Jian Fu Yin Fu Kneels for Master Hua!

"Hammer, screwdriver, utility knife... uh, should I make chili water with chili sauce??"

"Forget it... wasting food would be an insult to the departed little brother..."

Hua Xin packed her usual three items into her schoolbag, her eyes shining with the light of victory.

She felt...

She was definitely going to win.

"Stabbing me in the back, huh? ... Being a spy, huh... Peeping on me for five whole years, huh? ..."

"Jian Fu Yin Fu, just you wait for my counterattack..."

The girl seemed to recall the scene where Mu Feng was overwhelmed by her aura, and her slight fear turned into confidence, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

(Known: Mu Feng's combat power is -4396, Xia Yan's combat power is: 87 million.)

She was no longer the Hua Xin of the past...

(Hua Xin's combat power is: 0.1)

Hmph.

"Just wait to kneel before Master Hua!!??????"

Hua Xin took out a rubber band from a large pack of cheap, free-shipping rubber bands and skillfully tied her long hair, which nearly reached her waist, into a ponytail, revealing her fair neck.

The girl gently took off her clothes, then picked up strips of cloth cut from discarded clothes and wound them around her chest layer by layer.

Uh...

Her once perky chest was forcefully pressed down.

That feeling of being unable to breathe returned once again. If she relied solely on the cloth strips, it wouldn't be enough to conceal Hua Xin's true strength, so...

Then the girl put on a loose, oversized, pure black hoodie that barely reached her thighs, successfully sealing her perfect figure.

This was also why Hua Xin hadn't revealed herself in front of Xia Yan that night.

"Sigh..."

Hua Xin sighed softly. As the most loyal follower of Da Lei, if she didn't have a strength of C or above, she wouldn't even look at it for more than a second.

But similarly, it felt really good at that time (kids, don't ask).

"A thousand cups of wine have been drunk, yet I'm not drunk... let alone facing the wind and rain..."

The girl happily hummed a song as she sat by the door, putting on her newly bought white shoes.

Although they weren't as durable or wear-resistant as black ones, they were pretty!!

She had only used thirty yuan of the two hundred yuan Lao Shui sent her to buy a very ordinary pair of shoes online. The rest of the money was saved in her little treasury.

Hua Xin happily stomped her feet at the doorway, then spun around in place.

They were very ordinary shoes, with no other features besides being white.

But the girl's expression was as happy as if she had received a rare treasure, her eyes seeming to flow with radiance.

"Very good!"

"Very spirited!"

Hua Xin put on her mask with satisfaction, then shouldered her backpack and stood solemnly at the door, making a parting declaration:

"Don't worry..."

"Lao Shui."

"When I return today, you'll see the prey in my hands."

"Today... I'll treat everyone to some meat." (Meaning not turning on the range hood while cooking)

The girl slowly placed her hand on the doorknob and, with determined eyes, opened the door to the world.

Today, she was going to school by herself!

"She drove a neighbor's Toyota chasing the sunset, her parents said she'd been to the most dangerous places, the rer playing tonight was her favorite, she walked to the bar and ordered a whiskey sour..."

Grandpa Liu, who had worked a full night shift, swayed his head and sang along, then took a sip of his cola and admired the sunrise he had watched for decades, sighing:

"People these days, they just wake up late..."

"Sleeping all day at what age!"

"Huh?"??

Suddenly, he pushed up his reading glasses, and a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

He saw a socially anxious person, carrying a backpack and wearing a hoodie in the hot weather, walking forward with their head down.

Grandpa Liu looked curiously at the main entrance, but the delivery driver on the motorcycle hadn't appeared.

Has this child recovered from her illness?

That's good...

It's been so many years, it's time to step out of the shadows.

He leaned back in his chair with a sigh, took off his reading glasses, and felt a sense of relief.

"Unreliable parents... sigh."

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Grandpa Liu, I'm here to take over your shift. You should hurry home, you've been up all night."

A man in property management attire appeared outside the security room, knocking on the glass with a smile before opening the door.

"Ah, Xiao Li, you're here. Just leave these crawfish for you. They're my takeout, still hot."

"Don't drink."

"Then I'll be going."

"Sure, sure."

Grandpa Liu instructed, then took off his security uniform, revealing a trendy brand t-shirt underneath. He picked up his foldable phone and walked out of the security room.

The parking lot wasn't far.

Grandpa Liu slowly took his Xiaomi SU7 car key out of his pocket.

(Didn't everyone have trouble getting up in the morning? Why are there so many people????)

(Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me????...)

Hua Xin lowered her head, looking at the many moving shoes on the ground, trembling slightly as she walked forward. Her previous bold ambitions seemed to have vanished like smoke.

When she followed Xia Yan out, she was in the car. She just needed to space out for a bit and they'd arrive. It wasn't like now, where she had to walk slowly herself????...

Wait!

Even though she no longer had a sharp sword, she still had sharp eyes!??

The girl's head shot up instantly, her gaze locking onto a shop not far away. She sniffed the air, and an unusually rich aroma wafted through it.

Buns...

Buns!!!

Hua Xin's eyes lit up immediately. The smell of meat buns was like catnip, fiercely hooking her stomach, which had only eaten one cookie that morning.

Eat or not eat, eat or not eat, eat or not eat...

But it smelled so good????...

It probably wouldn't be too expensive, right? The girl swallowed her saliva and involuntarily walked towards it.

"Bang."

"Didn't you have eyes? Walking without looking where you're going? Stupid idiot..."

The man cursed, then continued walking quickly without looking back.

Hua Xin silently rubbed her shoulder.

It hurt so much (tears welled up).

She had been looking where she was going...

Never mind, buns first!

She'll just make Lao Shui pay later!??

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

"We have pork, beef, lamb, Orleans, zucchini, egg, crawfish buns..."

The shop assistant aunt's long list of offerings confused Hua Xin. Mustering her courage, she lowered her head and asked nervously and self-consciously, "Which... which is the cheapest meat bun??..."

Then the girl suddenly realized something. Her heart chilled with belated realization, and she lowered her head, panicking internally.

It's over??...

She didn't use her disguised voice just now??...

(No!!!! Don't take me away??????!!!!)

Hearing the soft, cute voice, the shop assistant aunt was stunned. Looking at the girl's worn clothes and pants, a flicker of pity flashed in her eyes. Then, she subtly flipped the price tag down.

"Pork buns, only two yuan."

Huh?

Hua Xin suddenly realized that strangers wouldn't recognize her. Even if she went out looking like this, it wouldn't matter, no one would recognize her!

So, besides school, she could go out openly without any problem!??

Then the girl silently negated the thought in her mind and weakly said:

"One, one."

One minute later.

"Awooo..."

Hua Xin happily took the buns and walked to a small corner, squatting down. She took off her mask and took a big bite.

"So fragrant~"

The young girl happily looked at the steaming meat filling within the white dough, chewing and swallowing blissfully.

"Huh? This taste..." She took another bite, realizing something after the fact.

Then, for some reason, tears began to stream down her face.

"This taste... it's the beef buns she liked the most..."
