Tuanzi hadn’t realized the severity of the problem yet.
Seeing that Sixth Senior Brother was no longer running outside and the newly t cousin was visiting, she happily took them back ho together.
Once ho, East Gate West imdiately slipped back into his room, not daring to show his face again.
Ji Zhangzhuo, who was peeking around, caught a glimpse of East Gate West’s expression and imdiately followed behind him with hands behind his back.
With no outsiders around, Jin Shilin adjusted his glasses and seriously emphasized, "He appeared suddenly."
"Oh, appeared suddenly."
Tuanzi nodded without much thought.
"Miaomiao can also appear suddenly, you know."
With a flash, she flew behind Jin Shilin, even resting her little head on Jin Shilin’s shoulder, rubbing it back and forth.
"Ah, Cousin, you have no at on your shoulders."
Displeased, she withdrew her head and with another flash stood in front of Jin Shilin, unabashedly raising her chin, "Miaomiao can do it too!"
The spot rubbed by her chubby chin felt sowhat warm.
Jin Shilin resisted patting it.
Noticing her cousin’s casual attitude, several possibilities flashed through his mind.
"Just like teleportation in TV dramas," Jin Shilin emphasized, "a sudden appearance, that resident was looking down at their phone, but that dog and I saw it."
Her dark shiny eyes widened.
Jin Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, it seed like his cousin finally understood. He didn’t want to be too blunt.
"Ah, Cousin, it turns out you watch dramas too!"
Tuanzi’s focus completely shifted.
She tilted her head curiously, even in this position Jin Shilin gave off a sense of being proper and self-disciplined in her view.
"Miaomiao thought you were either working every day or buried in thick books."
Jin Shilin: "..." He really shouldn’t have discussed this with a child.
Looking up, he saw the white-haired, golden-eyed man had sohow gotten hold of a watering can and was watering the flowers.
The sunlight lingered on that satin-like white hair, and the golden-eyed man seed to radiate a divine glow, not quite like a person from this world, and neither soone you would expect to be in charge.
Jin Shilin scanned the area and noticed a young man with tanned skin squatting on the steps, seriously eating ice cream, giving off the impression that disturbing him would be very impolite.
He also gave up trying to converse with this person.
He didn’t see any other senior brothers, which led him to ponder if there really was anyone reliable in this household.
Though the reliable people were absent, the reliable system was still there.
The system, having heard Jin Shilin emphasize ’appeared suddenly’ several tis, instantly sensed sothing ominous.
Ancient Martial System: Your cousin didn’t happen to see Sixth Senior Brother appear suddenly, did he?
Miaomiao: The Senior Brother did appear suddenly.
Ancient Martial System: No, I an suddenly appearing after particle transformation, not your kind of ’whoosh’ appearance. You fly around the neighborhood often, and the cats and dogs aren’t even startled.
Tuanzi realized, her mouth wide open, looking at Jin Shilin in astonishnt.
Jin Shilin lowered his gaze slightly, "Hmm?"
"Ah, well, Cousin, it’s just that Sixth Senior Brother’s Qinggong is really good."
Tuanzi hurriedly tried to make ands, her little paws waving incessantly.
The system felt like covering its eyes.
Ancient Martial System: Miaomiao, stop explaining, the more you explain, the more suspicious it seems.
It regretted reminding its host.
Remaining calm like the breeze was much better earlier, but now the more they tried to explain, the ssier it got, and with Jin Shilin’s intelligence, he’s likely even more suspicious.
Jin Shilin looked steadily at the panicked Tuanzi, repeating her words with little sincerity, "Qinggong is really good."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Tuanzi kept nodding her little head, afraid that Jin Shilin would suspect more, hurriedly ushering him inside.
"Cousin, you’re already here, stay for dinner."
She reached out willingly to take the paper bag from Jin Shilin’s hand, even smilingly saying, "Are you delivering takeout again, Cousin?"
Opening it up, it was pastries from a well-known brand in Jiang City, not the confectionery made by Wen Qi.
She was also very satisfied, bouncing into the kitchen, plating them and pouring a few glasses of iced lemon water.
Ancient Martial System: It’s not very good to drink iced beverages in this weather, is it?
Miaomiao: What are you saying? In Jiang City, you have to drink sothing iced in August and September.
Ancient Martial System: Well then, let be straightforward, you shouldn’t drink iced things.
Tuanzi went silent, carrying the platter out as if she had suddenly lost contact with the system.
Ancient Martial System: You can definitely hear .
Tuanzi pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Jin Shilin was t by a sowhat sulky cousin.
"What’s wrong?"
As soon as he spoke, he saw a layer of condensation on the outside of the glass.
"Iced? You shouldn’t have ice."
Tuanzi: "... Then I’ll let it sit for a while."
Jin Shilin nodded, but as soon as the phone rang, when he pulled it out, out of the corner of his eye he saw a small chubby paw inching toward the iced lemon tea.
"Ahem, ahem!"
He coughed loudly, not turning around, and out of the corner of his eye saw the paw tremble in fright and quickly retract.
Seeing he didn’t turn around, shortly after the paw quietly approached the glass again.
Jin Shilin coughed a few more tis.
"Cousin, did you catch a cold?"
Tuanzi gave up trying to sneak the iced lemon tea, leaning in to look at his face, "You look like you haven’t had enough rest, not like you’ve caught a cold. And also..."
The little girl pointed with her chin.
"Your phone has been ringing nonstop, if you ignore it, it will be sad."
Jin Shilin quickly answered the call.
After a brief conversation, he hung up, but appeared sowhat distracted.
He was the type to quickly enter work mode when work was served to him on a plate. Just now, knowing it was a work-related call, his attention was continuously drawn to his cousin.
This was a novel experience for him; typically, he would feel agitated and remind himself not to make similar mistakes again. But just thinking about the previous scene, that sneaky little paw, brought a sense of joy to his heart.
It was a mont that, every ti recalled, was heartwarming.
It’s a treasured mory.
As he was pondering, a fluffy head popped into view.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that while he was in a daze, Tuanzi had climbed onto the sofa on his side, looking at him worriedly with her head tilted.
"Is it troubleso work? Cousin, you look so troubled. Isn’t cousin supposed to be all-capable in work?"
She hadn’t interacted with this cousin much, but Jin Shilin gave her that impression. This cousin surely must be a very capable person.
"There’s no such thing as being all-capable."
Jin Shilin didn’t reject the paw tapping on his forehead, he said earnestly, "I also have things I’m not good at."
"Oh, oh, nobody’s perfect?"
Tuanzi murmured, "Master always says that. Every ti he says that, he follows up with, he’s the exception, he’s the most perfect person. Humph, Miaomiao is also very perfect, Miaomiao will be more perfect than Master soday!"
Sounds like this Master is quite narcissistic!
Jin Shilin grew curious about this unknown person.
"Since your senior brothers are coming down from the mountain one after another, will your Master co down too?"
