Chu Chenan held the bouquet of roses, leaned over and sniffed them, the sweet fragrance filled his nose.
He fiddled with the petals for a few times, but still stuffed the card back into the flower with an embarrassed look on his face, and carried it back to the room.
The sunlight in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually dimmed, and a bouquet of roses was placed on the table in front of the window, coated with a layer of light gold.
The next morning.
Chu Chenan brought another breakfast and knocked on Cheng Hao's door persistently.
A few minutes later.
Cheng Haocai opened the door. He looked much better today than yesterday. At least he wasn't as frighteningly pale as yesterday.
Cheng Hao opened the door, looked at Chu Chenan and the breakfast in his hand, and said nothing.
Chu Chenan: "Want to have breakfast?"
"Thanks."
...
...
"You are welcome."
Cheng Hao took the breakfast and stood at the door, waiting for him to leave. He saw Chu Chenan still standing at the door and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Chu Chenan pointed inside the room, "Can I talk to you about... the butcher?"
When Cheng Hao heard the word "butcher", a strange look flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Chu Chenan with a look of confusion, and was silent for a few seconds. Then he stepped aside and let Chu Chenan walk in.
As Chu Chenan walked into the room, he smelled a strong smell of blood. He glanced at the coffee table in front of the sofa, where were several boxes of gauze and medical needles and thread, as well as several boxes of medicine with words he couldn't understand.
Among them was a box that he recognized; it was the specially developed medicine that Pei Yan had given him in copy three.
That medicine costs tens of thousands per box.
Cheng Hao brought him a glass of water and said, "Sit down."
"Okay." Chu Chenan withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any longer, and sat down on the outermost side of the sofa.
With a casual glance, he saw that the trash can not far away was filled with gauze soaked in blood, and all kinds of bloody smells mixed with sour odors hit his face.
Cheng Hao asked: "When did you have this idea?"
Chu Chenan took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Hao blankly, stumped by the question.
Cheng Hao added, "Is it the idea of becoming a meat animal?"
Chu Chenan hesitated for a few seconds and made up a time, "...half a year ago."
Cheng Hao asked again: "Why?"
"Because I..." Chu Chenan nervously made up a story, "I have depression and live in pain every day. I want to die this way."
Cheng Hao looked at him expressionlessly, "Oh."
Chu Chenan asked: "What about you? When did you have this idea?"
Cheng Hao: "Two years ago, a few months after my family had a car accident."
Cheng Hao sat down opposite Chu Chenan and stated expressionlessly, "You should have heard about it, right? My family was in a traffic accident that year, and the video was uploaded to a foreign website and also to our school's post bar and forum."
Chu Chenan clenched his fingers and listened carefully.
"I've actually seen this video," Cheng Hao took off his glasses, "but rather than feeling sad, I feel more hatred. I hate those who made fun of and discussed the death of my family. Whenever I think of the video of my family's car accident being circulated and viewed over and over again by those people, I want to kill them..."
"But I can't kill them, because they are everywhere." Cheng Hao's eyes finally turned red, and he said, "I can even hear people talking about me when I go out for a meal. You may not understand that feeling, the feeling of being alone and being abandoned and spurned by the world."
Chu Chenan handed him a tissue.
"So I started to think about death and had this idea," Cheng Hao said. "I'm going to die anyway, so I want to die in the hands of my lover and make the most of my last bit of value."
Chu Chenan was very surprised, "Zhou Qiangshan is your lover?"
Cheng Hao nodded. "Yes, we have been together for more than a year. He promised me that he would respect my thoughts, that I could die whenever I wanted, and that he would eat me up after I died."
Chu Chenan recalled the social updates Zhou Qiangshan posted yesterday. He clearly called Cheng Hao "meat animal" and did not regard Cheng Hao as a lover at all. Instead, it seemed like he was showing off his food.
Chu Chenan: "Does Zhou Qiangshan love you?"
"Of course," Cheng Hao said, "otherwise why would I let him eat me?"
Chu Chenan: "You are his only lover."
Cheng Hao: "Of course."
"Then your injury yesterday was also..."
"Yes. I cut it myself. He ate my intestines." Cheng Hao stretched out his thumb and index finger to indicate, "It's about this long. You don't know how satisfied I was when I saw him eat it all without leaving a single bite."
