My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

The meal lasted for more than two hours. When it was time to pay the bill, Lu Zhao looked at the mirror on the front desk and realized that his lips were almost swollen from the spiciness.

Messiah's appearance was actually quite similar to hers, with two large red sausages hanging on her face. However, Miss Song Lingge and Miss Xia Zhifei looked as if nothing had happened.

Xia Zhifei had only ever used clear broth, but as for Song Lingge… she didn’t know that this person could actually eat so much spicy food, which was completely different from her appearance.

Indeed, who would have thought that someone as imposing as the original owner of this body couldn't handle chili peppers?

"Alright, tomorrow's a day off, let's have a good rest!" Lu Zhao gave the last instruction of the day.

"Yes!"

Chapter Ninety-Six Sleeping with the Young Lady

She sent each person home. Messiah lived in a shared apartment, which didn't surprise Lu Zhao. After all, when she first transmigrated, Messiah had clung to her leg and cried about not being able to afford the down payment.

However, she was still slightly surprised when she saw Song Lingge walk into that upscale bachelor apartment in the city center.

In my memory, Song Lingge was also a lady from a respectable family, whose background was no worse than Xia Zhifei's, but she only lived here and did not live with her parents.

But perhaps their family feels that their child should move out once they start working.

She didn't dwell on it much and took a car home with Xia Zhifei.

Eating hot pot is indeed very enjoyable, but aside from the possibility of stomach upset afterward, being covered in the smell of hot pot is a given.

Fortunately, Xia Zhifei's villa was big enough that the two of them each had their own bathroom and didn't have to wait in line.

"Ah, that feels so good!" Immersed in the warm water, Lu Zhao let out a satisfied sigh as he soaked in the bathtub.

In that other world, she couldn't enjoy things like bathtubs. The ones in hotels were too dirty, but the toilets at home were too small to fit a bathtub.

She played with the bubbles in front of her with great curiosity, and only got up reluctantly when the clock showed that it was almost dawn of the next day.

"Xiao Fei?" When she arrived at Xia Zhifei's room and saw the words "Xiao Fei's Room" written in cute font, she couldn't help but laugh.

There was no sound inside.

Are you asleep?

She thought about it for a moment, then decided not to bother her any longer. She turned around and went into her room, rolled around on the soft bed for a while, and let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Just as I was getting ready to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Zhao immediately stood up. "Xiao Fei? Is something the matter?"

"Ah Zhao, let's sleep together tonight!" Xia Zhifei's voice from outside the door sounded particularly cheerful.

Ah this...

She hesitated for a moment, but several images of the two of them sleeping together flashed through her memory.

If it were the original owner of this body, she wouldn't refuse Xia Zhifei's request, right?

After a long silence, she finally slipped on her slippers and went to the door to open it. Seeing the young lady standing there, she tentatively asked, "Why did you decide to sleep together tonight?"

"I'm so happy!" Xia Zhifei tilted her head, looking puzzled by her question, and squeezed in with her pillow and blanket as she spoke, "We used to sleep together all the time!"

But that was the original body, not her.

Lu Zhao remained silent. In that other world, she was a typical only child. Although her family wasn't very wealthy, they still owned a small house. She lived alone in the smallest bedroom. Not only did she not sleep with anyone, but even her parents rarely entered her room out of respect for her privacy.

Watching the young lady skillfully spread out the blankets and pillows, she could only sigh silently in her heart, close the door, and walk to the other side of the bed to lie down.

"Young Miss, what do you want from me this time? Tell me." She rested her head on the headboard, watching Xia Zhifei crawl into bed like a kitten, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Xia Zhifei then peeked out from under the covers, his doe-like eyes cautiously looking at her, "A-Zhao?"

She responded and then turned to tuck the blanket around the young lady.

"Ah Zhao, I'll continue working at the Spirit Management Bureau as usual," Xia Zhifei said softly, observing her expression.

Lu Zhao paused, looking at her with some surprise: "Why?"

"Because you seem to have been working very hard lately." Xia Zhifei reached out, her fair and delicate fingers gently grasping her sleeve, her eyes blinking, looking incredibly cute.

But Lu Zhao was not swayed by her beauty at all. He grabbed her hand and put her into the warm quilt, saying, "I won't be busy for long."

Soon, the spirit guide recommended by the female lead and Li Manqiu will arrive. Once there are more people, she won't have to think about KPIs every day.

Xia Zhifei frowned, then gently pulled her wrist again and coaxed her in a soft voice, "No, I'm so bored at home all day. Why don't I go to work with you and earn more money?"

Does she lack that little bit of salary?

The thought of the meal he spent today made Lu Zhao's stomach ache again.

Okay, she's really lacking.

"Didn't you sign up for a yoga class?" She lowered her eyes slightly, still rejecting the young lady's suggestion. "If you're too free, you can sign up for a few more classes."

"No!" Xia Zhifei sat up abruptly from the covers, clenching her little fists with righteous indignation. "I can cancel the yoga classes, but I want to go to work with you!"

