Do you know me?

Before being reborn, Xu Mu could talk endlessly to Lu Feng, but after being reborn, although Lu Feng is still Lu Feng, she is somewhat different from the person who had a close relationship with him years later.

Facing the eleven-year-old Lu Feng, Xu Mu doesn't dare to speak and act as freely as before. He has reacquainted himself with Lu Feng and feels a strange unfamiliarity towards her, yet also a sense of closeness that is hard to let go.

Lu Feng is different from him. He was reborn, but Lu Feng was not. She doesn't remember their past relationship and doesn't treat Xu Mu any differently than others. So when Lu Feng quietly slapped him from behind, Xu Mu was so scared that he almost jumped up and scratched her with his claws!

Speaking of Lu Feng, this slap was not a greeting between acquaintances, nor was it meant to surprise Xu Mu. It was purely intended to scare him.

In the afternoon, Lu Feng and Ji Ruan came to "Sweet Delights". Li Shi was busy in the shop, running back and forth between the kitchen and the front hall in the middle of winter. Sweat trickled down his forehead, and a few strands of hair were dampened and stuck to the side of his face, which he gently brushed away with his fingers.

Ji Ruan saw this scene and couldn't help but swallow saliva, her fingers twitching.

Li Shi was so busy that he barely had time to acknowledge Ji Ruan and her niece with a smile when he caught sight of them.

People buying pastries lined up in one place, holding small bamboo baskets lined with oil paper, waiting for Li Shi to pack the pastries and settle the bill. Customers who hadn't made their selection yet were picking and choosing in the pastry area.

To prevent customers from touching these edible foods with their hands, there was a wide bamboo board clip placed in front of each pastry. Next to the pastries was a clean white porcelain plate, containing the corresponding type of pastry, cut into small pieces with a toothpick inserted into each one, allowing customers to taste before buying.

When Ji Ruan came yesterday, it was already dusk, and there were very few customers in the shop. Li Shi was about to close, so she directly accompanied Ji Ruan in selecting the pastries, and Ji Ruan didn't see these decorations.

Today, she wasn't in a hurry, lingering in front of various pastries, her eyes seemingly focused on them, but her peripheral vision kept glancing at Li Shi. If she saw that Li Shi was overwhelmed, Ji Ruan would quietly lend a hand without saying a word, which was enough to make Li Shi grateful and embarrassed.

Lu Feng glanced at Ji Ruan, who was being attentive, and she was different from her aunt, who had thoughts about Li Shi. Lu Feng came here today with a serious purpose.

A few light and fluttering talisman papers in her sleeve made Lu Feng feel particularly confident. With a sense of excitement and nervousness in her heart, she scanned the store but didn't see Xu Mu, causing her to furrow her brows.

Did he run away when he found out she was coming?

Looking at Li Shi, who was busy on the side, Lu Feng wanted to go directly and ask him, but she felt a bit guilty. After all, she suspected that his son was a demon. It wouldn't be appropriate to casually ask his father, "Where is your son? I want to take him in."

Besides, Lu Feng glanced at Ji Ruan, whose eyes seemed to be glued to Li Shi, and thought, could it be that Li Shi is also a demon? After all, he looks so beautiful. When they met yesterday, he even took away her aunt's soul.

Li Shi is a big demon, and his son is a little demon.

Lu Feng deeply felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.
