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

The shock of suddenly sleeping in the same bed as Xi was far greater than the joy.

During the day, he took off his outer robe and lay down on his side of the bed, still wearing his inner garment. He stared straight at the ceiling, trying to turn his head to look, but his neck seemed to be under a spell, tightly bound in place and unable to move.

Am I some kind of monster or a monstrous flood?

Xi glanced at the distant daylight and felt a sudden pang of sadness.

He was so fond of her tail in the afternoon, but now that night has fallen and they are even sleeping in the same bed, he seems to want to draw a line between them.

Lying on the pillow Nian had used, and covered with the blanket Nian had used, Xi unconsciously imagined how he and Nian usually interacted. They were so intimate, so warm, talking about everything, without any distinction between close and distant relatives.

If the person lying here tonight were Nian, perhaps they would already be embracing and pouring out their hearts to each other.

"Of course not, sir..."

Before Bai Zhou could finish speaking, Xi interrupted him.

"If you're not, why are you so far away from me? If you're not afraid of me, come closer."

Xi's words sounded calm and composed, but her hand, hidden under the covers, had already crumpled the bed sheet into a small ball.

"gentlemen……"

Bai Zhou paused for a moment, then slowly moved his body towards the center.

"It's getting late, go to sleep. We still have to work on the script for tomorrow."

Xi turned over, looked out the window, and pretended that she was about to fall asleep.

"...Yes. Good night, sir."

"..."

The room fell silent, and as if to avoid disturbing each other's sleep, both of them slowed their breathing.

"..."

Xi closed her eyes and lowered her ears contentedly.

As the tail gently caressed her, Xi drifted off to sleep with a sense of ease and joy.

■

"!"

Waking up from a rare, peaceful dream, the first thing I see when I open my eyes is not the window, but the sleeping face of the daytime.

She was so close that she only needed to tilt her head slightly to kiss his lips.

Xi remembered this result, which she had personally tested.

They're hugging me so tightly!

Xi tried twisting her waist, but then gave up on the idea of breaking free.

She was holding him too tightly during the day, and if she made too much noise, she would definitely wake him up. It was a rare day off, so it was good to let him sleep a little longer.

It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it...

Ah, its tail is probably numb.

The two tails were tangled together all night, and now they can't even move.

How did she become like this? Could it be that she's a restless sleeper and came over on her own? Or did it happen after she fell asleep and then daylight...? No, how could that be...?

Xi was troubled, but since Bai Zhou had not yet woken up, she could only bear this trouble herself.

"..."

Good morning, sir.

He hadn't planned to wake up during the day, but since he was already much later than usual, he had no choice but to release the warm, soft body in his arms.

"Um……"

Xi was still counting the lines on the corner of the daylight when he suddenly greeted her and she didn't react for a moment.

"Hmm, good morning... Ah Xi."

After a moment's hesitation, she chose a form of address that would bring him joy.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Bai Zhou happily got out of bed.

"That guy...didn't he come back all night?"

"perhaps……"

Bai Zhou kept his mouth shut and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hmm, this guy..."

Xi also got a clear look at what the living room looked like.

The red and white immortal they were talking to was lying sprawled out on a bamboo mat, fast asleep, with a pile of various storybooks scattered around him.

It seems that he studied for a long time before going to bed last night.

"Sister, the bamboo mat is getting cold, go back to your room and sleep."

Bai Zhou came to her side and picked up the fairy who was still dreaming.

"Hmm...it's Xiaobai...you don't need to make me breakfast, I'll eat it at noon..."

Even though she moved very quietly during the day, the quick-witted Nian still woke up. She groggily opened her eyes, saw that it was daytime, and then closed them again to continue sleeping.

"This guy..."

Xi looked at the mess that Nian had made of the bamboo mat, sighed helplessly, and then bent down to tidy it up.

Considering she didn't disturb their rest in the middle of the night and chose to sleep in the living room, let's tidy her up.

"Sir, please wash up first. Your toothbrush and toiletries are in the bathroom. The faucet has both hot and cold water; the red one is hot..."

After covering Nian with a blanket, Bai Zhou would remind her of some small things about washing and grooming.

"Yes, I've noted it all down. Ah Xi, go and call the child."

"it is good."

A dazed Chen staggered toward the bathroom as Bai Zhou called out to him, while he went to prepare breakfast for everyone.

A new day has begun, and the story of the Bai family continues.

All fifty-eight volumes can be read!

"Hoo..."

Nian walked out of the house yawning.

"I slept so soundly. Little White's bed is so soft. The floor is too hard, it hurts the base of my tail."

Nian walked to the table and sat down, then took the kettle and poured himself a glass of cold water.

"Ton! Ton! Ton!"

After downing a glass of cool boiled water, Nian let out a satisfied sigh and stretched her body comfortably like a cat.

"You idiot, there's a child here, can't you pay a little attention to your appearance?!"

While looking at the picture book, Xi glanced at Nian's tail wagging around and frowned slightly as she scolded him.

This ill-mannered fool, flaunting her curves like that, is she trying to be a seductive vixen to seduce respectable men?

"Sigh, is there anything we need to be careful about? It's just the four of us, Xiaobai."

Nian shrugged and replied nonchalantly, then grinned and moved closer to Bai Zhou to look at the small dish in front of him. To be precise, she looked at the peeled almonds inside.

"Hey, Xiaobai, can I have one?"

"Naturally."

After saying that, Bai Zhou placed the peeled almonds in his hand into a dish and gathered the broken almond pits into a trash bag.

"Huijie, are you ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready, Ancestor."

Upon hearing the call, the young dragon immediately straightened its posture, just like a tiger that had spotted a suitable prey and was ready to pounce.

"Okay, then..."

In an instant, Bai Zhou picked up an almond and threw it in the direction where the baby dragon was.

At that moment, the young dragon leaned out from under the table, its small face displaying a fierce expression, truly resembling a tiger ready to devour its prey.

"Awoo!"

Almonds turn into powder between the teeth and tongue, their sweet taste blending with saliva and moistening the throat.

(￣～￣) Chew!

"I got to eat it, ancestor."

The baby dragon wagged its tail happily.

"Huijie is great! But it's not over yet, watch out!"

As he spoke, Bai Zhou tossed the almond in his hand.

"Ah, there are two!"

The young dragon was slightly flustered, but she quickly regained her composure.

If there are two, I'm sure I can catch them if I try hard enough!

"Awoo!"

But the baby dragon was a step too slow. After successfully biting the first almond, the second almond also hit her forehead.
