Chapter 23 [Please Add to Favorites]

Lin Leyou thought a lot, but he didn't regret it. Perhaps it was because he subconsciously felt that there would be no problem doing this, and even subconsciously he didn't feel any sense of crisis.

When Xue Rui finished treating his wounds and came out of the bathroom, it was already past 10:30, and there was no other movement.

Lin Leyou peered out through the gap in the bed curtains, but it was pitch black outside and she couldn't see anything.

After Xue Rui came out, he sat on the edge of the bed. Lin Leyou looked over and said, "Alright, get some rest."

"Okay, thank you boss, I..."

Lin Leyou waved his hand, "You sleep inside."

Xue Rui obediently moved inside. Lin Leyou looked at him and thought to himself, "I didn't expect the boss to be so handsome when he was young. This face... I can never get tired of looking at it."

Xue Rui noticed his somewhat direct gaze. "Boss?"

Lin Leyou said, "Okay, go to sleep. The new blanket is yours."

After the two lay down, Lin Leyou turned off the light. They lay silently on the bed, neither of them sleepy. Xue Rui was not used to it and was also wary. After all, the person lying next to him was an NPC from the dungeon, and he was not sure if he would be killed after he fell asleep.

Lin Leyou, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind. After all, he had lived in the dormitory for decades. In fact, he was worried that taking in Xue Rui would be against the rules, and that villagers might break in and kill them after he fell asleep.

As a result, the two of them were in a daze all night and dared not fall asleep. They only breathed a sigh of relief when there was light outside. Lin Leyou checked the time and it was only a little past five o'clock. The shop would open at ten o'clock, so he could still sleep for a few more hours.

Lin Leyou set an alarm for 9:40, then ignored it and fell asleep instantly.

Xue Rui slowly sat up, looking at the shop owner sleeping soundly beside him. He felt quite conflicted, and touched his eyes, which were a little sore.

After hesitating for a while, he lay back down on the bed and fell asleep within two minutes.

They both slept until the alarm clock rang.

Although she didn't sleep well last night, she still managed to get more than four hours of sleep, and Lin Leyou felt quite refreshed when she woke up.

After washing up, Lin Leyou realized she didn't have time to make breakfast. Feeling a little annoyed, she opened the shop immediately, thinking she couldn't be lazy.

Xue Rui glanced at Lin Leyou, who was sitting listlessly minding the shop, and then looked at the kitchen. "Boss, if you don't mind, I'll make some breakfast?"

Lin Leyou glanced at it, "You can cook?"

Xue Rui, "knows some simple things."

Lin Leyou said, "Then you can cook it. As long as it's edible."

Xue Rui didn't stand on ceremony; when making breakfast, he naturally made one for himself as well.

About half an hour later, Xue Rui placed a breakfast in front of him. Lin Leyou saw that there were two fried eggs, a steak, and two pure meat sausages on the plate, followed by a cup of warm milk.

He knew the steak and sausages were in the freezer, but he was too lazy to prepare them. After all, there would be something delicious to eat in the evening, so he could just have a simple breakfast and lunch.

"It's delicious! The cooking is excellent."

Xue Rui smiled and then handed Lin Leyou three thousand yuan. "This is my rent and the cost of breakfast and lunch for the next few days. I'll be in charge of cooking."

Lin Leyou accepted the money in a good mood, "Okay, no problem."

Xue Rui: "Thank you, boss."

Lin Leyou glanced at his waist. "Is the wound alright? Remember to change the dressing later."

Xue Rui: "It's just a scratch on the skin, nothing serious, boss, don't worry."

Lin Leyou: "Okay."

He continued eating his breakfast, and to his surprise, the steak was really well-cooked. Although it was his first time eating steak, he could definitely say it was delicious.

As expected of a young master from a wealthy family, his steak-making skills are truly excellent; he clearly excels at Western cuisine.

It's already past ten o'clock, so we don't need to eat too much. This is enough. We can have lunch in two or three hours.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Leyou was no longer listless. She seemed to be in a good mood, reading a book with her legs crossed and a smile on her lips.

Xue Rui blinked after seeing this. Sure enough, the reason he looked so listless earlier was because he didn't have time to eat breakfast. And the reason he didn't eat breakfast wasn't because he didn't want to, but because it was time.

The convenience store opens at 10:00 AM.

Xue Rui: "Boss, I'm going out for a bit."

After cleaning up the kitchen, he planned to visit a farmhouse restaurant.

Lin Leyou said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Xue Rui strode towards the farmhouse, and from afar he saw the still-alive people gathered around a guest room. This was the guest room that Wu Yin had stolen the night before while he was away.

Wang Wen was somewhat surprised to see him. "Huh, you're still alive?"

Everyone turned around after hearing Wang Wen's surprised voice, and they were all surprised to see Xue Rui.

Xue Rui, "What's wrong?"

Wang Wen pointed ahead, "See for yourself."

Xue Rui had already noticed that the guest room he and Liu Lili had stayed in had collapsed, and through some gaps, he could see the mangled flesh and blood inside.

Fresh blood seeped out through some cracks, forming a small pool of blood on the ground.

Wang Wen, "When I woke up this morning, I found that the guest room had collapsed, and after carefully counting, I found that four people were missing. I didn't expect to see you when I turned around. You didn't stay here yesterday?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the other guest room where four people had died. The door was half open, and you could see the mangled flesh and blackened bloodstains inside.

Was Xue Rui kicked out by Wu Yin last night and is staying there?

Xue Rui thought for a moment but did not explain his situation.

"Wu Yin and the other two are dead?"

Wang Wen: "It should be that you appeared, but the other three didn't. They must have died in the house. We don't know if they were killed or crushed by the collapsed house."

Xue Rui, however, believed they were murdered; three people had slept in the guest room that night…

But you can't say it out loud.

"It seems that from now on, I should leave the room around 10 am, otherwise I'll be fine at night, but I might get crushed by the collapsed house during the day."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback; it was indeed true.

It seems that from now on, they will have to leave their guest rooms early during the day, and they can only return to their own guest rooms after one of their guest rooms has collapsed.

Wang Wen patted Xue Rui on the shoulder, "It's good that you're alright. So where are you staying tonight?"

His gaze then turned to the guest room where four people had died yesterday. They had all heard Wu Yin knocking on the door last night, asking Liu Lili to open it.

So Xue Rui must be staying in the guest room that Wu Yin disliked, and tonight is no exception...

No one expected that Xue Rui would actually stay at the NPC's house; they all thought that Xue Rui had left the guest room early and gone out to hide.
