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

"The old man looks like the old woman..."

When the little one was a mischievous child and caught a cold, her tummy would hurt. That's how her grandma would talk to her while rubbing her tummy to relieve the pain.

But... I can no longer see my grandmother.

The baby killer whale looked at the person beside it and suddenly felt very wronged.

I've tried so hard to kill the enemy, so why can't those people even protect their own people?

Grandma... Mom... Sister...

"Old man..."

"Cry... good child... cry it out, and you'll feel better."

Bai Zhou sighed, gently shook his head, and hugged the little guy tightly.

The moon is very dim tonight, and the small lights in the room are not turned on.

The clock ticked away, and the little one's body trembled with each tick. The tiny cries mingled with the ticking of the clock hands, making it hard to tell whether time was truly passing.

The faint sob only subsided after the clock had moved a fifth of a notch.

"Grandpa... could you... keep me company...?"

"of course."

"Then... old man... you can..."

The little one's voice grew softer and softer, but luckily, Bai Zhou's hearing was better, and he heard what she said clearly.

"Okay, Titi is good..."

During the day, he held her in one arm and gently stroked the little one's head with the other.

"..."

The baby killer whale seemed much happier; its trembling breathing from crying had calmed down, but it held on even tighter, unwilling to leave that warm embrace.

"Little White seems to be very popular with children."

After calming the baby killer whale down during the day, Nian Chong, who was leaning back on the sofa drinking hawthorn juice to aid digestion, said this as he came out of her room.

"I just have some experience in taking care of children."

Thinking back to the few little ones he had cared for, Bai Zhou chuckled softly and sat down next to Nian.

"Did you have a good drink today, sister?"

Bai Zhou poured himself a glass of hot water and then raised the glass to Nian.

"That's enough, that's enough, I can't drink anymore. Okay, Xiaobai, I was wrong, please forgive my stomach."

Nian saw through the meaning behind Bai Zhou's words and quickly begged for mercy.

Bai Zhou stopped teasing her, leaned back on the sofa, and drank a sip of hot water.

“I know my older sister did it for her own good.”

"Hehe, I know, Xiaobai. But that kid is gentle, but also very stubborn... or rather, a bit naive."

Nian continued, following up on Bai Zhou's words: "You have to be a little firm with a child like this to get her to talk, otherwise she will just keep those emotions bottled up inside and will never show them."

"At least... they wouldn't reveal it to a stranger like me."

Nian poked Bai Zhou's hand.

How does it feel to be trusted by a child?

"It's pretty good."

"Right?"

Nian looked at him and chuckled.

After that, Nian didn't utter a single coherent word all night...

The next day, the little orca sat down at the table with Xiao Huijie on time, looking in good spirits and showing no signs of a hangover.

It's no wonder he has such a constitution.

During the day, he prepared porridge and steamed buns for the two of them, and then went to wake Xi up.

Don't worry about the year; after all, you can't wake someone who wants to stay in bed.

"Huijie has her exam this week, right?"

"Ah."

The little guy puffed out his cheeks, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, swallowed it with a steamed bun, and then complained with some distress: "We could have started a month earlier, but for some reason we had to make up for two more weeks of classes."

"Fine, they'll give extra lessons, but they won't even give us time to review... Grandpa, why can't the school schedule extra lessons after the exams? I really don't understand what that principal was thinking."

"Uh-huh."

During the day, he listened and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, students are already under a lot of pressure as the end of the semester approaches, and then they encounter such a bizarre arrangement. Who can tolerate this?

"Huijie, do well on your exams. I'll take you to the capital for a few days during the holidays. We'll bring Xiaota along too."

Bai Zhou plans to bring another little one back for the New Year.

Let's get together as much as possible before the little one's career takes off, because it will be hard to come back once his career takes off.

Bai Zhou didn't want either of his children to be away from home next Chinese New Year, so he sat in front of the TV and sighed, "Being busy is good."

As he gets older, he sometimes tries to act like an old man when faced with these situations.

"Ancestor! It's true!"

Upon hearing Bai Zhou's words, the little guy instantly perked up, and the entire little dragon seemed to ignite.

"Of course it's true. Our whole family will go together then."

"Yes, don't worry, Ancestor, I will definitely come back with good results!"

After saying that, the little guy ate the last bun in a few bites, put on his school uniform, picked up his schoolbag, and ran off.

"This child..."

Bai Zhou gently shook his head, then looked at the little killer whale that served as the mascot.

"Old man?"

The baby orca put down the bowl and tilted its head in confusion.

"Come with me later, I have a gift for Skadi."

"Um……"

Although he agreed, the little orca didn't seem very happy for some reason.

"Take her there, Ah Xi, I'll clean up the table."

"Thank you for your trouble, sir."

Gotti, 87

"Old man!"

The little orca followed closely behind Bai Zhou. Then she saw Bai Zhou open the door, and suddenly her view changed from inside the house to the wild. This sudden change made the little girl grab Bai Zhou's arm involuntarily.

"Don't panic, it's just a little spell the master set up in his room."

Bai Zhou smiled gently, trying to comfort her.

"Is it Aunt Xi's magic? It's so amazing..."

The little girl didn't know how to address the two women, so she followed Xiao Huijie's way of addressing them. Nian Yuxi also happily accepted this form of address.

“Agor doesn’t have magic…that’s right, they don’t care about it.”

Bai Zhou didn't mention it again and took the baby killer whale to the small courtyard not far away.

He clapped his hands, and within seconds two yaks came running over, each dragging a heavy box.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

The baby orca touched one of the approaching orcas and looked curiously at the long box it was carrying.

"That box contains Skadi's new weapon."

During the day, he walked over and took the carrying strap from Abyss's mouth. He shook off the remaining ink, then picked it up and tossed it to Skadi.

"We'll look at the weapons later, Skadi, take a look at this first."

The little orca caught the box, and its light weight made her even more curious, so she quickly opened it.

"It's new clothes!"

Inside the box was a beautiful red dress and a pair of white boots. Besides that, the little orca immediately spotted the hat.

That blue hat, shaped like a small boat, and that familiar dorsal fin...

very nice.

"For Skadi to become a singer, she must first create a unique style that makes people remember her at a glance, making her completely different from other singers."

Bai Zhou originally intended to prepare a costume for the little girl, but considering that the two elements did not match, forcibly piecing them together would only result in an incongruous thing. So, based on Nian's suggestion and recent fashion shows from various countries, he designed this singer's costume.

This hat was the item he put the most effort into.

The hat design is a culmination of careful consideration of the orca's species, habits, Agor's aesthetic sense, the hunter's characteristics, and other factors.

The entire outfit is made of Olympus knitting material, which has the characteristics of automatic cleaning, stain resistance and dirt prevention, and shape transformation. It can be said that with one garment, you can have a hundred different clothes.

I'm sure the little girl will love it during the day.

"Give it a try, I think Skadi will look great in it."

Encouraged by the daytime, the baby killer whale carried the clothes into the hut.

During the day, he rubbed Ah Yao while waiting.

Before long, he received the baby killer whale's... distress call.
