December 31st, the last day of this year.

Also, today is Monday.

However, because New Year's Day fell on Tuesday, the college's classes on Monday were moved to last Saturday, and all teachers and students had a holiday today.

After Qiao Muyi handed over all the work to Yao Fei, she also sneaked out, which was in stark contrast to Yu Kuangtu who was supervised by Li Dan every day.

At Ren Suo's house, all those who knew the situation gathered together, and the sleeping bodies of Gu Yueyan and Ren Suo were placed in the middle of the living room.

Seven days passed. They had not eaten or drunk anything, but their faces were still rosy, their heartbeats were still strong, and even the permanent dark circles under their eyes that Ren Suo had developed by staying up late every day for four years in college had quietly dissipated.

According to the intelligence, today is the last day of the trial.

In other words, Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan will wake up today, or die today.

So, everyone was very nervous.

Qiao Muyi crossed her legs and asked lazily, "What are you eating tonight, Chengling?"

Dong Chengling began to announce the names of the dishes: "Steamed sea bass, braised prawns, spicy crab, stir-fried beef tenderloin, boiled chicken..."

Bai Ji asked, "They haven't eaten for so many days. Isn't it bad to eat meat and fish all of a sudden?"

Dong Chengling nodded and said, "So I haven't bought any groceries yet, but there should be some in the supermarket."

Ren Xingmei suggested, "If they have a bad stomach, why not cook some porridge?"

Lin Xianyu smacked his lips, swallowed his saliva and said, "Why not make seafood porridge? It should have shrimps and swimming crabs, plus half a bowl of scallops, half a dozen clams, and overnight rice..."

Gu Yuexuan, who was listening to them talking about what to eat tonight, couldn't help but said, "Ahem."

Everyone immediately looked at him. At this time, Lin Xianyu blinked and asked, "Do you want to order some food? But we are not very familiar with you. I wonder if Teacher Dong will invite you to dinner..."

"I left it for you." Dong Chengling said, "Just tell me what you want to eat, but you can only name one dish."

"Only one dish? Then I want to eat braised spareribs... No!"

Gu Yuexuan was almost tricked by them and said angrily, "My sister and Ren Suo are in danger of death. Is it really okay for you to discuss what to eat tonight?"

The four of them smiled at each other, and then Qiao Muyi smiled and said, "Because we believe that the two of them will wake up safely."

Gu Yuexuan was quite puzzled. He turned his head to the afternoon sun outside and sighed, "Facing such a strange incident, I really don't have as much confidence as you do... You were still very worried about them a few days ago, why are you suddenly relieved today?"

They were slightly startled. Qiao Muyi propped her chin up with her palm, glanced at Ren Suo, and said, "There's no reason. I just suddenly felt that they shouldn't be in any danger in the trial... Xiao Suo will definitely avoid all dangers."

Dong Chengling nodded. "Yes, and Suo has many trump cards. This trip will be safe. Even if he encounters danger inside, he will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

Bai Ji said, "We were too anxious before, but you can see that they are in such good health now, which means they are enjoying the trial."

Ren Xingmei smiled faintly and said, "My brother said that he would always protect me...so he won't leave me at this time."

Gu Yuexuan looked at these four people who were very anxious a few days ago, and suddenly saw through the world and were full of confidence today. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know any other news?"

"No." "How is that possible?" The four of them shook their heads at the same time.

At this time, Lin Xianyu came over to eat ice cream from the refrigerator and nodded, "I have been very confident in Brother Ren and the monitor from the beginning!"

Since they all said so, Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to try his best to calm himself down.

...I can't calm down!

Why are they so calm!

Gu Yuexuan sighed and murmured softly, "I hope my sister doesn't like the wrong person..."

Lin Xianyu's throat was choked while eating the ice cream. She quickly swallowed the ice cream and secretly peeked at other people's reactions.

Bai Ji didn't care at all... Well, that's right, if another girl liked Brother Ren, it had nothing to do with him.

Ren Xingmei raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't show any surprise... Well, in fact, the class monitor was really obvious, Xiao Xingxing should have seen it a long time ago.

The most important are Teacher Dong and Sister Qiao!

The two of them could definitely hear Gu Yuexuan's murmurs, but their expressions did not change. They just casually glanced at the sleeping Gu Yueyan and Ren Suo, neither surprised nor angry.

Did they already know this?

Lin Xianyu licked the ice cream at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Gu Yueyan who was sleeping side by side with Ren Suo and seemed to be about to return to his coffin.

Whether it's life or death... Anyway, squad leader, you don't have much time left.

…

…

Dark side of the moon, seventh phase of the moon, new moon.

Ren Suo stood on the balcony, looking at the crescent moon that lit up the dark night sky outside. He turned around and shouted into the house, "Yueyan, we have to go. It's almost time."

