In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

But...it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Perhaps because she likes aromatherapy very much, Su Shi's brown hair always has a faint fragrance. It not only feels great to touch, but also smells pleasant.

The two sat on the bench under the street light for a while, and finally Su Shi broke the silence.

"It's already quite late... Mr. Baili, what are your plans next?"

The soft and soothing voice seemed to carry some kind of hint.

No, this is actually more like an explicit statement, right?

Bai Li was not a real piece of wood after all, so he certainly understood Su Shi's meaning. But when he thought of Xiao Mu at home, especially the helpless and fragile sleeping face of the green-haired girl before leaving, he was always a little worried.

Anyone with great supernatural powers has the instinct to act on impulse and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

But the feeling today was very strange. It was not a warning of impending danger, but an... indescribable, inexplicable feeling.

He thought about it and decided to reject Su Shi's invitation.

"Next time, I have some things to do when I get home today."

The brown-haired girl bit her lip lightly, feeling a little lost.

Just when I was getting used to it, and my mom was not around, I could do it without any worries, but who would have thought this would be the result.

But Su Shi didn't want to be seen as a shy girl. In addition, she was a considerate person by nature. She didn't raise any objections, nor did she even show a trace of dissatisfaction. She just asked with concern:

"Is it something urgent? If there's anything I can help with, Baili-kun, please feel free to tell me~"

"If I have to say, it's not really that important."

Bai Li didn't hide her feelings. After all, the relationship between the two was already close enough. "Actually, it's Xiao Mu. When she went out today, I felt like something wasn't right with her. It seemed like she was worried about something, so I was a little worried."

"Xiao, Xiao Mu?"

The brown-haired girl was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.

Why was my boyfriend able to tell that something was wrong with Xiaomu before he went out on a date with me?

When did the relationship between you two become so close?!

"Didn't I tell you?"

Bai Li was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have not explained this matter in detail to Su Shi. However, it was not too late to explain it now. "At the request of Ms. Mori Minami, Xiao Mu will be staying at my house for a while."

Temporary stay?

The smile on Nagasaki Suyo's face froze, and she suddenly felt a little confused.

In other words... without her knowing, Xiao Mu and her boyfriend had actually been living together?!

The top of my head seemed to suddenly feel heavier, as if I had an extra hat on.

Bai Li didn't notice her abnormality, and just briefly recounted the process of how he and Xiao Mu met.

Of course, due to the length of the article, he did not mention his secretary Xiaoxiang, but only said that he had received a commission from the Ruoye family.

When Su Shi heard that his friend had been haunted by an evil spirit in his dream and almost died, his expression was a little complicated.

If you want to talk about being angry, of course she is angry.

However, Xiao Mu's experience did not allow her to say anything too harsh.

Su Shi had personally experienced the feeling of being haunted by evil spirits, and because of this, he understood the pain and despair even more.

Xiao Mu is a quiet person to begin with. After this incident, he has suffered psychological trauma. He can only sleep peacefully next to Bai Lijun. It is understandable.

After all, she had felt this way before.

But understanding is one thing, but is this your excuse for getting my boyfriend for free?!

The only good news is probably that Xiao Mu really has no intention of fighting for anything, just as she once said.

Even though he had the geographical advantage of being close to the water, he still lost the initiative to himself.

If she wanted to compete with me, just living under the same roof with Bailijun would give her many more opportunities than I do.

Thinking of this, Su Shi was silent for a long time before he said softly:

"Can I... also go home with Bailijun to visit Xiaomu?"

After hearing this shocking news, there was no way the girl could pretend nothing happened and go back home.

After all, we still have to use our own eyes to judge the real facts, right?

"of course can."

Baili didn't think so much.

Su Shi and Xiao Mu are classmates and good friends. It is normal for him to want to visit his friend in person when he learns that something is not right with Xiao Mu.

What's more, she and Xiaomu are both girls.

