Shi Yu stayed on the train for more than ten hours, and then set up shelves on Wukou Street for half a day. When he finally came back to reality, the sun was already shining brightly outside the ward window.

The nurse had just put a new IV drip on the patient, and she took her time to pack up her things. She pushed the metal cart and left quietly, remaining calm, composed, steady and self-possessed throughout.

Then, her calmness and composure were shattered the moment she closed the door of the ward. The first thing she did was to take out her cell phone and frantically poke her friends: "Baby! Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?..."

Girlfriend: “?”

Girlfriend: "Are you finally going crazy?"

The nurse thought that she had been studying medicine for many years and had come across so many different kinds of carbohydrates that she had long seen through the mundane world. It was a rare occasion for her to be infatuated with a girl, but she had to consider that she had to maintain a mature, steady and dedicated persona in the hospital. She had no place to vent her inner screams: "I met a super beauty during my ward rounds today!"

Girlfriend: “Oh.”

Girlfriend: "Did you finally get blinded by the disinfectant?"

Nurse:"……"

The door of the ward had just been closed, and the next second, a corner of the thin blanket moved.

The little ball of light emerged from the palm of the hand of the person on the bed and called out cautiously, "Master?"

The person on the bed did not respond.

"grown ups?"

Shi Yu opened his eyes and saw the ceiling in the ward. Then he realized where he was and responded.

When Xiao Guangtuan heard his voice, he immediately became timid and held back for a long time before uttering, "Can I go out and take a look?"

Shi Yu: "It's up to you."

"oh."

Although Xiao Guangtuan had never been to the mortal world, he had seen how many players lived in reality. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Naturally, he did not dare to walk through the gate with surveillance, so he floated out through the window.

Just as it floated out of the window, it turned back and called him softly, "Sir."

Shi Yu turned his eyes away.

The little light ball said, "Can I get some clothes?"

“…”

Shi Yu picked up the phone on the bedside table and asked: "How old are you as a humanoid and a human?"

Thirty minutes later.

The errand runner who was called out of the air-conditioned quilt by a text message was dressed in black, with a baseball cap and a mask on his face. The metal rings on the shoulder bag around his waist flashed as he walked.

He sneaked into the ward and peeked in curiously. Before he could say "boss", someone in front of him raised his finger and gestured to silence him: "Shh."

A child who looked only six or seven years old stood by the door, the sheet wrapped around him dragging on the ground: "The adult is asleep, don't disturb him."

The little light ball asked crisply, "Excuse me, are you the errand boy?"

Mr. Errand heard the name "Mr. Errand": "...Who told you the name?"

Xiao Guangtuan was a little disappointed: "You are not."

"Hey wait a minute," the errand boy quickly pushed against the door and handed over the paper bag in his hand first, "My boss said he wanted children's clothes for the kids who just started compulsory education... So he wanted them for you?"

The little light ball nodded, freed one hand to take the bag and thanked him: "Thank you, sir."

The errand boy had not expected that he would be called "sir" by someone other than a business partner, especially a child, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Little boy, what's your name?"

The child said: "Xin Zhihe."

The door was not closed, so he closed it when he came in to run errands and then walked around the bed.

Not long after Shi Yu woke up, he fell asleep again. His face was still pale and even his lips were bloodless.

People who are still recovering from a serious illness actually need sleep to reduce the consumption of body functions and speed up self-repair. Although he suffers from insomnia on a daily basis, once his body has a problem, he seems to be able to spontaneously adjust to a state that is conducive to recovery. Just like this time when the organ ruptured, it was decided to issue a critical illness notice, but the data on the instrument just broke away from the red line before the notice was issued. Even the doctor said it was a medical miracle.

It was as if the world didn't want him to die and was watching him all the time, so it could pull him back in time every time he was on the verge of death.

The errand boy was amused by his own imagination.

Xiao Guangtuan came out wearing a jumpsuit, pulled the strap in front of his pants and pulled his trouser legs.

The runner looked down, picked up the sweatshirt and hood, and dragged him out of the ward. He closed the door and said, "Can't wear it?"

The little ball of light nodded.

The strap was too long, so the errand boy easily straightened and buckled the strap that had been tangled after the child had been fiddling with it for a long time.

At first, he didn't know whether the child in the boss's information was a boy or a girl, so when he picked clothes, he deliberately chose neutral ones. The overalls were khaki in color, with a big pocket on the chest with a row of chubby rabbits embroidered on it.

The errand boy couldn't help but stroke the child's furry hair twice.

Xiao Guangtuan had never been masturbated before, and the expression on his face was stupid.

The errand runner first imagined what his future son would look like, then lamented the reality of being single in middle age, and compared the importance of high salary and finding a partner. Finally, he sighed inwardly and felt that work was more suitable for being his wife: "Tie your shoelaces."

The little light ball said: "I can't."

The errand boy squatted down and complained: "Did you always ask others to help you in the past? Didn't your teacher teach you to be independent and self-reliant when you are so old?"

Xiao Guangtuan said, "I didn't need to tie shoelaces when I wore them before."

Where do the laces for the boots come from?

The errand boy thought he was talking about sneakers or skateboard shoes that only use Velcro, so he didn't think much about it: "I'll teach you, watch carefully."

"oh."

Xiao Guangtuan watched him tie one shoe, and quickly tied the other one himself, and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Errand."

When the errand boy heard the two modifiers "errand boy" again, he tried to hold it back for a long time, but couldn't help it. The expression on his face was indescribable: "Where did you hear this name from?"

