Hearing Shi Xi say this, the fennec fox curled up into a ball and didn't dare to reply.
This little world was really a rip-off!
This time, the split soul actually tried to exploit a bug to leave Shi Xi in the small world.
Shi Xi stepped out of the mission pod, stretched her wrists slightly, stood in front of the mirror, and said, "Never mind."
None of that matters, as long as the task is completed.
The lotus flower on his body was already half-bloomed, but Shi Xi only glanced at it and then ignored it.
When Shi Xi came out, it seemed that no one in the Quick Transmigration Bureau paid any attention to him.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow, walked straight to Li Yanci's office, and opened the door.
"Brother Li, I've completed my mission."
Shi Xi sat opposite him and asked bluntly, "Have you clarified the rumors circulating in the bureau?"
The man sat quietly in his chair, slowly shutting down his computer, then looked up at Shi Xi and said, "Yes."
Li Yanci poured a glass of orange juice, placed it in front of Shi Xi, and then said, "I don't want you to distance yourself from me because of this."
Shi Xi took a sip of orange juice, then shook her head without hesitation, "No."
\"Um?\"
Li Yanci's eyes brightened slightly as she slowly leaned closer to him, asking with a hint of anticipation:
\"real?\"
\"certainly!\"
Shi Xi nodded seriously without hesitation.
"How could I possibly distance myself from you?" Shi Xi put the cup on the table and poured herself another glass of orange juice.
Because of his action, the distance between the two of them was unintentionally shortened a lot, and Li Yanci could even smell the light lemon scent on him.
It has the same fresh scent as his shower gel.
Just as he was slightly stunned, Shi Xi's matter-of-fact voice rang in his ears:
"After all, we live under the same roof."
As he finished speaking, Li Yanci leaned back in his chair, his tone slightly disappointed, and said, "That's true."
"Oh, right," Shi Xi recalled for a moment, then added, "I also ran into a colleague from the villain department this time, named Li Ci."
"He must be a newcomer."
He thought to himself.
Li Ci's name differs from Li Yanci's by only one character; perhaps they know each other.
"A newcomer." Upon hearing this, Li Yanci seemed to become interested. He looked at Shi Xi, a hint of nervousness barely perceptible in his expression.
How did you know she was a newcomer?
"Are you very familiar with the villain department?"
"Not familiar with her." Shi Xi shook her head. "Just guessing."
"I haven't heard of it either." Li Yanci lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "They must have just arrived not long ago."
Shi Xi had only asked casually, and didn't take it to heart when he said that.
...
Perhaps feeling that the rumors had been cleared up, Shi Xi swaggered away from the Quick Transmigration Bureau with Li Yanci.
Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into Xi Yunqing, the director of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. "Minister Li... Minister Li."
"Going home with my roommate after get off work?"
Li Yanci, who was discussing with Shi Xi what to eat for dinner, looked up as if she had just noticed him, and said, "Hmm."
Shi Xi greeted him politely, "Hello, Director."
"Hello." Xi Yunqing's gaze lingered on Shi Xi for a few seconds before she said with a smile.
The group didn't speak loudly, and since it was after get off work hours, no one should have noticed what they were doing.
However, Shi Xi noticed that many people were secretly observing.
Li Yanci's origins are unknown. He was appointed as the head of the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Department of the Quick Transmigration Bureau right away. Although it is unclear what his background is, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Even the director treats him with great courtesy, which makes everyone even more curious.
Xi Yunqing and Li Yanci exchanged a few more pleasantries, seemingly making small talk, but seeing the other party's growing impatience, Xi Yunqing said, "Then let's stop here."
"Let's go, Xiaoxi."
Li Yanci nodded slightly and left with Shi Xi.
...
The two got into the car, Shi Xi fastened her seatbelt, and then looked at Li Yanci, "You seem pretty capable?"
He remembered that Cen Jing had told him that he had seen Xi Yunqing kneeling in front of Li Yanci. Just now, Xi Yunqing's attitude towards him was indeed cautious, and even somewhat respectful.
"It's alright," Li Yanci said casually, "It's just that I'm of a higher generation."
Shi Xi asked curiously, "How big is it?"
Looking at Shi Xi's expression, Li Yanci said, "Xi Yunqing and I are uncle and niece."
Shi Xi was stunned for two seconds, not expecting to have stumbled upon such a huge piece of gossip.
Then Xi Yunqing's actions are not surprising.
...
After finishing her meal, Shi Xi was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
He saw Li Yanci walk up to him, naturally stretching out her hands as if she was about to hug him.
"Xiao Xi."
"?" Shi Xi.
Seeing the surprise in Shi Xi's eyes, Li Yanci paused, then took the cushion next to Shi Xi and sat down beside him.
"Are you going out to play during the holiday?" Si Beiling asked casually.
"Where do you want to go?" Shi Xi looked up from the TV and at Li Yanci.
"Want to go hiking?" Li Yanci asked. "I've heard Puming Mountain has beautiful scenery."
"Want to go hiking together?" He looked at Shi Xi calmly.
"...?" This place sounds familiar.
Shi Xi was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Okay."
...
After resting for a night, Shi Xi changed into sportswear and drove with Li Yanci to Puming Mountain.
Pumingshan is in a neighboring city, more than an hour's drive away.
When they arrived at their destination, Shi Xi squinted and looked up at the mountain peak that had disappeared into the rolling sea of clouds.
"Would you like to rest for a while?" After parking the car, Li Yanci walked to Shi Xi's side and asked gently.
"No need." Shi Xi shook her head. "Let's set off now."
It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many people hiking.
Puming Mountain has a high vegetation coverage and a large number of wild animals. Occasionally, wild monkeys can be seen staying in the trees or on the railings.
Reaching the viewing platform halfway up the mountain, Li Yanci seemed to feel a bit hot, so she took off her coat and draped it over her arm.
Shi Xi glanced at Li Yanci and found that he looked perfectly normal, not even out of breath, as if he were completely at ease.
Just then, two monkeys suddenly ran up to Shi Xi, raising their hands to beg for food.
Shi Xi subconsciously reached out his hand to the side, then suddenly remembered that this wasn't a small world, and no one would hand him anything without his knowledge. He was about to pull his hand back—
But I felt something soft in my palm.
Shi Xi looked up in surprise and met Li Yanci's smiling eyes.
"Feed them," he said.
"Thank you, Brother Li," Shi Xi said, then gave the two small bread rolls in her hand to the two monkeys.
Shi Xi leaned against the railing, looking down at the scenery below, and said casually, "I didn't expect you to carry around bread rolls with you, Brother Li."
Li Yanci slowly walked to Shi Xi's side. A wind was blowing halfway up the mountain. At this moment, Shi Xi lowered her eyes and had no expression on her face, looking very indifferent.
Li Yanci's gaze fell on the beauty mark at the corner of his eye. "For replenishing energy."