There was a response from the inner room, and Gu Yueyan, dressed in casual clothes, came out of the bedroom with black hair draped over her shoulders. She walked over and handed Ren Suo a hairband, and Ren Suo shrugged, "We don't have much time."

"Then just give it a stab."

At this time, rays of moonlight descended around the silver-white light column that had just lit up in the distance, and a roar came from afar, leaving only the lingering sound like firecrackers.

Ren Suo asked Gu Yueyan to sit on the sofa, took out a comb and straightened her long hair, gathered the long hair around her ears into a small ponytail, but kept the long hair behind her neck. There are many ways to braid a ponytail, like this one, which only gathers the long hair around the ears. It looks less messy than long hair, but it is not as simple and breathable as a full ponytail. Ren Suo simply likes this hairstyle.

Gu Yueyan looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, "It's much better than what you did at the beginning."

"Practice makes perfect." Ren Suo said, "I spent a few days learning a skill that I won't be able to use in the future..."

"Who said you can't use it?"

Gu Yueyan took Ren Suo's hand, pulled him out of the house, and asked, "Is it dawn outside?"

At this time, the silver-white light column in the distance had quietly dissipated, and was replaced by a scarlet light that pierced through the night sky. The entire night sky was illuminated, blood red, and even the silver moon hanging high in the sky was obscured.

"This is because Luna has collected 25 Silver Moon Crystals."

"But don't I still have two Silver Moon Crystals?"

"So she has only gathered them now. The 27th Silver Moon Crystal just descended."

"Except for the Silver Moon Crystal on me, all other Silver Moon Crystals are in her hands? Is Luna so powerful?"

"That's how amazing it is." Ren Suo said with some pride in his tone.

They walked out of the building and strolled hand in hand like lovers on the quaint cobblestone street.

"So... the trial is really going to end?"

There was some disbelief in Gu Yueyan's tone. She thought that even if 28 Silver Moon Crystals descended, there would still be a fierce battle to decide the winner. After all, one had to collect 25 Silver Moon Crystals to win the title of Moon Singer.

She has two Silver Moon Crystals in her hand, so what about others?

If the 28 Silver Moon Crystals are scattered, then the arrival is only the beginning of the killing, and the next step is the real hunting moment.

Even if Gu Yueyan had a Silver Moon Crystal that could conceal her identity by a miracle, she had no confidence that she could survive such a chaotic battle.

So when Ren Suo told her yesterday that the trial would end today, Gu Yueyan was still skeptical.

She didn't expect it to be so fast.

She thought they would have many thrilling times.

"Well, we can go back now."

Ren Suo looked around, then led Gu Yueyan to a relatively open square and said, "But we don't know what will happen when the trial is over. It may even cause the sky to collapse and the earth to break. Let's wait here."

In fact, it’s not over yet, because Luna still needs to fight the Killing Moon God.

When Ren Suo controlled Luna in the game and reached the ending, he only saw the scenes inside the Silver Moon Crystal Secret Realm, and did not see the situation on the dark side of the moon outside.

You have to know that at that time the Killing Moon God was invading the Dark Side of the Moon. If it weren't for Luna's help, the Dark Side of the Moon would have been destroyed by the Killing Moon God.

The world was being invaded, and who knew if there would be tsunamis, lava outbursts, or tall buildings collapsing. That was why Ren Suo dragged Gu Yueyan to an open area, to avoid being killed by the 'technical adjustment' of the Dark Side of the Moon at the last moment before leaving.

Don't go to dangerous places, don't associate with dangerous people, and don't get involved in dangerous things. This is the best way to protect yourself, and it is also the life creed that Ren Suo has always followed.

"Finally I can go back..." Gu Yueyan sighed, and suddenly said, "Luna didn't show up at all today."

"Because she is in danger today," Ren Suo said, "Yesterday Luna was found by others through a miracle, so the apostles gathered in the church to beat her up... She must have been hunted by the apostles all the time today, so she didn't look for us."

Gu Yueyan shook Ren Suo's arm, looked at the lamppost in the square, and said, "Although I feel a little sorry for Luna, but... if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have listened to you."

Ren Suo pondered for a moment and said, "Today I only told you not to enter my room..."

"You said yesterday that we could leave today, so there was no need to arrange character labels." Gu Yueyan pulled Ren Suo to sit on the bench and said, "At that time I thought you were joking, and Luna has been pestering us these days, and she will definitely stay with us today. Even if I arrange character labels, I will still play with Luna in the end... So I listened to you and didn't arrange anything."

"If I had known that today would be the last day, if I had known that Luna would not show up today, I would have made good arrangements..."

Suddenly, the world was silent, and all the indigenous people and buildings on the street looked distorted and misplaced, as if the images on the recording tape were misread.

Everything around them became blurry, as if hundreds of layers of blur filters were added. Compared with the surrounding environment, Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan were almost the difference between 4KHDR ultra-high definition and character painting.

