Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1342 One step further

"Hmph!" Si Teng gave a coquettish snort, glancing at Lin Hao with a charming look. For some reason, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart.

"Oh, right, these are the certificates and other documents issued by the village!" Lin Hao added as a final reminder.
"I've already made all the arrangements. You must listen to the police officers when you go in!"

"Got it!" Si Teng rolled her eyes at Lin Hao, then said arrogantly, "Stop nagging, lead the way!"

"Hey, wait a minute, here you go. If the police officer says something that makes you uncomfortable, please bear with it. After all, we live in a society governed by law, and we must abide by the law, understand?"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out a sandalwood pendant engraved with the character "忍" (ren, meaning forbearance) and handed it to Si Teng.

Si Teng took it and said seriously, "I understand, you don't need to tell me specifically!"

"I've watched TV and seen the news, and I know that you humans have powerful weapons now, so you won't act rashly!"

With so much surveillance and such powerful modern weapons, Si Teng feels a chill every time she thinks about the power of nuclear weapons, not to mention that her current strength is only half of what it used to be.

Unless you're stupid, it's best to avoid using superhuman strength in modern society.

Otherwise, if they are discovered and reported to the government, it wouldn't be fun if they were arrested by scientists and dissected for research.

"That's good!" Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Si Teng's actions would cause a big commotion.

······
At Cangchengshan Police Station, Si Teng sat upright in front of the camera.

After the police officer reviewed Si Teng's documents, he had her sign several more forms, and the formalities were basically completed.

Finally, there was a ten-minute re-processing session, during which photos needed to be taken. However, the document review had already made Si Teng a little impatient.

The police officer taking the photo said, "Don't move, look at the camera. Hey, take off that earring!"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng looked at the police officer with a puzzled expression, as if asking why he had to remove it!

Having seen all sorts of people, the police officer immediately said, "It's the rule: you can't wear jewelry when taking ID photos!"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng gripped the "Endure" pendant Lin Hao had given her tightly, and then reluctantly took off her earring!

The police officer glanced at Si Teng, then reminded her, "Take off your hair clip too."

Although Sito, who loves beauty, was unhappy, she had no choice but to comply.

The police officer reminded him again, "Show your ears!"

Si Teng turned to look at the police officer with a blank expression. The officer remained unmoved, but still explained, "You need to show your whole face in the ID photo!"

Si Teng gritted her teeth, gripped the "Endure" pendant tightly again, and swept her hair back.

"Look at the camera, good!" The police officer praised Si Teng after looking at his face on the computer screen.

Then, he saw Si Teng's fiery red lips, sighed helplessly, and handed her a few sheets of paper, saying, "Take off your makeup!"

Si Teng remained silent, glaring angrily at the police officer.

The police officer remained unmoved, smiling gently as he said:
"There are regulations that prohibit wearing makeup when taking ID photos, because sometimes the difference between wearing makeup and removing makeup is like night and day!"

Since that's what they said, and it makes a lot of sense, Si Teng has no choice but to do as they say!

Finally, after all that commotion, Si Teng stormed out!
"Hey, how was it? How was the filming?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.

When Lin Hao went to apply for his ID card, he encountered many of these problems, but he also knew that they were not deliberately making things difficult for him.

Seeing the expression on Lin Hao's face as he approached, they knew that the other party definitely knew about what had happened to him!

Si Teng gave Lin Hao a cold look, slammed the "Endure" pendant into his hand, and then walked out of the police station in a huff!

"Haha, looks like you're pretty angry!" Lin Hao chuckled a few times and followed.

In reality, Sito wasn't really angry. She had been in modern society for quite some time and had been learning how it worked, so she wasn't genuinely angry.

Moreover, compared to the Republic of China era decades ago, the current living environment is vastly different, or rather, incomparable.

As soon as the two walked out of the police station, their cell phones rang. Lin Hao quickly took out his phone and saw that it was Chairman Cang Hong calling.

Two minutes later, Lin Hao put away his phone, and Si Teng turned around and stared at Lin Hao, asking, "Who called?"

Lin Hao shrugged and said, "It's Cang Hong. He said he'll come to visit tonight. Looks like there's news!"

"Oh!" Si Teng raised an eyebrow and said, "You have news so quickly?"

