Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Seems a bit doting
Could something have happened during the time he was unconscious?
Yan Zhou felt a little annoyed with himself, wondering how he could have left the boy and fallen into unconsciousness, and hurried to Su Yuan's side.
When he thought like this, he seemed unaware that his way of thinking was a little abnormal. Rather than him protecting his cards, it was more normal for the cards to protect their card masters in this world.
Yan Zhou carefully observed Su Yuan who had already arrived in front of him, and examined every part of Su Yuan's body with a worried look.
This careful inspection made Yan Zhou uncontrollably discover some things that he had not seen just now.
Yan Zhou then noticed that the hug between him and Su Yuan just now made Su Yuan's clothes become a little messy and loose, and the collar at her neck could no longer completely cover her skin. When Yan Zhou lowered his eyes, he vaguely saw the snow-white color spreading down from her collarbone.
How can it be so white? It’s even more dazzling than pearls that emit a lustrous luster.
After realizing that he was about to see a specific scene, the tips of Yan Zhou's ears, which were hidden by his hair, turned red instantly, and he quickly retracted his abrupt gaze.
Not daring to look down, Yan Zhou condemned his own lecherous behavior and thoughts. He suppressed his messy thoughts and asked, "Did anything happen just now?"
After hearing his voice, his beautiful card responded obediently even though it still looked very disappointed.
Yan Zhou saw the person in front of him shook his head and denied that anything happened next. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he carefully raised his beautiful eyelashes and looked at him again.
The other person raised his hand somewhat helplessly, pointed at the throat that had just made Yan Zhou's heart beat wildly, and shook his head pitifully. When he finally looked Yan Zhou in the eye again, his eyes, which were more beautiful than gems, seemed to be faintly misty under the light.
While Yan Zhou felt equally at a loss as he was looked at by him, he successfully understood the reason why Su Yuan was sad.
Su Yuan was upset because he couldn't speak.
The blood-stained lips paused for a moment and then opened again.
——Will I never be able to speak again?
While Su Yuan opened his mouth and made lip shapes, he was also carefully observing Yan Zhou's reaction.
He was not sure what position this card held in Yan Zhou's heart.
Su Yuan tried to facilitate Yan Zhou's admission to the academy by arousing his curiosity about card knowledge.
Su Yuan's inability to speak can be seen as a flaw in the card, and this flaw can be compensated theoretically. However, this method is obviously not something that ordinary card masters can learn and master.
For Yan Zhou at present, the most likely way to learn relevant knowledge is to enter college.
If Yan Zhou values this card enough, he might be willing to study in the academy for it.
Although Su Yuan had just helped Yan Zhou overcome a crisis with the power of the card, which should be considered to have exposed the potential of the card, Su Yuan was still a little nervous.
He remembered that the protagonist didn't like summoning cards.
As her heart was beating fast, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled along with Su Yuan.
The slight curve in his sight made Yan Zhou's heart feel like it was scratched by something.
Su Yuan was ready to add some weight to himself to increase his importance in Yan Zhou's heart.
While he was painting a rosy picture for Yan Zhou, he quietly retracted his look that was filled with guilt for lying.
——But I still have something I want to tell you in person.
Well, I can only tell Yan Zhou after he can speak.
No other method could convey the message clearly to Yan Zhou.
And it’s a very important thing.
Su Yuan was thinking in his heart, nervously waiting for Yan Zhou to ask him further questions.
However, Su Yuan, who was silently practicing his big talk in his mind, did not hear Yan Zhou's voice.
Could it be that Yan Zhou was not curious at all about what he said?
Su Yuan pursed his lips unconsciously, and after waiting for a while in agony, he couldn't help but raised his helpless face again and asked back in a slightly awkward tone.
—Don’t you want to hear this from my own mouth?
Yan Zhou was still racking his brains thinking about how to start the conversation in order to successfully appease Su Yuan and make Su Yuan have as good an impression of him as possible, when his heart skipped a beat the next second.
The young boy in his sight raised his pretty face and asked him with wet, red and somewhat aggrieved eyes.
