Chen Jiao stood there, wiping away sweat.
"Young master, could you please not kick us out, considering how hard Cheng went to find this?"
"I promise I won't do it again. Please let me stay, young master. I've worked here for six years and I know the brothers well."
The job at Song's house was simple and paid well. Most importantly, he had been working for Song Yun for so many years and didn't want to be fired.
Song Yun looked at Shen Bai: "Xiao Bai, do you like this?"
Shen Bai didn't know what they were talking about. He looked down and fiddled with the compass in his hand, which was a little bigger than his palm.
"I like it. My master said this is a rare find."
The small compass was a dark, antique object. Its cool touch reminded him of the first time he held the small wooden sword; it felt the same way.
Suddenly, the pointer on the compass slowly turned, and Shen Bai sensed the presence of the artifact spirit, which seemed to be a large, sleeping creature.
"Xiaobai, should we let them stay and continue working?"
[A job? Great, then I'll stay.]
In fact, Shen Bai had long forgotten about that day. The reason he remembered Chen Jiao was because it was the first time he had encountered a ghost marriage. He didn't know what it meant, he only knew that the male ghost was trying to harm people.
Shen Bai opened his arms for Song Yun to hug him.
When Song Yun saw him like this, the nameless anger in his heart subsided.
"Alright, get back to your posts."
When Shen Bai was carried back, he was still holding that small compass in his hand. Song Yun looked at the thing and found it strange.
However, he didn't think much of it; it was just a child's toy.
These past two days, Song Yun has been preparing for the banquet celebrating Old Master Song's 80th birthday.
Shen Bai was left at home, but was always looked after by Butler Li.
Shen Bai had no way to escape. Actually, there was good food every day, and he could play games. Moreover, Song Yun seemed to be quite nice, and it didn't seem like he couldn't stay here.
Besides, there's Little Witch here, and Shen Bai likes Little Witch the most.
These past few days, the little compass has been moving every now and then, especially when it's placed next to the little peach wood sword.
Shen Bai carried the small compass with him and would take it out to look at it from time to time.
Back in his room, he took out a small bundle, put all his belongings inside, and carried it with him at all times. Even when he went to the garden and sat on the swing, he would hold the peach wood sword in his arms.
The maids and bodyguards were used to it; Young Master Bai seemed to particularly like this kind of toy.
However, the heavy white bundle was always unstable and kept falling off.
Looking at Shen Bai's gray bundle, which resembled a small prop from an ancient costume drama, Chen Jiao couldn't help but say:
"Young Master Bai, how about we use a different bag to pack these things?"
What kind of bag?
Shen Bai turned to look at Chen Jiao, his face full of confusion.
"That's it, that's exactly it."
Chen Jiao went to the break room and took out the handbag she had brought to work.
"Look, this can not only hold things, but you can also carry it on your back. Isn't that great?"
Shen Bai glanced at Chen Jiao's small handbag, then at his own small bundle, and realized that was indeed the case.
He nodded, wondering how he could get a small shoulder bag.
No, he has no money now; his money is gone.
When Shen Bai came down the mountain, Abbot Shen Yan was afraid that Shen Bai would forget how to use mobile payment, so he simply gave him a stack of cash.
Now that all the cash is gone, Shen Bai has indeed forgotten how to use mobile payment.
Sitting on the swing, Shen Bai frowned and had no choice but to post on a short, explicit website:
How can I get a bag?
Asking this question around lunchtime gets you a lot of answers.
First floor: 'Sister, if you want a bag, just go to the mall and buy it yourself.'
Second floor: 'I don't know, all my bags were bought for me by my husband. [Picture]'
"The rich lady upstairs is looking at me. Do you think I could carry your bag for you?"...
Looking at these comments, Shen Bai knew it was impossible for him to buy it; Xiao Bai simply didn't have any money.
He glanced at the second floor again and replied:
'Can my husband buy it for me too?'
Second floor: 'No, this is my husband. He can only buy it for me. You should ask your husband to buy it for you.'
Shen Bai thought for a moment, not knowing what a husband was, and could only say, 'What will I do if I don't have a husband?'
Second floor: 'Then find one! I can sweet-talk my husband, and he'll buy me lots of delicious food and lots of handbags!'
Second floor: Look, pictures, pictures, pictures.
Wow!
Shen Bai looked at the things the other party sent and couldn't help but widen his eyes. They were all delicious, including a giant cake taller than a person and a chocolate waterfall... Xiao Bai wanted to try them too.
Looking at the pictures on her phone, Shen Bai couldn't help but feel envious. Having a husband meant having delicious food and handbags.
Xiaobai also wants a husband.
He held his phone and replied earnestly:
"Excuse me, where did you find your husband? I'd like to find one too."
Shen Bai tilted his head. "Shouldn't finding one be enough?"
Should we get a few more? I just don't know if every husband can buy these things. If we have a few more, will we be able to buy more?
I'm so conflicted.
Suddenly, the other person started paying attention to him.
Little Boat's Moon: 'Little friend, are you an adult yet?'
Little White Doesn't Taste Good: 'You're an adult now, right? Do you need to be an adult to find a husband?'
Little Boat's Moon: 'Of course, you don't have a husband now, do you?'
Xiao Bai doesn't like it: 'Yeah, I don't know where to find it.'
