Although she was a bit mischievous, her good looks were undeniable, especially Bai Yi's innocent big eyes, which melted the hearts of these older women.
The cuter Bai Yi and Mu Xitang act, the more someone's awfulness is highlighted!
What bad intentions could such a cute and pretty girl have?
The old director has already started looking for clothes. Although this is a mental hospital, some children have been invited to perform here before, and some costumes that were bought too much are stored in the warehouse.
Soon, he pulled out two sets of red cotton-padded jackets, which were embroidered with cute chibi pink dragons.
"Haha, these are the leftovers from the friendship performance we invited to the Beihai Kindergarten students last Dragon Boat Festival. Try them on."
It's red and pink, and the cartoon characters on it are so lifelike.
Facing the camera, the two little ones showed no signs of social anxiety whatsoever, displaying their "socially adept" nature as they twirled around while offering their blessings.
I believe that all the rumors will dissipate once the show begins.
Seeing them happily recording the video, Sun Wei returned to her room.
Jiang Xiao hasn't come out yet.
She wasn't sure if she'd make it tonight's Spring Festival Gala. She'd already bought the ingredients, and if all went well, she hoped to cook New Year's Eve dinner with Jiang Xiao this afternoon.
She still remembered the dinner that Jiang Xiao prepared for her with the three little ones in the ghost story.
Jiang Xiao was about to leave, but B2 and the others persuaded him to stay.
It's not that I regret giving him the three projects or anything; I mainly want to develop a relationship with him.
He even deliberately arranged for Du Lala to sit next to Jiang Xiao and drink with him.
"Excuse me, could you please bring me a bottle of Coke? If not, orange juice with pulp will do."
Jiang Xiao stood up and subtly explained that he couldn't hold his liquor.
Not drinking?
Well, everyone present understood Jiang Xiao's refusal to drink, and no one felt that Jiang Xiao was disrespecting them.
After all, he had a special identity and had just completed an important mission.
After battling with Pennywise for so long, it's understandable that he was a little tired.
Before long, the waiter brought out chilled cola and orange juice with pulp.
Jiang Xiao nodded slightly in thanks, then took a small, elegant sip.
"Tsk, no way. In the outside world, I only drink 1982 Coke, and the pulp in my orange juice is all freshly squeezed orange juice. This is a bit perfunctory."
Everyone smiled ingratiatingly; they could tell that Jiang Xiao was just joking.
The atmosphere at lunch was unusually harmonious, with the staff of the Bureau of Mystery frequently toasting Jiang Xiao.
Although they knew Jiang Xiao didn't drink alcohol, they still had to be polite.
Jiang Xiao would occasionally raise his glass to drink tea instead of wine, responding to everyone's enthusiasm.
However, it must be said that the food here is indeed very unique.
On the dining table, the dishes were exquisite and delicious, and their color, aroma, taste, shape and presentation were works of art.
how to say
It can't be said to be better than the food on Earth, but both the texture and flavor gave Jiang Xiao a sense of novelty.
Jiang Xiao tried several of the specialty dishes and praised them highly.
He knew that although these people were from the Bureau of the Strange and Mysterious Affairs, they were also flesh-and-blood human beings.
Putting everything else aside, Jiang Xiao did see that the price on the invoice they issued was more than five times higher than the actual price of the vegetables.
Haha, as expected, this is human nature. From ancient times to the present, the rampant bureaucracy has never ceased.
Several senior officials from the Administration Bureau even chatted with Jiang Xiao for a while, discussing some light topics, seemingly deliberately avoiding the heavy workload.
But the implication was simply that they hoped Jiang Xiao would stay, though they didn't say it explicitly.
"Jiang Xiao, you're a real talent! I feel like your talent is being wasted on Blue Star. Well, we can keep in touch and cooperate more often in the future! It's not a bad thing anyway."
Jiang Xiao was happy to enjoy this relaxed atmosphere, so he pretended to be stupid, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Since he had already gotten what he wanted, he naturally wouldn't feel any aversion to the meal.
Jiang Xiao's attitude made the people from the Bureau of Mysteries secretly praise his spirituality and strength.
They knew that such a person was a rare find, and Jiang Xiao's ability and composure in handling the strange tales made them look at him with new respect.
They realized that there would likely be opportunities to work with Jiang Xiao again in the future, so cultivating a relationship and getting closer was undoubtedly a wise move.
After lunch, Jiang Xiao got up to say goodbye.
He knew that Sun Wei and their two children were probably waiting for him, and that there was also the Spring Festival Gala tonight.
The staff at the management bureau didn't try to keep him too long, just told him to contact them if he needed anything, and then watched him leave.
[Strange Rules: Do You Think I'm an idiot?]
Jiang Xiao: "I'm just asking you, are these two projects?"
[Strange Rules: A project is a project, don't you know my requirements? Everyone knows I need two strange artifacts, what use is this thing?]
Jiang Xiao is holding one project in each hand.
What he's holding in his left hand is: a digestive collar.
One is a collar that can increase the body's digestion speed by five times.
"Well, anyway, wouldn't this collar be a perfect complement to a mukbang streamer?"
[Strange Rules: Why would I need a gluttonous collar?]
Well.
How apt!
No wonder Jiang Xiao felt there was something wrong with the project name; changing "digestion" to "rice bucket" would indeed make much more sense.
"Then this one."
Project Name: Dream Control Bracelet
It is possible to become aware that one is dreaming and then manipulate it.
[Strange Tales of Rules: This is interesting, but it's nothing special. The methods of dream control are something a normal person could also master by constantly giving themselves psychological suggestions and repeatedly trying.]
[Strange Tales of Rules: I might call it a wish-fulfillment bracelet.]
Jiang Xiao:
That makes so much sense; he couldn't refute it for a moment.
"But today is Chinese New Year."
[Strange Tales of Rules: What Does It Mean?]
"I also have a daughter who's still in the ghost stories; this is our Dragon Kingdom's once-a-year reunion day."
[Strange Rules: Speak your mind; I only follow the principle of equivalent exchange here.]
"Could I use these two projects to get Shi Shi to spend a few days with us? Seven days? If not, three days will do?"
Chapter 468 Retrieving Shi Shi!
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Xiao's face. He took a deep breath, trying to hide his emotions.
But those expectant eyes could not hide the loneliness in his heart.
"One day? One day is fine. I can give you the peach wood sword and Project 16, the Freeze Bell, too!"
Strange Tales of Rules:
Strangely enough, Jiang Xiao, who is usually rational in his transactions, actually took the initiative to make a losing deal this time.
It should be noted that both the peach wood sword and the time-freezing bell can be considered as separate magical artifacts.
After they go through another ghost story, the two of them can finally get Shi Shi out of the ghost story forever.
"Please? I'm begging you."
Jiang Xiao pleaded with the ghost story in an almost humble tone.
He didn't know what happened, but today, at this very moment.
He desperately wanted to bring Shi Shi out to spend the New Year with him, even at any cost, just to have her by his side for one day, just one day would be enough.
Perhaps the Chinese people have an innate definition of "reunion" for the Spring Festival.
This is the first time the ghost story has encountered Jiang Xiao like this.
At this moment, a girl with pigtails was jumping up and down on a chair.
She glared angrily at Jiang Xiao's humble appearance.
"What's wrong with that animal-eared girl? Is she something that makes you feel so inferior?"
Thinking of this, she straightened the small microphone on the table.
