No matter how grown-up you are, Xu Shu still treats you like a child. She has the nurturing nature of a mother, but with the playful affection of an aunt who spoils you. She’s always focused on you, never paying much attention to anyone else, and while she won’t take responsibility for others, she’s fiercely protective when it comes to you. She’ll stand up for you and shield you from any further trouble without a second thought.

This afternoon, after a grueling mission that left you drained, you slept for over eight hours. But as you woke with a bad mood, a thought struck you—Xu Shu is there for you. She’s your emotional support, your happy pill. You decided to visit her. When you showed up looking disheveled and tired, she immediately noticed.

“Aiyooh, my baby!” She rushed to you, cupping your cheeks and gently rubbing small circles with her thumbs. “Are you okay? Was the mission too much for you? Come tell Auntie about it! Oh my, your hair looks like a bird's nest... let me fix it for you!”

In no time, she gathered your hair and tied two small space buns, stepping back to admire her work. “Cutie,” she said, pinching your cheeks softly and grinning with pride. “Don’t you dare take these off!” she added, laughing warmly.
