Things about spending money on games (4)
Without thinking, the two bodyguards quickly ran a few steps ahead of Shen Tang to the source of the scream, but were stunned by the scene for a moment.
It seems their worries are overblown...
The ones screaming in front of them were not their young master, but the fat kids in the welfare home. Their fat bodies were pressed to the ground while they screamed, and their faces were covered in bruises. The same injuries that Yan Lin had, these kids also had.
"Hey, how can you adults let him beat people up? Is there no justice in the world?" The little fat boy was so angry that his face turned red. In the past, he was the only one who bullied this skinny boy. How could it be this boy's turn to bully him?
The young man sneered softly and lazily raised his eyelids to look at the fat man lying on the ground tied up with tape. "You really are the only tough one from head to toe. In that case, just seal your mouth as well."
The tape sizzled, and the fat man looked at the young man in front of him in horror. The boy's eyes were full of indifference and coldness. He was not the thin man who was bullied by others at all!
"You are not Yan Lin, who are you? You are absolutely... mmm..." Before the fat man could finish his words, thick tape was stuck directly on his mouth, making him unable to utter a word. He could only roll around on the ground like a fat rat.
Shen Tang's steps were a little slower than the two bodyguards. When she hurried in, she saw a few familiar child kings being ruthlessly tied up like dumplings, even their mouths were not spared.
What's going on? She blinked twice and looked back at Yan Lin.
"Did they bully you again?" Shen Tang trotted over to the boy and looked down to see if there were any new wounds on his body. Fortunately, after a careful look, he didn't find anything unusual, so Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
"They wanted to hit me, luckily the bodyguards arrived, otherwise I might have been beaten again." The boy, who looked particularly fragile, lowered his head, with a helpless and pitiful look like a helpless little beast. His pink cheeks and slightly red eyes made Shen Tang scream in her heart, "Little cutie, kill me." However, she still pretended well, and always maintained a gentle attitude and a certain distance towards Yan Lin.
"They just need to be taught a lesson. You should stay away from these people in the future," Shen Tang patted the boy's arm gently to comfort him.
The bodyguards on the side looked at each other in bewilderment. When had they ever dealt with these little bastards? Wasn't this all done by the young master alone?
Although they thought so, they did not dare to tell the truth. The young master's cold eyes swept over them, how could they dare to say a word!
"I'm glad that Young Master is okay," Shen Tang couldn't help but rub Yan Lin's head twice. Such a poor and lovely child must be well protected.
"Can you please stop calling me Young Master, and stop using honorifics to address me?" Yan Lin's cheeks suddenly flushed. "It sounds really embarrassing."
Shen Tang was slightly startled, then burst out laughing. This boy is really shy. It just so happens that she is not used to being called that way. Since the other party has already spoken, why not do it?
"If you don't want to call me, then don't call me. By the way, did you get your stuff?" Shen Tang reminded him after remembering the reason why the hero returned. "We won't be coming back here in the future. Don't leave anything important behind."
The young man nodded, but his feet suddenly went soft and he fell to the ground.
Maybe I've been hungry for too long, and my body can't take it anymore, Yan Lin thought, and her eyes lit up when she saw Shen Tang's worried expression. They really seem to be so charming, whether it's their temperament or the feeling they give people, that they make people want to indulge in them.
So Yan Lin fainted in front of Shen Tang. Fortunately, she held the boy's shoulders in time to prevent him from kissing the ground.
"Ms. Lin, how about I do it?" One of the bodyguards watched Shen Tang effortlessly hold Princess Yan Lin in his arms. He was speechless for a moment before reminding her, fearing that Shen Tang's small body would also fall down.
"It's okay, this little weight is nothing to me." You know, she carried this kid like a princess several times during the first mission, and she had put so much effort into his diet, but he just couldn't gain weight. Sometimes she even suspected that he was not too light but that she was too strong.
"Host, be careful that the male protagonist finds out about what you are doing. Who is so gentle and pretty that would hug a man like a princess?" Little Lucky Bag's voice was a little annoyed. "Look, those two bodyguards have taken a few steps back!"
Shen Tang silently glanced at the two people beside her. The two bodyguards who caught her gaze were startled and took a step away again.
Tsk, you ignorant man, don’t you know what a strong Barbie is?
Shen Tang was too lazy to care about the twists and turns in these people's minds. He walked back with Yan Lin in his arms while talking to Xiao Fukudai, "Xiao Fukudai, I didn't say anything to you. Every time the male lead has something to do, you come out, and when it's okay, you retreat again. You are actually busier than me, the host."
Little Lucky Bag: "Host, don't talk nonsense. I care about your safety the most! I usually pay attention to your various indicators, and you still say that to me!"
Shen Tang was helpless when hearing the aggrieved voice of a certain system, so he could only comfort it casually and get away with it. This small system is just like the male protagonist, both of them are troublemakers. Shen Tang thought silently in his heart that it was fortunate that the small system had no entity, otherwise if it really became an entity, he would not know where it would stay.
