Chapter 30 The Infinite Boss Invites You to "Eat Melon" 30. Pei Yan...
As midnight approached, the darkness deepened, like a vast expanse of ink that could not be dissolved.
Everything in the guest room was shrouded in darkness, with only vague outlines appearing, like hidden reefs in the sea.
The largest and most terrifying reef stood at the head of the bed, slowly leaning down and enveloping the bed in a stiff, damp, and eerie posture.
Like an indescribable underwater shadow.
Heavy, slippery, damp, cold...
The gossip system, seeing that Lu Yu hadn't even gotten into bed after five minutes, finally couldn't help but turn on its projection: "[...Host, you can actually just lift the covers and lie down.]"
Pei Yanzhi is completely unguarded around you, and with so many abilities covering him, unless the bed collapses, he shouldn't wake up for at least three to five hours. You don't need to be so... cautious.
Lu Yu, who was trying to squeeze into the covers in an extremely contorted position with minimal effort, was speechless.
“You don’t understand, System,” Lu Yu said seriously. “I’ve been a player before, and I know that, not to mention in the game world, even in the real world of your own hometown, very few players dare to sleep soundly. They are all very vigilant, and they practically sleep with one eye open.”
"Although I managed to infiltrate the space of the inkstone, but..."
The Gossip System: [But today, a host is with Pei Yanzhi.]
Lu Yu paused in his speech.
The "Gossip System": [According to system data monitoring, when Pei Yanzhi was with the host, his occasional naps in the car were always in a completely relaxed, deep sleep. This is a sign of a strong sense of security.]
Lu Yu's expression shifted. He hadn't expected Pei Yanzhi to like and trust him even more than he had imagined.
He gazed at the person beneath him, a mixture of pity and tenderness, and a wave of guilt and remorse washing over him: "Yanzhi trusted me so much, yet I betrayed him. I promised him I wouldn't touch him, but I sneaked in in the middle of the night..."
But despite his thoughts, Lu Yu's actions didn't stop at all.
After receiving confirmation of the system's security, he stopped acting suspiciously and instead lifted a corner of the blanket, lay down, stretched out his long arm, grasped Pei Yanzhi's slender waist, and pulled him into his arms.
Before they came into contact, things were fine, but now that they had, Lu Yu realized how deep and boundless the desires in his heart truly were.
The moment he smelled Pei Yanzhi's scent, he couldn't help but greedily inhale deeply, as if even his soul was trembling. The moment he touched Pei Yanzhi's body temperature, a strong possessive and destructive urge surged up, as if embedding him into his bones and blood, or tearing him apart and devouring him, would not be able to relieve his intense hunger in the slightest.
His feet were pinned down, his calves were wrapped around his waist, and his neck was enveloped by large, burning hands. Chest to chest, hip to hip, hair intertwined, breaths mingling. The perfect size difference meant that every part of Pei Yanzhi's body was unavoidably and brazenly possessed by Lu Yu.
Occasionally, a few smooth spots would slip out, but Lu Yu would quickly notice them and grab them back in displeasure.
He was just like a greedy male beast; once he came into contact with his mate, he would tear off his civilized human skin and be completely overwhelmed by the instinct to mark and possess the other.
"Inkstone..."
Lu Yu let out a deep sigh, a mixture of satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
The Gossip System: [...There's a reason why Pei Yanzhi doesn't believe the host's intimate contact was just intimate contact.]
Lu Yu's nose and mouth were completely filled with the light and beautiful fragrance of orchids, and he had no time to pay attention to the system. He directly disconnected the mental link and refused the system's interference and spying.
Without the disturbing light curtain, the room became darker and quieter.
Apart from the long, drawn-out breathing of the person in his arms, there was only the faint hum of the air conditioner.
Lu Yu stroked the waist beneath his palm, took a deep breath, and his low, magnetic voice broke the silence, sounding in the room like a damp, humid sigh emanating from some dark cave: "Can you feel it, Yanzhi? The purification effect seems to be less effective through a layer of pajamas."
"The buttons here are so stiff... Can I unbutton them?"
"Yanzhi, have I ever told you how fragrant you are... I want to kiss you, is that okay? Just a kiss, like last time, from top to bottom..."
Lu Yu knelt down and asked questions politely.
Pei Yanzhi responded gently and did not refuse any of them.
The air conditioner hummed, and in the deep darkness of the summer night, a thin shirt was pushed off the bed and fell to the floor.
The people in the bed are curled up in the blankets, like two trees growing in the tropics, their roots intertwined, their trunks inseparable, their branches overlapping and intertwined, rooted in the same breathable soil, crowded and suffocating, deeply and thirstily soaking each other in.
