“She called again yesterday,” Guan’s mother said. “She’s only free after 10 p.m. You, as her father, don’t care about your daughter at all!”
Mr. Guan smiled guiltily.
Even though he felt the chances were slim, he still wanted to give it a try, so he was extremely busy and neglected his daughter.
"I'm getting a promotion," he said, putting on a serious face and feigning composure.
"A promotion?" Mrs. Guan was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Then we should celebrate!"
Mr. Guan hesitated for a moment and said, "The leader hinted that it's related to Xiao Mihu. What exactly is her job?"
Mrs. Guan was also stunned, and frowned, saying, "It's a confidential project. She didn't tell me about it either. We just moved to Yatou Mountain a few days ago..."
"From what I've heard, it's a major top-level central government project with military involvement. Director Zhao has personally visited it several times in the past few months!"
"Yes, it's that Director Zhao!"
Mr. Guan rubbed his head, feeling that things might not be as he had initially guessed.
A sense of unease rose in his heart, and he said, "Let's go see her in a few days!"
Guan's mother nodded: "Perfect timing, I'll go check on Yunyun."
"Oh, that girl!" Thinking of her sister, the joy brought by her husband's promotion faded considerably.
Guan's father comforted his wife with a few words.
He greatly admired his sister-in-law.
She was loyal and devoted to her family. She broke up with her sister for a poor boy. After her fiancé had an accident, she began to have mental hallucinations and refused to accept the fact that he was dead.
Unfortunately, this kind and compassionate woman was unlucky and died young.
Unfortunately, influenced by her aunt, her daughter is averse to men and has never been in a relationship over the years.
He didn't want to see his precious daughter being taken advantage of, and he certainly didn't want her to be without a partner in her life.
Now my daughter is involved in this confidential project again, and unexpectedly, she's being valued so much...
"My daughter is so outstanding, I must be overthinking it!" Mr. Guan secretly encouraged himself.
……
“Mr. Bai, my parents are coming to visit me in a while,” Guan Mi said.
Bai Lin turned his head: "Do you need me to see them?"
Bai Lin was unsure how to face Secretary Long's parents, whom he had never met, who were also Zhu Yun's sister and brother-in-law.
"No need," Guan Mi shook his head.
The higher-ups certainly don't want more people to know about the White Dragon's existence.
Even if it would be difficult for the higher-ups to refuse Bai Lin's proposal, it would still add some trouble for him.
“I wanted to say thank you on behalf of my father,” Guan Mi said. “He was recently promoted because of Mr. Bai.”
She briefly recounted her father's story.
"No need to thank me, it's because of you," Bai Lin said with a smile.
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm your feeder..." Guan Mi almost blurted out the words "feeder" in his mind.
Noticing Bai Lin's strange expression, she quickly shut up and changed her words, saying, "It's because they were your private assistant that they were willing to give my father a chance."
"Ultimately, it's all thanks to Mr. Bai!" Guan Mi gave a thumbs up.
Thinking that she was the white dragon's keeper, she proudly puffed out her chest.
Bai Lin looked at her and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
He shook his head inwardly and continued to focus his gaze on the television in front of him.
The movie on TV was quite interesting.
The movie is called Nezha, and it's a very unconventional adaptation of the mythology.
Bai Lin watched with great interest.
Seeing that he was watching quietly, Guan Mi silently sat down to the side and soon began to doze off.
Zhang Yu originally wanted to come over, but after seeing this harmonious scene through the crack in the door, he wisely left.
Before he moved here, he often visited Bai Lin.
After arriving here, he didn't dare to set foot here again because of the dragon's roar incident.
After accompanying Director Zhao and his group and witnessing Bai Lin's friendliness, his fear subsided considerably, and he became more active, intending to repair his relationship with Bai Long.
Now is clearly not the right time.
“In the past, I would come here under the pretense of cleaning up Mr. Bai’s trash, lingering to observe him a little longer, but that excuse isn’t lasting enough. Perhaps I need to think of a more effective way to please him!” Dr. Zhang’s mind raced.
If Director Zhao can get one dragon's saliva pearl a month, can he get more of his saliva?
It would be best to smear it all over his face, just don't get it in his mouth.
That stuff is indeed highly poisonous!
Chapter 26 Finding Some Fun for Mr. Bai
Bai Lin sensed Zhang Yu's approach and departure, but didn't take it seriously.
Seeing Guan Mi's drowsy appearance, he chuckled to himself.
He opened his mouth, and a blast of cold air flew out, enveloping Guan Mi's body.
Guan Mi, who had been forcing himself to stay awake, suddenly tilted his head to the side and collapsed onto the sofa.
A blanket wobbled over from the other side of the sofa and landed on her.
Bai Lin looked at her fair and flawless face, his gaze gradually softening.
A few seconds later, his gaze returned to the television screen.
