Chu Chenan was half lying on the pear wood table, the chessboard was in disarray, and many chess pieces were scattered on the ground.
His cheeks were flushed and he bit his lower lip lightly, trying not to make any sound. His eyes were sparkling with a bit of daze, and he felt that time was passing very slowly, and light gold fell on his ankle.
Held in a pair of big hands, Lan Xu leaned over and kissed the back of his feet devoutly.
Chu Chenan was slightly stunned, seeing Lan Xu surrounded by a light golden light. He couldn't help but be deeply attracted by Lan Xu's pair of eyes that were as gentle and charming as turquoise.
The heat, wrapped in ambiguous love, made him forget his shyness and resistance for a moment.
It was quiet all around.
He seemed to hear only his own heartbeat.
The feeling of losing control made Chu Chenan inevitably panic, and he secretly grabbed Lan Xu's sleeve.
The wind blew through his hair, and Chu Chenan couldn't help but feel dazed again.
His every frown and smile seemed to carry the shadow of Lan Huai.
...
...
Chu Chenan only heard Lan Xu say, "Let's stay together forever, okay?"
Chu Chenan did not answer immediately because he could no longer utter a complete sentence at the moment.
His cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, he was breathing out hot air, and a hand clung helplessly to his shoulder.
Lan Xu's strong arms held him like iron, and he asked again in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Chu Chenan was panting and could no longer tell where he was.
Before Lan Xu kissed him, he uttered a word with difficulty, "...Okay."
He remembered answering this question many times.
But "they" always wanted to hear him say it again.
Lan Xu closed his eyes and kissed him, feeling very satisfied. He smiled and said, "It's a deal, An An, you are not allowed to regret it this time."
Lan Xu took off the silver bell from his neck and put it around Chu Chenan's neck. The silver ornaments reflected a dazzling light, and the crisp sound of the silver bells mixed with the sweet and lingering sobs.
The silver jewelry was like a wedding ring, trapping Chu Chenan's wandering thoughts.
…
After a few days of reorganization, He Xuesheng and his team decided to return.
They could have gone back the day after the incident, but considering a series of external factors brought about by the unprovoked deaths of several people in their group, and the fact that assistant Chen Han could no longer communicate normally with others, Lao Liang decided to take it slow.
Chen Han has been much better in the past few days. At least he no longer suddenly goes crazy and yells, and punches and kicks people he sees.
Lao Liang considered it for a long time. In order not to affect his future reputation and filming career, as well as his own safety, he decided to conceal the real cause of these people's deaths. After returning, he announced to the public that they had accidentally fallen off a cliff while filming in the mountains, and their bodies have not been found to this day.
He Xuesheng told him this secretly and repeatedly asked him to keep it a secret.
Chu Chenan felt that it was quite ironic. Perhaps in his world there were many unknown things that were buried behind the bright and beautiful screen. As ordinary people in the society, they might never know the filth and darkness inside.
Behind the beauty there are dead bones, but the one who buries the bodies will always be praised.
The wound on He Xuesheng's neck finally scabbed over.
He sat in the passenger seat, looking at Chu Chenan outside the car window, then glanced at Lan Huai who was hugging him, and asked hesitantly, "You...really don't want to go back with me first? School starts in half a month."
Chu Chenan stole a glance at Lan Huai's expression, smiled and shook his head at He Xuesheng, hesitating, "I... will go back when the time comes."
Zhang Fengting was picked up. He was wrapped tightly in a dark brown coat and sat in the corner of the last row. His back was straight, his posture was upright and elegant, and he stared at the water stains on the car window with an expressionless face. He obviously didn't want to communicate with others, perhaps he had forgotten how to adapt to being among people.
He is like a withered flower, but his branches are still unfolding.
When setting off, Chu Chenan passed by the car window in front of Zhang Fengting. He stared into his eyes and his pale mouth moved a few times.
He said silently to Chu Chenan through the car window, "Thank you."
Then, the car covered in yellow mud finally began to drive away.
Chu Chenan looked at the departing car, a little dazed.

The system's prompt sound kept ringing in Chu Chenan's mind.

Chu Chenan hesitated for half a second and clicked [Click to Use] on the control panel.

【Wow! 001 detects that your attraction value to the NPC behind the scenes has reached 100%. We recommend that you treat this as a travel experience and enjoy the moment.
Chu Chenan twitched his lips. He understood that 001 was hinting at him to have a relationship.
He looked at his personal information column and found that there were indeed two more prop cards in the prop column, but they were still gray and had not been activated.
He only has one gray card left in his deck. This copy is the fourth card, and the lighting rate has reached 90%.
