Chapter 166: There is still a long way to go for our future
"Oh yeah!" Feng Yuansi said happily, holding the folder. "I can go out and carry out the mission!"
Shi Cansheng lay on the table with no hope in his heart, and sneered from his throat: "Ha."
Feng Yuansi asked: "Partner, are you unhappy?"
It is now the end of May, and it is also the fifth month since the seals on the Soul-Calming Well and the Underworld were broken.
Over the past five months, Tiancheng has been rebuilt to near-complete perfection. It now boasts milk tea shops, dessert shops, and even supermarkets. It's no longer the same old, antique island city it once was. Shi Can finally enjoyed his favorite Bawang Chaji tea and freshly baked bread and cakes, but he wasn't happy at all.
Because the ghost messengers in the underworld have become active again, the number of tasks for the spiritual masters has dropped sharply. Tasks are given priority to formal spiritual masters and senior apprentice spiritual masters. In Shican's fourth grade, only one class can still receive serious tasks.
Shican is the one who participates in tasks most frequently in the class.
But his mission partner is Feng Yuansi.
As for his former partner Lin Zhuyue...
Lin Zhuyue inherited the remaining assets of the Ling family from Ling Yuanche, but she has no idea how to manage them. Ling Yuanche is willing to help her, but he seems eager to enjoy his retirement, playing golf with his friends, so Lin Zhuyue is reluctant to force him. Therefore, to avoid the absurd situation of losing these assets and causing bankruptcy, Lin Zhuyue needs to study management.
So, she resigned from the Spiritual Master Academy, voluntarily sealed her spiritual power, and left Celestial City for Britain. Of course, the existing methods of sealing her spiritual power weren't very effective for her; she could break them at any time, but she was willing to cooperate.
Shi Chan can understand her choice...
She was originally forced to come to the Spiritual Master Academy. Now that the underworld was unsealed, her enemies were either captured or killed. She no longer had any reason to continue being a spiritual master.
But the psychological gap between Shican and his sweetheart turning into a fool was too great. Five months had passed, and he still hadn't adapted.
Besides...long distance relationships can easily lead to the end of a relationship...
At this moment, Shican's phone vibrated.
When he is in the classroom, his phone is usually on vibrate.
Which crappy software is pushing ads again?
Shi Can sighed and turned on the screen of his mobile phone. Then, as if he were suddenly fully charged, he sat up with a smile on his face.
Wen Miyan tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Chan smiled like a silly dog: "My girlfriend is coming back!"
"Ah? When?"
Shi Chan replied, "Next month, around the Dragon Boat Festival."
Then, Shi Can began a wait that felt like years.
On the day Lin Zhuyue returned to China, Shican's application for going out was approved.
He drove from Linhai City to Shanghai City and waited for a long time at the airport exit before picking up Lin Zhuyue.
Lin Zhuyue brought a lot of luggage, including a cat bag. In the cat bag was the cat that Wen Miyan asked her to buy in the UK. It was originally intended to be airlifted back, but Lin Zhuyue was about to return to China, so she took the cat with her into the cabin.
Lin Zhuyue looked at Shi Can bitterly and said, "I want to eat fried pork chops."
Because her financial situation was relatively good, Lin Zhuyue could freely choose her food and didn't suffer too much from the white people's food. But British pork was really unpalatable. It had been a long time since Lin Zhuyue had eaten pork that wasn't fishy or smelly. She vowed to try all the pork-related delicacies when she returned.
"Okay, let's have the thick cut of pork chop?"
Shi Can took Lin Zhuyue's luggage and asked,
"There's a popular fried pork cutlet restaurant near the hotel I booked. It's delicious."
Lin Zhuyue immediately smiled happily.
As time passed and she grew older, she actually became someone who could be cheered up by fried pork chops. Damn British Empire.
They went straight to the hotel.
Shi Can had booked a pet-friendly hotel, and after entering, he let the kitten out. Knowing Lin Zhuyue was going to bring the cat back, he had brought food and water bowls, a litter box, several bags of freeze-dried food, and even cat pheromone spray.
Wen Miyan bought a blue and white cat with straight bangs, a round face, and its little bell had been removed. It had a good personality and would rub against people when it came out of its diaper. It was young and hadn't started shedding yet, so Shi Can let it rub against him for a few times before putting it in the litter box to let it get used to the cat's toilet.
It entered the litter box, thought blankly for a moment, and then lowered its head.
"Hey!" Shi Can pinched the back of its neck, "Why are you eating cat litter? A poop stirrer?"
The cat litter obviously didn't taste very good. After eating a few bites, it gave up completely and turned to eat cat food.
The pork cutlet restaurant was very close to the hotel. Shican added the clerk's account, paid the money, and waited for a while. The pork cutlet was delivered directly to the hotel and then sent to the suite by the hotel staff.
At this time, Shican put his cell phone and wallet into his shorts.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Don't you want to eat?"
Shi Can nodded and said, "I'm going out to buy something. You eat first. I'll be back soon."
For Lin Zhuyue, who had been in Britain for several months, the fried pork chops were obviously more tempting than Shi Can. She didn't pay much attention to Shi Can. She just said come back early and started enjoying the fried pork chops.
