Chapter 35: Just thank me, why are you hugging me?

"Okay, no need to give me the promise of marriage."

Zhen Jinli patted Si Yao's shoulder to comfort him.

"Stay here first. I'll bring you some food after I find out what's going on."

Si Yao still held her hand tightly and looked at her pitifully.

"Please don't leave me, okay? I'm scared."

"In this game, you are the only one who can save me."

"As long as you can save me from this game, I will agree to anything you want."

Zhen Jinli pulled her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back.

In addition to the natural physical strength differences between men and women, there is another point. Si Yao should have upgraded his physical fitness through the game, and his supernatural powers have also been awakened.

Zhen Jinli didn't feel that the upgrade of physical fitness in the game was obvious.

As for superpowers, there isn't even a hint of them.

Apart from her peacemaker skills and high luck skills, in terms of offensive capabilities, she is not even as good as a female player of the same age.

"What is your special ability? What about your special skills? Have you bought them?" Zhen Jinli suddenly asked.

Si Yao couldn't help but be stunned: "What special skills?"

Zhen Jinli had no choice but to explain to Si Yao in a low voice.

"If your abilities aren't impressive enough, following me will only be a burden."

"By then, not only will I be unable to save you, but I will also be in trouble."

A hint of sadness flashed in Si Yao's eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "My ability should be water-related."

"As for the special skills, sorry, I don't have enough points to buy them."

He was curious. It was good enough that he could pass the previous two rounds of the game safely.

How did this beautiful sister in front of me manage to get such a high score?

Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have saved more people and killed more NPCs.

But what if you fail to kill the monster and get killed instead?

Si Yao was silent.

He really envied Miss Koi's special physique.

I heard that the NPCs are afraid of her, so following her in the game should be the safest, right?

Seeing that Zhen Jinli was still hesitating, Si Yao couldn't help but persuade her again.

"I promise I won't hold you back, just let me follow you."

"Those NPCs are afraid of you. Maybe they'll let me go for your sake?"

Zhen Jinli sighed and explained, "They are indeed afraid of me and treat me with respect."

"But they won't break the rules for me. I hope you understand that."

"Now I give you two choices. First, you stay here. After I find out the situation, I will come back and bring you food."

In order to appease Si Yao, Zhen Jinli made a promise.

"Don't worry, saving people in the game can earn you points. I'm not the kind of person who would just stand by and watch someone die."

"Secondly, I can take you out, but I can't guarantee that other NPCs won't hunt you down. Even if I protect you, there's a good chance I won't be able to."

"Think it over carefully. If I were you, I would choose the first option, which is safer."

"The second path is too risky. If you get captured by those NPCs again, I won't save you. After all, you're asking for it."

Zhen Jinli's patient persuasion obviously failed to impress the big star.

Si Yao held her wrist tightly, showing no intention of letting go, and said in a firm tone.

"I choose the second one."

"You really are..." Zhen Jinli's eyes twitched, and she suddenly didn't know what to say to him.

Si Yao looked at Zhen Jinli with a determined look and said, "Actually, it's also very dangerous for me to hide alone."

"If those NPCs find me again and you're not by my side, I'll be truly doomed."

Zhen Jinli: “.”

What he said made so much sense that she was speechless.

At this point, Zhen Jinli was completely speechless.

"Well, if you want to follow, just follow me." Zhen Jinli stood up and looked at him expressionlessly.

She had already reminded him of everything she needed to, and she had done her best. If he insisted on choosing the second option, there was nothing she could do.

As expected, after Si Yao followed Zhen Jinli out, he was soon seen by the NPCs.

"There he is!"

"Stop, don't run!"

Zhen Jinli stood there without moving. Si Yao also stood beside her. He held her wrist tightly and was looking at her with a complicated expression.

The leading goat waiter bowed respectfully when he saw Zhen Jinli.

"I didn't know that Master Naxue was here. I disturbed you. I am truly guilty."

"Since you have captured the Redeemer, please hand him over to us."

Atoner? What is that?

Does it mean a sinner who has committed sins and needs redemption?

Zhen Jinli changed her mind and decided to try to protect Si Yao.

She calmed herself down and said to the goat waiter in a pretended calm manner.

"I still have use for this person, so I can't hand him over to you."

The goat waiter hesitated, then changed his mind.

Lady Naxue's action must have a deeper meaning. If he asks more questions, he is afraid that Lady Naxue will be unhappy.

Well, he is one of the many sinners who will be punished.

Thinking of this, the goat waiter respectfully bowed to Zhen Jinli like a gentleman.

"Since Lady Naxue is useful, then this person belongs to Lady Naxue."

After saying that, the goat waiter held the intercom between his hooves and said, "Redeemer Si Yao, the wanted status has been lifted."

Zhen Jinli, who originally thought that a certain top star was about to lose his job: "."

Did she really save him?

After the NPCs who were chasing Si Yao dispersed, Si Yao happily gave Zhen Jinli a big hug and said with uncontrollable excitement.

"Thank you, I knew you could save me!"

The refreshing blue perfume on Si Yao immediately lingered around Zhen Jinli's nose.

In addition, Si Yao's unique male hormones were constantly drilling into her nostrils, and Zhen Jinli couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment.

After coming to her senses, Zhen Jinli quickly pushed Si Yao away and said angrily.

"Just thank me, why are you hugging me?"

I have to say that Si Yao does have the potential and advantages to be the male lead in an idol drama, and it is really difficult for ordinary girls to resist his advances.

If she were seventeen years old, she might really be attracted to Si Yao.

But unfortunately, Zhen Jinli is already twenty-seven years old, her mind is much clearer, and she is not so easily moved.

Si Yao was extremely excited right now and didn't care at all about Zhen Jinli's anger.

"I'm just so happy."

Si Yao stuck out his tongue, his handsome face revealing the expression of a puppy asking to be adopted, and his watery peach blossom eyes looked at her seriously and expectantly.

"Can I call you Sister Li from now on?"

Zhen Jinli was killed by his expression and quickly looked away, silently telling herself to stay calm and not be seduced by his beauty.

This kid, how come his acting skills suddenly became so good at the critical moment of life and death?

If he had such good acting skills when he was acting normally, would he be ridiculed by the public for his poor acting skills?

No, this is not acting, this is just acting cute.