Don't you want to hear me say it myself?
Yan Zhou added the rest of the words with a slightly dizzy head.
——Calling your name?
When Yan Zhou's brain went blank for a moment, he heard his own heart beating violently.
Of course I did.

Su Yuan felt that Yan Zhou's reaction was a little strange, and there was a hint of doubt in his raised eyes. But no matter what, Yan Zhou's nod made Su Yuan feel relieved that his goal had been achieved.
It was getting darker outside, and without the barrier of the door, the continuously decreasing cold air continued to deprive the room of its temperature.
When Su Yuan reached out to gather his clothes, Yan Zhou realized the difficulty of the environment. After quickly packing up, he took Su Yuan to the last room at the end of the corridor.
Almost as soon as he had simply settled down, Yan Zhou felt the abnormal fluctuations in his light brain.
A video transmission exactly the same as the previous one was played.
Yan Zhou frowned slightly, but the other party's identity obviously made him dare not hesitate. He immediately pressed the answer button with a serious expression.
Su Yuan did not dodge, but looked at the electronic shadow that appeared in front of him with some curiosity.
Cards are a special kind of thing. While they can be seen by people with their naked eyes, they cannot be recorded by any other media.
Even if the card stands in front of a mirror, the mirror will not reflect it at all.
Video communication also cannot reflect Su Yuan's figure. In other words, the person on the other side cannot see Su Yuan through the video.
Compared to the darkness on their side, the other side was obviously much brighter.
Behind the desk that almost occupies the entire picture, there is a young man in a white shirt sitting. The glasses that emit an inorganic cold light under the light add a bit of sharpness and coldness to his straight facial features.
When he looked at Yan Zhou through the screen, he looked very majestic.
Fortunately, Yan Zhou is the protagonist, so he would not show any fear under such scrutiny.
Su Yuan saw the pattern on the wall behind him, the back of a card with the word S written on it and an intricate gold border.
This is the pattern on the emblem of the Card Master Guild.
The Card Master Guild, as the name suggests, is an organization dedicated to managing card masters. As long as you become a card master, you must go through the corresponding membership procedures.
With the help of the plot, Su Yuan recognized the other person's identity even though he didn't recognize the words on the other person's work station.
Clay, the vice president of the Card Master Guild, was the only one in the guild who was not from an aristocratic family. While everyone was praising him for being able to sit in this position as a miracle, they also felt sorry that he could only stop here.
Everyone believed that unless Clay could establish a connection with a prominent family, he would never have any room for advancement.
Clay, who came from a common family, was extremely disgusted with the aristocratic families.
The copy mutation incident was handed over to him to resolve.
"Yan Zhou, I'm glad you were lucky enough to get out of the dungeon." The polite words did not reduce the pressure on Clay at all. "The guild has a few questions that need your cooperation."
The importance of the dungeon has attracted strong attention from the guild.
Even though Yan Zhou is just a small figure at the moment, he has attracted Clay's personal inquiries.
"When did you come out of the copy?" Clay asked coldly while adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Yan Zhou said calmly, "Around 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon."
The scenes that overlapped with the plot made Su Yuan realize that the protagonist was lying.
Yan Zhou deliberately advanced the time he came out. The time he mentioned was when the mutation in the copy had not yet occurred. In fact, the moment when Yan Zhou came out happened to be when the mutation occurred. The copy object that caused him to be hunted was a copy product after the mutation had occurred.
Clay didn't say anything. He looked at Yan Zhou coldly. The glasses refracting under the incandescent light seemed to have the magical power to strike directly into people's hearts.
The air was a little stagnant, but Su Yuan was not worried. Yan Zhou in the plot successfully passed the interrogation.
As Su Yuan was waiting quietly, he felt a little sleepy. The continuous voices of Clay and Yan Zhou after a while sounded like a lullaby to him.
After an unknown amount of time, Clay, who had made some judgment, stopped asking sharp questions. He moved his eyes away from Yan Zhou and looked at the environment Yan Zhou was in from the other side of the screen.
