I made the villain right.

After Shi Jin saw Zhilu run away, she came back to him. When he saw her coming over, he raised his eyes and looked at her. He was no longer as afraid of her as before, which was a good thing for her.

Shi Jin felt that Fan Hua, who was so tall, would feel uncomfortable hiding in the closet all the time, so she planned to coax him out. She said in a coaxing tone, "Xiao Ayu, the air in there is not good, can we go out?"

But he shook his head in fear: "No, there are a bunch of scary people outside, they will beat me to death"

Watching his reaction and listening to his words, she suddenly fell silent. It seemed that he had a miserable childhood.

At this time, he looked at her doubtfully again and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you my buyer? And Ayu is my new name."

Hearing the word "buyer", Shi Jin's face darkened. This word was usually used in the context of slave trading. It turned out that he, like Gu'er, had been in a slave market. Slave owners always liked to beat and scold slaves and did not treat them as human beings. Ah Yu must have suffered a lot there, so when he saw her holding the whip just now, he showed fear and panic in his stress reaction.

Did she not care about him enough? She had never known these things, and he had never revealed anything to her. Thinking of this, her heart felt as if it was pierced by a needle. Although she pretended to be calm, her eyes still revealed sadness.

Shi Jin felt that ever since she fell in love with Fan Hua, her emotions were easily influenced by him.

Suddenly her eyes felt sore and tears welled up in them. Afraid that he would see them, she tilted her head back slightly and closed her eyes to hold back the tears.

Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, he turned pale and said in a cold and self-pitying voice, "Isn't it?"

But he really hoped that she would buy him, because he didn't want to be locked back in that wooden box. It was so dark in there, as if he was swallowed into an endless abyss. A feeling of fear surged in his heart, and he suppressed the pain and tried not to let himself tremble.

Perhaps he was too eager to be loved by others. When he saw the woman who cared about him, he seemed to have grasped the light and wanted to get closer to her.

He gently pulled her sleeve, looked at her pleadingly, with red eyes: "Then can you buy me...I'm easy to feed, and I'll be very good and obedient."

These words instantly broke Shi Jin's defense. She suddenly crawled into the closet and hugged him tightly, letting her tears fall silently. She choked and said, "Of course not, silly..."

Hearing this, Fan Hua's body froze, and he felt his throat tighten and he felt suffocated...

Until I heard her voice again: "You have never been a slave, and you don't need any buyers. Xiao Ayu, listen to me, you are my husband, Fanhua is you, Ayu is also you, we love each other very much, and we live happily together every day."

She spoke softly, and he listened quietly, as if there was a sense of unreality, which made him unable to believe: "Are you telling the truth? Why don't I remember any of this?"

She rubbed her head gently, her voice as gentle as water: "Because you are sick, you forgot, but it doesn't matter, as long as you recover well, you will always remember it."

He held her quietly without saying a word, and rested his head on her shoulder, with his Adam's apple touching her collarbone. He felt her embrace was very familiar and secure, just as if he had held her like this before. Based on this feeling, he was willing to believe what she said.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought he didn't believe it, so she wiped the tears from her face and said, "If you still don't believe it, I have a way to make you believe it."

Hearing this, he became interested and followed her words and asked, "What method?"

"But we have to get out of the closet first, my legs are numb..." Shi Jin moved his numb legs with a bitter look on his face.

The space in the cabinet was not very large to begin with, and it became even more crowded with her arrival. Her legs felt numb after just a short while, and she didn't know how he could stay there for so long.

Upon hearing this, Fan Hua quickly helped her out of the closet. The numbness in her legs while she moved made her look painful. She stood quietly for a long time, and only dared to move when the numbness disappeared.

Shi Jin took Fan Hua's hand and walked to the bronze mirror. When he looked at his face reflected in the mirror, he stared blankly for a long time. It was the face of an adult, handsome and extraordinary. There was a feeling of both strangeness and familiarity.

At this time, she measured their heights with her hands and said, "You are so much taller than me, which means you are not really nine years old but twenty-one years old. And..."

Thinking of something, she pulled him to the antique display cabinet, took down the lacquer and mother-of-pearl jewelry box, and then opened the box. When his eyes fell on the kingfisher hairpin in the box, his eyes froze and he subconsciously touched the lapel of his chest, only to find that it was empty.

Seeing this, Shi Jin said, "This phoenix hairpin was given to you by your father before he passed away. He said it was related to your life experience. Now you put it in this box and keep it as a treasure."

He had not told anyone about the Phoenix Hairpin, but she knew it so clearly, which meant that he was really his husband as she said, and she was the person closest to him, his wife.

He looked at her steadily, with shining stars burning in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. His smile was as gentle and warm as the breeze, which made people feel uneasy.

He had a miserable and pitiful look just now, but now he suddenly changed. Not only did he smile at her, but his smile was particularly charming, making her unable to take her eyes away and her heart beating wildly.

His smile seemed to be contagious, and before she knew it she started laughing too: "Now you believe it, don't you?"

"Yes," he nodded, and then took the box from her hand. Just when she was wondering what he was going to do, she saw him take out the phoenix hairpin, find a place to put it on her, and said, "You are my wife, so this phoenix hairpin is for you."

At this time, Fan Hua thought that since she was so good to him, he should be even better to her. This was the most precious thing in his life, so he gave it to her.

She had not expected him to do this. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then the corners of her mouth curved up and a smile appeared on her lips, like a bud about to bloom. The next second she stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He was surprised and happy about this sudden kiss, and there was shyness in his eyes.

At this moment, Ran Ke was rushing over at full speed, and just happened to see her kissing him. His eyes widened immediately and he braked in time.

