened, pretending that she suddenly remembered something: "Ah, sister, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to ask adults, I almost forgot, I won't tell you now, love you, I'm leaving first."

"Ah..." Song Shixia wanted Lin Jin to eat a few more snacks before leaving, but Lin Jin was in a hurry as if there was something urgent. "Jin, what's wrong that you don't even have time to eat a piece of cake?"

After Lin Jin left Fuyun Courtyard, she stood by the wall, not knowing what to do. Her nose felt sore and her heart ached. She looked at the half-eaten piece of osmanthus cake in her hand and felt extremely sad.

How come Xianglian is not a liar?

For the first time in her life, she hoped that the person she met was a liar rather than a real monk.

Lin Jin didn't want to go back to Bikongyuan, nor did she want to look for Song Shiqiu. She felt that she needed some quiet time, quiet time all by herself.

"Don't follow me, I'll stay by myself for a while. You can go back to Bikong Court and have snacks with them." After Lin Jin finished speaking, he left the maid behind and walked around the Prime Minister's Mansion. After finding a quiet place, he wanted to sit down, but he realized that it had been raining recently and there was no place to sit outside.

Because Song Shixia was in poor health, there were large rocks, benches, pavilions and other things for people to rest everywhere in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was no place to sit in the garden, so Lin Jin found a pavilion to sit down and daydream.

Shi Nian twisted his chubby body and trotted to the pavilion, but he didn't even look at Lin Jin. He sat opposite Lin Jin and licked his paws.

Lin Jin: “…”

This brat definitely did it on purpose.

"Nian'er, come here." The bitterness in Lin Jin's heart was dissipated a lot.

Shi Nian glanced at Lin Jin lazily, then simply lay down and began to turn over on his belly, but he didn't move towards Lin Jin.

Lin Jin had no choice but to go over and pick up Shi Nian, rubbing her belly and laughing at her dirty feet: "They say cats like to be clean, why are you so dirty?"

She put the half piece of osmanthus cake in her hand to her lips and said: "Only eat a little, don't be greedy."

Shi Nian just sniffed it and turned his head away in disgust. Lin Jin was just about to ask why this kid was so picky when he saw a cat that looked exactly like the tabby cat in his arms running into the pavilion. The cat looked at Lin Jin and was completely stunned.

Lin Jin: “…”

Real or fake? Oh no, she seemed to have recognized the wrong cat.
