Chapter 216 Would you like to come to my house as a guest?
Xu Han: "..."
Knowing he was in the wrong, his eyes darted around: "Oh right, I think I just said something..."
I really did interrupt Yu Shijiu when she was trying to say something to me...
It turns out Yu Shijiu wanted to tell him that he went the wrong way...
"Then where are we going now?"
Yu Shijiu realized that Xu Han probably didn't even know what he wanted to do, and that going shopping was probably just an excuse Xu Han made up on the spot.
For some reason, Yu Shijiu suddenly felt a little irritable.
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Xu Han snapped out of her reverie. "Oh, right, I have something to give you."
After speaking, Xu Han looked around to make sure no one was watching him, then took out a large bag of snacks from his system backpack.
He approached Yu Shijiu with a guilty look on his face and coughed:
"I specially got you these spicy strips. Take them home and eat them. Don't tell Sister An that I gave them to you. I don't know why, but she doesn't really like me eating these things, even though she sometimes eats them herself!"
Xu Han added a complaint at the end.
Yu Shijiu paused for a second, then subconsciously took the snack bag. His eyelashes trembled slightly for a second after seeing the considerable amount of spicy strips inside.
"why?"
"If you ask me, Sister An is overthinking it. I'm not a child, I definitely know I can't eat too much—huh? What did you say?"
"Why?"
Yu Shijiu patiently asked another question.
His hand holding the snack bag clenched slightly. The snacks that Anjie and Chen Yi had given him before he left were still hanging in his hand. Now, with the snacks that Xu Han had brought over, he was carrying two large, full bags.
It seems very heavy.
It also seems very light.
But the most important question is why.
Yu Shijiu didn't understand.
He knew that Anjie and Chen Yi wanted him to join them, but their attitude towards his current "recruitment" was not very obvious.
Anjie seemed to be worried about something, while Chen Yi seemed more willing to let things take their course.
But what about Xu Han?
What was Xu Han's reason?
"Why? What do you mean, why?"
Xu Han was bewildered: "What are you talking about? Why?"
Yu Shijiu: "..."
He now thinks Xu Han might have some "mental" problems.
He picked up the bag of snacks that had just been handed to him, "Why are you giving me this?"
"what?"
Xu Han's eyes widened in surprise. He chuckled, clearly not understanding Yu Shijiu's question:
"You like to eat this, so I brought you some. Do I need a reason for that?"
"..."
Yu Shijiu's eyes paused slightly, her amber almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion.
I gave it to you because I liked it; no reason was needed...
Is it just because you like to eat it?
"like?"
Yu Shijiu muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Yeah, you seem to really like spicy snacks."
Xu Han said with a serious face, "But like Sister An said, it's best not to eat spicy strips too often... they can easily cause mouth ulcers. I've had them before, ugh, although they weren't that painful, they were really annoying, you know? Just annoying..."
Xu Han is a chatterbox.
She's also a very, very, very talkative person.
After Yu Shijiu stood there listening to the complaints for almost a long time, he finally managed to extract the meaning of the word "friend" from the complex and chaotic thoughts in his mind.
The chubby guy next to him was so tired of hearing it that his ears were practically calloused.
It lay on the ground, restless yet skillfully raising its front paws to scratch its ears and lick its lips.
Is this strange boy about to start chanting scriptures again, meow?
So, are you going to my house?
Yu Shijiu suddenly interrupted Xu Han.
Xu Han was stunned for a second, then overjoyed: "Really? Is it a visit to your house or—"
"Yes, I'm here as a guest."
Yu Shijiu said.
This was the first time he had seriously extended an invitation to a boy:
Would you like to come to my house as a guest?
"Ah, this," Xu Han instinctively wanted to make a joke, but the words that came out were a direct agreement.
"Of course! I'm so happy!"
Xu Han was stunned after he finished speaking.
...Wait a minute, shouldn't I have pretended to be a big shot and boasted a bit before agreeing?
Why did that mouth suddenly agree?!
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yu Shijiu's lips curled up, and her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, like amber beads illuminated by light.
"it is good--"
What are you all talking about here?
A clear female voice rang out from behind, and Xu Han was suddenly slapped on the back.
Snapped--
Xu Han's face twisted instantly.
He Lingling still wore her hair in low pigtails, with white pom-poms hanging from the braids swaying slightly with the force of her movements.
She still had dark circles under her eyes from staying up all night playing video games, and she yawned as she said:
"Standing in the middle of the road, tsk tsk, aren't you afraid of getting hit?"
This was, of course, a joke. There were no cars, buses, or trucks in the town; people got around entirely on their own two feet.
After all, the town as a whole isn't very big.
Yu Shijiu looked at her with surprise for a few seconds: "You came out?"
“Mmm,” He Lingling blinked, tears welling up in her eyes.
"This game wasn't too difficult, it's just that a few players were too stupid. We told them not to go to a certain place, but they still went anyway, and ended up losing their lives for nothing... Otherwise, they could have gotten out sooner."
Speaking of those players, He Lingling got angry. They were about to pass the level smoothly when a few brainless, aggressive players thought they could earn some extra points. In the end, they didn't earn any points, and they lost their lives in the process.
"Ah..." Xu Han sighed, "Then our town will probably get new players again."
"Who says otherwise? So many people die every day in real life, you have to wait in line if you really want to get into the Dawn game."
He Lingling responded lazily, her drowsy nerves having cleared up considerably.
"By the way, what were you two chatting about? You stopped talking as soon as I arrived?"
Upon hearing her mention this, Xu Han immediately raised his head proudly: "Shi Jiu invited me to his house!"
"???!"
He Lingling's drowsiness vanished instantly. She looked at Yu Shijiu in disbelief and said with difficulty:
"You?" She pointed to Xu Han, who was looking up at the sky, and said, "Invite him to be a guest?!"
Yu Shijiu didn't know why He Lingling was so agitated, and nodded:
"Yes what's the matter?"
Xu Han chimed in, "Yeah, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
He Lingling: "..."
The dark circles under her eyes made her look even more haggard.
The next second, He Lingling burst into tears.
"Why? Why? I was the one who met you first! I even bought you milk tea! Why didn't you invite me to invite him?!"
"..."
Yu Shijiu's mind went blank for a moment, and then he actually remembered that He Lingling had once treated him to milk tea.
"..." He hesitated for a few seconds, then asked tentatively, "You're coming too?"