The demon child Nezha met Ao Bing, the white dragon who was the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl.
Seeing the two's awkward conversation and cheerful play, Bai Lin understood why Guan Mi had shown him this movie.
The most famous part of the Nezha legend is his havoc in the sea, where he skinned and dismembered the third prince of the Dragon Palace.
He initially thought the girl was acting on someone's orders, trying to subtly suggest that he should behave himself.
Now it seems I was overthinking things.
As expected, Ao Bing, the White Dragon, clashed with Nezha under his father's instigation and planned to destroy Chen Tang Pass.
Just as Bai Lin had predicted, the two reconciled at the crucial moment, and then both perished, leaving only a trace of their souls behind.
"It was quite interesting!"
Bai Lin silently commented.
He checked the time; more than an hour had passed.
A soft moan came from the sofa, and Guan Mi slowly woke up.
She sat up, rubbed her eyes groggily, and then noticed the dragon head in her field of vision.
"Ah, Mr. Bai," Guan Mi exclaimed, instantly waking up, "How did I fall asleep!"
"Did you stay up late last night?" Bai Lin asked.
Guan Mi quickly ran his hand through his hair, and after feeling that it was mostly straightened, he said, "I only played for a little while."
"Aren't you bored here?" Bai Lin asked after a few seconds of silence.
He transferred some of the feelings he had for Zhu Yun onto Guan Mi.
The two look very similar and are related by blood.
Bai Lin instinctively channeled his regret for his ex-girlfriend into affection for her.
When he saw Guan Mi, he sometimes felt like he was looking at his daughter.
He absolutely did not want to restrict her freedom because of himself.
"How could that be!" Guan Mi shook his head vigorously.
She understood what Bai Lin meant, stood up and said earnestly, "It's very interesting and fulfilling to be with Mr. Bai!"
"As long as Mr. Bai doesn't kick me out, I'll stay here for the rest of my life!" she declared, clenching her fist.
I'm the zookeeper!
No one can separate me from my white dragon!
Her intense reaction put Bai Lin in a great mood.
He laughed and said, "Do you want to take a vacation?"
"No!" Guan Mi shook her head. "Life right now is as wonderful as a vacation every day!"
Taking a vacation would give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.
She had no idea how many alluring and scheming women were eyeing her dragon, so she was unwilling to give up her position as the keeper.
Fearing that Bai Lin would continue this topic, she pointed to the television and asked, "There's a sequel to this movie, Mr. Bai, would you like to watch it?"
"Okay," Bai Lin said.
The quality of the second part did not decline; it started with the resurrection of Nezha and Ao Bing using lotus root powder.
Bai Lin gradually became engrossed in the interesting plot.
When the movie showed the dragons trapped at the bottom of the sea, Guan Mi carefully observed Bai Lin's expression.
After not seeing any unusual emotions, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her curiosity grew even stronger.
She had speculated many times about Bai Lin's origins, wondering if he had also been trapped somewhere and had only just escaped.
Bai Lin, however, found it quite interesting.
After the movie ended, Guan Mi couldn't contain himself any longer and asked, "Mr. Bai, the place where you used to live is different from the one in the movie, isn't it?"
"Are you referring to the alchemy furnace or the seabed?" Bai Lin countered.
"Ah!" Guan Mi exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Lin laughed: "Movies aren't reality."
The dragon race he knew was far less miserable than depicted in the movies; otherwise, they wouldn't have forced the Dragon Transformation Sect to the desolate Ruins Continent.
They weren't that strong, otherwise they would have wiped out the Dragon Transformation Sect long ago.
Seeing that Guan Mi was still staring at him expectantly, Bai Lin casually made up a story: "Mountains and rivers are all my dwellings."
Guan Mi said "Oh," and then asked curiously, "How could Mr. Bai have slept for a hundred years before?"
This question had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
After spending more than two months with the white dragon, she noticed that his daily routine was very similar to that of humans, and he would go into the water every night.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been asleep for ten days straight, she would have thought that dragons were just like humans, sleeping at night and being active during the day.
"I was bored, so I slept a little longer," Bai Lin said calmly.
Guan Mi looked stunned.
Bored, you sleep for a hundred years?
She suddenly became a little worried. What if Bai Long slept like this again one day?
“For dragons with a lifespan of nearly ten thousand years, a hundred years is quite normal,” Bai Lin added.
"Mr. Bai, could you please tell me before you sleep for so long next time?" Guan Mi asked worriedly.
Bai Lin laughed and said, "Life is interesting now, I won't be sleeping like this anymore."
He would only consider passing the time by sleeping like a true dragon if all the people he knew in the world were gone one day.
Thinking of this, Bai Lin couldn't help but look at Guan Mi in front of him, and a strong impulse suddenly arose in his heart.
"That's good!" Guan Mi smiled radiantly.
