After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing Zhao Yuntao's explanation, Chen Shishi realized that she had misunderstood him. The surprised look in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Yuntao returned to normal, and she said to Zhao Yuntao, "Oh, oh, I see. You are a very disciplined person!"

After hearing Chen Shishi's praise, Zhao Yuntao concealed his nervousness and said to Chen Shishi, "Actually, it's alright. Most young people nowadays love to exercise!"

As the two chatted, Zhao Yuntao continued to ring Xu Bo'an's doorbell. When Xu Bo'an still wouldn't open the door, he called Xu Bo'an, which led to the events that followed.

When Zhao Yuntao heard Xu Bo'an's rude tone on the phone, he said, "It's Dr. Bai Susu who came looking for you. She rang the doorbell but there was no response, and she called but there was no response either. She finally got through, but you didn't say anything. I thought something bad had happened to you. Now that I've finally heard you speak, you still talk to me like this. Don't you have any manners?"

Xu Bo'an heard Zhao Yuntao's aggrieved voice on the other end of the phone say, "Alright, alright, I'll open the door for you right away!"

After saying that, Xu Bo'an got up, put on his pajamas, and went downstairs. He opened the door for the two of them and said, "Please come in!"

After welcoming the two in, Bai Susu looked at Xu Bo'an and said apologetically, "I wasn't too busy on duty last night, so I thought I'd come here this morning to learn medicine from you. I didn't expect that I would call you several times but no one answered. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I came over directly. I'm relieved to see that you're alright. I hope my sudden visit hasn't bothered you!"

Bai Susu had been so polite, so even though Xu Bo'an was a little annoyed that they were bothering him, he naturally wouldn't say it out loud.

Xu Bo'an then said to Bai Susu, "It's getting late, let's not disturb you, please come in and sit down!"

Zhao Yuntao, who was standing to the side, looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Bo'an, you were so fierce to me just now, but now you're so gentle to Bai Susu. Isn't that a bit too much of a case of prioritizing romance over friendship?"

Bai Susu blushed slightly when she heard Zhao Yuntao say that he valued women over friends. She lowered her head and coughed awkwardly, but she was still quite happy inside.

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and said irritably, "You brat, you woke me up with such a loud voice so early in the morning. I didn't complain, but you're still giving me a hard kick? Oh, right, I haven't asked you yet. Bai Susu came to me to learn medicine from me. What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao laughed and said, "Old Xu, what are you saying? We're good buddies! I was just worried something might have happened to you because I saw Bai Susu hadn't gone inside your house for a while, so I helped her ring the doorbell! I'm relieved to see you're alright!"

Xu Bo'an knew exactly what Zhao Yuntao was thinking. Looking at the dark circles under Zhao Yuntao's eyes, he said, "You little rascal, stop trying to be all smooth talk in front of me. I can tell you didn't sleep well last night by those dark circles. You didn't stay up all night guarding my door, did you? Do you really need to go to such lengths? I bet you have another purpose for coming to my house!"

Zhao Yuntao was immediately caught off guard by Xu Bo'an's words and quickly retorted, but he stammered, "You... what nonsense are you talking about? That's not true at all. I... I was just simply concerned about my good buddy!"

Xu Bo'an rolled his eyes at Zhao Yuntao and said, "Come on! You can't hide your little schemes from me!"

Zhao Yuntao said, "You old Xu, I'm clearly just trying to help you out. You don't appreciate it, and you're even mocking your brother like this. Do you have any conscience at all?"

Hearing Zhao Yuntao's stubborn denial, Xu Bo'an was too lazy to argue with him any longer. He said to Zhao Yuntao, "Alright, I'll reluctantly accept your concern. But now that you see I'm safe and sound, can you leave now?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao said, "Look at you! People finally have time to come to your house as guests, and you're already trying to kick them out? Isn't that a bit impolite?"

Xu Bo'an said, "Do you think we need to talk about manners with someone as scheming as you?"

Zhao Yuntao said, "Old Xu, you really are biting the hand that feeds you!"

Xu Bo'an feigned impatience and said to Zhao Yuntao, "Fine, fine, stay if you want! I can't be bothered with you!"

Zhao Yuntao said, "If you can't be bothered with me, then just ignore me. I haven't been to your house in a long time. I'm just wandering around and seeing if you've added any new or interesting things!"

When he said the last sentence, Zhao Yuntao deliberately emphasized it and added a strong sense of teasing.

Since Zhao Yuntao is so eager to know if there are any people hiding in his house, let him be. Even if Xu Bo'an makes him search his house thoroughly, he will not find any clues.

Xu Bo'an said, "How can you be so shameless? Since things have come to this, just do as you please!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao couldn't wait to start wandering around Xu Bo'an's room, wanting to see who the beautiful figure he had seen at Xu Bo'an's window yesterday was.

But after searching around for a long time, he found no clues. When he wandered to the bathroom, Zhao Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he saw a set of ancient costumes in the bathroom, exactly the same as the clothes worn by the beautiful figure he saw from Xu Bo'an's window yesterday.

Zhao Yuntao then called out to Xu Bo'an downstairs, "Bo'an, why are there women's ancient costumes in your bathroom?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yuntao's words, Xu Bo'an realized that Chen Shishi had forgotten to bring her ancient costume back to the bonsai world after washing it off yesterday.

It's all because it was too late yesterday, and everyone was too sleepy when we put Chen Shishi into the fish tank ecosystem, so we forgot about this!
However, Xu Bo'an's thoughts only lasted for a moment. Yesterday, he had lied to Zhao Yuntao, claiming that the ancient costumes were custom-made for the models. Then, Xu Bo'an casually said to Zhao Yuntao, "Is it strange to have ancient costumes?"

