Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

The next night.

Shen Xi finished his work and stood there waiting for Mu Feng as usual, but after waiting for a long time there was no sign of him.

Just as he was about to leave, a steady sound of footsteps came slowly. Shen Xi looked over and saw Mu Feng walking towards him with a calm pace. He was wearing an elegant robe, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree. Under the moonlight, he exuded a cool and noble temperament.

Mu Feng approached step by step.

When he walked not far from Shen Xi, Mu Feng stopped and looked at Shen Xi quietly. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.

"Why did the high priest go back so late today?"

Although there was concern in his words, there was also a hidden tone of expectation.

"I just went to the main hall to do some work. Why haven't you gone back yet?"

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Shen Xi's eyes.

"I...want to get some fresh air outside. The room is a bit stuffy..."

Mu Feng's intuition told him that Shen Xi definitely didn't want to go back home just because he felt stuffy in the room, but he didn't think too much about it.

"Is it tiring to work here?"

Seeing that no one was saying anything, Mu Feng took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.

"A little bit, but I think I'm lucky."

Shen Xi looked at Mu Feng with a loving look, but Mu Feng was a blockhead and did not understand the ambiguity in his eyes.

"You can go back after a few more years, to the human world to find your parents. Your life will be much easier in the future."

"I don't have any parents..."

Shen Xi sat on a stone chair nearby, the love in his eyes gradually turning into loneliness.

Mu Feng was slightly startled, and looking at Shen Xi's lonely expression, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He walked to Shen Xi and sat down gently.

"Sorry, I didn't know... It must have been very difficult for you over the years." Mu Feng's voice was gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing Shen Xi's sadness.

Shen Xi smiled bitterly, "It's all in the past, it's nothing. I just feel a little lonely sometimes."

The moonlight shone on the two of them. In the quiet atmosphere, Mu Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "In the future, if you feel lonely, you can come and talk to me."

Shen Xi's heart moved, and he turned to look at Mu Feng, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Really? I hope the high priest doesn't find me annoying."

Mu Feng shook his head slightly, "No, it's a pleasure to talk to you. And you don't have to call me High Priest in the future. These are the titles that outsiders call me. If you don't mind, just call me by my name."

A pleasantly surprised smile appeared on Shen Xi's face. "Okay, then I will call you Mu Feng from now on."

He took off the jade pendant from his waist, held it in his hand and slowly handed it to him.

"This is what my mother gave me before she passed away. With it by my side every day, I don't feel lonely."

Mu Feng looked at the jade pendant in Shen Xi's hand, which radiated a warm luster under the moonlight. He was slightly moved, and he reached out to gently take the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

"This jade pendant is very exquisite. I believe your mother must cherish you very much, so she left it to you." Mu Feng said softly.

Shen Xi's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, "Yes, this is the only thought my mother left me."

The two chatted for a while under the moonlight, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Shen Xi felt that the distance between him and Mu Feng had been shortened without him noticing.

However, good times are always short-lived. After a while, it was late at night, and Mu Feng stood up, "Shen Xi, it's late today, let's talk another day, and you should go back and rest early."

Shen Xi nodded, with reluctance in his eyes, "Okay, then I'll leave first."

Shen Xi slowly turned around and walked towards his residence step by step. The moonlight shone on his body, casting a long shadow.

His steps were somewhat heavy, and his heart was filled with reluctance to part. From time to time, he looked back in the direction of Mu Feng, but could only see a hazy night.

Mu Feng stood there, quietly watching Shen Xi's back. Shen Xi's figure gradually went away in the moonlight, and the lonely figure made Mu Feng feel an inexplicable pity in his heart. It was not until Shen Xi's back completely disappeared in the night that Mu Feng slowly withdrew his gaze. Just as he was about to leave, he found that the jade pendant had fallen to the ground.

Mu Feng bent down to pick up the jade pendant, which was warm to the touch. He looked at the direction where Shen Xi left, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"It must be that he accidentally left it here when he took off the jade pendant to show me. He treasures this jade pendant so much. If he found that it was missing..."

Shen Xi's aggrieved expression unconsciously emerged in his mind. Without any hesitation, he picked up the jade pendant on the ground and walked towards Shen Xi's direction of departure.

For some reason, I didn't want to see any unhappy expression on Shen Xi's face again.

At this moment, Shen Xi was returning to the yard leisurely.

"Brother, you didn't seem so happy when I saw you guys chatting so late a few days ago. Why are you so happy today?"

'Of course I am happy, he will come to see me soon.'

Wangcai was a little confused, with his little head drooping.

"But it's only 30% favorable, and the target person in this world is like a piece of wood. Why would he take the initiative to come to you, brother?"

"I just left the white jade pendant I exchanged in the mall on the stool I was sitting on. I just told him how much I value this jade pendant, and he will definitely give it to me."

"Brother, are you so sure?"

'Of course, I know him.'

The two have been close friends for thousands of years. If knowing both oneself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle, then Shen Xi and he will never be rivals in this life.

It is useless to compete in a game where there is no clear winner.

'Besides, I was so angry with Su Ruifeng a few days ago that he would definitely not let me go tonight. When he was scolding me and annoying me, Mu Feng suddenly opened the door. If I shed a few more tears of grievance, wouldn't it be natural for me to go to the yard where he was? '

After listening to this, Wangcai could only give a thumbs up.

"Brother still has a way."

When I opened the door, the yard was quiet.

But when Shen Xi returned to the room, he found Su Ruifeng and everyone else in the yard were all standing in their room.

The room had already been destroyed by them.

Shen Xi looked coldly at the dirty and messy room.

"What do you mean?"

Su Ruifeng looked at Shen Xi with a provocative smile on his face. "It's nothing, I just don't like you." Others also echoed Su Ruifeng, their faces full of gloating.

Shen Xi was filled with anger, but he knew he couldn't act rashly. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "You guys are going too far."

Su Ruifeng disagreed, "Too much? What can you do to me? Don't forget, I'm the boss here."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
