PFRG: Chapter 91

The permission he got instantly made Yue Ren feel very good. At the very least, this was a signal that it wasn’t just him who felt happy emotions.

His eyes hidden in the darkness were filled with a strong smile. He even took advantage of the situation and moved a bit closer. He gently rubbed Chi Ting’s shoulder with his chin. “Seeing that you were trying to separate the rooms downstairs, I thought you weren’t ready to have a good chat with me.”

Chi Ting, who had just been attracted by the itch on his shoulder: “……”

Why did the words ‘separate rooms’ sound so subtle when combined with this resentful tone?

He wanted to turn around to see Yue Ren’s expression, but was locked up tightly and couldn’t turn around. After thinking for a while, he could only say, “I just think it would be better to wait until we are calmer before talking.”

Yue Ren slightly raised an eyebrow. “When will we be calmer?”

Chi Ting tried to express himself clearly and make the man realize he wasn’t normal at this moment. “For example, you are obviously still under the influence of the ability. Otherwise, you never thought of climbing into my bed in the middle of the night when we lived together before. But now, you just did it.”

Yue Ren laughed. “Are you sure I haven’t climbed into your bed?”

Chi Ting was slightly stunned. He recalled the past and finally remembered the night when he slept in the same bed in the hotel in front of several players in the Lost Treasure instance.

However, this didn’t seem to count, right?

The silence made Yue Ren realize that Chi Ting had already remembered. The laughter in his tone became even stronger and he asked again, “How do you know that after that time, I didn’t crave the feeling of sleeping in the same bed as you?”

Chi Ting moved his body. This time, he finally got rid of Yue Ren’s restraint and turned his head. He put his hand on the other person’s chest to make him move back a bit and reminded, “You have such things, which is completely due to the distortion caused by excessive alienation. You shouldn’t be the type of person who likes to be controlled by external forces. Now you have just left the instance and there are still some effects. I can understand this, but you had better think carefully before expressing any remarks. After all, if you regret it after you calm down, you will be the one who is socially destroyed.”

However, the moment he finished speaking, Yue Ren came closer again. “Don’t worry, I will never regret it. I might not like being controlled by external forces, but I have always been willing to follow the idealism in my heart. I think that when the alienation was too high, I only wanted to be close to you instead of others. This alone is very telling.”

With his actions, their lips almost touched in the darkness and their hot breaths intertwined in an instant. “Besides, we are all adults. It seems to be a very normal thing for us to have a boyfriend or something.”

There was a brief silence once these words came out.

After a long time, Chi Ting laughed softly. “Do you want a boyfriend or a bed partner to vent your desires?”

“Of course, it is a boyfriend. I have always been very responsible.”

Yue Ren moved closer and the tips of their noses lightly touched. “You might think that the high-intensity alienation I just experienced has driven me completely crazy or that I am just acting on impulse, but what I am saying now is true. Since entering the Sanctuary, I have been thinking about only one thing. Finally, I came to the conclusion that if you really thrown yourself into the arms of another person one day, I don’t need any external force. My possessiveness that is different from ordinary people will be enough to make you feel what it means to be completely crazy.”

As their breaths entangled with each other, their thin lips moved closer again and finally touched lightly.

Like a signal of inquiry, Yue Ren saw that Chi Ting had no intention of pushing him away. Thus, Yue Ren pulled him forward a bit and was about to kiss him when he heard Chi Ting suddenly say, “Wait a bit longer.”

Yue Ren’s movement suddenly stopped. In the darkness, only the vague outline of the other person’s eyebrows and eyes could be seen.

After being stunned for a moment, he laughed a bit. “Why didn’t I realize that you are actually a fishing person before, Chi Ting? Accept if you want or refuse. You actually said to wait… you are definitely a scumbag. Why do you sound like you are deliberately hanging me and don’t want to take responsibility?”

