Yokai Office

After hearing An Yin's proposal, Shen Xi subconsciously glanced at Zong Ci.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and both of them moved their eyes a little unnaturally.

Shen Xi pursed her lips and did not answer for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent, An Yin asked again, "Xiaoxi? What's wrong with you? What should I ask you?"

"Ah? Oh..." Shen Xi shifted his gaze guiltily.

If he hadn't met Zong Ci, Shen Xi might have happily accepted An Yin's proposal.He is used to being alone, so if he could have someone to accompany him, he would be very happy.

It's a pity that now his eyes and heart are full of Zongci.

The Monster Bureau will arrange accommodation for the employees. As long as Shen Xi is willing, he can move out once the internship period is passed.

But he has been reluctant to bring up this matter. In fact, his selfish desire is to stay by Zong Ci's side.

"Xiaoxi?" An Yin frowned seeing that he hadn't spoken.

"Brother An, let's talk about it later. It will take you a while to find a house..." Shen Xi said vaguely.

I am afraid that if this topic continues, it will arouse Zong Ci's vigilance.

After all, at the beginning, he was the one who put on a face and lived in the other party's house.

Zong Ci frowned imperceptibly when he heard the words.He glanced at Shen Xi, suddenly he was not sure what the other party was thinking.

This answer... Do you want to move out, or do you not want to move out?

Coincidentally, Yu Ruyi stepped forward, put her arms around Shen Xi's shoulders, and joked, "Xi Xi, I still like your cubicle, or...then I will be one more?"

"...Sister Ruyi." Shen Xi choked, "You're a girl, isn't it convenient?"

"What's the inconvenience? Could it be that you thought you could take advantage of me?" Yu Ruyi stroked her hair and said very chicly.

"What's the matter? Xiaoxi hasn't arranged accommodation for the staff yet?" Fenghuang also interjected after hearing this.

"Uh, um." Shen Xi said truthfully, "Because I haven't passed the employee internship period, the bureau can't allocate accommodation for me yet. The house price in Nilong District is too high, and I don't have any extra savings yet."

When it comes to deposits, Shen Xi feels a little embarrassed.

Shen Xi was born three years ago, and actually saved a small sum of money.As a result, a year ago, I learned how to invest in others, and I didn't lose any money.

He regarded this matter as black history, so he kept it a secret and no one revealed it.

"So that's how it is..." Fenghuang nodded thoughtfully, then waved his hand, "Well, I'll ask someone to arrange it for you and assign you a staff room in advance."

Shen Xi was startled, feeling inexplicably worried.

What's the matter with these people?Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

He doesn't want to move out at all!

Shen Xi glanced at Zong Ci, thinking whether to tell the truth.

As a result, the other party lowered his eyes and remained silent, making it difficult for people to see his expression at the moment.

——No, no, no, to put it too bluntly, what if Zong Dui finds out his little thoughts?

Three people gathered around him to ask questions, but Shen Xi couldn't escape, and was so worried that he wanted to wag his tail.

As a result, Zong Ci left suddenly and strode out.

The cold aura emanating from the whole body made everyone aware of it.

"My child, what's going on today? Are you in a bad mood?" Bi Fang couldn't help asking.

Phoenix shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

Seeing this, Shen Xi immediately seized the opportunity to run away, "Team Zong wait for me! See you two seniors, Sister Ruyi, Brother An!"

After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he slipped away in an instant.

***

Shen Xi sat back on the private suspension car, Zong Ci's face was still tense.

"Team Zong, what's wrong with you?" Shen Xi worried.

Zong Ci looked sideways at him, seeing his eyes filled with uncontrollable worry, he was slightly startled.He eased his expression, "I'm fine."

Shen Xi frowned, and stretched out his hand directly to his forehead, "Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Zong Ci smiled helplessly, only feeling that the displeasure just now disappeared without a trace.

He instinctively held Shen Xi's hand, and they touched each other, making both of them startled.

"Stupid." Zong Ci let go of his hand and said, "I'm a monster, can I get sick?"

"Oh, that's right." Thinking of this, Shen Xi also felt that his worry was a bit unnecessary, and scratched his head embarrassingly, "Team Zong..."

Zong Ci set the car to the destination, "Huh?"

"I don't want to move out yet." Shen Xi said this carefully.

Zong Ci did not expect that Shen Xi would take the initiative to bring up this topic, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "Why?"

Shen Xi was not sure what Zong Ci meant, so he shrank back for a moment.He moved his gaze out of the window, and hesitantly found a poor wording, "...you can learn something by following you."

Zong Ci stared at his side face for a while.

For some reason, there was a smile in his eyes, and he answered Shen Xi's previous words in a soft voice.

"I didn't kick you out either."

Shen Xi felt worried and tense, and immediately turned his gaze back with a smile, "Thank you Zong team!"

"Ah."

Shen Xi laughed twice to himself.

"Team Zong, shall we go out to eat today? There is a new hot pot restaurant near where we live! I want to eat!"

Shen Xi's request to Zong Ci is [-] out of [-] about 'eating'.

