Jinnian looked like he was frightened. The boy in front of Jinnian, no, that figure could no longer be called a boy, he should be called a young man.

The young man's fingertips covered with thin calluses stroked Jinnian's eyebrows and eyes. His deep black eyes looked at him quietly. In that instant, the blood color in his eyes surged, swallowing up his cold pupils, and then disappeared completely as Jinnian retreated.

There were many beauties with beautiful appearances, but those clear, dark eyes looked up at him as always, and he couldn't help but wonder if things would have been different if he hadn't lost her.

Jinnian didn't dare to say a word. His lower lip was bitten to a dark color. He didn't know whether the person on the other side recognized him or not. He was scared to death.

Whenever I think of being trapped in that pure white world that was like a cage, I feel uneasy. How can it compare to the colorful and green outside world?

Jinnian lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone, but his hands, which were holding onto the table, tensed up, his fingertips turning white from the force.

The person in front of him was silent for a long time before he gently let go of his hand.

The sound as gentle as a stream floated into Jinnian's ears, like a feather, making his heart itchy.

"It's ok."

Jinnian looked up and became unsure again. When they were young, the boy always hugged him and kissed him from time to time, but after too long, he only looked at those eyes.

Now that the person in front of him was silent, he was no longer sure.

Seeing Jinnian's conflicted look, the young man in front of him walked away, leaving behind only his tall back.

Jinnian puffed out his lips and stared at the person. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

As if he had guessed what Jinnian was thinking, the young man twisted his fingertips, and the soft touch seemed to still remain on them.

Don’t worry, what’s his will always be his.

Rather than catching him back, a method that would scare the child to tears, he would rather see Jinnian willingly return to his cage - a cage designed specifically for Jinnian.

Jinnian lowered his eyes, his little face wrinkled. If he had known earlier, he would have gone back. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wuwuwu... I will never run around again!"

After he put the things at the door, the maid next to him looked at him puzzledly.

"I, I delivered it for someone else."

The maid cursed the boy in her heart. Just looking at his appearance and the clothes, she knew he was not a simple person. How dare that brat let others send him?! He was really not afraid of being fired.

"Thank you. Here are some things. Please accept them."

The maid cursed in her heart and had to come out with the prepared snacks, not knowing whether she could make amends.

She just touched Jinnian's heart. Jinnian held the delicious fondant handed to him by the maid, and the depressed mood that had frightened him just now disappeared in an instant.

"You're welcome, thank you!"

Jinnian took the little rabbit fondant, and the maid's heart was bleeding. I just bought it, little donkey, you have to compensate me with a hundred of them!

The maid felt relaxed when she saw Jinnian, whose smile was clearly written on his face.

I don’t know whose little master he is, but he looks like a porcelain doll. She wants to take him home and raise him.

The maid took the case, entered the box, lowered herself respectfully, and laid out the things.

When the people inside came out, she didn't even dare to look at them. She put her things away and stepped aside.

"what is that."

The maid was still in a daze.

A male voice nearby answered for her.

"Fondant is a folk food."

The young man loosened the ring on his hand, and his slender knuckles touched the Buddhist beads. The depression that had always lingered between his brows dissipated, his terrifying look disappeared, and the breath of joy seemed to turn into reality.

"I like sweets."

He noted it down.

By the time Jinnian came back after turning left and right for who knows how long, the flowers that Qi Tiezui had been waiting for in the toilet had all wilted.

"Ancestor!"

"You still know how to come back!"

"You just left me here and ran away alone!"

"Wow, wow, wow, do you know how anxious I am...?"

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you??!"

Jinnian was carrying a small bag, with her head down, not daring to look at him, and only dared to tug at his sleeve.

"Eighth Master, Eighth Master......."

"I was wrong!"

Qi Tiezui wiped away the non-existent tears and patted his face: "Has the stuff been delivered?"

Jinnian nodded, and Qi Tiezui leaned over curiously: "How is it? Who is it for? The servant said that a new private room was added?"

"It's number one. We are number six. I saw it when I went up."

"That's great. You can take us there later. Do you know who it is? I haven't heard that there are any other important people coming."

"He is a respected figure at the Crescent Hotel. I really want to meet him."

Jinnian suddenly looked up, struggling over whether or not to tell Qi Tiezui what had just happened.

Qi Tiezui didn't know that he had been to the research institute before coming to Changsha.

"Eighth Master............."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Qi Tiezui was leading Jinnian forward to see where the Buddha had gone, so as to prevent the little fool from running around again.

"Room No. 1."

"Room One? What's wrong? Is that where you just went?"

"Yes! I met a very strange person on the road. He was wearing a mask. I felt like we had met before."

Qi Tiezui raised his eyebrows: "There are quite a lot of people wearing masks......"

Perhaps to increase the sense of mystery, there were quite a few people wearing masks in the Crescent Hotel. Not to mention the guests who came from afar, even the servants wore masks.

If Jinnian really wants to find someone who looks familiar to him, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Well, how about this, you stay with Master Ba and when you see someone familiar, Master Ba will check for you, how do you think?"

"Okay."

