puff--
Wen Nan's teeth knocked down the Benedict egg that had just been put into his mouth and it was broken.
The golden egg liquid spurted out directly, splashing all over Wen Nan's hands, and even some of it splashed onto Yu Shujun's face.
"No, sorry, I didn't mean to spray."
Wen Nan hurriedly put down the toast covered with egg liquid, raised his hand, and went to help Yu Shujun wipe his face.
I already had a deep thought about the content of the 800-word trial report I needed to hand in to Alex.
Eggs Benedict are not suitable as a main course for brunch, especially when men and women dine together, because if the eggs are not handled properly, the juice inside can easily spray out, causing a disaster.
While thinking about something irrelevant, he stretched out his hand, but just as Wen Nan's fingertips were about to touch Yu Shujun's face, the other party turned his head away and dodged.
Yu Shujun stared at Wen Nan's eyes seriously, insisting that he give a clear answer: "Is it okay?"
No, it's already weird that you have to ask for consent if you want to pursue someone, but it's even weirder to ask the person involved to give an answer in such a serious manner.
To be honest, Wen Nan said that he had to think things through and he had no intention of keeping the other party in suspense. He estimated that he would be able to figure it out in three to five days, or one or two days, or even after a night's sleep.
With so little time, there is no need for the other party to make such a request.
Moreover, judging from Yu Shujun's pitifully little common sense, she probably didn't stay in her original copy for long.
After all, even a low-star female character like Qiqi was quickly assimilated by the players and became a veteran. Yu Shujun, a high-level character with such a strong learning ability, showed almost no signs of being assimilated. It was only under Wen Nan's suggestion that he began to make up for the knowledge...
It is obvious that she has never been "polluted" by the players. Although she has been pretending to be a player, she is purer than any other character.
What means could a woman like this use to pursue someone? Wen Nan was suddenly very curious, and the little evil flame deep in his heart was ignited. The corners of his lips curled up, and he couldn't suppress it, "Okay."
Yu Shujun finally felt relieved. He raised his hand to wipe the yellow liquid off his cheek, then picked up the knife and fork again and began to enjoy his breakfast in a serious manner.
Wen Nan smiled and shook his head. Thinking of another thing, his smile faded a little and he asked, "Xiaojun, do you have 2.5 fragments?"
Yu Shujun paused with his fork in his hand and nodded seriously, "Yes."
Wen Nan continued: "One transferred fragment, half a replica fragment..."
Wen Nan did not ask the last question, as he felt that the system might not allow him to ask it, and he was also afraid that the other party might not want to say it.
But Yu Shujun said bluntly: "And... this."
As she spoke, Yu Shujun placed her hand at her side, turned her wrist, and golden light immediately floated in her palm, quickly gathering into a lightsaber.
Wen Nan lowered his head and looked over, his sight falling on the familiar Root Breaker. Just as he was wondering, he looked more closely and discovered the mystery -
There was a gem inlaid on the hilt of the lightsaber.
Because it also flashed with subtle golden light, and merged with the light of the Genpo Zhan itself, Wen Nan did not pay much attention to its existence even though he had seen it several times. He just thought it was a pattern carved on the hilt, and did not realize that it was a gem embedded in the lightsaber and perfectly integrated with it.
On the surface of the gem, there is a tiny rune. Below the rune is a "○" and above it is a "丷", which looks like a face with two horns.
It's Taurus.
"Anchor of Solidity." Yu Shujun said a name, "It can turn illusions and certain units that should not exist in certain time and space into entities."
So awesome? Breaking through the dimensional wall?
I want to make Mai Sakurajima materialize in the real world. Is it possible?
Yu Shujun didn't understand the deep meaning in Wen Nan's eyes this time, "What's wrong?"
Wen Nan came back to his senses and asked, "Can you lend me this solid anchor?"
Seeing the other party cautiously asking her to borrow the fragment, Yu Shujun couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
How could a master have such an attitude when asking the character controlled by the pattern for something? If she really wanted it and if Yu Shujun could give it to her, there was no way she would refuse.
However, even if Yu Shujun wanted to give it, she couldn't.
"This fragment is currently in use and cannot be lent out." Yu Shujun replied truthfully.
Wen Nan nodded, showing his understanding. "You rely on this fragment to freely move between the game lobby and different dungeons?"