"Team Zong..." Shen Xi persisted, "If you don't want to eat, it's good to watch me eat. I feel very pitiful when I think about eating hot pot by myself."

If you don't eat, watch me eat?

Can you say this so righteously?

Zong Ci completely convinced the people around him, "Okay, change the target location yourself. I'll squint for a while, and call me when I arrive."

"it is good!"

Even if he didn't look at it, Zong Ci could still think of the other party's happy look at the moment.He tilted his head, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.He pulled down the side compartment and went to rest.

***

As soon as the new year is over, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, all members of the Monster Bureau prepare a New Year's Eve banquet before going to work.

It was the first time for Shen Xi to participate in such a banquet, and he was very excited.

For the sake of all employees, the bureau specially approved vegetarian food.After all, there are many members of the Monster Bureau, if meat dishes are served, it will inevitably violate the taboo of some employees.

After a full meal, everyone inevitably entertained with some entertainment.

Zong Ci still sat on one side indifferently, not smiling.

Anyway, he has always been like this in front of everyone.Shen Xi rolled his eyeballs, and then saw An Yin opposite.The other party seemed to notice his gaze and smiled back.

Shen Xi seemed to have remembered something, and made a running movement with his hand.

The other party understood what he meant and nodded.The two walked in a certain direction one after the other.

In fact, Zong Ci had noticed this scene from the very beginning, seeing the two sneaking into a small cubicle, his face changed.At just the right time, Fu Chenglin came over and took Zong Ci to drink.

Fu Shenglin came here on behalf of the human side this time.

"What's wrong with you? Are you absent-minded?" Fu Chenglin sensed something was wrong with Zong Ci.

Zong Ci glanced at the small cubicle not far away, and retracted, "It's okay."

Fu Chenglin always felt strange, but he couldn't figure out why, so he had to give up.

***

Inside the cubicle.

"What's the matter? Do you have something to whisper to me in private?" An Yin laughed.

Shen Xi hesitated, seeming a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's just the two of us, there's no need to be embarrassed."

"Brother An, I..." Shen Xi opened his mouth nervously, but stopped.He paused for a few seconds, and finally raised his head and said a few words next to An Yin's ear.

An Yin's smile paused, and the door of the cubicle suddenly opened.

Shen Xi was startled, and the two of them looked out the door in unison.

Zong Ci stood expressionlessly at the door, watching the two of them fight to the death.

"Zong, Team Zong!" Shen Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew, keeping a distance from An Yin.

He was flustered, his ears were flushed, and even his cheeks were abnormally flushed.

What did you do?Why are you afraid of being discovered by me?

Thoughts inexplicably flashed across Zong Ci's mind, and he felt a little sour in his heart.However, he restrained his expression and said, "Sorry for the interruption, you continue."

After all, close the door.

With lingering fear in his heart, Shen Xi looked at the closed door, and then at An Yin.

An Yin understood it clearly, and sighed softly, "Xiaoxi, I think what you said is very simple."

"……Simple?"

An Yin smiled gently, "Yeah."

***

Fu Chenglin was still sitting at the banquet drinking, seeing Zong Ci walking back with a chill all over.

"What? Didn't you say something happened? Are you back so soon?"

"It's all right, there's nothing wrong with it." Zong Ci looked at the wine on the table, picked it up and took a sip.

"Hey! Aren't you a non-drinker?" Fu Chenglin was shocked.

Stimulated by the drunkenness, Zong Ci finally calmed down a little.From the corner of his eye, he explored the far cubicle again.

Not out yet?

well.

"Old Fu." Zong Ci opened his mouth.

"Huh?" Fu Chenglin heard what he said, and responded, "Why?"

Zong Ci recalled what Shen Xi said not long ago, and asked, "Am I very old?"

It's just that there is a bit of depression in this tone for no reason.

Fu Chenglin seemed to have discovered a new continent, he smiled and joked, "You still don't know if you're old or not?"

Zong Ci instantly scratched his eye.

"Okay, okay, no kidding. You are very young, at least your current appearance." Fu Shenglin changed his strategy and praised decisively, "You don't know that many girls in our inspectorate like you."

Zong Ci remained silent.

"By the way, what is the identity of the new therapist in your Monster Bureau? He looks quite refined."

Which pot does not open which pot.

"Fu Ju." Zong Ci suddenly turned cold and called for the position.

Fu Shenglin was dumbfounded.In a blink of an eye, Zong Ci used his spiritual power to bring over a large bottle of liquor from a distance, "Huh?"

"Drink, just shut up."

Today's Zongci is not right.

Fu Chenglin finally realized this, so he shifted his position very self-consciously, and went to find someone else to drink.

After Fu Sheng was about to leave, Zong Ci shifted his gaze to the cubicle again.

The door is still closed.

Obviously An Yin is still older than him, but in Shen Xi's eyes——

He is the old monster, and An Yin is Brother An?

Zong Ci snorted softly, his thin lips moved slightly, and spit out two words in displeasure, "Double standard."