Chu Chenan's scalp tingled, "Don't you feel any pain?"
“It hurts, but I enjoy it.”
Cheng Hao pointed at the medicine on the table and said, "Zhou Qiangshan is very concerned about me and bought me a lot of special research medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs, which are very expensive. My wound will heal soon. But I hope the wound heals more slowly. I enjoy the pain after paying..."
Chu Chenan listened and thought that Cheng Hao might have been brainwashed by Zhou Qiangshan and was already terminally ill.
He knew that it was hard to imagine how lonely and helpless Cheng Hao must be to believe the instigation of an unprepossessing middle-aged man.
He said, "He gave me his business card yesterday. Do you mind?"
Cheng Hao shook his head, trusting Zhou Qiangshan completely, "He told me that he wanted to introduce you to this circle, he had no other intentions."
【bite! 】
[Congratulations, Task 1 has been activated successfully! 】
[In this world, there is a special and deformed group hidden. Most of them are in a romantic relationship, where one party is willing to be eaten and the other party is also happy to eat, which is similar to "ice love". This is a morbid psychology of curiosity, and the ultimate goal is to torture and kill the loved one in order to achieve complete possession at one time. 】
[This is a manifestation of mental illness and should not be tolerated by human society. However, they still gather together, lurking in the dark, waiting for the next prey and meat to appear. 】
[Task 1: Find the hiding place of this circle in the giant ship and expose their crimes. 】
Chu Chenan swallowed his saliva. No wonder the difficulty level of the mission in this copy was so high.
"Don't you have a boyfriend? I heard that you two are in a good relationship." Cheng Hao drank a few sips of warm water, not quite understanding, "Even if you have depression, why would you want to find another butcher."
Chu Chenan was confused, "What?"
What boyfriend? ?
【bite! 】
【Congratulations on activating an item card. 】
A card flashed before Chu Chenan's eyes. The golden card automatically flipped over, with the words "ID Card" written on it.
[In view of the fact that the protagonist Jiang Lin's contribution value in previous tasks is higher than his character value, the system is considering giving him another chance to complete the task. 】
[In this dungeon world, he will have a brand new game identity and become your nominal boyfriend, helping you complete dungeon tasks together. 】
Chu Chenan felt as if he was struck by lightning, and he opened his eyes wide.
Jiang Lin?
Is the previous protagonist player going to be resurrected? !
Will Qin Jue let him go if he finds out? ? ?
He really doesn't need this prop card!
Chu Chenan had to quickly end the conversation with Cheng Hao, ran back to the room, and looked through the address book that came with his in-game identity.
The person named "Jiang Lin" was really found.
He clicked to check their call records.
Empty.
It seems that the character of Jiang Lin was also temporarily created by the system, and Jiang Lin should retain his original memory.
He clicked on the item card to check Jiang Lin's new game character information:
Jiang Lin, who was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident five years ago, is the eldest son of the chairman of the real estate business of XX Group. I met you at the newspaper three years ago, and you two confirmed your relationship two years ago.
To outsiders, your relationship seems to be very good. But in fact, you don’t have any intimate contact, you are just a couple in name only.
Chu Chenan exited the backstage, and it could be seen that the system had a strong desire to survive when shaping Jiang Lin’s new character.
In order to prevent Qin Jue from going crazy and destroying the game world out of jealousy, he deliberately portrayed Jiang Lin as a paralyzed patient and repeatedly emphasized that he and Jiang Lin were only lovers in name only.
He sighed and exited the system control panel.
…
The evening is perfect for a walk on the beach.
The seaside scenery is beautiful and many people come to the beach to play.
Liang Ruoxue changed into a sexy and sweet swimsuit and played in the water with Gong Jian and others.
Chu Chenan specially found a small bucket and looked for beautiful shells along the coastline.
He had thought that those beautiful shells would have been picked up almost all, but today he unexpectedly discovered that there were many more beautiful shells on the coast.
The coastline also became shallower, and he walked further away along the path where the shells were distributed.
Every few meters he would squat down and pick one up, and occasionally he would pick out similar shells.
He changed into a loose-fitting vacation shirt with a light blue print, the same color as the blue sea.