Xiao Guangtuan was stunned: "Well, thank you, Ms. Errand?"

“…”

The errand boy received a text message just to ask for help to find someone to deliver the clothes. The reason why he went there in person was, firstly, because he had something to do on his way today, and secondly, he was curious about which prince the imperial decree was for from his boss, who had not bothered him for 800 years.

As for the third...

The errand boy glanced at him and said, "My boss is still resting now, do you want to follow me first?"

The little light ball paused: "No."

"Won't it be boring to stay in the hospital like this?"

“Not boring.”

Xiao Guangtuan said this and ran to a bench nearby and sat down, crossing his hands neatly on his legs.

The errand boy was amused: "Are you so wronged to go out with me?"

Xiao Guangtuan shook his head: "I'll just follow the adults."

As for the third point, he was also entrusted by his boss to take care of the children.

It's not just this moment, she wants him to help find a long-term nanny to take care of the child.

The errand boy was in no hurry to leave at this moment: "You want to follow my boss, but I'm afraid he is not willing to take you with him. After all, children are troublesome."

Xiao Guangtuan didn't say anything, but he knew what the other party said was true.

After he answered the question about his age, Shi Yu only said: "Why do you look like a child?"

The growth rate and lifespan of gods are very different from humans, so the God Realm naturally does not have the rule of "not hiring underage gods whose bodies are not fully developed." Even though he has been an administrator in the God Realm for so many years, he is still a carrot head.

The runner teased him: "What are you going to do if he really throws you out?"

The little ball of light lowered his head and said nothing.

The runner couldn't see the child's face clearly: "You're not going to cry now, are you?"

The other party still didn't speak.

The runner leaned over and asked: "Do you want me to give you a couple of tips?"

The little ball of light suddenly raised its head.

Seeing how quickly he raised his head, the runner said seriously, "He is acting like a spoiled brat, being cute and acting good."

Little Light Group: “……?”

The errand boy continued, "But the most effective one is the following one."

The hesitant little ball of light put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Errands: "Crying miserably."

Little Light Group: “……???”

"From body to mind, from childhood to adulthood, from inside to outside, from myself to my family, the more miserable I make myself sound, the better." The errand boy said in a joking tone, "Do you know why the boss kept me to do the job in the first place?"

"Why?"

The errand boy smiled and said, "Because among the three interviewees who stayed, with similar abilities, I was the only one who had a lot of debt on my shoulders, and I looked the most pitiful."

※

Shi Yu didn't wake up until the evening.

The IV drip had been taken away by medical staff as early as noon. He looked at the needle hole on the back of his hand and then at the child sitting on the sofa beside the bed.

Xiao Guangtuan noticed that he had woken up immediately, and stood up from the sofa. When he saw him move, he quickly ran over and pressed the adjustment button on the right side of the bed: "Sir."

Shi Yu withdrew his hand and pulled open the quilt.

Xiao Guangtuan hurried over to help: "The doctor said you can't get out of bed just yet."

He met his eyes and said in a weaker voice, "What do you want to do? I can help you."

Shi Yu said, "I want to get a glass of water."

"I'll go pour it!"

Xiao Guangtuan rushed out quickly, but when he held the cup to the water dispenser, he was in trouble again. He turned left and right for a long time but not a drop of water fell.

Then Shi Yu's voice sounded behind him: "Turn the switch up."

"oh."

Xiao Guangtuan silently filled the cup and took it back.

Shi Yu didn't have the habit of keeping anyone around him, and there was no one else in the ward to take care of him. He took the cup and said, "Thank you."

It was not the first time that Xiao Guangtuan heard him say thank you to him, but it was not until this moment that he understood why he felt uncomfortable when he heard the other party's thanks in the player space before.

The Lord God thanked him... If he took this to the God Realm, he could brag about it to his cronies for a year.

……ah! ! !

Shi Yu only drank half a glass of water, then asked, "Have you been sitting here all this time?"

Xiao Guangtuan came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

"Why don't you go out?"

"I don't want to go out."

Shi Yu glanced at him and said, "Really don't want to?"

How could I not think about it? The first thing I asked when I came to this world was whether I could leave.

"No." Xiao Guangtuan said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me. I've seen other players live in the mortal world for many years. They know a lot about the mortal world. They won't get into trouble, commit crimes, or cause trouble for you."

He asked cautiously, "Can you please not chase me away?"

Shi Yu spoke in a straightforward and matter-of-fact tone: "You can't support yourself like this now."

Now that he can't go back to the divine world, if the other party transforms into an adult, even if he has never been to the mortal world before, he is physically and mentally mature and has enough self-protection ability in the face of danger, so he will not starve to death if he gets lost one day.

But children are different after all. Without their supernatural powers, any adult can pick them up with one hand.

A guardian is always needed.

Xiao Guangtuan subconsciously pulled the sleeve of his hospital gown, grabbing a corner with his fingers, but did not dare to use force: "Sir..."

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again. The voice of the person outside arrived before he even arrived, and it perfectly overlapped with the voice of the little light ball: "Sir."

Lian Gui appeared in front of the door and saw a little kid standing in front of the round stool he had specially moved to the bedside. He looked up.

The familiar aura that once bathed outside the temple and was unique to the godhead was captured by the five senses of both parties at the same time.

The rest of Xiao Guangtuan's words stopped in his throat.

Lian Gui slowly narrowed his gaze, turned his head and asked, "Sir, who is he?"
