Fall: Rebirth

At this time, Jin Ran came over carrying her bag. She had changed into casual clothes, and the white skirt was like a blooming lily, making her look very fresh, and the red on the collar was like the rising sun, adding a bit of liveliness to her.

She wore a red wristband on her wrist, which matched the red of the collar. The wristband was also embroidered with delicate patterns, adding a touch of refinement to her overall look.

"Hello, brother." Jin Ran bowed politely to Jin Ming, with no expression on her face, as if she was just completing a necessary task.

"Is everything packed?" Jin Ming looked at Jin Ran in front of him and asked softly, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Yeah." Jin Ran simply responded, then silently walked to Hill's side and sat down.

"You're here!" When Xier saw Jin Ran, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and suddenly a delicate little wooden box appeared in front of Jin Ran.

"What is this?" Jin Ran asked in a flat tone, without revealing any expectation or joy in her eyes.

Hill carefully opened the lid of the wooden box and saw four flower-shaped cakes neatly placed inside. These cakes looked like finely crafted works of art and exuded an alluring aroma.

"This is a pastry I prepared specially for you." Hill introduced it to Jin Ran happily.

However, Jin Ran simply responded: "I don't like sweets." Her voice was calm and firm, and she seemed to have no interest in these pastries.

Ling Han originally stretched his neck out of curiosity to see what was in the box, but when he saw the cakes, he suddenly muttered in annoyance: "No wonder my cakes are gone, I clearly remember that I only ate one piece, and I thought I remembered it wrong." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Xier listened to Ling Han's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, then turned to look at Jin Ran, and said softly: "This is carefully made from a kind of magical grass unique to their peacock tribe. It has special therapeutic effects and is very precious! At the dinner yesterday, each table was only allocated two pieces. Eating it can not only make people feel happy, but also improve their mood. It is tailor-made for people with a bad temper like you."

As soon as Hill finished speaking, Jin Ran's eyes suddenly became extremely cold. She stared at Hill closely, and her eyes were like biting ice, which seemed to be able to freeze a person completely.

At the same time, everyone else present fell silent because of Hill's words, and for a moment the whole scene seemed a little awkward and stiff.

Ling Han thought to himself, Xier is really outspoken and dares to say anything. He was really worried for him.

Jin Ming was also worried about Xi Er. He raised his head and glanced at Jin Ran's frosty expression at the moment, thinking to himself, "Is this guy going to be in trouble this time?"

Jin Peng sneered secretly in his heart, thinking: "Okay, let's see how you guys end this now?"

However, Hill didn't seem to notice Jin Ran's strange look at all. He picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Jin Ran without hesitation, saying with a smile: "Try it, maybe you will like it."

"I said, I don't like sweets." Jin Ran responded coldly, with a barely perceptible hint of anger in her voice.

"Try it!" Hill took the pastry and was about to put it into Jin Ran's mouth.

Jin Ran instinctively shrank back a bit, and asked Xi Er with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you doing?"

Hill's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he replied enthusiastically, "This is really delicious, why don't you try it!"

Jin Ran quickly shook her head and waved her hands to express her refusal, and responded firmly: "I don't want to eat." At the same time, she continued to move backwards, trying to avoid the food that Hill handed over.

Hill did not give up easily. He continued to persuade Jin Ran to try a bite. However, seeing that Jin Ran kept dodging, he still refused to give up. He persisted in passing the cake forward and said, "How about just a small bite?"

Jin Ran once again made it clear that she didn't want to taste it, and repeated in a firm tone: "I said I don't want to eat it, and I don't want to eat it."

However, Hill didn't seem to be planning to give up and still insisted on letting Jin Ran have a taste.

Faced with Hill's persistence, Jin Ran felt a little helpless. While dodging Hill's actions, she added impatiently: "I have my own hands, I can get food by myself."

After hearing Jin Ran's words, Hill immediately stopped what he was doing and quickly stuffed the pastry into his mouth.

