Lin Yanshu sighed helplessly and turned to Shen Ruojun, "If you don't mind, you can come to my house tonight. It's very close to here."

Shen Ruoyun thought about it and realized that it wouldn't be convenient to go back now, as Lin Yanshu would have to travel back and forth.

In addition, Zhuangzhuang is being quite noisy, so staying overnight isn't a bad idea.

Anyway, she had stayed at Lin Yanshu's house before, so she nodded with that thought in mind.

"Okay, I can go back by myself tomorrow."

However, the home Lin Yan mentioned this time was not the place they had visited before, but rather the old Lin family residence.

The car slowly drove into the Lin family's old residence, and the antique-style building came into view.

Upon entering the house, a butler with slightly graying hair was already standing at the door to greet us.

Lin Yanshu got out of the car and opened the door, and Shen Ruojun got out of the car.

Lin Zhuangzhuang immediately climbed down from the car, finally satisfied. He held Shen Ruojun's hand tightly and walked inside.

They must have heard the noise, because a man and a woman came out, smiling.

Upon seeing Shen Ruoyun and Lin Yanshu, his expression brightened, and he looked down at the little guy who was still trying to pull Shen Ruoyun into the house.

"Lin Zhuangzhuang, you've been flirting with omegas again?" Lin Yanqing reached out to pick Zhuangzhuang up, but he dodged away in disgust.

Lin Yanqing withdrew his hand, not angry at all, as if he was used to this kind of scene. He raised his hand and touched his nose.

The handsome young man standing next to Lin Zhuangzhuang slowly squatted down and reached out his hand.

"Zhuangzhuang, come here, let Daddy hug you." Lin Zhuangzhuang looked at the person in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped into his arms.

Seeing this, Shen Ruoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief; this child was just too clingy.

"This child is very naughty and has caused you trouble." Lin Yanqing smiled apologetically at Shen Ruoyun.

Bai Yi gently patted Zhuangzhuang on the back of the head, speaking softly.

"Please come in first, and let the housekeeper tidy up your room. Are you hungry? We've prepared some late-night snacks, so please have some later."

Shen Ruoyun waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he had eaten a lot that night and was not hungry at all.

The group entered the house, where the furnishings were simple and elegant.

Lin Zhuangzhuang nestled in his father's arms, his eyes darting around, occasionally stealing glances at Shen Ruojun.

Shen Ruojun was a little thirsty from running so fast, so Lin Yanshu poured him some warm water.

Zhuangzhuang was probably tired, and soon he nestled in Bai Yi's arms and fell asleep.

After they finished drinking the water, the housekeeper came to tell them that the room was ready.

Shen Ruoyun followed the butler to the guest room. The room was clean and tidy, with a faint fragrance that was not pungent but rather quite pleasant.

Lin Yanshu followed in, carrying a set of off-white pajamas.

"The bathroom is already filled with water. I'm staying next door tonight, so feel free to call me if you need anything."

Shen Ruoyun took the clothes, nodded, and then turned to take a shower.

"It's okay, Brother Yanshu, you go and rest first. I'll go to sleep after I wash up."

Lin Yanshu nodded, placed a thermos of warm water on his bedside table as usual, and left after confirming that everything was alright and closing the door.

After taking a shower, Shen Ruoyun drank some water and then curled up in the blanket to go to sleep.

He was really exhausted that day, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

I had just closed my eyes, and it felt like less than two minutes had passed before it was dawn.

Getting up is always a difficult task...

Shen Ruoyun cautiously poked one foot out of the blanket to test it out, then quickly withdrew it back in.

This terrible weather is absolutely unsuitable for human outdoor activities.

Shen Ruoyun quickly calculated her assets and wondered if she could retire from this life.

After doing the math, I realized I'm actually quite well-off now, so I thought I might as well just terminate the contract.

He happily pulled out his contract and glanced at it.

Upon seeing the amount owed, he immediately covered his phone with the blanket, closed his eyes, and appeared very serene.

Working is out of the question, I'll never work in my life...

He immediately turned over, began to clear his mind of distractions, and silently brainwashed himself.

Huh... Retire? What retirement? Only those who are useless to society retire. Someone like me, a pillar of the nation, should work for the country for the rest of my life!

Thinking of this, he began to feel intermittently ambitious again, and suddenly jumped out of bed.

He strode into the bathroom with a proud and imposing air, and after washing up and getting dressed, he left the room directly.

It was still a bit foggy in the morning. Shen Ruoyun walked around a few times and came to a courtyard. The flowers and plants were well taken care of, but there was no one there.

Feeling bored, Shen Ruoyun started wandering around and bent down to tease the koi in the pond.

The koi carp looked very well-fed, like a pig, and it would swarm around people whenever it saw them.

"Blue bricks and painted tiles, white horses tread on fresh mud.

Wildflowers and banana leaves, tinged with the twilight, paint a red scarf.

Shen Ruoyun hummed a little tune, playing with the little koi fish with great enjoyment.

"Whose doll are you?"

Shen Ruoyun was startled and immediately withdrew her claws.

Turning around at the sound, he saw an elderly man with a full head of white hair standing behind him, a kind smile on his face.

Shen Ruoyun looked a little flustered and immediately replied, "Hello, I am Lin Yanshu's friend."

The old man smiled and walked over, sitting down next to him.

"So you're Xiaoshu's friend. Are you from Suzhou?"

"Huh? No, that's not it." Shen Ruoyun didn't know why the other person would ask that, and her expression was still a little confused.

"Oh, it wasn't like that. The two lines you sang just now sounded quite similar." The old man smiled and sat down next to him.

After hearing what the other person said, Shen Ruoyun finally realized what was happening and bent down to pat the koi's head.

"No, it was when my mother took me to listen to Suzhou Pingtan when I was a child that I learned to sing by imitating her."

"Haha, I see." The old man nodded, looking at Shen Ruoyun with gentle eyes. "There aren't many young people who like to listen to this kind of thing these days."

Shen Ruoyun didn't pay much attention and grinned at the other person.

"Little boy, can you sing Peking Opera?" The old man looked at him with a kind face and a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Shen Ruoyun: "..."

Lin Yanshu went out in the morning to buy Shen Ruojun a pair of shoes so that she wouldn't be inconvenienced when she went out later.

As I walked through the corridor, passing by Old Master Lin's courtyard, I heard a sound coming from there.

"The Prince Consort stepped closer to examine him closely."

It says on it that Qin Xianglian is thirty-two years old.

She accused the imperial son-in-law of deceiving the emperor.

A man who breaks off an engagement takes a new wife, then kills his wife and kills off his children—his conscience is gone…

Lin Yanshu: "..."

Lin Yanshu changed direction and went straight down into the courtyard, but the scene before him made him both laugh and cry.
