It is indeed a blessing to encounter such an older sister.
It was so when I was young, and it is the same when I grow up.
Lord Zhu saved him, but he had been used for so many years, so he had more than repaid his debt to Lord Zhu.
No matter what, now and in the future, the only person he truly wanted to protect was Shi Xin Xin.
Feng Yu emerged from the Green Flood Dragon and hurried home to inform Shi Xin Xin of the latest news about Lord Zhu.
And the close connection he overheard between Elder Feng and Lord Zhu.
Shi Xin Xin used to be so close to Elder Feng, when did it start to become like this?
...
It was already nine o'clock when Shi Xin Xin finished making breakfast. She called out to Sheng Chen Jin in the living room and received no response. Shi Xin Xin slapped her head, realizing she had forgotten that Sheng Chen Jin might fall back into slumber.
As soon as Sheng Chen Jin heard Shi Xin Xin call his name, his eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
He hadn't been asleep, he was just closing his eyes to savor everything from last night to this morning.
Feeling the lingering softness on his lips, his heart still beat violently upon hearing "Ah Jin" in his dream.
It's over, he's completely fallen in love.
Then, from now on, he will try even harder to give her the best.
He wants to hear Shi Xin Xin willingly say "Ah Jin".
"Sheng Chen Jin, you're not really asleep, are you?"
Shi Xin Xin placed the cooked porridge on the bedside table.
She patted Sheng Chen Jin's face.
She thought Sheng Chen Jin was still asleep, but he unexpectedly grabbed her wrist in return.
His lazy, deep voice sounded.
"Doesn't it hurt your heart to hit my face?"
His eyes were filled with laughter, glittering and reflecting the sunlight streaming in from behind Shi Xin Xin.
Shi Xin Xin was stunned, and for a moment, she forgot to pull her hand away.
Such an expression was familiar, so familiar that Shi Xin Xin wanted to hit someone.
Damn it, Sheng Chen Jin recovered so quickly!
She hadn't even bullied him enough yet!
Seeing the strange expression on the woman's face, Sheng Chen Jin knew she wasn't thinking of anything good.
"What? Isn't bullying me all night enough? You're still thinking of taking advantage."
Sheng Chen Jin looked at her with a playful smirk.
This, this, this... what kind of outrageous words are these?
"Even a saint can't stand this!"
Shi Xin Xin clenched her fist, broke free, and bared her teeth, completely lacking any composure.
"Who bullied you all night? Can't you just speak properly? You know exactly who is taking advantage of whom."
Shi Xin Xin said dismissively, lamenting such ungentlemanly behavior.
Sheng Chen Jin found it both funny and exasperating. How had she twisted "even a saint can't stand this" into that?
However, her level of acting unreasonable was still a bit low compared to his. She could only be bullied obediently.
"How would I know? I can't remember."
Sheng Chen Jin feigned a headache and let out a sigh, looking completely innocent.
His expression seemed to say: "What can you do if I say I can't remember? Go ahead and hit me."
Shi Xin Xin closed her eyes, clenched her fist, and counted to ten in her mind. Fine, why should she argue with him over such childish behavior?
"The food is there, eat it yourself, and then get out quickly. Do you know whose bed you're sleeping in?"
Shi Xin Xin stood with her hands on her hips, looking at him leisurely.
"How cruel, to chase me away so quickly."
He glanced at the decor in the room, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Oh? Your bed? Then I really don't want to leave."
He said, lying down with an expression of enjoyment.
Shi Xin Xin had never felt so speechless in her life. Had Sheng Chen Jin's soul been swapped?
"Sleep then, sleep your fill now. As soon as you get up, I'll change the sheets."
Unexpectedly, Sheng Chen Jin wasn't swayed by this at all.
"I've never smelled bad before."
He continued, secretly despising Shi Xin Xin's coldness in his heart. They had already been intimate, how could she dislike him?
"Even so, it's not good to lie in it all night with the smell of alcohol on you."
Shi Xin Xin also started to lie, pinching her nose with her fingers and speaking in a muffled voice.
Hearing her words, Sheng Chen Jin seemed to understand.
"I remember my tolerance for alcohol isn't so bad that I can't even drink a cup."
His expression was dark. It was impossible that his first time drinking in front of Shi Xin Xin would leave such an impression.
Besides, he knew about Lord Zhu, and he vaguely knew that he had ill intentions towards Shi Xin Xin.
Therefore, the motive for this drink was a bit strange.
As Sheng Chen Jin pondered this, Shi Xin Xin, with a stern face, provided the answer.
"Feng Wuzui, the name of this wine. It doesn't contain any drugs, but special medicinal herbs were added at the beginning of the brewing process. Once people drink it and come into contact with moving air, that is, the wind, it will begin to take effect."
"For ordinary men, it will induce various dreams, while for women, it will combine their dreams with their surroundings, acting like a lie detector. Whatever you ask, they will answer."
Combining Sheng Chen Jin's actions, she could already determine the strangeness of this wine, and even guess Lord Zhu's motives clearly.
"That's quite miraculous."
Shi Xin Xin's face grew solemn as she listened to Sheng Chen Jin's words. It was precisely because it was so miraculous, so familiar to her.
Who would possess something like Feng Wuzui? She knew very well.
Why would that person think she wouldn't recognize such a thing? Wasn't that person afraid of her discovering the conspiracy behind it at all?
Shi Xin Xin didn't understand. Perhaps this was the true beginning of their opposition.
"However, why did you recover in just one night? The normal effect usually lasts within a week."
"I've also never encountered a situation that lasted less than three days."
For others to do this was undoubtedly to take advantage of this period to do something.
How could Sheng Chen Jin not know what Lord Zhu was plotting? Now that things had reached this point, he would be a fool not to guess.
"Since it has come to this, will they still make a move?"
Having mistakenly drunk this wine, would they be hesitant and temporarily cease their actions?
"No, they will think that everything I did was with you as my backing."
Shi Xin Xin looked intently into Sheng Chen Jin's eyes and analyzed calmly.
"Precisely because they underestimated me, they didn't take me too seriously. Even the fire incident in our first encounter was full of flaws."
"Perhaps their target during this period is you."
Shi Xin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sheng Chen Jin was not in a deep sleep now. But even if he were not awake, the Sheng family was not something a mere underground organization could easily deal with.
"He will not give up."
Sheng Chen Jin got up and moved to the edge of the bed, picking up the bowl of porridge with one hand and playing with the spoon in the other.
"Underground organizations, they love to say one thing: 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'"
"They will try their best to join forces to defeat their opponents."
He curled his lips into a dangerous smile, like thorns growing from a rose in the dark night. There was no trace of seriousness or worry in his eyes.
Sheng Chen Jin lowered his head and ate the porridge spoonful by spoonful, as if the dangerous person Shi Xin Xin had seen moments ago was an illusion.
Every fiber of his being, even his hair, exuded laziness.
Shi Xin Xin shrugged. Alright, she was overthinking it. For someone like him, why worry unnecessarily?
"Shen Corporation?" Hearing him mention opponents, Shi Xin Xin thought of the well-founded "rumors" in Yuncheng.
