PFRG: Chapter 165

Chi Ting had already taken the first step. He stood in front of the bed and turned his head to look at Lou Yueren, who was following behind him. He signaled with his eyes, “Go up.”

Such a natural tone wouldn’t feel out of place even if it was followed by the sentence, ‘Take off all your clothes and wait for me.’ This made Lou Yueren’s mouth twitch slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He blinked and obediently climbed into bed.

Soon, he heard slight movements behind him. Chi Ting was sitting casually at the head of the bed. He wasn’t lying down but leaning against it very naturally.

Lou Yueren asked, “You won’t lie down?”

Chi Ting lowered his eyes and asked in a strange manner, “Sleeping with you doesn’t mean we are sleeping together. Why should I lie down?”

After a moment of silence, Lou Yueren sighed softly and was about to reach out his hand. “But I miss you…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw Chi Ting locking his wrist very neatly. In the blink of an eye, he had wrapped the beads around it a few times. Then he skillfully pulled Lou Yueren’s whole body up and tied it tightly to the head of the bed.

Chi Ting’s tone was unwavering. “No, you don’t want to.”

Lou Yueren: “.”

At this point, he could only resign himself to his fate and surrender. “Okay, I don’t want to. I just want to sleep.”

It obviously wasn’t comfortable to have both hands tied above the head like this. Lou Yueren finally adjusted his posture and reminded before closing his eyes, “What you said just now is right. Just accompany me to sleep, but don’t sleep with me. Otherwise, it is likely that your memories will be collected again in the process of sleeping.”

“Okay, I got it,” Chi Ting replied. “Good night.”

Lou Yueren finally closed his eyes without any attachment. “Good night.”

The surroundings became completely quiet.

It wasn’t until the person next to him had completely stopped moving that Chi Ting, who had been leaning against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. A barely perceptible curve finally appeared at the corner of his lips.

In fact, the main reason why he followed was that he was somewhat curious about the so-called ‘procurement’ process.

Now it seemed that the person on the bed fell asleep extremely quickly due to the existence of this mysterious power.

Chi Ting’s gaze fell on Lou Yueren’s face. He noticed that the sleeping man had unknowingly furrowed his brow.

After a brief gaze, he came to his senses and realized that he had subconsciously reached out and pressed lightly on the furrow. “……”

—‘In the past, you were the one who took the initiative. Do you want to give it a try?’

These words inexplicably flashed through his mind. Chi Ting moved his gaze down a bit. He slowly leaned toward the man with calm breathing and tentatively kissed him lightly.

This action was more like verifying something than testing. After letting the person go, he sat up again. His breathing quickened due to this slightly accelerated heartbeat. This feeling was clearly one of pleasure.

Even though this person’s words were half true and half false, it now seemed that not all of it was false.

At the very least, he didn’t reject this intimate process. In terms of his body’s reaction, he even enjoyed it.

Seeing that Lou Yueren had fallen asleep, Chi Ting stood up from the head of the bed. He withdrew his gaze from his person and turned back.

Tonight, only Lou Yueren and Hua Qianmei had a small purchasing task. There was nothing set up in Chi Ting’s room. He lay down on the bed and gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.

For everyone in the Dawn team, the night before the final business day turned out to be the most peaceful night they had ever spent in the instance.

Chi Ting was sleeping very soundly, but the moment he heard the noise coming from next door, he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed over at the first possible moment.

At this time, only a trace of morning light had appeared outside. The whole air was filled with the coolness of morning dew. He turned his head and saw the figure sitting up on the bed. It was as if this person had just experienced a fierce battle. His chest was clearly rising and falling under his violent breathing. It was obvious that he hadn’t fully recovered at this moment, so even the movement of Chi Ting rushing over didn’t attract this person’s attention.

Chi Ting didn’t remember what happened a few days ago, but he recalled the discomfort he felt when he first woke up after his memory was lost. He walked straight to the bed and asked, “Are you okay?”

Lou Yueren’s breathing was a bit unstable. He seemed to have just reacted after hearing this voice. He raised his eyes. His eyes were still a bit distracted when he met Chi Ting’s gaze, but he soon controlled it. “You…”

“You don’t look good.” Chi Ting quickly checked Lou Yueren’s condition and glanced at the obvious cold sweat on the skin. He thought for a moment before saying, “However, you probably don’t remember what you forgot.”

“You…” Lou Yueren took a deep breath to calm his breathing. He quickly suppressed the chill that enveloped his body, raised an eyebrow slightly, and finally said the rest of the words, “Who are you?”

These few short words made Chi Ting freeze in place.

His brow furrowed. “Don’t you remember me?”

“I think…” Lou Yueren slowly lowered his head and pressed hard against it.

Chi Ting’s brow furrowed even more.

So far, he had basically understood the complete situation of the instance.

Judging from the known information, the memories lost by each person during the ‘procurement’ process were random. It was such a small purchase amount yesterday, but Lou Yueren actually lost the part of the memory related to him. This luck was a bit too bad.

What concerned him more was that compared to this bad luck, the thing that ruined his mood was the sentence asking him who he was.

Obviously, he didn’t remember what happened between him and this man before.

“Then do you remember where you put the notebook? The one you used to write your love diary.” Chi Ting thought about where Lou Yueren had put the notebook before, and bent down to find it. “I can’t answer your questions, but if you read the content in it, you will probably know…”

Before he could reach out his hand, Lou Yueren grabbed it and said, “You look very anxious.”

