Chapter 430 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui looked exhausted. It wasn't that he thought his grandfather was bad, but he couldn't feel any real warmth from his grandfather. He might have felt some when he was a child, but ever since Xue Zhengyang had problems with his mother, and as he grew up, his grandfather's attitude towards him became more and more rigid and formulaic.
Every time he returned to the old house, his grandfather would either ask about his studies or about the company, just like a superior and subordinate. The atmosphere in the old house was very stiff. He knew that his grandfather cared about him, but he still felt a little suffocated. He was really too tired.
As Xue Rui pondered, his body slowly tilted, and he leaned against Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou was completely stunned; he actually… but he quickly came to his senses.
Lin Leyou glanced at Xue Rui cautiously, then adjusted her position slightly, letting the rarely vulnerable Xue Rui lean against her chest. The two of them didn't say a word and spent the quiet night like this.
Perhaps feeling safe here, Xue Rui slowly fell asleep. Lin Leyou smiled slightly and let him sleep in her arms. For some reason, Lin Leyou could always think of Xue Rui from her previous life.
But he quickly realized that Xue Rui in front of him was not the unattainable person from his previous life, but a close friend.
It wasn't until almost six o'clock that Lin Leyou gently woke him up, saying, "It's almost six o'clock."
Xue Rui was still a little confused when he opened his eyes. After a while, his eyes focused and he realized that he seemed to have been sleeping in Lin Leyou's arms for several hours!
"Six...six o'clock?"
Lin Leyou suppressed a laugh, "There are still five minutes left, we can go to the staff cafeteria for lunch first."
Xue Rui thought for a moment and nodded, "Then...then I'll go down first."
Lin Leyou, "Are you coming again tonight?"
That's a very good question...
Xue Rui's face flushed slightly. "I...we'll see." With that, he opened the window and leaped out, giving off a sense of fleeing in panic.
After he left, Lin Leyou realized what question he had asked. Although he didn't mean it that way, he felt that something was off about his question.
Forget it, the words are already out, and the person has already left. Should I chase after him now and tell him not to misunderstand? Wouldn't that just make things more complicated?
When Xue Rui arrived at the staff canteen, everyone had already gathered there. They were somewhat surprised to see Xue Rui come in through the window and asked him questions.
Xue Rui: "It's nothing. I had something to do upstairs. It'll be faster to come down from outside."
Although everyone thought the reason was a bit far-fetched, they were considerate enough not to press the matter. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and perhaps they had discovered something that was inconvenient to tell them.
But they never imagined that Xue Rui's absence all night wasn't due to doing something secretive, but rather because he went to the top floor to find the BOSS and even slept in the BOSS's arms.
Actually, if it were Lin Leyou himself, he definitely wouldn't be as good-looking as Xue Rui. Even if they were to sleep together, he would be the one snuggling in Xue Rui's arms. But...
As Xue Rui picked up his food, he thought about what Lin Leyou originally looked like. It seemed that he was indeed taller. Once they were more familiar with each other, he would definitely hold him in his arms and sleep with him for one night.
He was thinking this to himself as he ate, while Wang Fu was secretly watching him. For some reason, he felt that Xue Rui was acting strangely, both in his eyes and his expression.
Although he couldn't see anything clearly, he just felt something was off. Feelings are always subtle, and Wang Fu trusted his intuition, but he didn't dare to ask casually.
After all, Xue Rui looks like a young man experiencing his first love, so should he make a move? He didn't come back last night, could he have gone to a girl's place?
But the girls all stayed together last night. If Xue Rui had gone there, everyone would have known. So it definitely wasn't one of the women present. Who else could it be?
Those female NPCs in this instance? Are you kidding me? Only someone with his brain could come up with something so outrageous!
Wang Fu quickly banished such thoughts from his mind, even despising himself for a moment. He couldn't possibly imagine Xue Rui falling for an NPC in the dungeon!
After he calmed down, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff. He looked up slightly and saw Xue Rui's eyes on him. "You looked at me a little strangely just now. Is there something wrong?"
The others were also watching him while they ate. Everyone had noticed his strange expression earlier, and the way he kept glancing at Xue Rui meant he was definitely thinking something bad.
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan both moved a little further away, indicating that they didn't know this man at all, and went to chat and laugh with Hua Jiao and the others.
Wang Fu felt a little flustered under Xue Rui's gaze, but thankfully, Xue Rui didn't ask him any more questions and didn't make things difficult for him since he was just laughing it off.
