Chapter 252 Did I hurt you? [5]

The already cramped living room felt even more confined with the presence of three adult men, all over 1.8 meters tall.

The frail girl, covered in bruises, sitting on the single sofa opposite them, looked even more delicate, helpless, and pitiful.

In the real world, they would have softened their hearts long ago when faced with such a beautiful and pitiful girl.

The problem is, this is a horror game instance!

Since this girl isn't a player, she definitely isn't a living person either!

Are those guys crazy?!

"Brother Ye, are you sure you want to leave her here?"

Achu looked at the person who was speaking.

A handsome young man who seemed very sunny.

Several rows of light screens appeared above his head.

[Player: Guan Ziyang]

Age: 20

Height: 180cm

Grade: A+

[Identity: A university student living in apartment 1701 downstairs.]

His heart is full of vitality; this food is very good for replenishing his energy and blood!

"Brother Ye, keeping her around is really not suitable."

Another man next to them spoke up as well.

Achu looked over again.

He looks about the same age as Nan Xingye, and has a handsome and upright appearance.

[Player: Yan Lukuan]

Age: 25

Height: 183cm

Grade: A+

[Occupation: Real estate agent living in apartment 1703 downstairs.]

His heart was chewy and tasted good!

A Chu's gaze swept quickly across Guan Ziyang and Yan Lukuan's faces and heads before turning to Nan Xingye.

Her eyes were red and filled with tears, and her gaze towards Nan Xingye was full of helplessness and dependence.

Before Achu could even speak, Nan Xingye's heart had already softened.

“If she stays, I will take responsibility.” Once Nan Xingye said this, there was basically no room for change.

Although Guan Ziyang had only known Nan Xingye for a year, he admired and unconditionally trusted him.

Yan Lukuan and Nan Xingye were university classmates, so Yan Lukuan knew him better.

Therefore, he was even more surprised.

Since the horror game descended upon the world, Yan Lukuan and Nan Xingye have experienced so many instances together.

What kind of pitiful NPCs haven't they encountered?

Even he couldn't help but soften his heart at the beginning.

But Nan Xingye was able to stab the other party through without hesitation, without the slightest unease.

Yan Lukuan always thought that Nan Xingye was born without compassion.

But unexpectedly...

Never mind, this little girl doesn't seem like she can cause any harm.

The risk level shouldn't be too high, right?

Meanwhile, Nan Xingye had already led Achu into the room.

He looked at Achu's injuries, wondering if they would heal on their own.

Nan Xingye took out some medicine from his backpack.

"Sit on the bed, I'll apply the medicine for you," Nan Xingye said to A Chu.

Achu obediently sat on the bed, but said to Nan Xingye, "It's okay, Xingye-ge, my injury will heal soon, no need to waste medicine."

She was telling the truth; this body isn't human, and she couldn't even feel pain from these injuries.

The medicine that gamers use is all bought with points.

Achu felt that he didn't need to use it.

Nan Xingye insisted on applying the medicine to Achu.

Achu could only tilt her head back and let Nan Xingye apply the medicine for her.

There was a clear handprint on the left side of her cheek, red and slightly swollen.

Her lips were also slightly cut, and red blood was seeping out.

Nan Xingye's hands are beautiful, long and slender, with distinct knuckles.

He dipped his fingertips in the medicine and applied it to Achu's face, bringing a slight coolness.

Ah Chu wasn't in any pain at all, but he pretended to hiss as if he was in pain.

Nan Xingye immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at A Chu: "Did I hurt you?"

Ah Chu looked at Nan Xingye with teary eyes, still trying to smile at him: "Brother Xingye, it doesn't hurt."

Nan Xingye felt as if something was squeezing his heart, and he felt a little suffocated.

"Does your father often beat you?" he asked Achu.

Ah Chu gave a soft "hmm".

“My dad is under too much work pressure. He goes drinking every day after get off work, and when he comes home drunk, he beats me and my mom.”

Nan Xingye frowned, a surge of anger and murderous intent rising in his heart.

He thought, "Go and kill Achu's father."

Nan Xingye asked A Chu, "What time does your father leave for work every day?"

Achu didn't know why he asked this, but still answered, "He leaves for work at seven o'clock every morning."

Nan Xingye nodded, indicating that he understood.

He seemed to have just asked casually, and then continued applying the medicine to Achu.

After the medicine was applied, Nan Xingye stood up.

"You just stay in your room and sleep. Don't come out no matter what noise you hear."

Achu nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."

Nan Xingye left the room and closed the door.

Achu lay in bed.

Minami Hoshino probably never lay on this bed.

With his eyes closed, Achu could see Nan Xingye and the others in the living room outside.

They were talking about her.

Guan Ziyang and Yan Lukuan still didn't quite understand why Nan Xingye let A Chu in.

Nan Xingye: "She's just an NPC, she's no threat."

Yan Lukuan: "Brother Ye, do you remember the dungeon before last? The big boss in that dungeon was just a kid who didn't seem to pose much of a threat, but out of fifty players, only five managed to clear it."

Nan Xingye naturally remembered.

He had once wondered why he was an exception in Achu's case.

Could it be that she has some kind of mind-controlling ability?

But if she could, why didn't she also bewitch Guan Ziyang and Yan Lukuan?

Nan Xingye decided to stop overthinking and follow her heart.

So when he heard Yan Lukuan's words, he simply said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Yan Lukuan knew it was impossible to persuade Nan Xingye to change his mind, so he didn't say anything.

The first night in this instance was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The three of them stayed in the living room, preparing for the next wave of danger.

They waited and waited, until they were almost asleep, but nothing happened.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened.

But the sky outside was an abnormal orange-red.

Nan Xingye glanced at the time; it was six in the morning.

The game rules state that players cannot leave their rooms between 8 PM and dawn.

Now that it's daylight, I can definitely leave the room.

At 6:50 a.m., Nan Xingye gave Guan Ziyang and Yan Lukuan some instructions and then went out.

Fifteen minutes later, Minami Hoshino returned.

Guan Ziyang and Yan Lukuan asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what did you go out to do?"

Nan Xingye said casually, "Go kill an NPC."

At the same time, Achu in the room also opened his eyes.

Her expression was somewhat complicated.

Nan Xingye actually went and killed her 'father'.

This is really...

Achu felt that it wasn't her trying to win over Nan Xingye, but rather Nan Xingye trying to win her over!

She checked Nan Hoshino's level of affection for her.

It's already at level 60!

This is the fastest-growing romance target in history!

However, Achu didn't think much of it, assuming that Nan Xingye just liked her type, which was why he was acting this way.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom first.

The handprint on her face was gone in the bathroom mirror.

Actually, even without Nan Xingye's medicine, her injuries would have healed automatically the next day.
