Want to do something adults have to admit they can't do, but is also incredibly exciting?

Want to do something adults have to admit they can't do, but is also incredibly exciting?

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Yingcao finally spoke: "There's a really good math Olympiad summer camp I want to go to. The school has already reduced a lot of the fees for me, so I only need to pay a little for living expenses and registration fees... Sister Shuyi, please don't tell my dad, please!"

A very authoritative mathematics professor will be attending this summer camp, a scholar whom Luo Yingcao greatly admires. In addition, she heard from her teacher that achieving a top-three finish in this summer camp would be a significant advantage in the college entrance examination. This is the real reason why Luo Yingcao secretly went out to work part-time without telling He Yong.

She wanted to finish her studies as soon as possible to repay He Yong, so that He Yong wouldn't have to work so hard in the future. She would earn a lot of money to support He Yong and let him live a good life.

Seeing Luo Yingcao's pleading and expectant eyes, Shuyi finally couldn't help but act as a mediator. Shen Zhizhou insisted that her studies should not be neglected, while Aunt Goat lovingly hugged Luo Yingcao tightly.

“I’ve watched Yingcao grow up since she was little. She’s a good girl. She can work for Auntie here! Auntie will prepare dinner for you.”

Seeing that Luo Yingcao was dressed in thin clothes, Aunt Goat took a thick wool scarf from the shelf and wrapped it around Luo Yingcao's neck. Luo Yingcao couldn't find a reason to refuse; Aunt Goat was just too enthusiastic.

While Shen Zhizhou was questioning Luo Yingcao about her homework, Shuyi pulled Aunt Goat to the back dressing room and whispered, "Auntie, if Yingcao sells anything while working here, can we give her a commission? Write it down, and we'll pay it out of my account later."

"How can I pay out of your account? I've watched this child grow up since he was little. I guess he really wants to go, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly run away to do part-time work. It's good for him to work for me, and he can also help He Yong look after the child. Don't argue with me, I said I'll pay!" Aunt Goat firmly rejected Shu Yi's suggestion, indicating that she currently has no problem with her income and is living a much better life than before.

"No way, I said it has to be from me, otherwise I won't come next time," Shu Yi threatened.

Aunt Goat wasn't buying it: "Fine, then I'll give the money you give me to Boss Shen. Anyway, you're both family, so it's fine."

Shuyi felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Aunt Goat said and quickly tried to clarify. But Aunt Goat had an expression that said, "I understand you young people," and Shuyi didn't know how to explain, so she quickly left the changing room.

Seeing that Luo Yingcao was already able to skillfully introduce the products to customers, Shu Yi sighed and, feeling sorry for her, called her to the cashier to teach her how to operate the system: "On weekdays, you earn 40 yuan by 10 pm and 80 yuan a day on weekends. If you sell something, you get a 10 yuan commission. Is it okay if I pay you once a week?"

"Okay, thank you, sister." Luo Yingcao looked up and nodded vigorously, smiling as she thanked Shuyi. She knew that Shuyi was trying to help her relax and take care of herself in her own way.

Seeing that Aunt Goat's shop was gradually stabilizing, and now with Luo Yingcao's help, Shuyi invited Shen Zhizhou to go out and relax together.

"Where to?" Shen Zhizhou asked, nudging Shu Yi with his shoulder.

"How about we do something that adults have to say, but is also incredibly exciting?" Shu Yi squinted and extended a sincere invitation to Shen Zhizhou.

Shen Zhizhou quickly wrapped his coat tighter around himself, clasped his hands together to cover his chest to protect his innocence, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You actually lust after me to this extent... I know I'm good-looking, but you can't be this unreserved."

Shu Yi looked at Shen Zhizhou, who was as baffled as a ripe prawn, and said, "Are you crazy? I asked you if you wanted to go play video games, what the hell are you doing?"

"Oh, that's fine then. I was afraid you'd be lusting after my good looks and couldn't help yourself."

Shuyi rolled her eyes and silently criticized Shen Zhizhou's narcissism. Shen Zhizhou turned his head and glanced at Shuyi. Upon receiving the signal, Shuyi immediately made a zipping motion to close her mouth, but her internal complaints continued.

The two arrived at the arcade, and Shuyi bought some tokens and started playing with a basket each. Shen Zhizhou leaned against the claw machine, watching Shuyi intently focused on her claw machine game, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Shuyi wore two braids today, with pink bows at the ends. Her chubby cheeks looked so cute to pinch. On a whim, Shen Zhizhou walked behind Shuyi and pinched the soft flesh on her face. It really did feel great.

Shuyi shook her head away from Shen Zhizhou's clutches. Because she was distracted, the doll that had finally been hooked landed at the exit. Shuyi angrily cursed, "Are you sick, Shen Zhizhou? Why did you pinch my face for no reason?"

Outraged, Shuyi grabbed a handful of coins from Shen Zhizhou's basket as compensation. Shen Zhizhou then poured a whole basketful of coins from his own basket into Shuyi's hands, letting her continue playing while he went to a corner to play other games.

By the time Shuyi put the last coin into the claw machine, she had already grabbed a basketful of plush toys, and the people around her were also lucky enough to grab a bagful. Looking at the plush toys in the cart, Shuyi exchanged them all for an ugly-cute, snotty-nosed, tear-filled annoying duck plush toy.

Walking up to Shen Zhizhou, who was fighting zombies, he pushed the doll aside: "Here, this is for you. It looks just like you, just as annoying."

Shen Zhizhou took the doll that Shuyi pushed over, examined it carefully for a while, and looked up at her incredulously: "Is this how you see me?"

