I made the villain right.

In the early morning, the morning light pierces through the mist. People are coming and going on the street. A few children are playing in the crowd, and the sounds of chasing and fighting echo in the street.

There were several steamers that had just come out of the pot on a stall. When the stall owner opened the steamers, wisps of smoke came out, reflecting colorful halos in the morning light. The fragrance of the buns lured the playful children to stop and watch.

The girl with two pigtails looked at the soft and glutinous buns with envy and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. However, she had no money, and when she turned to leave, she suddenly bumped into someone.

Li Muci looked down and saw the cute little girl, so he bent down and rubbed the little girl's head. Just now, he was standing not far away and saw the little girl looking at the buns greedily, so he asked, "Do you want to eat?"

When the little girl heard this, she smiled and nodded happily, "I want to."

Seeing this good thing, the other children came to Li Muci and shouted, "I want to eat too, I want to eat too..."

Li Muci smiled when he heard that, "Okay, everyone has some." Then he stood up and said to the stall owner, "Boss, I've bought all your buns. Give them as many as they want."

The stall owner saw that there was a big business coming and smiled, "Okay!"

After the stall owner opened the steamer, the children swarmed over and wanted to grab the buns with their hands but were stopped by the stall owner. He asked them to line up and then packed the buns one by one and distributed them to them. Each of them left with two bags in their hands and they were very happy.

After they left, Li Muci took out five taels of silver and handed it to the stall owner, "No need to change the rest, give me ten more buns."

Seeing Li Muci being so generous, the stall owner kept smiling.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." After taking the silver, the stall owner quickly packed the buns and handed them to Li Muci, "Sir, take care."

Li Muci carried a bag of buns and walked towards the private residence.

As soon as Li Muci walked into the gate of the mansion, he ran into Du Xuan who was about to go out. Du Xuan greeted him and was about to leave, but was stopped.

"Du Xuan, where are you going so early in the morning?"

"I'm going out to do some errands"

Li Muci's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and then he raised the bag of buns in his hand and said, "I bought some buns, why don't you take a few on the way?"

"I have already had breakfast. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Du Xuan said and disappeared in a flash.

Li Muci looked at the bun in his hand in a daze and couldn't help muttering: "What's the hurry?"

Li Muci walked to the backyard and saw Shi Jin and Fan Hua sitting on a stone bench by the river pond basking in the sun from a distance.

Shi Jin was chewing an apple with a peaceful look on his face, while Fan Hua was holding a book with a focused gaze. He would stay for a moment when he saw something interesting, as if he was thinking about something.

The comfortable and warm scene was like a painting, but when Li Muci saw this scene, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable and had to go over to destroy the tranquility.

Li Muci quietly came behind them and made a coughing sound, trying to scare the two of them.

Fan Hua remained unmoved and continued to read his book, but Shi Jin was startled by the sudden noise and the half-eaten apple in his hand fell to the ground.

She looked at the apple that fell to the ground with regret, turned around and saw that it was Li Muci, and hurriedly asked: "When did you come? Why are you walking so quietly?"

Li Muci's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, his eyes full of resentment, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "You two are living a life like a couple in heaven, which is really enviable. It's a pity that Du Xuan has to go out to do things so early in the morning."

Shi Jin heard the sarcasm in Li Muci's voice, looked at him in confusion, and forced a smile and said: "Did you eat something dirty this morning? You are talking weirdly. Do you need me to punch you a few times and make you vomit?"

Li Muci couldn't hold back when he heard that, and immediately smiled, "No, I had buns for breakfast." Then he put a bag of buns in front of Shi Jin and said in a flattering tone, "I brought some for you."

Shi Jin smiled and said, "That's thoughtful," and picked up a bun and started eating.

Seeing that Fan Hua was still motionless, Li Muci was puzzled. What book was he reading so seriously? So he asked quickly, "Nerd, you're here to eat buns. What book are you reading so seriously?"

In the past, Li Muci often called Fan Hua someone, but now he called him nerd. When Shi Jin saw that Li Muci was so cold and gave Fan Hua a new nickname, the image of Fan Hua and nerd overlapping emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

Fan Hua closed the book, looked up at Li Muci and said, "Noisy!"

Li Muci glanced at the book in Fan Hua's hand, and saw the word "Formation" on the cover, which immediately aroused his curiosity.

"Show me what book you've read." Li Muci said, and reached out to take it, but Fan Hua quickly dodged him. He looked at Li Muci warily and spoke with a bit of boasting in his tone, "This book is not to be circulated to outsiders, you are not qualified to read it." After saying that, he raised his hand and changed the direction of the book, fearing that Li Muci would snatch it away.

This book is the Shi Family Formation that Shi Jin gave him. It is indeed not allowed to be read by outsiders, but Li Muci did not know this. When he saw Fan Hua said that he was not qualified to read it, he was immediately unhappy and snorted coldly, "Is there any book that I can't read?"