After being frightened, Jinnian learned his lesson and followed Qi Tiezui obediently. Even when Xiaolan, the maid of Yin Xinyue, came to call him over, he refused.

Seeing that he was not going, Xiaolan had no choice but to do as Yin Xinyue said and send him some food.

"Hiss... Master Buddha hasn't come back yet?"

The two of them had nothing to do, and as they had important things to do, they did not stay downstairs for long and went to their seats early.

Looking down from the railing of the private room, the entire auction hall was in sight. Qi Tiezui pretended to look through a small telescope for a long time, but he did not see Zhang Qishan.

They were number six, and their position on the second floor was right opposite number one. Qi Tiezui was bored, so he looked over there and was shocked when he saw what he saw.

"Why, only number one has a screen?"

Behind the emerald green jewel screen, almost nothing can be seen.

"Why, a curtain isn't enough?"

They are called curtains, but in fact they are just some small pendants made of gold with tassels at the bottom. They are pretty, but they have no hidden function at all.

Jinnian sat cross-legged on a higher stool with a futon mat on it, and her long legs were wrapped in tights.

He changed into a pair of slippers, which hung on his toes, swinging back and forth, and seemed unable to fall off.

There were a lot of fruits on the rectangular table. Jinnian was eating the pastries in his hands crosswise.

Jinnian forked one and gave it to Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui took it, crunched it into his mouth, and mumbled something inaudible.

"You know what, it's quite particular."

Qi Tiezui threw away his slippers, thinking that it was pointless to wear them or not, because there was a large area of ​​furry carpet under his feet, which looked like it was carefully arranged with a lot of effort.

"It's worthy of being treated as a VIP!"

Jinnian squinted his eyes. The fruits were big and sweet. He simply took off his slippers, wearing only a pair of thin socks, stepped to the railing and looked down.

I don’t know if there is anyone at Number One, but there is definitely no one elsewhere, so I don’t have to worry about being seen.

There was a lot of drinking and chatting below, and most people were still socializing before the auction started, trying to expand their network.

Only Jinnian and Qi Tiezui came up and started eating. Xiaolan received the order and sent up the cakes and snacks plate by plate, even squeezing out the space where the flowers were originally placed.

She huddled on the ground with the vase, looking aggrieved.

“Isn’t this the flower from last night?”

The goose yellow flowers look particularly beautiful in the turquoise vase. I don’t know if they are a little wilted because they haven’t been watered.

Jinnian was in a good mood, so when no one was around, she went up and touched it. An invisible light covered the petals and opened them directly. They were so beautiful that they looked as if they had just been nourished by rain and sunshine.

"puff!"

Qi Tiezui sprayed all the tea that he had just drunk onto the table.

Jinnian looked at him with disdain and went to the other side holding her little vase.

"Master Ba, what are you doing?"

"I just wanted to ask you something! My goodness, you better give up your magical power right away, aren't you afraid of being captured?"

"But there's no one around!"

"That won't work either. Be obedient! I don't want to see you being stabbed all over with needle holes."

Qi Tiezui's words touched Jinnian's heart. When he was in the research institute, he was indeed pricked every day and it was very painful.

When I thought about what happened before, Jinnian was no different from the flower just now, wilted and didn't even want to eat fruits and snacks. She sat by the window depressed.

Qi Tiezui felt stuffy, so he opened the window for him.

"I'm afraid you'll be seen."

"I know, Master Ba is doing this for my own good."

Jinnian increasingly disliked the feeling of being restrained. If he were in the Hong Mansion, he would not have to worry about being discovered if he moved aside dozens of pots.

It started to drizzle outside, hitting the window frame like a naughty child trying to come in.

Jinnian turned his back to Qi Tiezui and waved his hands. The rain seemed to come alive, sticking to his hands and jumping up and down as Jinnian waved his hands.

"Wow!"

Jinnian cried out softly, never having thought that it was possible to play like this.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hands, and more rain fell.

As if following his thoughts, the rain got heavier and heavier, hitting the windows and making them rattle.

Qi Tiezui took a look and saw him playing in the water. He took a handkerchief and put it in front of him. He ignored him and went to study the brochure. The auction brochure had been prepared long ago, so there would most likely be no mistakes.

The salty and fishy rain was suddenly entangled by a cool and elegant floral scent mixed with the sweet and sour aroma of raspberries. The smell was very weak, just a sparse trace. Jinnian suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with surprise. His little nose moved, and he tilted his head slightly. Sure enough, he saw clusters of roses above the window.

There are fruits on the big tree next to it, and I'm afraid the sweet fragrance comes from it.

It was raining heavily, but there was always that small pile in front of Jinnian, as if it wanted to monopolize him and not let others get close.

The cool water droplets even touched Jinnian's face, and the coolness was like a natural cooler, instantly calming the heat in his heart.

Looking from the opposite side, it must be a picture of a beauty.

The light coming from the hall shone on Jinnian, making his fair skin look even more charming, and every move he made was attractive.

Her lips were plump and pink, her long white hair fell softly to one side, her outer dress had slipped down a little, her small and tall nose was close to the flower buds outside that were trying to come in, her exposed eyes were sparkling with love for everything.