“No matter whether I take responsibility or not, let’s wait for a while.” Chi Ting didn’t fall for his trick this time and calmly pushed away the kiss that was about to come. He stared at Yue Ren in the night and said clearly, “No matter what, I still hope to talk about everything after we calm down. If you are sure that you still have the same idea at that time… I am willing to give you a final answer after thinking it through.”

Yue Ren looked at the hand that pushed him away again and his eyes lowered slightly. “…You are more ruthless than I thought. I almost sold my body but you aren’t moved at all.”

“I can’t say that I don’t have any feelings at all, but I’m really not a person who is suitable for a relationship. After all…” Chi Ting paused before saying slowing, “After all, you have seen my degree of alienation. This level of human content can actually be regarded as a complete monster in some ways. Yue Ren, how much emotion do you think such a monster can really retain even if I behave normally?”

He didn’t say it explicitly but Chi Ting knew that Yue Ren should be able to understand it.

He had people he wanted to save and teammates he wanted to protect, but he never had a partner to fight alongside him. Throughout the apocalypse, he might’ve behaved like an ordinary person but he could clearly feel that many human emotions were gradually disappearing. He just know what he should do to continue to maintain the so-called ‘kindness’, but this didn’t mean he was sure that he could do what a ‘boyfriend’ should do in the future.

He didn’t know whether he still had the emotion of ‘loving’, just like Yue Ren couldn’t figure out whether he was just obsessed with an overly strong ‘possessiveness.’ Comparing the two, Chi Ting felt that his situation was more troublesome.

The moment these words came out, Yue Ren didn’t speak again for a long time.

Just when Chi Ting thought that this man had fallen asleep without realizing it, he heard Yue Ren say, “You aren’t a monster. Besides, you can only be possessed by me.”

Not even half a second had passed since he finished speaking when he chuckled again, “In any case, it is half an agreement. I’ll definitely talk to you about it later.”

Chi Ting: “……”

Chi Ting also realized that what he thought was a problem wasn’t a problem at all in front of this person.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. After a long time, he ended the topic helplessly. “Then good night tonight.”

“Yes, good night.”

The conversation ended successfully. Chi Ting thought that Yue Ren should go back to sleep but he didn’t expect that Yue Ren wouldn’t leave. Instead, he moved toward Chi Ting naturally and said shamelessly, “In fact, I have been seriously affected by the degree of alienation. Let me hold you for a while tonight. I feel at ease when you hold me.”

He was the one who said he wasn’t affected, and he was also the one who said he was severely affected.

In any case, all the words were said by this guy alone.

In this posture, Chi Ting looked up and lingered for a long time on the sexy curve of the jaw in front of him. After his heart moved inexplicably, he slowly closed his eyes.

Wasn’t he a monster?

The man answered the question that Chi Ting himself hadn’t been able to find the answer to for a long time in a completely irresponsible way.

After leaving the Ark Laboratory, everyone slept very soundly.

Chi Ting thought that since there was an extra person on the bed, he would wake up quickly. He didn’t expect that it would be two days later when he opened his eyes.

Yue Ren had woken up at an unknown time and was hugging him very naturally.

It was only when Chi Ting woke up that he realized he had rested his head on the other person’s arms at an unknown time.

Seeing the tall figure heading into the bathroom, Yue Ren moved his stiff arm. For a moment, he couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes.

It wasn’t until a while later when he noticed that Chi Ting had regained his usual calm demeanor that he asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

“Get Old Song into the team and complete the team certification yet,” Chi Ting said after observing Yue Ren for a while. “Have you rested well?”

“Of course.” Yue Ren laughed. “After all, I haven’t slept so peacefully for a long time.”

He finished saying this and didn’t forget to mention very naturally, “How about we sleep like this from now on?”

“……”

Chi Ting felt that he was constantly being challenged by this person’s skills. He cleared his throat and ignored the suggestion. “Then let’s get ready to go.”

Yue Ren shrugged regretfully, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The two men, who had recovered, went out in a refreshed manner.

