"Hey everyone, happy Lantern Festival! The first full moon night after New Year!"

  After dinner, I'm going to watch the fireworks display with my parents. What's a fireworks display? Our family is absolutely not showing off, not showing off, not showing off!!! (≧▽≦)/~ La la la!

  *********************

  December's sky has already turned cold, but the weather in S city is still quite good. The snow hasn't come so early, and the warm sunlight in the afternoon makes people feel drowsy. In the garden in front of the inpatient department of the First Hospital of the city, there are many patients who have come out to get some fresh air with their family members, relaxing their mood.

  Xiao Jingchen sat in a wheelchair, her legs covered with a blanket, wearing thick cotton clothes, and a fluffy collar set off her pale face, looking like a delicate crystal doll. Bai Xijing sat on the long bench opposite her, holding a storybook and reading softly, his low voice warm and gentle, with a hint of hoarseness, it was simply an auditory pleasure.

  A handsome father, a lovely daughter, under the warm sunshine, form a warm and beautiful picture. Passersby can't help but take a second look, yet no one dares to disturb this peaceful and harmonious scene.

  Suddenly, a faint commotion broke out on the other side of the outpatient building. Before it could spread, it was suppressed. A distant, stifled beast roar echoed through the air. People resting in the garden couldn't help but stand up and gaze into the distance. They saw a white-spotted large tiger slowly walking towards this direction.

  The sudden appearance of the fierce tiger naturally caused a commotion. Children were tightly held in their parents' arms, patients were hastily taken back to the hospital building by medical staff, and some people wanted to call the police but were politely stopped by hospital staff. The garden was soon empty except for the eye-catching father-daughter pair, while the windowsills of the hospital rooms were crowded with people who, on the one hand, were filled with fear of the tiger, and on the other hand, couldn't suppress their natural curiosity. Some even took out their phones to take pictures and videos to upload, but as soon as they opened the camera function, they were politely asked to leave by bodyguards hiding in the shadows. They didn't get beaten or arrested, but their memory cards were gone for good.

  You like to watch lively scenes and chat about gossip, no problem, but everything that happens in the hospital can only stay within the hospital, absolutely cannot let anyone outside the hospital know. This is Bai Xijing's bottom line, don't say he's overbearing, tyrannical, and unreasonable, in S city, he is reason itself.

  In S city, officials will not be subject to the control and harassment of the superior government. Businessmen doing business in S city do not need to pay various unreasonable taxes. Residents living in S city do not have to worry about being exploited, oppressed and dragged down by all kinds of "price increases". Why?

  Everything here is decided by Bai Xijing, even if national policies are issued here, they must be approved by Bai Xijing before they can be implemented.

  Fortunately, Bai Xijing is a tolerant person!!!!!

  Although he would throw people who annoyed him into the sea to feed sharks because of his own preferences, most of the time he was calm. He never abused his power or was stingy with subordinates' benefits, whether you were a high-ranking official, a wealthy merchant, or an ordinary citizen. You wouldn't get less than what you deserved, and if you didn't deserve it, don't even think about reaching out for it.

  So, the people living in S City are happy because this is their home where they can live and work happily. The officials working in S City are also happy because as long as you don't do anything bad that goes against your conscience, once your term is up, a letter of evaluation from Bai Xijing will be enough to get you a good promotion. The businessmen who develop and build in S City are also happy because with Bai Xijing as the "guardian deity", there basically won't be any unprofitable businesses here.

  Of course, while enjoying the preferential treatment that other provinces and cities do not have, one naturally has to take on more responsibilities. For example, occasionally accommodating the mood of the big boss Bai Xi Jing, adapting to the "low-key" style of the big boss, and when watching gossip or excitement, not spreading it outside. Please calmly view the big boss's daughter's strange hobby of raising fierce beasts.

  The white tiger with black spots seemed to know the way, and after circling twice at the garden gate, it walked straight towards the father and daughter who were telling stories.

  Those who were lying in the window watching the commotion couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and those who knew each other or not were discussing something in hushed tones. The entire ward was surrounded by the raging gossip soul, even some patients with fractures wearing plaster casts and steel plates couldn't resist the temptation to jump up and rush towards the entrance, squeezing into the crowd and craning their necks to look around.

  The gossip-loving crowd didn't understand her, she was completely absorbed in her father's voice, until the sound of light and familiar paws came from behind her, she trembled with disbelief, turned her head, saw the huge figure walking towards her from the stone path, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed "Cai Bao~~~"

  The voice was very soft, but Cai Bao heard it. It moved its round cat ears, opened its mouth and let out a low growl. The sound was suppressed, as if filled with deep sadness and accusation. Xiao Jingchen leaned on the armrest, opening his arms, "Cai Bao~~"

  The cat turned its head to one side, lazily blinking its eyes, but its paws didn't stop moving as it walked up to Xiao Jingchen. Xiao Jingchen hugged the cat's fluffy head, closed his eyes in happiness and rubbed against it repeatedly. "Meng Bao, I miss you so much~~~"

  "Who cares? Think whatever you want. You don't even come visit me, hypocrite! Screw off!"

