Never mind, I'll stop watching for now.
Do your daily routine.
--
the next morning.
Xia Zhi lay on the soft bed, looking at the thick book on the table, lost in self-reflection.
"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, how could you be so decadent? Have you forgotten the study plan you made last night? You can't go on like this..."
Shen He approached from behind, his voice generous and soft.
"Boss... what are you talking to yourself about?"
"It's nothing, just my daily prayers."
"pray?"
"Hoping for Lord Rock's blessing or something..."
"..."
Shen He paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Then she also saw the book on the desk.
"Has the boss been reading lately?"
"I just suddenly became interested in something."
"Oh."
The book's title was actually written on the cover, but in an ancient script that Shen He didn't recognize; she just found the script rather mysterious.
"Then I won't bother you tonight."
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and shook his head.
"That's not necessary."
"Ok?"
"You are more important than books."
Shen He's breath hitched slightly.
Then there is no more then.
If I had to say something, it would be that the bed that Ms. Ningguang gave me is of really good quality.

In front of the mirror.
Shen He helped Xia Zhi put on a formal suit from Liyue.
He has a great figure and looks very elegant in his clothes.
Shen He stood to the side, looking at his reflection in the mirror, a hint of undisguised joy in his eyes.
"Does it look good?"
"nice."
"Shen He, you're so shallow too."
"I am just this shallow in front of you."
Shen He chuckled and reached out to carefully smooth out the fine wrinkles on his clothes.
Born with passion, yet hidden within the mundane.
This statement seems to be a reflection of the woman beside him.
The colder one's appearance, the warmer one's heart.
Or perhaps, it reflects oneself.
Xia Zhi looked at his reflection in the mirror from God's perspective.
Compared to when he first transmigrated, his physique and even his face have undergone some subtle changes.
This is due to the charm attribute.
This attribute doesn't simply and drastically affect how well others like you; it also subtly changes various imperfections in yourself.
For example, you can have a well-defined, strong and toned body without any deliberate exercise or shaping. Even if you cook in the kitchen every day, you can still have hands that are more delicate and beautiful than those of a pampered young lady...
For example, he doesn't need to do any special beauty treatments or makeup to have an unforgettable face... and that's only because he wears sunglasses to cover it up, and he usually doesn't activate the [Evil Charm] trait of [Vampire Embrace].
If this hidden effect of "doubling the charm effect on the opposite sex" is enabled, the number of female customers in the shop will probably increase several times over in the summer.
However, it is generally not turned on.
When he plays with Shen He at night, he sometimes turns on this to give Shen He some attack speed and critical hit chance.
"boss."
"Ok?"
"This outfit suits you very well."
"right."
"Miss Ningguang has excellent taste."
Shen He's words seemed to carry a certain sentimentality.
Xia Zhi turned his head, a smile on his face.
Yes, the suit he's trying on now, like the big bed in the room, was also a gift from a wealthy woman.
Made of superior materials, with solid craftsmanship and elegant design.
Most of them were personally selected by her.
"Shen He, are you jealous?"
"No."
"is it?"
Shen He chuckled softly but remained silent.
Even if the other person bought the bed, she was the first one to sleep in it.
Even if the clothes were bought by the other party, she was the one who helped the boss wear them.
In this hijacking scenario, the other party is the one who suffers, and you won't be jealous at all, okay?
"Let's go."
"Ah."
--
Many people attended today's completion ceremony.
One group of people is quite special; they are the workers who participated in the construction of the school.
At Xia Zhi's request, Ke Qing invited all of them over as well.
Perhaps because it was the first time they had received such attention, they all seemed very excited and arrived very early.
Even though they were wearing their best and cleanest clothes, they didn't dare to talk to other customers when they stood at the door. They looked a little helpless, and their weathered faces revealed a kind of inferiority and unease common among people from the lower class.
This is a kind of class divide.
In the past, this kind of barrier was very difficult to break down in Liyue.
Most workers' children will also be illiterate workers, continuing the hard work of their ancestors.
However, with the establishment of schools in Liyue, these children will have another option to change their fate.
Xia Zhi walked over and said with a smile, "Good morning, everyone. Come in and have a seat. You all know this place better than I do, so I won't say anything more. Have a good meal and drinks today. Oh, by the way, Mr. Yun's new play will be performed. Please remember to come and support him."
"Principal Xia!..."
The workers were just one of the early guests, so there was no need for formalities.
Afterwards, many other guests arrived one after another, and Xia Zhi had to greet them with the appropriate etiquette.
Actually, Xia Zhi doesn't really like these kinds of occasions.
It's much more boring to serve these customers with all sorts of ulterior motives than to serve customers who come to the store for juice.
Perhaps because he had already completed the progress bar at Qunyu Pavilion last time, he rarely saw any progress bars on the guests this time.
But there was nothing he could do; after all, he was the principal, and it was his responsibility to do this kind of thing.
What's more, another vice principal, Zhong Li, is doing the same thing. It's quite amusing to see Zhong Li greeting people with a straight face.
Charlotte seemed to have received instructions from Ningguang, and she stood beside Xia Zhi from the moment he appeared at the school gate.
Each time a guest arrived, she would take a picture with the camera.