If Xiao Mu really had something on his mind and was too embarrassed to tell himself, he shouldn't have too many concerns when facing Su Shi.

Moreover, seeing his friends coming to visit him, Xiao Mu would probably be very happy too, right?

Making his sister smile innocently is what a good brother should do.

The two of them took the train home together, but the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Su Shi was staring at the night view outside the window the whole time, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Forty-five minutes later.

With a "beep" sound, the password verification was passed and the door was opened.

The girl with long light green hair rushed over with a bright smile on her face, looking very happy.

"Brother, welcome back...eh?"

The pair of golden eyes froze for a moment, looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, and even time seemed to stop.

Chapter 156 Metis: Package C

"Su Shi?"

In the living room, the girl with long light green hair tilted her head, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes as clear as gold foil.

"How will you be here?"

"I heard from Bailijun that you, Xiaomu, seem to be worried about something."

Nagasaki Suyo still maintained a faint smile, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. "So, I am a little worried."

"I see!"

Metis suddenly realized something, her beautiful eyebrows curved into crescents, and she smiled innocently and brightly, "I'm sorry to have worried Sushi~ But I'm in great shape now, huh? Or rather, I've never felt better~"

Looking at her friend's smile that was bright enough to be called dazzling, Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment.

How long had it been since she saw Xiao Mu smile so happily?

The last time I saw Xiao Mu smile was when Crychic had not yet disbanded and everyone in the band went to karaoke for team building.

But the girl quickly shook her head and put these distracting thoughts behind her - she didn't come here today to reminisce about the past.

She met Ruoye Mu's eyes, her tone gentle, yet inexplicably sharp, "Come to think of it, I never expected that Xiaomu had actually been living under the same roof with Bailijun. There hadn't even been a whisper of it before, and I was shocked when I heard the news."

"Does Su Shi care about this matter?"

Metis put her hands behind her back. It was obviously a playful action, but it made Nagasaki Suyo frown imperceptibly.

"It was just a little unexpected."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion…

Why does this little Mu in front of me always feel weird?

If I have to say...it seems a bit too lively?

Nagasaki Suyo knew her friend's character very well.

He is introverted and has nothing. Although he comes from a good family and looks, he lives like a marginal person in the class.

Since Xiaoxiang left, she has become Xiaomu's only friend in Yuezhisen.

But even when facing Su Shi, Ruoye Mu's expression and words still could not be described as rich.

Most of the time, when the two of them were together, it was Su Shi who was talking, and Xiao Mu was the listener. Even if there were occasional responses, they were simple words like "hmm", "oh", "I see", and "no".

But... Xiao Mu today is like a different person.

Such a brilliant smile and such playful movements, in Su Shi's eyes, all revealed a strong sense of incongruity.

Obviously... she hadn't changed so much when we were in class in Tsuki no Mori yesterday.

The brown-haired girl couldn't help but twist her hands together on her knees.

This was her subconscious action when she was anxious and thinking.

A friend who was once so familiar with me suddenly changed his personality and behaved in a completely different way from his character...

This kind of plot gave her an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, reminding her of the horror movie she had watched not long ago.

"Hey, Sushi?"

Suddenly, a slender white hand flashed before her and waved in front of her. "Why are you suddenly in a daze?"

This sudden movement startled Su Shi, and his body instinctively shrank back.

When she came to her senses, she found that Xiao Mu had walked up to her at some point, and was tilting his head slightly, looking at her curiously.

"Just, just thought of something else..."

Su Shi's smile was a little forced. She was obviously a little angry when she came here, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Mu's behavior of taking advantage of her boyfriend.

But when she was actually facing a friend who seemed to be 100% or even 90% wrong with her, she felt a suffocating feeling of oppression.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a while."

The reassuring voice broke the heavy atmosphere in the living room.

Bending down, he placed the brewed black tea and mango juice on the coffee table one by one. Bai Li stood up and was about to say something when someone hugged his arm tightly.

“It’s mango juice!”
