"Is this okay? It's like meditating!"

“Yes, host, they really are coming this way!” Xiao Qi suddenly said.

Yan Jin used her spiritual power to look out and saw someone carrying a plate coming towards her room.

She straightened her back, crossed her legs, paused the TV, and a moment later, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong~

A knock came at the door, accompanied by Qiao Chusheng's voice.

"Yan Jin, are you asleep?"

"Come in." Her voice was as cold as ever.

Qiao Chusheng pushed open the door and saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed, wearing a dark set of pajamas.

The pajamas were designed for home comfort, and her long, black hair was held up with a hairpin, adding a touch of softness to her aloof demeanor.

"I've brought you some fruit, have a taste!"

“Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, host. This kid has something on his mind.” Xiao Qi said in the space.

"Both are unmarried, he might be after the person, I'm after the looks!"

"I'm worried that the host will break character."

"Don't worry, it's up to me."

Yan Jin stood up and walked to the foot of the bed, quickly putting on her shoes. In ancient times, women were not allowed to have their feet seen by others.

The fact that he was allowed into the room could be attributed to him getting used to the environment over the past few days. Fortunately, she wasn't a pampered young lady and wasn't that conservative.

Qiao Chusheng also thought of this problem, but only glanced at it before looking away.

I went to her window and put the fruit on the table.

Yan Jin walked over, sat down, and said, "You sit down too!"

Qiao Chusheng sat down opposite her and pushed the fruit plate toward her.

"Try it, it's an apple!"

During the Republic of China era, apples were still quite precious and were a must-have fruit at high-end banquets.

Yan Jin picked up her fork, forked a piece of apple, and put it in her mouth: "Apple?"

The original owner came from a fictional dynasty and had never seen this kind of fruit before.

"Yes, eating more is good for your health."

"Thank you." But she only ate two pieces and then stopped.

Qiao Chusheng didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "I've heard from teachers that you learn to read very quickly."

Yan Jin nodded: "I have a good memory, it's not difficult!"

"Then I'll prepare some books for you, you can read them at your leisure."

"Okay, shall we go out tomorrow?"

"We don't know yet. If there's a case, we'll have to get up early. If you don't want to go out, you can stay home."

Yan Jin shook her head: "I'll go with you so I can protect your safety."

"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'll head back now."

It's getting late, and it's not appropriate for me to stay here any longer.

The word "protect" sounded a little strange to Qiao Chusheng. When did he become someone who needed to be protected?

"Mm." Yan Jin nodded.

"If you're not going to eat this apple, just leave it. Someone will come and take care of it tomorrow," Qiao Chusheng said.

There are always people who clean our house regularly.

Yan Jin nodded, and after Qiao Chusheng left, she took the remaining apples, went back to bed, sat cross-legged, and watched TV.

The next morning, Qiao Chusheng received news early that there was a case.

After finishing their meal, the two headed to the scene.

Looking at the charred corpse with its mouth full of sharp teeth, Yan Jin squatted down and examined it carefully for a while.

Upon seeing it, Bai Youning exclaimed excitedly, "It's a vampire!"

"It's not clear yet. We need to find out before we say anything. Don't talk nonsense!" Qiao Chusheng said.

Yan Jin walked to Qiao Chusheng's side and whispered, "What is a vampire?"

"Legend has it that in Western countries there is a creature that survives by sucking blood; they are immortal," Qiao Chusheng explained.

"A legend? So no one has ever seen it?"

"Well, I haven't heard of anyone actually seeing it; it's just a rumor."

Yan Jin nodded and didn't say anything more. She had maintained her persona quite well this time.

"Host, you used to be a vampire, and you're really good at pretending not to know anything."

"Haha, your acting skills are off the charts!"

When they got home that evening, after the two finished dinner, Qiao Chusheng took out a box and pushed it in front of Yan Jin.

"Here, take this. It'll be helpful for you to check the time."

Yan Jin glanced at it before slowly taking it.

"Open it and take a look," Qiao Chusheng said, seeing her unhurried manner.

Yan Jin opened the box, and inside was a women's watch that looked quite valuable.

"Is this the kind of watch you gave to Lu Yao before? I don't need it."

After saying that, she closed the lid and pushed it back to him.

Qiao Chusheng had expected this, and said with a smile, "This was provided for your work, in case you were wasting time. After all, there are some urgent matters that require us to act quickly."

Hearing him say that, Yan Jin looked at him for a while before taking it: "Okay!"

Seeing that she accepted it, Qiao Chusheng smiled.

Qiao Chusheng's house has a training room. Yan Jin used to practice martial arts with a stick, so Qiao Chusheng told her to practice in the training room, which has all kinds of weapons.

So Yan Jin often went to exercise. Today, she went to the exercise room and found Qiao Chusheng inside when she opened the door.

Hearing the noise, he looked over, then glanced at his naked body and felt a little embarrassed.

Just as he was about to get his clothes and put them on, he noticed that Yan Jin was looking at him expressionlessly, without a trace of the shyness that an ancient woman would feel when she saw a man naked.

Suddenly, he didn't want to wear any clothes anymore and just went naked.

Looking at her, he smiled and said, "You're here to exercise too?"

Yan Jin's gaze swept over his body, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.

After all, she's an assassin, and being shy doesn't fit her persona.

A calm and even gaze is the norm.

"Host, Qiao Chusheng has a good physique. Look at the scars on him, he looks even more manly."

"You don't like men anymore, do you, Hua Hua?" Yan Jin said with a smile.

Xiao Qi quickly said, "Host, I'm doing this for you."

"I thought you liked it!" Yan Jin teased.

"No, no," Xiao Qi waved her hand from inside the space.

Yan Jin smiled to herself, walked to an empty space, picked up a knife, and began to practice martial arts.

She was slender, but when she wielded a knife and practiced martial arts, she exuded a powerful aura. Whether she was stabbing, chopping, or slashing, her movements were all filled with murderous intent.

Qiao Chusheng watched for a while, then put on his clothes and went forward with great interest.

Could you give me some pointers?

Yan Jin gestured for him to take the knife: "Come on!"

Qiao Chusheng took a knife, and the two began to fight. Yan Jin tried her best to control her killer instincts and practiced moves on him.

After holding out for about ten minutes, Qiao Chusheng was slapped away by Yan Jin with the back of her knife and fell to the ground.

He gasped for breath and said, "It hurts a little, can you help me up?"

His breathing caused his chest to rise and fall, and the outline of his pectoral muscles could be seen through his slightly open collar.

"Host, he's seducing you!" Xiao Qi said secretly.

"I knew, but I didn't expect you to be able to see it now."

"Of course, I've watched a lot of TV dramas and read a lot of novels."

"Yes, you're very capable and love learning," Yan Jin replied perfunctorily.

"hey-hey."
