Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 215 What are you hiding?

The next morning, after waking up and having breakfast, Yu Shijiu said goodbye to Feifei, and Anjie and the other two enthusiastically stuffed two large bags of snacks into Yu Shijiu's hands.

Yu Shijiu looked down at the bag of snacks in her hand, her gaze slightly unfocused for a few seconds.

Chen Yi chuckled and wiped his hands with the apron in his hand.

"If you get hungry, come and eat here. I may not be good at anything else, but my cooking skills are absolutely top-notch."

Yu Shijiu nodded, somewhat regretfully saying:

"I didn't get to try any of Brother Chen's cooking yesterday, but I definitely will next time."

Anjie's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Yu Shijiu's completely normal state and silently rubbed her fingertips.

"Cake is fine too."

Ange pointed to the cake behind her that she had only eaten a little bit of, and laughed heartily:

"I wanted to light a candle for you and make a wish last night, but I missed it."

Yu Shijiu was taken aback.

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Yi chimed in with a cheerful laugh, his plump, white face resembling that of Maitreya Buddha looking exceptionally benevolent.

"Shi Jiu will have plenty of time to come in the future, so why worry about not being able to light a few more candles?"

Anjie chuckled: "If Shi Jiu is willing to come, I would be more than happy to."

Yu Shijiu smiled slightly, her gaze passing over the two people to the seven-tiered cake behind them, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip.

The cake was delicious, and the dumplings from last night... were also very good.

He just messed it up himself.

Noticing that its owner was feeling down, Fatty licked the back of the other's hand that was hanging by its side, offering silent comfort.

Yu Shijiu looked down at Feifei and met its raised green eyes.

The extremely human concern in Fei Fei's eyes made Yu Shijiu vaguely feel that he was being cared for.

He gently patted the chubby head with his other hand, and when he looked up again, he smiled and nodded.

"I think this is a good idea."

Yu Shijiu smiled and said, "I will consider it if I have time."

This ambiguous statement agitated Anjie. She suppressed her intense emotions and stood beside Chen Yi, clenching her hands tightly.

"Be careful on your way back."

Anjie said.

The town appears peaceful because the guild that currently dominates it advocates "peace and stability," but this is only on the surface.

In the corners that the inspection team cannot see or detect in a timely manner, certain dark and corrupt things have always existed.

"Mmm," Yu Shijiu replied with a smile, "See you next time then."

Anjie and Chen Yi waved goodbye to him.

Xu Han, who hadn't said a word until now, simply stood next to Yu Shijiu.

"Um, Sister An and Brother Chen, I've been thinking about it and I've decided to go for a stroll in town."

As he spoke, he casually put his arm around Yu Shijiu's shoulder, lowered his head, and winked at Yu Shijiu.

Yu Shijiu stared at him blankly: "...?"

Why is he blinking?

Anjie didn't see Xu Han wink at Yu Shijiu. She frowned and said:

"What are you going out for?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you? Let's go shopping! Just browsing and seeing if there's anything I want to buy!"

Xu Han avoided An Jie's gaze and said to Yu Shijiu:

"Come on, let's walk together, and I can also familiarize myself with the way."

Yu Shijiu asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'know the way'?"

"I know the way to your house."

Xu Han said frankly, "From now on, we'll all be friends, so we need to know where our friends live, right?"

friend?

The two words Xu Han had said echoed in Yu Shijiu's confused mind, but they felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Can a madman have friends? Or...?

He turned his head to look at Xu Han, who was explaining things to An Jie beside him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

—Still such a weak friend.

Completely unaware that he was being disliked, Xu Han, after fooling An Jie, quickly grabbed Yu Shijiu and headed in a different direction.

"that--"

Yu Shijiu was about to say something when Xu Han interrupted her: "We can talk about it later, let's go now!"

Yu Shijiu's eyes widened slightly, and the words that had risen to her throat were swallowed back down.

What he actually meant was that they went the wrong way...

Behind him, Chen Yi released his hand that had been secretly tugging at An Jie's clothes.

Anjie frowned, patted the wrinkles in her clothes on her arm, and asked in confusion:

Why were you grabbing me just now?

If Chen Yi hadn't suddenly grabbed her, An Jie would never have let Xu Han run out alone.

“Sister An, Xu Han is not a child anymore.”

Chen Yi said, "He should go out and make friends, go shopping and have fun."

"Fun?"

Anjie subconsciously ignored the words "make friends" in Chen Yi's words and snorted coldly.

"Those who approach the game of Dawn with a playful attitude will not survive to the end."

"But those who don't have a playful attitude may not necessarily survive to the end."

Chen Yi retorted calmly, his tone still gentle: "Isn't that so?"

"..."

"...But you shouldn't just go out and wander around alone; towns are dangerous."

Xu Han is a rare case of a healing-type player with extremely few or no side effects.

In other words, Xu Han is not famous yet. Once he becomes famous, An Jie can't even imagine how many guilds will try to poach him.

"The situation in the town is relatively stable right now," Chen Yi stated simply, then clicked on An Jie's anxious and somewhat uneasy expression.

“Xu Han is already twenty years old this year. He should go to the town as an independent adult, instead of always going with one of us.”

“But his body—” Anjie instinctively retorted, but froze on the spot because of Chen Yiyang’s gaze.

That was his physical condition before he entered the game.

Chen Yi said earnestly, "He is in very good health now."

"Sister An," Chen Yi said, "what exactly are you worried about?"

"..."

When Anjie met Chen Yi's gaze, she felt that he seemed to have noticed something.

The atmosphere between the two instantly fell silent.

Realizing this, Anjie stopped talking. Somewhat embarrassed, she avoided Chen Yi's gaze and said with her head down:

"Fine, whatever."

After saying that, Anjie turned around and walked towards the second floor.

Behind him, Chen Yi silently watched her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, and sighed softly.

Sister An, what are you hiding from us again...?

------------

Just as the quiet road around them began to fill with the sounds of bustling voices, Xu Han, who had been walking forward with Yu Shijiu for about seven or eight minutes, suddenly stopped.

"Oh right, right!"

Xu Han turned to look at Yu Shijiu beside him, "Where do you live?"

Yu Shijiu looked at Xu Han, who had finally come to his senses, and pointed behind him:

"My home is over here."

"..." Xu Han was stunned for a second, then exclaimed, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Yu Shijiu: "?"

He opened his mouth, his eyes widening instantly: "Wasn't it you who dragged me forward with all your might?"

Now you're asking me why I didn't say anything earlier?
