Chapter 132
The player captain's words rang in Wen Xingxue's ears, sending chills down his spine.
He clenched his hands, closed his eyes, and suppressed the anger that was rising to his head. Not wanting to listen any more, he pushed aside a few people and went to pay the bill.
In the community garden.
Chen Wen carried a handkerchief with him, fetched water from the tap outside, and wiped Xingnuo's dirty little face clean.
Xingnuo looked up obediently, the cold water made him clench his fingers involuntarily. When he thought about his home being blown up, the tears in his eyes fell again.
"Little crybaby."
Chen Wen helplessly wiped Xingnuo's tears again and pinched his little face with a smile.
"Dad is not here. Even if the house is gone, we can just buy another one."
Xingnuo still felt uncomfortable, he nodded twice, raised his little face and saw his grandfather walking towards him not far away, he felt relieved again.
"Big Daddy! You're back!"
Xingnuo took a few quick steps and rushed over, hugging Wen Xingxue's legs, becoming a small pendant.
Wen Xingxue picked up the little guy, held the bag of marshmallows in one hand, and waved it in front of Xingnuo.
"Look, what is this?"
"Wow, it's cotton candy!"
Xingnuo took it, and before he ate it, the whole thing tasted sweet.
Chen Wen walked over slowly, and before he could say anything, a bag of marshmallows was stuffed into his arms.
"I bought you a pack, too. Eat something sweet to calm your nerves."
Chen Wen was stunned, looking at the bag of pink and white marshmallows, and was speechless for a long time.
He wanted to ask why they bought him one as well, or maybe he was a grown-up and didn't need to eat something sweet to calm his nerves like a child.
But after all these thoughts went around in his mind, Shen Wen finally said nothing.
Tearing open the bag of marshmallows, Chen Wen took a candy and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweetness melting rapidly between his lips and teeth, as if the irritability had dissipated a lot.
Even looking at Wen Xingxue's always gloomy and pale face, he didn't find it annoying.
Xingnuo tore the bag for a long time, and finally Wen Xingxue helped him open the bag.
He gave the first marshmallow to his eldest father who worked the hardest. Turning around, he saw his father already eating it. Then he fed the second marshmallow to himself who also worked the hardest.
Xingnuo was eating the soft candy. His big, watery and bright eyes curved into sparkling crescents and he was shaking his little head happily.
"It's great that our family is still together!"
Wen Xingxue's eyes also showed a hint of smile, and his expression became lively for a moment:
"Yes, as long as Xingnuo is healthy and safe."
When Wen Xingxue thought of those players with bad intentions, his expression became gloomy.
Chen Wen, who was standing next to him, was indeed the person who knew him best. When Xing Nuo was holding cotton candy to share with other sad neighbors in the community, he walked over and asked:
"What did you find?"
Wen Xingxue raised her eyes, her slightly long hair covering her dark eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Wen say:
"Don't try to hide it from me, Wen Xingxue. Although it may be a bit too confident to say this, I can see what you are thinking at a glance."
The tacit understanding between mortal enemies is sometimes even stronger than that between husband and wife.
Wen Xingxue remained silent for a long time before she spoke:
"I just met those people who set the fire, Shen Wen, I think our world is just a fictional place, it's not real."
Shen Wen nodded without any doubt and hummed as he sat next to her.
"That makes sense. So what? Do you want to kill those people first, or do you want to leave this fictional world first?"
Wen Xingxue raised her eyes. She was not surprised at all when Chen Wen accurately expressed her thoughts.
"I...actually I have both, but I'm a little scared."
Wen Xingxue said this and looked up at Xingnuo who was sharing marshmallows.
The fire burned a few strands of the little guy's curly hair, like exploding clouds. His eyebrows were curved, and when he smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.
She is very sensible but still has a childishness that cannot be faded away. She is so cute.
Wen Xingxue just watched like that, the happiness and joy in her heart bubbling out like a spring.
"I love Xingnuo very much, Chen Wen, why do you think I came to this fake world? Will the real world..."
"Impossible!" Chen Wen said firmly: "Xing Nuo will not be in any danger even if you die."
Wen Xingxue was choked and nodded:
"I also think that with your personality, it's impossible for you to let Xingnuo get into trouble. If it's not you or me, we might both be dead?"
Otherwise, why would we go through so much trouble to come to this fake world?
People live in a false environment, sometimes just to seek a non-existent perfection.
Wen Xingxue thought for a long time on the way here. Whenever he thought that one of the three might have died, his heart felt heavy and uncomfortable.
Wen Xingxue raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "If my guess is true, I hope I am the one who dies."
Chen Wen was completely stunned by his words, his light-colored pupils slightly widened involuntarily, and after a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"But don't you hate me and want to kill me with a knife?"
Shouldn't he be the one who wants to die?
When the two of them had not reconciled some time ago, they would fight with real force, and they would wish they could strangle each other to death in the next second.
Wen Xingxue lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then said:
"I do hate you, but now you're not that annoying. Besides, I think Xingnuo won't be wronged if he follows you. You treat him very well."
Chen Wen would patiently play the boring game of "Guess what's in your hand" with Xingnuo, match Xingnuo with all kinds of beautiful hats and clothes, and tell stories in a soft voice to coax Xingnuo to sleep.
