My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

She took the prescription and glanced at it, then immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

I thought a beauty like her would have beautiful handwriting, but it turns out to be standard doctor's handwriting—completely illegible.

"By the way," as she was studying the meaning of the characters above, Liu Qingluo asked again, "Has the injury to your left shoulder healed?"

She subconsciously touched her shoulder; there was no pain there anymore, and the wound had begun to scab over, so it would heal in a few days.

Liu Qingluo walked up to her in a few steps, placed her fingers on the wound, and gently pressed it. "A penetrating wound is no small matter. If possible, could you let me examine it again?"

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

For the original owner of this body, getting injured was commonplace, and it was likely that she would frequently come to Liu Qingluo for treatment. However, to her, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was still just a stranger she had just met...

Well, even though she accepted Xia Zhifei's help to heal her wounds, she still felt very strange if someone else did it for her.

Before she could even speak, Xia Zhifei started tearing off her clothes, saying as he did so, "Sister Liu, look, I've been applying medicine to A-Zhao's wound these past few days, so there's definitely nothing wrong with it!"

Hey, hey... can you please consider her opinion?

Looking helplessly at his upper body stripped down to only his underwear, Lu Zhao closed his eyes with a headache, forcing himself to ignore the two pairs of eyes scanning his body.

There will definitely be many more situations like this in the future, so she has to get used to it!

She repeatedly hypnotized herself in her mind, took a deep breath, and slowly opened her eyes, pretending to be calm as she looked at the two people in front of her, "Is everything alright?"

"The recovery is going well, but you still need to avoid spicy food and alcohol for now," Liu Qingluo said, a satisfied glint in her eyes. She placed her fingers on Lu Zhao's wound, where tender flesh was beginning to grow, and gently stroked it with her slightly rough fingertips.

Lu Zhao: Why does she always feel that this action is strange?

After touching him for a while, the other person finally put his hand down with a look of lingering satisfaction: "There's nothing seriously wrong. It's chilly, so you can put your clothes on first."

Hearing this, Lu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on his clothes. He then tidied his slightly frizzy hair and gave the other person an awkward smile: "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

"Sister Liu, thank you so much this time! I'll treat you to a meal another day!" Xia Zhifei winked at her warmly before leaving the medical room with Lu Zhao.

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed against each other, feeling the lingering warmth at her fingertips. Liu Qingluo stood still, her smile still on her face, but her glasses reflected a white light.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: One-Punch Man Xia Zhifei

"Remember, you must apply the medicine every morning and evening, no staying up late, no spicy or stimulating foods, and go to Sister Liu's for a check-up every three days..."

Lu Zhao walked silently ahead, listening listlessly to Xia Zhifei rambling on behind him.

The young lady has evolved into a mother hen.

She sighed heavily, turned around, and forced a smile: "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say. Please, Master, stop using your supernatural powers!"

Xia Zhifei was taken aback. "Fine! You dare call me bald!"

Huh? How did your brain work like that?!

Completely bewildered, Lu Zhao quickly dodged Xia Zhifei, who was trying to chase after her and hit her, and repeatedly apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong! You're not my master, you're my junior brother... ah, no! Hey, don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Finally, Lu Zhao, who had been successfully caught by the young lady, received two light punches before the matter was settled.

"Ouch... This is practically One-Punch Man." While rubbing his chest in pain, Lu Zhao followed behind Xia Zhifei and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, carefully observing the other's reaction.

Very well, there is no One-Punch Man in this world, and the young lady has no reaction at all.

Her current body is considered relatively tall for a girl, so every time she follows behind Xia Zhifei, she can observe the clearly visible part of her hair from above.

Hmm... I should probably buy some black sesame seeds another day, or I'll really go bald at this rate.

"Lu Zhao!" Xia Zhifei, still angry, didn't even use her nickname. "I'm hungry, go back and cook for me!"

She was taken aback. "Messiah is still waiting for us upstairs..."

"Then let her come down, and we'll go home and eat together!" Xia Zhifei turned around and glared at her.

Well, the young lady is really angry.

Lu Zhao didn't dare to delay and quickly made a call to Messiah.

The two waited for a while in the first-floor reception room, and then saw two figures walking towards them from afar.

The carefree figure in front is clearly the Messiah, as for the one behind...

Lu Zhao stood up abruptly, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly. "Lin Yu, what brings you here?"

Following behind Messiah was Lin Yu, but unlike the dirty work uniform Lu Zhao had seen her in before, she was now wearing clean and casual clothes, and looked much more energetic.

"Captain, I just happened to run into Old Lin, so I had her come with us." Messiah ran up to her with sparkling eyes and explained with a grin.

Lin Yu remained expressionless, except for giving Xia Zhifei a second look; otherwise, his behavior was perfectly proper. "Miss Xia, it's been a long time."

Ha, you even went so far as to bypass her when you greeted her? You don't even bother with the formalities?

Lu Zhao's eyelids twitched, then he flashed a warm smile, walked over, and put his arm around the other person's shoulder. "It's been a long time since we old classmates have seen each other, Lao Lin!"

As she spoke, she emphasized the need to apply more pressure.

“They even visited you in the hospital just a few days ago…” Messiah muttered to herself, but was glared at by Lu Zhao and shrank back.

Was that to see her?

That was to get close to her childhood sweetheart!

Now that she has inherited this body, she must respect the will left behind by the original owner. For example, since the original owner was willing to break ties with her friend Lin Yu for Xia Zhifei, it means that the original owner did not want the two of them to be together.