Chi Ting glanced at him. “Aren’t you anxious?”

Lou Yueren didn’t answer until Chi Ting searched around and failed to find the notebook. He wanted to reach out to stop him but was pushed away by Chi Ting.

At this moment, his expression finally showed some fluctuations. He saw that Chi Ting was about to run to the closet, so he finally cleared his throat and said, “Um… don’t be anxious…”

Chi Ting didn’t look back. “We can talk about this when you remember it.”

Lou Yueren couldn’t hold it any longer. “…Dear, there is really no need to be anxious.”

“I just said, wait for you…” Chi Ting stopped talking abruptly. He caught something and turned to look at this person. “What did you call me?”

Lou Yueren tried very hard not to avoid his gaze. “Ahem, Dear. Well… I was just teasing you just now. So, you really don’t have to be anxious. I…”

There was a bang. Before he could finish his words, Lou Yueren was pressed down heavily by Chi Ting, who had turned around quickly.

He didn’t even dare to make a sound when he felt pain from the collision. He softened his attitude instantly under the other person’s fierce gaze. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have teased you with such things. I’m sorry, it is my fault.”

The air currents around them seemed to freeze the moment their eyes met.

After more than ten seconds, Chi Ting finally stood up and let go of Lou Yueren. He closed the cabinets that he had turned upside down one by one.

Lou Yueren leaned against the head of the bed and looked at this person’s back, subconsciously slowing down his breathing.

He had been awake for a while, but it was only at this moment that he clearly felt the coolness brought by the sweat all over his body.

It was true that he had been teasing Chi Ting, but it was also obvious that he had lost some memories.

The feeling of being able to capture something that was missing made him feel as if he was back in the Love Apartment the moment he sat up from the bed.

It was a painful past that was enough to drive anyone crazy, and no one would even want to look back on it.

Yet in completely different situations, the same thing happened. The man in front of him suddenly broke in without warning.

Bursting into his world without warning.

Lou Yueren didn’t know why he suddenly had the urge to tease Chi Ting, but now it had become one of the most regrettable moments in his life.

Chi Ting didn’t say anything, but seeing this back view, Lou Yueren was inexplicably certain that he was really angry.

Since the last business day was finally approaching, the members of the Dawn team gathered together after waking up and held a rare, detailed meeting about the instance.

During the whole process, Lou Yueren kept glancing at Chi Ting’s very normal expression from time to time. The more normal Chi Ting looked, the more uneasy Lou Yueren felt.

After trying to get close countless times but being rejected, time was running out and he had no choice but to sit alone in front of the counter.

He felt someone patting his shoulder and turned around to meet Hua Qianmei’s gaze. Lou Yueren couldn’t help sighing. “If you want to gossip, I suggest you end the topic right here.”

Hua Qianmei did want to ask something. Then after hearing this, she blinked and instantly took back the question that was on her lips.

She got the answer she wanted and laughed out loud without hiding it. “I’ve always been curious about when you would have a car accident. Now it seems that it is late, but it came.”

Lou Yueren laughed back. “…Haha.”

“Okay, stop chatting. Tie is up,” Chi Ting calmly reminded.

Midnight of the last day finally arrived. The tightly closed door was opened again.

They had been mentally prepared, but solemn expressions appeared on the faces of the Dawn team when these figures walked in one after another from outside.

It was completely different from the previous six days. Six figures walked in together instead of entering the restaurant independently.

At this time, the entire model had been replaced. After the last figure walked in, another identical ‘Dawn team’ stood in front of everyone and fell into the eyes of all the spectators in the square.

What the players in the instance didn’t know was that the same situation was happening in every current instance.

Just as all the players held their breath in such a tense atmosphere, there was a clock, and the screen walls in the center of all the squares of each world went completely dark.

“What is going on? It is the last day. Why is everything suddenly disconnected?”

“Is the live stream malfunctioning? At this very moment?”

“F*k ahhhhh, it just reached the most critical moment. It just had to be cut off right here!”

“Oh my god, I’m going to contact the administrator right now.”

“Don’t bother. I just asked, and the system replied that there is no bug. It is just the instance setting.”

“Does the instance setting mean there is something we can’t see later? This feels like something big is going to happen!!!”

The entire unlimited world was in an uproar.

In the instance, the Dawn team was unaware of the chaos outside.

The door was still swaying when Hua Qianmei entered the restaurant as the sixth customer.

A few seconds later, the seventh customer of the evening appeared. It was a petite figure wearing an exquisite Lolita dress. There was a luxurious hat covered with black gauze, which hung down to cover part of her cheeks but didn’t prevent her delicate red lips from being seen. The tip of the black umbrella in her hand tapped the ground lightly as she walked in.

Click, click, click…

The seemingly random sound strangely and perfectly matched the background sound.

This girl was different from the other Dawn team members. She didn’t stand in the aisle at the entrance, but walked straight past it and went to the VIP seat in the center. She sat down slowly, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked at the players in front of the counter without any hurry.

This person was undoubtedly different from all the other NPCs. This made Chi Ting silently examine her. He already had a guess in his mind. “You are…”

Before the girl could speak, Lou Yueren had already confirmed his thoughts. “Designer.”

The girl laughed softly when she heard this.

She put the umbrella aside, stood up, and bowed gracefully. “I am very happy to meet all of you on the last night. Let me introduce myself. I am the designer of this instance, No 3.”
