Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

Etheris accompanied Shuzao as he waited for his formidable rival in love—Xingyao.

"Brother Xingyao".

"Good morning, Shuzao," Xingyao said casually, not as formal as when they had met before. His hair was loose, and strands fluttered in the wind.

"Didn't I tell you you didn't need to come pick me up? It's a bit cold at the White Tower at night."

Xingyao took out a coat from the space chip and put it on Shuzao, a smile spreading across his face. "But I'm very happy that you came to pick me up."

Standing two meters away, Etheris could tell at a glance that Xingyao's cultivation was far superior to his: his level was higher than his, his eyes were sharp, and he was someone not to be trifled with.

She's the scheming type; I can't live like this anymore.

Shu Zao had already sided with Fu Yuan over him, and Xing Yao was currently at the top of the food chain, while he himself was at the bottom.

Etheris was unaware that he was about to see the real bottom, because Elisa was almost there.

"You... this... fits you quite well."

"I bought this for you, and I've washed it."

"Brother Xingyao," Shuzao introduced him to Xingyao, "His name is Etheris, and he's also my personal sentinel."

The two sides exchanged brief greetings.

"By the way, Xingyao-ge, have you had dinner yet?"

"I just threw something together."

"Then I'll make you a bowl of noodles; you won't be able to sleep if you're hungry tonight."

Etheris: "Shuzao, me too!"

"it is good."

That should be enough to eat.

She really thought Etheris was a glutton, a loose tongue, and a complete foodie.

They eat whatever you give them; they're easier to raise than pigs.

Shu Zao told the three of them to sit down and get to know each other, then went into the kitchen to boil water, insisting that he didn't need to follow her.

As soon as afternoon training ended, Etheris and Fuyuan came looking for their mother like tadpoles looking for their mother.

They found her incredibly quickly!

Fu Yuan and Xing Yao's noodles are served in bowls, while Etheris's noodles are carried out in basins.

Seeing this, Etheris felt that Shuzao treated him differently.

Shu Zao also had a bowl, and she ate quite a lot, but compared to them, she was still slightly inferior.

After Fu Yuan and Etheris left, Xing Yao asked Shu Zao to find him an empty room.

"I've finished preparing your room."

"Yes, I've prepared a gift for you."

When she saw the "gift", Shuzao couldn't help but scream with excitement. Her voice attracted Fuyuan and Etheris, who were eavesdropping at their respective doors.

Upon entering the house, they saw it filled with clothes and jewelry, arranged in a very tiered manner.

Clearly, each of the star items was prepared with care.

"There's still not enough space. Shuzao needs another room." Xingyao's voice was calm, but his eyes held a smile.

Her reaction was exactly what he expected, and he was actually happier to see her expression than he had anticipated.

"Brother Xingyao, how much have you prepared?"

How could he be so good at giving gifts?!

"I bought them thinking you would like them, and before I knew it, I had bought quite a lot. At that time, I didn't want to give them to you because I was afraid you would feel burdened. I never thought I would have the day to give them to you by hand."

Xingyao was telling the two sentries beside him that these weren't his own private Xingbei, but ones he had bought before.

Fu Yuan and Etheris exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away in disgust.

The next room was filled with shoes of all styles, which Xingyao had arranged when she installed the space chip.

Each pair of shoes has its own 'space'.

Shu Zao's eyes suddenly lit up; there were dozens of pairs of high heels among them.

When she goes to work in the comfort room, she sometimes wears chunky high heels, less than five centimeters high.

She hadn't bought any stilettos because they weren't very practical for her, but now Xingyao bought all the styles she wanted, even the colors were ones she liked.

"Does Shuzao like it?"

"I like it, I like it, I like it." Shu Zao nodded her head more frequently than a rattle drum.

She couldn't stop smiling.

"Then try on the shoes." Xingyao picked up a pair of blue stilettos and squatted down in front of Shuzao.

"I'll do it myself."

"If it's inconvenient for you to put them on, I'll help you." Xingyao let Shuzao sit on the shoe-changing stool while he focused intently on changing her shoes.

