Chapter 4 It smells so good!
"Isn't this just plain weird?" Yan Xun asked the system. "What kind of decent person would sneak up in the middle of the night to smell someone's fragrance?"
"Host," the system said sincerely to Yan Xun, "isn't the role you're playing just a hypocrite who says one thing but does another?"
Yan Xun: "..."
That seems to make sense.
In the original work, this straight man, while saying that Gui Yuchong's perfume was disgusting, was also always attracted to her appearance.
After all, this is a wildly popular, borderline infinite flow novel, and everyone will be captivated by Gui Yuchong.
"Host, you're thinking..." the system said to Yan Xun. "What a great opportunity! Aren't you two going to sleep in the same room tonight?"
He was asleep; who knows?
The system then told Yan Xun, "Besides, it's just acting."
No one will even notice if you're holding your breath.
Yan Xun didn't say anything. He didn't take any change of clothes when he went into the bathroom. He didn't want to wear dirty clothes... so he simply wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom with another bath towel on his head.
As soon as he went out, he saw Gui Yuchong sitting obediently on the sofa.
Upon seeing Yan Xun, Gui Yuchong wanted to say something, but Yan Xun raised his hand to stop him—
"stop."
“The character settings in the game are just character settings.” He dried his hair a few times, then draped a towel over his shoulders. “You’re not my ex-boyfriend.”
"I don't know you well either."
"So let's keep to ourselves and just focus on completing our tasks," Yan Xun said, looking at Gui Yuchong. "Do you understand?"
Gui Yuchong sat on the sofa, quietly looking at Yan Xun. "Do you need me to sleep on the floor?"
There was only one single bed in the room, and since they were temporarily staying together, someone would definitely need to sleep on the floor.
Yan Xun thought about what he was going to do that night...
“You sleep in the bed,” he said.
Otherwise, let him lie on the edge of the bed and whisper those words—
He himself didn't think it looked very good.
Gui Yuchong nodded obediently.
Seeing how cooperative the other party was, Yan Xun felt a little apologetic. He went to the wardrobe, found some clothes he could wear, turned his back to Gui Yuchong, untied his bath towel, and put the clothes on.
Gui Yuchong remained seated, never looking away.
"...Should we excuse ourselves?" Yan Xun turned around.
"Ah, sorry." Gui Yuchong blushed suddenly. He slowly turned his head to look at the TV that was not turned on, but he could hear the sound of the other person changing clothes.
……
At one o'clock in the morning, everything became quiet.
Yan Xun was lying on the ground... Gui Yuchong was lying on his own bed.
The room was completely dark, as if plunged into deep darkness. He could only hear Gui Yuchong's regular breathing beside him.
It looks like she's asleep.
The system kept urging him on in Yan Xun's mind.
Finally, he took a deep breath, quietly leaned over the edge of the bed, and whispered something—
"It smells good."
Aaaaaaahh ...
After saying this, Yan Xun lay down on his makeshift bed on the floor, feeling utterly hopeless.
He stared at the ceiling above him, but found that he still couldn't see anything in the room, as if all the light entering the room had been taken away.
Yan Xun grew increasingly sleepy and eventually fell asleep on his makeshift bed on the floor.
After he fell into a deep sleep, Gui Yuchong, who had seemed to be asleep, lay sprawled on the edge of the bed.
In the darkness, he stared intently at Yan Xun.
Although Yan Xun himself couldn't see it, the live stream viewers had a god-like perspective—and it was the exposed version.
In the cramped room, the long-haired young man was lying on a makeshift bed on the floor, and next to him, a dark, shadowy figure was lying on the edge of the bed.
Her hair, like seaweed, slowly grew longer and came to surround the young man.
Then it was blocked by something unseen, preventing these algae-like strands of hair from reaching Yan Xun.
[Host, wake up!!!]
Amen, I think the streamer is doomed.
Although the system also saw the comments, everything appeared normal from its perspective.
Gui Yuchong lay quietly on the bed, as if he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
From the perspective of the viewers in the live stream, the dark thing was lying on the edge of the bed, making indistinct sounds.
"...It smells so good..."
[Ahhhhh, looks like he's a carnivore after all!! He said the streamer smells so good!!!]
[...I also think the streamer looks kind of delicious (drooling)]
[Outrageous! What on earth has gotten into this live stream?!]
Perhaps realizing that it couldn't touch the person lying on the floor yet... the dark thing lying by the bed retracted its hair.
"Good night."
He said in a low voice.
……
When Yan Xun woke up, he found black hair on the bed.
Clumps of hair, like the hair loss you see everywhere in a public bathroom.
The hair was pure black; half of Yan Xun's hair had been bleached... He glanced at the clumps of hair, then at Gui Yuchong, who was still lying in bed, not yet awake.
The other person's hair wasn't long, and it didn't look like his.
Yan Xun stood up and wrapped the strands of hair in a tissue.
But the moment his fingers touched the hair, it seemed to come alive.
In that instant, Yan Xun felt as if he were seeing not strands of hair, but tiny tentacles, some of which even coiled around his fingers—
He instinctively shook the strands of hair off his hand.
Then it landed on Gui Yuchong's face, who was still fast asleep to the side.
Yan Xun: "..."
He silently apologized and bent down to pick up the strands of hair from the other person's face.
Just as Yan Xun approached Gui Yuchong, Gui Yuchong opened his eyes.
He glanced at Yan Xun in surprise.
Just as Yan Xun was about to say, "I noticed you had hair on your face," he realized that the hair had disappeared.
—Now it looks as if he deliberately took advantage of Gui Yuchong's sleep to get close to him.
Yan Xun: "..." My lord! I'm innocent!
He calmly picked up a non-existent hair, ignoring Gui Yuchong's gaze, and said, "A hair."
Then he casually tossed it to the other side of the bed.
Gui Yuchong touched his cheek, unsure whether he believed it or not, but he still nodded to Yan Xun, "Thank you."
……
After washing up, Yan Xun came to the living room.
A line of red, blood-red words was discovered on the living room wall—
Now, those of you in your rooms, please go to the management office to collect today's food.
Only one person is allowed to go at a time.
Yan Xun glanced at the red characters on the wall and knew that this was today's task.
"I'll go get it," Yan Xun said before Gui Yuchong could speak.
He glanced at Gui Yuchong, who seemed about to say something, and said, "You stay in your room and wait."
He remembered that in the novel, Gui Yuchong did not go to the management office to collect food on the first day... In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plot, Yan Xun did not intend to change this.
But the same—
In the novel, it was his roommate who went to collect the food on the first day, not Yan Xun himself.
