The two of them stared at each other in a strange posture.
Looking at the young man who was pressing on him and protecting him tightly, Bai Li's mind was rarely blank. The warm time he spent with the Supreme in the past seemed to be slowly fading away. A pair of dark golden eyes covered these memories with a strong attitude, and there were also a few strands of silver hair in between.
This time, he saw Wen Xingyao's full appearance. It was not the illusory character image in the holographic game, but a concrete, real person that he could touch.
Seeing Wen Xingyao's true face for the second time, Bai Li had a completely new experience. It was not like in the game, they were strangers, he didn't know his identity, and he wasn't interested in his background. Now, he knew Wen Xingyao's identity, how he appeared beside him, and he knew that he was doing this to protect him.
However, why did his heartbeat tend to speed up when he was looked at like this?
Maybe it’s because he just narrowly escaped a major crisis?
Bai Li looked directly at Wen Xingyao, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Um... can you get off me first?"
When Wen Xingyao heard Bai Li say this, he was still in a wonderful state of rapid fusion of human memory and childhood memory. His dependence and love for Bai Li in his childhood and the faint affection for Bai Li that had arisen in the game at some point converged in this process, forming another, stronger emotion.
This also resulted in the fact that when he looked at Bai Li, his eyes were burning without him realizing it.
Can you get off me first?
Get off me, please?
Are you coming down...
What a terrible line!
Bai Li's words were like a cool breeze that poured into Wen Xingyao's mind, causing him to shudder all over. He came to his senses instantly and hurriedly stopped his actions. After he stood up straight, he reached out and pulled Bai Li up from the ground.
"You, are you okay?" Wen Xingyao looked at Bai Li's arms wrapped in long sleeves, wondering if the skin there had turned blue and purple because of the previous fight.
When he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, secretly hating that he didn't stop the stinky fox and catch it to teach it a lesson. But at that time, Bai Li's safety was more important, and the rest didn't matter.
"Thank you, it's okay, I was not hurt by him." In order to reassure Wen Xingyao, Bai Li even rolled up his sleeves on both sides to let the other party see clearly that there were indeed no wounds on them, not even any bruises.
The two thin arms and the dazzlingly white skin made Wen Xingyao dare not linger on them for too long. He took a quick glance and then glanced away.
"Are you okay with suddenly turning back into human form like this?" Bai Li thought of something and leaned close to Wen Xingyao and asked in a low voice.
A few days ago, Wen Xingyao told him about many situations of "Genetic Collapse Syndrome", including the information that orcs who had entered the late stage of collapse syndrome, that is, after turning back into their childhood, could never return to human form.
But now, Wen Xingyao has undergone a second transformation in broad daylight. If someone sees it, wouldn’t it become a major event that shocks the entire empire?
Wen Xingyao also thought about the possible follow-up of this incident. He looked around and felt relieved for the time being. He told Bai Li: "The place where we are is a surveillance blind spot. No one else passed by during this process. The robot patrol police have already chased the black fox. It is safe here for the time being. However, to be on the safe side, shall we go home first?"
The last word seemed to have gone through countless twists and turns in the young man's mouth before it sounded calmly uttered.
Bai Li did not notice anything unusual in Wen Xingyao's tone. He nodded in agreement and led the way forward.
As they walked, they chatted quietly with others: "I just saw that our game cabin was damaged. It looks like it can't be repaired. We have to buy a new one... no, two. There is also the holographic game builder. I don't know if the chip inside is broken. If the chip is broken, the game will probably have problems. But I heard from Xiong Pili and the others that the shell of the builder is made of the most durable material, so it shouldn't be so easy to break."
"By the way, that huge black beast was actually a fox. It was so big that I couldn't recognize it. It actually had several tails. It must be an orc, too?"
Wen Xingyao listened to Bai Li quietly and answered his questions promptly when he asked them: "Yes, it's a fox named Zhu Moling. I don't know why he came to this planet and became like this."
After saying this, he frowned, feeling that something was not good.
"Zhu Moling? Do you know this person? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let him go like this..." After hearing Wen Xingyao's words, Bai Li looked up suddenly, his tone shocked and his eyes full of disbelief.
He quickly thought about it in his mind. He and Wen Xingyao were attacked by a giant beast. At the critical moment, Wen Xingyao unexpectedly recovered his human form and used the fire on his body to drive away the giant beast. As a result, Wen Xingyao told him that he knew who the giant beast was, and the conversation seemed quite familiar. But even though they were acquaintances, he still calmly let him leave without even giving him a few glances.
I always feel that this is not something Wen Xingyao would do.