Wen Xingxue can't do all these.
"I'm not good at taking care of children. Apart from doing some housework, I can't help at all. It will be the same without me."
Chen Wen felt inexplicably sad, depressed, and a little breathless.
After a long while, Shen Wen pursed his lips, looked at the dusty sky and said:
"You're pretty good, actually."
He is attentive and pays attention to the emotions of the whole family. Although he is silent, he never argues. He is always at the forefront of everything and has a full sense of security.
Sighing, Chen Wen stood up, folded his arms, and tilted his head to look at Wen Xingxue.
"Actually, this is just your assumption. In my opinion, there is another possibility when we come to a fake world."
Wen Xingxue only looked at it from a human perspective, but Chen Wen was different, as his thoughts were always special.
"What is possible?"
"Maybe we're just here to fight."
Wen Xingxue was silent for a moment, frowning and looking at Chen Wen, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"Fight? We can't fight in real life?"
Do you have to go to a place like this to fight?
Chen Wen curled his lips, lowered his head, and stared at Wen Xingxue with his glassy eyes.
"Why not? I think this is the most likely answer."
Chen Wen is not as sentimental as Wen Xingxue, and he did not come to this false world for any purpose of perfection.
He felt that if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he could pull him into his home court and kill him with one blow!
Wen Xingxue opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xingnuo, who had just distributed the marshmallows, ran over and threw herself into her father's arms.
"Dad, it's so cold."
Xingnuo put his little hands directly into his big dad's neck. Wen Xingxue suddenly felt a chill and frowned with cold.
But he did not take Xingnuo's hand away from his neck. Instead, he hugged Xingnuo and rubbed his little face.
"Cold?"
Seeing Xingnuo's little hands swollen like steamed buns, Shen Wen couldn't help but sigh.
"If you can't keep an eye on one, go play in the snow and see what happens to your hands."
Xingnuo giggled and kept trying to get into his big grandfather's arms, stuffing his little face, which was a little red from the cold, into his big grandfather's clothes.
Wen Xingxue opened her coat and wrapped the little guy in it.
"We can't stand outside anymore. It looks like it's going to snow. Let's find a place to stay first."
Shen Wen nodded in agreement, although he didn't seem to feel any coldness, and he didn't feel uncomfortable in such a cold temperature.
Chen Wen thought of what Wen Xingxue said, and then looked at his fingers that were not frozen red at all, and suddenly stopped moving.
Xing Nuo poked his little head out from Wen Xingxue's arms, looked at his father who had stopped behind him, and couldn't help shouting:
"Dad, come quickly!"
Shen Wen hummed and followed, but he couldn't help but touched his chest.
No heartbeat.
Chen Wen lowered his eyes, as if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and looked up at Xing Nuo who was laughing happily in Wen Xingxue's arms.
"I'm staying in a hotel with Big Daddy and Daddy!"
"Happy! This is the first time our whole family lives outside together!"
Wen Xingxue's eyes were full of doting. He tucked the little guy's head into his arms to shield him from the cold wind.
"knew."
Wen Xingxue turned her head again and looked at Chen Wen who had been staring at her from behind.
They were both startled, then quickly looked away.
Wen Xingxue booked a family suite in the hotel.
Fortunately, Wen Xingxue still had the bank card that contained her salary, enough money to stay in the hotel for a while.
Xingnuo was still excited. He jumped up and down on his little bed. He suddenly lay down with his pillow in his arms, rolled around and said it was so soft.
Xingnuo raised his head from under the pillow and saw his grandfather making the bed and his father wiping the coffee table with a tissue.
Snowflakes were falling outside again and the wind was howling, but the room was warm and with his two relatives by his side, Xingnuo felt that there was no better moment than now.
"Big Dad, Dad, I think I must be the happiest child right now."
Chen Wen wiped the coffee table for a long time but couldn't clean it, so he simply threw the tissue to Wen Xingxue, sat on the bed, hugged Xingnuo and went to the window to watch the snow.
"Really?" Chen Wen smiled, looking at the snowflakes outside the window that were getting bigger and bigger, and seemed to have experienced the happiness that Xing Nuo was talking about.
Wen Xingxue packed up quickly, knowing that Chen Wen might not be able to get used to the living there, and went out to buy disposable sheets and quilt covers.
As soon as she reached the stairs, Wen Xingxue saw several "players" she had met in the convenience store not long ago.
Wen Xingxue hid subconsciously, held his breath, and skillfully concealed his tracks.
The players' conversations continued:
"That's weird, why is that C-rank monster so hard to catch?"
"Otherwise, don't even think about killing the core monster. You can still get out by finding the clearance information."
"Do you have any ambition? Killing monsters can double your points! And this opportunity is so rare! In a newly opened dungeon, the monsters must be less alert. You may not be so lucky in another dungeon!"
The players were mumbling to each other, and Wen Xingxue was hiding in the dark. It took a while before he finally heard any information about himself.
"Why do you think Wen Shen is so strange? He doesn't seem to be the same as before."
"Isn't he the number one player on the leaderboard? He's a lone ranger, so how come he has a wife and kids in this instance? This is too weird!"