What surprised Chi Ting was that Ji Xingque didn’t fall asleep directly this time. As soon as he received the message, he went straight downstairs to gather.

After meeting and listening to Ji Xingque complaining about his grievances, Chi Ting realized that Little Bird had been in a sweet dream but was awakened by Song Xuefeng’s bombardment of messages. Now he was crying and sobbing. The story of not being able to sleep for a few more days was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it would cry.

“Captain, you must have a good talk with Old Song. He went to rest comfortably after finishing the instance. Now that he has rested, he actually started to harass others! This is completely allowing himself to slack off. How can there be such a person?”

Ji Xingque, who hadn’t gotten enough sleep, was irritable all the way. Once he saw a figure appearing outside the hotel door, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward the culprit. “Okay, you came just in time!”

Song Xuefeng happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun when he came in. He slowly lifted his drooping eyelids. After a few seconds, he commented lightly. “Very energetic.”

“I’m energetic you XX…” Ji Xingque almost exploded on the spot.

Chi Ting interrupted their conversation at the right time. “Okay, it is true that we’ve almost rested. We still need to complete the team certification and confirm if there is anything else we need to prepare.”

Song Xuefeng obviously knew the situation of the team certification. He sighed when he heard this. “Hey, it is another instance.”

Ji Xingque pointed him out to Chi Ting as if grabbing his pigtails. “Captain, look. He must be thinking of some way to slack off again!”

Yue Ren couldn’t help laughing.

Chi Ting looked at the three people in front of him and rubbed his temples due to a headache.

They were basically his former team members but he had to say that this team was as difficult to lead as ever.

After the group ate and drank their fill, they accompanied Song Xuefeng to the counter of the administration bureau to complete the team member registration.

Soon, the four people belonging to the Dawn team arrived at the entrance of the instance together.

This type of ordinary instance entrance passage wasn’t much different, regardless of whether it was in the Sanctuary or the small worlds.

Following the prompts of the previous staff member, Chi Ting stopped and walked along the random entrance passage.

After arriving at the portal, he would find an additional ‘matching team certification test’ option in the entry selection column.

Song Xuefeng was in a daze the whole way. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. “Oh, Captain. Captain Rong asked me for your ID. It should be to send a friend request. Have you accepted it?”

Chi Ting hadn’t been paying attention to his friend messages. Now he clicked on it and saw friend requests from several members of the Watchtower team.

He clicked ‘accept’ and closed it again without paying much attention. He looked at others and confirmed it. “Are you ready?”

The others nodded. “We are ready.”

After getting a reply, Chi Ting entered the instance without hesitation.

The light instantly engulfed the four of them.

[Ding—!]

[Welcome the Dawn team to the instance: Strange Stories Arcade.]

[Type: Gambling game.]

[The current number of survivors in the instance: 18/18.]

[The game is being imported.]

[Attention, please follow the rules of the game!]

……

Just as the four members of the Dawn team fell into the familiar feeling of weightlessness, several members of the Watchtower team discovered that their friend request had just been approved.

After leaving the instance, Rong Jie actually asked Song Xuefeng for Chi Ting’s friend ID as soon as he came to his senses. However, he didn’t receive a response for a long time after sending the request.

During this period, he had specially looked for Song Xuefeng to inquire about the situation. Now he finally added Chi Ting and was about to send a message to express his gratitude, but he ended up watching the other party switch from a normal ‘online’ status’ to ‘in the instance.’

Rong Jie: “…???”

Lan Pengyue also obviously noticed the change in status and looked over in shock. “Captain, are they going to the instance again? At this time, could it be…?”

Rong Jie also came to his senses and immediately looked for Song Xuefeng on the list. Sure enough, he found that this friend, who always delayed entering the instance, actually entered the instance at this time.

It was no longer a question of whether to rest or not. Judging from the situation, these people were obviously going to the instance together to get the team qualification certification.

It was really swift and decisive.