"No, but pretty much, you're just a bit more annoying."

Shen Zhizhou, clutching his doll, lifted his leg to say goodbye to Shuyi, but Shuyi stopped him, and the two of them bickered and argued as they went home.

After washing up in the evening, Shen Zhizhou dried the water droplets from his hair and looked at the annoying duck plush toy that Shu Yi had given him on the sofa in the room. Shen Zhizhou walked over, squatted down, and lightly flicked the toy's forehead with his finger.

"Silly boy." Shen Zhizhou's tone carried a hint of intimacy that he himself didn't realize.

...

After Aunt Goat finished her work, it was Uncle Goose's turn. But Uncle Goose didn't have any other hobbies or special skills, except for watching the old men playing chess in the park.

However, Uncle Goose's chess etiquette was terrible; he couldn't stand losing and would start cheating as soon as there was any sign of him losing. Therefore, neither the people nor the demons in the neighborhood liked to play chess with Uncle Goose.

After much thought, Shuyi and Shen Zhizhou still didn't know how to recommend a job to Uncle Dayan. After thinking for a long time, they arranged for Uncle Dayan to go to a nursing home to keep Huang Daxian company.

On his first day at work, Huang Daxian showed Uncle Dayan around. When they reached the recreation room, Uncle Dayan's feet just wouldn't obey him and he went inside. He saw some elderly people singing and dancing, and in a corner he found a table of elderly people playing chess.

Uncle Goose stood by and watched for a while. When he saw that the old man playing chess hadn't moved his chariot but instead moved his cannon, Uncle Goose got impatient and immediately stepped in to play for the old man.

Seeing the disrupted chess game, the old man grabbed Uncle Dayan's sleeve and kept yelling, "How can you be like this? Don't you know the saying 'A gentleman observes chess without speaking'? You've ruined my game, how am I supposed to play now..."

“I’ll play for you. You’re bound to lose if you keep playing like this. I’ll win it back for you!” Uncle Dayan rubbed his hands together, pushed past the old man who was playing chess, and plopped down on the ground.

When Huang Daxian saw Uncle Dayan, who was really into chess, he was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't stop Uncle Dayan from sitting down and playing chess. If the dean saw him slacking off on his first day of work, he might get fired.

Huang Daxian could only whisper in Uncle Dayan's ear and gently persuade him: "Uncle, stop playing around, or you'll get scolded if the staff sees you."

"It's alright, I'll just play one game. Besides, he invited me to play this game, and I couldn't refuse his hospitality..." Uncle Dayan waved his hand at Huang Daxian, his eyes never leaving the chessboard.

Uncle Wild Goose pressed his advantage and was about to turn the tide when he was checkmated and lost the entire game. The old man opposite him, holding the chess pieces, looked at Uncle Wild Goose smugly and laughed, "Your skills are not as good as mine. You need to go home and practice more."

Hearing the boos from the sidelines, Uncle Dayan, unconvinced, grabbed the old man and challenged him to another round. The old man, who had been pushed away at first, clung to him, refusing to leave. The three of them were locked in a stalemate when the dean walked in.

Uncle Goose was fired. He was dismissed from his post after only three hours on the job, and his belongings were packed up and sent back to their original location.

Shen Zhizhou led the fired old man back to the company with a headache. Shu Yi was watering the flowers and saw Shen Zhizhou walking ahead, rubbing his temples, and Uncle Dayan, who was raising his neck and cursing the lousy chess player for daring to look down on her. She knew that Uncle Dayan must have caused trouble and been sent back.

“I feel this job is not suitable for me; it completely buries my true nature.”

"So what is your nature?" Shu Yi blinked, moved a stool, and asked curiously, taking notes with paper and pen.

"Unrestrained and free-spirited, wandering the world without a care in the world," Uncle Wild Goose spreads his arms as if in flight, perfectly embodying his love of freedom to this human and demon.

Shen Zhizhou felt even more headache after hearing this. Remembering that he hadn't eaten much yet, he took out his phone and opened a food delivery app to start choosing.

Listening to Uncle Dayan still babbling about freedom, Shen Zhizhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He took out his phone and said to Uncle Dayan, "Why don't you go deliver takeout?"

Shuyi and Uncle Dayan: "???"

Shuyi's eyes lit up as she thought about it carefully. Delivering food offers a high degree of freedom, allowing him to choose his own rest and work hours, which perfectly matches Uncle Dayan's love of freedom.

"I think it's feasible, Uncle Dayan, listen to me..." Having followed Shen Zhizhou for a long time, Shuyi has learned how to frame people without blushing or skipping a beat.

Uncle Dayan, still somewhat bewildered by Shuyi's shrewdness, looked at Shen Zhizhou and Shuyi with some suspicion and asked, "Really?"

"It has to be true!" Shu Yi and Shen Zhizhou said in unison.

For a job like food delivery, which offers a high degree of freedom and flexibility, Uncle Goose shouldn't make any mistakes. At most, he might deliver the food to the wrong place, be late, or not be very familiar with house numbers in the human world. But these are things that you get used to after a while, and he'll eventually do a good job.

But it was clear that Shuyi and Shen Zhizhou hadn't prepared enough; they had no idea what kind of trouble Uncle Dayan could cause.

In the middle of the night, Shen Zhizhou was half asleep when he heard someone call him. On the other end of the line, Uncle Zheng was practically roaring, "Shen Zhizhou, your employee is going to jump off a building!"

Shen Zhizhou was so frightened that he rolled off the bed and listened to the second half of the roar.

"He's a pervert! He's naked and stealing people's takeout! Come quick!"
