Li Jin greeted Chen Xi Ran to come in. When he opened the door, a newly arranged courtyard came into view. 

Now one-third of the original courtyard was occupied by the study room. But the place still looked quite spacious and not too cramped.

Li Jin put down the bamboo basket and asked Chen Xi Ran to sit in the study.

Chen Xi Ran sat in a room that was called the ‘Study’, but he didn’t actually see a book when looked around.

Li Jin said, “I don’t have tea at home, so can you cool off the heat with iced mung bean soup?”

Chen Xi Ran nodded and said, “Anything will do.”

Then Li Jin went to the kitchen to bring up the iced mung bean soup and served it to Chen Xi Ran.

He said, “There are only a few people in the family, and my partner is cooking. You should rest first. I’ll go and see if the child has woken up.”

Chen Xi Ran knew that other people’s bedrooms could not be entered randomly, so he sat in the study room and read Li Jin’s copied text.

After taking a look, Chen Xi Ran was directly shocked.

He still remembered the first time he saw Li Jin writing twenty days ago, he could only write the text neatly.

But now, in Li Jin’s calligraphy, every horizontal, and vertical line seemed to hook people’s will, which made people unable to remove their eyes from it.

Chen Xi Ran found a word from his lack of vocabulary to describe that font, vigorous.

— Li Jin’s writing was no longer slacked off, just like those words have their own bones.

But there was also a flaw in it, that was, it didn’t look very harmonious.

It was because the horizontal and vertical lines were so well written, that they didn’t look very good-looking together.

Chen Xi Ran was a little puzzled, feeling that each character had to be disassembled to see, as if many strokes of a character were not written by the same person.

Outside the study, Li Jin walked to the door of the kitchen, watching the teenager dressed in moon-white cloth, busy making dumplings in front of the chopping board.

The teenager noticed his gaze, and said, “There are only twenty of them left.”

Li Jin looked at the neatly arranged dumplings on the chopping board for a moment and then he cleaned his hands and walked into the kitchen. 

He opened the lid and said, “When the water starts boiling, I will cook some dumplings first.”

Qin Mu Wen said, “Aren’t you going to talk to your classmate?”

Li Jin said, “I talked to him all the way when I came back. I am a little tired now, so I’ll just take the time to cook some dumplings for you.”

Of course, Li Jin won’t let the guest wait. He just put the dumplings into the pot and went to the bedroom to pick up the little bun.

He actually took a little time out so he could see and talk to the teenager for a few minutes.

So, after talking to the teenager, Li Jin carried the newly swaddled bun to the study.

Chen Xi Ran was delighted when he saw the little child.

He said, “This kid really looks like you, very handsome and beautiful.”

And a little cinnabar mole on the eyebrows made the child look full of aura.

Hearing the compliment, Li Jin smiled and thanked him, “His nickname is Little Bun, and he will have an official name after the full moon.”

Chen Xi Ran said, “The name Little Bun is good and suitable for children. It is the name you choose at first glance. It’s unique.”

Indeed, in ancient times nicknames like “Elder Son” and “Second Son” were prevalent, and Little Bun was indeed unique.

Perhaps Chen Xi Ran’s voice was a little loud, hence the little bun unexpectedly woke up.

Children can’t recognize people, so they recognize smells.

The little bun was a little flustered when he could not smell the familiar smell, and crying soon came out.

Li Jin hurriedly took the little bun into his arms.

Then Chen Xi Ran saw Little Bun’s unique face-changing skills-

Just in a second, he stopped crying.

It was just that he cried a little miserably at first, so he looked slightly teary and red. 

It looked like Chen Xi Ran had bullied the child.

Seeing the tearful look on the child’s face, Chen Xi Ran was a bit stunned. 

If he wasn’t sure that this was really a kid who hadn’t reached the full moon yet, he would almost think that he was playing a prank on him.

Chen Xi Ran said, “It’s amazing, no one in your family will dare to bully this child in the future.”

With just this art of quickly changing face, whoever bullied him in the future would be unlucky.

Li Jin was quite proud of this.
