"master!"

"Hey, it finally stopped. Come on, young master. You go first."

Xiaodong opened the door for Jinnian, and Jinnian didn't stop but climbed up nimbly.

Xiaodong closed the back door and got into the passenger seat.

As soon as he closed the door, he was overwhelmed by the heat in the car. He pulled his collar, poked his head out from the gap, and looked back at Jinnian.

"Young Master, are you hungry?"

"Huh? I'm not hungry, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I still have two sugar cookies here. I bought them outside. I thought you might be hungry, so......"

"Thank you, Xiaodong. I'm not hungry yet."

When Jinnian came back in the morning, Uncle Fu prepared some snacks for him. When he was in the study, he listened to Er Yuehong and Uncle Fu talking, and he unconsciously showed off a lot of things. Now he is very full.

Xiaodong watched Jinnian turn his head to look at the window, and didn't dare to find another topic. He turned around and chatted with the driver when he had nothing to do.

"Master, why are there so few people here today? There's not even a rickshaw driver, let alone a car driver."

"Ah? Little brother, don't you know?"

"What do you know?"

"Recently..." The driver lowered his voice involuntarily and came closer quietly. Xiaodong quickly interrupted him.

"Master! You are so bold to speak, but watch the road! We won't spread it around. Look, our young master is so well behaved. Don't worry, we are keeping our mouths shut."

As Xiaodong spoke, he pointed at Jinnian behind him. Of course, the driver looked in the direction and saw that it was a well-behaved child. He felt a little relieved. Originally, when he heard Xiaodong calling him "young master", he didn't want to say it, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say it.

He wasn't that tight-lipped. He just listened to what others said and wrote it down. Of course, it wasn't anything important. He could just sit at the morning tea stall for a while, maybe someone would start chatting.

Because there have been many outsiders coming recently, the driver saw that both of them spoke Mandarin and didn't suspect Jinnian.

"Master, are you from outside?"

The driver heard the question and was about to say something back when he realized it was not Xiaodong next to him who asked the question, but the quiet young man in the back seat.

He became interested: "Yeah, how did you figure it out? I've been here for more than ten years, and most people can't figure it out."

"Guess, I guess."

Jinnian responded with a smile, his bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. The driver in front of him seemed a little different in his eyes.

When he asked this, the driver really got excited and kept asking him how he was recognized since his accent had become authentic Changsha dialect over the past ten years?

Seeing that he was asking more and more questions and that the young master behind him seemed a little absent-minded, Xiaodong interrupted the driver and asked him to continue talking about what was happening in the city recently.

"Oh, you don't know." The driver sighed and looked at Jinnian with lingering meaning. Seeing him looking at him with squinted eyes, his mood improved and he started muttering to himself while exhaling.

"Recently, do you know about the hairy monster in the alley in the south? It is said that even Adjutant Zhang has come. Also, a lot of people have disappeared in the alley in the south... and they are all girls!"

"Ah? Really? Even Adjutant Zhang has been there. Is it that serious? Is this true?"

"Of course not! It is said that the monster eats people!"

Jinnian tilted his head, leaned forward, and clung to the edge of the seat.

"Have you seen it?"
