Not a god

Chapter 2 There's Something Wrong with My Girlfriend
Chen Xi recently felt that something was not quite right with his lovely girlfriend.

She has been shouting for a week that she is the King of the Underworld, the god of the future new era, and the monarch who controls the souls of the dead and immortal power.

“…” It’s so embarrassing, Jiang Wanwan. You are already a senior and about to graduate, not a middle school student anymore. I dare not listen to what you say.

Normally, young couples would play some harmless games or role-play when they are in the mood.

But this time he was too immersed in the role and even his lifestyle changed drastically.

I didn’t catch up with the new anime in October, and I didn’t play the new game I bought a few days ago. I won’t lie in bed in weird poses reading novels all day long.

She acts mysterious and weird every day when she wakes up. When asked what she is doing sitting there with her eyes closed, she says she is practicing and don't disturb her if there is nothing else.

Another thing is that she now resists letting him go to bed every night and always wants to force him to sleep on the sofa. She will make a fuss for half an hour before she can calm down.

Chen Xi was watching Tik Tok and getting ready to fall asleep, while she started practicing again.

He took a look and couldn't help but say, "Go to bed early, Lady Empress. Be careful of dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."

She said coldly, "Troubled times are coming, you'd better practice with me."

Chen Xi sighed, turned to look at her, and said seriously: "Wanwan, to be honest, I was also reborn from the future."

Jiang Wanwan was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

But after all, she had her own precedent, so she was skeptical.

"You really……"

"I won't hide it from you today. I have also recovered some of my memories from my past life."

Chen Xi said seriously, "So I was actually the old man Tianji in my previous life. I've noticed a dark aura swirling around your face these past few days, and your brow is dark. Last night, I observed the stars and saw that the Purple Star flickered, so I predicted that this was a bad omen for you."

After hearing this, Jiang Wanwan already knew that he was talking nonsense and had a bad feeling in her heart.

One of her feet was already out of the quilt, ready to run away at any time.

Chen Xi stroked his non-existent beard, looking thankful: "Fortunately, I am like you, reborn with memories, Ziwei Dou Shu, Yi Jing and the Five Elements are all in my mind. Come, I will help you resolve the bad omen now——"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Chen Xi was just teasing her.

I kissed her little face and it was so cute watching her twisting and struggling.

He reached out and turned off the light, then lay back down.

"Go to sleep. I have to go check and get the health permit tomorrow."

"Who allowed you to sleep in the same bed with me?"

He was getting ready to sleep when someone in the quilt started playing sumo with him again, pushing, kneading, arching and squeezing him in every possible way, and even when he was exhausted it was still useless, so she lay down with her back to him, clutching the quilt in anger.

She seemed to have forgotten that this was his room.

If you dislike him so much, just go back to your own room and sleep. Chen Xi was too lazy to complain.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that she still likes staying at home, and even more so. She hasn't gone out for a week.

Chen Xi wondered if he was too busy and neglected her, and he felt a little guilty.

The relationship between the two is quite special.

Jiang's mother was a small star and Jiang's father was also an artist. They divorced when Jiang Wanwan was very young.

As for Chen Xi, his mother died of leukemia when he was three years old, and he doesn't have many memories of her. His father is Ms. Jiang's distant cousin, who has been Ms. Jiang's assistant and bodyguard since her debut.

Therefore, if you insist, the two of them do have a little blood relationship, and the little girl has been following him like an older brother since she was very young.

I have been following this for more than 20 years.

This is probably what childhood sweethearts are like. In the blink of an eye, the New Year is almost here again.

*
September 12, sunny

Although he is a senior, Chen Xi has already completed his credits and the school does not force him to have separate internships. Apart from matters related to his graduation project and admission to graduate school, he basically does not need to go back to school.

And he was admitted to this university, so he had more free time than other candidates.

The store hasn’t opened yet, we haven’t hired any employees yet, and we still have some licenses to obtain, but the decoration has been completed.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the store no longer had the smell of decoration. The only people in the empty store were Chen Xi and a fat black man.

"Try it."

