Su Mo used the disguise card to return to the initial character creation screen. Then he scanned his real body, importing his real appearance and body data into the game.
As Su Mo watched the phantom of his character in mid-air gradually merge with his real self, he became increasingly nervous.
What would Chi Yu’s reaction be when seeing him like this? Would he like it? Or…
Could Su Mo make Chi Yu like him?
Su Mo felt like he had no confidence at all, but since things had come to this point, there was no room for retreat.
In any case, the rebirth card had been released. If Chi Yu really liked girls…
Su Mo’s expression twisted slightly. Playing a female character in a virtual holographic game with 99.9% realism was too strange! He figured that he would have to mentally prepare himself for a while.
He shook his head, took one last look at his avatar, gritted his teeth and re-entered the game.
Everything was dark but light slowly appeared.
Su Mo reappeared after he had gone offline. Chi Yu was still sitting in front of him, peeling lychees with beautiful fingers. There are many fruit peels piled on the table.
Meanwhile, Chi Yu was bending down to bite the crystal-clear fruit flesh.
At this moment, Chi Yu looked up as if noticing his presence.
At such a moment, every move Chi Yu made appeared to Su Mo in slow motion.
With just a slight glance, his entire being stirred and his heart pounded violently in his chest as if it was about to burst.
Su Mo held his breath. He tried to smile at Chi Yu, but his nervousness prevented him from doing so. He could only purse his lips tightly to avoid making any inappropriate expressions.
He took in every subtle change in Chi Yu’s expression.
He saw Chi Yu’s gaze fall on his face before pausing slightly, his red pupils seemingly contracting for a moment.
Su Mo clearly saw his true appearance reflected in Chi Yu’s eyes, which was…
Chi Yu’s expression looked… rather blank?
Really? He shouldn’t be that ugly. Could he have scared Chi Yu?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he saw a blush slowly appear on Chi Yu’s fair cheeks.
Chi Yu’s skin was already very fair. This meant his blush was very noticeable and slowly spread to his entire handsome face.
This discovery made Su Mo’s eyes widen slightly. He was about to say something when Chi Yu suddenly stood up.
The chair was knocked over with a loud bang, striking at the hearts of both of them.
Su Mo instinctively called out, “Xiao Yu.”
Chi Yu also subconsciously looked down and met Su Mo’s eyes, seeing his face once more.
Chi Yu’s cheeks seemed a bit redder.
Chi Yu bit his lip, took a deep breath and managed a weak response. “Hmm…”
Su Mo was unsure what the young man was thinking, but the blush on his face eased Su Mo’s tension and caused some thoughts to appear.
“This is my true appearance.”
Su Mo also stood up. He was no longer timid and hesitant. Chi Yu’s reaction gave him confidence and he boldly launched an offensive.
He placed his hands on the table and moved closer to Chi Yu. Seeing the blush on Chi Yu’s face, his dark eyes grew brighter and brighter.
“What do you think?”
Chi Yu stared for a few moments before forcing himself to turn away, asking in a muffled voice, “How are you… so good-looking?”
Su Mo moved closer to him again, giving him no chance to escape. “Do you like it?”
His eyes were fixed on the young man and he appeared more aggressive than usual.
Chi Yu stepped to the side, but his gaze involuntarily shifted and he secretly glanced at Su Mo a few more times.
Su Mo’s physique hadn’t changed significantly, but his facial features had completely changed. I was as if he was a different person. The demeanor and voice belonged to Su Mo, yet it seemed as if it wasn’t him.
Chi Yu felt somewhat confused. His heartbeat inexplicably accelerated and he couldn’t control it at all.
“You are pretty good-looking… but…”
Chi Yu stammered, dodging Su Mo’s excessive approach once again. He bent down to pick up the chair that had fallen to the ground.
Seeing Su Mo about to come closer again, Chi Yu reached out and placed a hand on Su Mo’s shoulder, pressing him back into his seat.
“Let me calm down first.”
Chi Yu sat down in his chair again, his brow furrowed as if he was pondering an enormous problem.
Su Mo sat obediently, his eyes fixed on Chi Yu. Slowly, a silly smile showed on his face.
Chi Yu was sitting opposite him and naturally noticed his smile.
He frowned, feeling a bit guilty and embarrassed. He glared in an irritated manner, “What are you smiling about?”
After glaring for a few seconds, he looked away again.
Despite being scolded, Su Mo didn’t stop smiling. He just smiled even more happily.
“Chi Yu, you’re blushing,” Su Mo said happily.
Blushing. Did that mean?
The thought of the possibility made Su Mo feel overjoyed. He couldn’t help wandering to open the favorability system to take a look.
Since he genuinely liked Chi Yu, Su Mo had turned off the favorability system from the very beginning after they became roommates.
He felt this was very strange. He could know Chi Yu’s feelings for him immediately, but he felt this was disrespectful to Chi Yu, as if Chi Yu was being violated every moment.
