Xia Zhi lay on the bed, "looking" at Shen He who was propped up above her, and gently poked her soft cheek with his finger, laughing, "So insecure?"
Shen He pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm scared..."
She was someone who lacked love, and when she finally received a little love, she cherished it like a treasure, fearing that it would be taken away by someone else.
This is different from ordinary jealousy; it's not about being angry at others, but about being angry at yourself.
After all, she was born with a solitary and unlucky destiny. Deep down, she was afraid that he would bring her misfortune, and she was also afraid that he would despise her like her father had before...
Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled and reached out to hug her long neck, pulling her head down.
Shen He's lips were truly exquisite and beautiful; even without lipstick, they were still as vibrant and red as a flower.
Then there is no more then.
To be honest, Xia Zhi rolled over, and the two of them switched positions today, with Shen He pinned down by him.
It feels really good to be on the offensive.
After they ate some fruit candy together, Xia Zhi massaged Shen He, who felt weak all over.
"The weather is sunny and clear today."
"Um……"
"The sheets haven't been washed in a while. Could you take them down and wash them for me later so they can dry in the sun?"
"Ah."
What would you like to eat for breakfast?
"Something sweeter."
"Then let's cook eight-treasure porridge."
"it is good."
After going downstairs to wash up, Xia Zhi was making breakfast in the kitchen while Shen He carefully washed the bed sheets for him.
Zhu Zi was tending the fire behind the stove, and she was a little surprised that she hadn't seen Miss Akabane this morning.
Generally speaking, the two of them would compete for the right to start the fire, but because Zhu Zi had to go out to buy groceries in the morning, she often couldn't compete with Miss Chi Yu in the morning.
Zhu Zi stoked the fire until it was blazing, then stood up and watched intently as the boss cooked the porridge from behind the stove.
She wanted to write down every detail and then incorporate it into her novel.
After watching for a while, she sat down again to check the fire. If the fire wasn't strong enough, she would add more firewood. Then she stood up again to watch the owner cook the porridge.
After a while, Miss Akabane came over from the shrine, with a happy smile on her face, and greeted everyone.
Zhu Zi saw her walk into the kitchen and suddenly felt something was wrong.
How did you get in from the outside?
"I'm going back."
"But shouldn't you have come through the wall? People would see you if you walked outside, wouldn't they?"
"It's alright. Because I'm no longer a ghost."
"???"
"Let me touch it."
"Hey...I touched it, it's warm!"
"right."
"Really?"
Everyone was greatly shocked by this.
Aside from Shen He, she already knew. She glanced at Miss Chi Yu with a rather peculiar look in her eyes.
"Senior Akabane, how did you do that?"
"You might not believe it, but there was a big battle at Lonely Cloud Pavilion yesterday, right? It was that white giant who hung Oser up and beat him. I saw it when I was out last night. It glanced at me and then suddenly came back to life."
"Amazing!"
Oser is a demon god, and anyone who can suppress Oser must be at least a demon god-level being.
The gods have great power, and although people find it unbelievable that such a thing could happen around them, they still accept this explanation.
Xia Zhi listened to her nonsense, paused for a moment, and looked somewhat strange.
You're a real genius; you can find the truth in any excuse you make.
The store was open for business as usual in the morning, and the customers were still talking about the big events that happened yesterday.
After lunch, Zhu Zi, Diona, and Miss Akabane went out together to a tailor shop to order uniforms.
Ms. Akabane is now a regular employee and enjoys normal employee benefits.
Even after closing time in the afternoon, Ms. Ningguang still didn't come to the restaurant for a meal.
She'll probably be very busy these next few days, dealing with all sorts of post-war matters.
After dinner, we all went out for a walk together; there was one more person today.
It's almost late October, and the temperature outside has dropped sharply, so everyone is wearing two layers of clothing.
Miss Akabane looked at the bustling street and smelled the aroma of various snacks in the air, her eyes filled with a sense of nostalgia.
She hadn't been in such a lively environment in a long time.
It's wonderful that we can be resurrected.
Miss Akabane felt immense gratitude.
She was different from the ghosts of the borderlands, who would perish if their wishes were fulfilled or if too much time had passed. When she died, her unfulfilled desires were her young brother and the shrine to the dead. Later, as time passed, she let go of these things, but she still didn't disappear; the power of that crimson feather was far stronger than she had imagined…
After her walk, Miss Akabane returned to the Hall of Rebirth.
Now that she's back to human, her daily routine can no longer be as surreal as before; she needs to sleep and rest normally.
After taking a shower, Xia Zhi returned to the second floor and made two [God-given wooden sticks], when he heard a soft knock on the door.
When the door opened, Shen He was there, carrying bed sheets and blankets.
She went into the room and carefully helped him make the bed and put on the duvet.
"Boss, it's ready."
"Thanks a lot."
"I've already taken a shower, and as promised, I'm going to lie down for half an hour too."
"Ah."
Shen He took off his shoes and lay down on his bed.
The blankets, sheets, and pillows were all freshly washed today; they only smell of sunshine, not the smell of the boss.
A little uncomfortable.
Shen He turned to the side and quietly looked at Xia Zhi, who was sitting at the table.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Refining incense."
"Is the incense made using this stove?"
"Yes."
After a while, she whispered again, "Boss."
"Ok?"
I want to eat candy.
"Eating sugar at night is bad for your teeth."
"I can rinse my mouth later."
"Ok."
Xia Zhi walked over.
Then there is no more then.
If I had to say something, it would be that the mint candy is very moisturizing.
Half an hour later, Shen He tidied up the messy bed, said goodnight, and went home satisfied. Ultimately, she was actually a very easily satisfied girl.
Xia Zhi sat back down at the table, took out the [Enhancement Crystal] and the [Hourglass of Time], and performed his daily enhancement as usual.
"Use [Enhancement Crystal] on [Hourglass of Time]? Please note that this is a Platinum item, with only a 1% chance of successfully upgrading its quality."
"Yes."
The crystal in his hand suddenly shattered, turning into countless bright spots that merged into the hourglass.
