I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"Are you referring to that 'practice piece' that was just a few strokes done casually?"

Bai Zhou pointed to the graffiti he had placed in the corner and asked Tong Xi.

"...No, that's not it!"

“It’s another one, you know, I never keep defective ones.”

Xi couldn't tolerate being spoken to like that, so she slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and threw the graffiti outside.

"Gah?"

It seems one of the gnats was unfortunately hit.

"Ah."

Bai Zhou nodded slightly, and seeing this, Xi Xin was delighted.

"But I refuse."

"what?"

Xi looked at him, puzzled.

How could this be! The little one isn't listening to her!

“I have seen your employment report, sir.”

Bai Zhou stood up and came to Xi.

Her 1.85-meter height easily covered Xi, who was only 1.62 meters tall.

"Do you know how the medical staff evaluate you, sir?"

"Well……"

Xi turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze.

She was well aware that it was one of her few dark moments in her history.

Compared to Nian, who left everyone at Rhodes Island stunned, her pre-employment physical examination was downright disastrous. Even the kids at Rhodes Island were better than her…

"So what...so what..."

That's just how she is; there's no way to change her.

"The weather is lovely today, sir."

Bai Zhou held Xi's hand and cupped her cheek with his other hand.

"Come for a walk with me, sir."

"...This is really troublesome."

Evening was easily brought out of the painting by daylight.

"Ugh, so tired..."

Bai Zhou looked helplessly at Xi, who was practically hanging on his arm.

"Sir, we've only just walked through a small corridor; the purchasing department is still quite a distance away."

"I can't take it anymore, Ah Xi... I don't want to go..."

Before Xi could finish speaking, Bai Zhou had already picked her up.

"Sir, I'm really curious how you usually get your movies."

Bai Zhou, carrying Xi who had inexplicably stopped working, walked toward Kroos's shop.

"Huh? That's..."

"That one is... from Yan Kingdom?"

"Who is that person he's holding? I don't think I've ever seen her before."

"Hmm, it looks familiar, but I can't remember."

The operators passing by all cast curious glances at them.

"Ugh, I hate it..."

Xi nestled in Bai Zhou's arms, burying her face in his chest, not wanting to see or hear anything.

"Sir, you really need to get out and exercise."

Bai Zhou didn't care about the operators' stares at her, and even smiled as she responded to their greetings.

"I don't know anyone here, so I don't want to."

"...That's true."

Thinking about the carefree personality of Xi's closest person, Bai Zhou shook his head helplessly.

"Sir, how about I accompany you when you go out for exercise in the future?"

"Ugh... I'll think about it..."

"Then it's settled."

They walked along, asking questions but not answering them, carrying Xi all the way to the purchasing department.

"Oh! Isn't this the famous Mr. Daylight? What brings you to our humble shop today?"

Kroos was watching something on the small television when she was greatly surprised to see Daylight enter.

"Oh? Miss Xi too? Oh, right, we have some DVDs arriving today. Since you've come to pick them up in person, I'll get them for you right away."

"Mr. Bai, what brings you here?"

After bringing up a DVD box, Kroos looked at the daylight again.

"I came with my husband to pick up some things."

Bai Zhou didn't give Kroos a chance to sell, picked up the DVD box, and left with Xi in his hand.

"Don't walk so fast."

Even though Xi was holding onto Bai Zhou with both hands, she was still being pulled forward quickly.

"Sir, how exactly did you manage to bring this DVD back?"

After leaving the purchasing department, Bai Zhou slowed down. He picked up the box of DVDs. The discs inside weren't heavy, but considering Xi's current physical strength, he was very curious.

“There’s a bite.”

Xi answered matter-of-factly, even with a hint of pride.

"..."

Bai Zhou sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright, Ah Xi, let's go back and watch the movie."

Xi is already eager to see the new film.

"Sir, don't forget, we didn't come out here just to get this."

Bai Zhou's words poured cold water on Xi.

She felt her hands and feet were ice cold even in the middle of summer, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't go out! I want to go back!"

She didn't want to waste her time talking meaningless things with those ordinary people.

“Not with anyone else, sir.”

Daylight embraces the evening.

"It's just the two of us, sir."

“If you don’t want to exert yourself, I can carry you on my back or hold you in my arms.”

"..."

Unable to refuse Bai Zhou's request, Xi nodded in agreement after much deliberation.

"Sir, let's take a stroll around Rhodes Island."

During the day, he didn't say where he was going, nor did he ask where he was going in the evening.

Holding Xi's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, Bai Zhou led her slowly along.

They didn't say anything more; they no longer needed words to maintain their relationship.

"Sir, would you like some ice cream?"

I saw an ice cream vending machine during the day and, as usual, prepared to buy one.

"Ah."

Xi likes that icy and sweet taste.

So when she left, she had a creamy ice cream in her hand.

"Ah Xi, have an ice cream cone."

After eating the cream, Xi smiled mischievously and handed the crispy cone to Bai Zhou.

"Sir, feed me."

During the day, he bent down and opened his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"Sir, it's delicious."

"Hmm~".

Bai Zhou did not take Xi Man Island for a stroll during the day.

There wasn't much to see in the cabin, and the places that could be visited were too crowded for Xi to enjoy. So, Bai Zhou simply took Xi for a short walk as a workout preview before carrying her back into the painting.

"Quick, Ah Xi, come watch a movie!"

She looked exhausted and exhausted outside, but as soon as she returned to Hualixi, she became lively again.

"Sir, you're coming."