Lu Yu never knew that one day he would yearn for someone so much.
But if this person is Pei Yanzhi, then it's easy to understand. He is a very, very good person. This isn't something I heard from someone or just heard from gossip; it's something he saw and experienced firsthand.
"The effect is still a bit poor. If this is all it's going to do, I might have to come every night for the rest of the week..."
Around five or six o'clock, before dawn, Lu Yu sensed the changes in the pollution within Pei Yanzhi's body, reluctantly released the still-sleeping person, and very reasonably made an agreement to come every night.
He took a towel soaked in warm water from the bathroom and, filled with remorse, wiped Pei Yanzhi clean.
However, contrary to what the gossip system thought, he was still somewhat trustworthy. Overnight, apart from cuddling, hugging, kissing, and licking, he did nothing else. Therefore, no obvious marks were left on Pei Yanzhi's body, and it was easy to clean him up.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yu withdrew all his abilities and quietly returned to the master bedroom. He lay down in his cold bed and closed his eyes, feeling quite satisfied.
...
Because he went to bed early the night before, Pei Yanzhi woke up a little after eight o'clock, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to wake up even earlier than him.
As soon as he unleashed his spatial power, he discovered the man busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Pei Yan subconsciously smiled, propped himself up, and was about to lift the covers and get out of bed when he suddenly stopped, feeling something strange about his body.
I was thinking about Lu Yu before I went to sleep last night. I've already been there twice, so why am I thinking about him again now...? Is it because I had too many dreams about him last night?
Pei Yanzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and his supple waist slumped as he leaned back against the headboard.
He couldn't see Lu Yu, but he could sense him through space.
A strong upper body, a powerful waist, and long, straight legs...
Eyebrows, eyes, bridge of the nose, lips, tongue, hands...
Pei Yanzhi suddenly closed his eyes and opened his lips.
Around nine o'clock, Lu Yu heard noises coming from the master bedroom. Breakfast was ready, so he went over and politely knocked on the door.
"Yanzhi, are you up?"
He asked, "Breakfast is ready, sandwiches. Didn't you say you wanted some yesterday?"
"Coming." The door opened in response. Pei Yanzhi's cheeks were flushed and red, as if he had just washed. His hair was still dripping wet, and he had changed his pajamas into new loungewear, not the ones from last night.
Lu Yu felt slightly disappointed. He stared at the pajamas for a while, then looked away and went to get breakfast.
Compared to the previous day, the two had a much more relaxed Sunday.
Although Lu Yu was still in a state of confusion, he had made up his mind to wait for a week. However, he secretly went to purify Pei Yanzhi every night, so he stopped testing anything during the day and completely relaxed, enjoying their first weekend together, which felt like living together.
Lu Yu calmed down, so Pei Yanzhi naturally didn't do anything more. He was just a little surprised that Lu Yu would accept it so easily. He couldn't quite believe it. That afternoon, when he and Lu Yu were lounging in the living room, lazily reading books and watching movies, he felt a pang of anxiety and a bit of wariness whenever Lu Yu made a move.
It wasn't until the evening that it was confirmed that Lu Yu wasn't feigning weakness to wait for an opportunity to take down the enemy in one fell swoop, but rather that he genuinely didn't intend to test the waters anymore.
This pleased Pei Yanzhi, but for some reason, it also made him feel somewhat lost, which was truly inexplicable.
At midnight, Lu Yu sneaked into Pei Yanzhi's room right on time.
Perhaps because he had done this once before, Lu Yu was now more experienced and abandoned all pretense, letting himself go completely. He didn't even feel guilty or remorseful anymore. He rolled up the blanket, encircled the person, and began to peel away and purify him meticulously.
It was Monday again, and Lu Yu, unusually, didn't struggle or suffer. Instead, he got up at the sound of his alarm clock, feeling exceptionally refreshed. He washed up, made breakfast, and said a sweet goodbye to Pei Yanzhi.
"I'm going to pick up my car tonight, so I might be back a little late..." Lu Yu suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was he implying that he would "come back" tonight?
He hasn't asked Pei Yanzhi to move in together yet!
But Pei Yanzhi didn't seem to notice anything amiss. He used his spatial powers to adjust Lu Yu's collar remotely and replied with a smile, "Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"I haven't decided yet," Lu Yu said.
Pei Yanzhi said, "I'll ask you again when it's almost time to leave work..."
The two left their residence together, stepped into the elevator, walked to the subway station, and parted ways at different lines.
Lu Yu watched Pei Yanzhi's figure disappear down the escalator, feeling both sweet and downcast.
At 9:02 a.m., Lu Yu appeared at his workstation amidst the astonished gazes of the entire company.