Although Yu Shujun's star level is high enough to leave her original copy, if no other players help her sign the agreement, how can she stay in this world that does not belong to her as a player?
I guess it’s all thanks to this piece of fragment.
But Yu Shujun slowly shook his head, "No, it's not just me."
If Yu Shujun herself needed the fragment, she could just stop using it temporarily and then lend it to the other party.
The problem now is that she used this fragment to help other members of her [Nameless] guild.
Because of the shared equipment library of the [Nameless] Guild, and the fact that the Scepter fragment has higher priority than the dungeon, those members can share the benefits of this fragment with Yu Shujun. Therefore, at this moment, they can complete tasks in other dungeons as players like Yu Shujun.
If Yu Shujun forcibly stops using the "Anchor of Solidification" now, without the protection of the fragments, their identities will be judged as violations by the system and they will face the risk of being recalled and sent to the furnace.
Therefore, Yu Shujun had no way to forcibly terminate the use of this fragment.
But Yu Shujun didn't know how to explain these things to Wen Nan.
This involves several other members of the [Anonymous] Guild, but the identities of those members are really special. If they were to tell Wen Nan everything, I'm afraid a lot of secrets would be leaked.
It would be fine if it was just about matters within the [Unnamed] guild, and Yu Shujun could make the decision on his own, but the interests of many other guilds were involved. Yu Shujun did not have the right to decide on his own whether this information could be disclosed to a third party.
Just as I was struggling with the idea, I heard the person next to me burst into laughter.
Yu Shujun turned around blankly and looked at the man, and saw that he took a sweet potato fry and put it to her mouth, "Just find a topic to talk about, there is no need to be so nervous, this is good, try it?"
Yu Shujun lowered her eyes and looked at the fried sweet potato fry that the other party handed over. It was thicker and longer than her finger. For a moment, she wanted to open her mouth to take it, but she finally restrained herself. She just raised her hand, carefully pinched the other end, and took it in her own hand, "Thank you."
Wen Nan lowered her eyes and looked at the French fry that was sticking out at her fingertips. She was silent for a moment, shook her head, and smiled helplessly.
Yu Shujun frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
Wen Nan raised his hand, sucked the oil and salt from the fries on his fingertips, and replied casually: "Nothing."
Yu Shujun was about to ask something else when Wen Nan's phone rang.
Caller ID [Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition)].
Wen Nan picked up the phone and heard a coquettish voice from the other end shouting, "Hubby~ where have you been? Did you get up and go to the office by yourself? Did you just leave without even giving me a good morning kiss? I'm so sad that you're like this."
Wen Nan couldn't help but glance at the people around him. Seeing that Yu Shujun had already stood up and started to clean up the dishes, he replied, "I haven't left yet. I just finished the new breakfast prepared by Alex. I will be back soon."
"You'd better hurry up, or I'll be in a bad mood. I'm hanging up now." At the end, he added, "Brush your teeth first before coming to bed. I don't want to taste Alex's innovative dishes. I'll have diarrhea."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Shujun had already brought the tray and turned to walk out, "I'll go get the car ready."
…
…
When Wen Nan returned to the bedroom, Zhuang Yichen was lying on the bed, browsing on her phone, her eyes focused on the screen, not noticing anyone approaching her.
Wen Nan walked over and glanced at the other party’s phone, which showed a group chat called “Mysterious Dinner Planning Group”.
Zhuang Yichen then realized that Wen Nan was approaching. She hurriedly took back her phone, turned off the screen, then raised her arms and put them around Wen Nan's neck, "Why did you come back just now, husband~"
Wen Nan asked casually, "What are you talking about? So serious?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't worry about it," Zhuang Yichen pursed her lips, moved closer to Wen Nan's mouth, and sniffed, "It doesn't smell like Alex's breakfast. He's brushed his teeth," and then moved her nose to Wen Nan's neck, frowning, "But why is there a familiar fragrance, a faint, feminine scent... Have you been fooling around with other women?"
Wen Nan didn't answer her question, but just raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her quietly.
Thinking of the clause they agreed upon when they got married, which was not to interfere with each other's private lives, Zhuang Yichen snorted and stopped asking. Instead, he said, "What's so good about Alex's brunch? It takes so long. Why not...eat my cherries?"
