"What are you talking about... Never mind, you're right, we should improve our physical fitness."

Xu Shi was about to retort immediately, "Don't you know this is a slide that you can't even touch? Why are you being so blunt about wanting mugwort!"

But embarrassingly, it's true. He's definitely not as good as the combat-type Su Lin in this respect. He can't keep being unable to get out of bed like this every time, can he?

But then again, she's not the only one with a combat style, is she? Xia Wuyou seems to be one too? And even Jiang Chengcheng shouldn't be underestimated...

Tsk, could it be that Xia Xiaomao is deliberately begging for mercy? She keeps saying she's going to die, she can't take it, but she can actually handle it perfectly well?

That would be terrible, not to mention there's Tang Shuang involved... It's true we didn't get to eat her, but we need to prepare early.

"Yes, I will help you, young master."

Su Lin narrowed her eyes with satisfaction. She was genuinely thinking of Xu Shi, not mocking him. Anyway, she knew what kind of person her young master was, and who knew if there would be more in the future...

She didn't object, and since she didn't object, she had to help him get things set up as soon as possible.

Just as she was thinking this, she felt her legs go weak and she stumbled as soon as she got out of bed.

"..."

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What are you pretending for! You're just average!"

"No!"

Su Lin grabbed a cushion and threw it over, then quickly got dressed and ran away.

...

In a sense, Xu Shi and Su Lin had a short vacation these past two days, enjoying their time together.

But Chairman Xu felt that he was more tired than when he was at work—the truth is that he really had nothing to do at the company, especially now that everything has settled down, he is even more idle, spending the whole day with a cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and his legs crossed.

But going out with Su Lin was different. It was clear that Director Su was very interested in these things. She hadn't really experienced them before... Amusement parks, racetracks, and in the end, she even visited museums and libraries. Her whole day was packed with activities, but she didn't seem tired at all.

Women… Xu Shi was being pulled around like a headless chicken by her, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “The old saying is really true: no matter how cold a woman is, her heart is soft…”

Even worse off are Gu Yixia and Ke'an, who are left alone at home. These two left-behind children are truly going to die without anyone to care for them.

"I'm so hungry, where did that bastard Xu and Sister Su go...?"

Miss Black Rabbit groaned weakly, slumped in front of the computer, "I'm going to die without Sister Su cooking..."

"Wuyou isn't here either, are we going to order takeout again...?"

The white-haired little girl was lying across from her, staring at her intently. "A bunch of heartless people! He's still a patient, and they're out playing..."

The truth is, the whole family has become spoiled by Su Lin's superb cooking skills, and everything tastes bland to them now. Of course, if Su Lin weren't around, Xia Wuyou could fill in; after so many years of wandering, her cooking skills are quite good. It's just a pity that she's been so busy these past few days that she can't even take care of herself, let alone anyone else...

The world-famous painting "Xia Wuyou Working Overtime".

"Play? What kind of play..."

Gu Yi said listlessly and weakly, her mind had already stopped thinking.

"What do you want to play?"

Xia Ke'an rolled her eyes at her, "You talk as if you haven't experienced it yourself."

"...Go away, little kids shouldn't say such unhealthy things."

Miss Black Rabbit's lips twitched, and she reached out to poke her cheek. "Or...did you do it too?"

"No, that's not true... Get lost, who are you calling a child?"

The old woman was taken aback. "Xu Shi, Xu Shi, he dares to do that! Do you think I'm like you? You're all shameless."

"Whether he dares or not is hard to say, and you don't have the means."

Gu Yi sensed that she was in a bit of a hurry, so she couldn't help but tease her, "Hey, little one, why don't you have a lollipop?"

"What are you saying?!"

Xia Ke'an was furious. She was sorely offended. The truth was that Xu Shi was really daring. If he hadn't turned back to normal last time, he would have succeeded.

But I did eat the lollipop, ugh, I can't think about it, my jaw hurts just thinking about it...

"Ugh, anyway, he's a bastard."

The older woman patted her face and brushed it off.

"I don't object."

Gu Yi rarely agreed with her. Wasn't Xu Shi a jerk? He left everything to others and went out to play... She hadn't been idle these past few days either. Sin City needed a new security system, and Night City also needed a major upgrade. She had to take charge of all of these, and her brain cells were burning through several pounds.

The only benefit was that her abilities seemed to have improved, but she always felt that her special abilities weren't very useful. Like the last time the "divine intervention" happened, it wasn't as fast as Xu the bastard directly accessing her consciousness...

Wait till you get home, and I'll show you what I'm made of!

Achoo!

Xu Shi, who was far away on the Ferris wheel, sneezed several times in a row.

"Young Master, have you caught a cold?"

Su Lin quickly draped her coat over him.

"It's alright, I'm afraid someone's cursing me."

Xu Shi rubbed his nose and laughed, "Thanks, you really are a great boyfriend."

That's how it is with older sisters, especially since he's always been taken care of by her, which makes him seem like a gigolo...

Su Lin smiled and remained silent. She also enjoyed taking care of Xu Shi, including going out with him to stroll around. It wasn't that she hadn't done it before, but their status was different now. Although there was only a one-word difference between "accompanying" and "keeping company," they were two completely different concepts.

"Looking at it now, this city doesn't seem that big."

Xu Shi let her snuggle into his arms, looked down at her and sighed, "I always thought it wouldn't be easy to hold her in my hands, but now it seems that's not necessarily true..."
