Chapter 5: Kiss

Chapter 5: Kiss

Shen Yan is not nearsighted, but the original owner wears glasses, so according to the setting, he should be severely nearsighted.

He squinted his eyes and looked up, and in the dim moonlight, it was difficult for him to identify the person in front of him.

He relaxed visibly, his eyes sparkling, and he said quickly, "Zhixian, you know them, right? Talk to them quickly, there must be a misunderstanding here."

Ruan Zhixian: "Brother, answer my question."

Ruan Zhixian couldn’t tell whether he was happy or angry, and his condescending look made Ana Shen involuntarily show a frightened expression.

He swallowed and said nervously: "I... I was using a computer, and it broke down. I wanted to send it to a recycling point, but I forgot to bring the navigation system, and accidentally got lost, and then..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and the strange looks from others made him unable to raise his head.

The man in the suit moved his suspicious gaze between Shen Yan and Ruan Zhixian.

This place is very remote. If you walk here from the lower town, it will take at least half an hour.

Although the mechanical recycling point is open 24 hours a day, few people would send their computers for recycling in the middle of the night, let alone travel so far.

Ruan Zhixian didn't say anything. Shen Yan's arm, which was held behind his back by the man in the suit, felt sore. He moved, but it attracted more violent suppression.

Shen Yan whispered sadly: “Zhi Xian…”

The man in the suit looked at Ruan Zhixian: "What is your relationship with him?"

Ruan Zhixian: "It doesn't matter."

Ana Shen was stunned, and just as he was about to say something, the man in the suit interrupted him and continued to question Ruan Zhixian aggressively.

"Then how did he know your name? The man said that no one should know about this, and if the rules are violated, everyone will be punished."

Ruan Zhixian looked at him solemnly, "I said, it doesn't matter."

Shen Yan, who was pressed to the ground, looked at Ruan Zhixian in disbelief. He stopped struggling and resisted, and lowered his head so that others could not see his expression.

The man in the suit had the answer in his mind.

The two of them must know each other, but the appearance of this person should not have been within his expectations.

As for why it happened so coincidentally, we can put that aside for now. What’s more important is this game.

Even if this cowardly young man was some kind of prop or test sent by the organizer, or something else.

As long as I can help them get through customs and get the money, there is no need to pursue his life experience and significance.

He doesn't know the rules, doesn't know what's in the box, and is very easy to manipulate. As long as he is ordered to do something in a firm and firm manner, he will do it.

Is a perfect scapegoat.

When the man in the suit let go of Ana Shen, he deliberately used some strength.

Ana Shen fell to the ground, his coat was stained with some dust, but luckily it was artificial leather, so he quickly got up and patted the dirt clean.

The man in the suit handed him his card and ordered, "Go open this box."

Ana Shen was stunned, “Why?”

The man in the suit clicked his tongue, pressed his shoulder, and punched him.

The fist landed on Shen Yan's abdomen, and Shen Yan was hit so hard that he bent over. The man in the suit shook his hand and looked at him in surprise.

His abdominal muscles are quite hard, as if they have been trained.

The middle-aged man came up and supported Ana Shen, and inadvertently glared at the man in the suit in agreement, “You are too impulsive, he is just an ordinary person.” He then comforted him very gently, “Are you okay? By the way, I don’t know your name yet.”

The young man holding his stomach slowly stood up and said gratefully: “My name is Ana Shen.”

The man in the suit snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Why are you pretending to be a good guy? Don't you want him to open your box too?"

Each person's hand is bound to their terminal, which in turn is bound to the Spider Bomb.

Transfer the cards to Shen Yan and let Shen Yan step on the landmine, then the person who transferred the cards will be safe for a short time.

The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes instantly turned red, and he pinched his cards and spoke slowly:

"If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, I definitely wouldn't have asked the young man to help me do such a dangerous thing. My son is only three years old. My wife was robbed a few years ago and had a big hole in her body. She can't afford to go to the hospital. The kidney that the black doctor installed in her body requires hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs every year. I, I..."

As he spoke, he began to cry.

This guy's acting is pretty good too.

It was obvious that he sold all his relatives and friends to pay off his gambling debts, but now he speaks so sincerely.

This time it became Ana Shen who comforted him.

"Sir, I don't know what happened here, but if you need my help, I will definitely do my best."

