CH 22.2

Three in one (part two)

Wen Qing: ???

I don’t care if you die!

He immediately hid his hands behind his back and quickly went downstairs.

Yu Xing lowly chuckled and leapt down two steps. While leaping, he called out to Wen Qing’s back, “You can’t do nothing in the face of death.”

“I saved your life last night.”

Wen Qing’s footsteps suddenly halted.

In fact, he wasn’t sure if Yu Xing, as a god, was on the same side as humans, or if he was on the opposite side.

If Yu Xing was good, he couldn’t let him die.

If Yu Xing was bad……

Wen Qing pursed his lips. He thought, it could be considered repayment for yesterday night’s life-saving grave, and other things could be considered later.

Yu Xing lazily walked to his side. He tilted his head, leaning close to his ear: “Little Father, you have to save me.”

Yu Xing had said the same thing before. The difference was, when Wen Qing had heard it previously, he was ashamed and angry. This time, he lowered his eyelashes and softly asked, “You- do you have any solutions?”

Yu Xing sighed, turning his head to look at the big clock on the wall. “There’s only twenty more minutes, it’s too late.”

Wen Qing slightly frowned and hurriedly asked, “What’s too late?”

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Yu Xing pressed his tongue behind his molars, pausing after every word. “To. Have. Sex.”

“I last very long.”

“……”

Wen Qing was speechless. He never expected that Yu Xing would still be in the mood to joke around at this sort of time!

Yu Xing winked and continued, “So let’s kiss.”

“Let’s kiss for twenty minutes.”

Wen Qing’s angered eyes had already begun to turn red. He gritted his teeth and asked, “You said this is the way to save you?”

Yu Xing slovenly nodded and spoke, “Yes, yes.”

“Only Little Father’s body can save me.”

Wen Qing grew even angrier. He was angry that Yu Xing was joking around when he was about to die. He was also angry at himself for sleeping through the whole day and not being able to figure out a way to clear the instance.

His eyes became redder and redder, and there was a layer of mist under his eyes.

Yu Xing’s gaze paused. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you hate to part with me so much?”

“Then how about……”

Before he finished speaking, Si Kong suddenly walked up to them, grabbed Wen Qing’s arm and quickly went downstairs.

Yu Xing’s lips curled. He snorted. 

“Nothing will happen to him.” Si Kong said.

Wen Qing was stunned. He stared at Si Kong’s side profile blankly. “What- what does that mean?”

Si Kong: “The literal meaning.”

With a dazed expression, Wen Qing was pulled towards the table and made to sit down.

He pondered for a while. He thought, would nothing happen if a god opens the door?

Or did Yu Xing have other, live-saving means?

…………

Wen Qing couldn’t figure it out. Seeing that Si Kong wasn’t going to explain, he didn’t ask further.

In short, nothing would happen.

The sound of friction between chairs and the ground sounded out one after another. One by one, Zhou Zhou, Ji Yu and Yu Xing took their seats.

Wen Qing glanced at the clock. There were fifteen minutes left before the voting session.

Li Si Wen still hadn’t been seen up until now.

He pulled at Si Kong’s sleeve and quietly asked, “What are you going to write down?”

Si Kong didn’t reply. He questioned back. “You?”

Wen Qing truthfully said, “I’ll abstain.”

He hadn’t figured out the most important point yet.

Wen Qing quietly asked, “Do you want to abstain with me?”

Si Kong: “I can’t abstain.”

Wen Qing paused. He ‘cannot’ abstain, not that he ‘doesn’t want to’ abstain.

He turned his head to stare at Si Kong’s side profile and suddenly realised something. “You gods, do you have a lot of restrictions?”

Si Kong hummed.

Wen Qing suddenly realised, “No wonder you and Yu Xing were always unclear every time you spoke.”

It turned out there were restrictions.

Si Kong’s expression was blank. He thought, what he and Yu Xing said was already considered clear.

After a moment of silence, he spoke up, “Here, whatever you do or say, it[1] knows it all.”

It?

Wen Qing thought for a while, and tentatively asked, “Are you talking about the system?”

Si Kong responded.

Wen Qing nodded and quietly said, “It’s the same in novels and tv dramas too.”

“Maybe it’s the power of alien technology.”

Si Kong: “……”

The next second, the empty chair on Wen Qing’s right was pulled away.

Yu Xing lazily crossed his legs and rested his chin on one hand. Smiling broadly, he said, “What do you want to know, little Father? I can tell you too.”

Wen Qing turned his head away, not looking at him. As long as he responded to Yu Xing, he (YX) would say a bunch of nonsense.

So, the best thing to do was to simply ignore him.

Yu Xing bent his fingers and lightly tapped on the table. “Si Kong, what were you talking about with our little Wen Qing?”

As soon as those words came out, Zhou Zhou and Ji Yu on the opposite side of the table lifted their eyes and glanced over simultaneously.

Si Kong didn’t speak. Only Yu Xing’s rhythmic knocking remained.