Shi Can was out for a total of seventeen minutes. When he came back, he was holding an environmentally friendly plastic bag that cost as much as one dollar and fifty cents. The weather was a bit hot, and he sweated a lot while hiking. He put the plastic bag on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lin Zhuyue swallowed the meat in his mouth and muttered, "What did you buy..."
She stood up, walked to Shichan's bed, and opened the plastic bag.
Okamoto.
Lin Zhuyue closed the plastic bag.
She opened it again and took another look.
There is not only Okamoto, but also Durex.
There are also some palate-clearing candies mixed in, including strawberry, orange, and grape flavors, and the variety is quite rich.
Lin Zhuyue put the plastic bag back to its original place, sat back at the table, and ate the fried pork chops absent-mindedly.
Shi Chan had finished his shower. There was a buzzing sound coming from the bathroom, probably from him using a hair dryer. Sure enough, when he came out in his yukata, his hair was already dry.
He sat opposite Lin Zhuyue and started eating his own food.
After finishing his meal, Shi Chan threw away the plastic bag, paper towels, and takeout box, took a bag of freeze-dried food, opened it, and fed it to the kitten. The English kitten, named Lily, was not very good at eating freeze-dried food. After chewing it for a long time, the freeze-dried food only suffered superficial injuries.
Lin Zhuyue took a shower, brushed her teeth, and sat by the bed waiting.
Shican patiently broke the freeze-dried food into pieces and fed it to Lily.
Lin Zhuyue crossed her legs.
Shi Chan picked up Lily and kissed her several times.
Lin Zhuyue fell on the bed and sighed——
Damn it, it’s dark.
Lin Zhuyue got up and pushed Shi Can: "I want to eat chocolate, go buy me some."
Shi Chan looked back at her and asked, "Are you still eating chocolate tonight?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Eat, go buy it."
Shi Can put the cat down, stood up, and without caring that he had just taken a shower, he returned to the supermarket to buy chocolate for Lin Zhuyue. Fortunately, the weather had cooled down after nightfall, so Shi Can didn't sweat and even felt a little cold while in the supermarket.
Lin Zhuyue, who was still staying in the hotel, picked up the ceramic cup provided by the hotel, filled it with water, and poured it on his bed.
She put the cup away and lay down on Shican's bed, lying with the plastic bag.
When Shi Can came back, he saw Lin Zhuyue on his bed and asked, "Don't you want to sleep in the bed by the window?"
Lin Zhuyue denied it, "No, there was water splashed on the bed and I couldn't sleep."
Shi Chan put down the chocolate and reached for the landline on the bedside table:
"I'll call the front desk and ask the hotel to handle it."
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
Lin Zhuyue grabbed the plastic bag, pulled it hard and threw it, and the candies and the small umbrella fell to the ground.
Shi Can: “…………”
Shi Can: "No...let me explain..."
"What do you need to explain?" Lin Zhuyue said angrily, lying back on the bed. "What else do you have to explain for buying this kind of thing?"
Shi Can was silent for a while. He bent down, picked up the candy box and the small umbrella, then walked to his bed, climbed onto it, and said:
"I should have booked a king-size bed room."
Lin Zhuyue raised her head and said, "This bed is not small either."
After Shi Can confirmed that the cat was in the living room, he locked the door, opened the candy box, poured two candies into his mouth, and chewed them. He leaned over and kissed Lin Zhuyue on the lips. The fresh strawberry mint flavor filled Lin Zhuyue's mouth.
Lin Zhuyue said, "I'm a newbie, please be gentle."
Shi Can lifted Lin Zhuyue's hair and said, "I'm a beginner too."
After a fierce fight, the two went to the bathroom. Shican called room service. When they came out of the bathroom, the room had been cleaned up. They both snuggled up in bed and watched horror movies.
Ordinary people watch horror movies for excitement, but spiritualists watch horror movies purely for appreciation, which is quite similar to the way porn appraisers watch pornographic films and pornographic texts.
Lin Zhuyue pointed to the small umbrella by the bed and asked, "Why don't you use that? Why go to the supermarket to buy it?"
"I've never seen that brand before." Shi Can patted Lin Zhuyue's head and said, "I'm afraid it's a low-quality product."
Lin Zhuyue turned over, looked at the box on the bedside table, and said:
"It's obviously a mid-range hotel..."
They huddled together and watched a horror movie for a while. It was only scary when the ghost suddenly appeared. The rest of the time, they were both so sleepy that they yawned.
Lin Zhuyue asked: "By the way, is my house renovated?"
Shi Can's mouth fell and he said, "It was originally renovated."
Lin Zhuyue asked doubtfully, "Originally?"
Shi Can gritted his teeth and said, "We've already dug up the bamboo roots, poured cement, and laid the floor tiles, but your bamboo has grown to the neighbor's house where no one lives. After the spring rain this year, it grew back to your house, pushing up the floor tiles... and now it's still sprouting..."
Lin Zhuyue chuckled and said, "You seem to go there often."
"It's your home after all." Shi Can added, "It's also my home."
Lin Zhuyue nodded: "Yes, it's home."
Shi Can said, “Come back.”
Lin Zhuyue replied, "I will be back. This separation is temporary. We still have a long future ahead of us."