Rong Jie thought that he was already a hard-working person, but compared with these people, he felt that he wasn’t good enough. He felt speechless when he compared it to the previous instance where he had to persuade Song Xuefeng with great effort to enter early before the safety time was over.

Sure enough, no matter who it was, there was no rule that was absolutely impossible to change. The only thing that matter was whether there was someone w ho made him willing to break the rules.

Rong Jie shook his head in shame, finished the beer in the glass and was about to stand up. Then he glanced inadvertently at the instance exit not far away.

The few players who refreshed here had obviously just come out of an instance. Among all the exhausted figures, a tall figure stood out.

The big, wavy, wine-red hair made the figure in the crowd look even more charming.

She walked into the bar where the Watchtower team was, hooked her toes and dragged a chair over. Then she tapped her finger on the table lightly. “Five beers, thank you.”

Compared to the other players in the same batch, she looked more calm and composed. She didn’t show much fatigue.

She was waiting lazily for the beer for be served. But perhaps his gaze was too eye-catching, so she finally looked back with a half-smile. “My friend, you have been looking at me since just now. What can I do for you?”

Rong Jie hadn’t recovered from his shock yet and was really confused for a moment.

Soon, he said carefully, “Mei…”

Hua Qianmei had long noticed that Rong Jie had been staring at him.

She was often approached by people. For a moment, she thought this person was just one of them. After hearing this, the smile in her eyes was made even brighter by her bright hair color. “Not saying it yet?”

Rong Jie muttered, “…Mei Mei?”

Hua Qianmei originally wanted to tease Rong Jie about why he was stuttering. Suddenly, she realized something and the corners of her mouth narrowed slightly.

She lowered her eyes, looked over very blatantly and confirmed, “What did you call me?”

Nearby, the members of the Watchtower team were a bit stunned by the captain’s sudden approach. Gradually, they all adopted an attitude of watching the show.

Rong Jie didn’t have time to explain too much at the moment. He continued to confirm it. “Is your name Mei Mei?”

The moment he finished speaking, he saw a figure flash in front of him. Hua Qianmei, who had originally been sitting at the table, had come to him at some point.

The sudden and surging force approaching made Rong Jie instinctively retreat backwards and he unknowingly hit the wall.

Then in the next second, Hua Qianmei pressed him against the wall with her arms on both sides of him.,

Captain Rong, who had been carried like a princess and enjoyed the wall hugging treatment: “……”

Hua Qianmei moved a little closer and stared at Rong Jie with eyes that were charming even when they weren’t smiling.

She felt the man in front of her obviously tense up and her slow tone was full of persuasion. “Tell me, how did you know that someone calls me that?”

Rong Jie felt his Adam’s apple move naturally and he instinctively gulped. “I just came out of an instance a few days ago. There, someone summoned your phantom.”

He didn’t continue to say the following words. After all, he was a big man who was carried like a princess. This type of thing really wasn’t easy to say.

Hua Qianmei stared directly at this person. “What is the name of the person who summoned me?”

“It is Chi Ting, Captain Chi.”

“……” Hua Qianmei paused for a moment before seeming to accept the exciting news. She pressed closer in urgency, “Are you talking about Captain Chi Ting? He is here too? Where is he now?”

Rong Jie was unable to respond to this series of questions for a while.

He felt that he was a bit short of breath due to the face that was getting closer and closer. Soon, he finally replied as the other person gradually lost her patience. “Huh? It seems that he has entered the instance again.”

Hua Qianmei: “.”

After a long silence, Rong Jie was just hesitating to say something when she slammed on the table next to her. She smashed the facilities in the safe zone that were supposed to be extremely difficult to destroy. “What is wrong with the captain? It is okay that he didn’t even think of notifying us when he came here, but he entered the next instance right after he came out? Will he die if he enters the instance late?”

Rong Jie, who was facing the pressure at a close range: “……”

What was going on with this inexplicably terrifying feeling?