"Yes, what a coincidence!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

······
In the courtyard at dusk, Si Teng looked at President Cang Hong and asked, "May I ask what brings you here this time?"

"That's how it is!" Cang Hong adjusted his glasses and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Today, we've been busy all day, with everyone asking around among their acquaintances!"

"As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves. Although it is still unclear, we have some clues."

Si Teng sneered, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "You were saying before how hard it was to find, but now you've got a lead. Isn't that a bit too fast?"

The abbot of Canghong Temple, feeling guilty, said somewhat awkwardly:

"It concerns our lives and livelihoods, so everyone is very anxious, fearing that if we delay even a moment, the poison will take effect."

"Although we have made some progress, we are still not sure. However, we should let you know first, so that Miss Sito will not misunderstand that we are deliberately delaying."

Si Teng smiled knowingly and said, "It's not a misunderstanding, it's a win-win situation for everyone!"

"Hahaha!"

President Cang Hong smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Si Teng is too kind. Now that we've finished discussing this, I'll take my leave!"

"No rush," President Cang Hong was about to get up and leave when Si Teng stopped him.

Helpless, Cang Hong sat down and asked, "Is there anything else, Miss Si Teng?"

Si Teng asked calmly, "I heard that you and your master were both present when Qiu Shan tried to kill me, is that right?"

Cang Hong said somewhat awkwardly, "Back then, I was just an ignorant child who didn't understand anything."

Si Teng looked at Cang Hong and asked, "What were the circumstances like back then? Could you tell me about them?"

"Back then~!" Cang Hong was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was there, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Sito, weren't you here too?"
Si Teng said calmly, "Yes, yes, but as you know, the same thing coming from different people always leads to completely different interpretations!"

“This…!” Cang Hong looked at Lin Hao, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"It's alright!" Si Teng waved his hand. "He's one of us, go ahead and say it!"

Cang Hong understood, paused for a moment, then his thoughts seemed to drift back to more than seventy years ago, and he began to recount:

"Back then, the three Suspense Masters, Qiu Shan, Li Zhengyuan, and Huang Yu, used the Seven Star Compass to find your trail." "Because Miss Si Teng was weak after childbirth, the three of them joined forces to kill you. Suspense Master Qiu Shan used lightning to burn your remains, but strangely, he couldn't refine them!"

"During the fire, you kept saying you would come back. I never imagined that more than seventy years later, you would actually come back!"

After recounting his experiences from back then, a deathly silence fell over the room. Cang Hong looked at Si Teng nervously, fearing that she would come after him at any moment.

Although Si Teng had previously said that the past was the past, Shen Yindeng said that Si Teng was two-faced. Comparing the two, he still believed Shen Yindeng more.

Several minutes passed before Si Teng finally spoke, his voice low and weary.

Si Teng: "Lin Hao, see the guest out!"

After seeing Cang Hong off, Lin Hao returned to the living room. Si Teng was still sitting in the same position, motionless in the chair.

Seeing that Si Teng looked quite tired, Lin Hao put his arm around her from behind and said:
"Alright, what's past is past, we should look forward!"

Recalling the past, Si Teng asked in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Tell me, why would a woman stay with a man who is lying to her, and even have his child?"

This question seemed to be directed at Lin Hao, but it also seemed to be directed at Si Teng herself.

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Although I should say it's because of love, because it sounds better, and women like to hear that. Even if they're being deceived, they're willing to continue being deceived."

"However, if you ask me what I really think, I think it's probably stupid!"

Si Teng laughed heartily, until tears streamed down his face: "Stupid, truly stupid!"

"Alright, alright!" Lin Hao gently comforted him, "Don't let those unhappy things ruin your mood!"

"Cheer up, we have a long life ahead of us, don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes!"

"Aren't you going to ask me about having a child with someone else?" Si Teng suddenly became very curious about Lin Hao's reaction.

Lin Hao smiled slightly and said, "Since I have ulterior motives towards you, do you think I would care?"

Si Teng seemed a little lost upon hearing this, and said wearily, "Lin Hao, I'm tired, I want to sleep!"

"Okay!" Lin Hao nodded gently, picked up Si Teng around the waist, and walked towards the bedroom.