He picked up the trash so carefully that he didn't even notice that he was moving away from the coastline.
After his bucket was full, he stood up and looked back. He blinked and realized that he had walked a long way and seemed to have forgotten the direction he came from.
The sea breeze blew up his little curly hair, making him look dazed. He held a bucket and turned around to look at the sea ahead.
Suddenly, a yacht appeared not far away. Qin Jue was sitting on it with his legs crossed. When his eyes met his, he smiled leisurely.
He raised his glass and asked Chu Chenan if he wanted to take his yacht back.
Chu Chenan's bucket was piled high with shells, and a shell suddenly fell out.
He seemed to have been fooled.
…
Chu Chenan got on Qin Jue's yacht. He and Qin Jue sat face to face, and Qin Jue poured him a glass of red wine.
Chu Chenan refused, "Thank you, I don't drink."
He didn't hesitate and poured himself a glass of boiled water.
Qin Jue smiled and stared at him, "Do you like that bouquet of roses?"
"What roses?" Chu Chen pretended to be stupid. He glanced at the waves not far away, "I don't like flowers."
Qin Jueshen smiled but said nothing.
"Sorry, I thought you would like it." Qin Jue looked at his hair that was blown by the sea breeze, propped up his chin and looked at him, "Each rose in that bouquet is worth 3,333 US dollars."
Chu Chenan was choked. He didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"I think only the most expensive flowers can match you." Qin Jue said.
Chu Chenan didn't say anything else. His earlobes were red and he glanced at the sea not far away.
No one spoke along the way.
Qin Jue looked at him and slowly drank a glass of red wine.
Chu Chenan looked at the coastline and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
…
When the yacht arrived at the destination, Chu Chenan immediately thanked them and fled.
He even forgot to take his little bucket of shells.
Qin Jue watched him leave and laughed out loud.
His eyes followed Chu Chenan, his eagle eyes were full of gloomy determination and desire, but after the sweet feeling in his heart passed, he looked at Chu Chenan's departing back. But I felt inexplicably lost.
Qin Jue returned to the hotel carrying the shells picked up by Chu Chenan.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the hotel. Below the tall building were the bright lights of thousands of homes and the hustle and bustle of traffic.
He held a glass of wine and answered the phone, "Did you find out?"
"I found out, Boss." The secretary on the other end of the phone said, "Chu Chenan, 26 years old this year, graduated from A University of Communication, currently works at Qiwenshe, recently took annual leave to travel, the location is Xingchen Ship, currently... suspected to have a spouse."
"What did you say?" Qin Jue clenched the wine glass in his hand and stood up suddenly.
The secretary paused, then answered timidly, "He currently has a partner, who is also a man."
Qin Jue felt a splitting headache, and the certainty in his heart disappeared in an instant, and the wine glass was smashed against the floor-to-ceiling window.
The cup broke into pieces, and the fragments scattered all over the floor.
How dare you.
How dare he.
The severe pain in his head made fragments of memory flash through his mind, and he saw Chu Chenan, squatting obediently in the snow, holding a handful of snow, smiling and wanting to show it to him.
The scene was spinning.
He recalled one morning.
Chu Chenan lay in his arms, opened his beautiful eyes, and his image was reflected in his eyes. He hugged Chu Chenan tightly and kissed his soft lips.
These fragments of memory are blurry, but they all remind him.
That's his.
It's his.
…
Chu Chenan suddenly sneezed. As soon as he returned to the room, he took a shower and lay down comfortably. He closed his eyes and turned over in confusion.
Just as he was feeling sleepy, the phone beside the bed suddenly rang, interrupting his daydreaming.
He tilted his head, moved his body, closed his eyes and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Chu." The voice on the other end was hoarse.
Chu Chenan woke up immediately. He opened his eyes and saw that it was a call from Qin Jue.
"What can I do for you?"
"Nothing important." Qin Jue said lazily, "It's just that your phone is still here with me."
Chu Chen sat up and went to the sofa in the outer room to search the pockets of his spare clothes.
Is it really gone? !
How is that possible? It was just in his pocket.
"Can you come get it when you have time?" Qin Jue's voice was dull, mixed with laughter, "My room is just upstairs from yours, not far away, I can ask the waiter to give you my room card."
