Precious written records of early magicians taming humans

4.

In the first half of the fifth season, Tiny Herb played against Tyranny away. Xiao Xiao was excited about their trip to Q City and, along with Li Yihui, filled an A4 sheet with plans for a seafood adventure, only to be reported by Fang Shiqian before they set off.

Wang Jiexi harshly criticized the two for their plan to run away.

On the bus from the airport to the city, the members of Tiny Herb were sleeping soundly, while Xiao Xiao and Li Yihui sat in the last row, complaining to each other.

Xiao Xiao: "How could you ask Fang Shiqian like that!"

Li Yihui said aggrievedly, "I've only been to Q City once."

Xiao Xiao: "Then go ask Zhang Xinjie, or Senior Han will do too!"

Li Yihui thought of Han Wenqing's face and suddenly realized, "I wouldn't dare!"

Wang Jiexi sat in the front row with his eyes closed, resting. Fang Shiqian leaned on his shoulder, struggling to suppress a laugh, his whole body trembling.

Wang Jiexi couldn't take it anymore: "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Shiqian: "I can't help but laugh when I think about how Xiaoxiao is gradually losing her dreams... How can someone be just like a meme? She's so funny."

Wang Jiexi: "Cough."

Wang Jiexi could understand Fang Shiqian's perverse sense of humor—knowing about the other party's ulterior motives all along but only reporting it at the last minute.

The bus, arranged by Tyranny, drove directly into the Tyranny Club. Everyone got off and stretched, with Wang Jiexi taking the initiative to socialize with Han Wenqing. Xiao Xiao, still angry about being arrested, stood far away from the crowd.

Zhang Xinjie asked Li Yihui, "What's wrong with her?"

Li Yihui sighed: "The captain won't let her go eat seafood."

Xiao Xiao's ears twitched; she heard a rustling sound.

It was daytime, and they were inside the club. The safe environment gave Xiao Xiao tremendous courage. She walked to the source of the sound, squatted down, and lowered her head.

Two pairs of gleaming eyes were visible in the shadows beneath the bus.

Xiao Xiao cried out in alarm, "Help! Help! Help me—"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Xiao being chased around by two German Shepherds.

Wang Jiexi's expression changed, and before he could go over, Xiao Xiao had already been tackled to the ground.

"Smile!"

As soon as the whistle blew, the two German Shepherds quickly ran to the whistleblower's feet and sat obediently, as if the incident of them pressing him down and licking him had never happened.

Xiao sat up expressionlessly and wiped his face with his sleeve.

Wang Jiexi helped Xiao Xiao up: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, except for my company dying."

"Sorry." Liu Shaoyou walked over and handed her a handkerchief. "They haven't been here long and are a little excited."

Xiao Xiao scolded her: "How could you walk your dog without a leash?"

Liu Shaoyou apologized: "I will be more careful next time."

Li Yihui asked Zhang Xinjie, "How did you guys start keeping dogs?"

Zhang Xinjie said, "The boss brought it over himself; it's a retired military dog."

Li Yihui exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Can you just raise one like this?"

5.

On New Year's Eve of Season 5, Xiao Xiao's online friend invited her to go to a comic convention.

Wang Jiexi didn't approve of her going to meet someone she met online, but since she's grown up and has her own ideas, there was nothing he could do. He could only act like a concerned parent and send her to the convention center, reminding her to contact them promptly.

Xiao Xiao and Yan Yu met because they liked the same novel. They became inseparable, chatting online for over 700 days straight, exchanging good morning and good night messages even when they had nothing to talk about. This friendship naturally continued from online to offline.

Xiao Xiao, holding a cup of milk tea, asked, "Don't you need to spend Chinese New Year with your elders?"

Last year, Yan Yu complained to her about how her elders were old-fashioned and even kicked her out of the house during the Chinese New Year because they were unhappy with her career choices.

Yan Yu touched the ends of her hair, which were dyed maple red: "Even if I went, I would be kicked out, so I'm not going to suffer that hardship."

"So you deliberately dyed it this color?"

"Let's not talk about this," Yan Yu reached out and patted Xiao Xiao's head, "Just consider it as me going through my rebellious phase."

