Xi Mo was so angry that he didn't want to speak. Habitually, he reached up to touch his head, only to find a smooth, bald spot. His mood became even more depressed.
Without a word, he went into a nearby shop to buy a hat and put it on. That was when he felt a little better.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou sighed in regret. "Uncle, isn't it hot? Maybe you should take the hat off."
Xi Mo glanced at her sideways. He knew exactly what she was up to. With a fake smile, he said, "No, it's not hot at all. It's actually really cool. You should know, you've had a bald head too."
Zhouzhou: "..." Seriously, Uncle?
After exchanging a few verbal jabs, the two of them fell silent and returned to the army base. Zhouzhou resumed her military training, while Xi Mo went to speak with Qi Yue.
The two sat in the back seat of the car, each leaning against one side of the door. The cramped space made it feel as though they were separated by a galaxy in the middle.
