But clearly, even so, Chu Liang and Cheng Li were both willing to stay in the same room as Gu Xinghe.
Lying on the bench covered with dark red velvet, the bench, which was neither spacious nor particularly soft, seemed unsuitable for sleeping.
However, Cheng Li did not feel much discomfort above this.
At this moment, she repeatedly traced the white spider web that appeared on her arm.
Before Cheng Li was asleep in her dream and struggled to wake up.
Most of her blood vessels and meridians had already been eaten away by maggots.
Or rather, compared to Fang Jie, who died quietly.
Cheng Li was able to wake up after vaguely sensing the insects feeding.
At the time, when Cheng Li was being repaired, the spider silk of the red jade spider was used to "sew" her body.
In fact, some of her blood vessels replaced her own, piecing together her broken flesh.
Compared to the white thread commonly used for sewing and weaving, this spider silk feels much softer to the touch.
But at the same time, the white spider silk was also much stronger, and no matter how she hooked it, it was not broken.
Cheng Li was seen using her index fingertip to pick up the slightly raised sewing thread that was visible on her forearm.
Then she let the small, incredibly flexible line bounce off after she released it, continuing to cling tightly to her skin.
Despite it being such a boring pastime, Cheng Li kept picking up and flicking the spider silk off her arms.
At this moment, she was engaging in what she considered to be a very interesting form of entertainment.
Cheng Li carefully sensed the room, even though it couldn't be directly seen.
But they were actually spider webs hidden beneath the walls, supporting the entire house.
Compared to sleeping in the same bed with Fang Jie before, her sleeping conditions now, alone on the narrow bench, are undoubtedly worse.
But for Cheng Li now, these external material conditions are no longer worth considering.
Inside the house entangled in cobwebs, Gu Xinghe still exists.
In Cheng Li's mind, all of this was already the most perfect thing.
Apart from--
At this moment, Cheng Li glanced at Chu Liang, who seemed somewhat superfluous in her heart, with a hint of disdain.
The other person seemed to be too scared to sleep after witnessing that terrifying scene.
Cheng Li gave a disdainful sneer.
Then she decided to stop looking at this person, whom she considered somewhat cowardly and superfluous.
Instead, she cast her lingering gaze at Gu Xinghe, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
[Originally, it was just Chu Liang alone, but now that Brother Gu has rescued Cheng Li, has she fallen for him too?]
Is this the ultimate level of being universally appealing? So now it's actually Brother Gu and his two simps?
Don't belittle them like that, or say they're just pretty faces and tools?
[That's right, even a vase has some looks! Anyway, all the players in this dungeon are truly a feast for the eyes.]
However, Gu Xinghe was not asleep yet; he was just listening to the discussions in the live stream for a while before going to sleep, as was his habit.
Just like some people like to listen to the radio or read a book before going to bed.
For Gu Xinghe, listening to a live broadcast before going to sleep is a way to relax after coming into this world.
And then he felt Cheng Li looking at him.
He simply opened his eyes and glanced at her calmly, without any emotion.
Upon noticing Gu Xinghe's gaze, Cheng Li obediently lowered her head.
She suppressed her desire to look at Gu Xinghe and stopped the boring yet amusing activity she had been doing.
She even unconsciously relaxed her breathing rhythm, making the room more tranquil and suitable for falling asleep.
But she noticed that even after lowering his head, the other person's eyes were full of affection and longing.
With his skills, Gu Xinghe was able to see through Cheng Li's thoughts and emotions.
Looking back now, they were all his relatives.
Although Carol and Lekaya are quite attached to him, they still retain their complete independent thinking.
You could tell from the way they spent time together at the cat cafe.
Their demeanor was exactly the same as when they were together at school.
But now Cheng Li is acting like a madwoman, chasing after all sorts of things related to Gu Xinghe and the Red Jade Spider.
Even between him and Cheng Li, there was the presence of the Red Jade Spider.
Compared to Carol and Rekaya, who were directly controlled by him, neither of them reached Cheng Li's obsessive attitude.
The contrasting behavior between the two sides led Gu Xinghe to wonder if it was because Cheng Li was not a native of this world.
Therefore, having lived in this world for a relatively short time, her resistance to pollution is naturally not as high as that of Carol and Rekaya.
It's unclear whether there's any way to mitigate this impact in the future.
After all, given Cheng Li's current mental state, which clearly indicates a lack of normalcy, she wouldn't be able to play a significant role.
At this point, after waking up in the middle of the night, it was clearly still some time before dawn.
After considering all this and confirming that nothing else should happen tonight, Gu Xinghe lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
But compared to Cheng Li, who didn't want to go to sleep so early because she was living under the same roof as Gu Xinghe.
And Chu Liang, who couldn't sleep at all after witnessing that horrific scene.
It seems that only Gu Xinghe is able to sleep so peacefully in this room tonight.
The next morning.
After a good night's rest, Gu Xinghe woke up to find—
Chu Liang, with dark circles under his eyes, looked like he had been having nightmares all night and hadn't slept well.
And, seemingly due to excessive bloodlust, he had been pale since last night.
However, Cheng Li did not show any discomfort; on the contrary, she was in better condition than when they first met.
“Knock knock knock—”
Just then, there was a knock on the front door.
When Gu Xinghe opened the door, he was not met with Blanco's urging to hurry to the insect hive base house.
Instead, it was Blanco and Sandy carrying hoes and other various planting tools.
It was the same as the first impression Gu Xinghe had of the other person when they first met.
Compared to the town's administrators, Blanco and Sandy are more like working people in the fields.
However, when they first met, Gu Xinghe noticed Sandy's noticeably pale skin.
At this point, after putting on clothes that made work easier, the contrast between Blanco and Sandy became even more apparent.