He brought out a cup of black coffee, took the Yellow Crane Tower cigarette he had placed on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it. Zhen Wen, Chen Xi's junior high and high school classmate, was admitted to Tianfu University together, and joined the student union together. He was a fat man who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 180 grams, with a strong body.

Chen Xi has had many friends since he was a child. In middle school, he and Fatty Zhen were not very close, as there were definitely classmates and friends who were better than him. However, those best friends now rarely keep in touch due to their own circumstances and futures, but Fatty Zhen can still act like a jerk around him from time to time.

This is probably fate.

"Your store is in a good location."

Fatty Zhen looked at his shop. It was about 60 square meters with a small courtyard outside. The decoration style was relatively bourgeois.

"It's right next door to Tianfu Square, how could it be bad?"

Chen Xi sat down next to him. He had been busy with food safety all day, and in the afternoon he went to the laboratory to teach a few graduates how to use the experimental equipment. Even an iron man felt tired.

"Why is there a wine cabinet?"

“Coffee by day, wine by night. Business is not good right now. It’s a waste of this location just to make coffee.”

"Then you must die from exhaustion?"

"I'm the boss, not an employee, so I'm definitely hiring."

"Hehe." When a person is fat, his eyes become small, and when he has small eyes, he looks vulgar when he smiles. He smiled vulgarly:
"You will be the boss, and I will be the superior. Then we can link up with each other and become bigger and stronger, and then..."

“And then go to jail?”

Chen Xi smokes but he is not addicted to it. He always smokes for free from his friends. He interrupted and asked, "You want to be an official so soon. How are you preparing for the civil service exam?"

This question immediately made Fatty Zhen feel like a frosted eggplant. He scooped up his black coffee and gulped it down, like bitter wine going down his throat.
"Fuck, those civil service exam questions are not for human beings to learn. Some of the questions are simply incomprehensible. They are not to screen IQ at all, but to screen those with bad luck, so as not to let those with bad luck enter the system and pollute the country's destiny."

Chen Xi shook his head with pity. At this moment, Fatty Zhen asked strangely, "Old Chen, is that person outside looking for you?"

Chen Xi looked up and saw people hurrying on the street, and no one was looking for him.

"where?"

"Just now, there was a woman lingering in front of your store for a long time. Look at the one in white clothes."

"Wanwan is here?"

Chen Xi quickly put out the cigarette, looked up, and following Zhen Wen's instructions, he only saw a white figure.

It was too far away for him to see clearly.

"She's half a head taller than Wanwan."

Chen Xi guessed and said, "Maybe he wants to see if my store is open?"

"who knows."

Zhen Wen complained to him for a while, saying that the civil service exam was difficult and that as a fresh graduate he felt confused about the future.

Chen Xi knew that it was actually completely unnecessary.

The fat guy's family works for the National Security Bureau. His father asked him to join the National Security Bureau, but he refused to go no matter what. Finally, he said he wanted to take an exam for the Tax Bureau and their father let him go.

If you fail the exam, just go back and take the exam for Guoan.

He has no idea what the future holds.

"Oh, right……"

Fatty Zhen said mysteriously, "I heard that a big shot is coming to Jiangcheng soon."

"What big shot?" Chen Xi was puzzled.

"I don't know. He's a very important person. My old man hasn't been home for a long time recently. The entire Yizhou provincial police force is very busy."

The fat man said mysteriously, "I guess it has something to do with the recent mess in Jiangcheng."

Jiangcheng has been in a state of chaos recently, with all kinds of weird news coming out every day, and they are all strange events that could be made into a TV series on "Science Approaches".

Things like the Minjiang River water ghost catching a winter swimmer, a black bird man stabbing people with a knife, or a rural mountain temple being engulfed by spider webs, all become hot searches every one or two days.

"I'm telling you, you'd better not go to unfamiliar places recently, and be careful of strangers who approach you for no apparent reason..."

Zhen Wen had some connections at home, so he knew more than Chen Xi. His expression became more serious, and he said:

"Many of the weird things that have been circulating online lately are true."
