Xiaofeng was offline. He spent two seconds to adapt to the new residence for a short time and then spent two more seconds to adapt to the extra creature in his arms.
The fluffy blond hair, the delicate and innocent face, and the trembling long eyelashes all indicated that she was Xiao Ling.
"Don"t pretend to sleep."
Xiaofeng straightened her body and leaned against the soft cushion on the big bed. He rubbed the back of Xiao Ling"s head. Based on his words, he had discovered that Xiao Ling was pretending to sleep.
"Do not touch Highness Zero"s head. I will not grow taller," she said with dissatisfaction. Xiao Ling shook her head heavily and got rid of Xiaofeng"s palm.
"Why not sleep on your own bed? Why did you get on my bed?" Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly but still reached out with his hand to tidy Xiao Ling"s messy blonde hair.
"Aren"t you happy to see lovely Highness Zero sleep by your side?" Xiao Ling lay in Xiaofeng"s arms and looked at Xiaofeng wickedly, allowing Xiaofeng to rub her long blond hair.
"Who would be excited about a 10-year-old girl, you freak?" Xiaofeng said with a shocked expression.
"Highness Zero is 12 years old, stupid!" Xiao Ling corrected him seriously.
"Well, well, well, 12 years old..." Xiaofeng murmured. A 12-year-old was also a child.
"Stupid servant, Highness Zero doesn"t want to go back to school," Xiao Ling suddenly said.
"It"s fine that you don"t want to go to school. I can find you a personal tutor," he said. Xiaofeng paused and continued to rub Xiao Ling"s fluffy blond hair.
"Stupid brother, will you take care of Highness Zero your whole life?" Xiao Ling suddenly asked. Her face was delicate and dreamy as a Barbie"s. She looked at Xiaofeng seriously.
"Of course, until you get married." Xiaofeng nodded without hesitation.
"Men are sloppy and wretched pigs. Highness Zero will not get married. Since you promised to take care of me your whole life, you can"t go back on your word." Xiao Ling had an abandoned expression on her face as she held Xiaofeng"s waist tightly. She felt nervous.
"Well, well, well... It"s fine if you don"t want to get married." Xiaofeng shook his head. Xiao Ling was only 12 years old. It was too early to talk about this topic with her.
"Highness Zero wants the latest video game and a big package of her favorite snacks." Xiao Ling, who was insatiable, hurriedly stated her requirements.
"I will buy them for you today, but you should get up now and have breakfast."
Xiaofeng got up and spoke in a doting voice. Quite a lot of things had happened yesterday, including the fact that they had moved to a new home. Xiao Ling looked fine superficially, but she had to be nervous and scared. Otherwise, she would not have rushed to his side as soon as she had woken up.
After breakfast, Xiaofeng did not go online. Instead, he accompanied Xiao Ling and went shopping the whole morning. This basically satisfied all her shopping requirements. He bought a lot of snacks for her, but still limited the amount she could have.
For example, she could drink a bottle of yogurt every two days, have a package of potato chips once a week, drink a bottle of cola every three days, and so on. Xiao Ling"s body state was not good enough. Eating too much junk food would not be good for her health. Thus, he ought to limit the amount.
Xiaofeng did not drive a car. Along the way, the exquisite Xiao Ling attracted the attention of countless pa.s.sersby. They sighed with feeling and looked at this little girl, who seemed to have come out of a fairy tale.
"It will be fantastic if the minor protection system is canceled."
In the flourishing city center, Myth"s posters and videos spread all over the high streets and back lanes. Along the way, Xiao Ling felt upset. She had hoped to play this game, but was prevented by her age. She could not buy a game helmet, so she could not apply for an account.
Xiaofeng was also browsing the official website forum from time to time to learn about the big events happening in the game world and keep up with the progress of the game.
For example, this morning, the Treasure House would hold another auction and sell two guild tokens.
The fame of the Treasure Pavilion and the two guild tokens indicated that this auction would be absolutely extraordinary. Compared to the first auction that had shocked the whole Huaxia District, this one would not be bad.
However, Xiaofeng felt somewhat puzzled. Had Qian Duoduo not reached a good deal with War Spirit Ziyi? Why would the guild token show up at the auction? There was one more token, which had not been acquired by Xiaofeng. This meant that someone else would be selling one. It seemed that experts were abundant in Huaxia District.
The guild token would be dropped only if a level-30 BOSS was killed. Therefore, anyone who could get a guild token and sell it at an auction had to be a master or a team of experts.
The big guild could kill a level-30 BOSS by using the huge-crowd strategy. However, even if they got a guild token, it had to have some other uses. It was impossible to put it up for auction.
At present, except for the auction in the Treasure Pavilion, one of the latest major events in Huaxia District was the defensive war in the encampment of the Dynasty. A guild had been built in the Dynasty a day before. On the base of the Dynasty"s history, no one doubted that the defensive war would succeed.
In addition, there was another major event related to Xiaofeng. The Glory Guild listed Master Healer, the first person in Huaxia District, in their culprit orders. This was the third culprit order of a large-scale guild to kill Master Healer after Midsummer and Doomsday League. Countless players were curious about the reasons.