Xiao Xiao bought a Tiny Herb-themed sailor uniform at the comic convention, and Yan Yu complimented her, "You look so good in JK uniforms!"

"I am of high school age."

"So cute." Yan Yu couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

Xiao Xiao is rarely praised for being cute.

Perhaps influenced by Ms. Zhou's delayed gratification education philosophy, Xiao Xiao grew into a somewhat awkward girl. She rarely expressed her feelings directly, and instead would change the subject by rambling when others tried to approach her.

Yan Yu saw Xiao Xiao's cotton doll in the Glory section and immediately grabbed Xiao Xiao: "Buy it, buy it!"

"Why would I buy this? That's so weird."

"You can buy it and give it to me."

"? You want to buy it yourself, okay? It's a deep alley, very big."

"You can give this to your crush." ​​Yan Yu was very fond of the doll.

"I secretly..." Xiao Xiao stammered, "Tiny Herb forbids early dating!"

"Wang Jiexi really thinks he's your dad, even interfering with your dating life."

Xiao Xiao shared with her the story of how she gave Wang Jiexi the nickname "Big-Eyed Dad" when she was drunk.

However, this gave Yan Yu a new idea: "Then you can give the baby to him and wish him a happy new fatherhood."

"You are so vicious."

Despite saying that, Xiao Xiao bought the doll.

The two of them walked around all day without feeling tired. Later, when they looked at their step count, Xiao Xiao exclaimed in amazement: "I actually exceeded 30,000! I'm amazing!"

"Are you going back to the club now or coming to the hotel with me?"

Xiao Xiao blinked shyly: "Are you inviting me?"

"No shivering allowed."

"snort."

Yan Yu had just turned 18, which was just the right time for her to bring Xiao Xiao, a minor, to check in.

She didn't feel tired while shopping, but when she lay on the soft bed in the hotel, Xiao Xiao almost fell asleep. She had to rest up for a while before she had the strength to take a hot shower.

"Waaah." Xiao Xiao, who had just finished taking a shower, threw herself into Yan Yu's arms.

"Ugh—" Yan Yu pressed her finger against Xiao Xiao's forehead in disgust. "Don't take advantage of me."

"I'm too exhausted! But, but if I could bury my face in your chest..."

"I'll beat you up... but don't actually come any closer!"

As the two were rolling around on the big bed, Xiao Xiao's phone rang.

Yan Yu used both hands and feet to restrain Xiao Xiao, barely managing to free one hand to grab the phone and turn it on speakerphone.

"Smile."

It's Wang Jiexi.

While Xiao Xiao was still struggling to get rid of Yan Yu, he also greeted Wang Jiexi: "Good evening, Captain! Happy New Year's Eve, Captain!"

Hearing the suspicious panting and rustling of fabric coming from the other end of the phone, Wang Jiexi fell silent: "...What are you doing?"

Yan Yu released Xiao Xiao and deliberately went to the bathroom.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Xiao Xiao twirled the end of her hair with her fingers: "I was just with Yan Yu. Is there anything I can help you with, Captain?"

Happy New Year, Xiaoxiao.

"It's past midnight, I didn't even notice. Happy New Year, Captain!"

"Get some rest," Wang Jiexi advised.

6.

This was the first time Xiao Xiao had sat in the player's seat at the Glory Professional League Finals.

She maneuvered Wang Jiangnan to hover on the edge of the battlefield, carefully dodging the various projectiles and ammunition fired from the dazzling array of bullets.

She has been lying low, waiting for an opportunity to strike decisively.

A dazzling light curtain advances, and beneath it lies a heavy sword littered with fallen petals.

Xiao Xiao stood up from her seat, still somewhat dazed.

Just now, her screen almost went completely white, but she seized that fleeting moment of crimson light, her fingers tapping the keyboard, typing out a series of keystrokes.

Wang Jiangnan successfully harvested the heads of the fallen flowers and scattered corpses.

Then, Wang Buluoxing rushed into the light curtain and slashed down the Hundred Flowers Bloom.

Her teammates rushed over and hugged her, ruffling her hair and shouting in her ear, "Xiaoxiao, we won!"

Xiao Xiao burst into tears of joy.

This is the first overall championship in the history of the Tiny Herb Club League.

