44: I'm not a three-year-old anymore.
Chen Xiangbei and the others had mischievous smiles, wearing expressions that said, "I get it."
Li An said bitterly, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really don't have the time. If I could, I'd rather take care of kids than haul bricks."
"Me too, the company is preparing to go public recently, and the Boss is working us to death, constantly pressuring us. If I had time, I'd definitely help you take care of her." Hu Dong spread his hands helplessly.
Wang Ziyi also knew they were busy with work, but he really couldn't think of anyone else to ask for help, and he wasn't at ease hiring an Auntie either.
At this moment, Chen Xiangbei patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, you still have me. I'll help you look after her for two days. Let's make it clear, just two days, I'll be busy in a few days."
After hearing this, Wang Ziyi was revitalized and instantly came back to life.
He quickly grabbed Chen Xiangbei's hand and said with snot and tears.
"Good Brother, thank you so much! You've really solved my urgent problem! Don't worry, it's just for two days, I'll treat you to a meal when I get back."
"Alright, it's settled then. Will she come home with me in a bit?" Chen Xiangbei said.
"Tomorrow then, give me your address. I'll bring her and her luggage to your place tomorrow. I'm not leaving until tomorrow noon anyway, and Pengcheng isn't far from here."
"Okay then, I'll send you my location and house number. You can just come directly tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at home." After Chen Xiangbei finished speaking, he sent him the address.
Looking at the time, it was already 9:30, and the few of them were a bit tipsy, so they prepared to head back.
Li An and Hu Dong both came by taxi, so they could just take a taxi back.
Wang Ziyi drove here with Wang Xinyi.
Chen Xiangbei called a designated driver for him at the entrance of Tianfu Building, paid extra, and instructed the driver to take him inside the house.
Although Chen Xiangbei drank a lot, his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he wasn't drunk at all.
But he still called a designated driver, after all, he had to obey traffic rules.
After the designated driver drove the car back to the Galaxy International parking lot and handed the keys to Chen Xiangbei.
Then he took his electric bike from the back of the car and slowly drove away.
Chen Xiangbei took the several fish boxes from the car back home, preparing to give them a thorough cleaning. They hadn't been washed for so long they were almost covered in grime.
After returning home, he put the boxes in the bathroom.
He turned on the faucet to fill them with water, and poured in some deodorizer. The smell was too strong to start cleaning.
After the smell dissipated, Chen Xiangbei took a steel wool brush with a handle and cleaned them thoroughly little by little from top to bottom.
It took him a full hour to clean the two large boxes and five small boxes. He took them all to the balcony to dry.
He went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee.
Holding the coffee, he stood on the balcony, staring blankly at the scenery outside, his thoughts drifting beyond the stars.
He didn't know when it started, but he had become a bit fond of zoning out.
Silently looking at the distance or the sky, he fantasized about interstellar wars and the end of the world.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, he descended like a god and took down five with one blow.
One Buddha's Palm saved the world, capturing alien cat-eared girls and bunny-eared girls to be his servants.
From then on, he began a shameless life with the beast-eared girls...
After finishing a cup of coffee, and the grand finale of a fantasy story, he returned to the kitchen to wash the coffee cup, and then started cleaning.
Little Wang Xinyi will be coming to stay tomorrow, so he needed to clean up.
It was fine if he lived a bit sloppily when he was alone, but when someone was coming, he always had to tidy up.
First, he put the home decorations back in place, and then swept and mopped the floor.
It wasn't actually very dirty, just to make the house look tidier.
After cleaning, it was his turn to take a shower. Taking a shower before bed would improve sleep quality.
At 12 o'clock at night, the System's voice sounded on time.
[Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +185,000 yuan, average hourly wage 185,000 yuan, System reward amount 2,405,000 yuan, Intelligence +0.01, Settlement points +1000, please keep up the good work!]
[Bank Card Number 4539] received 2,405,000 yuan at 00:01, balance 5,402,178.8 yuan.
"This is the second time the Intelligence reward has been triggered. Before, it was always the Physical Fitness reward. Is it because I didn't expend much physical energy yesterday, so the conditions for triggering the Physical Fitness reward weren't met?"
"Or could it be that money earned through physical labor always rewards Physical Fitness points, while the opposite rewards Intelligence points?" Chen Xiangbei pondered the possibilities between the two.
Thinking this way seemed to make sense.
In most previous settlements, the money was earned through physical labor, and Physical Fitness rewards appeared frequently. Today, without expending effort, he received Intelligence points instead.
Regarding the rewards for Physical Fitness and Intelligence, he would have to experiment further in the future.
His bank card balance successfully exceeded 5 million yuan, getting closer and closer to a house in Linhai.
A quiet environment always easily makes people sleepy, and he fell asleep without realizing it.
In his dream, there were no Star Wars, no end of the world, only a room full of beast-eared girls.
The next morning at 7 o'clock, he woke up from bed and still went to the balcony to exercise first.
Today's goal for planking was to last a bit longer than yesterday.
Adding one minute every day and becoming a superhero in a year, that was impossible.
Improving a little every day and staying healthy allows one to use limited time to experience more interesting things.
Only after exercising did he start washing up.
A little after 8 in the morning, just as Chen Xiangbei came out of the bathroom, Wang Ziyi called.
"Hey, Xiangbei, are you up yet? I'm about to bring Xin Yi over to your place. Do you want me to bring you some breakfast on the way?"
"Sure, I want wonton noodles. Bring me three large bowls with plenty of meat, plus five tea eggs. Remember to tell the Boss to pack the wontons and soup separately," Chen Xiangbei instructed.
"Are you a pig? You want three portions? Alright, alright, I'll bring it for you. I'll buy Xin Yi's too while I'm at it. You can feed her later, okay?" Wang Ziyi said.
"Okay, okay, hurry over. Daddy's starving to death." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, Wang Xinyi, sitting in Wang Ziyi's car, was angry and said huffily.
"I don't want anyone to feed me! I'm not a three-year-old anymore, I can eat by myself. Only big dummies need someone to feed them, hmph!"
"Brother isn't afraid you'll get burned? Look, these wontons are steaming hot. If you accidentally get burned, you won't be able to eat delicious food," Wang Ziyi explained patiently.
"I won't! I always eat by myself at kindergarten. Only kids in the small class need the teacher to feed them. We big kids are very sensible!"
Wang Xinyi looked at the steaming hot wontons, feeling a bit scared but not wanting to be looked down upon by her Brother, so she said stubbornly.
Wang Ziyi was also helpless and could only coax her according to her wishes.
At the same time, he instructed her that when she got to Chen Xiangbei's house, she should be obedient, not cause trouble for Chen Xiangbei Gege, and if anything happened, she should tell Brother Chen, and he would help her solve it.
