Chapter 5 Good friends can also hold hands

Pei Ji probably never considered whether dating would violate school rules.

Jiang Liyue could see his expression freeze for a moment, and a look of daze appeared on his usually handsome face.

Doesn't it actually look kind of cute?

“Actually, even if we don’t date, we can still be good friends first.” She reiterated her theory of good friends, “Being good friends can also help each other.”

Jiang Liyue spoke in a coaxing tone, a hint of cunning hidden beneath her smile: "We can be each other's only best friends, don't you think, Pei?"

Even if Pei Ji didn't intentionally entice her to break school rules, judging from his expression, dating was absolutely not allowed at Happiness No. 1 High School.

Jiang Liyue would never actually do anything risky.

"Your only good friend?" Seemingly persuaded, Pei Ji repeated the sentence.

Jiang Liyue nodded firmly: "That's right, it's just the two of us. We are each other's best friends."

For some unknown reason, Pei Ji's eyes lit up instantly: "Okay! We're good friends."

His expression was so serious that Jiang Liyue inexplicably had the illusion that she was a scumbag woman who had deceived the feelings of an innocent young man.

But the thought that the other party was a strange NPC in the dungeon made Jiang Liyue's heart calm down again, just like the fish that Da Runfa had been killing for ten years.

"Then we'll be good friends from now on. Remember to help each other out!" Jiang Liyue smiled and tilted her head.

Having achieved her goal, she remembered that she was currently inside a dungeon of a bizarre game. Looking around, she naturally changed the subject: "Is the Academic Affairs Office located here?"

The female teacher said that the academic affairs office was on the first floor. After going down to the first floor, you can find a small garden in front of the teaching building. However, it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the garden is overgrown with weeds when viewed from a distance.

The wind blew by, carrying a mournful sound, and something seemed to be lurking in the darkness, waiting for its chance to strike.

"This is the teaching building; the academic affairs office is on the other side." Pei Ji, as expected, disregarded his shyness and pointed to the opposite side of the small garden.

Jiang Liyue asked, "Is it far?"

"It's not far." Pei Ji paused, then looked at her feet. "Are you tired?"

If she was tired, he could actually hug her.

That way I can run into her without scaring her...

The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed to him, and Pei Ji was ready to bend down and pick her up.

"No, I was just hungry."

Jiang Liyue shook her head.

She wasn't lying. Although the feeling of hunger in reality disappeared after entering the instance, the psychological feeling of hunger remained.

She recalled the trauma of hunger in her childhood, and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she started playing the game.

Pei Ji felt sorry that he couldn't hug her, and when he heard that she was hungry, he frowned and said, "Then I'll take you to get something to eat first."

Jiang Liyue's eyes lit up when she heard there was food, but then she became worried. Could she really eat such strange food?

Pei Ji seemed to have read her thoughts and emphasized, "Many transfer students like to eat there."

Transfer students are probably all gamers.

Jiang Liyue instantly understood his meaning. She couldn't rule out the possibility that the strange man was trying to deceive her, but if Pei Ji wanted to, there were many other ways to make her violate the school rules of Happiness No. 1 Middle School and take advantage of her. There was no need to go through such a roundabout way.

Moreover, her stomach was indeed very uncomfortable, and she had to stay in the dungeon for several days. She couldn't stay in this state indefinitely, so she had to find something to eat.

So Jiang Liyue nodded and smiled without much hesitation, "Then thank you very much, Aji, for taking me to get something to eat."

Upon hearing her address, Pei Ji felt lightheaded and led her down another path.

There was only one streetlamp every long distance along the road, and the streetlights looked like isolated islands in the night.

"It's okay, everyone's in class right now, there's no one outside," Pei Ji explained to her, afraid she might be scared.

"Hmm." Jiang Liyue analyzed his words in her mind.

In other words, as long as you can get out of the exam room smoothly, you won't encounter any danger during the time between leaving the exam room and going to the academic affairs office, unless you deliberately do something reckless.

This is not hard to understand. Even if it is an A-level dungeon, it is impossible to completely eliminate the players' chances of survival. There is no reason to kill all the players on the first day.

Jiang Liyue was lost in thought when she came to her senses and noticed that Pei Ji kept turning his head to look at her feet, seemingly with a hint of expectation.

Someone asked her with concern, "Yueyue, aren't you tired yet?"

It was as if they couldn't wait for her to get tired quickly.

Jiang Liyue shook her head: "No."

Pei Ji hung his head, looking dejected, somewhat like a puppy that hadn't received a hug from its owner.

Jiang Liyue seemed to understand something, and waved her hand in front of him: "I'm really not tired, but, do you want to hold hands? It's normal for good friends to hold hands, right?"

A small, fair hand waved in front of him, and Pei Ji reached out and grasped it almost without hesitation.

It's perfectly normal for good friends to hold hands. Yueyue, don't you feel guilty saying that? Hahaha

[This is a story about a scary boss abducting a pitiful and weak player, but it turns out to be a story about a cunning and manipulative woman deceiving a naive boss.]

As for me, I'd be secretly happy if my wife were willing to lie to me; I'd be more than happy to be lied to by her.

[No, do you guys really think Pei Ji was fooled? I think I just saw him smirking.]

[I already said, the big boss definitely has his own plan; he definitely wasn't fooled!]

From an angle unseen by Jiang Liyue, Pei Ji slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

His Yueyue is really smart.

He could feel Jiang Liyue's warm, smooth skin and her throbbing pulse.

Pei Ji's breathing quickened.

He dared not use too much force. He had never felt anything when he crushed the heads of those humans with one hand before, but now he was worried that using a little force would make her uncomfortable.

Yueyue, I love her so much, I love her so much...

Unbeknownst to Jiang Liyue, the black mist emanating from him secretly wrapped around her wrist, then slowly climbed up her neck, gently brushing against her cheek.

Despite having no sense of touch, Jiang Liyue always felt a sticky sensation as if something was clinging to her.

Pei Ji held her hand with a normal expression. Yueyue always said that it's normal for good friends to hold hands, so it should be normal for him to secretly stick close to her, right?

Is this what I'm supposed to see in this weird live stream?

Not only can I not enter the dungeon to get any loot, but I'm also forced to watch other people and my wife fall in love. I won't say who broke down.

[Doesn't anyone think this little human is pretty reckless? He clearly saw his companion being eaten in the exam hall, yet he could still calmly talk about love with the eerie creature.]

I thought you guys figured out her weird tastes from when she complimented the female teacher on her looks.

But the boss really loves it!

Wait, why did the scene suddenly switch? I wanted to watch a romance, I wanted to ship the couple!

[Is it because the exams are already over?]