These past few days, she's noticed that Lu Zhao isn't in a good mood. He even said it's because the KPIs for the mission are a bit high. Since that's the case, and she's free anyway, she might as well go back to work at the Spirit Management Bureau.

This……

To be honest, Lu Zhao hesitated a bit.

Because at the beginning of the game, Xia Zhifei should still be at home and not coming to work at the Bureau of Spirits.

Does this request change the course of the game?

"Ah Zhao! Let me go!" Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the young lady quickly hugged Te's arm and kept acting coquettishly, "I promise I won't get hurt, I'll stay by your side at all times, and I won't run around!"

Lu Zhao blinked, feeling that the latter guarantee was more appealing.

As long as the nine romanceable female supporting characters don't go astray before the main story begins, and the heroine can safely encounter them and start the branching storylines, that's all that matters.

If Xia Zhifei were to spend all her time at the Bureau of Spiritual Affairs, it would be more convenient for her to develop a relationship with the game's female protagonist in the future.

Moreover, even though she left her at home this time, she still got involved in the incident because she went out. It's safer for me to keep an eye on her at all times.

"It's settled then. In any dangerous situation, you're not allowed to go alone, understand?" Lu Zhao's protective mother hen instincts kicked in again, and she gave him a few more words of advice out of concern.

Xia Zhifei immediately beamed with joy, "Okay! I definitely won't do anything reckless!"

She's so eager to become a corporate slave; no wonder she's a supporting female character, she's got the self-awareness of a working person.

Looking at the man's smiling face, Lu Zhao shook his head helplessly, turned off the bedside lamp, and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

She heard the rustling sound of fabric beside her, and assumed that the young lady had obediently crawled into bed, so she lay down as well. But to her surprise, as soon as she adjusted her position, a warm body snuggled into her arms.

“You…” Lu Zhao’s body stiffened instantly.

Xia Zhifei didn't disturb her sleep at all, and even rubbed against her shoulder comfortably for a while, murmuring with a smile, "Ah Zhao's hair smells so good."

I just washed my hair, no wonder it smells so good.

Lu Zhao sighed and finally placed his stiff hand on the shoulder of the person in his arms: "Sleep."

Goodnight, Azhao!

Goodnight, Xiao Fei.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rank A Mission

As expected, I didn't sleep well.

Lu Zhao sat at the dining table and yawned sleepily.

The young lady across from me was drinking her soy milk with great enthusiasm. "Ah Zhao, didn't you sleep well last night?"

She responded listlessly, then, remembering it was the weekend, added, "I'll take a nap later."

She had never slept in the same bed with anyone other than her mother. In addition, Xia Zhifei was extremely restless when she slept. Even though she had brought her own blanket, she insisted on taking it from her.

Recalling the scene of fighting for the blanket with someone last night, Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel sad. He sighed again and lowered his head to drink the soy milk in one gulp.

"I'm full, I'm going to take a nap."

As he spoke, he grabbed his messy hair and walked heavily into the room.

But then he heard the young lady say behind him, "Alright, I'll wake you up again at noon. Remember we made plans to go to the city center this afternoon."

Should we go to the city center this afternoon?

Lu Zhao paused, only then remembering that she had enjoyed her meal the night before and had agreed to go shopping with Messiah.

To be honest, if Xia Zhifei hadn't mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten that such a thing even existed.

But since it was already agreed upon, it wouldn't be good to go back on your word.

She nodded slightly: "Okay, let's talk about it this afternoon."

Now she's heading straight to her bed!

However... there are always a few things in life that cannot be achieved as one wishes, and at this moment, that thing is Lu Zhao's nap.

The phone emitted a deafening alarm, startling both Lu Zhao and Xia Zhifei.

Seriously? You have to work overtime on your day off to handle things?

She turned around hastily and met the young lady's gaze; both of them read the word "unwilling" in each other's eyes.

The phone, still blaring from the floor, remained silent for a while. Seeing it didn't stop, Lu Zhao reluctantly bent down to pick it up, first activating the alarm, then taking a closer look—

Rank A mission!

Mission Requirements: A vicious murder by the Spirit Clan has occurred in Jingyue Residential Area. The police have arrived and injured three people. The perpetrator has now escaped. Special envoys are requested to apprehend him as quickly as possible!

Good grief, a murder case, how did this suddenly turn into a Conan movie?

Lu Zhao subconsciously swallowed, grabbed a sip of water from the table and drank it all. He finally managed to suppress his slightly trembling movements before looking up at Xia Zhifei, whose face was deathly pale.

Theoretically speaking, if I don't take on the task, then someone else will take on the emergency, right?

This is a case of murder and assault on police officers; it's not something a newbie like her, who has only completed two emergency missions, can handle.

In that other world, I was just an ordinary college student!

Out of fear of the murderer, she did not immediately click to accept the mission, but waited for someone else to take it. However, several minutes had passed and no one responded to the mission.

What's going on? Is everyone on holiday on Sunday?

She didn't notice that Xia Zhifei was standing on the other side of the table, staring at her phone for a while. Although her expression was also not very good, she still reached out and tapped the screen.
