I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"It doesn't matter, you can do parkour or roller running, I have no objection if you climb up to the roof as long as it helps you lose weight." Lin Jin didn't care at all, she didn't care about the way time and thought consumed energy.

Shi Nian's tail, which had been raised high, dropped down, and his pupils widened, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Jin would actually say that.

"But don't look for a place to sleep." Lin Jin said, waving her hand, "Go follow Nian'er, don't let it be lazy."

"Ah! Ha!" Shi Nian could only pretend to blow air at the maid who was coming towards him, as if this could scare the other person away.

Lin Jin watched Shi Nian run away with a smile on her face, and then her smile gradually faded: "Lian Yi, I'm a little tired today. Let someone tell the adults that I will have dinner at the Bikong Courtyard."

She didn't really want to deal with anyone else.

After Lin Jin gave the instructions, he immersed himself in his work until night fell.

Lianyi replaced the cold tea and looked at the untouched plate of snacks on the table. She couldn't help but remind him, "Madam, you haven't had dinner yet."

"I'm not hungry yet." Lin Jin didn't even raise his head and continued to make a schedule for the experimental field. "Lianyi, you can rest when you need to. You don't have to stay by my side all the time. I'm fine."

"It's already this late. Even if you're not hungry, it's time to have dinner." Song Shiqiu's voice came from outside the study, and then he appeared at the door.

Song Shiqiu had arrived at the Bikong Courtyard a long time ago, but he didn't disturb Lin Jin because he saw she was busy and focused. He didn't expect that Lin Jin hadn't had dinner yet so late.

"Why are you here?" Lin Jin moved his shoulders. "If you're not hungry, you naturally don't want to eat. It's not like I have to be like you and have to eat at that time."

Lin Jin doesn't like this kind of lifestyle habit of having to do things at certain times, which makes her feel constrained. So after she has the right to decide, the time she eats in the yard depends on her mood.

Song Shiqiu raised his hand to ask for food to be served. Seeing Lin Jin yawning, he said helplessly, "Didn't you say you were a little tired today? Why are you still busy now? Why don't you rest earlier?"

"Yeah, but I just don't have the energy to socialize, not to work. You know, sometimes eating with others is more tiring than concentrating on work." Lin Jin only likes to eat at the same table with relatives and friends. There are occasional exceptions, but she really doesn't like guests visiting like today. "Just think of me as impolite."

"Ouch." Lin Jin's head was hit. "What are you doing?"

Song Shiqiu chuckled: "Why should my wife, Song Shiqiu, accommodate others? If you want, you can even drive them out."

"That's true, but you don't care about these things the most. I'm not afraid that you'll be unhappy." Lin Jin didn't really care about these things at all. She didn't care what people outside said. "Time is really a butcher's knife. Song Shiqiu, you've changed."

"It has never changed." Song Shiqiu pulled her up, "Let's eat first. We've been busy all day, we can't skip a meal."

"Never changed?" Lin Jin looked at him with some suspicion. This man was completely different from the Song Shiqiu she met at the beginning. They were more like twin brothers. "So you are also double-standard. As expected, people's hearts are biased."

Song Shiqiu had already had dinner, so he didn't ask anyone to prepare bowls and chopsticks for him. He just served food to Lin Jin.

Lin Jin: “…”

Don't do this, she's afraid.

"Stop, stop..." Lin Jin held Song Shiqiu's hand. Didn't this person see that the maid who was originally responsible for serving the dishes had a look of despair, "We don't have to do this."

What Song Shiqiu did could really be described as condescending.

Lin Jin couldn't figure it out, so she had to ask him directly: "Can you tell me what happened to you today? Why are you so abnormal?"

Although the behavior doesn't seem to be a big problem, something is very wrong. I can't tell why, just my intuition.

"You seem to be angry again, just because I didn't eat on time?" Lin Jin was really confused this time. Her intuition told her that Song Shiqiu was angry, but she didn't do anything. The only thing was that he didn't eat on time. "But I was sometimes like this when I was very busy before. You shouldn't be angry about this, so what is it about?"

"You're too worried."

"You know whether I am overthinking or you are lying." Lin Jin ate a lion head and squinted happily, "You'd better tell me directly if you have anything. I don't like playing guessing games. It's okay to do it once or twice occasionally. It's not good to do it all the time."

If she doesn't say it directly, she may simply assume that the other person's emotions do not require her to bear or be responsible.

"If it's really something I did that made you unhappy, just tell me directly. If there's a problem, solve it. There's no point in sulking. Or sulking like that where I don't even know what you're mad about." Lin Jin regretted her words as soon as she said them. Wasn't she a little too cold to say that? She softened her tone and said, "What I mean is, I actually care about your emotions. If you don't tell me, I can't guess. Not only will the problem not be solved, it will make you even more unhappy."

Lin Jin blinked: "Do you understand?"

Song Shiqiu put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I understand."

He was actually just mad at himself.

"Then what's wrong with you?" Lin Jin didn't intend to let him go. "You had a gloomy face just now, and it seemed like there was something hidden in your eyes. Did something happen?"

Song Shiqiu still said nothing: "Let's eat."

Lin Jin narrowed his eyes: "Song Shiqiu!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Song Shiqiu asked someone to warm up a pot of wine for him, "It's appropriate to have a small drink today."

Lin Jin raised his hand and brought the cup of wine to himself: "Do you think my nose is a decoration? I don't smell the smell of alcohol on you. You have already drunk today."

If you drink any more it won't be just a drink.

"There's something wrong with you. You don't drink normally. Even if there are guests at home today, why would you drink after they've left?" Lin Jin held the wine in her hand and refused to give it to Song Shiqiu. "I'm starting to suspect that you've been heartbroken if you're like this."

If Song Shiqiu’s partner wasn’t her.

"It's raining today, so it's a good time to have a drink." Song Shiqiu casually found an excuse and took the wine back.

Lin Jin: “…”

How come she hasn't heard that the 24 solar terms are suitable for drinking?

Lin Jin couldn't stop him, so she just let him go. After all, he shouldn't get drunk with just one small cup of wine. "Zhi Ning and I will go to the palace tomorrow. The princess' title has not been decided yet, and Jing An will be there too. What should I call her?"

"Hmm?" Song Shiqiu paused for a moment before remembering that Lin Jin didn't know about these red tapes: "She is older than Jing'an, but Jing'an is now canonized as the eldest princess, so it is not appropriate to call her the rank. When the princess died, she had not yet been officially named, but the word Huai Ya was decided, so she was called Princess Huai Ya."

"Huai Ya?" Lin Jin seemed to be thinking about something. "I understand."

"You may not be able to see her tomorrow." Song Shiqiu rubbed his brows. He originally wanted Lin Jin and Princess Huaiya to have more contact, but he didn't expect that the other party's health was getting worse and worse. The Queen Mother now treasures her like the apple of her eye. She has arranged all the senior palace maids around her to be close to the princess. I'm afraid she will not let outsiders get close to her easily.

"That can't be helped." Lin Jin didn't care much, "It all depends on fate."
