"Well... let me think about it..." Zhiyao twirled her chin and lowered her head, looking pensive. "The story takes place on Rishang Mountain... maybe... um, right, Fengshi... the solution must be with Fengshi!"

Wuhui immediately understood what he meant, "Are you going to Mt. Hijo?"

"Of course." Zhiyao responded as a matter of course, "Not only do we have to go, but we also have to meet Fengshi."

As soon as the words fell, Xili beside him shook her head vigorously, sounding uneasy, "I'm not going there. If you want to go, go by yourselves."

"Auntie, how can the problem be solved if you don't go?" Zhiyao was speechless.

"I... don't want to get close to that for now." Xili's breathing became disordered and she hugged her head in pain.

"As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long pain. Listen to me, it's better to solve it as soon as possible." Zhiyao tried to persuade.

"I don't want it!" Xili refused firmly. "Please don't push me any further. Let me take some time off and decide the time myself."

At this moment, Zhiyao felt like a doctor, wanting to make the patient recover as soon as possible, but the patient insisted on delaying, so she had no choice but to let it go.

"Okay, okay, call me when you're ready."

The topic ended here. There were only two octopus balls left. Thinking that they would have to walk for a while, Zhiyao stuffed the paper lunch box into Xili's hands without saying anything.

"I have two left for you. Eat them quickly. If you don't want to eat them, throw them away."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked forward. After he took two steps, a female voice like the melodious chirping of a bird came from behind him.

"Zhiyao."

Actually, this was the first time someone called me by my name. I was curious about who it was, and when I turned to the source of the sound, I saw it was Kurosawa Rei. In addition, Aso Yu was following her.

"Lian? Oh, what a rare visitor." Zhiyao pretended to be surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Unexpectedly, Lian answered the question irrelevantly, "Wait a minute, how old are you this year?"

Zhiyao was a little confused as to why he suddenly asked this.

"I'm about twenty," he replied.

"You're younger than me. If that's the case, you can't just call her Lian. You have to call her Sister Lian."

Why be so rigid? Zhiyao felt helpless, but of course, she would not argue with her.

"Sister Lian..."

"Hmm." Lian smiled awkwardly.

Next, Zhiyao turned to Aso Yuyu, "Hey, Aso brother is here too."

"Long time no see, Sikong." You Yu nodded. "Good evening."

"Oh, good evening, are you two shopping?"

"I've been busy with work lately, so I took Lian out for a walk to relax." Youyu replied.

"What a coincidence, I'm also here to relax with someone."

Just as Zhiyao was about to introduce Xili to the two of them, Lian had already been sizing her up for a while and even started teasing her, "Who's that with you? Such a pretty girl, could she be your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Zhiyao immediately remembered that Lian had said the same thing when they first met at Hinasaki's house, and was completely speechless.

Lian is a journalist by profession, so her extroverted personality is to be expected, but her gossipiness is totally unexpected.

"No."

Zhiyao denied it calmly.

Glancing at Xili again, she seemed calm and composed, with not even a hint of blushing on her face. This made him curious about how Xili would react if he admitted it.

Still turning a deaf ear? Or correcting me coldly?

"Hey, Zhiyao." Lian's voice sounded in my ears again.

"uh-huh?"

"How did that matter go last time? Why haven't you contacted me yet?"

"What happened?" Zhiyao was confused.

"Photos." Lian reminded.

"What photo?" Zhiyao scratched his temples, confused.

This person didn't seem to be playing dumb, and Lian was completely speechless. She sighed in disappointment, "Don't tell me you don't remember the photos of the interior of the Himuro residence."

After being reminded like this, Zhiyao suddenly remembered and looked embarrassed.

"Uh uh uh, I've been busy lately..."

"Huh——" Lian walked forward slowly, poking Zhiyao's shoulder with her fingers, "How can you be like this? You don't care about your sister at all."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Just saying sorry won't do. I was expecting so much."

Lian acted like she was right and refused to give in. For some reason, Zhiyao had a bad feeling and glanced at Youyu. Youyu also had a half-smile on her face, as if she was waiting to see the show.

Seeing Lian's smile becoming more and more malicious, Zhiyao quickly promised: "In two days! I will personally deliver the photos in two days!"

Suddenly thinking of something, he sternly warned: "And I also have a request. You and Aso-san must keep this a secret. You can't let Hinasaki and his sister, especially Crimson, know about it."

"Row."

Lian agreed readily without any hesitation.

But Youyu couldn't help asking.

"why?"

"No reason, just keep it a secret. If you break your promise, you two will lose my trust."

"It's a deal then. I'll trust you one more time, hum." Lian said coquettishly.

"Please rest assured, and remember to prepare the money." Zhiyao reminded silently.

The two high-fived.

After saying goodbye to Aso Yuu and Kurosawa Rei, Zhiyao and Xili continued to stroll side by side on the street. As his eyes moved to Xili's profile for the third time, Zhiyao, who could not bear the silence, started talking again.