Since there were no more big events worthy of his attention, Xiaofeng prepared to go back to his villa to go online after finishing his shopping trip with Xiao Ling. The moment they arrived at the villa, he received a phone call from a stranger.
"Excuse me, are you looking for a babysitter?"
It was the number of a stranger. The voice on the phone was a soft, timid female voice.
"Yes." Xiaofeng, who was stunned for a moment, remembered that he had published a recruitment ad online indeed. He had done so the moment he had entered the game world. He was afraid that he would not have enough time to take care of Xiao Ling. Therefore, he had released this announcement.
"Em... can I apply?" Judging by the voice coming through the phone, the girl was not young. She seemed to be afraid of speaking with strangers. She sounded timid and weak. If Xiaofeng had had some kind of problem with his hearing, he would not have heard what she"d said clearly.
"Do you want to apply to be a babysitter? Of course, I have indicated in the recruitment announcement that the person you will serve is really tough to deal with," Xiaofeng said as he looked at Xiao Ling, who was playing the latest video game and placing all the snacks and drinks around her. She also threw her socks all over the place.
He had specifically pointed out that the little girl was hard to serve in the recruitment announcement, which might be the reason no one had applied for the job.
"I, I can do it! Could you please tell me how much I will earn per month?" The girl"s voice seemed to be enhanced a little as she asked this question carefully.
"We can talk about this face to face. This is my address."
Xiaofeng smiled and told her the address of his villa. The girl sounded young and seemed to have no experience coping with people.
"Okay, okay... I will be there!"
When he hung up the phone, Xiaofeng was in no hurry to go online. He played games with Xiao Ling for a while and waited for the girl who had applied for the babysitter"s job.
However, the girl came a little later than Xiaofeng had expected. She arrived almost at noon.
"Excuse, excuse me... Is this the right place?"
Outside the villa, a short girl rang the visual doorbell and asked carefully if she was at the right place.
"Yes."
Xiaofeng opened the door and looked at the girl.
Although he had figured out that the girl was young, she was much younger than he had expected.
She was just around 14 or 15 years old. She might not even have reached high school age. She was so short that she was almost the same height as Xiao Ling. She had a beautiful appearance and had obviously been a beautiful girl growing up. However, she seemed to be shy and afraid of strangers. She lowered her face to her chest upon noticing that Xiaofeng was observing her.
"Em, em... My name is Ning Keke..."
Ning Keke lowered her head and spoke carefully. She tried her best to be brave as she spoke to Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng was still observing her. Ning Keke had brownish long hair that was naturally curly. She also seemed to be of foreign origin, just like Xiao Ling.
Her appearance was beautiful, and her skin was tender. She had to usually take care of her skin. However, based on her condition, she seemed not to have washed her face for more than a day.
Her forehead was sweaty, and she was panting slightly. Xiaofeng was stunned. Had she walked over there? Although the hilltop villa was located near the ecological city park, it was a long walk over there.
Ning Keke was wearing a white upper garment with long sleeves and a delicate hollow pattern. Based on the fabric"s texture, this garment had to be expensive. However, it was as dusty as its owner and there were some stains on it.
Judging by Ning Keke"s self-care, she was not a girl who did not care about being clean. There had to be some other reason for this.
She was wearing a pair of long pants that suited her well. She was also wearing a pair of white leather shoes. The quality of her clothes was good, but she had not washed them for a few days.
Xiaofeng concluded that Ning Keke was obviously from a rich family. She must have been over-nutritioned. Although she was short, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were already well-developed. She had a so-called baby face with big b.o.o.bs.
Based on her valuable clothes, her caution during their conversation, and her strict dressing style even though it was summer, Xiaofeng believed that she was a princess from a rich family. Why was she applying for a babysitter"s job?
"Have you reached the legal working age?" Xiaofeng asked.
"I, I can do anything... Please, please take me in..." Upon noticing the rejection behind Xiaofeng"s words, Ning Keke was so stunned that she started speaking nervously.
"Let"s talk inside."
Xiaofeng sighed silently. Why did he always come across this kind of trouble? Judging by Ning Keke"s behavior, she must have gotten into trouble. Otherwise, a princess from a rich family would not have been so dusty.
Xiaofeng took Ning Keke into the villa and poured a gla.s.s of water for her before sitting in front of her.
"Thank, thank you!"
Ning Keke took the cup and lifted her head to glance at Xiaofeng secretly. Then, she drank up the cup of water with small gulps. When she was finished, her face flushed in embarra.s.sment.
"Thank, thank you!"
Xiaofeng turned to give her another cup of water, and Ning Keke thanked him again.
"You"re Ning Keke, right? How old are you?"
Xiaofeng, who found it somewhat difficult to deal with this rabbit-like girl, asked. Needless to say, Ning Keke was really acting like a frightened rabbit.
"I, I am 14 years old... No, I am almost 15 years old."
Ning Keke spoke uneasily as she glanced at Xiaofeng carefully.
"You may be still in high school. Why do you want to apply for a babysitter"s job?" Xiaofeng asked again.
"I, I..."