  She couldn't hear the inner turmoil of the vegetable bundle, which was like a nagging wife. She just held onto it and didn't want to let go, but as time went on, she started to feel a bit overwhelmed. Her eyebrows furrowed in discomfort. Bai Xijing closed his book and said, "Since it's here, it won't leave. There will be plenty of time to hold it later."

  "Hmm." Xiaojing reluctantly let go of the vegetable bun, took a slight breath, and then stroked the smooth and clean fur of the vegetable bun with her small paws. She puckered up her mouth and smiled, revealing two shallow dimples... She had lost a lot of weight, even her dimples were not as prominent or deep as before.

  It was as if Xiao Jing's smile was too pure and cute, even the white tiger didn't seem so scary anymore. The onlookers were moved by the harmonious scene between humans and nature when suddenly, the family members of the patients at the window on the far side felt water droplets falling on their heads, pattering down like rain. They looked up in confusion, only to discover a black shadow slowly crawling down from the water pipe on the outer corner of the building. As they took a closer look, several female family members let out a shrill scream, "Ahhhhh! There's a snake!!!"

  The earth-shattering, ghostly cry of the chaotic voice frightened the people at other windows, and as they looked in the direction that those people were tremblingly pointing with their fingers, they indeed saw a sturdy python wrapped around the water pipe moving downwards, the water pipes that had been strangled by it collectively deformed, hissing and spouting water outwards.

  Upon hearing the scream, the python inexplicably stopped and slowly turned its head to look over, its forked tongue darting in and out in a rhythmic motion as if waving hello. The person nearest the window fainted on the spot.

  The eggplant blinked its eyes, glanced disdainfully at the timid coward who had fainted, and continued to slide slowly down the water pipe. After landing safely, its speed suddenly accelerated, "Whoosh~whoosh~" two times it crossed the lawn and pounced on the flower bed, its tail swung forcefully on the ground, and the giant python sprang up like a spring, directly rushing towards that white tiger with spots.

  The white tiger dodged and weaved but was still hit, sent tumbling to the ground. Before it could even get back on its feet, its body was already wrapped in the python's coils. A chorus of screams erupted from the crowd, but despite a few people fainting, most of the onlookers seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the thrilling and terrifying spectacle.

  "Roar!" The White Tiger let out a loud roar, lowered its head and bit down on the snake's body that was wrapped around its neck, using all its strength to pull it outward.

  The eggplant didn't exert itself to strangle the dishcloth, and the dishcloth couldn't possibly bite the eggplant to death either... although it really wanted to do so. The two of them were entwined in a fake yet real struggle, fighting with such ferocity that the winds howled and the clouds changed color, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere. The onlookers watched from a distance, thinking they were witnessing a fierce tiger battling a venomous snake, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

  Xiao Jingchen sat in her wheelchair, giggling happily as she tugged on Bai Xijing's sleeve. "Daddy, the vegetable package's strength has increased again! It used to not be able to open the eggplant before, and the eggplant skin is thicker now too. In the past, it often got bitten by the vegetable package~!"

  Bai Xi Jing: "......" That is, can a thin skin block Tang En's hidden weapons?!

  This fierce battle between the tiger and the python ended with a handshake... or rather, a paw-shake... a tail-shake, in reconciliation! —— Forced by Bai Xijing!

  The two of them were too fierce in their sparring, stirring up dust and dirt that had a great impact on his sister's health. So, Cai Bao and Qie Zi remembered the lesson they learned from their own blood and flesh: apart from Xiao Jingyan, there was another person who could pin both of them to the ground with bare hands, rendering them immobile.

  In the eyes of Cai Bao and Qie Zi, Bai Xi Jing's danger level was instantly raised to the same height as Xiao Jing Chen, and even, there was a tendency to exceed it——the neck twisted by stupid dad is more painful than being grabbed by a silly doll~!

  Until this moment, the guy who delivered the meal box to the hospital slowly walked over. Xiao Jingchen squinted his eyes against the sunlight, "Uncle Tie Jun~!"

  Tie Jun nodded slightly and greeted Bai Xijing, then smiled and said, "In the days you weren't here, Cai Bao got lovesick, and even food didn't taste good. No choice, Old Master had me send it over to keep you company. Hehe, seeing you, its spirit has indeed improved a lot."

  "Roar——" You're all harming Xiang Si, your whole family is harming Xiang Si, every single one of you is harming Xiang Si, your entire clan is harming Xiang Si!

  Xiao Jing dust touched the round and plump head of Cai Baoyuan, pursed her lips and smiled out two small dimples, "Thank you, Uncle!"

  "No need, I still have something to do and will leave first, see you in two days."

  "Uh, see you later, uncle."

  "Goodbye." After bidding farewell to Xiao Jingchen, Tie Jun lowered his eyes and stared at Cai Bao, "I'm leaving, aren't you going to see me off?"

  "Roar——" The cabbit slowly turned around, got down on all fours, and faced Iron Army with its big fat butt, its fluffy long tail wagging back and forth.

  Iron Army: “……”
