"Ladies, please come in."

Li Xiaozhi pushed open a door with a smile and made a "please" gesture.

"Thank you," the two women said.

Inside the door is a cozy living room, mainly decorated in pink and white tones, which makes people feel warm and comfortable.

"Please sit down, I'll go get you both a cup of coffee," Li Xiaozhi said very politely.

"How could I possibly accept that?" Valerie stood up before she had even settled in her seat.

Li Xiaozhi smiled considerately and said, "You two are my honored guests, it's nothing. Please sit down, there are no outsiders here, so please don't be shy."

"Okay...okay, thank you for your help, sir." Valerie felt a little uncomfortable, as she was usually the one serving others.

Valerie was deeply moved as she watched Li Xiaozhi busily working at the bar.

But she could also tell that Li Xiaozhi's gaze was almost entirely fixed on Pattika.

"Hey, Patika, from what you were talking about, did you two meet before?" Valerie asked quietly, sitting down next to Patika.

The latter nodded slightly, her cheeks involuntarily flushing.

"Are you really going to say yes to him?"

"Answer? Agree? Agree to what?"

“You agreed to be Omega’s model?” Valerie blinked. “I remember he said he hoped you could be his partner?”

"This...this I...don't know either..." Patika's voice was very soft, and she seemed to be hesitant.

Finally, he looked at Valerie blankly and asked without any opinion, "Do you think I should agree?"

"This..." Valerie was unsure when faced with this question: "I think you can ask Professor Angie."

"Ask Instructor Angie?" Patika was taken aback.

“That’s right! After all, your main focus right now is your studies. If you start developing a side business after only a few days, you have to make sure it doesn’t affect your studies!” Valerie said seriously.

“Hmm…” Patika nodded slightly: “You’re right…”

Li Xiaozhi, who was adding sugar powder not far away, frowned and immediately began to think about what to say next.

"By the way, is Xiao He going back to the dorm tonight?" Patika asked.

Because she remembered that Valerie had asked her that day, but she hadn't heard her answer clearly.

Valerie shrugged and said with a helpless expression, "She herself isn't sure."

"Okay... By the way, have she and her boyfriend already had a physical relationship?" Patika knew that Valerie and Xiao He were close, so she didn't hold back in asking.

"I didn't ask that..." Valerie scratched her head. "If we often spend the night together, then it's about right, isn't it?"

How old is she this year?

"eighteen."

Patika fell into deep thought.

Many couples get engaged after the age of fifteen, and eighteen is indeed the most common age for marriage in Nuojin.

However, I'm already twenty years old and I've never even been in a relationship.

If you wait until the wedding day, won't you be twenty-five or thirty?

Patika's gaze fell on Li Xiaozhi, and at the same time, the image of Lucadi appeared in her mind.

The former is gentle and considerate, and also quite good-looking. He is a good match for me in every way, except that he is not an elementalist.

The latter is both irritable and ruthless, forgetting what he has done in the blink of an eye, and having no interest in women or romance whatsoever.

Even a fool would know who to choose!

Patika's answer gradually became clear.

"Your coffee is a little hot, please be careful." Li Xiaozhi carried two saucers and gently placed them on the coffee table in front of the two women.

“Thank you,” Patika and Valerie said at the same time.

After finishing everything, Li Xiaozhi sat down opposite the two of them.

To be precise, he was opposite Patika, who could see him with just a glance.

“You can take your time to consider my previous suggestion, or... you could consider part-time work.”

What is freelance work?

“There are no quotas for freelance work. You can do it anytime, anywhere, as long as you have free time,” Li Xiaozhi said with a smile.

The two women exchanged a glance, feeling that the suggestion was not bad.

A part-time job that can be done anytime, anywhere, isn't that just like playing around?

You can have fun and get paid!

“Okay!” Patika was very happy and readily agreed.

Valerie, who was standing nearby, did not stop them.

Since Li Xiaozhi said he would send a car to pick us up, there was no need to worry about getting lost.

Besides, she and Pattika really didn't have any money.

Unless they pawn something, they just can't bear to sell anything.

Now that a great opportunity to make money is right in front of you, can you resist the temptation?

Once this "job" was confirmed, all three of them seemed to inexplicably breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaozhi took out some exquisite picture books from under the table and politely handed them to the two women to enjoy.

They call it "understanding the job."

Girls all love beauty. These picture books are the best of the best; no girl could resist them.

Patika was like someone who had opened the door to a new world.

The girls in this movie are all dressed up like princesses in a castle, and both the special effects and the colors are full of a beautiful and romantic atmosphere.

Suddenly, her fingers, which were turning the page, stopped.

The title is "Lineage II: Dawn".

Seeing her expression, Valerie curiously leaned closer.

They didn't know Xiao He from two years ago, so his face was completely unfamiliar to them.

But this does not prevent them from appreciating the painting from an aesthetic point of view.

The images in the album were not actual photographs taken at the time, but rather slightly processed to create a more dreamlike fairy tale.
