Qi Yuan was somewhat puzzled when Xiu suddenly commented on him, "What kind of person am I?"

"You seem gentle and quiet, and you even help others. I thought you were a kind-hearted person who didn't fight with the world. I didn't expect you to be a vengeful person. Not only do you hold grudges, but you also find ways to get revenge."

That was indeed the impression Qi Yuan gave Xiu, because Qi Yuan had always given off this impression in front of others: he didn't talk much, and his expression was always calm, as if the world would explode tomorrow and he still wouldn't change his expression.

Qi Yuan hadn't expected to give others this impression, and said, "I always seek revenge. Don't mess with me unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm also quite petty."

Xiu had gained a new understanding of Qi Yuan today. Seeing that Qi Yuan was standing, he asked, "Is your foot better?"

"Hmm, there's still a little pain, but as long as I don't exert myself or run, I can walk without any problems."

“You’re in a worse situation than me. You joined the Davis family early and got injured on your very first day.”

"You're wrong. I was already injured before I came in. It was an alcohol allergy, caused by Noah."

Recalling his first meeting with Noah, Qi Yuan suddenly felt as if it had been just yesterday that they met. However, it seemed like a month had already passed. After all, his hand and leg injuries had healed, so it couldn't have been less than a month.

"No wonder the patriarch is trying so hard to please you now; it turns out he didn't make a good first impression." Xiu suddenly realized.

Just then, Xiu caught a glimpse of Shi Bai out of the corner of his eye. He noticed that Shi Bai was staring intently at Qi Yuan and quickly asked, "Xiao Bai, why are you staring at A Yuan?"

"Mr. Qi Yuan is very handsome."

“You can’t stare at someone just because they’re good-looking. Aren’t I good-looking too?” Xiu was a little jealous. Although he knew that Qi Yuan and Shi Bai could never be together, out of his possessiveness towards his lover, even if Shi Bai was an old man half-buried in the ground, he couldn’t look at him more than he looked at himself.

"Mr. Qi Yuan is the first person from the Eastern Continent I met in the Northern Continent. Mr. Qi Yuan, which city in the Eastern Continent did you live in before?" Shi Bai asked.

Qi Yuan replied, "I was born in the Northern Continent. I only heard my parents say when I was a child that my hometown was in the southern part of the Eastern Continent. It is spring-like all year round there, and it doesn't snow in winter. However, the air is a bit humid. There is a season called the 'return of the south'. During the 'return of the south', no matter how you hang your clothes, they will never get clean. The walls and windows are covered with water droplets. It is a particularly torturous climate."

"By the way, you're younger than me, so call me Brother Qi. There's no need to be so formal as to call me 'sir'," Qi Yuan added.

Shi Bai looked at Qi Yuan with some envy, "That's great. You still remember some of the living conditions in Dongzhou. I was sold to Beizhou by my parents when I was very young. I can't remember anything about Dongzhou, but the most vivid memory I have is of sweet and sour fruit wrapped in sugar. Before I left Dongzhou, my father bought me a skewer. I was eating it like an idiot, completely unaware of what was going on. I just remember liking that snack very much..."

When talking about the past, Shi Bai's face showed a hint of disappointment.

Qi Yuan looked at him with some sympathy. He was a transmigrator who had lived in his original world for twenty-three years. Although this world was chaotic and disorderly, some places were similar to his original world, while others were completely different.

But after hearing Shi Bai's description, he quickly knew what it was and said, "The snack you mentioned should be candied hawthorn. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you. However, we probably don't have hawthorn berries here, which are those little red fruits."

Shi Bai's coral-colored eyes lit up immediately. "You can do it?"

"Ah."

"Brother Qi, you're amazing! How did you do that?" Shi Bai looked at Qi Yuan with admiration.

"Because it's not difficult to do."

Qi Yuan's words were somewhat pretentious. Candied hawthorns are easy to make, but the most difficult part is the outer layer of sugar. If you can make the sugar well, then it's not difficult to make.

"Brother Qi, can you teach me?" Shi Bai asked.

Qi Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Perhaps because they were both from Dongzhou, Qi Yuan seemed particularly willing to communicate with him. Xiu had known Qi Yuan for so many days, but this was the first time he had seen Qi Yuan so talkative. To be honest, sometimes Qi Yuan was so quiet that people who didn't know him well almost thought he was mute.

Patty found her toolbox and returned with Catherine, who couldn't wait to add all sorts of little flowers to Shi Bai's long, black hair.

Qi Yuan noticed that Shi Bai's hair was almost touching the ground and suggested cutting it. Upon hearing this, Xiu immediately opened his eyes and said that he liked Shi Bai with long hair and that it couldn't be cut.

Qi Yuan rolled his eyes at him: "Does it have to be this long? At this length, if you don't flirt with it when you go to the toilet, it'll leave a stench."

He paused for a moment.

Shi Bai's hair was already quite long, and after not cutting it for half a year, it had grown quite a bit longer. It was true that if he didn't brush it off when he went to the toilet, it would leave a lingering smell.

"Then cut it, but don't cut it too short."

Xiu really liked long hair. He not only made Shi Bai keep it, but his own hair was also shoulder-length.

Qi Yuan glanced at the length of Shi Bai's hair and roughly knew what length to leave for him. He then asked for scissors and began to cut Shi Bai's hair.

Qi Yuan used to cut his own and his adoptive father's hair often. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the 50 yuan haircut fee, but rather that he told Tony the hairdresser to cut it a little shorter, and Tony could give him a bowl cut.

When he was a child, Qi Yuan was made to cry by his hairdresser, Tony. He didn't like his overly handsome face, but he also couldn't stand Tony making him look too ugly. For a long time, he thought that Tony was jealous of his good looks and deliberately cut his hair so ugly.

From then on, Qi Yuan never taught anyone else how to cut his hair. He would just trim it himself, and before he knew it, he had really developed his haircutting skills.

Shi Bai cut his hair very well.

Shi Bai's long, flowing hair was cut by Qi Yuan to just shoulder length, with distinct layers and a full back of her head.

Xiu was quite satisfied with the length, but he couldn't hold on any longer. He was still injured and fell into a deep sleep.

It was almost lunchtime, so Qi Yuan asked Shi Bai to play with Petty while he went to cook lunch for everyone.

Although Shi Bai had eaten a lot of Dongzhou cuisine with Xiu, those were modified versions. Qi Yuan planned to cook an authentic Dongzhou meal for Shi Bai to try.

At this moment, Daphne also received a report from her subordinates that Shi Bai had been found by Noah.

Upon hearing this news, Daphne blinked in confusion. "Why is Noah looking for Xiu's lover? Are they going to play a threesome?"

"Mrs. Daphne, Shi Bai is currently at the Davis residence. Should we look for an opportunity to capture him?" the assistant asked.

Daphne's face darkened. "Noah has already found the person. If we try to arrest him now, it would be like kidnapping him. Only a fool would go against Noah!"
