S City. Tang Family Base.
Tang Zhishen finally breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to the villa. This was the safest place.
"Mr. Tang, shall I draw you a bath?"
The man glanced at him. "Thank you for today. You should go back and get some rest."
Xie Shi shook his head regretfully and obediently left.
After he saw him exit, Xu Qian popped out of his pocket, grinning. "Does Xie Shi have a crush on you?"
The man laughed and chided, "Of course not. We've been brothers for years; this is just how we interact."
He gently placed the petite girl from his pocket onto the coffee table, giving her more space to move.
Xu Qian curiously approached the banana, which was larger than her. She was so small now, she'd probably be full after just a bite.
"A Shen, I want to eat a banana."
Tang Zhishen froze. Feeding her was... his favorite thing to do.
The man peeled the banana and held it to her lips.
The girl took a big bite, her mouth stuffed full of banana. After a couple of bites, her stomach was already full.
Indeed, small people had small appetites.
"A Shen, I'm full."
Only then did the man move the banana away, his lips curving into a smile.
So cute.
"A Shen, I don't want to grow back yet. I want to play for a few more days."
The man quietly agreed.
It was exactly what he wished for.
He opened his palm, and the girl hopped onto it, weighing almost nothing.
"I'm going to take a bath. Wait for me in my room."
He couldn't possibly leave this little thing to her own devices in the living room.
"Okay."
Holding her in one hand, the man pressed the automatic button next to the wheelchair.
This wheelchair was AI-powered. Once the route and destination were set, pressing the button would automatically connect to the elevator and open the room door for him to go upstairs.
Before Xu Qian arrived, he had been using a wheelchair at home too. Prolonged use of his powers was too draining, and maintaining the ability to walk consumed even more of his energy.
It was just a matter of... male pride.
Tang Zhishen and his brother, Tang Zhiyuan, both had rooms on the second floor. The entire third floor was a gym.
The wheelchair automatically turned left towards the room, and as it passed through the corridor, the door automatically opened.
This was Xu Qian's first time on the second floor and in Tang Zhishen's room.
The room's decor was similar to the living room, a minimalist style of black, white, and gray.
Upon entering, there was a small living area with a sofa, television, and tea set. To the left was a combined study and bedroom, with the study occupying most of the space. Separated by a two-meter-wide gray bed, a massive display screen was positioned directly opposite the bed.
There was a small door on the side, which Xu Qian guessed was the bathroom.
"Xu Qian, wait a moment. I'll take a shower first."
The man bent down, intending to place the girl on the bed. Xu Qian quickly stopped him. "Wait, let me take off my shoes."
He was about to say it didn't matter, that she was so small, how dirty could she get.
The girl sat down and, in a couple of movements, took off her shoes and put them away in her space.
"Put me down!"
The man smiled helplessly and could only place her on the bed.
"Be careful not to roll off the bed."
"Got it!"
The girl was having a grand time walking on the bed and couldn't be bothered to reply.
The man sighed, pressed a button on the wheelchair again, and the bathroom door opened automatically. The wheelchair turned and drove into the bathroom.
After the man entered, Xu Qian became even more unrestrained.
To avoid dirtying too much of the area, she ran and tumbled by the bedside, even doing a somersault.
This was the joy of being tiny?
With a "click," the door opened, and Xu Qian obediently sat back down by the edge of the bed.
The man, wearing a black bathrobe, sat in his wheelchair. His soft black hair fell over his forehead, his skin was fair, and he looked handsome and charming.
Well, his intimidating aura had faded considerably.
With the whirring sound of the wheelchair, the man approached the bed, his dark eyes locked onto the thumb-sized girl.
"Do you want to take a bath?"