This also means that he will be able to go back soon.
He will return to the real world, have a healthy body, no longer have to lie in the ward and rely on a ventilator to survive, and will return to a normal life...
But what about Lan Huai, this madman who is different from everyone else but is clearly the same NPC? What will happen to him...
Will she go crazy and destroy the game world, or will she continue to search for him madly and obsessively.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lan Huai rubbed his shoulder and said, "If you want to go out, we can live outside."
Chu Chenan came back to his senses and used his consciousness to close the system control panel. He shook his head.
Chu Chenan was held by his hand and walked back on the light gold road.
It’s actually very beautiful here, with green mountains, white clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun.
He felt Lan Huai's hands were very warm.
He will be led all the time.
Chu Chenan suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the vast green mountains in the distance. He watched the clouds and mist disappear into the mountaintops, turning into misty dust and then disappearing.
"What would you do if I disappeared again one day?"
Lan Huai turned sideways to look at him, stroked his cheek, and hugged him in his arms.
Lan Xu's eyes were full of him, and he said, "I'm going to find you and be with you."
Chu Chenan blinked. Lan Huai’s tone was calm and firm, and he suddenly felt relieved about something.
Lan Huai was willing to commit suicide just to find him, so what else can't he do?
He was sure that they would meet again.
Just like every time before.
They went to the secret place.
Chu Chenan was carried on Lan Huai's back, holding a berry that he had just taken a few bites of in his hand. He watched Lan Huai and his back slowly lengthen and move.
They were in a clear world, and Chu Chenan felt this clear love that was not mixed with sex and desire.
Chu Chenan lay on Lan Huai's shoulder and dozed off in the gentle glow of the sunset.
Lan Huai: "Baby, do you like it here?"
Chu Chenan responded in a daze, "...Yeah."
Lan Huai: "Then we will come here every day from now on."
Their shadows gradually lengthened, like a pair of affectionate lovers.
Chu Chenan squinted his eyes and watched the wind chasing the dandelions. Only after the dandelions floated for a long time and finally fell to the ground and were about to take root, did he close his eyes with peace of mind.
"Go to sleep, baby." Lan Huai said softly, "Don't worry, I will find you."
Lan Huai's words were gentle, and they rested his head on him as steadily as a ball of cotton.
Chu Chenan fell asleep holding a silver bell from the silver ornaments in his hand, and the cards in his mind lit up automatically.
On the back of the card was a bright red poison flower with a string of silver bells hanging in the center of the flower.
then.
The card flipped automatically, and the content on it automatically mixed into Chu Chenan's dream.
He dreamed of the day when he first met Lan Huai. Lan Huai looked at him indifferently, making him afraid to approach.
But at night, Lan Huai carefully arranged a place for him to stay. His eyes were no longer cold, but filled with unspeakable danger and passion...
One day, when he was semi-conscious, Lan Huai held his hand and kissed it, revealing a dark smile for the first time.
He seemed like a different person, becoming the other extreme of the soul.
Dangerous and scary.
In other words, this person is actually Lan Xu.
Chu Chenan’s consciousness was too blurry to make out.
Later, he dreamed of the poisonous flower that Lan Huai had locked in the back room. The air was filled with a subtle fragrance that tempted him to get closer.
He was bewitched and touched the dangerous and mysterious poisonous flower.
The poisonous flower turned into flower juice and melted into the back of his hand, as if it had also melted into his blood. He panicked for a moment, but before Lan Huai came in unwillingly and hugged him tightly, he clearly saw Lan Xu's smug smile in the dim light and shadow of the back room.
But this memory was erased unconsciously like a dream.
Chu Chenan suddenly realized that the facts were exactly the same as his premonition!
It turned out that Lan Xu had always been there, and what he said was true. Lan Xu had indeed known him for a long time.
Because Lan Xu and Lan Huai have always been the same person.
The Lan family has always had only one heir.
His grandfather named him Lan Huai, and his father, who was a merchant far away in Country A, named him Lan Xu.
My grandfather and father were always at loggerheads, neither willing to give in.
So, he had two names and two identities.
Like all the successors of the sorcerers of previous generations, he was imprisoned in Wulan Mountain by his grandfather in the name of a mission, and lived with poisonous insects all day long. He stayed alone in the valley with thousands of poisonous insects for a whole month.
During this month, the wounds on his body would scab over, then be torn open again by poisonous insects, heal again, and then split open again... He had been bitten by many deadly poisons in the dark valley, and had endured the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects alone.
He once thought in excruciating pain about the meaning of his existence. Perhaps death was more meaningful than his existence.
