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

Nian rolled over on the sofa and lay down in his arms.

She's been working so hard these past few days to help take care of the child all for this moment!

"What would you like to play, sister?"

Bai Zhou embraced Nian and asked softly.

"do not know……"

Although she now had free time, Nian was shocked to find that she couldn't find anywhere to kill that time.

"Hmm, I've got it! Xiaobai, tell me about what happened this time."

When she returned, the story of the daytime was about subduing the demon soldier Phosphorus Fire, and she longed to hear the complete story.

as well as……

Find out who that silly kid who's been captivated by the little guy is.

"it is good."

Since Nian wanted to hear it, Bai Zhou was happy to tell her.

"..."

She listened attentively to his story, while playing with his hands and watching him with a smile.

What an idiot! Don't you know how many good kids your irresistible charm has unknowingly corrupted?

"That's it, sister."

Bai Zhou was very satisfied with this trip. Not only did he fulfill the people's wishes, but he also retrieved the lost demon soldiers. What made him even happier was that he had discovered a promising talent who, with proper training, would become a pillar of the nation.

"Hmph, it's just so-so, a tiny bit worse than my script."

As he leaned against him, shaking his head, he commented.

"Naturally, it can't compare to my sister's exciting story."

"That is...that is the culmination of my hundreds of years of experience!"

The year seemed oblivious to his own shortcomings as he laughed, and the daytime followed suit, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection.

……

"Sister, it's time to get up. We still have to go forge knives today."

A gentle call rang in her ears, and Nian waved her hand, uttering a muffled sentence.

"Then you should sleep a little longer, sister."

The calling stopped, and Nianba smacked his lips and slept even more soundly.

"Isn't Nian awake yet?"

Seeing that Bai Zhou had returned to the living room alone, Xi knew that Nian was using that trick of acting cute and refusing to stay in bed any longer.

"Hmm. There's nothing urgent today, so let my sister sleep a little longer."

Bai Zhou carefully packed Nian's breakfast in a thermal container, then sat down next to Xi to watch the movie with her.

“Ah Xi…”

Just as he was looking at it, Xi suddenly called out to him.

"I'm here, sir."

Hearing the response, Xi turned to her side and rested her head on his lap.

"I want to eat dried fruit."

"Hmm... Let me look, I've found it."

Bai Zhou took out a bottle of dried fruit from the snack bag next to him, opened it, picked out a piece and fed it to Xi.

“Ah Xi.”

"it is good."

Bai Zhou responded, then took Xi's outstretched hand.

Returning to the Seventy-Two Sisters' Affection (2)

"I feel like the chances of a successful year are slim."

After watching this action movie hailed as the best of the year, Xi was reminded of the script from years ago that had been dragging on for so long. The difference between the two is like a person standing on the ground looking up at both the sun and the stars.

“With my husband’s help, I don’t think the videos my sister makes will be too bad.”

"Too……"

Xi stopped talking about the old year's trivial matters and instead sat up from Bai Zhou's lap, changing her position to lean on his shoulder.

"Does Ah Xi have any good movie recommendations?"

Because he has been helping Nian with film scripts, Xi has also watched many well-known films and can now be considered a senior film critic.

"Hmm... Mad Max is pretty good, and this one too... blah blah blah."

After a moment of contemplation, I suggested a few films and TV series worth watching.

"Okay, let's start with the first one."

Although she had seen all of these before, she might as well revisit the classics again, not to mention that she had someone by her side this time.

"Well……"

When Nian came out for a drink of water, she caught a glimpse of the two people cuddling together on the sofa, and with a pout, she went back inside to continue sleeping soundly.

"Ah Xi, let's have something light for lunch."

Xi glanced at the time and, seeing that it was almost noon, gave a word of advice.

"Ah."

Bai Zhou didn't think much of it, assuming that Xi wanted to eat something light, so he readily agreed.

“Huijie has been eating a lot of spicy and oily food with Nian these past few days, so she needs to eat something light to soothe her stomach.”

"Uh-huh?"

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly.

If Xi had transferred all that oil and spice to Nian, it would probably mean that he'd been eating big bowls of meat and fish every day for the past few days, with bowls and bowls of chili peppers.

No wonder Xiao Huijie remained silent when I asked her yesterday.

"That's true. Huijie is still developing, and eating so much oily and spicy food is not good for her health."

It wouldn't be good if you got acne and then had acne scars.

……

"Huh? Why are there only vegetarian dishes?"

When Nian was woken up for lunch, he was surprised to see the zucchini, scrambled eggs, stir-fried green beans, mushrooms, and other vegetarian dishes on the table.

"Is there anything spicy? Or anything meat?"

"That's all."

Xi picked up a piece of mushroom from her rice bowl and ate it slowly, while Xiao Huijie, who had already guessed the reason, quietly ate the scrambled eggs with persimmons in front of her.

It's good to eat vegetarian food; at least it won't hurt.

"Ugh... okay, okay, vegetarian it is then."

Nian had just woken up and was still feeling a bit sluggish in terms of appetite and energy, so she didn't argue with Xi about the dishes and their flavors.

"Sister, have some soup to warm your stomach first."

During the day, he brought her a bowl of hot soup and placed it beside her, gently giving her instructions.

"Um……"

After quickly finishing his meal, Nian drank the remaining half bowl of soup and rubbed his stomach contentedly.

"You guys enjoy your meal, I'm leaving now."

After finishing his meal, Nian went to the sofa to digest, leaving the three of them to continue eating.

"I'm full too, Aunt Xi, Ancestor, please eat slowly."

Xiao Huijie put down her chopsticks and left the table to take a nap, leaving only the two of them at the table.

"Sir, is the food not to your liking?"

Looking at the half-eaten rice in Xi's bowl, Bai Zhou asked worriedly.

"No... I just ate a bit too much snack... You shouldn't eat snacks before a meal..."

Xi looked at the dishes in front of her with some reluctance.

Even though Ah Xi made so many delicious dishes, she still couldn't enjoy them.

"Sir, if you can't eat anymore, then don't eat anymore. You shouldn't overeat and ruin your health."

"I'm sorry, Ah Xi..."

Xi put down her bowl and apologized to Bai Zhou in distress.

"Sir, there's no need for such formality; it's just a meal."

During the day, he took her bowl and finished the rest of the rice.

We must not waste food.

"Waaah..."

Xi sat there blushing and watched Bai Zhou finish eating.

She felt like a child being disciplined by adults, needing their help even to eat.

“I am glad that you can rely on me, even for these little things.”

He wiped his mouth during the day, chuckled lightly, and got up to clear the dishes.