When Fan Hua saw someone suddenly appear, he hid behind Shi Jin in fear. Shi Jin was caught in the act and not only wanted to find a place to bury himself, but was also a little annoyed that he was so impulsive. He was only a nine-year-old child now, and her sudden lust would scare him.

When Ran Ke learned that Fan Hua was in trouble, he ran over quickly. Unexpectedly, he saw the loving scene of the two. He thought it was a better choice to avoid it at this time, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "It seems that there are not many people here. I'll come back later."

After saying that, he was about to leave. As he turned to leave, he heard Shi Jin's threatening voice suddenly sounded: "Just try and see if you dare to leave."

Ran Ke immediately turned around, showing an awkward but polite smile, and said respectfully: "Madam, please tell me if you have anything to say."

At this time, Xu Ruogu and Yunchuan also rushed over. Xu Ruogu was out of breath. He looked at her and asked, "Sister Jin, are you okay?"

Shi Jin smiled at him and said, "I'm fine. You're here just in time. It seems that there's something wrong with Ayu's brain. Not only has he forgotten a lot of things, he's still a nine-year-old child."

As soon as the news came out, everyone's expressions changed and they all looked at Fan Hua.

Fan Hua was originally hiding behind Shi Jin and peeking at her, but suddenly met the gazes of this group of strangers. He instantly moved away, with fear in his eyes. He hid behind her again and again, holding her hand tightly.

Seeing this, Ran Ke's expression tensed: "Why did the Pavilion Master become like this? Let me take a look." After saying that, he wanted to step forward to check Fan Hua's pulse, but Fan Hua dodged him. Fan Hua stared at him vigilantly, like a wild cat with its fur standing on end, and would not let him take a step forward.

Shi Jin quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ayu, they are all your subordinates, people you can trust. They are here to treat you today and will not hurt you."

Seeing this, Ran Ke immediately agreed: "Yes, we won't hurt you, little Ayu."

After the three words "Little A'yu" came out of Ran Ke's mouth, Fan Hua frowned slightly, because he felt that the man in front of him looked smaller than him, but called him "Little A'yu", which he found very strange.

Fan Hua's face darkened, his eyes were sharp, and he whispered: "You are not allowed to call me that"

Fan Hua looked somewhat like he used to be. Ran Ke suddenly became respectful to him: "Yes, Pavilion Master, then please let me feel your pulse."

Fan Hua decisively refused: "No" because he didn't trust anyone here except Shi Jin.

Ran Ke was puzzled for a moment. How come this young Pavilion Master was also a difficult master to serve?

At this moment, Du Xuan came late, supporting Zhilu.

Shi Jin watched Zhilu limping in with the help of Du Xuan, and couldn't help but ask, "How come you hurt yourself after being out for a while?"

Zhilu: "I was just in a hurry and sprained my ankle on the way back. It's no big deal. I'll just apply some medicine and it will heal in a few days."

Fan Hua watched people coming into the house one after another, and his resistance became stronger and stronger. A sense of panic surged in his heart, and he held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to escape from this place.

Du Xuan immediately let go of Zhilu and observed Fanhua's condition. Seeing that he was not in a good state, he turned his gaze to Ran Ke and said, "Ran Ke, what's the situation, Pavilion Master?"

Ran Ke covered his chest with his hands, and said with grievance: "The Pavilion Master didn't let me see it, and I'm not very clear, but I'm so sad."

However, at this time, Shi Jin heard Fan Hua's aggrieved voice behind him: "My wife, I don't like them, can you please let them go..."

She turned around and looked at him, sighed with a smile, and had no choice but to agree with him: "Okay"

Seeing that she agreed, his emotions calmed down.

She looked at everyone with some embarrassment and suggested: "Ayu's condition is a bit complicated. He is more resistant to strangers now. Why don't you go out and wait, and leave Ran Ke and I here."

Du Xuan glanced at Fan Hua and said, "This is the only way." Then he took the others to wait outside the hall.

After seeing that everyone had left, she turned around and took his hands, stared at him and smiled warmly, saying in a gentle tone: "Now that they are all gone, I will let the doctor feel your pulse, okay? This way, we can cure your illness. When you recover, we can do many things."

He turned his eyes, as if thinking, and then whispered: "I can do many things now."

She was helpless. Seeing his cute appearance, she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to touch his head, but she was just about there. When he saw her, he lowered his head and let her touch him, like a dog asking for a head pat. Seeing this, she smiled with a doting look on her face, and then gently rubbed him twice.

It feels so comfortable. Maybe only little Ayu will pat my head.

Shi Jin was thinking, and her eyes caught sight of Ran Ke standing beside her with an eye-catching look on his face. The smile on his face seemed to be a little loose. She could understand his feelings. The Pavilion Master who used to be so majestic and calm and reserved has now turned into such a child. He couldn't accept it for a while.

Shi Jin took his hand back, thought for a moment, threw out the bait and continued to coax him: "Xiao Ayu, if you listen to the doctor's pulse obediently, I will make you a green rice dumpling, okay?"

Shi Jin thought about how Fan Hua had asked her to make this for him before, and he thought that the tastes of Big and Small A Yu should be similar. Sure enough, when he heard that there was green rice dumpling to eat, his eyes lit up.

In the past, his father would make him green rice dumplings every New Year and other festivals. But after his father passed away, he never ate them again. Now that she wanted to make them for him, he was very happy and said obediently, "I'll listen to you, my wife."

When she saw that he finally gave in, she let out a breath, and immediately helped him sit down. She then signaled to Ran Ke with her eyes to act quickly. After receiving the message, Ran Ke immediately stepped forward to feel his pulse. When he saw Ran Ke, he obediently stretched out his hand for him to feel his pulse.
