Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 521 Spoiled Flower Fairy vs. Aloof Buddhist Monk (20)

A faint sigh escaped from Wuchen.

Finally, he helped the little flower fairy sit up, placed his hands on hers, and channeled his pure yang energy into her to alleviate her pain from qi deviation.

Shen Shuyi was pretending to be asleep when suddenly a surge of true energy flowed in, warm and comforting her.

Her pale face gradually turned rosy, and her slightly parted lips were tempting to be picked.

Wuchen regulated her internal energy, and after half an incense stick's time, a slight sweat appeared on her forehead.

He opened his eyes and saw that the girl's complexion had improved considerably before withdrawing his hand and gently laying her down to lie down.

After tucking the blanket in, Wuchen prepared to stand up and leave, but his eyes met a pair of bright, lively eyes.

"Master, why are you still here?"

Wuchen was caught off guard when she woke up at this time and was momentarily at a loss.

"This humble monk...this humble monk is merely checking on Miss Shen's condition."

"My head doesn't hurt as much anymore. Did the master help me regulate my breathing?"

Shen Shuyi reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Master, am I dreaming?"

Wuchen's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't respond to her words.

Shen Shuyi's hand followed the hem of her clothes, grasped Wuchen's dry and warm palm, pulled his hand to her cheek, closed her eyes and whispered.

"Even if it's just a dream, it's still good. I hope the master will take a look at me."

Wuchen soon heard her breathing even; she had fallen asleep again.

He sat on the edge of the bed for a while before letting go of her hand, getting up, glancing at her once, and then leaving.

The next day, Shen Shuyi got up early and went outside. She found herself in an unfamiliar courtyard. The courtyard was elegant and even had wisteria flowers planted in it.

She heard a sound coming from the kitchen and went over to find Wuchen cooking.

Good morning, Master Wuchen.

"Hmm." Wuchen picked up a clay pot and came to the courtyard, then took out bowls and chopsticks. "Let's have breakfast first."

Smelling the rich aroma of rice, Shen Shuyi asked in surprise, "Master, you can cook too?"

"know a little."

Shen Shuyi ladled herself a bowl of rice porridge and took a vegetable bun. She looked around the house and asked, "What is this house?"

"rental."

"I rented it, and I really like it. I didn't expect there to be wisteria trees in the yard."

"Master, how long will we be staying here?"

"Let's talk after breakfast."

Wuchen seemed to adhere to the principle of not speaking while eating or sleeping, so Shen Shuyi quietly ate breakfast with him.

Shen Shuyi was biting into a steamed bun when she suddenly heard a system notification.

[Ding—Congratulations, host! The favorability rating between you and the quest target, Wuchen, has reached 50%!]
Shen Shuyi looked up at Wuchen, then lowered her head to ponder. Could it be that Wuchen really fell for her act of feigning pitifulness while remaining resilient and beautiful?
She really did manage to achieve a huge breakthrough in her favorability rating by sheer accident.

It wasn't exactly a fluke. Actually, many men like women who are somewhat pitiful, strong, and beautiful.

Although Wuchen has left home to become a monk and converted to Buddhism, he is still a man, and a man with inner demons.

After breakfast, Wuchen went back to his inner room to chant scriptures, while Shen Shuyi took a walk around the house. The environment here was quite nice.

In particular, there is an old peach tree in the yard just a few steps away, laden with peaches. It is the season for peaches to ripen, and each one is pink and tempting.

Shen Shuyi was tempted and couldn't resist jumping up and sitting on the courtyard wall to pick a peach.

One bite revealed its juicy, sweet, and crisp texture, making it incredibly delicious. She couldn't resist picking another one. Before leaving, she took a gold ingot from her purse, tossed it onto the stone table in the courtyard, and departed.

Shen Shuyi ate and took some things, then went for another stroll. When she returned it was almost noon, and she was hungry, so she couldn't resist going next door to pick peaches. Suddenly, she smelled the aroma of meat next door—it smelled like roasted meat.
To be honest, she hadn't eaten meat for several days, and the thought of going home and eating vegetarian food made her feel utterly deflated.

Why not buy some meat while you're buying peaches?
Shen Shuyi moved quickly, leaping over the wall and nearly bumping into someone in the courtyard.

"Aunt, young lady?" a man dressed in a moon-white scholar's robe asked in surprise.

Fearing he would mistake her for a thief, Shen Shuyi quickly said, "I'd like to buy some peaches."

She pointed to the peach tree, then to the kitchen, "I'm hungry, could you buy me another meal?"

The scholar had never seen such a beautiful woman before and was stunned. He quickly came to his senses and took out a gold ingot.

"Is this gold ingot yours, young lady?"

"It's just a few peaches. If you want to eat them, young lady, you can pick them for free."

Saying that she would return the gold to Shen Shuyi, she didn't reach out her hand, unsure of where to put it.

"Take the money back, but don't climb the wall again if you want peaches next time."

"My name is Zheng Xuan. May I ask your name, young lady?"

Shen Shuyi didn't take any money. "My surname is Shen. I wonder if Young Master Zheng could prepare some food for me?"

Before Zheng Xuan could answer, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Please wait a moment, young lady, I'll go open the door." Zheng Xuan opened the door and saw a dignified-looking monk standing outside.

The courtyard gate opened, and Wuchen immediately saw the little flower fairy walk out of the courtyard, holding a roasted chicken leg in her hand.

When Shen Shuyi saw Wuchen, she instinctively hid the chicken leg behind her back and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Master, what brings you here?"

Zheng Xuan glanced back and forth between the two, his gaze finally settling on Shen Shuyi.

"Miss Shen, do you know each other?"

"Yes, we live right next door."

"By the way, Mr. Zheng, please accept the money. I'll buy the items, is that alright?"

Seeing that she couldn't resist taking out some roast chicken to eat, Zheng Xuan knew she was starving, so he quickly invited, "Master and Miss Shen, you just moved here, right? Why don't you stay here for a simple meal?"

Before Shen Shuyi could speak, Wuchen said, "Thank you, benefactor. This humble monk has already prepared a vegetarian meal."

Zheng Xuan had no choice but to say, "Then please wait a moment, Master and Miss Shen, while I pack some dishes for you as a gesture of hospitality."

Before long, Shen Shuyi happily returned home carrying a large bag of peaches and a food box of meat and vegetables.

System 66 was a little envious of the fried fish in the food box: Host, that Zheng Xuan is a literary star reincarnated, he's amazing, he'll be the top scholar in a few years!
Shen Shuyi exclaimed, "I think he's extraordinary; he's handsome and kind-hearted."

Immortals are truly different.

Shen Shuyi happily ate the meat that someone had given her. On the table was a vegetarian roast goose made by Wuchen. Underneath the golden and crispy tofu skin were mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and carrots. One bite revealed the aroma of oil and the fragrance of beans, making it especially delicious.

In addition, there is vegetarian stew made with dried bean curd sticks, wood ear fungus, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage, which is slow-cooked in a clay pot and is delicious.

It's clear that Wuchen has been cooking very carefully, trying his best to satisfy the little flower fairy's appetite.

But the little flower fairy still went next door to steal some food!

Shen Shuyi looked up, just about to praise Wuchen's vegetarian dishes, when she saw the man eating silently with a calm expression. Even so, Shen Shuyi could still sense that the man's emotions were fluctuating.

The system notification sounded in my mind again: Favorability is decreasing!
[Host, host, Wuchen's favorability towards you has suddenly dropped to thirty percent!]
Shen Shuyi was slightly taken aback.

Is he angry?

"It's good to be angry," Shen Shuyi continued eating with relish, not in a hurry at all.
