In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

This made him regret not bringing more props; at least a tail would have been fine.

Uh, it's a clean place in the hospital, so it's not appropriate to talk about this. Let's stop here.

And her ability to manipulate gravity... She experienced it firsthand when she massaged herself last time, and now that she's applying it in actual combat, it's even more remarkable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's floating on air.

Could anyone else do that? (doge)

Xia Wuyou's eyelashes fluttered slightly. This was the first time this had ever happened to her, but the subconscious tension and unease didn't last long. Xu Shi wasn't rough at all; he would even guide her very gently...

She was also happy. To be honest, although it was only one surgery apart, the difference in her mindset was quite significant.

To be honest, in the past, because of her aunt, no matter what the mood or the act of throwing herself at someone, there was always a hint of "sacrifice" in it, making it seem like she was only doing this or that to Xu Shi because of the white-haired loli. Although it was harmless, Xia Wuyou still felt a little uncomfortable.

But now that this layer is gone, the relationship between the two seems to be purer. The past entanglements have vanished, and it's simply because they like each other that they are willing to give themselves to each other without reservation. All they can do is enjoy it.

"do not move."

During their tender moment, Xu Shi suddenly seemed to remember something and carefully searched for something on Xia Wuyou.

"Hey?"

Xia Wuyou was completely confused, but she soon noticed that she had a mark on her body—what else could it be? Of course, it was the holy mark that completed the closed loop of "entropy of evil thoughts".

And quite dramatically, Xia Wuyou's holy mark appeared precisely three inches below her lower abdomen, in the shape of folded wings with simple feather patterns in the middle.

"Holy crap, the standard position?"

Xu Shi was slightly surprised, thinking to himself that this was far too arousing...

"what?"

Xia Wuyou didn't understand what he was talking about, but after Xu Shi explained it to her, she roughly understood. Embarrassed, she buried her head in the blanket. "How can there be such a thing..."

It seems that anyone would react this way the first time they encounter a Stigmata. Actually, it's understandable; it's like being branded. It would be a lie to say you're not shy.

Xu Shi never shied away from explaining things to them—to be honest, whether it was Jiang Chengcheng, Gu Yi, or Xia Wuyou, who could be completely unaware that they were being affected by "entropy of evil thoughts"? But this thing doesn't have the coercive power of mind control; it just has an effect.

He didn't force anyone to do anything... Okay, Gu Yi might be one, but when he first kidnapped her, Chairman Xu hadn't awakened his abilities yet.

Moreover, to be fair, if it were Xia Wuyou, the existence of the Holy Mark wouldn't seem to have much of an impact, since her heart was already with him... Of course, it's not entirely without its benefits; the improvement in the strength of one's superpowers can only be realized through a complete closed loop.

He could also sense that the constraints of A- were basically exhausted, and he was only one step away from becoming a true A-level.

In ancient times, there was the dual cultivation of immortals and heroes; now there is the feedback from holy marks. It can only be said that the times are developing and progressing.

"Then... do other people have it too?"

Xia Wuyou burys her head in the sand for a while before poking her head out from under the covers and muttering, "How do I... compare to you?"

She didn't actually dwell on it for long. The truth is, she knew from the first meeting that Xu Shi had used tricks on her, but she was already indifferent to it. Looking back now, her previous struggles and rejections seemed irrelevant.

So she was curious about this kind of question, because she knew she couldn't possibly be Xu Shi's only woman.

"I can't say for sure."

Xu Shi pulled her into his arms, "Only when we compare them together can I give you an accurate answer."

That's the way it is. Jiang Cheng is charming, Gu Yi is cute, and Xia Wuyou is pure, obedient, and has many tricks up her sleeve. Each of them has their own merits.

"You...you still want me to be with other people...?"

Xia Wuyou was dumbfounded. She had never imagined such a thing. In her mind, this kind of thing only happened between two people behind closed doors, right? What would it be like with three people? Sorry, I don't know…

What Xu Shi didn't know was that the so-called "others" she mentioned was actually a specific person.

She didn't know Gu Yi and Jiang Chengcheng very well. To be honest, they were just colleagues, and their relationship was still at the stage of "meeting briefly and knowing that such a person exists." Naturally, she didn't know what had happened between them and Xu Shi.

On the contrary, she knew more about Su Lin and had compared them more often in the past, so she was the first person she thought of.

Anyway, this bad guy is obviously a seasoned pro, so his relationship with Director Su...

Alas.

She immediately imagined Su Lin's aloof image crumbling in front of Xu Shi, unaware that she herself was almost the same, and even more unaware that she was actually ahead of Su Lin...

"However, there are still some drawbacks."

Xu Shi didn't notice what she was thinking and started muttering to himself.

"What shortcomings?"

Xia Wuyou was curious.

