After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 604 Extraordinary Relationship

It seems that once people start working, time flies by.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and he gradually adapted to working at Feng's Pharmacy.

Without anyone causing trouble, the three managers that Lao Qian left him could almost completely cover all the affairs of Feng's Pharmacy.

All he does is make decisions, trade intelligence in the shadows, and use his spare time to improve his cultivation.

After seeing Manager Wei off, Shen Xu looked at the brightly lit streets around him and silently closed the door of Feng's Pharmacy.

The only change he made after arriving at Feng's Pharmacy was altering the pharmacy's closing time.

He changed from closing at the same time as the surrounding shops to closing an hour earlier, because this would give him more time to rest.

After returning to his study and finishing his work for the day, Shen Xu went upstairs to the second floor.

Since Yan Zihuai arrived, Chi Xiaorou's work has become much easier.

She transformed from a melancholic, bookish young woman into a fairly lively girl, and even her dark circles have faded considerably.

Dan City is peaceful now, and headquarters hasn't issued any urgent missions, so the two of them are living a very leisurely life.

They did only two things every day: first, they would go shopping in Dancheng together, and then buy a large number of unused decorations to fill his study on the first floor and the hall on the second floor.

Secondly, go to the study on the first floor, choose a book you like, sit together and read quietly, and then share your feelings about the plot. You might even cry your eyes out because of some of the parts.

Sometimes they would invite him to watch together.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu couldn't appreciate the books they liked to read.

Logically, the two should be rivals, but Shen Xu felt that their relationship was unusually close.

Although he knew that the two were best friends who had grown up together and it was normal for them to be close, being too close could easily make him think the wrong thing.

Like now...

"Zihuai, what are you doing!" Chi Xiaorou grabbed Yan Zihuai's restless hand.

"Tell me, what else can I do?" Yan Zihuai chuckled, placing her other hand on Chi Xiaorou's chest.

Upon sensing his arrival, the two women, who had been playfully teasing each other, straightened their somewhat disheveled clothes and sat up rather awkwardly.

"You can still consider me to exist for a little while."

As soon as he entered the second floor, he saw two women arguing and fighting. This was not the first time he had seen something like this.

Although Shen Xu also enjoyed seeing such scenes, their complete lack of attempt to hide their behavior from him made him suspect that he was also part of their scheme!

Moreover, he had to handle all sorts of affairs at Feng's Pharmacy all by himself, despite his groggy head, and also had to receive all kinds of guests and deal with the difficult behavior of those senior figures.

Their leisurely lifestyle inevitably made him feel somewhat resentful.

"Xiao Rou, I remember before we came to Dan City, you asked me for all the rights of Ming Pavilion, but why am I the one doing all the work now?" Shen Xu questioned coldly.

Chi Xiaorou lowered her head and then gently retorted, "The organization has rules that the head of the Mirror cannot interfere with the work of Mingge without authorization."

"Ha ha……"

"Also, this is a shared space. You can read here, but don't be too... you can be a little more serious," Shen Xu advised Yan Zihuai.

"Brother Wu, don't you like us fooling around here?" Yan Zihuai asked with a charming smile, the purple gauze on her shoulders slipping down a bit, revealing her smooth, alabaster shoulders.

Shen Xu immediately turned his head away, "It won't have a good impact."

"Has it affected Brother Wu? Could you please specify which part of Brother Wu's body has been affected?"

"Damn it, those are outrageous words!" Shen Xu gritted his teeth.

"You have affected my eyes and ears."

The results for that pill should be available in the next few days, so try not to travel far these days.

After speaking coldly, Shen Xu went straight back to the first floor; he couldn't stay on the second floor for even a moment longer.

"Zihuai, what's this about the pills Wuhen mentioned?" Chi Xiaorou frowned slightly as she looked at Yan Zihuai's bare shoulders.

“His soul is somewhat weak, and the Yan family happens to have a medicinal pill that can cure his ailment.” Yan Zihuai lifted the purple veil back onto her shoulder.

"What a coincidence? I do remember that he did ask me about elixirs that can nourish the soul."

"I never expected such a coincidence." A meaningful smile appeared on Yan Zihuai's lips.

"I've noticed that you seem to care a lot about Wu Hen, even though you've only known each other for a few days and haven't had much interaction. Can I ask why?" Chi Xiaorou asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this question, Yan Zihuai slowly approached Chi Xiaorou, who was caught off guard by Yan Zihuai's advances and leaned back on the soft chair.

As the stunning face drew ever closer, Chi Xiaorou's face flushed crimson, her breathing quickened, and her heart pounded like a drum.

"Xiao Rou, are you jealous..." Yan Zihuai's eyes were alluring, and her breath was sweet as orchids.

Chi Xiaorou's eyes gradually became hazy, and she gently closed them.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention..." Shen Xu opened the door, then immediately closed it and left.

