Of course, Zhu Juntang wasn't wearing a fairy dress under her sheep costume; it was just a thin, warm bodysuit. She lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, rolling around and calling out, "Zhong Qing... Qingqing..."

Zhong Qing brought in tea, placed the tray next to Liu Chang'an, looked at Zhu Juntang lying on the ground, and sighed softly.

You were just having a good time with Zhou Dongdong, and suddenly you came over to provoke Liu Chang'an. Didn't you think about the consequences before doing something like this? Zhong Qing reached out and helped Zhu Juntang up.

"He bullied me again!" Zhu Juntang accused Liu Chang'an, then tugged at her clothes and looked at her stomach. Luckily, there were no bruises from the electric shock.

This is what they mean by good deeds being rewarded. Zhu Juntang is ultimately a kind little fairy, so the electric current from the ram's horn wasn't very strong. If she had followed her original plan and managed to electrocute Liu Chang'an until he fainted... then she would be a roasted ram now.

Liu Chang'an didn't say anything. Thinking about it carefully, it was basically Zhu Juntang who provoked him, and that's why he retaliated... It felt a bit unbelievable that he hadn't killed her yet.

"I want to get revenge on him." Zhu Juntang stood up, wiping away her tears as she sobbed, and then sidled over to him.

When will this ever end? Zhong Qing didn't stop her, nor did she intend to stay and take care of her. She picked up the tray and left. Normally, other servants would do this kind of thing, but often when Miss Zhu did something that was inappropriate for outsiders to see, it was Zhong Qing who did it.

Helping Zhu Juntang maintain the image of a cool and elegant young lady is simply the chief assistant's job.

"I'm going to bite you." Zhu Juntang walked up to Liu Chang'an and warned him first. Seeing that he was not on guard, she quickly lowered her head and bit Liu Chang'an's hand.

It's impossible to bite through.

Zhu Juntang wiped Liu Chang'an's hand. Right, she wasn't made of steel, so biting him would be pointless. So Zhu Juntang took a sip of water to rinse her mouth, then took a lipstick and drew a lip on the back of Liu Chang'an's hand, and then drew two sharp teeth on the lip.

Liu Chang'an was reading a book and ignored her.

"You've been bitten by a vampire. From now on, you are my servant. Call me master." Zhu Juntang said to Liu Chang'an with an air of authority.

"Go play with Zhou Dongdong and Shangguan Dandan. They are the most suitable playmates for you. They are just as stupid and just as boring." Liu Chang'an took a sip of tea. Although he did not have any mysterious tea-tasting skills, the tea leaves and tea-brewing skills prepared by Zhong Qing were quite good. Moreover, since a beautiful woman was serving tea, he should be honored. Liu Chang'an always gave people face.

"I enjoy playing with you... hehe." Zhu Juntang said nonchalantly, then examined the back of his hand. "I want to draw another emblem next to it to show that this is the mark left by a fairy of noble status."

Didn't you just say you were a vampire?

"Oh, whatever I think it is."

"You are a sheep."

"Baa!" Zhu Juntang called out loudly without looking up as she drew, "Mie Mie!"

"..."

Liu Chang'an continued reading, Zhu Juntang finished drawing the emblem and went to find Shangguan Dandan and Zhou Dongdong. Around 9:30, Liu Chang'an finally took them home.

Remembering that I hadn't practiced photo editing for a while, I turned on my computer. Just as I sat down and gripped the mouse, Shangguan Dandan came over.

Liu Chang'an's computer desk was quite high, and the stool was also a high stool. Shangguan Dandan squeezed in through the gap between his arm and the desk, glanced back at Liu Chang'an, and then stared at the desktop.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Chang'an gestured with his chin, indicating that she should turn on the TV and sit under the electric radiator to watch it. It was getting late, and Zhou Dongdong was going to school and go back to sleep tomorrow, so no one would be competing with her for the most prestigious spot under the radiator.

