"and……"
Zhu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, "You don't think you're hiding well, do you?"
The person leaning on him froze.
Zhu Yuanqing still refused to let him go, and instead began to list one loophole after another that he had made during this period of time.
"Let's not even talk about how you managed to hide in the restaurant under so many people's noses. Even if you were the first person to arrive here, it's unlikely that you could accurately find the restaurant's location and hide yourself when you couldn't see clearly at all."
"Also, don't think I didn't notice your little actions." Zhu Yuanqing poked his shoulder.
"Stabbing through plates, threatening the maid, deliberately tampering with my alarm clock, a clean and tidy attic, and inexplicable sleepiness..."
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanqing found it a little funny: "You don't really think I didn't find anything, do you?"
Pei Xia hugged the person in his arms silently. At the same time, the black fog in front of the window quietly sneaked behind the curtains and hid itself tightly.
Zhu Yuanqing originally wanted to let him go, but when he thought about this person's behavior during this period, he added the last sentence.
"Of course, this is all later. The most important thing is the piece of paper I found on you."
"It says you have autism." Zhu Yuanqing grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up. "I've never heard of an autistic person as lively as you."
The word "lively" is debatable, but it is true that she is not pretending.
Pei Xia was being held by the back of the neck. Facing Zhu Yuanqing's playful expression, a strange look flashed across his deep pupils. He lowered his head, looking extremely dejected.
Zhu Yuanqing paused for a moment before saying anything, and the words were stuck in his throat.
Did I say something a bit harsh?
After all, after spending so much time pretending, it must be quite depressing to suddenly find out that you have exposed your flaws from the very beginning, right?
He had no such experience and didn't know if his guess was right, but when he saw Pei Xia lowering his head and seemed to be in autism, he patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Apart from these things, you have been pretending to be fine the rest of the time."
As if to prevent anyone from disbelieving him, he added, "Really."
Pei Xia lowered his head, the darkness in his eyes became more intense. He grabbed the hand on his shoulder and tightened his grip.
"Really?"
Zhu Yuanqing nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"
"Do you think I'm ugly?"
The grip on his hand gradually increased. Zhu Yuan Qingyin realized something and did not struggle, saying comfortingly, "Of course not."
He never thought that Pei Xia would have appearance anxiety. In every world, men always look at ease. Even if they show some vulnerability occasionally, it will never be because of such a trivial matter as appearance.
And to be fair, Pei Xia is not ugly. On the contrary, his appearance is quite superior and can definitely not be described as ugly.
Zhu Yuanqing stretched out a hand and pinched Pei Xia's chin, forcing him to lift his head up. He bent down slightly, looked straight into his eyes, and spoke seriously word by word.
"No matter what you look like, I won't be afraid. You look so pitiful, you don't look like a scary dungeon boss."
He said this in a completely teasing tone, as if he never took the sword hanging over his head seriously, and seemed to be unconcerned about the survival game he was in.
So do you like it?
Pei Xia looked at him intently, as if about to say something, but Zhu Yuanqing didn't notice the momentary confusion and depression on his face. Seeing that he had calmed down, he turned and asked, "What exactly is going on with this survival game?"
Although he had some guesses in his mind, after all, he lacked too much information, and the guesses were just guesses and could not form a basis for judgment.
Pei Xia's eyelashes trembled as she said, "It's a balancing system that brings together related people and selects them to participate in the game."
"Ever since I became conscious, I have existed in this copy."
How long has it been since he regained consciousness? Zhu Yuanqing frowned slightly, looking at Pei Xia with hidden concern.
"It's actually okay." Pei Xia knew what he was thinking at a glance and skipped over the topic. "Specific information cannot be disclosed due to regulations, but don't worry, you will be able to return to the real world safely in seven days. I promise."
His eyes were sincere and didn't seem fake. He really wanted to let Zhu Yuanqing go after the copy was over and had no intention of keeping him.
Pei Xia spoke too firmly and decisively, as if he had come to the answer after thinking for a long time. Zhu Yuanqing glanced at him, shook his head and said nothing.
"You said that the people who entered the game were related to each other, but Li Dapeng once said that he really didn't know Xu Zhi and the others."
"So there should be something or some object that connects them?"
Pei Xia nodded, and his already pale face turned even paler.
No one knew how Zhu Yuanqing noticed this slight change, but he immediately placed his hand on Pei Xia's face and said sternly, "I'm just guessing. Don't answer or react."
His voice was rarely so serious, not even when he just discovered his identity. Pei Xia was a little dazed and nodded.
Zhu Yuanqing had not expected that Pei Xia would be restricted by the rules just by saying this little information. He simply abandoned his other ideas and only asked the questions that concerned him most.
"Can you please leave this game?"
Pei Xia's face was held up by Zhu Yuanqing, and any slight movement would be stopped. Upon hearing this, his body stiffened slightly, and his raised eyelashes drooped gently.
He didn't say anything, but Zhu Yuanqing had already made his own judgment.
He smiled softly and placed his fingers at the corners of the person's eyes: "It's okay."
Pei Xia didn't know whether he had heard it or not. He grabbed Zhu Yuanqing's hand, interlocked his fingers with his, and pushed him onto the bed.
"I didn't mean to lie to you." He tried to change the subject, and Zhu Yuanqing cooperated with him and listened to what he was saying.
"I can't regain consciousness during the day, so I can only pinch myself to follow you." He placed his forehead against Zhu Yuanqing's. "As time goes by, I'll be awake longer and longer, and I'll be able to stay with you forever."
Zhu Yuanqing stroked the soft hair of his hand and chuckled, "You're quite impressive for protecting me by relying on instinct."
The silence in the room was a little heavy due to the previous discussion. Zhu Yuanqing withdrew his hand, took the initiative to move closer, and covered Pei Xia's eyes.
"It's getting late. We can deal with the rest tomorrow. Go to sleep."
