Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 256 Goodnight, Little Madman

The blinding white light from the chandelier in the corridor shone brightly, illuminating Yu Shijiu, whose face was splattered with blood.

Having confirmed the young master's death, Lu Chusheng casually tossed the body aside by the door and reached out to help Yu Shijiu, whose condition was clearly not right.

"Xiao, Shi Jiu."

As the blood-dripping blade flashed towards him, Lu Chusheng didn't stop; he remained standing in place.

Boom——

"I go!!!"

Many players outside the screen were so startled by Yu Shijiu's sudden outburst that they stood up abruptly.

"Does Yu Shijiu want to kill Lu Chusheng?!"

"...Incredible! Yu Shijiu is amazing!"

"What's with the attitude? Isn't this blatant ingratitude?! Lu Chusheng was helping him just now, and now he's trying to stab Lu Chusheng in the back?!"

"He really is a mentally unstable lunatic!"

"..."

The players couldn't believe that Yu Shijiu would actually attack Lu Chusheng, and the chaotic chatter gradually subsided when they saw the scene on the screen.

"My goodness, I was almost scared to death... I really thought Yu Shijiu was going to fight Lu Chusheng..."

"...Who can argue with that?"

"..."

----------

The fruit knife, dripping with blood, stopped in front of Lu Chusheng. Its owner blinked slightly, then chuckled with a hint of curiosity:

Why didn't you dodge?

"...Why are you hiding?"

Lu Chusheng seemed unconcerned about the fruit knife in front of him that looked like it could pierce his eyeball at any moment.

What if I actually stab him?

Yu Shijiu said.

"Do you know?"

Lu Chusheng stared intently into the boy's eyes.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Seeing that Lu Chusheng did not show fear and wariness as he had guessed, he put away the fruit knife with some annoyance and snorted.

"I can!"

Yu Shijiu angrily wiped the blood off the fruit knife with the corner of Lu Chusheng's clothes, using a lot of force.

Lu Chusheng is really strange.

"Okay, then you can."

Lu Chusheng's tone remained calm. He couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Yu Shijiu's hair until it was completely messed up before he stopped.

Yu Shijiu: "?"

He dodged Lu Chusheng's hand, which was about to continue rubbing him, and said in disbelief:

"What are you doing!"

Lu Chusheng was silent for a few seconds, then quickly apologized: "...Sorry, I couldn't help it."

The boy's hair looked so soft and smooth when he lowered his head... and, for some reason, he always found the boy adorable... even though the boy had just killed someone...

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He gripped the dripping fruit knife tightly, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said in a dangerous tone:

"What can't you bear?"

Sensing the threat, Lu Chusheng remained calm. He glanced down at his watch and changed the subject.

"We should go back to sleep."

Lu Chusheng tapped the transparent surface of his watch with his finger bone. "It's already past 1:30."

They unknowingly spent nearly two hours in the corridor.

After saying that, Lu Chusheng took a lollipop out of his pocket and handed it to Yu Shijiu.

Before handing it to the other person, Lu Chusheng carefully unwrapped the candy.

Yu Shijiu is surprisingly "easy to fool" at times.

As he instinctively opened his mouth to put the sweet lollipop in, he instantly slurped it, made an "OK" sign with his hand, and mumbled:

"Okay, then we need to hurry back to sleep..."

I might have to get up early tomorrow.

Yu Shijiu licked the candy in his mouth and "agreed" very much with Lu Chusheng's suggestion to go back to sleep.

—It wasn't because the other party bribed me with candy that I obeyed.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

"cough."

His usually aloof eyebrows seemed to curve for a moment under the light, but the curve quickly disappeared.

"Then let's hurry back."

As Lu Chusheng spoke, he reached out and pulled Yu Shijiu's hand, which was hanging by her side.

Yu Shijiu glanced down at the other person's hand that was tightly holding hers, then looked away indifferently.

It's just holding hands and going back together, it's nothing.

but……

Yu Shijiu reached out and touched his chest with some confusion, feeling that his heart was beating a little too fast.

Bang bang bang.

It looked like it was about to explode.

It was like, a long time ago, he had also thought about leaving hand in hand with someone—

"what happened?"

Lu Chusheng seemed fine, but he looked at the boy's hand resting on his chest with some worry.

Did you get hurt when you attacked just now?

He then bent down to examine Yu Shijiu's "injuries"—

Yu Shijiu stopped him from lowering his head, his gaze wandering for a moment.

"fine."

Yu Shijiu said, "It's just that my heart suddenly started beating a little fast."

"..."

Lu Chusheng frowned suddenly, "Did you stay up too late? Is your body too tired and putting too much strain on your heart...?"

What followed was a series of explanations about the health hazards of staying up late.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

Yu Shijiu admitted that she quite enjoyed listening to this kind of popular science, but only if Lu Chusheng didn't make a sighing and helpless expression while speaking.

It looks a little strange.

Lu Chusheng is truly at a loss right now.

He froze on the spot after listing all the downsides of staying up late.

...We've entered a place like Dawn Games, how can we just say we won't stay up all night? If we don't stay up all night, we might even lose our lives...

Captain Lu, feeling like he had rambled on, wanted to slap himself hard.

"I see."

Yu Shijiu, who had already reached the door of his bedroom, nodded very seriously.

"I will try my best not to stay up late when I'm not playing games."

It can be a little scary when your heart suddenly starts pounding.

The chaotic thoughts in Lu Chusheng's mind suddenly disappeared.

He stood there, watching the boy who had already opened the bedroom door and was about to go in, and let out a sigh.

"pretty good."

Lu Chusheng quickly ruffled the boy's hair again.

"Then let's go to sleep."

"Good night."

Little madman.

Yu Shijiu, who had just entered the bedroom and had his hair ruffled again, was speechless.

He peeked out blankly at the tall man knocking on the door diagonally opposite, looking completely bewildered.

Why does Lu Chusheng like to rub his own head so much? Is it because he's gotten used to rubbing his chubby head—

"Good night."

Lu Chusheng, who was diagonally opposite, seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head and squinted slightly, and said goodnight again.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He slammed the door shut.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He gazed at the closed door not far away, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Captain Lu?"

A cautious voice came from behind the door.

The smile on Lu Chusheng's lips slowly disappeared.

"Well, it's me."

Ah Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door, her face beaming with delight.

"As expected! I knew Captain Lu would be safe!"
