Qin Muwen took out the sachet he had sewn long ago and, bending over, tied it to Li Jin's belt with care.

The sachet had a slightly darker color, which complemented Li Jin's attire for the day. Tassels dangled from the end of the sachet. Li Jin glanced at it, finding it somewhat familiar, and asked, "Did you make the tassel yourself?"

Qin Muwen nodded.

Li Jin remarked, "Wenwen, you're quite skilled with your hands."

Qin Muwen replied, "If you like it, I can make a fan pendant or a sword tassel as well."

Li Jin said, "A fan pendant would be nice, but you can skip the sword tassel. I don't know how to wield a sword."

Qin Muwen nodded, and it was clear from his expression that he was already earnestly planning the design of a fan pendant.

Little Bun had been awake for a while, initially a bit drowsy, but after Li Jin's victory, he became excited and content.

Later, as Li Jin was walking, he noticed that many people who had called out his name hadn't had the chance to greet him yet. So, he picked up Little Bun and approached them.

This route happened to lead toward where the Mountain Leader and Wan Jiaoyu were sitting. By moving a little further, they could get a panoramic view of Ningxing Academy.

Li Jin had brought Qin Muwen along this path to introduce him to his academy.

Wan Jiaoyu greeted first, saying, "Ah Jin, you've brought Little Bun out today."

Li Jin gently placed Little Bun down and then bowed respectfully to both the Mountain Leader and Wan Jiaoyu. Qin Muwen followed suit.

Li Jin explained, "With the warm weather today, it's the perfect time for a family outing." He proceeded to introduce his husband and child to the Mountain Leader.

Li Jin then squatted down to talk to Little Bun, saying, "Call him Grandpa Shan Chang."

Little Bun, while obedient, had a soft voice. He responded, "Hello, Grandpa Shan Chang."

Mountain Leader smiled and replied, "Hello, Little Bun."

Li Jin continued, "Little Bun, do you remember this uncle?" He pointed towards Wan Yun.

Little Bun looked at Li Jin and only spoke after receiving a nod, "Uncle."

Shan Chang playfully stroked his beard and said, "Well done, a smart child."

Wan Yun felt a little disheartened and remarked, "He forgot about me..."

Little Bun stood on the ground, confused as to why he was being so good, yet his father still wasn't holding him. He tugged at Li Jin's robe, his big eyes filled with sadness.

Li Jin quickly scooped Little Bun into his arms, and the two pairs of identical eyes were now in the same frame: one radiating affection and tenderness, the other expressing innocence and hurt feelings.

This stark contrast between Li Jin's demeanor with his child and his usual serious self added a soft aura to him. Along with the red headband he hadn't removed, it smoothed out a lot of his seriousness. In the Mountain Leader's mind, the term "good son-in-law" suddenly surfaced.

The Mountain Leader thought to himself that recently, he had heard his daughter-in-law mention the process of selecting a husband for their granddaughter so often that everyone's thoughts were trending in this direction.

But, looking at Li Jin's demeanor - serious and diligent with others, gentle and patient with his family - he indeed seemed like an excellent potential son-in-law.