"Do you know who that woman was just now?"

"I don't know him." Xili looked straight ahead, her mind focused.

Zhiyao wanted to ask for a guess, but when he noticed Xili's expression remained indifferent and didn't seem very interested, he frankly announced, "The same game protagonist as you."

After hearing this, Xili turned around and looked behind her.

Xili still didn't react much, but Zhiyao had already enjoyed it.

"Hinasaki Shinku, Amakura Mio, Kurosawa Rei, Mizunoe Ryuka, and Fukata Yuri, I've already met three of the five heroines, and the remaining two should be around soon."

"Well, I wish all your wishes come true." Xili responded indifferently.

Chapter 100: [Not Out of Place]

When the weather is not good, Wuming is not at home.

After the seventh knock on the door, no one came to open it. Zhiyao lowered her head in frustration.

"Didn't you contact me before you left?" Xili asked.

"No." Zhiyao said.

Xili was speechless.

I wanted to suggest calling that person's cell phone, but thinking that cell phones were not yet popular in that era, I gave up.

"Let's go back." Xili turned around calmly, but as soon as she turned around, her eyes met with a young woman.

"Why are you here?" Xili heard the young woman say this, and then saw Zhiyao change her lost expression and greet her happily.

"Boss!"

Wu Ming remained calm and asked Zhi Yao, "Why are you here?"

"I came here specially to see you, hehe." Zhiyao grinned.

"Nonsense."

"As expected of the boss, he even noticed this."

"If you have something to say, please say it quickly." Wu Ming yawned sleepily. "Your boss is very tired now and doesn't want to bother with you, so just finish what you want to say and go back."

Wuming ordered them to leave and took out the key to open the door.

Seeing she was genuinely exhausted, Zhiyao stopped beating around the bush. After looking around and making sure no one was eavesdropping, she leaned over to whisper, "The girl next to me isn't Fang Xili. She's from 20 years in the future. Could you please help her get an ID card?"

As soon as he said this, Wuming looked Xili up and down.

"really?"

With Zhiyao, a living example, standing before her, she was not very suspicious.

"The one who lied to you was your son." Zhiyao patted his chest hard and promised solemnly.

After he finished speaking, Wuming rolled his eyes and glared at him.

"I don't have a son as naughty as you."

"Ahaha, alright, alright, Xili really is from the future." Zhiyao immediately beamed, wrapping her arm affectionately around Wuming's shoulders. "You can get me a student ID or a medical insurance card. I need to live, after all."

Wuming took his hand away and gave him a bored expression, "Why do I feel like you're more like the boss?"

"That's not true!" Zhiyao waved her hands hurriedly, "You'll always be the boss, okay?"

"Then why do you always tell me to do things?"

Zhiyao choked, her gaze silently shifting elsewhere. She quickly rolled her eyes before offering a defensive and flattering defense: "Because you're more capable. Besides, this isn't an order, it's a commission. That's why I always come to you... Let me ask you this: who's more capable of solving problems, a powerful leader or useless subordinates?"

"Of course..." Wuming fell silent after nearly being tricked. His gaze shifted to Xili, "Are you so sure she's from the future?"

"I'm sure of that, because in the original world, I saw her 20 years later."

"Okay, wait a few minutes." After saying that, Wuming took off his shoes and walked quickly into the house. A few minutes later, he came out with a camera in his hand. Without saying a word, he started taking a lot of pictures of Xili's face.

After the filming was over, Wuming started shaking his hands and chasing people away.

"You can take her away now. I'll bring her back personally when the matter is done."

Zhiyao received the order and immediately told Xili to leave. After a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, asking at the top of his lungs, "Boss, is Ah Xiu back?"

"No news. We will come to you when we come back. Please continue to wait patiently."

As the voice fell, the door was gently closed. Having resolved the important matter, Zhiyao felt refreshed at this moment, and even the air she breathed was sweet.

……

On the way back, Xili kept looking at Zhiyao's face. For some reason, when the number of times increased, Zhiyao stopped, thinking that Xili had something to say.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to worry."

"Uh." Xili opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself.

After some time.

"Forget it if you can't say it." Zhiyao shifted his gaze back to the front and continued to move forward.

Only then did I finally remember Xili's voice, "Why... do I need someone to get me an ID..."

"Didn't you hear everything?" Zhiyao turned half of her face away. "To be honest, when I first arrived, I couldn't find a job because I had no documents. As a result, I went hungry every day and had to sleep in the park at night. Later, I almost went to open a treasure chest. You came a few months later than me. As someone who has been there, of course I have to learn from your mistakes and help you make arrangements. Besides, you can't live in the Gudu family's shrine for the rest of your life."

That's what it was for.

This person actually took so much care about something that she had never thought about. For a moment, Xili suddenly didn't know what to say.

Little did he know that Zhiyao hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Xili."
