Xia Linyin smiled helplessly, then tiptoed and gave him another big kiss on the cheek, making a loud "pop" sound.

"Is that alright?" Xia Linyin wiped her mouth and asked, pretending to be calm, but her ears were completely red.

Xiao Li pointed to the other cheek that hadn't been kissed, "And this side too."

Xiao Li tilted his head, presenting his exquisite profile to Xia Linyin, but suddenly turned his head away when Xia Linyin leaned in to kiss him.

Xia Linyin's kiss landed on his lips. Xiao Li gently stroked his lips, which Xia Linyin had kissed, and smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream. "That's enough now."

Before Xia Linyin could hit him, Xiao Li took her hand and said, "Come on, sister, I'll take you to see them."

Staring blankly at their clasped hands, Xia Linyin raised her other hand to her lips, involuntarily recalling the kiss Xiao Li gave her when she was the clown. Her face flushed, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Perhaps, even though she has lost the memory of falling in love with Xiao Li, the lingering physical sensations remain, so she is not averse to Xiao Li's contact and intimacy.

It can even cause your blood to rush, making your face flush and your heart race.

...

In the basement with only a small window for ventilation, Yin Yichen, Shangguan Xin, and Gao Haichuan were tied to chairs. All three were in poor condition, with dark circles under their eyes and chapped lips.

When the entrance to the basement opened and bright sunlight streamed in, the three of them, whose eyes had already adjusted to the darkness, couldn't help but close them.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Shangguan Xin trembled slightly. Clearly, the Rose Killer had brought back terrible memories for her, and her fear of the Rose Killer had seeped into her very bones.

Yin Yichen slowly opened his eyes, which had been squinting in the sunlight. He looked at Xiao Li and Xia Linyin, and when his gaze fell on their clasped hands, Yin Yichen's bloodless lips curled into his signature wicked smile. "Xiao Yin, see, I told you so. The Rose Killer has appeared."

Her originally clear and pure voice became dry and hoarse because she hadn't been drinking any water.

"Xiaoyin..." Shangguan Xin called out tremblingly, her eyes revealing a silent plea.

Xia Linyin bit her lip. "Xiao Li, let them go. Don't kill anyone else."

"But they want to kill me, sister." A piece of black paper with a rose pattern appeared in Xiao Li's hand, and the names of the four of them were written in gold letters on the paper.

"This is the death list the game gave me. I am your prey, and you are my prey as well."

"If it weren't for my sister, they would have been dead long ago. Are you so sure that I wouldn't kill you?"

"Or does my sister believe that I will willingly let you kill me?"

The words that came from those beautifully shaped lips pierced Xia Linyin's heart like a knife: "No, Xiao Li, I didn't... I didn't think that way."

Xiao Li suddenly smiled, put away the black paper, and gazed tenderly at the bewildered Xia Linyin. "But that's what Xiao Li thinks. Xiao Li is willing to be killed by her sister. As long as her sister gives me a little response, I am willing to give up my whole world for her. As long as her sister stays by my side, that's enough."

“I’m willing to do anything for my sister. She said to let them go, so I’ll let them go.”

Xiao Li swung her sword and cut the ropes binding the three people. "I don't want to see you again, and I don't want anyone to disturb my sister and me's time together, otherwise..."

He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he meant.

Never try to anger the demon, because the consequences are unimaginable; the demon's wrath can burn everything to ashes.

After the three left, Xiao Li gently lifted the corners of Xia Linyin's mouth and said, "Sister, cheer up. What are you worried about? You and I are standing here perfectly fine. You have to know that life is short, so we should treat every day as a celebration before the end of the world."

Yes! What is she worried about? The game only asks them to kill Rose Killer, but it doesn't say when to kill her. Just wait as long as possible, don't think about anything else, treat every day as a celebration before the end of the world, cherish every day with Xiao Li, that's enough.

But you can hide forever; that day will always come. Another voice in Xia Linyin's heart said.

Her lips curled up slightly, but the smile was more like a grimace. "Xiao Li, that death list the game gave you... what would happen if you didn't kill us?"

Xiao Li received the death list from the game but did not kill the players, which is equivalent to openly defying the game's settings. According to Xiao Li, the game's judgment of him was problematic, but it was under control.

Now that he's doing this, won't he completely expose himself?

Xiao Li changed the subject, saying, "Sister, whatever you like, I'll give it to you, okay?"

"Xiao Li, that death list—"

Xiao Li pinned Xia Linyin against the wall and gagged her.

Originally, he only wanted to stop Xia Linyin from speaking, but after touching Xia Linyin's soft lips, he couldn't bear to leave.

Those two soft lips were like sweet honey, like addictive poppies, making him want to bite them off and swallow them whole.

"Ugh..." After realizing what was happening, Xia Linyin pushed Xiao Li away forcefully.

He distanced himself from Xia Linyin and looked down at her. His silver hair fell down, and his blood-red lips glistened with moisture. After staring at Xia Linyin for a few seconds, he covered her lips with his again.

Xiao Li forcefully pushed Xia Linyin's legs apart, lifted her up by her buttocks, and slammed her heavily against the wall.

Xia Linyin was almost breathless from his kisses, and in a fit of anger, she bit his lips hard.

The taste of blood lingered between his lips and teeth. Xiao Li pulled away from Xia Linyin's lips, wiped his mouth with his finger, looked at the blood on his fingertip, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"My sister bit so hard, it seems she really hates my touch."

Xia Linyin opened her mouth, wanting to say "no," but Xiao Li had already taken a step back, a devilishly excited smile appearing on his handsome face. "Let's play a game, sister."

Have you ever heard of the game of Russian roulette?

A revolver appeared in Xiao Li's hand. "The magazine has six holes. Put a bullet in, then rotate the magazine randomly—"

As he spoke, Xiao Li calmly put bullets into the bullet hole, rotated the magazine, and then raised his arm, pointing the gun at his temple.

"Participants take turns pointing a gun at themselves and pulling the trigger; whether they live or die depends entirely on luck."

“Since you’re so conflicted, let’s leave everything to fate. Let fate decide who lives and who dies.”

"Bang!" Xiao Li moved her beautiful lips, made a simulated gunshot sound, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
