Ye Ye's face turned dark instantly.
Worried that Wen Qing would drive him away again, Ye Ye could only curse Si Kong in his heart.
He walked to Wen Qing's side, lowered his head, and stared at their intertwined hands. He felt unhappy no matter how he looked at it.
After a long while, Ye Ye stretched out his hand, put it under Si Kong's eyes, and said with a sour face: "I touched it too."
Wen Qing: “…”
Sikong: “…”
Wen raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Ye.
Ye Ye pursed his lips tightly, his face looked very grim. He stared at Si Kong with displeasure in his eyes, and a hint of jealousy could be seen faintly.
Wen Qing was slightly stunned and stared at Ye Ye for a while.
He was not mistaken, Ye Ye was really jealous of Sikong.
Recalling Ye Ye's various strange reactions to Si Kong, Wen Qing suddenly had an epiphany.
Ye Ye is actually jealous!
It's probably like a child who gets unhappy when he sees his friends playing with others.
Wen Qing often encountered this situation when he returned to the welfare home during holidays.
Although he always thought that Ye Ye was an elementary school kid, he never associated him with a real elementary school student.
Only now did he slowly react to Ye Ye's thoughts.
Wen Qing knew that scolding and reasoning were useless at this time. The only useful thing was to make the other person feel that he was focusing his attention on him.
After hesitating for a moment, he tugged at Ye Ye's sleeve and shouted, "Ye Ye."
Ye Ye tilted his head, thinking Wen Qing was going to ask him when he touched it, so he lied and said, "I touched it when you weren't seeing it."
“…”
After a moment of silence, Wen Qing said slowly: "I'm hungry."
Ye Ye's attention was diverted at once, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Wen Qing asked casually: "What is it?"
Ye Ye glanced around, picked up the tablet on the bedside table, opened the mall, and started ordering dishes.
Wen Qing ordered a few dishes at random, and then asked Ye Ye: "What do you want to eat?"
Ye Ye curled his lips: "I don't want to eat anything."
Wen Qing said, "Then buy a piece of cake."
"Eating something sweet makes you feel good."
Ye Ye hummed twice, caught the key words, and asked: "One piece?"
Wen nodded gently.
Ye Ye was satisfied now. He straightened his back, raised his chin, looked at Si Kong proudly, and started to pick a cake for himself.
He had no interest in desserts, but since Wen Qing bought it for him alone, he became interested.
After dealing with Ye Ye who was in the way, Wen Qing lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
It wasn't just because Sikong's massage technique was good, but also because it was Sikong who was doing the massage. Wen Qing only felt his fingers were warm, as if the blood was circulating again.
Sikong took his hand back, rubbed his fingertips, and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel now?"
Wen Qing tried to bend his fingers and said truthfully: "It seems to be okay."
Sikong hummed.
Wen Qing hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Why is this happening?"
"It's okay if I can't tell you."
After a while, Sikong said softly: "Animals have many ways to protect themselves."
Wen Qing was stunned and didn't understand.
But one thing is certain.
His hands definitely have something to do with mermaids.
He touched the fish tail. Is the fish tail poisonous?
Wen Wei frowned slightly.
Not long after, Li Ran appeared at the door holding a pillow and quilt.
She pushed the door open with her body, and saw Sikong through the gap in the quilt. She asked blankly, "Does the tour guide have to sleep with us too?"
Hearing this, Wen Qing turned to look at Si Kong: "Are you going to stay tonight?"
Sikong frowned slightly and uttered two words: "No."
I can’t, not that I don’t want to.
Wen Qing understood that it must be Sikong's limitation.
Ye Ye was still picking out a cake for himself. When he heard Si Kong's words, he looked up cheerfully and said, "Goodbye."
Si Kong ignored him, glanced at the dark sky, stood up and said to Wen Qing: "Don't go out, good night."
"good evening."
As soon as Sikong left, Ye Ye signaled Li Ran with his eyes to close the door.
Li Ran closed the door with his buttocks and asked curiously, "What is the tour guide doing here?"
