I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Lin Jin followed Lan Xi back to the capital. On the way, Lan Xi did not forget to lead people to the mountains to suppress bandits. She once again refreshed her understanding of Lan Xi's martial arts ability.

"Why did Song Shiqiu transfer you to my side? This is such a waste." Lin Jin looked at Lan Xi's martial arts, which were not inferior to Xi Lilong's, and suddenly began to doubt whether Song Shiqiu could make rational use of resources.

"There is no such thing as waste. We were worthless back then. Fortunately, we were able to have work because of the adults' appreciation. That's how we were able to meet you, young lady." Lan Xi handed the buns to Lin Jin, "Young lady, please make do with it first. It's not easy to cook on the way."

The time she spent in the Prime Minister's Mansion could be said to be the most peaceful period of her life, although it was a bit short.

Lin Jin looked at the buns and then at the dry food in Lan Xi's hand: "You don't have to take care of me like this."

She gave one of the buns to Lanxi: "I don't eat much, one is enough."

There are only two left, what should I give them to her?

"Girl." Lan Xi was stunned, but looking at Lin Jin's expression, she knew she couldn't resist, so she had to accept the buns.

Lin Jin looked at Lan Xi in confusion: "Where are you going?"

"I'll go ask them for some dried meat for you, young lady, to try." Lan Xi smiled, and then walked towards the group of soldiers who were gathered together to eat dry food. After asking around, she actually got a small bag of dried meat.

Lanxi didn't like to carry these things with her as she thought it was troublesome, and she also didn't like to eat these hard dried meats, but now that Lin Jin was here, she didn't want to let Lin Jin go hungry.

"Girl, please try it. The boy said that his family knows how to make bacon and jerky." Lan Xi handed the jerky to Lin Jin like she was presenting a treasure.

Lin Jin glanced over there and said, "What should they do then?"

"Don't worry, girl. It's not worth much. I gave him the silver." Lan Xi picked up a piece of dried meat and put it to Lin Jin's lips. "You have lost a lot of weight. Maybe you haven't eaten well recently? You've also got a tan."

Lin Jin took the dried meat and felt a little hot in her heart: "You are no longer my maid, you don't have to serve me like this, I heard them call you the envoy, why are you still doing these things."

"I know the girl loves me, so I want to treat the girl well. Even if I don't serve the girl anymore, I still want to make the girl happy." Lan Xi smiled sincerely, as if it was still the same as before.

Meeting old friends is like the clear river, and when the plum and willow trees are in full bloom, joy comes with the spring.

Lin Jin touched Lan Xi's head with sore eyes and said, "How stupid! You four are all fools."

"We are relieved that the young lady is well. In the future, the four of us will not be around to serve you, so you should take care of yourself." Lan Xi was even happier when she saw Lin Jin eating the dried meat. "I will tell them about the young lady later, and they will definitely be happy."

"If you don't come back..."

"Miss, this is what the four of us should do. We are already satisfied to be able to rest by your side for a while." Lan Xi knew what Lin Jin was talking about and shook her head slowly, "We are just like grass. It is much better than other white cranes to be appreciated and pitied by you, the master."

Many white cranes will never meet someone who truly treats them in their entire lives, so what else can they be dissatisfied with?

Lin Jin pursed her lips and said nothing more. She looked at Lin Lin in the carriage. Lin Lin had been restricted in his movements in the past few days. Someone followed him wherever he went, like a death row prisoner.

Lan Xi noticed Lin Jin's gaze and snorted, "Miss, you don't have to feel sorry for her. She doesn't deserve your love."

"I didn't say anything." Lin Jin smiled bitterly. Perhaps she and the heroine were destined not to be on the same front from the beginning.

The journey would normally take five or six days on horseback, but because they had to look after Lin Lin, it took ten days to get back to the capital.

Lan Xi and Lin Jin said goodbye at the city gate: "Miss, I still have to take her to the Dali Temple, so I can't see you off."

"It's okay, it's okay. You go and do your own thing. I'll go find Song Shiqiu by myself." Lin Jin waved her hand nonchalantly. She still knew the way, but she suddenly felt a little homesick.