Li Muci was unwilling to give up and tried to snatch the book again. He tried to grab it and he dodged it. The two of them enjoyed going back and forth. Shi Jin looked at their childish behavior, shook his head and sighed.

In the end, Li Muci was defeated and Fan Hua put the book in his arms.

Seeing that the two had stopped making noise, Shi Jin took out a bun and handed it to Fan Hua: "This bun tastes good, you can try it too."

Fan Hua smiled, took the bun from her hand and started eating.

Seeing that the two were eating with gusto, Li Muci picked up a bun and started eating too. After a while, he remembered something and could not eat anymore.

Li Muci looked at them with disdainful expressions and couldn't help but complain: "You two just stay here and eat and drink for free every day. You always order Du Xuan to run around for you and exploit his subordinates. Do you have any humanity left?"

Fan Hua didn't hear it. When he saw Li Muci scolding them for being inhumane, he glanced at Li Muci with a hint of coldness.

Shi Jin heard the teasing, but his face was not angry. He said helplessly: "This is also forced by the situation. There are only three of us left in Kyoto. It would be too ostentatious for A Yu and I to go out with such a face that would alarm the whole of Kyoto. It is inconvenient to move, so I can only trouble Du Xuan."

She and A Yu were wanted by the whole city, which alarmed the whole Kyoto.

Shi Jin was thinking, but didn't notice that Fan Hua's eyes suddenly dimmed. Her casual words reminded him of the tragic sacrifice of everyone in Fengyun Pavilion that day.

Li Muci curled his lips when he heard this and muttered quietly, "That sounds nice, but it's just that I'm wanted by the whole city, what's the big deal?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin gave Li Muci a stabbing look and said, "Why are you here so early in the morning? Are you here to piss us off?"

"Of course I came here for business, and I want to annoy you at the same time, so that you won't feel bored staying in this yard all day."

Shi Jin looked at Li Muci's mean look and really wanted to beat him up, but he endured it when he thought of how he had taken care of them during this period of time.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you so annoying again?" Shi Jin said gritting his teeth.

Li Muci wanted to say something, but Fan Hua didn't seem to have the time to listen to Li Muci's nonsense and urged him directly, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on."

Hearing this, Li Muci finally became serious. Shi Jin rarely saw Li Muci so serious, so he listened to him attentively.

"Someone has been trying to find out about our relationship recently. I think they are going to make some moves. How are you preparing?"

Li Muci didn't say it explicitly, but Fan Hua understood what he meant. "There's no problem here. They should be keeping an eye on the Hou Mansion recently, so you'd better not come here recently."

"clear"

Shi Jin was completely confused by what they said.

What about that side and that side? What code words were they talking about behind her back?

Shi Jin stared at the two of them with a burning gaze, his eyes mixed with a bit of inquiry and intrigue, "You two have such a good relationship, but you still speak in a coded manner. Are you on guard against me?"

"No," Fan Hua and Li Muci said in unison.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and then simultaneously turned their gazes to Shi Jin.

Li Muci said: "Don't blame me. I thought you knew about this a long time ago, but I didn't expect that the person next to you didn't tell you." After saying that, he glanced at Fan Hua deliberately, with a hint of meaning.

After pointing the finger at Fan Hua, Shi Jin's gaze also turned to him. She was not angry but did not speak either. She just looked at Fan Hua with a smile, hoping that he could talk to her about this matter properly.

Fan Hua mistakenly thought that Shi Jin was angry. Looking at her charming smile, he felt that it was lethal. He hurriedly explained, "Mian Mian, don't misunderstand, I..."

Shi Jin was not angry to begin with, so he did not care about any explanation and asked impatiently, "So what are you planning?"

Fan Hua was suddenly interrupted. Seeing Shi Jin's impatient look, he didn't hesitate and quickly told her: "This is a long story. It has to start from the day you were unconscious. After you were injured, I borrowed their thunder bomb to save people..."

Fanhua told her in detail what had happened and their plans.

Shi Jin nodded and praised: "This plan is very clever, it's a very unconventional one."

Li Muci stayed here for a while and was about to go back. Knowing that the two of them couldn't go out and hang out, he deliberately showed off in front of them before leaving, "I heard that the night market tonight is very lively, it's a pity that you can't see it."

He turned around and walked away, not even hearing Shi Jin say behind him, "Who said we can't see? We have a secret weapon."

After saying that, Shi Jin showed off his human skin mask and said in high spirits: "Ayu, we haven't been out for a long time. Let's go out and have a look tonight."

"okay"

Shi Jin was looking forward to the arrival of the night. He could not help but look at the human skin mask in his hand. A smile like fireworks appeared on the corner of his mouth, dazzling and eye-catching.

Seeing her smile that could pull people down, his thin lips slightly raised, and his ink-black eyes seemed to be able to drown water, and his devout love was hidden in them.

He liked to see her smile, and hoped that she would always be this happy.