Wen Qing thought for a moment and explained, "I came here to help others."
Ye Ye snorted coldly and thought, bullshit helping others.
He put down the tablet and changed the subject: "I've ordered."
Li Ran's eyes lit up: "What's the best time?"
Ye Ye: "Midnight snack."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Ran warningly: "Don't touch my cake."
Li Ran nodded and asked expectantly, "What can I eat?"
"Anything else is fine," Ye Ye walked to the closet, picked out clothes and pants as if he was in his own room, and said to Wen Qing, "I'm going to take a shower."
Wen Qing picked up the tablet and took a look. In addition to the dishes he ordered, Ye Ye also ordered some other dishes. The amount was enough for two Li Rans.
Wen Qing handed the tablet to Li Ran and asked, "Do you have any other points?"
Li Ran glanced at it and shook his head, "That's enough, don't waste it."
After saying that, she spread the quilt on the floor.
Seeing this, Wen Wei frowned slightly and said to Li Ran, "You sleep on the bed."
Li Ran shook his head and said quickly: "I dare not sleep with you."
Wen Qing: "...You sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the floor."
Li Ran suddenly realized that this was what he meant.
She smiled and said to Wen Qing: "I can just sleep on the floor. I have a good sleep quality, so it doesn't matter where I sleep."
"You two should rest well in bed. Only after a good rest can you think about tomorrow's affairs."
Wen Qing didn't want to let the girl sleep on the floor, but Li Ran refused to go to bed, so he really had no choice.
Soon, Ye Ye finished his shower, and the food he had ordered earlier appeared on the table out of thin air.
Li Ran looked at the steaming food and couldn't help but say, "No matter how many times I see it, I always find it magical."
Ye Ye glanced at her and said, "This is not like a buffet restaurant in the human world."
"Yes," Li Ran nodded, "That's amazing too."
Wen Qing was stunned. He had seen those empty restaurants but had never eaten in one.
He asked curiously, "Is it the same in restaurants on earth?"
"Yeah," Li Ran turned around and asked him, "Haven't you been there before?"
Wen Qing shook his head: "I usually make my own food, or order it directly from the mall."
Li Ran pondered his words for a while and said enviously, "Is this the life of having a house? I envy you."
“Is it similar to the real world?”
Wen nodded lightly, then shook his head.
Apart from the fact that he had to enter a dungeon after a period of time, and that the dungeon would threaten his life, in other aspects, he lived a more comfortable life in this world than in real life.
Li Ran ate his meal with big mouthfuls, ate meat with big mouthfuls, looked at the clear sky and sea view, and couldn't help muttering: "It would be nice if there were curtains, so that I could see clearly inside from outside at night."
"It's too late to scrub at 12 o'clock. I'm so tired, who would stay up until 12 o'clock to go to bed."
Hearing her words, Wen Qingshou paused.
From the outside, you can see clearly from the inside...
Outside, inside...
An idea flashed through Wen Qing's mind quickly. Just as he was about to catch it, he heard Li Ran say again: "By the way, I didn't see any fish or jellyfish tied with red ropes in the aquarium today..."
"Not a single one."
Ye Ye pursed her lips: "Me neither."
Wen Qing came back to his senses and shook his head: "Not only that, the aquarium is different from other venues."
Although the animals in the monkey and bear houses did not actually attack tourists, they are similar to animals in the real world.
Only the animals in the aquarium are strangely friendly to all players, and the rules of precautions are also unique.
The aquarium is dangerous.
This can be seen from its own situation and Sikong's reaction.
Wen Qing pursed her lips and said, "Let's go somewhere else tomorrow, not the aquarium."
Li Ran nodded: "If we complete the advanced task, we don't have to go to the aquarium anymore."
Wen Qing responded.
Li Ran hesitated for a while and asked Wen Qing: "Will the tour guide know what the advanced tasks are?"
Wen Qing said truthfully: "He should know."
"But you can't tell us."
Li Ran blinked and asked again: "Can that give us a hint?"
It should be possible...
