After browsing the computer for a while, Xi Ling found several quick jobs online patching programs to cover today's expenses.
Looking at Elysia sleeping soundly on the bed, Xi Ling's eyes revealed a doting affection, like that of watching a child.
"Play to your heart's content. At least here, you don't need to worry about anything else. Just be happy."
... "Sister Xi Ling, good morning ♪"
"Good morning, Little Elysia. Huh? Wait, is it already the morning of the second day..."
Taking off her glasses and rubbing her dry eyes, Xi Ling looked at the sky, where the sun was already high. After uploading the patched code to the client, she gently took Elysia's hand.
"Let's go, Little Elysia, I'll take you to eat breakfast."
Leading Elysia to the hotel cafeteria, after ordering a sandwich and a glass of milk, Xi Ling typed on the keyboard with one hand while sipping a cup of concentrated black coffee with the other.
"Little Elysia, wait a moment, okay? Breakfast will be here soon."
"Sister Xi Ling, where are we going today ♪"
Elysia sat obediently on the chair, her beautiful big eyes blinking as she stared at Xi Ling.
"We won't go out for now today. Big Sister ordered some things, and we have to wait for them to arrive before we leave."
Xi Ling gently rubbed Elysia's head and spoke softly.
"If Little Elysia still wants to buy anything, there's still a little time today~"
"C-can I ♪"
"Of course you can. There's about two thousand yuan here. Little Elysia can just swipe this card for whatever you want to buy~"
"Mhm mhm, thank you, Sister Xi Ling. Sister Xi Ling is the best ♪"
The clothes she was forced to give up yesterday left Elysia feeling a bit regretful, and now she had time to make up for it. Leading Xi Ling in a quick trot to the clothing store, Elysia quickly found the clothes she had put back last time, and even grabbed two more pieces along the way.
"Sister Xi Ling, aren't you going to pick out two pieces? It seems like I've never seen you buy clothes ♪"
Elysia's question warmed Xi Ling's heart, but she still declined Elysia's suggestion.
"No, Big Sister doesn't really like buying new clothes. Besides... the things Big Sister bought are much more impressive than new clothes~"
"Eh! Can I see them ♪"
Meeting Elysia's bright eyes, Xi Ling smiled mysteriously.
"You'll find out when we get back~"
Carrying the clothes back to the hotel, Xi Ling saw a person wearing a Flame-Chasers uniform leaning against the wall waiting for her in the hallway. Behind him were several packages that didn't look too large.
After signing for the delivery, Elysia excitedly carried the packages back into the room. Tearing open the packaging, what came into view was a very sturdy laptop, two mobile phones, and a signal receiving unit. One of the phones even had a thoughtful pink casing painted on it.
"Hmm... a phone? And what are these other things? Eh, this pink phone looks really cute ♪"
"Do you like it? This phone is for you~"
"I love it ♪ Thank you, Sister Xi Ling ♪"
Elysia hugged the phone and kissed Xi Ling on the cheek, instantly making her face feel a little hot.
"Cough, cough. It's good that Little Elysia likes it. I'm going to study these things now. Oh right, let's exchange contact information first. That way, even if we get separated later, we can find each other quickly."
"We won't get separated! I'll follow Sister Xi Ling obediently ♪"
