Chapter 16: Rub your head, he’s not a doll!

He Yan still suspected that he and Zhu Shengting were born incompatible, otherwise why would he always embarrass himself in front of him.

Now, he was in such a daze that he didn't know what day it was, but now it was like a basin of water was poured on him, and he couldn't be more awake.

"I'm awake..." He Yan said with a sleepy face, but didn't hang up the video call. "Please wait for five minutes. It will be quick."

Zhu Shengting nodded on the screen, "It's okay, take your time."

After saying that, Zhu Shengting hung up the video.

He Yan got up, put on the casual clothes he had prepared yesterday, and hurried to wash up.

Five minutes later, he finished washing up and walked to the door to open it.

"I don't know what you like for breakfast, so I brought you some." Zhu Shengting handed the breakfast bag in his left hand to He Yan and changed his shoes at the door. "Eat whatever you like."

He Yan took it in a daze, and took a while to react before saying "thank you".

"Have you eaten?" He Yan felt that his question was unnecessary.

"Yeah, I've eaten." Zhu Shengting put the small camera he brought aside and sat on the sofa after that.

He Yan glanced at the soy milk and fried dough sticks in the bag, turned around and wanted to tell the other party how much money he wanted to transfer, but then he thought, wouldn’t that seem too unfamiliar?

After all, the two of them have a business relationship.

Thinking of this, He Yan changed his words, "I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow too."

Zhu Shengting stared at his phone without looking up. "Okay, thank you."

He Yan sat at the dining table and started eating. He had originally planned to just have some bread and milk in the morning, but he didn't expect Zhu Shengting to bring him breakfast.

He ate while thinking about the incredibleness of this matter.

It turns out that relationships can really be turned around through human efforts... How can it not be considered as human effort?

However, after the banquet, he found that he seemed to be too relaxed and had not even thought about what Zhu Shengting was doing with him in his house.

Are they really just doing their own thing?

If you think about it carefully, it's just talk. After all, they both need to record the video, and it would be difficult to report if they just do their own things.

He Yan glanced at the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning. He drank some soy milk and sighed to himself. He had never felt that a day was so long.

Out of a somewhat escapist mentality, he took half an hour to eat breakfast, successfully shortening his day by half an hour.

But it would be impolite to continue wasting time, so He Yan packed up the remaining things and walked to the side of Zhu Shengting.

"How about we... play games?" He Yan thought for a long time and came up with this idea.

Zhu Shengting raised his head. "Anything is fine. What game?"

"Uh—" He Yan scratched his head.

Five minutes later, the two people who had set up the camera sat side by side on the sofa cushions in the living room, and the 7k7k mini-game was displayed on the TV screen.

Zhu Shengting looked at the ancient interface and felt like he was rejuvenated.

"Which one do you want to play?" He Yan gave the other party the right to choose.

Zhu Shengting swiped the interface twice and clicked on the two-player game column. "Forest Ice and Fire Man?"

"Okay," He Yan nodded directly, "Then you be the Fire Child and I'll be the Water Child."

"OK." Zhu Shengting sat up straighter.

The two of them chose the most basic version of the game, which required concerted efforts, but it was obvious...

"Dude, go down there! The button is right there!" He Yan was convinced. He hadn't expected Zhu Shengting to not even know how to play Forest Fireman! He resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Zhu Shengting's helpless voice came from beside him, "I've already gone down, the door can't be opened."

"Hey, buddy, is there a possibility that you have to push that button before the door can be opened?" He Yan suddenly felt that Zhu Shengting was an idiot.

Zhu Shengting pressed the button and the door finally opened. "Okay."

He Yan followed tiredly and entered the next level.

"From now on, you must hit wherever I point you, OK?" He directly issued an imperial decree, not allowing Zhu Shengting to act rashly.

"Okay." Zhu Shengting was obedient.

"OK, first go up and kick the stool down, then follow the blower device up and press the switch." He Yan was concentrating on playing.

Zhu Shengting listened carefully. With the lessons learned from the past, things went much more smoothly and he quickly completed what He Yan had said.

Seeing how quickly Zhu Shengting finished this time, He Yan released his right hand, patted Zhu Shengting on the shoulder, smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's it! All right, all right!"

In less than three seconds, He Yan withdrew his hand and concentrated on playing the game.

Zhu Shengting glanced at the shoulder where He Yan's hand had just passed, shrugged slightly, and looked up at the TV screen.

Before they knew it, the two of them had been playing Forest Fire and Ice for two hours. Later on, they had developed some tacit understanding and were not as flustered as they were at the beginning.

"Okay, let's change the game, shall we?" He Yan exited the Ice and Fire Man interface. "How about playing... Rubber Hall?"

"Okay." Zhu Shengting didn't care. He had never played it before anyway.

"Hmm...wait a minute." He Yan hesitated again.

He recalled that Zhu Shengting had just started out as fierce as a tiger, but ended up with a stupid output. He didn't want to be a kindergarten teacher in the 7k7k game again.

"What games did you play most in the past?" He Yan stopped sliding the selection button.

