Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

After finishing her apple, Tangtang jumped down from Lin Tian's arms, ran to Zhang Shiyu, and looked up at her, saying, "Sister Shiyu, your eyes are so red! Did you cry?"

Zhang Shiyu paused for a moment, then reached up and touched her eyes, the traces of her earlier fear and near-tears still lingering.

"My sister didn't cry. She's just happy to have family again."

"Sister, blow on it."

Tangtang leaned closer, puffed out her cheeks, and blew a breath into Zhang Shiyu's eyes. Whoosh—

Zhang Shiyu smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Tangtang."

Tangtang grinned, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

Looking at that innocent face, Zhang Shiyu suddenly realized that this was her biggest bargaining chip.

What kind of cunning could a three-and-a-half-year-old child have?

As long as she treats Tangtang well, Tangtang will treat her well in return.

Even if Lin Tian wants to kill her, Tangtang will plead for her.

He secretly made plans in his mind, and the smile on his face became even more sincere.

Bai Jin stood up: "Shiyu, if there's anything, talk to the housekeeper. JoJo, please take care of her."

JoJo nodded: "Okay."

Bai Jin went upstairs.

Only JoJo, Lin Tian, ​​Tangtang, and Zhang Shiyu remained in the living room.

JoJo sat on the sofa flipping through a magazine, while Lin Tian led Tangtang to wash her hands, saying that there was apple juice on her hands.

Zhang Shiyu sat on the sofa, watching their backs as they walked away, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Poetry Rain".

JoJo asked, puzzled, "You saw Xiaotian just now, and he seemed really scared."

Zhang Shiyu was startled, but feigned nonchalance and sighed, "The first time I saw Xiaotian, I was reminded of my younger brother. He's about this age, very cute. It's a pity..."

She lowered her head, her eyes reddening again.

This time it was an act, but it was a very convincing one.

JoJo didn't doubt it and patted her hand: "Don't be sad, this will be your home from now on."

Zhang Shiyu nodded, secretly relieved, but was already planning her next step.

She had to find a way to gain a foothold in this family first; the system was no longer a reliable option, so she had to play dead more thoroughly than anyone else.

Once he gains Lin Tian's favor, he will ask him to destroy the system and then he will be free.

The dinner table was so long that Zhang Shiyu felt that what separated her and Lin Tian was not a table of food, but an abyss.

However, this is fine too, it suits her just as well.

Bai Jin sat in the main seat, JoJo sat next to her, Lin Tian sat opposite JoJo, Tangtang sat next to Lin Tian, ​​and Zhang Shiyu happened to sit opposite Lin Tian.

The housekeeper and servants came in and out, bringing out dish after dish, filling the table to the brim.

Zhang Shiyu buried her head in her food, afraid that her eyes would betray her. She could only lower her head, shoveling rice around and pretending to eat.

"Sister Shiyu, why aren't you eating your vegetables?"

Tangtang's voice came from across the way, sweet and soft, like freshly steamed rice cake.

Zhang Shiyu looked up and smiled at Tangtang: "Sister is eating, Tangtang, be good, eat more."

Tangtang grinned, revealing two little tiger teeth, and buried her head in gnawing on the ribs.

Bai Jin picked up a piece of fish and put it in Zhang Shiyu's bowl: "Shiyu, eat more, you're so thin."

Zhang Shiyu quickly thanked him and lowered her head to eat the fish.

The fish was very fresh, but she was too preoccupied with other things and didn't really appreciate it, so she swallowed it whole and couldn't taste it.

Lin Tian ate his meal slowly and deliberately, occasionally putting food on Tangtang's plate and exchanging a few words with JoJo.

He didn't look at Zhang Shiyu, not even once.

But Zhang Shiyu knew he was watching her.

The feeling of being watched is like needles pricking your back, making you restless.

She knew Lin Tian wasn't looking at her, but she also knew he was. This feeling was contradictory, but she couldn't explain it.

This reminded her that what killed her was an evil spirit, a ghostly figure, and that evil spirit was Lin Tian.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Shiyu put down her chopsticks, looked up at Bai Jin, and said, "Aunt, I'm full. I just came from the mainland and haven't fully recovered yet. I'm a little tired and want to go upstairs to rest."

Bai Jin nodded: "Of course, you should get some rest."

Zhang Shiyu stood up and bowed slightly to everyone: "Aunt, Cousin, Xiaotian, Tangtang, I'll go up first."

JoJo nodded.

Tangtang waved to her: "Goodnight, Sister Shiyu."

Lin Tian didn't look up, but simply gave a polite "hmm".

Zhang Shiyu turned around and walked towards the stairs, showing no signs of anything unusual.

But she knew that there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind.

Lin Tian looked up and watched Zhang Shiyu's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, his brows furrowing slightly.

Why is this woman so afraid of me?

From the moment she saw him, she had been avoiding his gaze, her body trembling slightly, and even her voice was shaking.

He had killed many people, but that was in another world. In Hong Kong, he was just an ordinary child.

Why is she afraid of him?

Does she know him?

He came from Beijing, and both his parents are dead... Could he be a relative of someone he killed?

A fish that slipped through the net?

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a wisp of his shadow silently separated from his feet, drifting along the shadow towards the stairwell.

Zhang Shiyu went up to the second floor. The corridor was quiet, with only the echo of her footsteps.

Open the door, close the door, and lock it.

All in one go.

She leaned against the door, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt her heart pounding in her chest.

it is finally over.

This meal felt like going to the execution ground.

She didn't know if Lin Tian had discovered anything, whether he would suspect her, or whether he would suddenly rush up and chop off her head with an axe.

The thought of the axe made her legs feel weak again.

"system!"

Zhang Shiyu cried out in her mind, "System! Has Lin Tian followed us? Has he noticed anything?"

no respond.

The depths of my consciousness were utterly silent, a stagnant pool of water.

"System! Say something! Stop playing dead!"

Still no response.

Zhang Shiyu's heart sank. The system was playing dead. That coward! It kept talking about revenge, but when it actually saw the person it was supposed to take revenge on, it was too scared to utter a single word.

Just now in the living room, when Lin Tian glanced at her, she felt the system tremble deep within her consciousness. That fear was transmitted directly from the system to her, almost causing her to collapse on the spot.

"A revenge system?"

Zhang Shiyu sneered, cursing inwardly, "What kind of revenge system are you? You should be called the 'soft rice system'! You called me revenge? Why don't you come at me then? Why are you hiding?"

Still no response.

Zhang Shiyu was so angry she wanted to curse, but dared not utter a sound.

She walked to the bedside, sat down, and braced her hands on the edge of the bed, her knuckles turning white.

The room was quiet, with only the ticking of the wall clock.

Lying in bed, I suddenly felt that the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

It wasn't cold, but an indescribable, chilling cold that seeped into your very bones.

"system……"

Zhang Shiyu called out in her heart, her voice weak, "Has Lin Tian arrived?"

no respond.

But her body told her that something was watching her.

The feeling of being watched was intense, like a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, intently watching her every move.

In the shadows of the corner, Lin Tian's ghostly figure silently watched Zhang Shiyu's subtle movements.

She was afraid, terrified...

This woman definitely has a problem; she's been acting strangely ever since she first met him.

They say it's enemy agents, but this is Hong Kong, so that's not quite right either.

Who is she?