When he was close to death, his blood turned into the most deadly poison, and was immune to all other poisons. He became the winner in the Gu Refining Valley.
Like all previous sorcerers, in order to become the messenger of the holy sorcerer god, he sealed off half of his soul, restrained his dirty desires and spurned the secular world. He gradually became cold, taciturn, and indifferent to life, as if the blood in his body mixed with deadly poison was ice-cold.
Later, he became the greatest sorcerer in history and was revered and worshipped by foreigners in the temple of sorcerers.
But then he met Chu Chenan, and even though his soul was broken, he couldn't help but be caught up in love and dark possessiveness.
For the first time, he wanted to own someone, to make him his own.
This is the partner that belongs to him alone. This is destined, he thought.
He has a sweet lover, and the taste of being deeply immersed in love and desire makes him addicted to it.
His desire for possession became more and more uncontrollable, and he was even too extreme to want to share his soul with his extreme partner.
Later, his lover suddenly disappeared.
This made him lose his mind and he killed himself.
He wanted to extract his soul to look for his lover, but he was worried that his timid lover would be scared if she suddenly came back and couldn't find him, so he used witchcraft to regenerate his body so that his split soul would have a home.
The other half of his soul also wanted to monopolize his sweet lover, and they had an extreme disagreement.
The regenerated body was unwilling to compromise and only considered itself his younger brother, and also took away one of his names.
The other half of his soul said that he wanted to be called Lan Xu and to be Chu Chenan’s legitimate lover.
His character is contradictory, and so is his soul.
But they all love their lovers very much.
…
[Click here to collapse]
Chu Chenan woke up suddenly. Although his brain reacted slowly, he still figured out 80% of the truth.
They are equivalent to another form of schizophrenia, which may be affected by the pain they have experienced in the past, and this kind of schizophrenia is more serious and more extreme.
Since Lan Xu and Lan Huai are the same person, it makes more sense that the NPC behind the scenes is the same person.
Chu Chenan felt very uncomfortable whenever he thought of the scene of Lan Huai trapped in the valley and being bitten by poisonous insects.
He squinted his eyes, sat up, rubbed his messy hair, raised his eyes, and met the gaze not far away.
Lan Xu was sitting quietly in a chair not far away, looking at him with a smile.
Chu Chenan felt that something was wrong with him, and then he remembered that he hadn't argued with him about the chess matter yet, so he squinted at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lan Xu was holding his paintbrush with a drawing board beside him. He came to the bed and sat down, "Baby, I learned how to paint."
Chu Chenan, "What?"
"I will be able to paint with you in the future."
Lan Xu held his little hand, very happy, "Whatever you draw, I will draw along with you. Draw mountains, draw water, draw anything... I can always be with you."
Chu Chenan was slightly stunned. It turned out that Lan Xu had always cared about this matter because he and He Xuesheng had been painting together for two days.
Chu Chenan suddenly felt that he was being petty, and asked shyly, "Did you learn it by yourself?"
"Well, I'll practice while you're with your brother." Lan Xu kissed Chu Chenan's cheek, "This way I'll have more time to spend with you than with my brother."
Lan Xu had the most plans, and he was also the first NPC behind the scenes Chu Chenan saw competing with himself.
Lan Xu clung to him, hugged him, and asked for a kiss, "I learned it by myself, I'm smart, right?
Chu Chenan was kissed so hard that he staggered all over the place. He nodded repeatedly, "Let me go... I'm going to fall."
"No, I will hold you tight and I won't fall," Lan Xu held him in his arms and murmured, "You won't get lost either."
Lan Xu said, "By the way, do you want to see the painting I drew?"
Chu Chenan nodded reluctantly and let him let go to get it.
"It's just that I haven't finished the painting yet, baby..." Lan Xu lifted the painting curtain and said regretfully, "Can you help me finish it?"
Chu Chenan looked over and almost threw the pillow at him. The person in the painting is him, and that was the scene when he was playing chess that day.
From the rosy face to the white legs, there was no time to paint the special parts.
"But it's all because An An was so delicious. I was so engrossed in the meal that I forgot what An An looked like in her entirety at the time."
Lan Xu showed regret on his face. He walked over, held his ankle, and suggested, "Why don't we let brother draw it? We can recall it again."
Chu Chenan took back his previous thought.
Perverts are always perverts.
He blushed and bit Lan Xu's shoulder lightly, which hurt his teeth instead. His cheeks were puffed up like a hamster.
Then, Lan Huai pushed the door open and walked in.
From dusk to dawn in the east, the painting is still not finished.
