"That's for sure,"
"Then, she didn't lie to Mu Shazi?" Feng Qishi stared into the eyes of the fake Lin Yan.
The fake Lin Yan: "This, I can't judge randomly, but come," he frowned, "Master, why do you think she's a monster?"
Hearing this from the fake Lin Yan, Feng Qishi pondered, "In short, stay away from her in the future, don't chat so freely."
"I think she's a good person."
"Don't be too naive," Feng Qishi reached out and patted the fake Lin Yan's shoulder, asking, "Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"Good that you're not hungry," Feng Qishi turned his back.
"Master, are you going out?"
"No, I want to rest for a while. You should rest too, you drank quite a bit tonight."
"Okay," the fake Lin Yan nodded and lay down.
Feng Qishi sighed, starting to worry about Mu Anxiao's safety, but then, thinking of Mu Anxiao's attitude towards him just now, he abandoned that thought.
On the street.
Mu Anxiao bought two flatbreads, then broke one in half and handed half to Xie Xin, "Here."
Xie Xin took the flatbread, then looked at the flatbread in Mu Anxiao's hand. She asked, "Why only give me half?"
"Look how thin you are, your appetite must be small," Mu Anxiao took a bite of the flatbread.
Xie Xin pouted, "You tease."
"Tease? Because you lied to me."
Hearing this, Xie Xin frowned, "Didn't you believe me?"
"I believe you are..." Mu Anxiao glanced deliberately at the old woman selling flatbreads, pulled Xie Xin a few steps aside, and said, "Why did you lie to me? You have a hundred taels."
"I really have a hundred taels, but..." Xie Xin's eyes darted, "It's at home."
"Then why did you say your hundred taels were on you? Are you making me up?"
Xie Xin took a bite of the flatbread, "I was wrong."
"You admit your mistake and still eat."
"I'm truly sorry," Xie Xin lowered her head.
"Alright, price increase."
"Huh?"
"Fifty taels."
"Why?"
"Think about it yourself, your three meals a day, I have to cover, right?"
"Mhm."
"Your accommodation, I have to manage too, right?"
"Mhm."
"Then it makes sense. If I have to manage all this for you, naturally, if I don't increase the price, I'll be at a loss."
"You're right."
Mu Anxiao waited for Xie Xin's reply, then handed her the other half of the flatbread, "Eat."
"Thank you," Xie Xin nodded, took the flatbread, and began to chew.
Mu Anxiao "..." She ate the flatbread while turning to look around.
Xie Xin looked at Mu Anxiao's back and breathed a sigh of relief, "..."
Immediately, Mu Anxiao's gaze locked onto the newly opened wonton stall ahead, "Want to eat?"
Hearing this, Xie Xin quickly raised her head, followed Mu Anxiao's gaze to the wonton stall, stepped forward, and said excitedly, "Yes."
"..." Mu Anxiao glanced at Xie Xin and walked towards it.
Minutes later.
Mu Anxiao and Xie Xin sat facing each other at a table.
Xie Xin glanced at the old man working, then looked at Mu Anxiao, "I know Lin Yan."
"What did you say?" Mu Anxiao was startled.
Xie Xin: "I, I know Lin Yan."
"You know him?"
"Mhm, he passed through our town before, and at that time, my family hosted him."
"Really?"
"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get along with him."
"Do your parents know each other?"
"Not exactly."
"Not exactly, you know him?"
"Mhm, I remember that time, we were eating at home, and suddenly we heard voices outside the door. My father, thinking about the weather outside, kindly invited them into our home. It was the first time my family hosted a stranger, so we were very happy, and that's how I met Lin Yan."
"It was just a single meeting, and at that time, you could still recognize him?"
"Mhm, maybe it's fate," Xie Xin looked up at the old man who was bending down to place the wontons, and then said, "Thank you."
The old man glanced at Xie Xin and got up to leave.
Mu Anxiao: "Your memory is really good."
"It wasn't me who recognized him, it was he who recognized me."
"He recognized you?" Mu Anxiao repeated, thinking, how could that imposter know Lin Yan's past?
Thinking this, she looked up at the old man, "Thank you."
The old man put down the wontons, "I know you."
"You know me?"
"Yes, you went for drinks earlier too, your capacity for alcohol is indeed not bad."
"I think it's alright," Mu Anxiao glanced around, "By the way, why did you decide to set up your stall?" She looked at the only flatbread stall.
"Ran out of money," the old man casually replied and walked away.
Mu Anxiao "..." She looked at the old man who was being perfunctory, then lowered her head. Just as she was about to pick up her spoon, she felt something was wrong, "Don't eat," she looked at Xie Xin opposite her, who was scooping up soup with a spoon.
Xie Xin was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Immediately, Mu Anxiao stood up, turned towards the old man's stall, "You're not human, are you?"
The old man tilted his face, "Whether I'm human or not, you should be able to tell."
"You..." Mu Anxiao's eyes widened. Hearing the old man's voice suddenly become younger, she was stunned, "You're a wolf demon."
Xie Xin "..." Hearing "wolf," she quickly dropped the spoon in her hand.
Immediately, the old man gradually returned to his younger appearance, then slowly turned to look at Mu Anxiao and smiled, "Long time no see!"
Since ten years ago, Mu Anxiao had completely lost contact with the wolf demon.
Seeing him now was undoubtedly not good news for Mu Anxiao.
"Why are you here?" she took a step back.
However, Xie Xin's gaze was fixed on the wolf demon's face, and she smiled, "Wow, so handsome."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. She turned to look at Xie Xin, who had stood up, and exclaimed, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Xie Xin stepped forward and smiled at the wolf demon, "Young sir, hello."
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly reached out and grabbed Xie Xin's arm, "Sister, he's a demon, can you please not be so superficial?"
The wolf demon glanced at Mu Anxiao, then smiled at Xie Xin again, and said gently, "My name is Hu Yuan."
Hu Yuan?
Hu Yuan was a person from the present world. Back then, he had given his body to the wolf demon who had no true form.
Now, hearing the wolf demon usurp Hu Yuan's name, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but feel angry, "Wolf demon, have you gone mad?"
Hearing this, the wolf demon looked at Mu Anxiao, "I've been using this name for ten years already, have you forgotten?"
"Forgotten."
"What kind of memory do you have."
"What do you want to do?" Mu Anxiao, worried that the wolf demon might harm Xie Xin, tightly grabbed Xie Xin's arm.
However, Xie Xin's gaze simply couldn't be moved from the wolf demon's face, "..."
