You can come to school with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lily’s emotion returning to normal as she answered back, Xiaoyun nodded as Yongyi slid down the slides once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lianrong slid down into Xiaoyun’s arm, the sound of a door sliding quickly grabbed their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, Lily, you guys can come back now! They finished with their pump.\" Tianci yelled as she stepped out of the glass door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wah! I want to go again!\" Qiaolan complained after seeing Lily begin to walk off the slide’s staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too!\" Xuanhua demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Just one more... Xiaoyun, stop bringing them to the staircase again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let them play until they are tired. It’s good exercise for them... You guys want sister Lily to help you all go down the slides, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all four of them nodding with their face filled with excitement still, Lily sighed before going back up to the top of the slides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just have an essay to write later,\" Lily murmured as she began helping Xuanhua down the slides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An essay after your finals? What would you need that?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, a letter to write a letter... For my major, I need to get a letter of recommendation from my teachers to increase my chances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily helped Xuanhua down next, she quickly realized the person before her was the person she had been looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, actually, can you write me a letter of recommendation?\" Lily pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? What letter of commendation could I write for you? I’m just warning you, I’m not going to ask the professor outright to accept you in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I’m not asking you to write that. I just need you to write about things that I’m good at...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Things you’re good at you say...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question eluded Xiaoyun a little as his mind couldn’t really think of a positive side that would help her in a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least something academic, something that would make a professor choose her over any other students in the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you really not think of anything positive about me?\" Lily questioned, her face starting to look a little disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I can. I’m just thinking what to pick out of all the positives that would help you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Xiaoyun saying it with confidence, his mind was still scrambling for answers as he still couldn’t think of an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as all of the babies went down the slides for the third time, a sweat began to fall down his forehead as he really didn’t have anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what are you going to write? Have you decided yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still thinking about it. Ahem, I can’t show you about it. If I remember correctly, letters of recommendation are supposed to be private.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily didn’t press him any further, his mind let out a small sigh of relief as he finally came up with an answer in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was way too inappropriate. Something that she had in common with Nami. Something that is way better kept private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As noon quickly approached, Xiaoyun was back in the house as the soaring heat made it too hot to go outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was sitting in front of the TV, watching a movie that Nami had happened to buy in a DVD store out of all places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person missing was Lily, who was busy in her room writing the letter to her teachers requesting a letter of recommendation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey guys, I need a little help.\" Xiaoyun suddenly asked just as the movie started playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would you write, hypothically, if you need to write a letter of recommendation for Lily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the question was asked, everyone remained silent as if they were a little caught off guard by the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you asking that? Did Lily ask you to write one for her?\" Leyan curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... Ahem, let’s focus on the question for now. What would you all write for her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about how hard she works? I saw her waking early every morning to go to school and even take care of the babies sometimes.\" Leyan suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about that one time when she went out of her way to bring my phone to my workplace that I accidentally left behind at home?\" Yuqi suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Way too specific... Any other ideas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily had volunteered to help take care of the elderly and even carried their food when I was still working as a grocery clerk,\" Nami added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn’t really feel academic other than to show she is a good person,\" Xiaoyun murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, I think you’re misunderstanding what a letter of recommendation is. She’s asking you to write this because you are close to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s not going to be academic. That’s the teacher’s job to write how good a student she is, not you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuli’s point instantly made Xiaoyun freeze for a second, before his mind finally wrapped around what she meant by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god, I completely didn’t realize that. Thank you for pointing it out... I think I know what I need to write now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed upstairs, none of his wivies stopped him as they shifted their attention back to the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami, this movie better be good,\" Yueyue murmured, looking a little bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I spend a day’s worth of salary on this. It surely cannot be bad... Or else why would the store owner put that on his shelf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dinner arrived, Xiaoyun handed the letter of recommendation he had made over to Shuli, opting to let her handle the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you write inside it?\" Wuli curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t tell you. It’s a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun answered as he looked over to Lily, whose face looked calm. Yet, the slight flinch on her cheek told him she was just as curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuli, make sure only the professor gets to read it. I don’t want anyone else to get the chance of reading it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then... I’ll hand it to him after work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she puts the envelope into her pocket, Leyan finally puts the last dish onto the table as everyone begins eating the food at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nighttime...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what did you write in the letter?\" Yueyeu asked this time, with all of his wives looking just as curious on his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. Lily isn’t here. You can tell us, and we won’t tell a soul outside of this room. I swear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all of them really wanting to know the answer, Xiaoyun decided to back down in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine fine... I just wrote about a little story of her life. That’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Story of her life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All nine of them looked a little puzzled, unable to understand why he would write something that seemed so random.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You barely know her background and everything. How could you write something like that?\" Leyan questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wrote from when I first met her til now. That’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer gave a lot of clarity, except Nami, whose face looked more and more nervous as the more she thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Xiaoyun, you didn’t write about her relationship with you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Nami asked her question, everyone’s face looked just as nervous as hers, as if they were already expecting the worst-case scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. I’m not that stupid... I just wrote how she’s a good person. That’s all. Stop overthinking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiaoyun lying down on the bed and pulling up the blanket, they all still felt a little dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Babe, you didn’t just flat-out use your position to threaten the professor, right?\" Yuqi questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, stop overthinking it. I’m going to sleep now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him suddenly getting all defensive and covering himself fully with the blanket, all of them felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of them could think of a way—a way for him to leak out the answer without just opening the letter themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianci, say something. Xiaoyun won’t be mad at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci instantly backed down from even attempting to ask it, they all rolled their eyes before giving up asking it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Xiaoyun, don’t you think you’re sleeping too early today?\" Kate quietly questioned as she tried to pull the blanket away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go to Lily’s school in the morning. Let me sleep early today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s only ten... Xiaoyun, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pleaseeeee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing all of their voices merging in unison, Xiaoyun let out a small sigh before sitting back up in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. But only one time today, and it has to be quick today... I don’t want to sleep too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who wants to go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they looked to each other, they all eventually looked over to the person who asked it, which happened to be Leyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all don’t mind me going first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did we ever mind you going first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b0c1f44e05a5ec8881c42f2b8209fffacacd05805e68b85b5f1f7bb49171bfe","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-661","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-614",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