Wen Qing paused and said slowly: "Maybe he has hinted at it."
But they didn't find out.
Wen Qing began to ponder Sikong's behavior over the past two days.
It was normal at first, like an ordinary tour guide, but then things started to go wrong.
The aquarium should initially be like any other venue, with dangers, but not to the point of endangering the lives of the players.
Wen Qing recalled carefully that Sikong's abnormal reaction seemed to have started when they saw the mermaid on the reef.
Mermaid...
Wen Qing pursed her lips, tilted her head and asked Ye Ye: "Have you ever seen a mermaid before?"
"I have seen it," Ye Ye nodded and said to him, "In another strange copy."
Wen Qing asked, "What are they like?"
Ye Ye thought for a moment and said slowly, "In that strange copy, humans are at the bottom of the food chain."
"All monsters feed on humans. Mermaids rely on their appearance to deceive humans and hunt them."
"Those who are tempted by beauty..." As he said this, he looked at Li Ran suggestively.
Li Ran lowered his head and ate silently.
Wen Qing blinked and said, "That black tail seems to have never appeared in front of others?"
The other players seem to be unaware of the existence of merpeople.
Ye Ye glanced at him and said, "I'm not sure the mermaids in this copy are the same as the ones I encountered before."
Wen Qing asked again: "Can they sing?"
Ye Ye frowned: "The one I met could only scream, it was very unpleasant."
Wen bit the chopsticks lightly, hummed, and continued to think.
Ye Ye raised his eyes and saw Wen Qing looking at him.
Although her eyes were out of focus, her face was facing him.
Isn't this just looking at him!
Ye Ye's face was inexplicably hot: "Why are you looking at me?"
Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at him blankly: "I'm thinking."
Ye Ye's face turned even redder: "Why are you looking at me thinking!"
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and he just looked at it casually.
"Then I'll change direction."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the sea view outside.
Ye Ye muttered in a low voice: "I didn't stop you from watching."
For the next few hours, the three of them kept discussing the advanced tasks, but they had no clue.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was twelve o'clock in the evening.
The moment the second hand turned to the number 12, Wen Qingbian saw that the glass above his head had changed.
Starting from a point in the center, the transparent wall turned into a frosted texture, slowly moving down and down, covering the entire house, and finally leaving only a small transparent circle on the glass door, like a window, for them to look out.
Then, a familiar, melodious and ethereal humming sound came from outside.
Wen Qing walked to the door and looked outside, but there was nothing.
The singing in their ears was like 360-degree surround sound, and they had no way of telling the direction of its source.
A few minutes later, Wen Qingbian felt very sleepy and turned to look at Li Ran and Ye Ye.
Li Ran lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and said vaguely: "I'm so sleepy, I can't hold on any longer..."
Ye Ye's expression was normal and he was not affected by the singing at all.
Wen Qing rubbed his eyes, his head feeling heavy.
It's not the kind of unstoppable sleepiness, but a comfortable and natural sleepiness that makes people want to lie down in bed and sleep.
Wen Qing couldn't help but yawn and closed his eyes unconsciously.
He leaned against the wall, nodding his head and dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ye Ye frowned. He was about to speak when suddenly, a short, blurry black shadow appeared at the door.
“Dongdong——”
At the same time, the humming changed its tone, becoming more gentle and soft, as if it was coaxing someone.
Wen Qing was dazed for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and pretended to open the door.
Ye Ye frowned, walked up to him and grabbed his wrist.
Ye Ye's palms were very hot. Wen Qing woke up a little and looked up at him.
Ye Ye lowered his head. They were very close to each other. He could feel Wen Qing's shallow breath caressing his cheek, which made him feel itchy.
From the outside to the inside, the itch goes deep into the heart.
Ye Ye's throat tightened, and his fingertips moved, stroking the delicate and soft skin of his palm.
It's very soft.
Ye Ye couldn't help but touch it again.
Wen Qing was fully awake and looked at Ye Ye silently.
Ye Ye said calmly: "Wake up."
"Don't try to take advantage of me."
Wen Qing: “…”