Jin Ran looked at Xi'er helplessly. At this moment, a rare smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "Are you really going to stop?"

Jin Ming, who was sitting nearby, witnessed the whole process and was stunned. He had thought that Jin Ran would lose her temper, but he never expected that she would not only not lose her temper, but also show such a rare smile.

"I don't think I need to eat the cakes anymore. I'm already amused by your silly look." Ling Han muttered softly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was also amused by Xi'er's appearance.

Xi Er completely ignored Ling Han's words. He chewed the cake in his hand while staring at Jin Ran, mumbling, "Eat quickly!"

Jin Ran couldn't do anything to Xi'er. She hesitated for a moment, slowly picked up a piece of cake from the wooden box, and carefully brought it to her mouth.

As the pastry melted in her mouth, a rich sweetness instantly spread. Her originally tense nerves slowly relaxed like spring flowers. She couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on her face, like the sunshine in winter, warm and soft.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Hill looked at Jin Ran seriously, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Jin Ran slightly opened her red lips and responded softly, "Hmm." Then she continued to take the second bite. The sweet taste made her feel even happier.

Hill was filled with satisfaction when he saw Jin Ran's happy face. He felt that he had done something very meaningful, and that it was all worth it to make Jin Ran so happy.

Jin Ming sat aside, watching the scene silently. He saw Jin Ran's happy smile, and he was secretly happy. His eyes fell on Xi'er involuntarily, thinking: This guy is really good, he can actually make Jin Ran happy.

Jin Peng looked at the scene in front of her, her heart filled with rage. She couldn't help but say sarcastically, "It seems that this pastry is just as the young master said. It can make even a hot-tempered person like my sister feel better and smile!" As she spoke, she had a smile on her face, looking harmless.

After hearing Jin Peng's words, Ling Han's eyes involuntarily moved towards Jin Peng, and he thought to himself, "What a black-hearted person! She is much more sinister and cunning than the Hai family! The Hai family would at least show disrespect openly, but they would never play tricks and schemes in secret like she does."

After Jin Ran swallowed the pastry in her hand in one gulp, she gently patted off the remaining residue on her hands, then closed the lid of the small wooden box and held it in her hand.

She knew very well that Jin Peng was just trying to anger her, so she slowly stood up with a faint smile on her face and said softly to Jin Peng: "You should leave your sarcastic words to your brother! He likes this trick."

Jin Ming, who was about to pick up the teacup to drink tea, was suddenly startled by Jin Ran's words. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Jin Ran.

Jin Ran looked at Jin Ming's bewildered expression, and couldn't help but smile. Then she turned around and said, "Goodbye!"

Hill hurriedly picked up Jin Ran's luggage and said, "Chief, we'll go ahead." As soon as he finished speaking, he took small steps and followed Jin Ran's departing figure closely.

Ling Han also slowly stood up and bowed to Jin Ming: "Patriarch, I bid you farewell."

Jin Ming slowly turned his head, raised his eyes and stared at Ling Han, and said slowly: "Be careful."

Looking at the figures of the people walking away, Jin Ming gently shook the teacup in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then continued to leisurely taste the fragrant tea.

Jin Peng watched Jin Ran leave happily, her heart burning with anger, but because Jin Ming was present, she dared not show it at all.

"Peng'er, you must work harder in the future and strive to shine in the next disciple selection in the God Realm. Look at how Ran'er, with such a temper, can still make a few good friends. I believe that with Peng'er's considerate temperament, he will definitely be able to make more like-minded friends after he goes there." Jin Ming looked at Jin Peng's back, raised his eyebrows, and said in a joking tone. It seems that he has already understood Jin Peng's weird style.

Jin Peng's face was originally full of anger, but after hearing Jin Ming's words, her expression changed instantly. She turned around, looked at Jin Ming with a smile, and responded in a tender voice: "Brother is right. Peng'er will practice hard in the future and will never let you down." Then, she sat down slowly and took a sip of tea, as if she wanted to extinguish the countless anger burning in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it easily.