The middle-aged man quickly pressed the card into his hand. "Really? Thank you so much! You just need to bind this card to your terminal, and then..."

Zhugan kicked the middle-aged man away and grabbed Ana Shen, his eyes full of some kind of crazy enthusiasm.

"You know Lianzi, right? There's a guy in Lianzi called Aino. He's my father. He has a very high status in the organization. As long as you open my box, I can recommend you to join Lianzi. How about that?"

On the other side, a fashionable teenager said disdainfully, "Aino? You have the nerve to mention a guy who kneels at someone's feet to clean shoes."

Zhugan became anxious and stared at the boy with a fierce look. The boy was not afraid at all. Instead, he hooked his finger at him provocatively.

He immediately rushed forward like a mad dog.

The boy and the bamboo pole started fighting, the man in the suit pulled the middle-aged man to prevent him from getting close to Shen Yan, the woman was stabbed by the child, and she limped to Shen Yan with one leg higher than the other, and knelt down straight.

Her figure was very attractive to men. Her bare arms were covered with intricate tattoos, and the information receiver implanted on the back of her neck was glowing faintly.

Shen Yan was at a loss and wanted to help the man up, but the woman held on tightly, clasping Shen Yan's arm with ten fingers, poking the terminal on his wrist, and trying to force the card to be bound to him without saying a word.

The child rushed over screaming, grabbed the woman's ankles and pulled her down, cursing loudly.

One could barely tell from his words that they were husband and wife.

As soon as a person went over to let Shen Yan bind him, someone else came over to interfere and stop him. The situation, which had been barely stabilized due to Shen Yan's appearance, became chaotic again because of Shen Yan.

Ruan Zhixian stood not far away and watched them attack each other calmly. The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes fell on Shen Yan.

As their prey, Shen Yan obviously did not have the awareness of a prey. He tried to persuade them left and right, and was accidentally injured in the process of persuading them, but he was not angry, and was anxious.

Even though he treated her so coldly, she still subconsciously regarded him as her savior and glanced in his direction from time to time.

stupid.

Stupid and gay.

Ruan Zhixian turned his eyes away calmly and suddenly said, "Stop, you're wasting time."

He spoke in a low voice, but because he did not join the battle, although the others were busy fighting, they would also divert their attention to him, for fear that he would take advantage of them.

Unexpectedly, until the very end, he had no intention of fighting for "safety" like them.

The first one to react was the man in the suit.

The game has a time limit. After binding the card, the terminal will display the game time. There are three hours left now.

It's too urgent to decrypt or anything else.

The others also gradually stopped playing. Ruan Zhixian threw his card to the ground and continued, "Let him choose for himself."

The man in the suit sneered, "You know him, who would he choose if not you?"

Ruan Zhixian said indifferently: "Then exclude me."

Several people looked at each other.

Ruan Zhixian: "After I finish choosing, I can sort out the answers, hurry up."

He had originally suspected that the two men were secretly colluding with someone to set them up, but when he saw Ruan Zhixian's ruthless look, he gradually became relieved.

The probability of the first person being killed in the explosion is more than 90%.

Rounding up is 100%.

He didn’t tell Ana Shen the rules, he was as vague as they were, and he was on the same side as them.

That's easy.

Ruan Zhixian's card was in his hand. The man in the suit placed the collected cards in front of him and urged him, "Pick one."

Shen Yan: “What’s in the box?”

Only when death is imminent do people start asking this question.

How on earth did such a slow-witted person survive?

The man in the suit did not answer Ana Shen’s question, but shook his fist in front of him, threatening him nakedly: “Don’t ask, just choose.”

Ruan Zhixian said: "There is a bomb inside, you might die. The person who survives the explosion will get 10 million."

The scene was silent.

The deceived little lamb suddenly learned the truth, his eyes widened, and he roared and rushed forward to hit Ruan Zhixian, who kicked him to the ground.

The kick must have been very powerful. Zhugan's face turned pale and he was kicked away, collapsing on the ground, motionless.

The body was still moving slightly, but he was not dead yet.

Besides, what would it matter if I died?

He was originally a desperado.

Ruan Zhixian clearly demonstrated his fighting power, which made others dare not provoke him again.

It’s better to threaten Shen Yan.

The man in the suit took the card and spread it out in front of Shen Yan in a fan shape, muttering nonsense: "Don't listen to that man's nonsense, if you..."