"We should prepare another bed."

Xu Shi said earnestly.

"Ok?"

Xia Wuyou was puzzled. Why did they need two beds? Was it some strange arrangement she didn't understand...?

"You're overthinking it. It's mainly for separating wet and dry areas."

Xu Shi smiled slyly.

Team Leader Xia blinked, and it took her a while to realize what he meant.

"Isn't that necessary..."

She glared at Xu Shi with annoyance. "Last night I couldn't help but spray holy water, wasn't it you who deliberately provoked me... It wasn't my fault!"

"And do you plan to live here indefinitely?"

Xia Wuyou added, "Once Auntie has recovered, we should also consider moving out."

That's true. Although the treatment in the luxury ward is very good, and no one would complain if I stayed here for a long time, this is a hospital after all, and it's not a good idea to stay here all the time.

Have you decided where to move to?

Xu Shi expressed his understanding and casually asked.

"I haven't decided yet, but finding a place to stay should be easy."

Xia Wuyou smiled and said, "Now I have a lot more money to spend, and I have many more options."

She would never consider that cramped rental apartment again. With more money at her disposal, she could at least move to a more comfortable place. In fact, under normal circumstances, the salary of a "Snake Ring" field team leader should be at least that of a high-level executive.

"I'll go find a three-bedroom apartment."

She blinked and asked, "In that case... you can come and stay for a while, but the rent might be a bit expensive. It might not be possible in the 15th ward or above. Let me see if the 14th ward is suitable..."

Xu Shi could only laugh. The dignified "Refractive" young lady actually considered cost-effectiveness first... Come to think of it, ten years of wandering had long changed her way of thinking. Would she have considered splitting every penny in half before? But once a habit is formed, it is not so easy to change.

So he offered a more economical suggestion: "Why don't you just move in with me? You'll save 100% immediately."

"Not so good?"

Xia Wuyou paused, then hesitated and said, "Isn't it mainly inconvenient? If I remember correctly, Director Su lives with you?"

"I'm the head of the household, okay?"

Xu Shi said irritably, "Besides, you're not the first one to move in..."

"...Really, no rent?"

Hearing him say that, Xia Wuyou's willingness to refuse softened a little, and she asked half-jokingly.

"You want to give me something I don't mind."

Xu Shi pinched her.

"I'm afraid that the wicked landlord might take this opportunity to do something to the tenants..."

Xia Wuyou let out a soft moan, but took the initiative to cling to him.

She wouldn't have any objections. To be honest, she didn't want to leave Xu Shi. Otherwise, why would she rent an extra room for him? If she really moved in with him, they could spend more time together.

"Then let's start with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent in advance."

Xu Shi was amused by her words and thought to himself, "How do you just say things like that? Are you a repressed pervert or did you just pick it up naturally? It's very alluring, you know..."

But Xia Wuyou added the second half of her sentence, "To be honest, are you alright? To be frank, I feel your physical condition is a little weak... Even if you are the chairman, you need to exercise more."

This is relative.

The high-intensity work didn't faze Xia Wuyou; he often faced more arduous tasks in the field.

But that doesn't mean Xu Shi is really "incapable". In fact, he is in good physical condition, but he is indeed inferior to Xia Wuyou. Even without his special abilities, he might not be a match for Xia Wuyou in bare hands.

"Is now not the time to beg for mercy like last night?"

Xu Shi suddenly became angry, rolled over and pinned her down, "The rules have changed, now it's one month's deposit and six months' rent in advance!"

"No, I won't stay here anymore, okay..."

Xia Wuyou verbally begged for forgiveness, but her eyes were full of laughter. Who knows if she said those words on purpose? She wasn't exactly innocent herself...

"Dream on! This is forced buying and selling!"

……

Thus, Chairman Xu finally achieved his ultimate goal for this holiday: to indulge in debauchery every day.

With nothing to worry about, the two of them have been acting recklessly these past few days, as if they were making up for all the regrets from before.

It's getting a bit out of control... And then Xia Wuyou somehow got hold of a nurse's uniform, and started indulging in uniform fetishes... Even her usual combat bodysuit has now been transformed into an attack speed outfit.

This was, of course, what Xu Shi requested.

“I’ve wanted to do this for ten years.”

That's what the shameless man said.

Did we meet ten years ago?

Xia Wuyou rolled her eyes at him.

"We're just not familiar with each other, right?"

Xu Shi countered that back then, "Refraction" still existed and "Snake Ring" was still in the second-rate stage, but there were still necessary business dealings. It was impossible to say that these younger generations had no interaction.

At that time, he didn't pay attention to Xia Wuyou, and Xia Wuyou's gaze was probably only fixed on Shen He.

Now... it's really a sad thing to think about it.

Hehe, shh.

"Now we're as familiar as can be."