If he was Chi Yu, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, he never opened the favorability system and never thought of taking a look even when he was feeling uneasy.
However, at this moment, Su Mo couldn’t help himself after seeing Chi Yu’s flushed cheeks.
They finally had a chance!
Chi Yu glanced over after hearing Su Mo point it out directly. Chi Yu resisted the urge to cover his face and whispered, “Are you really Su Mo?”
There was no need to doubt it.
In just a few months, he had memorized all of Su Mo’s habits. Even with a completely different appearance, this couldn’t change Su Mo’s charm.
Just…
Chi Yu never expected the real Su Mo to look like this.
It wasn’t that the original Su Mo wasn’t good-looking, but there was indeed a big difference compared to his real appearance.
Chi Yu suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
He was mentally prepared for Su Mo to be a bit ugly, but he never expected this.
“Of course, I am Su Mo! I am the real one!”
Chi Yu’s question immediately made Su Mo nervous. He said, “You can ask me any questions you want. I will definitely be able to answer them.”
Chi Yu glanced at him a few times. Sure enough, he really asked a question.
To Su Mo’s surprise, Chi Yu’s questions weren’t about daily life but about architectural knowledge.
Su Mo could only proceed with the utmost seriousness, answering each question cautiously. Thus, an interrogation evolved into a classroom assessment.
“It seems you are really studying hard.”
Finally, Chi Yu nodded.
Su Mo looked proud.
“Of course. I remember every piece of knowledge you taught me and every word you said to me. I have never forgotten them.”
Chi Yu’s heart stirred.
He couldn’t remain unmoved by Su Mo’s serious words, especially with the face he had.
“Why did you disguise yourself before?” Chi Yu asked.
Su Mo had already prepared an explanation. “Actually, most of the braves have disguised themselves.”
Chi Yu was taken aback before nodding in understanding.
Yes, the braves came from another world. They faced a completely unknown world when they first came to Roland, so it was understandable to be cautious.
“I see.”
Chi Yu took a deep breath, having calmed himself down. “Let’s eat first and we can talk about the rest later.”
Su Mo really wanted to press for details but ultimately didn’t push too hard. The unexpected discovery he just made had already convinced him.
Chi Yu wasn’t indifferent to him!
“Okay, I will go and cook.”
Su Mo stood up with a smile. “What would you like to eat? I will make it and it will be ready in no time.”
Chi Yu casually suggested a few dishes before watching Su Mo enter the kitchen. It was only after Su Mo’s figure finally disappeared from sight that he slowly exhaled and touched his chest.
The previously vague emotions had finally become clear today, like a window being pierced. His mood had become clear.
Then what about Su Mo?
Did he feel the same way? Or had it been Chi Yu’s imagination all along?”
Chi Yu couldn’t help raising a hand to touch his burning cheeks.
The living room fell silent for a while with occasional noises coming from the kitchen.
Before long, Su Mo had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Besides the dishes ordered by Chi Yu, he also made other delicious dishes and even bought a bunch of things from the system store.
Chi Yu stared at the table full of exquisite dishes in front of him. He looked up and saw that Su Mo had set out candles, lit them with a lighter and turned off the lights.
In the dim lighting, Su Mo looked…
He had become even more handsome.
The faded blush returned to Chi Yu’s face once more.
Su Mo smiled, took out the champagne and poured one for Chi Yu and one for himself.
“Today is a special day that is worth celebrating.”
He raised his glass and nodded to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu stared blankly at him. Finally, he smiled and picked up the wine glass, clinking it against Su Mo’s.
“It is definitely worth celebrating.”
He swirled his glass and took a small sip.
Through the dim candlelight, Su Mo gazed at the red-haired young man opposite him and felt that he couldn’t take his eyes off Chi Yu at this moment.
He stared intently while Chi Yu…
His face was a bit red, but he still ate his dinner in a generous manner. In any case, Su Mo staring at him wasn’t a one-time thing and Chi Yu was already used to it.
“Chi Yu, there is something else I want to tell you.”
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too good or because he had a couple of drinks, so Su Mo was a bit drunk.
In short, the sentence came out of his mouth naturally, without any hesitation.
Chi Yu stopped eating, picked up his champagne, and took a sip as if to cover up his intentions. Then he met Su Mo’s now dark and deep eyes, asking gently, “What is it?”
“I like you, Chi Yu.”
After saying these words, Su Mo realized that it actually wasn’t that difficult.
“I want you to be my boyfriend, okay?”
Su Mo gazed at Chi Yu. He had imagined this scene countless times in the past. The surprise, incomprehension or even disgust that he expected didn’t appear on Chi Yu’s face.
Chi Yu simply looked back at him gently. rosy cheeks somewhat shy. However, the faint smile on his face was charming.
“Okay.”
Chi Yu uttered his reply softly, which made Su Mo feel as if he could hear the sound of flowers blooming.