The heel is 8cm, the upper is studded with sparkling blue diamonds, two pearl ankle chains are wrapped around the ankle, and the toe is a shallow pointed design.

"Walk around in them for a bit, see if they rub your feet or if they're stable." Xingyao stood up, reached out and grabbed Shuzao's hand, helping her walk.

"These shoes don't rub my feet at all, Xingyao-ge, they're perfect for me, thank you." They made her legs look even longer.

Shu Zao's smile was so bright that she seemed to glow. Her smile infected the three sentries present, and the atmosphere became inexplicably more harmonious.

"There's no need for formalities between us."

He prepared these gifts with a little other purpose in mind.

If Shuzao wants extra family members, they'll have to open up a new floor for them to live on.

Living a little further away is always better.

This is thanks to information previously leaked by Kassi.

After trying on a few more pairs of shoes, Shuzao closed the door with a slight smile.

Fu Yuan and Etheris closed the door again.

"Why didn't you ask me for help back then?" Xingyao's sudden, seemingly nonsensical question didn't leave Shuzao dumbfounded.

"That's something that happens inside the White Tower; you can't stop it, it's a waste of your effort." A distant solution can't quench an immediate thirst.

"It won't happen again." He came to her side.

"Um."

Fu Yuan returned to her room, turned on the light screen, and found the family group chat.

[Fu Yuan]: Quick, lend me some Star Coins. @All Family Members

[Second Dad]: What's wrong? Didn't you say your personal mentor was good?

They're not even giving us Starbucks anymore?

[Fu Yuan]: Xing Yao came today. He brought Shu Zao a room full of clothes and jewelry, plus a room full of shoes. Judging from Shu Zao's eyes, there wasn't a single item she didn't like.

[Third Sister]: What you said makes me a little tempted.

She likes these things too.

[Dad]: I'm reporting him for hiding Starbucks!!!

If a whistle doesn't act in his own self-interest, he'll be condemned by heaven and earth.

[Fu Yuan]: He said he bought it before he became Shuzao's exclusive sentry.

[Mom]: Even if it's just picking them one by one.

Why didn't she encounter this kind of situation? Her personal sentinels were rather dull and not romantic at all.

[Second Dad]: Are you planning to imitate Dong Shi (a famous Chinese poet) in a bad way?

This kid's return is probably what caused the family conflict!

[Third Sister]: My younger brother, the third sister also likes this kind of thing.

[Fu Yuan]: What should I buy?

[Third Sister]: Just look for yourself. See what she needs, not what you think she needs.

【扶愿】: Saying something is as good as saying nothing at all.

[Second Dad]: How are you going to explain to her where your Starfish came from?

[Mom]: Honey, maybe we should just forget about it. Don't mess around with things for no reason. I think your emotional intelligence is too low, and you're not suited for this kind of surprise attack.

Don't anger the director.

the other side,

Unwilling to give up, Etheris took out a pillow from the space chip, bit it repeatedly, and after venting her anger, she leaned against the pillow prepared by Shuzao and fell asleep instantly.

In the morning, Fu Yuan leaned against the door of Shu Zao's room. As soon as Shu Zao came out, Fu Yuan pulled her into the room, pinned her against the wall, and blocked her way with her hands on the wall.

"From now on, you can call me Brother Fuyuan."

He was upset all night and decided not to let himself suffer internally.

Whether Shuzao agrees or not is up to her; at least he has told her his demands.

"Just for this?"

"Um."

"Xingyao told me about this last night. From now on, just call me by my name."

"Tsk, I should have thought of that." Xingyao was incredibly shrewd; knowing himself well, he was sure he would guess that he would seek out Shuzao for 'feedback'.

And he just wanted to make it easy for Shuzao to be a 'guide'!

I'm feeling a bit irritable.

"Fu Yuan, you didn't ask me anything in the contaminated area and just let me wash my hands. I'll remember that for the rest of my life."

Fu Yuan rolled up her sleeves to halfway up her forearms, and then used a bit of force in her wrists, causing the veins to bulge under her skin, which inexplicably struck a chord with Shu Zao.