As he spoke, Zhuang Yichen used some strength in his arms, lay on his back on the bed, and pulled Wen Nan towards him.
Wen Nan was forced to support his hands on both sides of her head, looking at her from top to bottom. He felt that he had eaten someone's mouth and was grateful for their kindness, so he decided to say a few good words for Alex: "The new dishes this time are quite good. The Benedict eggs need to be improved, but the sweet potato fries are well made, crispy and tasty. It's worth a try."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yichen snorted, "What's so delicious about fried sweet potato fries? As for sweet potatoes, I only like purple ones. The veins on the skin are clear and they are big enough."
Wen Nan looked at her meaningfully, "You'd better say purple sweet potato."
Zhuang Yichen smiled, "Why not?" She put her hand on the golden fabric, "I want to try it now."
It was time to go to work soon, so Wen Nan didn't hang out with Zhuang Yichen for too long. He quickly got out of the cold big bed, tidied his clothes, and walked out.
When the other person was about to disappear at the door, Zhuang Yichen said behind him: "Husband, you must go home for dinner tonight, okay?"
Wen Nan paused, turned around to look at her, and nodded, "Okay."
…
…
After coming out of Zhuang Yichen's bedroom, Wen Nan walked to Qiqi's guest bedroom and found that the child was still watching the special video on his mobile phone. Even his posture looked almost the same as when Wen Nan left, with almost no change.
Wen Nan had no choice but to step forward and snatch the other person's phone.
"Oh! The Monkey King's stick has just entered! It's reached the climax! Give it back to me!" Qiqi jumped up from the bed, waving her hands to grab the phone.
Wen Nan raised his arms up so that she couldn't reach them.
Qiqi simply jumped onto Wen Nan, wrapped her legs around Wen Nan's waist, stretched her hands upwards, and tried to pry at the phone case with her fingertips.
Wen Nan looked at her with two dark circles under her eyes and sighed, "Internet addict girl, are you not going to work anymore?"
As soon as she heard the word "work", Qiqi felt as if her backbone had been pulled out, and all the strength in her body was drained away, "Why do I have to get up early every day to go to work?"
Wen Nan was helpless, "This seems to be your first day getting up early for work in your life, right?"
"What's wrong with it being the first day? I'm already getting bored." Qiqi said, sliding off Wen Nan, drooping her shoulders, and walking towards the bathroom with heavy steps.
Wen Nan followed and asked, "Do you know what kind of dinner party Zhuang Yichen is preparing?"
Qiqi just put the toothbrush into her mouth and said incoherently: "Happy birthday to you."
Wen Nan: "...What? Whose birthday is it?"
Qiqi spat out the foam in her mouth with a "Puh" sound and pointed her toothbrush at Wen Nan, "You!"
Wen Nan was confused, "It's my birthday today?"
How come he doesn't know this himself?
"I'm your sister, not your mother. Why are you asking me to confirm this?" Qiqi shook her head.
Wen Nan pulled up his background information from the system and confirmed that his identity in the current copy was indeed that his birthday was today.
It seems that Zhuang Yichen saw it on his ID when they got the marriage certificate, and then... wanted to give him a surprise? "How did you know about the birthday dinner?" Wen Nan asked.
"I got into their dinner planning group." Qiqi replied calmly.
Wen Nan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with scrutiny, "You only stayed for one night, and you got involved in that kind of group and started teaming up with them to hide it from me?"
Qiqi realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately moved closer to Wen Nan and said, "Brother, you should pretend that you don't know about this. Don't let them know that the news leaked from me, otherwise they will kick me out of the group."
…
…
"Birthday...dinner?"
On the other side, Yu Shujun had just sat down in the driver's seat when she immediately received a call from Zhuang Yichen, instructing her to bring back the protagonist of the dinner before leaving get off work.
"Even if we have to tie him up, we have to tie him back," Zhuang Yichen's thin and slender voice sounded over the phone, "Xiaojun, this matter is entirely up to you."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Shujun sat alone in the car, staring blankly ahead.
This should just be the birthday of Ye Jiu’s new identity in this copy. Perhaps that person himself doesn’t even know that it is his birthday today.
But, since we're having a birthday party...
Yu Shujun lowered his eyes.
She wanted to give him a gift, a gift that would impress him enough to make him willing to give her a chance. (End of this chapter)