Si Teng wanted to struggle, but in Lin Hao's arms, she felt safe and secure again, so she let Lin Hao do as he pleased, while also wondering if Lin Hao had any ulterior motives.

In Si Teng's bedroom, Lin Hao quietly watched him fall asleep.

Si Teng leaned against Jin Zhi's soft couch, her black hair spread out like clouds, and even in her deep sleep, the sorrow between her brows and eyes could not be erased.

Lin Hao's gaze swept over Si Teng's eyebrows, her lips as red as a begonia, and finally landed on her exposed shoulder.

Lin Hao gently kissed Si Teng on the forehead, feeling her breath catch in her throat, then covered her with the blanket and went out.

She no longer resists his affection, which is a good sign; it seems there's potential for things to progress further.

······
In the early morning, fluffy white clouds floated in the pale blue sky, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees along the roadside.

The little birds in the trees chirped and hopped back and forth, as if announcing to people that a new day had begun.

Lin Hao yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and woke up from his dream.

Si Teng was in a bad mood last night, so Lin Hao thought he would cook her something delicious to comfort her.

Although Sito has hardly eaten since his resurrection, he drinks tea every day and sometimes drinks different flavored fruit juice when he feels like it.

However, Lin Hao knew that not eating didn't mean she couldn't eat; it just meant she didn't want to eat.

After the Kaguya tribe takes human form, they have a sense of taste. As for Si Teng not eating, it's not that he can't eat, but rather that his instinct as a plant makes him not want to eat.

Lin Hao wanted to activate her human side; otherwise, her indifferent and aloof nature would be too boring.

"Crackling and clanging!" Soon, sounds came from the kitchen.

More than an hour later, Lin Hao arranged the dishes he had prepared on the dining table in the living room.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Lin Hao closed his eyes, took a gentle sniff, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although breakfasts are usually light, Lin Hao and Si Teng are not ordinary people, so why would they care about such things?

"Knock knock knock!" Lin Hao knocked lightly a few times outside Si Teng's bedroom.

"Click!" The door opened from the inside, clearly Si Teng had reached out to open it again.

Upon entering, Lin Hao noticed that Si Teng was still not in high spirits, sitting lazily by the window.

Si Teng asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"

Lin Haorou said, "Yes, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Eat?" Si Teng frowned slightly, instinctively refusing, "You know I don't eat!"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Today is different. I made it myself. Come and try it."

As he spoke, he walked straight up to her, pulled her towards the living room, and Si Teng did not struggle, obediently following Lin Hao downstairs.

"Try it, I made it all myself today." After arriving in the living room, Lin Hao pressed Si Teng down into a chair and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Si Teng sniffed the food on the table; an enticing aroma wafted from it, and he couldn't help but swallow hard!
"But I already said I wouldn't eat it, what if I do~!" Thinking of this, Si Teng stared at Lin Hao for a moment before saying arrogantly:
"You begged me, I'm only eating this out of respect!"

"Yes, yes, I begged you to eat it!" Lin Hao said speechlessly, but then became arrogant.

Si Teng picked up a piece of smashed cucumber with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The moment the cucumber entered her mouth, Si Teng's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Hao!
Lin Hao smiled. No one could refuse the food he made himself, especially Si Teng, who still had half of her magic power left.

Because Lin Hao infused the food with life energy while cooking, it would be difficult for any member of the Kui clan to refuse, let alone Si Teng.

Thinking it over, Lin Hao picked up his chopsticks, put some meat and vegetables on Si Teng's plate, and placed them in the bowl in front of Si Teng!

After finishing the meal, Lin Hao took out a gift box and handed it to Si Teng!

"What is this?" Si Teng asked curiously after taking it!

Lin Hao said softly with a smile, "Knowing you like tea, I got you a lot of good tea, these were all tribute teas in the past!"

"Really? You can get your hands on that thing?" Si Teng looked at Lin Hao suspiciously!

She wasn't some clueless newbie; she knew that some things couldn't be obtained even with money! Only those with immense power and influence could acquire them.

In Si Teng's eyes, Lin Hao was just a man with some ability; he shouldn't be able to get those things!

Indeed, just as Si Teng thought, if it were simply a matter of modern times, Lin Hao would not be able to obtain that thing.

But his abilities, methods, and knowledge are too numerous to ignore!
