Chapter 41 Platinum Supermarket "I don't mind if you sleep next to me."...
Shi Yu quickly realized why Shen Su had asked that question.
"I guess so." Shi Yu nodded, then added, "The item descriptions are probably randomly generated by the system. I haven't used the items before, so I don't know what their functions are."
Shen Su didn't reply, and clicked another icon.
Item Name: [Broken Sugar Granules]
Item description: A product with an unknown production date and no manufacturer information.
Item function: Replenishes 1 point of energy.
Attack method: None
"What is this?" Shen Su asked, frowning.
"Don't you remember?" Shi Yu tilted his head slightly, looking into Shen Su's unreadable eyes with a hint of surprise. He said, "The candy you gave me in the last dungeon."
Chen Su: "Oh."
I never knew that the candy I gave away was preserved so carefully.
Although Shen Su didn't say anything, his mood calmed down a bit. But when he heard Shi Yu's next sentence, he felt his blood pressure spike again.
Shi Yu: "I've already apologized to Lin Feng."
Shen Su: "..."
“In the previous dungeon, Lin Fengbai couldn’t taste anything else, but he could taste that candy, so I gave it to him,” Shi Yu continued. “Later in this dungeon, it might be inconvenient to carry it, so he temporarily stored the candy in my inventory.”
He remained silent throughout the night.
Shi Yu followed Shen Su's gaze to the game panel and immediately understood. He comforted him, "The item descriptions are just made up by the system. Don't worry about it. I believe your candy isn't a counterfeit product."
Shen Su remained silent.
Shi Yu: "?"
What's going on with Chen Su today?
"You've seen my game panel, shouldn't you let me see yours too?"
Shi Yu closed his game panel and took the initiative to start a conversation.
Actually, he didn't really want to see Shen Su's game panel, but it wasn't good for Shen Su to stay silent.
Shen Su generously opened the game panel to show him, saying, "My inventory is very clean; I don't put all sorts of random things in there."
Shi Yu: "?"
Why does that sound so sarcastic?
"careful!"
The two guys behind them were fighting each other and ended up here. Their axes almost hit Chen Su, but Shi Yu pulled Chen Su back in time. The two guys seemed not to hear anything and continued fighting in the other direction.
Shen Su was completely unconcerned about almost getting chopped by an axe; what mattered to him was something else entirely. He tilted his head at Shi Yu and asked, "So worried about me?"
Shi Yu wanted to retort, "You're so narcissistic," but then she realized that this wasn't the time to joke around.
“You saved me just now too.” Shi Yu looked earnestly into Shen Su’s eyes, which were like a lake under the moonlight—dark, calm, and without a ripple. His tone was equally serious. “We’re even.”
Throwing objects from high-rise buildings is dangerous, and the consequences of throwing people from high-rise buildings and hitting them are even more unimaginable.
That makes it even.
Chen Su said, "Oh."
"Let's leave here first and find a safe place." Shi Yu couldn't understand why Shen Su was unhappy, so he simply ignored it. He reached out to pull Shen Su, but the other person dodged to the side.
After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Su had already walked past him.
Shi Yu: "?"
Why is Shen Su acting so strangely today?
However, considering that the other party was a month younger than him and could be considered his younger brother, he didn't hold it against Shen Su.
The city is densely populated, and there are NPCs fighting each other everywhere on the streets. Fortunately, these NPCs only kill each other and not innocent players, so the two of them are relatively safe walking on the main road.
However, to avoid being found by other players, one cannot linger on the road for too long.
With road traffic paralyzed and cars unable to move, they found a motorcycle abandoned on the roadside.
"You can ride a motorcycle?" Shi Yu was a little surprised to see Shen Su straddle the motorcycle with his long legs and look very skilled, because she had never seen Shen Su ride a motorcycle before.
Shen Su lit a fire and put the only helmet on Shi Yu's head, demonstrating to Shi Yu whether he could ride it or not.
"Come on up!"
Shi Yu didn't hesitate for long before getting on the back of the motorcycle.
This was a modified motorcycle with a short, upturned tail, making it difficult to hold. Shi Yu had no choice but to grab Shen Su's clothes at the waist. This time, Shen Su didn't dodge, but he couldn't dodge anyway.
Warm palms covered Shi Yu's two hands and pulled them forward. Shi Yu tried to pull her hands back as if she had been electrocuted, but Chen Su said, "I'm wearing a bathrobe. If you pull it like that, my bathrobe will fall apart."
Shi Yu: "..."
Oh, I forgot to find some clothes for Chen Su first; it doesn't look very good to escape in a bathrobe.
The motorcycle sped off in a flash.
Shi Yu wrapped his arms around Shen Su's waist, and could vaguely feel the hard abdominal muscles under his hands.
The car was moving very fast, the wind was whistling past my ears, and the night view on both sides of the road flashed by.
Shi Yu was somewhat afraid of speed and had never ridden in such a "meat wrapped in iron" mode of transportation before. He closed his eyes and buried his face in Shen Su's back, and his arms unconsciously tightened. The outline of his abdominal muscles under his hands became more obvious, rising and falling with his breath, very vivid and powerful.
He actually ended up sitting on the back of Shen Su's motorcycle one day.
—It was a truly novel experience.
