Chapter 031 Western Fantasy Town 22

After discussion, the pharmacists decided to let everyone present buy some seeds.

Olivia also said that in the next few days, people will be sent to buy seeds and matching insect repellents and lasso tools.

Of course, before the apples are ripe, Charles still needs to provide a portion of apples to the Pharmacists' Guild every month.

After discussion, the number was increased from one thousand per month to five thousand per month.

The rule in Charles's store is that the products are cheap but limited in purchase. If you want to buy in large quantities, the price will be calculated according to the regular price.

Because it is purchased by the Pharmacist Guild, the price is a bit higher (?), so it is calculated based on the price of ordinary materials, 5 silver coins per apple.

When they return, they will fix the value of the magic apple based on market demand.

But it should be a little more expensive than ordinary materials.

Xie Yunsui of course said that he had no intention of interfering with their pricing, and his store would always maintain low prices but with purchase limits.

Olivia was very surprised. He priced his seeds so high, and she thought he was a money-loving person. However, the prices of apples in his store were so low. Apart from apples, all the medicines in his store were cheaper than those sold outside. This did not seem like a money-loving person.

It is really puzzling that they opened a store in such a remote village with few people and yet imposed purchase restrictions.

If Xie Yunsui knew his thoughts, he would definitely get an incredible answer.

Xie Yunsui didn't intend to make things so complicated at first. He just wanted to open a small shop, stock up on vegetables, and then leave this world after ten or twenty years.

Who would have thought that the Wanjie Shop would make a mistake and give him a strange mission objective. Moreover, each world can only be bound to one store, making it impossible for Xie Yunsui to open a store in a big city.

We can only make the best of it.

In addition to Angelica, others were also interested in the potion made by Charles, and wanted to know how such a cheap potion differed from theirs.

So the group of people looted the shop and finally left in a carriage.

All the adventurers in the village came out. It should have been a scene of farewell and farewell, but these people's expressions were full of bitterness and hatred, as if the people in the carriage had robbed them of their money.

A few adventurers couldn't help but go to the store to take a look. Seeing the empty shelves, they couldn't help but shout, "My apple! My potion!"

Fortunately, Xie Yunsui replenished the medicine and apples in time, thus avoiding a bombardment of ears.

-

Theodore changed the firewood, boiled another pot of hot water, and then sat by the fire in a daze.

He scratched his hair in annoyance.

My performance just now was really terrible. Charles must be very disappointed, right?

As a shop assistant, I don’t dare to serve customers. If this gets out, I will definitely become a laughing stock in the whole town of Laize.

"Theodore?" A gentle voice sounded behind him: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Theodore turned around and said, "No, Ciel, I'm fine."

Theodore was sitting on a very low stool that Edmund had made out of scrap wood.

When he looked up at me, it seemed as if rain was about to fall in his eyes.

Xie Yunsui paused, half-knelt beside him, and said softly: "But I feel that you are in a bad mood."

Theodore could no longer pretend to be indifferent. His shoulders dropped, his head lowered, and he fiddled with the firewood in the stove.

"I'm sorry, Ciel."

"Don't apologize to me, I just want to cheer you up."

This was the first time Xie Yunsui saw Theodore like this.

I feel depressed and have no energy at all. I'm really not used to it.

Theodore was distressed: "Charles, I think I've fallen in love with you."

…

Who, like who?

It was like a thunder suddenly exploded above his head, and Xie Yunsui's mind went blank for a moment.

"I fall asleep thinking of you every night. The happiest moment of the day is when I'm walking home after delivering milk. As soon as I think about seeing you later, my pace will involuntarily speed up."

"Also, waking up every morning and picking a bouquet of flowers for Ciel is what I look forward to most."

"The book says this is called heartbeat."

Theodore continued, "I want to hide, but I can't control myself anymore."

Xie Yunsui seemed to have just realized: "...Why are you hiding it?"

Theodore: "Because Ciel and I are from two different worlds."

Xie Yunsui's warm blood seemed to flow backwards.

Was he discovered?

Am I being too obvious?

Theodore carefully glanced at Xie Yunsui's expression. Seeing that he didn't show the disgust he had imagined, he continued, "Xiaer, you know many powerful people, and you must be a very powerful person yourself. You don't belong in Ika Village. Ole said that relationships between people of unequal status cannot last long."

Theodore was already in a confused state, with no one to confide his feelings to, so he naturally chose to look for answers in books.

Xie Yunsui blinked slowly.

Wait, what is Ole?

He seemed to have heard this name before... Could it be the best-selling book in that grocery store, "The Legend of Ole", which is said to be a best-seller throughout the entire continent?

He thought for a long time before he vaguely remembered a book called "The Biography of Ole", which seemed to be a biography with more gimmicks than reality, telling the story of a down-and-out aristocratic young man traveling around the continent and having romantic affairs with many beautiful and outstanding women of good family background.

Xie Yunsui flipped through a few chapters and felt like he was reading a stallion novel, so he put the book aside.

As he expected, what Ole said was an excuse to reject those women he didn't like, right?