"Why don't you install Spider Solitaire? I heard that games are all installed, just like mobile apps." Shangguan Dandan leaned back and turned to look at Liu Chang'an expectantly.

Liu Chang'an pushed her away, pressing her head down. He would never do such a thing. Once he installed the game, Shangguan Dandan felt that this "television" was something she liked, she would try to possess it.

Liu Chang'an tried out a color effect and felt that the key to photo editing is practice makes perfect. A lot of practice and real-world experience are useful. If you put it down for a while in the beginning, you will easily become rusty and even hesitate to remember the shortcut keys... However, there are quite a few shortcut operations to begin with.

Liu Chang'an logged into QQ and saw that Bai Hui was online. He had a question to ask her, so he sent her a video call.

The video chattered for a while, but Bai Hui didn't answer. Just as Liu Chang'an was about to close the window, Bai Hui sent a message: "I'm not available right now. I'll contact you in twenty minutes."

Liu Chang'an then looked at a few electronic tutorials online, but gave up on reading learning materials on the computer. He still didn't like the feeling of text being composed of glowing pixels, so he went to the bookstore to buy textbooks and books related to photo editing.

After a while, Bai Hui sent a video request.

Liu Chang'an answered the call. It was already ten o'clock, and she still hadn't removed her makeup. Her face was covered in delicate makeup, her lips were tender and moist, her long eyelashes were curled and neat, and she wore Little White Jade Rabbit earrings. Her hair was clean and smooth, as if she was about to shoot a shampoo commercial.

"Hello," Liu Chang'an greeted.

"Hello." Acquaintances don't usually greet each other like that, but he's Liu Chang'an, so Bai Hui wasn't surprised and responded casually.

"Are you going on a date? I'm not in a hurry." Liu Chang'an was always very considerate of others.

"No, I just got back from a date. Too many people have asked me out, I'll decide who to accept tomorrow. It's not urgent, I can think about it slowly in bed." Bai Hui's tone remained indifferent, her eyes constantly glancing at the book in front of her.

Bai Hui's camera was pointing downwards, so Liu Chang'an could see that the book in front of her was a copy of the Book of Songs.

Liu Chang'an couldn't help but laugh. The Book of Songs was indeed an excellent prop for women's selfies. Zhu Juntang often did this, and as a member of the fairy duo, it was also an essential skill for Bai Hui.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Hui noticed Liu Chang'an was actually laughing, and felt a surge of anger. Didn't he notice her aloof, unapproachable expression, the kind that suggested they weren't really friends?

"A smile makes you ten years younger. I've Longevity because I laugh all the time," Liu Chang'an said.

"Then keep smiling, goodbye." Bai Hui reached for the mouse, intending to turn off the video, but her hand touched the book, slowing her movement slightly, giving her about 0.5 seconds to react.

"Wait, I have a question for you." Liu Chang'an reacted in half a second and quickly said.

"Ask away." Bai Hui smoothed out the pages of the book, reading as she waited for his question.

Liu Chang'an asked a question, Bai Hui answered it.

"I think this poem is quite good, let me read it to you." Bai Hui noticed that after Liu Chang'an finished asking his question, he neither chatted with her nor mentioned turning off the camera, but instead focused on operating something according to the line of reasoning she had just explained, so she casually said this.

"Read it."

"The Final Wind is fierce and violent, yet you smile at me. Your playful laughter and merriment mask my deep sorrow. The Final Wind and hazy, yet you are so kind as to come? Neither coming nor going, my thoughts are the Final Wind is fierce and gloomy, gloom will soon follow. I lie awake, unable to sleep, wishing to speak, yet I sneeze. The gloom is heavy, the thunder rumbles. I lie awake, unable to sleep, wishing to speak, yet I yearn." Bai Hui finished reading and turned off the camera.

"A good poem," Liu Chang'an said while continuing to edit the photo, unaware that Bai Hui had already turned off the camera.

"Sigh, "Liu Chang'an sighed softly after finishing editing the photo, "Isn't this poem used incorrectly?"
