"please!"

Under the eaves covered by a shadow, Bai Qiyun made a sincere request to the girl in front of him.

Zhi Lin's matter had just been dealt with yesterday, and today he came to trouble her again. Even though he knew the person in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little worried on his face.

But it's no good not to come, because the vacancy in the program list caused by Cheng Lin's departure must be filled by someone. This time, a professional team was invited to provide assistance. If the other party is let go, let alone the financial losses.

, in terms of reputation alone, this campus that has just graduated its first class of graduates cannot afford it.

Therefore, in order to clean up the mess left by Cheng Lin, Bai Qiyun had no choice but to shamelessly ask the girl in front of him, which was regarded as the aftermath work he had entrusted before.

Hearing this, Yun Jin, who was wearing costume, sighed.

"Okay, then you have to agree to my request."

"You said, I'll do my best."

Seeing that Yun Jin didn't refuse directly, Bai Qiyun's eyes lit up and he knew there was a way.

The girl held her chin with her bare hands, her eyes sparkling.

"Well, I need to ask Lord Ningguang for advice later on, and I need you to recommend him to me."

Ningguang? That white hair?

"No problem, I can agree to the Ningguang matter on her behalf."

Although he didn't know what Yun Jin wanted to ask, Bai Qiyun was indeed qualified to say this.

The young man patted his chest, and the matter was settled.

"Tomorrow morning, someone will come to the school auditorium to invite you."

"good."

After finalizing the specific matters, Bai Qiyun quickly slipped out and no longer disturbed the normal work of Yunhan Society.

When the boy's figure disappeared at the far corner of the street, Yun Jin called her assistant.

"Put off tomorrow's arrangements."

"Ah? Mr. Yun, but tomorrow is——"

"Push it away."

"Ah good."

Frightened by her husband's slightly harsh tone, the assistant shrank her head and stepped aside.

After gathering her mood for a while, Yun Jin walked towards the stage. Today was the day she had agreed to go on stage, so she couldn't affect her condition.

Amid cheers, the famous actress stepped onto the stage that belonged to her.

————

After completing the task of handling the program list as promised to Keqing, Bai Qiyun felt light on his body.

Back at my restaurant, the guests were all waiting in the private room for their food.

He inspected the work of his employees like a boss.

Well, Mona is working hard.

Pamon is slacking off.

Ying...where did the person go?

A fox's cry came from outside the window. Bai Qiyun took a closer look and saw Ying, who was wearing a restaurant uniform, holding a carrot and teasing Xiao Bai.

He has raised this creature for so long and has never seen it eat carrots.

By the way, speaking of Xiaobai...

Bai Qiyun hurried to the back kitchen and didn't dare to say anything when he saw the old man tossing pots and pans back and forth. He took the things he had agreed upon before and walked to the backyard.

"Hey, you two go out with me."

The boy's voice made the girl look back.

"Both of us?"

Ying asked uncertainly as her green-white fingers swayed back and forth between the fox and herself.

"ah."

Bai Qiyun strode over and lifted the fox up from the ground with a face full of joy.

"Today I want to deliver food to Grandma Wang, so I have to take Xiaobai with me."

Holding the fox in his arms and throwing the lunch box to the girl, Bai Qiyun and his group wandered around the streets of Liyue Port.

As the footsteps faded away, the surrounding crowd became sparser.

Unknowingly, Ying saw a small wooden house not far away.

The house is not big, but it looks very neat and tidy.

There is a small courtyard outside the house, where there are several chickens and ducks. The big yellow dog at the door of the yard is lying on the ground enjoying the autumn evening. The evening breeze blows gently, and the big yellow dog sticks out its tongue comfortably.

Seeing someone approaching, the big yellow dog stood up instinctively, and after recognizing that it was Bai Qiyun, he lay back silently.

"Wang Po, I've brought you food!"

Before he could reach the door, Bai Qiyun shouted at the top of his lungs.

Not long after, an old woman with gray hair opened the door.

Although she is a bit older, Mrs. Wang's movements are quite neat, completely unlike someone of her age.

When she saw it was Bai Qiyun, a smile appeared on her face, which slightly diluted the wrinkles caused by time.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, come and sit down."

Seeing the lunch boxes they were carrying, Mrs. Wang quickly welcomed them into the house.

There was no clutter in the house, just simple furniture and daily necessities, which was completely different from Paimon's house filled with snacks.

The old man put the lunch box aside and was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he started chatting with Bai Qiyun.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. You've grown into a big boy in such a short time."

There was an inexplicable brilliance in the old man's eyes, as if he had seen the past.

The last time we met was when Bai Qiyun first entered the new college.

That day she passed by the newly built school. In the blink of an eye, she heard that the child was about to graduate. Time flew by so fast.

"Ah, it's... not bad."

The inadvertent concern was the hardest for Bai Qiyun to resist. He touched his head, feeling a little shy.

However, Ying on the side seemed to see something was wrong. Although the old man's eyes were focused on Bai Qiyun, they were somewhat erratic, as if he was recalling something.

"Not only have I grown taller, but even Xiaobai has gained weight, look at it."

He handed over the fox with a stinky face, and Mrs. Wang looked at it for a while.

Xiaobai, who was still drooping in Bai Qiyun's arms, immediately changed her face, and her smile made Bai Qiyun want to pinch her hard.

"Huh? Is this Xiaobai? I remember that Xiaobai was not a cat?"

Although Wang Po's eyesight is dim, she still remembers that when she accompanied her husband to a restaurant for dinner many years ago, what she saw was a cat. This, no matter what, it looked like a fox.

"Ah, cat, that's right, it's a cat."

Bai Qiyun pinched Xiaobai quickly. His face wrinkled up in pain, but he still had to force himself to laugh.

If Paimon had seen it like this, it would probably kill three large bowls of rice.

"Meow~"

The little guy reluctantly squeezed out a weird meow from his throat.

"Well, you should eat first. If you don't, the food will get cold. We have something to do at the restaurant and we'll go back first."

Realizing that he would waste a lot of time if he didn't leave, Bai Qiyun quickly stood up and left.

"Well, be careful along the way."

Seeing the two people leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Wang made no attempt to persuade them to stay, but her eyes stayed behind Bai Qiyun for a long, long time.

As soon as he walked outside the house, Xiao Bai immediately slipped into Ying's hand and no longer stayed with Bai Qiyun.

Touching the aggrieved fox on her hand, Ying said what she just noticed was wrong.

"Ah, you are talking about Mrs. Wang. In fact, she was not a frequent visitor to Tingyuge before. It was just that her husband was a regular visitor, so she came with him."

Speaking of her husband, Bai Qiyun's face was filled with a hint of sadness.

He walked ahead without any intention of looking back, but his mouth didn't stop.

"You know, what happened in Liyue Port ten years ago."

"Um."

"At that time, the old man lost his husband and grandson at the same time. The family that had lost his son and daughter-in-law fell apart in an instant."

Thinking of the figures of boys and girls flashing before his eyes at that time, Bai Qiyun couldn't help closing his eyes and shaking his head.

At that time, he stretched out his hands, but could not touch anyone, leaving only regrets on the ground.

"If Grandma Wang's grandson grows up safely, he should be as old as me. Maybe when she looks at me, she is only looking at her deceased grandson."

Bai Qiyun looked at the setting sun falling on the horizon, not knowing what he was thinking.

"And there are countless people like Wang Po who lost their loved ones in that fire, so I have to live on and live on their behalf."
