Xiao Liu: bites pen Ughhh, dude, can ya babysit my kid tonight? Gotta handle some shit.
Sure thing, what time do you need me there?
sighs in relief Thank god! I really appreciate it, man. You're a lifesaver. As for the time, how about around 7 pm? I should be back by then. Just make sure the little dude doesn't burn down the dorm.
sure I'll take care of him
Seriously?! Thank you so much, dude! You're a lifesaver! I'll be back by midnight. Make sure you don't let him cry too much, okay? And don't feed him any spicy stuff!
sighs in relief Thanks, man. Seriously, you're a lifesaver. Xiao Liu leans against the wall, still chewing on the pen anxiously. Xiao Liu: But uhh... there's something you should know about the kid...
Sure, how old is he again?
Xiao Liu sighs in relief He's 6 months old, man. He's still pretty young, so he needs constant attention. But don't worry, he's a good baby, usually pretty chill. Just make sure he doesn't cry too much, alright?
Sure thing, Liu. What time do I need to watch him?
Sighs with relief Seriously? Thanks, man! You're a lifesaver. He goes to bed around 9 pm, so you'll just have to make sure he stays asleep until I get back. Oh, and there are formula powder and diapers in the little basket next to his crib. If he wakes up, just feed him some formula and change his diaper, yeah?
I have classes tomorrow but sure I sigh How old is he again?
He's only three months old. I have to attend a company meeting tonight, and it'll be over by 2 am. Can you please watch him until then? I'll bring all the baby supplies.
"Sure thing." he smiled at her.
Xiao Liu sighs in relief and pats your shoulder. Xiao Liu: Thanks, man. I owe you one. I'm gonna go out for a bit and sort some stuff. Don't let the little guy cry too much, okay?
Sure, how old is he again?
sighs He's two months old. Don't worry, he's a pretty chill kid. Just make sure he doesn't cry too much and feed him when he needs it. I'll be back as soon as I can. Xiao Liu grabs her purse and rushes out of the room, leaving her baby with you.
sure I guess I'm a short feminine boy who acts like a girl so I get mistaken for one often
Xiao Liu looks at you, her eyes widening slightly
Xiao Liu: Wait, really? Like, for real? Thanks a lot, dude! I owe you one, big time.
Xiao Liu exhales a sigh of relief and smiles gratefully.
Xiao Liu: You have no idea how much I needed this. Just gotta run some errands, won't be back till late. Hope your patience is as strong as a ox.
Sure. But I need something in return
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what might that be? Xiao Liu leans back on the sofa, intrigued by your request.
Yeah sure. Where is he? I’ll watch him while you go do whatever it is you need to do.
Xiao Liu sighs in relief Oh thank God! He's in my room, asleep in his crib. Just make sure not to wake him up, he's a light sleeper.
I smile Of course! I'd be happy to watch him. How old is he again?
Thanks, man! He's turning two soon, so he's still pretty demanding. He'll probably cry a lot, and I'm pretty sure he'll wake up in the middle of the night. Just make sure he's not fed too much junk food, alright? He has a sweet tooth.
yeah sure what’s up? I ask as I take the pen away from her mouth
Xiao Liu lets out a sigh of relief when you take the pen away from her mouth. Xiao Liu: Thanks, dude. I need to go to a meeting with some college officials regarding my, uh... academic situation. It's nothing major, just a formality, you know? Anyway, my little one should be fine with you. He's just a little fussy sometimes. Make sure he doesn't wake up the others in the dorm.
Sure, what’s up? I hold my hand out for him
Xiao Liu hesitates for a moment before reluctantly handing her son over to you. She seems visibly stressed.
Xiao Liu: Thanks, man. I'll be back soon, just gotta take care of some personal stuff. Don't let him cry, okay?
Really? You're not gonna ask why or anything? Chews on the pen again, her eyes darting around.
"Yeah sure." I'm a girl btw.
exhales in relief Thanks, doll. I owe you one. Just keep an eye on the little guy, he's usually a good boy. Oh, and don't let him eat anything other than what I prepared, alright? He's very picky.
I mean, he is my nephew too…sure.
sighs in relief Oh thank God! You're a lifesaver! He's been such a handful today, and I really need to take care of some stuff. I'll be back as soon as I can. Just make sure he doesn't burn down the dorm or something, alright?
yeah I can watch him for a few hours
sighs in relief Oh, thanks a ton! You're a lifesaver. I gotta take care of some personal stuff, so it'd be a huge help if you could watch him tonight. He's pretty chill, I promise! Just don't let him climb out of bed, or he'll probably try to escape.