During the bumpy ride, Yan Lin regained consciousness a little, but his head was still groggy, and he just felt someone holding him as he walked. He tried hard to open his eyes, but the weakness in his whole body made it difficult for him to do this.
Such a familiar embrace. Yan Lin smelled the familiar fragrance and subconsciously moved a little closer to Shen Tang's arms and then completely fainted.
"Xiao Lin is back." Mrs. Gu was delighted when she saw Shen Tang and the bodyguards coming back, but her face darkened when she saw Yan Lin fainting in Shen Tang's arms. "Hurry up and take them to the car, and contact a doctor to come home!"

"Huh, I finally got out of the game. I didn't expect this guy to be so stupid that he passed out like this." Shen Tang stretched his back while sitting on a pink gaming chair. He looked at the "Account Balance is Zero" prompt that appeared in the game and complained, "This game really requires real money. Even if you spend money, the hero can still be injured like that. If you don't spend money, I don't know if he will be beaten so badly that his parents won't recognize him."
Previously, Shen Tang chose to pay for the game because of the protagonist's background. In order to avoid the harsh environment, she chose the in-game Gu family couple to adopt the protagonist. On the one hand, it gave the paper man who was conscious of the protagonist in the game a reliable backer, and on the other hand, it could speed up the process of the protagonist and heroine getting to know each other.
"Host, don't forget to maintain your own personality in the real world, and don't let the male protagonist find out." After thinking about it, Xiao Fukudai decided that she still had to remind the host. The host was too careless, and she was really afraid that she would be discovered if she was not careful.
Shen Tang left the computer and walked slowly to the dressing mirror. He picked up the comb with one hand and started to comb his hair slowly. "Little Lucky Bag, have you forgotten that the male protagonist's consciousness only enters the game world when he falls asleep, and he won't remember anything after waking up."
"This..." Xiao Fudai didn't dare to say it out loud. There are still bugs in the main system after being attacked, but he doesn't know to what extent the impact will be.
"Ding", the cell phone on the table rang suddenly. Shen Tang stopped combing her hair and took the phone with one hand. A friend's call was displayed on the top of the phone, so she swiped and answered the call.
"Tangtang, do you want to go out and play today?"
Shen Tang had just put the phone close to her ear when the excited female voice vibrated her eardrum.
She is the heroine of the story. If she remembers correctly, this appointment should be for the heroine to choose a gift for her grandmother's birthday. As the plot develops, in this reality the heroine will meet the hero after he wakes up.
As for her, she is of course the booster of the relationship between the hero and heroine. Shen Tang curled her lips and smiled. When she first performed a mission as the heroine in this world, she did not realize that the female supporting role was secretly pushing her to meet the hero. It was not until the hero's feelings inexplicably deteriorated that she realized this problem. Otherwise, she would not have run away directly. Wouldn't it be nice to play in the mission world for a few more years?
Shen Tang sighed and wanted to quit, but this mission world is a mission world after all, and it is still difficult to slack off.
"Okay, let's meet at the coffee shop next to Huayin Plaza," Shen Tang's soft voice sounded, and Gu Rou immediately said "Okay", and then the two hung up the phone and began to dress up accordingly.
Shen Tang knew that her character in the game was rather gentle and soft, and she rarely wore bright-colored skirts when she went out, which was a pity for her. It was a pity that such a pretty face didn't wear a red skirt. If it weren't for the system's broken rules, she would have ordered a red skirt in a minute and went out to play.
The soft, pale little face in the mirror looked like a newly blossomed flower when she smiled, pure and lovely. Coupled with Shen Tang's own confident aura, this outfit, which seemed well-behaved and quiet, had a different charm.
At the appointed time, she came to the cafe carrying her small bag. Her light blue dress contrasted with her fair skin, and many people in the store were attracted by this fair-skinned girl.
Shen Tang looked around the cafe, finally found a seat by the window and sat down and ordered two cups of coffee.
It seemed that she came early. Shen Tang lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist and estimated that it would take another ten minutes for Gu Rou to arrive at the cafe.
How about taking this opportunity to see the next plan of the hero in the game? Shen Tang supported his head with one hand and drew a few simple little figures with his fingertips. The hero in the game has a background. If he had not been deliberately taken away from the Yan family when he was young, he would probably be enjoying the life of a young master in the Yan family now.
According to her understanding from previous missions, there are many people who have been keeping an eye on Yan Lin and don't want him to go back. If she wants the male protagonist to be successfully trained in the game, then letting him recognize his family is an indispensable condition...
The woman's clear watery eyes were fixed on the screen of her mobile phone, her lips slightly pursed, and she looked as obedient and focused as a snow rabbit, which stunned Yan Lin, who had just entered the cafe.
He didn't know why, but the person in front of him gave him a sense of déjà vu. Yan Lin pursed his lips and walked nervously towards the woman. The closer he got, the more obvious the blush on her fair face became.
"Excuse me...Have we met somewhere before?"
