Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"When Director Bing Nian betrayed us, I never thought of using Director Bethlia."

I feel guilty about their sacrifice, but Shuzao, you were also at fault. If you had even half of Director Bethlia's sense of responsibility, so many Sentinels wouldn't have died.

He couldn't have saved so many lives on his own, therefore, she was also at fault, and a great one at that.

If she trusted herself like Bethlia did, things might turn around.

And Mingyou and Mumai, why don't they believe him?

"Mingye, ask yourself honestly, would you trust a speaker who schemes against you?"

In the first negotiation, you cooperated with both sides and schemed relentlessly. I was tired of living and listened to you; I wouldn't even know how I died.

In a fit of anger, they stopped using respectful terms of address for each other.

"I don't have half her sense of responsibility, so why do you use her? She only knows how to come to me when there's a problem. What kind of speaker is she? She'd be better off as a call center operator."

"Shu Zao, how many times has this happened? Tell me how many times this has happened. Do you even respect me as the speaker?"

She was on speakerphone, but she didn't give her any face at all.

I really want to kill her.

"No!!!"

Mingye hung up the phone, unable to say anything, knowing that she would hurl even harsher insults later.

My heart can't take it.

Shu Zao walked towards the door. As she passed Bethlia, she lifted her leg, pinched the hem of her skirt, and her high heels were revealed.

"Hey, our shoes are the same height." But you only reach my neck.

"You!!!" Iwatsu stepped forward and hugged Bethelia.

Shu Zao doesn't even give Ming Ye any face. She's crazy. If you provoke a madman, he might really kill you.

"Yuanli, let's get together sometime. I didn't expect we'd wake up around the same time."

"We're not going to meet up anymore. Stay with your mentor; she's your trump card."

Their relationship wasn't good a thousand years ago.

"Okay, you and your mentor work hard, then we won't need to intervene."

Xingyao stood in front of Yuanli with a humble smile on his face: "The next crisis will be your turn to take action. My mentor isn't as obedient as yours."

That's not called a sense of responsibility.

Having a spirit of dedication is a good thing, but it's wrong for Mingye and his group to use Shuzao to raise their own status.

No sooner had Shu Zao and his sentinels left than Xian Yue'an and her sentinels arrived at the laboratory.

At that time, Bethlia and the others had not yet left.

"Good morning, good morning." Xian Yue'an stood at the door looking at Bethelia.

She took two steps back. Yes, it was true; the sign next to the door said "Laboratory."

"Commander Jiali, where is Shuzao?"

"Director Xianyue and Director Shuzao just left." The two of them took the elevator and parted ways.

"Okay, thank you." Crescent Moon Ann turned to leave.

"Are you another special guide for Maurice Dubonne White Tower?"

"Yes, hello, is there something you need? Why don't you come out and talk? This lab belongs to Shuzao, it's not appropriate for you to be standing here without her."

She felt uncomfortable looking at it.

"Can't she come into her lab? She doesn't touch anything."

Qingchu tried to drag them out, wondering why Mingye had assigned him to show Bethlia and the others around. He hadn't noticed, and they'd ended up here.

"Director Shu Zao has a strong sense of boundaries. Entering her territory without her permission can easily anger her."

"She's so arrogant, even more impulsive than me."

Xian Yue'an put herself in Xian Yue's shoes and said, "Would you like it if I wandered around your room?"

"What's wrong with taking a stroll? You can come anytime. I'm going to stay here for a few days," Bethlia said, forcing herself to speak.

"Okay, don't be a sore loser." She went back and set an alarm to go shopping at dawn!

As night deepened, Crescent Moon's alarm clock rang. She dressed and strode wickedly toward Bethlia's residence, her personal sentry quietly following behind her.

Shu Zao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Mingye must still have some trump card up his sleeve; she needs to stay calm if anything happens in the future.

Some giants choose to squat, sit, or lie down, but she, a dwarf, reached for the sky.

This is wrong. We all need to work together to support the nation! Her shoulders are too fragile; she can't hold on for long by herself.

After Xian Yue An finished dealing with Bethlia, she went back to sleep, while Shu Zao was still awake.

"Damn, I can't sleep at all." Tap the screen to send a message.

"Ding-dong."

[Shuzao]: Who among you is still awake?

She didn't tag any of her dedicated sentinels; it was all up to fate, and she couldn't do anything about sleeping with them all.

She didn't want to go to the training room to train either.

【泊宥】: I.

[Shuzao]: Are you sleepy?

【泊宥】: I have insomnia and can't sleep.

[Shuzao]: Come to my room.

[Fu Yuan]: I didn't sleep either.

【Boyou】：@Shuzao, I'm at the door.

[Shuzao]: @Fuyuan, go to bed early, don't stay up too late, it's bad for your health.

[Fu Yuan]: ...Okay, don't stay up too long.

It's a little slow, just a little slow, ahhh!

Shu Zao sat cross-legged on the bed, kneading a mini version of a glutinous rice candy. The little guy's paws were tugging at her hand, which Shu Zao found very endearing. Bo You also sat cross-legged facing her.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Bo You swallowed hard. "I know." He felt a little embarrassed to leave the light on, but he was even more embarrassed to ask Shu Zao to turn it off.

What if she likes it?

"Are you planning to sit here all night?"

Bo You approached Shu Zao at a snail's pace, and Shu Zao picked up Nuo Tang and took a few steps to close the distance between them.

"If you don't want to, you can leave." She took the initiative, and she didn't like his response.

"I do." Bo You's lips touched Shu Zao's lips. He made up his mind, turned around, got out of bed, turned off the light, and got back into bed in one smooth motion.

Shu Zao thought he was going to run away and was even planning to call Fu Yuan.

Bo You pulled the blanket over himself, and Shu Zao was pinned down by him. "If there's anything I did wrong, just tell me."

While they were talking, he moved the glutinous candy out of the quilt.

What's it doing in there? It's in the way!

"Okay, I'll try it."

Midway through, Shuzao's foot touched Nuotang, and Nuotang's soft body pressed against the back of her foot.

Before she could roll over, a hand appeared on Shuzao's calf, and her foot disappeared.

Glutinous sugar:………

"Is it stuffy?" Bo You opened the blanket a little to let Shu Zao breathe.

"A little, but it's acceptable."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Shu Zao put her hand on Bo You's shoulder. "Are you asking me if I'm comfortable?"

"Cough cough cough, um."

"very good."

To Bo You, these words were an affirmation of him.

Shu Zao never expected that Bo You, despite his young age, would have the deepest contact with her.
