“These are things I should do. Matthew once saved my life, so taking care of his daughter is my duty.”

From the details of the store manager's behavior, Tu Xiaohei had already figured out the store manager's identity.

Japanese.

Judging by her age, she's probably starting to worry about getting married.

It's not a big deal to keep Heloise with you all the time.

The store manager nodded vigorously, then walked over to Heloise's side and whispered something to her.

Heloise glanced at Tu Xiaohei and then quietly whispered something to the shopkeeper.

"Ring ring!"

The cell phone rang.

Tu Xiaohei glanced at the note and, sure enough, it was Wang Zhuoxi.

After clicking to connect, Tu Xiaohei heard Wang Zhuoxi's helpless voice.

"Little Black, what's your other request? Don't keep me in suspense, okay?"

The timing of this is quite subtle.

Tu Xiaohei looked at the two people who were talking in hushed tones and asked softly, "Captain, if I were to adopt a foreign little girl and give her a Chinese household registration... would that be possible?"

"What?!"

Originally, Wang Zhuoxi was drinking coffee while talking on the phone with Tu Xiaohei.

Upon hearing Tu Xiaohei's words, the coffee he was drinking instantly choked him, nearly causing him to choke.

"Are you kidding me? You're not even an adult yet, why would you adopt a foreign little girl?"

Wang Zhuoxi placed the coffee on the table and said with a speechless expression.

Upon hearing Wang Zhuoxi's voice, Tu Xiaohei scratched his head awkwardly.

"Haha, it's a legacy issue. A white uncle helped me when I went to Dagba before. Now, in return, I have to take care of his daughter and help her get a Chinese household registration."

Upon hearing Tu Xiaohei's words, Wang Zhuoxi frowned.

"How old is the other person? Are they Asian or something else?"

After thinking for a long time, Wang Zhuoxi asked helplessly.

Tu Xiaohei blinked and looked at Heloise.

"She's about eight years old, I guess? Probably around third grade. Hmm... blonde and blue-eyed, a purebred foreign girl."

Upon hearing Tu Xiaohei's account, Wang Zhuoxi rolled his eyes again.

"You're only seventeen yourself. Tell me, a seventeen-year-old boy adopting an eight-year-old girl? Is that believable? Even if it were adoption, how would you explain it on the household registration? Father and daughter? You were doing *that* when you were nine?"

"Hehe, that's your problem now, anyway you promised me~"

Tu Xiaohei scratched his head.

Since reasoning with them won't work, it's simpler to just resort to shamelessness.

"I****"

Wang Zhuoxi wished he could beat Tu Xiaohei to death.

However, he quickly suppressed this strong urge.

"Alright, let's set up a separate household registration. It should take about three days. Then you'll be her nominal guardian. Heh, adopting a foreign little girl, I'll kill you with work if I don't."

After saying that, Wang Zhuoxi hung up on Tu Xiaohei.

Clearly, Wang Zhuoxi was also angered by Tu Xiaohei's behavior of sabotaging his superior.

"Haha...at least the important thing is that it's done."

Tu Xiaohei scratched his hair.

If Wang Zhuoxi agrees, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

Of course, the household registration issue is only the one that is on the surface.

In the near future, there will also be "going to school," "school district housing," and "rebellious phase"...

A series of problems await Tu Xiaohei.

"Did I jump a little too much?"

My youth was skipped.

It ended halfway through during my student days.

Now even dating and marriage are no longer necessary.

It turned into taking care of children.

Fortunately, Heloise wasn't a baby, otherwise, the trouble would have been much bigger.

"I've already talked to her."

Just as Tu Xiaohei began to reflect on his life, the shop manager's words suddenly interrupted Tu Xiaohei's delusions.

"oh oh."

Tu Xiaohei nodded, then lowered his head, looked at Haiyilos who didn't know what to do, and smiled helplessly.

Well, looking at it now, I'm not the one who's most conflicted.

It was this little girl in front of me!

Thinking of this, Tu Xiaohei squatted down and stretched out his hand.

His hand gradually formed a fist and was placed in front of Heloise.

Heloise hesitated for a moment, then looked down at her small hands.

Gritting her teeth, Heloise clenched one of her small hands into a small fist.

He lightly bumped his fist against Tu Xiaohei's.

Amidst the sounds of morning bells and evening drums, Zhao Kuangyi stopped what he was doing and looked at the lifeless Wang Zhuoxi, saying, "Relax, anyway, Tu Xiaohei will be the one who's busy in the end."

After a pause, Zhao Kuangyi gave a comical smile and said, "And you can't deny that ever since Tu Xiaohei joined Morning Bell and Evening Drum, he's always been at the forefront of everything. He blocked an attack by the Crow People, wiped out the larvae of Gadi, and obtained the Orange One chip. He's risked his life so much, so any request he makes is reasonable."

Upon hearing Zhao Kuangyi's advice, Wang Zhuoxi rolled his eyes.

"Reasonable, reasonable, reasonable my foot! That brat is so stubborn. Why can't he just keep these things to himself? Why go through all this trouble? How old is he? Does he even know what a girl is thinking?"

After a pause, Wang Zhuoxi rolled his eyes in disdain: "I wonder what his expression will be when he faces that kid going through puberty."

Compared to Wang Zhuoxi's constant pessimism, Zhao Kuangyi's thoughts were different.

"If it weren't for Tu Xiaohei's indelible kindness, you wouldn't have summoned him to the Morning Bell and Evening Drum. My biggest worry now is..."

Zhao Kuangyi blinked and looked at Wang Zhuoxi.

"Why do you think Tu Xiaohei is fighting so hard? It's because Tu Xiaohei doesn't care about anything; if he dies, he dies. But now, he has that foreign little girl as a connection..."

At this point, Wang Zhuoxi nodded.

"Maybe they'll become like me."

"It's good that you know."

Zhao Kuangyi rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, the other two members of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum team were engaged in a fierce battle inside the mimicry cabin.

They had no idea that Tu Xiaohei had gotten into such a troublesome situation this time.

And Ren Xiaobai?

"It's done!"

Ren Xiaobai looked at the information in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Then I clicked save.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

A colleague asked curiously.

Ren Xiaobai looked at his curious colleagues, chuckled, and whispered, "Soon you'll be able to see a brand-new mech that far surpasses the performance of the Qitian!"

After saying that, Ren Xiaobai ignored his colleague, deleted the original garbled name of the folder, and started typing it out word by word on the keyboard.

"Second-generation mecha"