“Ta, ta, ta……”

The atmosphere was very strange.

Wen Qing was a little uncomfortable. His brows furrowed.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from the staircase.

Li Si Wen quickly ran down the stairs. She wore a long white dress, her long hair gently draped over her shoulders. She looked completely different from the madwoman she was yesterday.

Wen Qing was now especially afraid when she seemed normal. He stared at her firmly.

Li Si Wen’s face was rosy red, and she had a smile on her face. Even her eyes were shining.

She seemed more normal than she did yesterday.

As if she had heard some unprecedented good news, her whole energy was completely different.

Wen Qing’s eyelids twitched. After Li Si Wen reached the first floor, Zhou Zhou suddenly stood up. Together, the two of them walked towards him.

He was so frightened by it that his heartbeat quickened by two beats.

Li Si Wen stood in front of Wen Qing. She brushed her hair behind her ears, bowed ninety degrees, and sincerely apologised, “Wen Qing, I’m sorry. I was wrong yesterday.”

“I shouldn’t have tricked you that Si Kong wasn’t on the third floor. I shouldn’t have tricked you into opening the door, and I really shouldn’t have wanted to grab you to open the door. It was my mind that wasn’t clear, the game made me insane.”

While talking, she took another step forwards, getting closer to Wen Qing. “I also don’t expect you to forgive me. I just wanted to sincerely apologise to you. You- if you want to scold me, you can scold me. If you want to hit me, you can hit me.”

“So long as I can leave this place, I- I’ll be your slave for the rest of my life.”

Wen Qing didn’t know why Li Si Wen became like this. Not only did he not feel any regret, he felt even more afraid. Subconsciously, he moved closer to Si Kong.

Noticing his movements, Zhou Zhou’s eyes turned cold.

His lips curved. With a fake smile, he said to Li Si Wen, “Is your sincere apology only in your mouth?”

Li Si Wen was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. She straightened her body, raised her hand, and ruthlessly slapped herself. Her cheeks turned red instantly.

She glanced at Zhou Zhou. Seeing that Zhou Zhou was still dissatisfied, she hurriedly grabbed Wen Qing’s hand, “You hit me, you hit me.”

Wen Qing was so terrified that he hurriedly dodged and subconsciously hid beside Si Kong, until he was almost sitting on Si Kong’s body.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou grabbed Li Si Wen’s arm and smiled, “Qing Qing is soft-hearted. He won’t hit others.”

Li Si Wen stared at him blankly.

The corners of Zhou Zhou’s lips lifted. “I’ll help him.”

In the next second, a crisp slap rang out in the living room.

“Pa——”

Li Si Wen turned her head. Her right cheek swelled, and four clear and purple finger marks were imprinted on it.

Zhou Zhou lightly said, “Compared to the one you made, this one is considered gentle.”

Li Si Wen’s eyes seemed to dim. She raised her hand tremblingly and touched her swollen face. For a second, her expression distorted, and gradually, a smile slowly appeared on her face.

Because her face had changed a little, at that moment, her smile looked very strange.

Wen Qing felt chills down his spine. He unconsciously clutched at the things around him.

What did Zhou Zhou do? Or what did he say?

Li Si Wen’s mouth slanted. She tried to squeeze out a gentle smile, and with a slanted face, she said to Wen Qing, “I’m sorry. If you still want to hit me in the future, you can come to hit me anytime.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around, followed Zhou Zhou to the opposite side of the table, and sat back down in her original position.

Wen Qing stared into the air in a daze. After a while, Si Kong’s voice suddenly sounded beside his ears. “Hand.”

He slowly lowered his head, only to see that at some point, his hand had grabbed onto the pocket of Si Kong’s jeans, and it had even stretched inside.

Through a thin layer of cloth, he could clearly feel the scalding temperature of Si Kong’s body.

Wen Qing quickly withdrew his hand as if it had been scalded.

“S-sorry.” he slowly sat back on his own chair.

He had just sat down when Yu Xing’s lazy voice sounded in his ears. “If you like pants, you can take mine off.”

Wen Qing: “……”

*****

“Tick, tock.”

When the second hand reached nine o’clock, pens and paper appeared in everyone’s hands.

Wen Qing’s hands were still trembling a little, and he couldn’t hold the pen.

After a while, he still hadn’t written down a single word.

He waited until the white papers in everyone’s hands disappeared. Only then did he write down the word ‘abstention’.

【 Voting has ended. The votes will now be counted. 】

【 Player Yu Xing, one vote. 】

Wen Qing’s eyes widened. Yu Xing only had one vote?

【 Player Ji Yu, three votes. 】

When the system’s voice fell, Ji Yu raised his eyelids calmly, as if he wasn’t going to be opening the door.

Zhou Zhou straightened his back, placed his left hand horizontally on the table, and raised his right hand high up, just like a triple-A student who was taking the initiative to answer a question. He had a smile on his face: “Sorry, sir.”

“I’ll vote for you first.”
