Ming Jing nodded: “I understand.”

Tao Xingxing looked at Ming Jing curiously: “What’s wrong with you? It seems like you became a bit off after seeing this ivory. Do you like it? If you do, I can give it to you.”

Ming Jing shook his head: “This was given to you by your elder, and the gilded ivory contains his affection for you. Although you haven’t met him, all his thoughts about you are in it. So you can’t give it away casually; keep it as a memento.”

“Alright.” Tao Xingxing picked up the pendant and held it up to the sunlight.

“What kind of person was that uncle I’ve never met?” Tao Xingxing tried hard to recall, she should remember this person, but her memory was a blank.

Ming Jing’s eyes narrowed, and his expression turned dim.

At this moment, Wu Jiaqi knocked on the door: “Xingxing, it’s time for dinner.”

Wu Jiaqi pushed the door open and walked in. She saw the pendant in Tao Xingxing’s hand and her eyes suddenly constricted.

Tao Xingxing casually asked, “Mom, do you remember the uncle who gave me this pendant?”

Wu Jiaqi forced a smile: “Xingxing, why did you suddenly think of him?”

“My name is actually engraved on this ivory, and if Ming Jing hadn’t noticed it, I wouldn’t have known. It would be great if he were still alive.” Tao Xingxing said with a sigh.

Wu Jiaqi glanced at Ming Jing, her face slightly pale, and said between her lips, “Come out for dinner.”

She turned around and exited the room.

Tao Xingxing winked at Ming Jing: “I told you, every time I mention this uncle, my mom gets really sad. I won’t ask about him anymore.” Tao Xingxing stuffed the pendant under her pillow and pulled Ming Jing outside.

Ming Jing looked back at the direction of the pillow, his eyes growing increasingly colder.

That night, Jiangzhou Train Station was brightly lit and bustling with people.

A large number of passengers carrying luggage came out of the exit in groups, immediately encountered by ticket scalpers.

“Thirty yuan for a ride to Shidai Square, want to go?”

“Young man, where do you want to go? Over ten kilometers gets 20% off, absolutely convenient and fast…”

The young man glanced at him, and the scalper shuddered. Those clean and beautiful eyes inexplicably gave him a chill down his spine, as if he were being targeted by the grim reaper.

With that moment’s distraction, the young man walked past him with long strides.

The ticket scalper turned to look and saw the young man wearing all black, carrying a backpack, blending in with the night, cold and mysterious.

A gust of wind blew, and the ticket scalper shuddered.

“What kind of person is that? Doesn’t seem decent at all.” he muttered before beckoning the next passenger.

The young man continued walking along the side of the road, and his stomach suddenly rumbled. He looked up and saw a 24-hour fast food restaurant across the street with a few customers scattered around at ten o’clock at night.

The young man pushed the door and walked in. The waiter behind the counter, yawning, asked, “What would you like? We have a combo deal, scan the QR code to get a discount, ten yuan off for every twenty yuan spent.” The waiter pointed to the QR code nearby.

Looking up to see a handsome young man, the waiter’s eyes brightened instantly, and all sleepiness vanished.

The young man furrowed his brows, seemingly a bit confused. He pointed at the menu and said, “I want this family bucket meal.”

“Alright, that’s sixty-five yuan and nine cents. Please show the payment code.” The waiter held the scanner with an appropriately polite smile on their face.

Their inner thoughts were screaming: What a pretty and well-behaved young boy! How could his eyes be so beautiful! It’s melting my heart at just one glance.

The young man murmured, “Payment code? What’s that?”

“Uh…” The waiter felt a bit awkward. Was this pretty boy joking with her?

“Please take out your phone, open VX, click on the bottom right corner, and select payment. There’s a QR code that you can use for payment.” Usually, there would be some elderly people who were unfamiliar with paying by phone, and she had grown very proficient with helping them through the process.

The young man took out his phone and followed her instructions to open the payment code in VX.

The waiter scanned it, and the payment was successful.

The waiter couldn’t help but take a peek at the young man, who must have been joking with her just now.

While waiting for the food, the young man studied his phone. When Xiao Hoo left, Aunt Hong had trained him on how to quickly adapt to modern society. He had fallen asleep during class and missed some parts, but he remembered one thing: In modern society, the phone is vital, and almost everything can be solved with one device.

After fiddling with it for a while, he basically learned how to use it.

The family bucket was large enough for three people to eat. The moment he bit into the chicken leg and hamburger, his eyes suddenly widened.

It was so delicious!

Surrounded by shocked gazes from others, the young man quickly finished the meal and left.

The young man walked into a random hotel. The lady behind the counter was watching TV and said without looking up, “ID card.”

The young man took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it over. The lady took a look and suddenly looked up with wide eyes, staring at the handsome young man in front of her.

“Zhang Wei?” Why did such a handsome young man have such a common and unremarkable name? It felt like a waste of his good looks.

The young man nodded, “Yes, my name is Zhang Wei.”

It felt good to have a name.

No longer just a numeric code, but a name written on an ID card.

The young man smiled, his eyes curved like crescents, revealing two Xiao Hoo-like teeth. He looked cute and well-behaved, and the lady’s heart instantly softened.

“Here’s the room key. If you need anything, call the internal line, and I’ll bring it up to you.” The kind lady said thoughtfully.

The young man took the room key, and his eyes glanced at the tablet behind the lady.

On the screen, a girl in white was squatting by a stream, releasing two fish in the pouring rain. The camera zoomed in, showing the girl’s gentle and beautiful profile. The little boy next to her asked the question on everyone’s mind, “Sister, are you a Bodhisattva in human form?”

No audience would doubt it after seeing this scene.

The girl smiled gently. No one could resist being captivated by her ultimate gentleness and compassion.

“Don’t blaspheme the Buddha.”

Within the quiet hotel at night, the girl’s ethereal and gentle voice came softly, as if it could purify the soul and wash away all impurities.

The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura silently spread.

The lady suddenly felt a chill down her spine and, seeing the young man staring at the tablet, smiled and said, “You like watching this too, huh? This girl has become really popular recently. Everyone likes a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.”𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏(.)co/m

The young man nodded, “Yes.”

The young man smiled, revealing his two Xiaohu like teeth, looking cute and well-behaved. However, those beautiful eyes were like bottomless abysses, clean and pure but also incredibly dangerous.

The lady suddenly shivered, feeling that the good-looking young man had something eerie about him.

The young man turned and left, heading for his room.

“Zhu Mingjing, Zhu Mingjing,” the young man murmured.

As autumn grew colder, the wind swept the fallen leaves, the nights became chilly, and silence spread.

I don’t remember my own name; everyone calls me Eighteen.

From the time I had memories, I grew up in the mountains, enduring inhumane training.

That training was about how to kill people.

This is my first time leaving the mountains to carry out a mission in the city, my target is a sixteen year old girl.

“Click” The dart hit right between the girl’s eyebrows.

In the photo, the beautiful and gentle girl smiled with a lowered brow, stunning the passage of time.