Ana Shen interrupted him, “I can go and open it, but I also have conditions.”

The man in the suit found it very funny. You are about to die, and you are still thinking about making conditions?

But in order to calm him down, I still said in a reasonable manner: "Okay, what do you think?"

This time Shen Yan kept silent. He closed his eyes and randomly picked a card to bind. The number was seven.

The man in the suit who was chosen breathed a sigh of relief, and this time he really said with a blessing: "Good luck to you."

Ana Shen pursed her lips and smiled, then walked in front of Ruan Zhixian and spread out her palm.

“Zhi Xian, give me yours.” Shen Yan: “I’ll try to see if I can bind two cards at the same time.”

When these words were spoken, not only Ruan Zhixian, but everyone else couldn't help but be surprised.

Thirteen bombs, only one of which has a chance of survival.

It's not like someone hasn't thought about binding multiple things at once, but it's completely useless to you.

They are all here for the money, how could anyone be willing to sacrifice their life for the benefit of others?

So funny.

But something funny was happening right before their eyes.

Ruan Zhixian didn’t move, he lowered his eyes and looked at Ana Shen, “You don’t have to repay me like this.”

Shen Yan smiled at him, took Ruan Zhixian's card directly, and tied it up by himself.

Seeing this, others also gathered around, hoping that Ana Shen would bind their cards.

But unfortunately, binding two is the limit.

This was a hidden rule that was not written in the rules. Before others had time to explore and use it, it was consumed by Ana Shen, so they had to disperse in disappointment.

Shen Yan is now bound to two numbers, one number six and one number seven.

Two numbers that are exactly adjacent.

The others stepped back and stared at Ana Shen nervously.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but explosions.

They were afraid that Ana Shen’s docility just now was just an excuse, and they were afraid that he would run away.

The man in the suit was ready to capture him.

Ana Shen stood in front of the paper bag, not as nervous as they were.

After all, he had carefully selected these two numbers.

One is a safety bullet and the other is a lucky star.

The former can make all bombs except the safety bomb explode, and the lucky star can make all bombs ineffective when detonated.

What if we open it together?

The novel doesn't give an answer.

The original plot was a battle royale, and unsurprisingly everyone died at the hands of Ruan Zhixian.

Ruan Zhixian played around with it, and found that the props that were originally used to stimulate their desires and fears turned out to be Ruan Zhixian's final toy.

Ruan Zhixian, who arranged these things, actually didn't know which bombs would explode and which would not. It was all random.

He held the number plate, his number was six, so he picked up number seven and changed his tie.

Open.

All spider bombs except number seven were activated and flew towards the Binder at high speed.

Explosions occurred in various places in the unfinished building, causing the bodies of those who had originally been killed to suffer secondary injuries.

Number seven is a safety bomb, and the bomb that originally belonged to Ruan Zhixian is the lucky star.

It seemed as if the Grim Reaper really wanted to take him to hell.

But God wanted him to live every time.

Shen Yan thought about Ruan Zhixian, who threw away the number plate and left in a cool way in the plot, and opened the two boxes at the same time in the same cool way.

Nothing happened.

Shen Yan picked up the small and exquisite bomb and waved to everyone hiding there.

"It seems to be broken." Shen Yan: "Do you want to fix it?"

-

On the way back, Ruan Zhixian did not take the initiative to talk to Shen Yan.

It was almost dawn, Ana Shen was physically tired and sleepy, but mentally excited.

He kept chattering beside Ruan Zhixian, "Zhixian, I know you were doing this for my own good. Cutting off ties at that time was the only way for both of us to survive. I don't blame you."

"Speaking of which, those spiders are bombs? That's so cool!"

Ruan Zhixian interrupted him, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​binding two number plates?"

Ana Shen said without hesitation: “Because of you.”

Ruan Zhixian sneered.

Ana Shen scratched his head and said in a very light voice: “You saved my life, I can’t just watch you being threatened by those people and ignore it, right?”

"After all, you are really important to me."

At night, the moon was high in the sky, and both the ground and the people walking on the street were covered with a layer of silver frost. They had not yet reached the city, so there was no light pollution from neon lights. There was a small path with only the two of them, and the atmosphere seemed perfect for a confession.

Ruan Zhixian stopped and looked at Ana Shen.

