The elderly man that Zhen Jinghan spoke of was naturally none other than Old Jiu.

And when you think about it, Zhao Fengyun really is quite a talent, designing schemes to deal with girls inexperienced in the ways of the world, with a pretty decent success rate.

Although nowadays most people say that true love doesn't exist anymore, and that money is the only thing truly loved, saying it doesn't mean they don't long for true love in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhao Guo'an placed a small porcelain bottle on the table and looked at Xiao Feng: "Here's the result you wanted, the Strong Mint Candy. You can try one."

After speaking, a trace of insidiousness flashed through his eyes, barely noticeable.

Xiao Feng said expressionlessly, "You eat first. I'll see how you react before I say anything."

"I've already eaten, and it tastes really nice. When there's something good, it's natural to share with everyone. Don't be shy, anyone who wants one can take one," Zhao Guo'an said with a generous demeanor.

"Does it really taste that good?" the little girl licked her lips, tempted.

Xiao Feng opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a Strong Mint Candy, and observed it in his palm.

On the surface, it was about the same size as an ordinary candy ball, transparent in color, looking like common rock sugar at first glance.

Thinking about it, since it was for himself to eat, Xiao Feng confirmed, "This stuff doesn't have any side effects, right? Like causing diarrhea after eating?"

"No, no, you'll know once you eat it," Zhao Guo'an shook his head, denying.

At this moment, Lin Jiaxuan walked in on crutches: "What are you guys doing?"

Xiao Feng quickly poured himself a cup of tea and called out to Zhao Guo'an before walking out of the room.

Lin Jiaxuan, clutching her crutches, walked to the cup of tea Xiao Feng poured, picked it up, and drank it.

It's got to be said, this has become a habit for her, the price being frequent trips to the bathroom than before.

Yet, to Lin Jiaxuan, it was a sweet pleasure, akin to a vengeful thrill whenever she drank Xiao Feng's tea.

However, just this sip of tea left her frozen on the spot.

"Clatter!"

Her crutches fell to the ground.

Lin Jiaxuan felt a chill rushing to her head, her facial expression system completely out of control, but that was just the beginning.

As the tea entered her mouth, even breathing became incredibly cold, and her whole body started to shiver uncontrollably.

"Xuanxuan, what's wrong with you?" the little girl hurriedly supported Lin Jiaxuan, eyes full of concern.

Lin Jiaxuan didn't reply, just kept shivering as if she was in an icy wilderness.

Lu Yao and the little girl exchanged a glance, both recognizing the oddity in each other's eyes.

Though it's almost the coldest part of winter now, it shouldn't be this cold indoors, should it?

The next moment, Lin Jiaxuan's tears started to fall "pitter-patter," like a torrential downpour, unstoppable.

"Xuanxuan, don't cry, say something," the little girl said anxiously.

With tear-dimmed eyes, Lin Jiaxuan roared with grief in her heart: I don't want to cry either, but the problem is... I can't control it.

This feeling is like cutting onions, or eating lemons, or taking a big bite of mustard, but the effect is more than ten times stronger than these three combined.

Zhen Jinghan stared at Lin Jiaxuan blankly: "Her, her reaction like this..."

"Jinghan, do you know something?" the little girl immediately asked.

Zhen Jinghan nodded: "Earlier, when Zhao Guo'an finished making the candy, he ate one and started shivering all over, with tears falling continuously. Her reaction now is exactly the same as Zhao Guo'an's."

"Candy?"

The little girl and Lu Yao exclaimed simultaneously, exchanging a glance, both seeming to realize something.

"Xiao Feng... I'm going to fight you to the death!"

Lin Jiaxuan shouted angrily, immediately wanting to confront Xiao Feng, but her injuries hadn't fully recovered, and as she took a step, she almost stumbled to the ground.

Lin Zhiyan, busy finishing the meal in the kitchen, heard her sister's voice and came out, only to see Xiao Feng and Zhao Guo'an talking in the yard, with no sign of her sister.

"What's going on?" Lin Zhiyan frowned slightly.

Xiao Feng looked innocent: "I don't know, we've been talking in the yard."

Supported by the little girl and Lu Yao, Lin Jiaxuan reached the doorway and upon hearing Xiao Feng's deliberately obtuse statement, nearly blacked out: "You, you dare say you don't know?"

Xiao Feng turned, seeing Lin Jiaxuan crying like a drenched chicken, he sternly asked Lu Yao and the little girl: "Which one of you bullied little Lin Jiaxuan?"

"..." Lu Yao.

"..." The little girl.

Seeing her sister like this, Lin Zhiyan was startled, quickly stepping forward, helping wipe her sister's tears and asking, "What on earth happened?"

While asking, she was also very curious about what could possibly make her sister cry like this.

Bear in mind, with multiple fractures before, Lin Jiaxuan could endure that intense pain, yet now she's like this, surely it's not just a trivial matter.

"Sis, say nothing, today either he dies, or I do!" Lin Jiaxuan bit her teeth viciously, saying: "In short, it's either him or me!"

In fact, Xiao Feng was just as shocked by Lin Jiaxuan's appearance, while also greatly relieved that he didn't trust Zhao Guo'an's words; otherwise, he might be the tearful one now.

"You..." Zhao Guo'an looked at Lin Jiaxuan's tearful face, reminded of himself an hour ago, and asked, "Did you eat the bottle of mint candy on the table?"

But Lin Jiaxuan couldn't listen, insistently wanting to confront Xiao Feng.

After a commotion, the truth finally came to light.

According to Xiao Feng, he put the mint candy into the teacup, intending to test the effect later, but Lin Jiaxuan drank it first.

Naturally, Lin Jiaxuan wouldn't accept this, tearfully demanding, "Why didn't you tell me in advance if you put something in?"

Xiao Feng burst into laughter: "That's unreasonable. I didn't plan for you to drink it, why should I tell you in advance?"

"Touch your conscience, do you believe that yourself?" Lin Jiaxuan said, still fuming.

Xiao Feng placed his right hand over his heart and said seriously, "Yes."

Lin Zhiyan frowned and looked at Zhao Guo'an, asking, "How long will her condition last?"

"About half an hour," Zhao Guo'an replied.

Xiao Feng took out his phone and said with a smile, "There's a fiery sunset today. Such a rare moment, I suggest we take a group photo."

Everyone was speechless, not believing Xiao Feng's claim about the rare sunset.

But before anyone could question, Xiao Feng had already gathered everyone together: "Come on, one, two, three, cheese."

"Click!"

In the photo, the backdrop was a fiery red sunset.

Xiao Feng had an exceptionally bright smile, while everyone else's smiles were clearly forced, and at the very bottom of the image, there was teary-eyed Lin Jiaxuan.
