In the year 1842 of the Star Calendar, Zhong Xi was conscripted into the Capital Research Institute and swiftly rose to become leader of the Pollution Zone Management and Response Team.
During his tenure, Zhong Xi introduced an entirely new body of knowledge to address pollution zone issues. His steady temperament and outstanding expertise won the unanimous praise of his colleagues. Add in his cool, elegant looks, and people joked that just looking at his face made those long seminars a little more bearable.
Zhong Xi was quite satisfied with his life, except for one annoying fellow...
Team Member A: Captain Zhong, that guy's here again.
Team Member B: Yeah, and he's brought a bunch of stuff, too.
Team Member C: Chief, are you going to see him?
"How many times have I told you? Project materials have to go through the proper procedures before they can be handed over to me..."
Before Zhong Xi could finish, Feng Chen said indignantly, "I came to see you as soon as I got back, and this is how you treat me!?" With his incredulous tone and dazzling blond hair, he looked to Zhong Xi like a gigantic golden retriever who refused to be kept in check.
"You should change your name. It doesn't suit you."
"Hmph. Zhong Xiaoxi, you said that to me years ago, and I still remember it."
Indeed. Thinking back to those days, Zhong Xi silently grumbled to himself: Just how miserable must I have been to fall off a cliff while gathering herbs, transmigrate to this strange era, and then run into this lawless troublemaker, only to still be tangled up with him now...
"Don't zone out. I only have five days off after this mission. Shouldn't you spend some time with me?"
While Zhong Xi stood lost in thought, Feng Chen grabbed his arm, pulled him into his arms, picked him up, and ran.
Zhong Xi: Put me down! I haven't even finished the *#¥%# project materi