He reasonably suspected that the orc named "Zhu Moling" might have a grudge against Wen Xingyao?
Bai Li's expression changed again and again in just a few breaths, which made Wen Xingyao laugh. He had to explain: "He is the patriarch of the Sky Fox Clan. He must have special people protecting him. And he has regained some consciousness just now. It's only a matter of time for him to calm down. You don't have to worry too much."
Both of their families lived on the main star of the empire, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star". They had met each other several times when they were young and could barely talk to each other. However, Wen Xingyao did not know much about Zhu Moling. The only thing that impressed him was that he was a brother-con. Unfortunately, his brother entered the late stage of "gene collapse syndrome" earlier than him, and disappeared after being sent to "Hope Star". After that, Zhu Moling's personality became extreme, and he spent most of the year looking for his brother.
The other members of the Sky Fox Clan not only did not blame him for not caring about clan affairs as the clan leader, but they joined in the fun, all of them were very worried about the missing young master.
It turned out to be the clan leader... Bai Li felt relieved and no longer worried about their "not helping". The clan leader, who had a large group of bodyguards to protect him, didn't need the two of them to go and help him.
When he got home, he found that the room was seriously damaged, and the game room looked even worse. Fortunately, the holographic game builder was still intact, and the players in the game didn't have to be kicked out by the system suddenly while playing. This discovery made Bai Li feel relieved, because games were his source of income.
Whether you can buy an agricultural planet in the future depends on it!
The condition of the house gave Bai Li a headache. He rubbed his forehead, found the contact information of the rental company in his address book, and discussed the matters of repair and compensation with them.
Wen Xingyao was standing next to Bai Li. His straight military uniform made him look taller and his legs longer. He also realized that the room that used to look big was actually very small. Just two grown men standing straight together made it feel cramped. He frowned and suddenly felt that he and Bai Li should not continue to live here.
Besides, safety was not guaranteed. They were lucky today. He regained consciousness and turned back into human form in a hurry, forcing the black fox to retreat. But if they were unlucky, Bai Li might get hurt if he was alone.
After thinking for a while, Wen Xingyao said to Bai Li: "Bai Li, let's move to another place?"
Bai Li's mind was still filled with a long list of bills from the rental company. He was dizzy and slow to react. He blinked in confusion and replied subconsciously, "It should be changed. They promised me to change a room for me and will arrange for someone to come and move us in a while."
"No, that's not what I meant by 'change'." Wen Xingyao explained patiently, "What I meant is that we can buy a house and move in instead of continuing to rent a house in this old neighborhood."
This time, Bai Li understood. Although he was tempted, he still shook his head slowly: "No, I also want to buy a house, but that will be next month, and I don't have enough money now."
It cannot be said that the money is not enough, as there is still more than one million. However, Bai Li occasionally glances at the income from the game background, and he is eager to buy a bigger house. He is ready to go house hunting as soon as the money is withdrawn next month. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen at the end of the month.
"It's okay. I can buy one and we can live together." Wen Xingyao said calmly as he was used to spending a lot of money in the game.
However, Bai Li refused: "That won't work. You will be going back later. How can I let you spend money to buy a house just for a few days? I'll buy it, but you need to wait a few more days. You will have to continue to live in a rental house with me for the next few days."
Actually, there was a hotel outside, and if all else failed, they could just stay in a hotel. But for some reason, they both ignored this option.
Bai Li’s answer was somewhat depressing.
Wen Xingyao was silent for a few seconds, then made another suggestion: "How about I lend you the money, and you pay me back next month?"
"The money to buy a house is not a small amount. Aren't you afraid that I can't pay it back or simply won't pay it back to you?" Bai Li asked curiously, secretly looking at Wen Xingyao, as if looking at the stupid son of a landlord.
"You won't." Wen Xingyao said firmly, "I still believe in my judgment of people. What's your terminal number? I'll add you."
Bai Li stopped talking and looked at Wen Xingyao a few more times. Seeing that he was very persistent and thinking that his need to buy a house was indeed urgent, he agreed and added the other party as a terminal friend.
Before he could ask if he wanted to sign an electronic agreement first, Wen Xingyao transferred the money. The number "5" was followed by a long string of zeros, which made Bai Li dizzy and almost blacked out.
"Fifty million?? Why would you give so much?" Bai Li said that he really didn't understand the world of rich people.
"Is fifty million a lot?" Wen Xingyao was also somewhat puzzled, and calmly arranged, "Since we are going to buy a house, let's buy a good one, a big one, one with more space for us to farm."
Bai Li: “…”
Buying a house just to farm? That's a big idea.
But, it is indeed very exciting.