Chi Xiaorou immediately came to her senses, forcefully pushed Yan Zihuai away, then clutched her chest and gasped for breath, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Yan Zihuai.

……

"Holy crap! What did I just see? It must be fake!"

Shen Xu, who was in the study, had no interest in working. His mind was filled with the scene of Yan Zihuai and Chi Xiaorou on the second floor.

"What are these two competing for? I'm the third wheel!"

Do they sleep together at night? And what do they do if they sleep together?

Countless erotic images kept forming in his imagination, making his blood boil. In the end, he had to use the Crystal Lotus to restore his inner peace.

"People from big cities really know how to have fun," Shen Xu chuckled.

Just as he had composed himself and was preparing to spend the night at Tingyuxuan, a soft knock came from outside the door.

At this time, the person who comes to find him is either Chi Xiaorou or Yan Zihuai, most likely Chi Xiaorou.

However, after witnessing what happened, he simply couldn't face Chi Xiaorou with a normal mindset; he couldn't hold back!

Shen Xu rubbed his face vigorously, forcing himself to calm down.

"Please come in!"

When Chi Xiaorou pushed the door open and came in, she saw Shen Xu bent over his desk writing something, looking very busy.

"Well, things aren't as they seem," Chi Xiaorou explained, forcing herself to speak.

"You don't need to explain anything to me, I didn't see anything."

“Zihuai and I are not in the kind of relationship you are imagining. We were just joking at the time. I just didn’t expect you to come back suddenly.”

"I know!" Shen Xu said calmly.

"That's good! Was there anything you forgot to mention back then?"

"The pharmacy is short of high-grade spiritual herbs. Don't forget to ask headquarters for another batch."

"Yes, I will report it to headquarters."

"We're really not in the kind of relationship you're imagining!" Chi Xiaorou emphasized again.

"Xiaorou, what kind of relationship you have is completely irrelevant to me, and what you did is of no interest to me."

"I just hope you can focus on your work, not on these trivial matters." Shen Xu looked up at Chi Xiaorou.

"Okay, I understand." Chi Xiaorou walked out of the study with a hint of disappointment and closed the door behind her.

A moment later, Xiao Rou opened the study door again. Seeing Shen Xu still engrossed in his work, the light in Chi Xiao Rou's eyes dimmed instantly.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Xu asked coldly.

"Sorry, I'll be leaving now." Chi Xiaorou gently closed the door.

"You little brat, you're trying to fool me! You're still a few years behind."

The figure on the seat turned into mist and dissipated, and Shen Xu's figure walked out of the secret room.

……

"What did he say?" Yan Zihuai asked with a smile.

"What else can I say? That he knows?" Chi Xiaorou replied weakly, her bare feet curled up on the bed.

"It's all your fault! You had to make that kind of joke, what kind of person do you think I am in Wu Hen's eyes now?"

"I was just joking with you back then. But why did you close your eyes, Xiaorou!"

"Xiao Rou, you don't actually like me, do you?!" Yan Zihuai covered her red lips with her jade fingers, pretending to be very surprised.

"Get out!" Chi Xiaorou threw the pillow in her arms at Yan Zihuai.

"Why are you so concerned about his thoughts? The Chi Xiaorou I know is not the kind of person who would feel uneasy because of other people's opinions."

Yan Zihuai sat down next to Chi Xiaorou and put his arm around her slender waist.

"Get off me! I've told you before that it's easy for Wu Hen to misunderstand, but you still keep doing it!" Chi Xiaorou angrily pried Yan Zihuai's arm off.

“Really!

We even slept together in the dormitory at Juanyuntai! You didn't seem so resistant back then.

When we showered together, there was every part of your body I hadn't seen, but now you're trying to avoid me.

"And if Xiaorou doesn't want to, how can I succeed?" Yan Zihuai touched Chi Xiaorou's waist again and gently scratched it.

"What are you doing! I'll teach you a lesson..."

After a while, the two, disheveled, breathless, and flushed, lay face to face and couldn't help but smile.

"I never thought we'd end up living together again after all this time. It's just a pity that one of us has to leave in the end," Chi Xiaorou said sadly.

"You're overthinking it. We can think about the future later. We have a long time to live together!"

Sometimes I really regret that I'm not a boy, otherwise I could marry my Xiaorou." Yan Zihuai gently pinched Chi Xiaorou's nose.

"I should be the one marrying Zihuai!"

Chi Xiaorou flipped over and straddled Yan Zihuai, her hands climbing up Yan Zihuai's breasts as a smug smile appeared on her lips.

"Really?" Yan Zihuai reached into Chi Xiaorou's skirt.

"what--!"

Chi Xiaorou let out a soft cry, her face instantly turning rosy, and then, without showing any weakness, she began to knead her soft breasts, which she could not hold in her hands.

Sensing Chi Xiaorou's movements, Yan Zihuai's heart trembled, her legs suddenly clamped together, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
