Wei Qing had been busy with official duties in the past few days, and only today did he take some time out to visit Pei Shaofeng at Pei Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Butler Qiao came to greet him: "Master Wei is here, please come in!"

Wei Qing nodded and asked, "Is Shaofeng doing well these days?"

"Okay, okay," Butler Qiao replied, "Ah, thanks to Jindou coming over every day these past few days, our young master is like a completely different person."

As the two men were talking, they arrived in front of Pei Shaofeng's house and heard Jindou say from inside, "Then I saw the door of that wing room open without a breeze, and a black aura rushed out. When the demon catcher saw it, he shouted, 'Who is this demon who dares to be so presumptuous here?'"

Jindou's story was so vivid that Wei Qing couldn't help but stop and listen outside the house.

Inside the room, Jindou continued to talk, "The demon catcher flipped his hand, revealing a long sword. The black energy, after circling in the air for a few times, transformed into a ferocious tiger, which pounced on the demon catcher with its fangs and claws bared. In an instant, the man and the tiger engaged in a fierce fight, and it was difficult to determine the winner!"

Outside the house, Wei Qing became so absorbed in listening that he forgot to go into the house.

"Lord Wei, please come in," Butler Qiao said hurriedly when he saw Wei Qing standing outside.

Jindou, who was in the room, heard the sound outside the door, stopped talking and looked towards the door. Seeing that it was Wei Qing walking in, he hurried forward and said, "Sir!"

Wei Qing nodded, walked over and sat on the chair beside the bed, looking Pei Shaofeng up and down. As expected, he found that after just a few days of not seeing him, Pei Shaofeng's face had become much rosier, and he seemed full of energy now. Compared with the lifeless look when he just returned to Beijing, he was like a completely different person.

"Shaofeng, how do you feel now?" Wei Qing asked.

"Very good, Jindou said I'm recovering well." Pei Shaofeng replied. The pain in his ankle wound has been much less in the past two days. Because of his good physical condition, the wound healed quickly.

"Sir," Jindou came over and stood by the bed and said, "In a few days, General Pei's eyes will be healed and he will be able to see again."

"Really?" Wei Qing looked up at Jindou when he heard it, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

"Of course," Jindou replied, looking at Pei Shaofeng's bandaged eyes and said, "General Pei, when your eyes are healed, I'll teach you something fun, how about that?"

"Okay!" Pei Shaofeng said with a smile. He turned his head to Jindou and continued, "Jindou, I'll ask Uncle Qiao to take you downstairs to eat something."

"Great!" Jindou clapped his hands upon hearing this and said, "General Pei, the cakes made by your chef are truly delicious."

These days, whenever Jindou comes to Pei Mansion, Butler Qiao will ask the chef to prepare all kinds of delicious food to serve him. Jindou is full of praise for the pastries made by the chef.

"Uncle Qiao!" Pei Shaofeng called out.

"Hey, hey!" Butler Qiao, who had been standing outside the door, came in and said, "Master, what can I do for you?"

"Take Jindou downstairs to eat something, and ask the chef to make some more of their signature pastries."

"Oh, okay, okay," Butler Qiao agreed quickly and led Jindou downstairs.

After hearing the door close, Pei Shaofeng, who was sitting on the bed, said softly to Wei Qing, "Wei Qing, thank you."

After a pause, Pei Shaofeng turned towards Wei Qing and continued, "Tell me, where is Jindou from? And how did you get to know him?"

Wei Qing really had no answer for this question, so he told Pei Shaofeng the truth, from how he got to know Shangshu Liu's family by getting rid of the cat ghost to how he sent secret guards to investigate the details of the golden beans but found nothing.

Pei Shaofeng knew how powerful the Jinyiwei's secret guards and intelligence network were. They couldn't even find out Jindou's background. Could he be someone from outer space?

"Maybe," Pei Shaofeng smiled slightly, "Golden Bean was really sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to save me."

After hearing what Pei Shaofeng said, Wei Qing couldn't help but think of the last full-moon night when Jindou put his hand on his wrist and his headache disappeared. He became dazed for a moment.

******

Time flies, and another full moon night has arrived.

Wei Qing lay on the bed, his thin lips tightly closed, his expression painful.

The severe pain in his head, like needles and insect bites, forced him to grit his teeth again and again and toss and turn.

Stroking his head, Wei Qing stood up and walked to the door. After hesitating for a moment, the severe pain forced him to open the door.

After a few steps, Wei Qing came to the window of the Golden Bean Room. Enduring the headache, he looked around like a thief for the first time, then opened the window and jumped in.

Walking closer to the bed, Jindou was sleeping soundly with his hands on his chest and a purse in his arms.

There are actually people sleeping with their money bags in their arms. Wei Qing couldn't help but shake his head.

The agonizing pain in his head forced Wei Qing to stop thinking. He slowly stretched out his arm and moved closer to Jindou's wrist. At this moment, his face, which had remained expressionless for many years, also showed tension.

Sure enough, the moment Wei Qing's fingers touched the delicate back of Jindou's hand, the pain in his head disappeared without a trace, like the receding tide, and was replaced by a sense of relief as if the shackles were freed.

Although he had experienced this once before, Wei Qing was still extremely shocked. He collapsed and sat down on the edge of the bed.

For so many years, headaches have been following him like a demon, and the repeated pains that are worse than death have worn away all his expectations for life.

He had never dared to think about the seven emotions and six desires, getting married and having children. He just felt that his life was destined to be short, and the future was full of coldness and darkness.

But just now, when the two hands touched and the pain disappeared, Wei Qing felt a beam of light suddenly appear in front of his eyes. This light made him feel warm and nostalgic.

Wei Qing slowly shifted his gaze towards Jindou's face. The bright moonlight was now shining on Jindou's face, making her already very fair and delicate skin appear even more delicate and flawless.

Looking at the moist corners of Jindou's lips, Wei Qing seemed to be bewitched and slowly leaned his head towards Jindou's face. Just when their lips were about to touch, Jindou suddenly moved.

Wei Qing's head buzzed with a sound, and he suddenly reacted. He hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back, but saw that Jindou just muttered twice and fell into a deep sleep again.

At this moment, Wei Qing's face was flushed and his heart was beating fast as if struck by lightning.

What just happened to me? Wei Qing didn't dare stay in the room any longer. He jumped to the window and jumped out.

The cool air outside finally brought Wei Qing back to his senses. Just now... it must have been because of the headache that made him so confused. Wei Qing comforted himself in his heart and slowly walked back to the room.
