"My little monkeys! Old Sun is back!"
Xie Mi returned with a bounty of two code phrases and immediately handed them out.
"Lingdang's code phrase is 'Beneath the wisdom tree grows wisdom fruit.' Sangzan's is 'I love you walking alone down a dark alley.' You two go find your contacts now. I just saw NPCs by the café and the gift shop."
Sangzan was full of admiration. "Miss Xie! You are very, very badass!"
"What about you, Teacher Xie?" Peng Lingdang caught on.
Xie Mi shrugged it off. "I can find another one. But we're running out of time, so go deactivate your alarms first. We'll meet at the café later!"
"No! If anyone's deactivating their alarm first, it should be Teacher Xie!"
Sangzan caught on too, looking bewildered. "Miss Xie doesn't have a code phrase yet? Then I'm not deactivating mine either."
Xie Mi looked utterly heartbroken. "Your boss for a day, your dad for life! Since you've accepted me as your dad, of course I have to keep you safe!"
Peng Lingdang hesitated. "We didn't exactly accept you as our dad..."
"If I can't even protect my teammates, am I fit to be a dad?!"
Peng Lingdang: "We really didn't..."
Sangzan: "Dad!!!"
[Pfft.]
[Deep bonds between teammates turned into deep bonds between father and children. Hahahaha, this girl really knows how to entertain.]
[You still don't understand her. You think she's doing this for the show? She genuinely wants to be their dad.]
[Qiu Chengye, you have siblings now! (Just kidding.)]
[Does anyone get it? I was hopping between streams, but this one has had me glued to it for half an hour.]
[Same! This girl is hilarious and kindhearted. She selflessly gave her code phrases to her teammates, but I really don't want her to get eliminated,