Seeing him wash his food and eat, Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he always couldn't help but act silly. It seems he should tone it down a bit in the future. Although he had met Xue Rui before, he hadn't had much contact with him.
I never expected that he would also become a player, and a pro player at that, even more skilled than me. I had only managed to recruit two teammates with great difficulty, but Xue Rui had four, and each of them looked quite formidable.
As for the other teams, although they are also teams, they are more cooperative in nature, which is very different from their simple fixed captain and member model. Many other teams are scattered and can be disbanded at any time, while they are fixed teams.
Thinking of this, Wang Fu couldn't help but glance at Xue Rui again. This time, his gaze didn't hold any other meaning; he looked very serious. "Captain Xue?"
Xue Rui: "Get to the point."
Wang Fu: "Captain Xue, are you short of team members?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, then looked up at him. Of course, everyone else was looking at him too. This time, Wang Fu didn't think anything of it; there's strength in numbers!
They didn't trust anyone else, but they knew Xue Rui in the real world. If they could get together and run dungeons together often, wouldn't that be great? They could even step down and become the vice-captain.
Xue Rui, "You want to join my team? Become one of my players?"
Wang Fu stroked his chin, then looked at Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan, "Do you object?"
The two women exchanged a glance, then looked at Huajiao and the others. To be honest, they had gotten along quite well with them during this time. The two captains seemed to know each other and were quite familiar with each other, so they were obviously trustworthy. In that case... having a few partners seemed like a good thing.
Zhou Qiao: "If we can get together, of course there's no problem. We can team up to clear dungeons anytime in the future, and we won't have to worry about not having enough people."
There were only the three of them before. Sometimes some people wanted to go to the dungeon while others didn't, so there weren't enough people. And three people were still a bit too few. Even if you counted them all together, it was still not enough.
Huajiao's eyes lit up; now she could have two more good sisters!
Xue Rui, "Did the three of you report to the Administration Bureau?"
Wang Fu stared at him blankly, "Huh? Management Bureau? What Management Bureau?"
Sichuan peppercorns: "Don't you guys know about the Management Bureau? Doesn't your family own a company too?"
Wang Fu was stunned. "Does having a company in your family have anything to do with the Administration Bureau?"
Sichuan peppercorns: "It seems okay, alright, I misunderstood you."
Xue Rui said, “Since you haven’t reported to the Administration Bureau, you can take the two of them to the villa I bought to meet up. The four of them are currently living in this villa. I’m very busy and don’t have time to go, but you can contact me anytime.”
"Once you arrive at the villa, remember to contact me. I will personally take you to the management bureau to register and file a report. This will complete the official procedures. From now on, you must strictly follow the requirements."
Only after hearing this did Wang Fu realize that the government had established an administration bureau so early on to manage players like them. "Wow, the government is amazing!"
Xue Rui glanced at him. "Is it really settled then?"
What else could Wang Fu refuse? With a big shot like Xue Rui in front of him, he naturally had no objections. Besides, he still didn't know that the government actually had a management bureau.
Relieved, Wang Fu finally calmed his wildly beating heart. "Will I get arrested by the Bureau if I use props outside?"
Xue Rui said, "If you're so capable, then don't get discovered, don't get caught, and don't reveal your identity. Otherwise, you'll be arrested and locked up in a special prison. Even if you're released, you'll be given a special device. Once you're given this device, you won't be able to use any other devices or talents in the real world."
Wang Fu swallowed hard. "So, you'll be just like an ordinary person?"
Xue Rui: "That's right."
Wang Fu: "What if we encounter danger? Does that mean we still can't use it?"
Xue Rui: "It can be used in special circumstances, but you need to write a report and submit it to me. After I review it and find no problems, I will submit it to the police officer of the Administration Bureau."
Wang Fu, "Give it to you? Oh right, you're the captain, so it really should be given to you. Hmm?! In that case, is it okay..."
Xue Rui knew what he was thinking. "Impossible. I will handle this matter officially. Don't try to challenge my bottom line."
Wang Fu sighed, "Okay, I get it... I was originally planning to go out and show off a bit, but I didn't expect the country to act so quickly!"
Zhou Qiao and Zhao Wan rolled their eyes. They didn't want to know this person at all. They had only formed a team with him by chance. Now that they had better options, they would never team up with him again.
Xue Rui slept well last night and is in good spirits now. After having breakfast, he returned to his post. There's no point in working now, but he still completed his work for the day as usual.
After finishing, he began to leisurely stroll around the company. He had never seriously looked at the company during the day before, but now, after relaxing and taking a walk, he discovered that the company's management style...