When Clay's all-seeing eyes swept across Su Yuan's body, Su Yuan, who was yawning lazily, was instantly awakened.
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat for some reason. He inexplicably felt as if Clay had seen him.
It was fine when they were just watching Clay, but when Clay's eyes really fell on Su Yuan, Su Yuan felt that some nerves were being compressed and his breathing was suffocated. Clay's overly harsh and cold eyes made everyone he saw seem like a criminal who was sentenced.
Su Yuan, with cold sweat on his back, felt like he was caught and subconsciously wanted to get closer to Yan Zhou.
But before taking any action, Su Yuan quickly realized that it wouldn't matter even if he was really seen by Clay.
There is no way that Clay, who is extremely disdainful of aristocratic families, knows him. He is too common in this world as a card.
Su Yuan blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Clay who had already withdrawn his gaze.
But can Klay really see him?
Was the sudden fright he just felt real or fake?
Looking at Clay who seemed to be unable to see him, Su Yuan frowned. When he seemed to be about to droop his eyelids in fatigue, he suddenly made a face at Yan Zhou from behind.
The pretty face became wrinkled, Su Yuan stretched out his hand to make a pig nose, and stuck out his tongue like a ghost, but he didn't know yet that if he was good-looking enough, he would look cute even if he made faces.
Su Yuan regretted this childish, tentative act. Just as he was annoyed at his desire to retaliate for being frightened, Su Yuan's heartbeat became disordered in the next breath.
Because Clay, who was speaking, suddenly paused.
His eyes focused unconsciously and Su Yuan's heart beat uncontrollably.
Compared to the fact that Clay could really see him, the fact that his childish behavior just now was witnessed by such a serious person made Su Yuan want to disappear here immediately.
Just when Su Yuan, whose ears were turning a little pink, was thinking about whether to return to Yan Zhou's spiritual sea immediately, the person in the picture lowered his eyes and glanced at his own light brain.
A new message popped up, and it seemed quite important, so he immediately browsed through it for a while.
Su Yuan was stunned.
So it was just his illusion.
Was Clay's sudden freeze earlier due to this information?
Clay, who was like a working robot, quickly ended the topic when he started talking to Yan Zhou again.
Clay seemed to be busy dealing with another urgent matter.
When Yan Zhou made this judgment, at the moment when the video blur disappeared, he was stunned and somewhat keenly discovered that the corners of Clay's mouth, which had been as straight as a straight line, curved upwards into an imperceptible arc.
It seems a bit funny and doting.
Yan Zhou thought hesitantly.
Could it be that the message that suddenly popped up just now was from Clay's lover?
*
Yan Zhou, fully aware that the problem was not simple, took out the items he got from the copy.
It was an ordinary-looking bronze key, a style that is now completely obsolete, with jagged lines under the circle that could open certain locks.
When Yan Zhou was stroking the key thoughtfully, Su Yuan subconsciously thought of the chain on the statue's feet that he had just seen.
As if to find useful information, Yan Zhou moved his light brain and entered the hot search column of today's news.
When Su Yuan came over, he looked listless again because he didn't know how to read.
Yan Zhou coughed, thought to himself that it was cute, and set up the screen reader so that the computer could automatically play the text on the page.
The most eye-catching information is naturally the mutation of the copy. Unfortunately, the mutation of the copy has not yet ended, and the Card Master Guild currently has no idea about it. Apart from warning residents not to enter the copy, there is no useful information on the hot search.
As if to avoid causing panic after deliberate provocation, this hot search was set to prohibit discussion and no one could comment on it.
The optical brain quickly played the second trending search.
【The Xie family issued a statement, immediately severing ties with Xie Yuan.】
It seems that because the previous post was banned from commenting, this post has been discussed particularly heatedly.
:! What serious crime did Xie Yuan commit that made the Xie family expel him?
: Rumor has it that it's related to that good-for-nothing from the Su family. It's said that the Su and Xie families wanted that scumbag from the aristocratic family to marry Xie Yuan, but Xie Yuan refused to comply and was willing to be kicked out of the Xie family rather than obey the family's orders.