Hearing this, Zhu Shengting tilted his head back and recalled, "When I was little, my family wasn't well off and we didn't have a computer, so I never got to play with these."

He Yan, who was leisurely waiting for the answer and preparing to choose a new game, suddenly didn't know how to react.

Then he just kept anxiously calling the other party stupid and unskilled, which was too much...

He Yan took it for granted that everyone had played this kind of game in their childhood.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, but Zhu Shengting smiled again, "But I can also play other games?"

He Yan quickly followed up, "For example?"

Zhu Shengting smiled happily, his expression as if he was reminiscing, "Like playing hide-and-seek."

"How about we play hide and seek? Is that okay?"

He Yan actually saw some pleading in Zhu Shengting's eyes just now. He assured himself that he was not being self-indulgent, so he agreed almost immediately.

"Okay, how do we set the rules?"

Zhu Shengting thought for a moment and put down the game controller. "You hide and I catch you. I like to be the one to catch you."

It just so happened that He Yan himself preferred hiding, so he readily agreed, "Okay."

"Hide for one minute, catch for five minutes. If I don't find you within five minutes, I lose and can accept any punishment you say. The same goes for the other side. You can't go to the toilet, but can I enter your room?" Zhu Shengting asked.

He Yan's room had already been cleaned by him, so there was nothing shameful to see. "Okay, then we can only hide in the living room, study, or bedroom?"

"Well, but I only brought one camera." Zhu Shengting pointed to the camera in the living room that was working and recording their every move.

"It doesn't matter. There's still a lot of time left. We can just play until lunch time." He Yan waved his hand.

He hadn't played this game for a long time and was a little impatient. He suddenly felt a sense of freshness, probably because the players were different.

"Okay, then I'll start the timer on my phone," Zhu Shengting turned his back and closed his eyes, "Let's start."

He Yan first walked over quietly and took a look to make sure Zhu Shengting's eyes were closed. He tiptoed into the storage room without even wearing shoes, for fear of making any noise.

However, since this is his own home and he knows it best, this game is more favorable to him. He just needs to ensure that he is not found within five minutes.

The storage room was in the most remote place. He gently opened the door and buried himself in the box containing dozens of Lazy Sheep dolls.

"Time's up."

When He Yan heard Zhu Shengting's report, he swallowed nervously.

Zhu Shengting's footsteps were also very light. He Yan buried himself in the doll and could not hear the other person's movements.

But this is actually safer, and Zhu Shengting will probably go to his room first to look for it.

After a few minutes, He Yan felt a little stuffy. Although this place was secluded, it made him feel a little breathless.

"It's almost time, isn't it?" He Yan muttered to himself. He couldn't help but shook his head, causing the dolls in the box to rub against each other.

“Crack—”

There was a slight sound of a door opening, and He Yan didn't dare to move.

His heart began to pound because his box was right next to the door.

He Yan had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt like he was about to be found...

The next second, he felt that his breathing was not so rapid, and the faint darkness in front of his eyes was no longer there.

"I found you."

He Yan wanted to force it again, but he buried his face and remained motionless, even though half of his face and head were exposed to Zhu Shengting's sight.

Suddenly, he felt a strange touch on his head. Someone was touching his head!

He Yan couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly raised his head and rubbed his messy hair with his hands, his face flushed red.

"I win." Zhu Shengting withdrew his hand and put it back in his pocket. The fingers of the hand that had touched He Yan's hair rubbed twice unconsciously.

He Yan was honest and trustworthy, and was willing to accept the loss. "You win, tell me what punishment you want me to accept."

Don't make things too difficult for others!

He Yan mourned in silence in his heart.

"Instead of punishing you, can you give me a reward instead?" Zhu Shengting bent his upper body slightly and looked down at He Yan who was sitting in the doll box.

That couldn’t be better!

He Yan smiled and asked, "Okay, what do you want?"

Zhu Shengting glanced around He Yan and said, "Can you give me a doll?"

What's wrong with that!

He Yan held a Lazy Sheep in different forms in one hand, looked left, looked right, and finally looked at Zhu Shengting, "Which one do you want?"

Zhu Shengting still maintained the same posture, but he did not follow He Yan's suggestion to select the various lazy sheep. Instead, he...

Staring at the only person sitting in the doll box who is not a doll... He Yan.

He Yan saw that Zhu Shengting didn't move for a long time, and thought that he was not satisfied with the two in his hand, and was picky, and he was reluctant to give some of them!

When he looked up again, he saw the other person staring at him.

It's like staring at the dolls in the claw machine through a glass window.

He Yan suddenly stopped moving, not knowing what to say. He watched Zhu Shengting's eyes scan his face again and again, and his ears began to burn unconsciously.

Three seconds later, he couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly stood up from the box and walked out again.

"You can pick whatever you want. I won't be reluctant. That's it. I'll wait for you outside."

He Yanche Gulu said a lot of things, but actually he fled in panic.

He didn't know what Zhu Shengting meant by staring at him just now.

He's not a doll!