In the company gossip group: [Did I see that right? Director Lu from the operations department is late! Late!]
Yes, you read that right, Lu Yu was late. Although he was only two minutes late, this was the first time in his five years at Xiaoxixi! Unbelievable!
What exactly happened to him? Could it be that he worked fourteen consecutive days a while ago, finally becoming exhausted and having a mental breakdown, wanting to use this as a way to protest against his stingy boss, or even resign?
He seemed to be in good spirits, with a cheerful expression...
This is normal; after developing a mental illness, everyone becomes mentally unstable!
No, no, no, it can't be because of overtime. Little Lu used to work 007 for over a month straight and still survived. Two weeks is nothing...
Amidst the chaotic speculation in the group, Lu Yu stared at the gossip group interface on his computer screen, eager to reveal the sweet truth behind it all to his fellow gossip enthusiasts. However, he was a lurking observer who had secretly infiltrated the group and had never spoken, so he didn't want to expose his identity.
Just then, the boss, with his slightly protruding belly, approached with a hesitant expression: "Old Lu, your perfect attendance record this month..."
"Deduct it."
Lu Yu waved his hand, feeling more dashing than ever before.
The chatter in the gossip group stopped abruptly, and two seconds later a message popped up: "...Looks like he really is sick."
The boss was a little incredulous, thinking that Lu Yu would definitely argue with him and reveal his little secret of secretly setting the lucky cat clock at the door a minute fast.
Could it be that I misjudged him before?
The boss, unusually, reflected on his actions and felt ashamed of his impulsive thought of blocking up all the toilets in the office building to prevent Lu Yu from taking paid toilet breaks.
"Mr. Zhao, why are you smiling like that..." Lu Yu subtly reminded him.
The gossip group, however, was quite sharp: "Old Miser is just like a fat mouse that's fallen into a rice jar!"
Reminded, the boss coughed twice, regained his composure, patted Lu Yu on the shoulder with obvious appreciation, then strode to the front of all the workstations, clapped his hands, and said, "Is everyone here? I have some good news to announce!"
There was no applause.
Forty or fifty numb faces lifted from the cubicles, staring intently at him.
The high-ranking official and Bao Xiaoqi, who were holding mops in the aisle and were about to give each other some face by clapping: "..."
The scene was rather eerie; it was probably the most terrifying thing they had seen so far in this dungeon.
The two of them shivered for no reason and rubbed their skin to get goosebumps.
The boss, however, seemed unfazed by the awkward silence and announced with great enthusiasm: "Our annual company-wide team building event at Smiling Media Company is confirmed! We're going to Hiloran Island this Wednesday through Sunday! Surprised? Unexpected!"
The boss was in high spirits and started clapping his hands enthusiastically.
The cubicle remained deathly silent, with only the stiff sound of keyboard typing.
Something's fishy!
Lu Yu saw the message in the gossip group.
[Would Old Miser really be willing to organize team building activities on weekdays? Didn't he only do it on weekends the past two years, taking up everyone's rest time for things like picnics and hikes? Hailoland Island… Has Old Miser been possessed?]
[He wasn't possessed, but he's definitely just trying to piggyback on his brother's company's team-building activities. The people above are new in the last two years, I don't know, but he's been like this for years, incredibly stingy. He'll skimp on anything he has to pay for—bringing his own food for picnics, fishing on his own, can you believe it? All that talk about an annual overseas trip is just a ploy to lure people into joining the company. Those team-building photos on the wall are all borrowed from his brother!]
Sure enough, after applauding himself, the boss continued, "Choosing this time for team building was unavoidable and it's a bit of a disruption to everyone's work. I hope you'll understand. We're going with Fengdu Group this time, haha, some of you older employees probably remember, we went to the Arctic with them last time. Oh, and by the way, Xiao Gao and Xiao Bao, don't get all excited. No interns, especially not cleaning interns. You guys take good care of the house and make sure it's kept clean..."
The boss talked a lot of nonsense, and Lu Yu had only heard the key points before his mind started to wander.
Just then, as if to pull him back to his senses, the phone on the table vibrated twice, and a message and a text message popped up one after the other.
Lu Yu swiped open his phone.
The message was pinned and came from Pei Yanzhi's encrypted chat: "[Just now, Smiling Games notified us that the second phase of the SSS-level dungeon 'Fool's Kingdom' story quest will begin soon, exactly the day after tomorrow, Wednesday.]"
Lu Yu's gaze froze.
He didn't reply immediately, but looked at the text message.
It came from an unknown number, and the sender identified himself as "Elemental Messenger": "[If you have time, I'd like to chat with you.]"