Zhao Yuntao said, "If it were men's ancient clothing, it wouldn't be strange, but this is clearly women's!"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Zhao Yuntao, Zhao Yuntao, do you know how ridiculous you are? You look like a wife searching for evidence of her husband's wrongdoing. You're so effeminate!"

Zhao Yuntao, who thought he had discovered a new continent, immediately lost his smug smile after being mercilessly mocked by Xu Bo'an. He looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny! Quickly explain which beautiful woman this dress belongs to!" Xu Bo'an replied, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that this was made for a mannequin?"

Zhao Yuntao was initially embarrassed to show the woman's underwear in front of Bai Susu, but given Xu Bo'an's stubborn denial, he had no choice but to do so. He took out Chen Shishi's underwear and looked at Xu Bo'an, saying, "Are you trying to fool me like this? Look at what I have in my hand! If you're making clothes for a mannequin, you only need to make outerwear. Who would make underwear for an ordinary person? This doesn't make sense!"

When Xu Bo'an saw Bai Susu's underwear, he was instantly unsettled. He hadn't expected that this little girl would leave even her underwear here.

Although Xu Bo'an was slightly embarrassed, fooling Zhao Yuntao was still a piece of cake. Xu Bo'an said, "Don't play dumb, kid. You auctioned off my clothes, and all the rest of the clothes have been bought. Now many people are ordering clothes from me. And ancient costumes are so popular right now. This dress was ordered by one of the customers. What's wrong with me letting the customer try it on on a mannequin first? If it doesn't fit, I can make adjustments in time!"

Zhao Yuntao had previously photographed clothes for Xu Bo'an, and Zhao Yuntao also knew that Xu Bo'an had many other clothes and did some business related to custom clothing.

Xu Bo'an's words left Zhao Yuntao speechless. At this moment, Zhao Yuntao couldn't help but wonder if he had been too eager to get Xu Bo'an's prized possession for free and had made a mistake.

However, Zhao Yuntao couldn't care less about that now. Since Xu Bo'an had already guessed his thoughts, he held up the ancient costume and said to Xu Bo'an, "The woman who bought this ancient costume must be a tall and beautiful girl. Otherwise, who could pull it off?"

Xu Bo'an casually replied, "That's not bad!"

Zhao Yuntao then said sarcastically, "Isn't she very beautiful?"

Xu Bo'an said impatiently, "What does it matter to you whether it's beautiful or not? Be careful not to get the customer's clothes dirty, put the clothes away properly, and get down here right now!"

After putting the clothes in the bathroom, Zhao Yuntao walked downstairs and said to Xu Bo'an, "It really has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with you, doesn't it?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao with great confusion and said, "All I need to do is sell the clothes, what does that have to do with me?"

Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and said with a smile, "Think about it, what would happen if you frequently came into contact with a beautiful woman?"

Xu Bo'an said, "What you're saying at most creates a buyer-seller relationship with the other party. What else can it be?"

Zhao Yuntao said, "That's not necessarily true. What if that beautiful girl takes a liking to you?"

Xu Bo'an said, "Go ahead and take a liking to it, but why are you telling me this? What does it have to do with you?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao glanced at Bai Susu sitting on the sofa and said, "It's a very big deal, you know what I mean!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yuntao's words and seeing him glance at Bai Susu, Xu Bo'an understood Zhao Yuntao's intentions. He was clearly trying to give Bai Susu a heads-up and put some pressure on her, hoping she would confess her feelings to Xu Bo'an as soon as possible so he could get the valuable and free collectible sooner.

Xu Bo'an rolled his eyes at Zhao Yuntao and said, "You kid, you can't do this. If you go too far, our bet will be null and void!"

Zhao Yuntao quickly said, "I was just hinting indirectly, I didn't say anything explicitly, so you can't break the rules!"

Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao, "Alright, alright, you've been at my house for so long, you've said everything you should and shouldn't have said, can you leave now?"

Zhao Yuntao said, "Old Xu, look at you. I came to your house and you didn't even pour me a glass of water before kicking me out. Isn't that a bit impolite?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao and said irritably, "You've been wandering around my house, do you think I need to be polite to someone as shameless as you?"

Indeed, Zhao Yuntao had achieved his goal of coming to Xu Bo'an's house, and since there was nothing else to do, he smiled at Xu Bo'an and said, "Bo'an, I'll be going now. You and Dr. Bai Susu get along well!"

Then he gave Bai Susu a brief greeting before turning to leave Xu Bo'an's house. Although Xu Bo'an and Zhao Yuntao joked around, they had a pretty good relationship.

Xu Bo'an looked at Zhao Yuntao's panda-like dark circles and kindly reminded him, "Go home and get some sleep, don't come out with those dark circles and scare people!"

After Zhao Yuntao left, only Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an remained in the room. Bai Susu then followed Xu Bo'an to the room where they would study medicine.

At noon, Bai Susu personally cooked a lot of delicious food. After the two finished eating and rested for a while, they went to study medicine again.

Xu Bo'an's phone rang around 6 PM. He glanced at the phone on the table and saw that it was Zhao Yuntao again. Before Zhao Yuntao could even speak, Xu Bo'an said to him, "You little rascal, you've woken up and are here to pick a fight with me again?"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao laughed and said, "Bo'an, what are you talking about? Don't you see it's lunchtime? I called you specifically to invite you to dinner! How about that? Pretty good buddy, right?"

Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao on the other end of the phone, "That depends on your sincerity. I don't usually go to restaurants!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "When I invite a patron like you to dinner, the place can't be shabby, right? How about we go to Dongjiang Yashe?" (End of Chapter)