In addition, she did feel that it was not good for Lin Yu to have a falling out with the original owner because of their relationship; at the very least, he couldn't shake off the label of prioritizing romance over friendship.

It should be noted that the original owner of this body had just been released at that time and needed comfort and encouragement. However, Lin Yu, who was a close friend, quarreled and had a falling out with the original owner because of Xia Zhifei. If she hadn't forgotten the specifics, Lu Zhao would have thought that this person was kicking someone when they were down.

Lin Yu glanced at the hand that was resting on her shoulder, without even frowning, and easily removed it with a backhand. "Lu Zhao, I remember you have an injury."

His voice was so cold that Lu Zhao felt it didn't seem out of place to say "it's noon" in that tone.

but……

She had an urge to ask this person why they had so much free time.

Let's not even talk about her and Messiah. One was injured and on leave, and the other had only worked overtime for half a month. Messiah was also a part-time employee and would only be deployed in case of an emergency.

But Lin Yu, on a weekday, in broad daylight, brazenly prepared to go out and slack off... Isn't the Bureau of Spirits supposed to be very strict?

“Ordinary people have three days off a week, but I took a day off today.” Lin Yu seemed to have seen through her thoughts and then added.

Oh, goodbye, that's all.

Lu Zhao swallowed the words he wanted to say with a bitter expression, and looked back at Xia Zhifei with a wronged look, hoping that she could reject him.

But the young lady suddenly flashed a sweet smile, took a few steps to Lin Yu, her eyes crinkling with laughter, "Okay, then come home with us for dinner, Zhao is cooking today!"

After a moment of silent eye contact, Lin Yu awkwardly turned her head away, her ears turning red, and gave a slightly shy "hmm".

Oh no, her little sweetheart is going to be kidnapped.

A sense of sadness welled up in Lu Zhao's heart. Just as he was about to wipe away a tear, he heard the older kid next to him whisper, "Captain, Old Lin always gets really shy around Sister Fei. They look so good together."

What's there to balance? It's not like balancing chemicals!

She glared at her menacingly, but before she could say anything, the young lady turned around and asked in a cheerful mood, "Ah Zhao, where are the groceries you bought today?"

Ah this...

Lu Zhao froze, remembering the groceries he had left at the supermarket earlier that day in order to chase after that kid.

Is it too late to go back and get it now?

That's too late.

It's already 2 PM, and these people haven't had lunch yet. Once she goes back to get the groceries, she can start cooking from scratch, and then it can be served as dinner.

Sensing the awkwardness emanating from her old friend, Lin Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She reached out and pulled Xia Zhifei, who was about to get angry again, saying, "It's okay. If you don't mind, we can go eat something near my house."

"Your home?" Lu Zhao asked curiously.

To avoid attracting attention, the Lingju Authority is located in the suburbs. If you don't drive, the only mode of transportation is public transportation, and it usually takes more than an hour to get to the city center.

To address the issue of long commutes making it inconvenient to launch missions promptly, all members of their operations department installed an internal app on their phones.

It doesn't matter if someone isn't on duty. If an incident occurs, they can simply go to the mission location from home. This truly achieves 24/7 on-duty availability, which is even more tiring than the 996 work schedule.

This guy's house is actually nearby?

Chapter Forty: Her High School Years

Stepping on the gray-brown ground, I navigated the winding alleys with ease, glanced up at the low-rise buildings, and greeted an older woman who was hanging clothes on a clothesline by opening her window, "Good afternoon, Auntie!"

"Xiaolin, are you bringing guests home today?"

"Yes, they're all friends. Let them come home and have a seat."

Lin Yu turned around and glanced at the three people behind him, a rare smile appearing on his face. "We'll be there soon."

"Hmm..." Lu Zhao responded haphazardly. She really didn't expect that there would be such a lively place in this seemingly deserted suburb.

The alley wasn't deep, and the buildings along the way were only three or four stories high, with clotheslines hanging between the floors. Occasionally, you could hear a few words of dialect that were hard to understand.

The overall atmosphere made her feel like she had traveled back more than ten years.

"Aunt Li, you made new Guandong candy for your grandson again?" Lin Yu greeted the people in the surrounding shops as she walked.

"Yes!" The old woman sitting in the corner teased her grandson with a piece of candy.

Lin Yu stopped at the entrance of a stairwell, turned around to look at the three of them, and raised her eyebrows. "My home is on the second floor. It's a bit dark in the stairwell, so be careful."

Messiah picked up his phone and said, "Lighting equipment ready!"

The group followed her upstairs. Although the stairwell was a bit dark, it was surprisingly clean and tidy, without a single scrap of paper.

“This is an old house that was slated for demolition. It has a long history,” Lin Yu explained as she went upstairs. “However, a few years ago, as soon as the Bureau of Spirits was built, the land prices in this area dropped a lot, and the developers simply gave up on this place.”

No wonder there are hardly any other buildings around the Bureau of Spirits in such a city where land is so valuable.

Once the Spirit Management Bureau was built, this place became the place with the largest concentration of spirits in the entire Yongling City and even the surrounding urban areas. Presumably, the developers took into account that most people fear and dislike spirits and dare not spend their energy in this area.

"Then why don't they move away?" Xia Zhifei asked curiously.

Lin Yu stood in front of an iron gate, taking out his keys and laughing, "Where can we move to? It's not so easy for ordinary people to buy a house and move, especially when old houses can't even be sold."

A few families have moved away over the past few years, but not many overall. It's better to stay here; the neighbors are all old, and many people at the local community center don't even know about this place, so it's safe to live here.

Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment, thinking that this game world was too realistic, even simulating such a distressing reality as housing prices.