Xie Yunsui was quite speechless, but laughed out loud instead.

He was unexpectedly confessed to, and before he could sort out his thoughts, he almost thought that his identity as someone from another world was exposed. In the end, he told him that it was just that Theodore was too immersed in the novels he read and thought too much?

His heart rate was so up and down that people who didn't know him would think he had just ridden a roller coaster.

Xie Yunsui pinched his cheek, pulling away his melancholy, and said directly: "Neither you nor I are Ole, we are just ordinary people. There is no need to compare Ole's life."

Theodore was bewildered: "Didn't you say that we should learn more about how to behave in society from books?"

Xie Yunsui: "I was..."

Because Theodore was too keen on work, Xie Yunsui hoped that he would learn from the characters in the book and that students who worked hard should also learn to enjoy life. However, he learned the wrong thing!

He was speechless. The boomerang finally hit him.

He had no choice but to tell him: "You can't believe everything in the book. You and I are equals in character. I'm not a very powerful person. I'm just a businessman who likes to take shortcuts."

Looking at Theodore's innocent expression, which was so adorable, Xie Yunsui couldn't help but caress his golden hair.

Theodore didn't care about the messy hair, but he felt that Charles's warmth seemed to reach his cheeks through the hair.

He smelled Charles' scent, the fresh herbal scent coming from his body, and Theodore felt a little dizzy.

So I just poured out everything that had been bothering me for the past two months in a daze.

Ever since he felt like he was sick, every time he saw Charles and Angelica chatting happily, he felt depressed and uncomfortable, and then he frantically drank herbal water.

Xie Yunsui: ...No wonder I always felt that the herbs in the field were growing taller and shorter during that period.

Also, after Angelica left, Theodore's "illness" suddenly healed, and he even extended his working hours in order to talk to Charles.

He began to read books like crazy, just to have more topics to talk to Charles about.

But the more books I read, the less confident I become.

The protagonist in the book is humorous, elegant in conversation, smart and witty. He can always solve any problem and overcome all difficulties to pursue his love.

Theodore was just an ordinary villager. He didn't have that kind of experience and didn't even know whether to kneel down with his left leg or his right leg when facing an important person.

So when these pharmacists came today, Theodore became inexplicably nervous, afraid that he didn't know the rules, afraid of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, and afraid of bringing shame to Charles.

Xie Yunsui listened to every word, and his heart was always itchy, as if a very light and soft feather was brushing against his heart.

There is no cost to being moved.

His breathing became heavy, and Xie Yunsui's eyes were fixed on Theodore's lips, and he suddenly wanted to kiss him.

I want to kiss this person who expresses his love even when he is upset.

Fortunately, his remaining rationality stopped him, and Xie Yunsui took half a step back to create some distance.

They are not from the same world, they shouldn't...

"That's great, Charles. Thank you for listening to my troubles. You are such a nice person. I didn't want to bother you at first." Theodore was very grateful.

After Theodore finished speaking the words that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, it was as if he had poured out all his worries, and his heart was filled with only comfort.

A smile returned to Theodore's face as he poured the boiled water into the teapot.

"Ah, time to get off work."

Theodore checked the time and waved goodbye to Charles. "Bye, Charles. See you tomorrow."

Xie Yunsui followed his figure stiffly and moved his steps, waving his hands in a choppy manner.

Just, just left like that?

Wait, did someone just confess?

Xie Yunsui realized it later and chased after him: "Theodore!"

Theodore, who was at the gate of the Charles family's house, looked up at the sound, puzzled, and said, "Huh?"

Xie Yunsui gritted his teeth and stepped forward, reminding him emphatically, "You just said you liked me."

Theodore nodded: "Yes."

Why does the person who just confessed his love have such an indifferent expression?

Xie Yunsui was puzzled: "Don't you want to know... my thoughts?"

Theodore was nervous for a moment: "As expected, does my liking you cause you any trouble?"

Xie Yunsui's expression was subtle: "It's not really a problem."

Theodore breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, can I still like you?"

Xie Yunsui was about to say no, but after meeting Theodore's gaze, he couldn't utter a "no".

Suddenly, two little people appeared in my mind.

The rational villain said that he would leave this world sooner or later, and he should decisively cut off every relationship and not have any nostalgia.

The sentimental villain hesitated. People of different races can marry each other. After all, Theodore and I are of the same race, right?

Theodore discovered that Charles' eyes were very beautiful, with dark pupils that were somewhat mysterious yet gentle.

In the tug of war between reason and emotion, these eyes seem to be able to speak, filled with affection that can drown people.

Theodore seemed to understand.

He put one hand on Charles's shoulder through the fence, leaned in close, and kissed him on the cheek.

Xie Yunsui was stunned, his mind seemed to leap from the Somarina Trench to the summit of Mount Everest, holding his breath.

When he raised his eyes, his gaze met Theodore's.

The cheek that was touched felt hot as if on fire, and the heat spread from the head to the heart.

Xie Yunsui heard his own heart beating violently, boom, boom, boom.

Screw my sanity, all I want now is a relationship with Theodore!