This season, Wang Jiexi completely abandoned his unpredictable magician-like playing style and integrated himself into the team. The healing god Fang Shiqian kept a close eye on the assassin's health bar, who was practically invisible on the field, giving Xiao Xiao maximum room to maneuver.

The young assassin has shown remarkable talent and has a promising future.

After the ceremony, a large group of Tiny Herb employees went to celebrate their success.

Although professional gamers are supposed to be abstaining from alcohol, an occasional indulgence doesn't matter. Everyone cheerfully opened a bottle of wine, each pouring themselves a small glass. Xiao Xiao, still a minor, stared longingly at his seniors' glasses, so Fang Shiqian opened a bottle of alcoholic soda for him.

Fang Shiqian swore to God that if he had known Xiao Xiao could get drunk from soda, he would never have impulsively opened that bottle.

The first person to notice that Xiao Xiao was acting strangely was Wang Jiexi. As the team leader, he didn't lose his composure under these circumstances and continued to pay attention to the situation of each team member.

So when he saw Xiao Xiao's flushed face, he walked over and asked, "Xiao Xiao?"

"Big-eyed Dad!" Xiao Xiao called out to him cheerfully.

"Pfft—" Someone couldn't control themselves and spat out, while the rest of the people remained motionless, quietly watching Wang Jiexi, pretending to be statues.

"..." Wang Jiexi picked up the glass bottle next to Xiao Xiao, looked at the alcohol content on the label, twitched his lips, and before he could say anything, Xiao Xiao stood up, wrapped his arms around Wang Jiexi's hands, and then hugged him, rubbing his face against his upper arm.

Wang Jiexi could only be thankful that the air conditioning in the private room was a bit cold, so he was wearing a jacket.

"Big-eyed Daddy, wasn't I amazing today?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes were wet with tears. She stared intently at Wang Jiexi, her face showing a little expectation.

Wang Jiexi felt a little awkward and looked at the others, trying to seek help.

"Eat your food."

"This fish tastes good, have some more."

"Senior Fang ate pig's trotters; you are what you eat."

"You're too kind."

"..."

Xiao Xiao received no response and felt dissatisfied: "Do you think I'm not good enough?"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Wang Jiexi was stunned; it was the first time he had ever heard of Xiao Xiao's skill.

Wang Jiexi used the hand that Xiao Xiao wasn't holding to wipe away her tears: "No, you were amazing today."

"Then praise me!" Xiao Xiao quickly wiped away her tears.

"?"

Fang Shiqian chuckled to himself, feigning concern for Wang Jiexi: "Squad leader, she's still a child, just go along with her."

"Shiqian's mom!" Xiao Xiao noticed Fang Shiqian, let go of Wang Jiexi's hand, and changed her target.

"Wait, why am I the mother?"

“Senior Fang, she’s still a child, so be lenient with her,” Wang Jiexi replied verbatim.

Xiao Xiao held Fang Shiqian's hands in her own: "Thank you, Shiqian's mother, for never letting me go on the field. I will never forget your kindness in raising me."

"I understand, I'll release you next time."

After playing around for a while, Xiao Xiao got sleepy and returned to Wang Jiexi's side: "Big-eyed Daddy, I'm sleepy."

"...How about taking a nap?"

Xiao Xiao opened her arms: "Carry me on your back."

"So what happened next?" Xiao Xiao's voice trembled.

"Later, the captain carried you back." The senior looked at Xiao Xiao with pity as he gradually contorted himself into a "shouting" expression.

Xiao Xiao crouched down, clutching his head, and began muttering to himself, "No, no, no, no, no, no, this is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible..."

"Xiaoxiao?" It was Wang Jiexi's voice.

Xiao Xiao sprang to his feet. "Here! Captain, what's the matter?"

His guilty conscience was visibly obvious.

Wang Jiexi reminded her, "Be careful when you're alone at the club."

Xiao Xiao lowered his head: "Okay, Captain."

Wang Jiexi has passed away.

"They didn't even scold me."

"Why are you being scolded?" The senior put his arm around Xiao Xiao's head, but she pushed it away in dissatisfaction. "I'll stunt my growth!"

"Getting cocky again? No wonder he has Shiqian's mom to heal him up, his speed of full recovery is too fast."

"Shut up—"