Shen Yan has fair skin, so it is difficult for her to hide her emotions, and when her cheeks and ear tips are stained with blush, it will be more obvious than others.

The gay who kept saying that he wanted to repay his gratitude ruined the game he had planned for a month, allowing everyone to escape unscathed.

Was it really luck, or did he hide it too well and too deeply?

Like him?

Are you pretending, or do you really like it?

Ruan Zhixian: "Brother."

He grabbed Ana Shen's wrist, and his fingers slid down Ana Shen's arm to his cheek, holding his jaw and making him look at him, his expression clearly visible.

Under the fragile, thin eyelids are restless eyeballs, trembling slightly. The evening breeze is very cool. Ruan Zhixian's cold palms are pressed against Shen Yan's hot face, and it seems to be as hot as a stove in the illusion.

Ruan Zhixian’s fingertips rubbed his skin, and Ana Shen didn’t dare to look at him at all, and her face became even redder.

The breaths are intertwined.

Ruan Zhixian slowed down his voice, "Brother is also very important to me."

He moved closer.

"Brother, sometimes you stare at my face in a trance." With a teasing smile, he asked, "Why?"

Shen Yan didn't hold Ruan Zhixian's hand very hard, and his fingertips trembled slightly. What he thought in his heart was "Look, you dog male protagonist, let me punch you", but he spoke softly, "Zhixian...don't do this..."

Then he closed his eyes with the conviction that he would die.

This time it’s a real gamble.

He bet that the male protagonist would not suddenly kiss him just to confirm whether he was gay.

His lips quickly brushed against something soft.

Ana Shen opened his eyes in disbelief, and Ruan Zhixian had a very strange expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or disgusted.

"I hope I didn't misunderstand you."

Shen Yan: (swear words)

Ruan Zhixian is making such a big deal?

He got quite a boost tonight.

hehe.

Shen Yan took a deep breath, barely gave himself a buff, grabbed Ruan Zhixian by the collar, and kissed him with a desperate momentum.

Anyway, the first kiss was gone three seconds ago.

It was the male protagonist who disgusted him first.

Thinking of this, Ana Shen held Ruan Zhixian's neck, stuck out his tongue, and passed it across his lips.

“Zhi Xian…” Ana Shen hugged him and said timidly and boldly: “Kissing, there’s more to it than just this, right?”

Ruan Zhixian showed no signs of emotion and stood there straight as a telephone pole.

But she still opened her mouth and let Ana Shen’s tongue probe in.

-

On the way back with Ruan Zhixian, Ruan Zhixian said that he had something to do and parted ways with him.

After returning home, Ana Shen brushed her teeth more than ten times, and the few toothpastes she had were squeezed out. The next four times she brushed her teeth were just for rinsing her mouth.

My teeth were numbed by the cold water.

Ana Shen looked at herself in the mirror, her mouth was red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were broken.

At first he kissed her while holding back his nausea, but later on, probably because of the man's desire to win, Ruan Zhixian took over and kissed her until she almost suffocated him.

But eighty percent of the reason why Ana Shen felt suffocated was because Ruan Zhixian was kissing and pinching his neck at the same time.

There is a circle of deep red marks around the Adam's apple on the neck, which will probably turn purple after a night's sleep.

His throat was hoarse when he spoke, as if he was sick.

Shen Yan felt that at a certain moment, Ruan Zhixian really wanted to strangle him to death.

Be calmer next time.

Shen Yan learned from his mistakes, reviewed today's content, and then lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

The bar is open from 5pm to 1am.

He can sleep at least five hours.

Exhausted from the whole night, Ana Shen fell asleep almost immediately.

Unfortunately, he began to dream.

The dream was a sea of ​​fire, and Ruan Zhixian held him in his arms and kissed him.

I held his waist, my tongue entangled with his, and there was a faint smell of blood on my breath.

There were three shadowy figures around them, who crowded together, stared at them, and discussed with interest.

"Xiaoyan's face is so red." A tall shadow touched his face, "Can you kiss me later?"

The other, slightly thinner one, slapped his hand away and said seriously, "Don't disturb them. What if the boss gets angry and takes him back to the bedroom?"

The last one grabbed Ana Shen's hand, licked and sucked his fingers hard, and the gaps between his fingers became soft and wet because of his licking.

A vague murmur came out of the pervert's mouth.

"Mother……"

Ana Shen woke up in shock.
