Xiao Feng walked into a decent-looking self-service hotpot restaurant nearby with two little beauties.

It seemed like Lin Jiaxuan was visiting such a place for the first time. After picking up a tray, she followed closely behind Mu Shihan, mirroring whatever Mu Shihan chose.

Mu Shihan chuckled and said, "Xuanxuan, you don't have to copy me. Just take what you like to eat. If you don't know what's good, take a little bit of everything, and if something tastes good, get more of it."

"Oh, okay!" Lin Jiaxuan nodded vigorously.

When they returned to their seats, Xiao Feng and Mu Shihan noticed that Lin Jiaxuan's tray was filled with vegetables—romaine, cabbage, bean curd skin—with not a piece of meat in sight.

"Don't you like eating meat?" Mu Shihan asked curiously.

Lin Jiaxuan shook her head and replied, "Meat is too expensive, not worth it. I'm fine with just these."

"Xuanxuan, this is a buffet. Once we've paid, we can eat anything. If everyone ate like you, the restaurant owners would be ecstatic." Mu Shihan said with a laugh and a cry.

After speaking, Mu Shihan added, "I'm not saying we have to eat to get our money's worth, but at least half of it, right? Otherwise, it's like wasting money."

"Then I'll go get some more things." Lin Jiaxuan nodded, only half-understanding, and left her seat with her head down.

Mu Shihan called out, "Bring back three servings of sesame sauce."

"Okay!" Lin Jiaxuan turned back to agree.

Xiao Feng watched Lin Jiaxuan's retreating figure, clicking his tongue, "She's really good at pretending, it's a waste if she doesn't become an actress."

"How do you know Xuanxuan is pretending?" Mu Shihan was displeased.

"No, do you really consider her your sister?" Xiao Feng was a bit puzzled, this was the first time the little girl stood up so fiercely for someone.

While putting food into the pot, Mu Shihan replied, "Why not? Back at home, I'm the youngest, and I've always wanted a younger brother or sister. Meeting Xuanxuan feels like fate."

Xiao Feng wanted to say something else, but before he could, they heard an angry shout from not far away: "Whose kid is this?"

Xiao Feng and Mu Shihan followed the sound and saw Lin Jiaxuan repeatedly bowing to a couple, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"

The couple looked like they were dating, and the woman pointed to her bag, "I don't care if you meant it or not, do you know how much this bag cost? Bring your parents over, I want to ask how they raised you, walking without looking where you're going, are you blind?"

"My... my parents have long passed away." Lin Jiaxuan replied after a long silence.

"No wonder you walk without looking, born and raised without any upbringing!" The man cursed angrily.

At that, Mu Shihan slammed the table and walked briskly towards the couple.

At this moment, Lin Jiaxuan suddenly looked up and said, "You can scold me, but don't insult my parents!"

"Little girl, still have the nerve to talk back, I see you just need a lesson." The man rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand high, poised to hit Lin Jiaxuan.

The surrounding people were taken aback and started to censure, "This guy is really making a mountain out of a molehill. If her parents were here, would he dare to speak like that?"

"Exactly, isn't it just a bag? How much could it cost?"

"That's not correct, if it's a luxury item, it could cost hundreds of thousands."

"Hmph, if you can afford a bag worth hundreds of thousands, would you be eating at a place like this?"

"That's true, indeed!"

Lin Jiaxuan showed a look of terror on her face, quickly turning her head to one side, trying to dodge the slap.

At that moment, Mu Shihan leaped forward to shield her, shouting, "You dare to bully my sister?!"

"You're her sister?" The man paused his action, slowly lowering his raised arm.

"Yes, I'm her sister. As long as I'm here today, no one can bully my sister!" Mu Shihan declared with overwhelming dominance.

Mu Shihan didn't notice that as she said this, a hint of indescribable complexity flashed in Lin Jiaxuan's eyes behind her.

For a moment, Lin Jiaxuan seemed to return to her childhood, recalling a time when, being bullied and ridiculed, someone stood in front of her, saying those words with an undoubtable tone.

After that, she embarked on a bloody path, countless cries, innumerable slaughters, carving out a fearsome reputation!

But at this moment, Lin Jiaxuan, or Blood Nightmare, never expected to hear these words again, many years later.

Instantly, all her frustration vanished, leaving only a touch of emotion and complex feelings.

The reason for her frustration was because Lin Jiaxuan had been tirelessly taught common words by Mu Shihan all morning.

For someone who is illiterate, it wouldn't matter, but for someone who can read, it's a bit torturous.

As she was thinking about it, they heard the man say, "Since you're her sister, there's no need for us to waste words. Do you see my girlfriend's bag? It cost 1000 yuan. Now look at it. What do you propose we do?"

Mu Shihan's gaze shifted to the purse in the woman's hand, seeing it covered in sesame sauce, with its contents spilled all over the floor from the dropped tray.

"How about I clean it for you?" Mu Shihan suggested, "Anyway, sesame sauce smells great, it's not something dirty."

"Clean?" The woman exclaimed, "My bag cost 1000 yuan, it's genuine leather, can't get wet. If I get sesame sauce on your bag and clean it up, would you like it?"

"Sure, I'd love it!" Mu Shihan replied earnestly, "I'll go get my bag for you."

At this statement, everyone present was speechless. Who would have thought Mu Shihan would respond like this?

The onlookers, looking at the woman's face turning pale with anger, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xiao Feng also found it amusing. In some ways, Mu Shihan was quite similar to him, often acting unpredictably and speaking astonishing words!

Shortly after, Mu Shihan returned with her small backpack and approached the woman, "Here you go! My sister dirtied your bag, so you can dirty mine, and we'll call it even."

"What kind of junk bag is this?" The woman pushed Mu Shihan's bag back, muttering to herself, "Yours looks like something from a street stall, mine costs 1000 yuan..."

She was still speaking when Mu Shihan took out her phone, operated it for a moment, and then showed the screen to her, "Look closely, that's the price of my bag."

"Huh, isn't it just 300 yuan?" The woman crossed her arms and sneered, "300 and 1000, that's more than three times the difference."

"Auntie, take a closer look, my 300 is in Euro." Mu Shihan said coldly.

At these words, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. After a while, someone said, "300 euros is roughly equivalent to..."

"No need to calculate." A person next to them took out their phone and said, "Based on the current exchange rate, it's roughly 2347.14."

With this conclusion, everyone's perception was overturned once again, no one expected such a reversal.

The woman's face turned red with embarrassment, thinking about how she'd been emphasizing her bag cost 1000 yuan, only for the other person to pull out a bag worth over 2000. And with the mention of the jarring "Auntie", her face burned as if she'd been slapped hard.
