A battered bus was driving slowly along the road, driven by an old man with white hair.
Xili was very happy. "Sister, isn't this bus nice? Grand and spacious. Whatever you want to eat, I can make it for you. Do you want a coconut latte, or a spicy hot dog, or a premium giant squid? I can make them all for you."
Bai Xi looked at Xili, who had put on a small apron and was talking to himself, and said expressionlessly, "No, thank you."
There was no doubt that the young man in front of her didn't know how to drive, which was why he had found such a bus. Although she felt that a car was just a means of transportation and its quality didn't matter, was it really okay to let such an old man drive?
Not far away, the old man with white hair was reaching up to adjust the glasses on his nose, as if confirming the road sign in front of him.
"Why don't I drive?"
As soon as she said that, the white-haired driver immediately said, "How can I let you drive? It's fine, it's fine. I'm more familiar with this road than my own home. I can drive with my eyes closed. Just sit back and relax!"
Bai Xi: "..."
Driving with his eyes closed would get him arrested by the security bureau.
Xili, wearing his apron, said, "Miss Bai, it's okay. Although Old Xi is old, his driving skills are really good and very safe. He's been driving for decades and hasn't had a single traffic violation."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at the old man in the driver's seat, but ultimately said nothing.
Driving at thirty miles per hour was indeed very safe. Forget it... they were out to have fun anyway, so there was no need to fuss.
Just then, Xili, wearing his apron, came out with a tray. "Madam, this is our island's specialty Qing Bu Liang. Eating it can beautify your skin and make it more radiant. Sir, I can tell you are an elite. Try our coconut latte, it's refreshing and will make you feel happy..."
As he spoke, he placed the drinks in front of Bai Han and Lin Yun.
Although the drinks were served in the simplest glass cups, they were made very exquisitely. Edible plants were used as decorations, shaped like a coconut tree, placed on the glass cup, with stirrers, straws, and whistles also carefully added.
Lin Yun smiled and looked at Xili. "Thank you."
Xili bowed very gentlemanly, his face full of enthusiasm. "Madam, you are too kind. It is Xili's honor to serve such a beautiful madam."
Seeing the smile on Lin Yun's face, Bai Xi completely let go of Shen Mingxun's foolish behavior.
This wasn't bad either. She wasn't a person who talked much, and neither was her brother. A family of three traveling together might just be to admire the beautiful scenery. Now, with this young man around, he could cheer up their mother.
However, she seemed to remember that there was always someone else who used to cheer up her mother... who was it?
As she was thinking, Xili placed a sliced coconut in front of Bai Xi. The thick shell of the coconut had been removed, revealing the white coconut flesh, like a hard-boiled egg wrapped in its shell. It looked very fresh and delicious, with a straw inserted into it.
"Miss Bai, if you don't like the artificially blended drinks, you can have a natural one."
Bai Xi looked at the coconut in front of her and said calmly, "Is the driver your father?"
This question caused a flicker of embarrassment in Xili's eyes, but after a moment, he frankly admitted, "Yes. My father has always worked as a driver picking up people from the airport to the city. Miss Bai, do you think the car is not good? It's okay, we won't need this car once we get to the city. It's just for now..."
In fact, Commander Shen had chartered a large car to take him and his brothers to the airport.
But when the brothers left, they took that big car with them.
He had originally planned to rent a good car, but... he was new and only got a few orders. The money he received was not much, so if he rented a good car, his actual commission would be much less.
He had intended to work for money, but before he could even sell a bottle of wine, he ran into this job...
As long as he saved this car fare, Commander Shen had already made arrangements for the hotel and other things after they arrived in the city. All they needed to do was to give his name, and he wouldn't have to pay extra. He only needed to accompany them throughout the trip, guiding them and taking them around.
He could also earn a small profit. He... really needed money, so he would save wherever he could.
However, if he made the "sugar mama" in front of him unhappy now, he would lose this money...
Thinking of this, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
Bai Xi noticed Xili's embarrassment and said calmly, "No, I really like this car. My mother seems to like it too."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's eyes were full of tenderness. "Yes, it's indeed very nice."
This sunny young man reminded her of Han Mo.
If everything had gone well, Xi'er and Mo'er should be on their honeymoon now.
Thinking of this, she felt endless sadness again. To prevent Xi'er from seeing it, she slowly lowered her head, pretending to scoop out the red beans in the Qing Bu Liang with a spoon.
When Xili heard Bai Xi and Lin Yun's words, his worries finally disappeared. "As long as you two like it."
After that, he smiled brightly again, revealing a clean white canine tooth, which was particularly noticeable against his tanned skin. Seeing that Bai Xi and the others were happy, Xili prepared some more food for them.
Hot dogs, crepes, pineapple fried rice... The small bus seemed remarkably magical and useful, producing so many things.
Xili was also very good at talking, constantly cheering up Lin Yun and telling her some legends and stories about the island.
In the blink of an eye, they were almost at the city.
Xili glanced at the city gate not far away and immediately started packing up. He said, "Miss Bai, Mrs. Lin, Young Master Bai, in another twenty minutes, we'll be there. Afterwards, I'll take you to the hotel to check in first. When you're ready, we can go see the night view of the beach. The evening breeze is pleasant, the sky is high and clear, and the lights are dazzling. You will definitely like it..."
Bai Xi nodded. "How much for all this food and drinks?"
It was clear that the young man in front of her had completely entered the role of a tour guide. He was ingenious, hardworking, and enthusiastic, and he could even cheer up her "Empress Dowager." She had completely taken a liking to him.
She was never stingy with paying people who were valuable, let alone...
When Bai Xi said this, Xili was stunned and quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no, Commander Shen has already paid me. I can't take your money."
Although that amount of money was nothing compared to what other famous brothers might earn, it was on a completely different level compared to the travel expenses he and his father used to earn by picking up people here to the city.
Even if they worked here for two months, selling drinks and snacks, they wouldn't earn this much.
Bai Xi said calmly, "I won't judge what he paid you for. But, remember, from now on, you are just our tour guide. We will give you corresponding remuneration for all your services on this trip."