The capital has changed a lot in the past three years, but some things have remained the same. But it is different from before, and there is a sense of freshness that comes after a long absence.

"It's been a long time indeed." Lin Jin looked at the plaque of Yipinzhai, which was more beautiful than before. She wanted to go in and buy a piece of jujube paste cake, but when she felt her pockets, she found that she had no money, so she had to ride away.

Lin Jin looked at the Prime Minister's Mansion not far away, wondering how to knock on the door and what to say after knocking on the door.

"It feels a bit presumptuous no matter how I think about it." Lin Jin sat outside the side door with her horse, feeling that it would be awkward to appear in front of Song Shiqiu in any way. "System, what should I do? I'm a bit embarrassed."

[Host, just follow your heart.] The system could not give her any advice.

Lin Jin prepared herself mentally for a while before knocking on the side door. The doorman came to open the door quickly, but he did not recognize Lin Jin: "Who are you looking for, young lady?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Song..." Lin Jin almost read out the name directly.

"Looking for the master." The concierge looked Lin Jin up and down. The people in the mansion didn't know that Lin Jin had come back to life. In addition, Lin Jin's appearance had long been blurred in their memories over the past three years, not to mention that she had changed a little now. "Does the young lady have a visiting card?"

"No, can you please let someone know?" Lin Jin's heart was beating fast. "Yes...it was Master Liu Zhengqing who asked me to come. Please tell him that my last name is Lin."

When the doorman heard Liu Zhengqing's name, he suddenly realized what was going on: "Miss, please come in."

Lin Jin was surprised for a moment. Although Liu Zhengqing had a good relationship with Song Shiqiu now, why did he let her in as soon as he heard about Liu Zhengqing? What if she was a bad guy?

She followed the servant to the reception hall and chose a seat to sit down as if she was familiar with the place.

"Miss, please have some tea." The maid in a lilac dress poured tea for Lin Jin, but was stunned when she saw Lin Jin's appearance. She stood aside with her eyes lowered, watching silently.

This girl looks very similar to their wives.

"Thank you." Lin Jin then felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Jin felt his throat was much moister. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, Lin Jin looked up.

Song Shiqiu stood in the courtyard in a green robe. The bamboo patterns on his clothes made him look like a pampered young man from a scholarly family. However, this man held great power and had experienced many ups and downs in officialdom for many years, which gave him a murderous aura.

This man was mature despite his young age. Even though the years did not seem to have left much of a mark on him, Lin Jin still noticed changes in him, as if Song Shiqiu had aged a lot overnight.

Three years ago, Song Shiqiu was in his early twenties, but three years later, he was almost thirty.

"Sir." Lin Jin stood up and moved his lips, not knowing how to start.

Song Shiqiu seemed to have just confirmed that Lin Jin had really returned. He walked a few steps forward to Lin Jin, and his eyes fell on Lin Jin without fail, as if comparing the changes in Lin Jin compared to the past.

Lin Jin felt a little embarrassed when being stared at: "Ahem."

"You..." Song Shiqiu took a deep breath, controlling his emotions and not letting himself lose composure in front of everyone. In the end, he only uttered a sentence that was tender, gentle, and full of longing, "You're back."

Lin Jin's face really turned red this time. She didn't know why Song Shiqiu's words made her blush, and her voice was tinged with panic: "Ah, ah, yes, you know."

Isn't it just a normal sentence? Why does it sound like a love talk?

"Yeah, I know." Song Shiqiu took Lin Jin's hand, which was warm, really, "Ah Jin..."

This affectionate "Ah Jin" made Lin Jin completely unable to hold back. She quickly pushed Song Shiqiu away, hoping to ease her discomfort: "Wait... Sir, I know you are very beautiful, but, but you can't use your beauty to lure me."

Trouble, trouble!

Song Shiqiu was stunned for a moment. His hands felt empty and he felt his heart was empty as well.

"Let's talk about other things first." Lin Jin hypnotized herself in her heart that business is important, business is important.