"We were even before." Through the whistling wind and the helmet, Chen Su's cool voice drifted from the front seat, "Now that I'm giving you a ride on my motorcycle, you owe me another favor."
Shi Yu: "?"
Shi Yu slightly opened his eyes. The motorcycle's excessive speed blurred the surrounding night scene. He closed his eyes again, buried his face in Chen Su's back once more, and after trying to hold back, he couldn't help but say, "Could you slow down a bit?"
Shen Su's chest trembled slightly, as if he were letting out a soft laugh. "Aren't we running for our lives?"
Yes, they're running for their lives.
Shouldn't we help each other while escaping for our lives? What do you mean by "I gave you a ride on my motorcycle, so you owe me a favor"?
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Shi Yu didn't say anything more, but tightened her arms around Shen Su's waist.
He kept his eyes closed the whole way and didn't notice that the speed had slowed down. The motorcycle maintained a relatively safe speed and drove smoothly for the rest of the journey.
They left the city and found a deserted factory in the sparsely populated suburbs to stay temporarily.
The factory used to be a garment factory, with discarded clothes and scraps everywhere, several rusty machines, and cobwebs on the windows and doors. The water and electricity were cut off, but fortunately, there was an emergency light in the fire cabinet in addition to the fire extinguisher.
The two of them took emergency lights and toured the entire factory. The factory was not large, but the walls were quite high. With the iron gates closed, it was relatively safe. There were a front gate and a back gate, which would make it easy to escape in case of an emergency.
Finally, they settled on the factory owner's office, where there was a table, an executive chair, a long sofa, and a simple wardrobe containing a gray suit with a shirt, vest, jacket, and trousers. The suit also had a dust cover, which was perfect for Chen Su to change into.
Shen Su changed into a suit, moved his arms, and said, "It's a little small."
The main problem was that the shoulders were a bit tight, which would make it difficult to move around in case of an emergency. So Chen Su took off his coat, leaving him in just a white shirt and gray trousers.
When Shen Su was in college, he also loved to wear pure white shirts. Paired with his smiling eyes and little tiger teeth, he looked particularly innocent and easy to fool. If Shi Yu hadn't known since childhood that he was a sesame seed inside, she would have been deceived by his appearance.
"Is it strange?" Shen Su noticed Shi Yu's gaze. He circled around in front of Shi Yu and muttered to himself, "After all, it's someone else's clothes. I feel strange wearing them too. Oh well, it's a special time. I'll just have to make do."
Shi Yu didn't reply; he opened the game panel and glanced at the time.
00:45 am
The system releases the instance merge information at midnight, giving players six hours to act. This means they need to wait here until 6 a.m. to be considered safe.
The factory had been abandoned for too long, and even the boss's office was covered in dust. Shen Su found two rags and wiped the long sofa several times until there was no dust left. He sat down and said to Shi Yu, "Come on, take a rest."
Shi Yu walked over and sat down next to Shen Su.
It was called a long sofa, but it was only big enough for two adults to sit on. Two people with long legs would inevitably sit together with their legs touching. Shen Su was warm, and the warmth of the other person's body could be continuously transmitted through the fabric. Shi Yu couldn't help but think of the feel of Shen Su's abdominal muscles and his solid back.
Shi Yu was a little reluctant to sit with Shen Su, but the only other thing in the room besides the sofa was the executive chair. The executive chair hadn't been cleaned and was covered in dust. He couldn't possibly kick Shen Su off the sofa, since Shen Su was the one who cleaned it.
"Get some sleep, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night." Shen Su patted his shoulder. "I don't mind if you sleep next to me."
Shen Su didn't mind.
Shi Yu minded, so he politely declined.
Shi Yu leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, trying to rest, but drowsiness gradually overcame him, and he couldn't control his sleeping position anymore. When he woke up, he found that his head was still resting on Shen Su's shoulder, and he was covered with the suit jacket that Shen Su thought was too small.
"You weren't drooling, were you?" Shen Su's words instantly banished Shi Yu's sleepiness. "I don't mind if you sleep with your head on my shoulder, but if you drool on my shoulder, then..."
"No!" Shi Yu interrupted abruptly.
He held up the emergency light and carefully inspected Chen Su's white shirt; there wasn't a single water stain on it.
This person is talking nonsense and being inappropriate again.
It was 3 a.m., just in time for the shift change. Shi Yu straightened up and said, "I'll keep watch for the second half of the night. You can get some sleep too."
"Hmm." Shen Su crossed his arms and closed his eyes without any hesitation. A few minutes later, he opened them again and asked Shi Yu seriously, "Can I sleep with my head on your lap?"
Shi Yu didn't understand at first.
When he finally realized what was happening: "…………"
After a full three minutes, Yu finally spoke, her voice somewhat stiff: "You can lean on my shoulder to sleep."
"But I'm taller than you, so it'll be uncomfortable and I'll easily get a stiff neck..." Shen Su muttered to himself for a moment, then gave up and said, "Forget it, I'll just take a nap like this."
Shi Yu clenched his fists tightly at his sides, then loosened them, then clenched them again, then loosened them again... He leaned against Shen Su's shoulder and back, and even touched Shen Su's abs. In a way, he was the one who got the better deal.
Finally, Shi Yu let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had made up her mind.
"All right."
