I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 305: Chapter 266: Five Stars? (4300 words)_2

But the nearby residents remained unaware, simply thinking that the place had good feng shui and the strangenesses could not invade here.

Yan Junze was very fatigued. After checking into a hotel, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until noon before waking up, roused by his hunger.

Upon awakening, Yan Junze felt incredibly thirsty. He guzzled down a large pot of water and then took a hot shower, which made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

It was only when he came out to change into clean clothes that Yan Junze realized Zhang Xiaomo’s thoughtfulness. The clothes she provided the night before were not new, but they were exceptionally clean, and the undergarments, including men’s boxer shorts, were all brand new.

As he continued to be impressed by Zhang Xiaomo’s attentiveness, Yan Junze nodded, but a strange expression slowly emerged on his face.

After a long while, he muttered to himself, “How does she have men’s underwear?”

“Zhang… Xia…omo!” A short-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips, staring down at Zhang Xiaomo, who had just returned from washing up.

Zhang Xiaomo paused, then put down her washbasin and cup, showing a smile.

“Where are the undergarments I bought for my boyfriend last week?” the short-haired girl demanded.

Zhang Xiaomo shrugged, “How much? I’ll pay you the original price, no, let’s make it ten percent more.”

“You, a woman, taking men’s clothes for…”

Before the short-haired girl could finish, another long-haired girl interrupted, “What do you know? Last night, some strange guy came back with Xiaomo and them, and Xiaomo immediately found the underwear you bought for your boyfriend and offered it up like a borrowed gift, hahaha…”

The short-haired girl glowered at Zhang Xiaomo.

Zhang Xiaomo was caught between laughter and tears, “The clothes have already been given away and can’t be taken back. I’ve even offered you a ten percent premium, isn’t that enough? Or should I buy you a new set?”

“Of course not, at least twenty percent,” said the short-haired girl.

Just then, Zhang Xiaomo’s phone rang. She checked the number; it was a call from the Exorcist team captain, Huo Zhisen.

As soon as she answered the call, Zhang Xiaomo paused, then replied with a “Yes” and followed with several “Yes,” hardly getting a chance to speak.

After hanging up, she immediately dialed Yan Junze, “Junze, are you up yet?”

“I’m up. I was about to go out to eat. Do you want to join?” Yan Junze replied.

As the two spoke, the two women beside Zhang Xiaomo exchanged glances, sneaking up close to eavesdrop.

“That’s the guy who wore your underwear,” the long-haired woman whispered.

The short-haired girl cursed with a laugh, “Like you could ever spit anything but nonsense from that dog mouth of yours, it wasn’t mine, it was bought for my boyfriend.”

“It’s all the same,” the long-haired woman said, engrossed in listening, not minding the misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaomo was telling Yan Junze, “The captain just told me that they have verified your performance in Mo Family Village and have already deposited your payment into your designated bank account this morning.”

“That efficient?” Yan Junze was surprised.

“Yeah,” Zhang Xiaomo nodded, “The captain says you can apply to become an official Exorcist now, but you have to undergo a one-month intensive training, including Magnetic Knife Combat Technique, physical training, and usage of strangeness magnetic fields, among other things.”

“This… I don’t want to do it for the time being,” Yan Junze rejected immediately.

Zhang Xiaomo seemed to have anticipated his decision and showed no surprise, continuing, “That’s okay, it’s up to you.”

“How was Old Guo last night?” Yan Junze asked.

“They say the soul resurrection was successful,” Zhang Xiaomo said, “That place is strictly confidential. I can’t go down there, but Uncle Guo still needs to undergo an adaptive process. The headquarters said, since the Ancient Corpse is inherently cold, Uncle Guo will need to do a lot of physical adaptation training.”

“I think if Old Guo pulls through this time, he’s definitely going to be a five-star Exorcist,” Yan Junze laughed.

“Let’s hope so,” Zhang Xiaomo rarely showed a smile.

“Come out to eat, I’ll wait for you,” Yan Junze said.

The two women continued to “eavesdrop” brazenly as the two talked.

The short-haired girl, distracted by the underwear she bought for her boyfriend, was somewhat absent-minded, but the long-haired girl listened attentively, reveling in the gossip.

She was very close to Zhang Xiaomo, almost leaning on her back.

That was when the long-haired girl noticed something moving on Zhang Xiaomo’s back, moving so fast it seemed like hair.

She was slightly startled, lifted her head, and moved a bit away from Zhang Xiaomo so she could see more clearly.

Looking again at Zhang Xiaomo’s back, her hair was not tied up but hung loosely behind her shoulders. The long-haired girl inspected carefully but saw no irregularities.

She rubbed her eyes and reached out to smooth the hair on Zhang Xiaomo’s shoulder, quickly convincing herself it was a trick of the eye.@@novelbin@@

“Your hair quality is really good,” the long-haired girl complimented.

Zhang Xiaomo had just hung up the phone, replied, and after changing into a new outfit, she stepped out.

Yan Junze and she ordered two bowls of wontons at a wonton shop, eating while discussing their experiences in Mo Family Village.

Through Zhang Xiaomo, he learned that Xiaomo had been an orphan since childhood. The orphanage where she grew up was not called Start Point but Holy Light Orphanage, founded by a priest from Great Capital in the USA.

At the age of thirteen, Zhang Xiaomo was adopted by her current teachers, both university professors who treated her as their own daughter and raised her with great care.