"...After all, I don't have much time."

Ren Suo shook his head. "We can go back soon. We still have plenty of time."

"Really?" Gu Yueyan tilted her head and looked at him. "Do we really have a lot of time? Will you still braid my hair?"

Without the "echo", Ren Suo could now hear the hidden meaning of Gu Yueyan's words. He sighed softly.

Seeing Ren Suo fall silent, the expectation on Gu Yueyan's face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips, his eyes soaked with mist.

Ren Suo had been hiding in his room alone since yesterday, and had not come out until now. Even after he came out, he did not respond. She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she could not say them when she saw him.

She felt that she was weird.

If it were in the past, even if she didn't like Luna following her, she wouldn't say it.

If it were in the past, she would not regret it even if she missed something, let alone say it out loud.

If it were in the past, even if she wanted to cry, she would never shed tears in front of others.

At this moment, a huge ball of light suddenly appeared in the distance, almost as big as the silver moon in the sky. Ugly bloodshot veins appeared on the surface of the silver moon, and even the moonlight falling on the ground was slightly red.

"Oh." Ren Suo scratched his head and suddenly asked Gu Yueyan, "What color is the blood?"

"Red." Gu Yueyan answered in a hoarse voice.

"Then if a person doesn't have anything blue in him, and no one tells him what blue is, and he has never seen blue, does he know what blue is?"

Although Ren Suo was talking nonsense, Gu Yueyan still answered honestly, "He doesn't know. Just like you don't know Taylor's formula expansion if you haven't learned it."

"How do you know I haven't learned it... Never mind." Ren Suo sighed, shook his head and said, "So, I'm the one who doesn't know what blue is."

"What do you mean? Are you blue-green color blind?"

"That is..." Ren Suo had a hard time choosing his words. "You like me, right?"

Being asked directly by him like this, Gu Yueyan's face flushed slightly, but she still nodded firmly.

"That's it. I don't know what love is."

Ren Suo glanced at Yin Yue who was about to be completely embraced by the blood light, and said, "Or rather, I don't know what love is in interpersonal relationships."

"Do I like my parents? I don't know, but I know I am willing to take care of them, to give to them, and to hang out with them from time to time... Of course, I don't know if they are willing or not."

"Do I like friends? I don't know, but if anything happens to Zhao Huo, I will definitely take care of his affairs. If Yu Kuangtu doesn't have money to buy cigarettes in the future, I will also lend him some money... The limit is 250 yuan."

"So, do I like you?"

Ren Suo looked at Gu Yueyan and said seriously, "I don't deny that I have some impure thoughts about you, but I also have some impure thoughts when I look at Zhao Huo's phone screensaver. I also have a heavy sense of responsibility towards you. If you are in danger, I'm not sure what my first reaction would be, but my current thought is - I will protect you."

"But if you change it to someone else, my sister, Cheng Ling, Mu Gongzi, Xian Yu, or even Luna, I might have the same idea - although many people on the list would not need my protection."

The city became more and more unreal and distorted, and even the bench they were sitting on was almost bent into an S-tube.

Ren Suo turned his head, reached out and wiped the tears from Gu Yueyan's eyes, and asked curiously, "What about you? You like me, how do you like me?"

Ren Suo's serious tone was like a Chinese teacher asking, "What kind of thoughts and feelings do you think the author expressed?" Gu Yueyan couldn't help but smile, then thought for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "My love is that I want to let the psychopath hidden in my soul, the idiot hidden in my brain, the coward hidden in my self-esteem, and the dimmest star in the galaxy come out for you to see."

"I only want you to see my stupidity. I want to see your innocence that I only discover."

"It can only be you, I only hope it's you, I only want it to be you."

Gu Yueyan pursed her lips and let it go, her eyebrows curved like the moon, her eyes full of youthful affection.

She asked, "What about you? Have you really never loved someone? You are willing to show all your joys and sorrows in front of her, willing to work hard for her, willing to do anything, the only thing you don't want to do is lose her... Have you never had such a love?"

Ren Suo thought about it seriously and said, "Strictly speaking... yes."

Gu Yueyan instantly lost all his strength and asked stupidly, "Who is it?"

Is it Teacher Dong? Teacher Dong has fair skin, beautiful looks, and a good figure. She is already a fourth-level cultivator and has a bright future...

Or Sister Qiao? Sister Qiao is quirky and clever. Life with her must be colorful. Besides, she is already the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau and has a bright future...

However, Gu Yueyan found that Ren Suo seemed embarrassed to answer, and his eyes were hesitant, which made her feel a glimmer of hope.

"Could it be that what you like is..." Gu Yueyan slightly opened her red lips and asked cautiously and expectantly.

"That's right." Ren Suo nodded. "If according to what you just said..."

"Then my lover is a game."
