Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"Besides... I've said before that I'll try to get used to you, and even fall in love with you. If you think it's true, then it's true; if you think it's false, then it's false. But I've always been serious."

Zhou Fengliu fell silent.

He thought he had convinced Feng Shayan, but he didn't expect that Feng Shayan would change her tactics and start doing some kind of crazy urban stunts as a 26-year-old landlady.

He thought Feng Shayan's later statement was false, but he never expected... what he thought was just his assumption.

...

"Don't worry, I'll take things slowly as you said, and start as friends... Don't overthink it, I've taken your advice to heart."

"I treat you as a friend, and you treat me as a friend too. If we spend some time together and there's really no feeling between us, I won't ask you to date me again."

"Of course, as for whether this is a conspiracy to force you to join the World Society, you don't need to worry. It's me who wants to be your friend, not the World Society. Before you bring it up, the World Society fully respects your personal choice."

Feng Shayan's words showed that she fully respected what Zhou Fengliu had said.

Zhou Fengliu had said he wanted to earn money with dignity, so Feng Shayan arranged a nicely decorated, low-priced rental apartment for him in the city center.

After hearing Feng Shayan finish speaking, Zhou Fengliu suddenly felt that it was alright, which made him feel a sense of relaxation.

"Since Miss Feng has put it this way, I won't say much more. Having more friends is always a good thing. Since Miss Feng has rented me such a cheap apartment, I have nothing more to say. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"it is good."

"Huh? Really want to eat? You're welcome, you're welcome." Zhou Fengliu was just being polite; he didn't expect that the busy young lady of the Tianxia Society would actually have time.

"Aren't you sincere?"

"Can't you make excuses?"

Why are you making excuses?

"Okay, okay..." Zhou Fengliu nodded, indicating that this friend was quite straightforward.

"By the way, please don't call me Miss Feng anymore. It sounds too distant," Feng Shayan added.

"What's it called?" Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment, and a name involuntarily popped into his mind: "Yanzi?"

Feng Shayan remained silent.

"whatever."

...

In the sweltering summer, nothing beats barbecue. Zhou Fengliu didn't care that Feng Shayan was the young lady of the Tianxia Society and took her to a barbecue stall.

"Order whatever you'd like...don't be shy," Zhou Fengliu said.

"..." Feng Shayan looked around at the surrounding environment.

Small stools, low tables, a noisy environment, passersby, and an old man who's had too much to drink bragging.

This environment...this atmosphere, is something she has rarely experienced before.

It's not that she thinks she's superior or detached from worldly affairs, but... even when it comes to eating barbecue, she'll look for a larger, more upscale restaurant.

They just sat right on the sidewalk...that's incredible.

"Don't let its simplicity fool you, the taste is quite good. Just eat it, and you won't make a sound."

Seeing that Feng Shayan was still a little hesitant, Zhou Fengliu ordered his favorite dishes from the owner.

"Oh, and another case of ice-cold beer, please."

"okay..."

The owner grilled the skewers very quickly; in no time, he brought out the grilled skewers along with a case of ice-cold beer.

Zhou Fengliu skillfully picked up a bottle of beer, opened the cap with his teeth, and handed it to Feng Shayan.

"It's quite cold, have some."

"Okay." Feng Shayan took it and placed it on the table, making no move to use her chopsticks.

"Let's get started." Zhou Fengliu picked up a skewer of lamb and started eating. Seeing that Feng Shayan was still acting coy, he silently picked up an ice-cold beer and gestured for a toast.

"Nobody's paying attention to you here. You can drink and eat as you please. Do you think you'll run into anyone from the World Society here?"

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's words, Feng Shayan felt that they made sense, and then picked up the wine bottle and chugged down several mouthfuls.

...

Zhou Fengliu didn't know much about Feng Shayan. He hadn't paid much attention to her when reading the original novel. At first, he thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family. But after a few drinks, his opinion of Feng Shayan completely changed.

Is this supposed to be a lady from a respectable family?

When it comes to bragging, she's just as good as him, calling him "old lady" all the time, grabbing a skewer of meat and eating it, and later even starting to play drinking games with him, acting like a seasoned pro.

"It's your turn to drink... don't keep the fish in it."

"Weren't you drinking quite a lot just now?"

"Boss, bring me another order, some peanuts and edamame to go with your drinks."

This time, Zhou Fengliu truly experienced Feng Shayan's forthright and bold spirit. To be honest, he could genuinely consider her a friend and get along very comfortably with her in this state.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu and Feng Shayan were sitting on the roadside drinking and chatting without any regard for their image, Feng Shayan's younger brother, the white-haired boy Feng Xingtong, happened to pass by in a car.

"Uncle Fu, stop for a moment." Feng Xingtong called out to the driver who was driving, and then looked out the rear window towards the roadside.

"It really does seem to be my sister... Wait, why does the person next to her look so familiar?"

Feng Xingtong looked at Zhou Fengliu's face and felt it looked increasingly familiar. Then he suddenly remembered that his father, Feng Zhenghao, had shown them a surveillance video a couple of days ago...

It seems the man fighting the artifact master from the west is the one standing before us...

Chapter 33 Xia He: My Home Was Raided? (First Update)

what do you say that is?

Zhou... Zhou the womanizer?

Correct.

Seems to be.

Feng Xingtong watched his older sister having dinner with Zhou Fengliu. He stroked his chin, feeling that there must be some juicy gossip going on.

"Young Master, should I find a place to park?" Uncle Fu asked. Their car was parked on the road, which was too conspicuous.

"No need, drive away first..." Feng Xingtong only took a picture and didn't get out of the car to ruin his older sister's good time.

...

As night deepened, Xia He sped along on her motorcycle, arriving at Zhou Fengliu's building in no time. Taking off her helmet, she first took out her phone to check her WeChat, but there was still no reply from Zhou Fengliu.

"You're not replying to my messages again... I'd like to see what you're up to." Xia He said that Zhou Fengliu hadn't replied to her messages for several days since he sent her a 6.

Today she deliberately chose a late time, determined to get into Zhou Fengliu's bed and properly question him about why he didn't reply to her messages.

Seeing her confidently go upstairs, skillfully pry open the door and sneak into Zhou Fengliu's house, she carefully closed the door. Seeing that the room was pitch black, she figured Zhou Fengliu must be asleep, so she tiptoed towards the bedroom.

As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she found that there was no one on the bed.

Seeing this, she turned on the bedroom light.

"What about people?"

Xia He frowned. She glanced around the room and felt that it seemed a little too clean. She then opened the wardrobe and found that Zhou Fengliu's clothes were also gone.

"?"

Suddenly, an idea unconsciously popped into her mind.

This guy wouldn't really...

Xia He carefully searched the room and found that all of Zhou Fengliu's belongings had disappeared, leaving only broken furniture.

"You really moved!"

Xia He was furious.

She never expected that Zhou Fengliu would keep his word and actually disappear from her life.

Okay, okay...

This is even more heartless than what she did back then!

You philanderer Zhou Fengliu... you've become so brave now...

Xia He took out her phone and first sent a message to Zhou Fengliu.

[The once vibrant seedlings are now in decline]; Where are you? You really moved? Fine, fine, you're really not human anymore? You're not even giving me a chance?

【The Flourishing Seedlings】: Not saying anything?

Unable to type, Xia He made several more calls to Zhou Fengliu, only to find that she had been blocked by him at some point. She then called him from a different phone number.
