[What are you saying? Can’t the streamer simply be attracted to someone beautiful? The person is so good-looking, it’s normal to be attracted to him, right? Anyway, if I were the streamer, I definitely wouldn’t be able to control myself.]
[You’re giving the streamer too much credit, aren’t you? Trying to compete with the boss? Is he tired of living?]
Originally, there were quite a few viewers who genuinely believed that the streamer was attracted to the beautiful student. But after seeing these barrages of comments, they silently cleared the lewd thoughts from their minds.
After all, not long ago, there was a confrontation with a dungeon boss, which resulted in the Yong’an Guild being completely wiped out.
There probably wouldn’t be any players foolish enough to confront another dungeon boss again.
The main reason was that confronting a boss was just futile. If it were so easy to confront a boss, it wouldn’t be called a boss anymore.
Ji Zhiyuan didn’t pay attention to the barrage. His focus was entirely on the young man in front of him. He straightforwardly asked, “How did you escape last night?”
“Did someone help you?”
Ruan Qing anxiously lowered his gaze, but he still gathered the courage to speak, “I... I set an alarm clock every five minutes.”
Ji Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised by the other’s words and immediately understood how the young man had escaped.
He hadn’t expected the other to be somewhat clever. Even before the spirit appeared, he knew to set an alarm to protect himself.
Last night was the first night of the dungeon. Even if the spirit did attack, it wouldn’t necessarily strike immediately.
There was a high probability that it wouldn’t strike again if it failed the first time.
This was due to the rules and limitations of the dungeon. In the early stages of the dungeon, the restrictions on the boss were the most severe.
Otherwise, if a player was targeted, there would be no chance of survival.
This was a situation that the game’s main system did not allow.
The game’s main system was like an extreme contradiction.
It harbored great malice towards all players, seemingly wanting to kill them all.
Yet, it never denied players the opportunity to survive.
It even provided many props for substitution, giving players a second chance at life.
But it never allowed players the chance to leave the game.
In this terrifying life-and-death game, when they entered, the system informed the players that they could only leave the game if they obtained the clearance item.
However, up to this point, no one had obtained the clearance item.
No one even knew what the clearance item looked like.
Even the players who have been on the rankings for an unknown amount of time are just dying in the game instead of leaving.
No player could figure out what the main game system really intended to do; they could only follow its rules to play the game.
After all, only by doing so could they continue to survive.
Ji Zhiyuan looked at the young man in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Tell me in detail what happened last night. There can be no omissions.”
“Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you.”
Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
It’s not very convenient to chat in this place, so the two went to a nearby cafeteria.
Since it was almost two o’clock, there were hardly any students in the cafeteria at this time.
They found a deserted corner and sat down.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to speak, Ji Zhiyuan spoke first. “Have you had lunch?”
Ruan Qing shook his head slightly.
“What do you like to eat?” Ji Zhiyuan stood up, but he didn’t move. Instead, he looked down at Ruan Qing.
Obviously waiting for Ruan Qing’s answer.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips and stood up as well. He spoke softly, “I’ll go by myself.”
Ji Zhiyuan didn’t refuse and walked with Ruan Qing to the cafeteria window.
Ji Zhiyuan glanced at what the young man ordered, frowned slightly, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
Ruan Qing ordered mostly vegetables.
After the last instance, only the vegetables hadn’t been ruined by medicine, so Ruan Qing had some psychological shadows about everything else.
He couldn’t eat when he saw them.
Ji Zhiyuan didn’t eat much, apparently having already eaten. After a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and watched the young man eat.
The young man ate very gracefully, neither fast nor slow, giving a sense of ultimate visual enjoyment.
Even watching him eat for a whole day probably wouldn’t be tiresome.
Moreover, the young man’s hands were slender, white, and elegant, with a hint of pink. The way he held the chopsticks was extremely pleasing.
Ji Zhiyuan’s gaze slowly moved from the young man’s hands to his slightly parted rosy lips.
The young man had just bitten his lip with considerable force, causing his pale pink lips to blush with small hints of red.
As he was about to eat, his thin lips slightly parted, revealing a soft pink inside.
He then gently bit into the greens, and they slowly disappeared at the edge of his lips, creating an indescribable allure.
In an instant, the meaning seemed to change.
As if he wasn’t eating greens but rather something peculiar and strange, sparking uncontrollable associations with certain things and allowing some dark thoughts to grow uncontrollably.
Ji Zhiyuan lowered his gaze slightly, took a sip of the water he had just bought, concealing everything in his eyes.
After Ruan Qing finished eating, the two began discussing the matter of the pen spirit.
Mainly, he spoke, and Ji Zhiyuan listened.
Occasionally, Ji Zhiyuan would ask a question.
Ruan Qing’s account was very detailed, mentioning almost everything except the specific content of this morning’s dream during the class. It included the pen spirit opening his fingers, appearing above him at night, borrowing toilet paper, and what he saw on the French windows.
Although Ruan Qing did not reveal the content of the dream, Ji Zhiyuan had a terrifying intuition. He looked at the young man with narrowed eyes. “‘He’ also laid hands on you during class?”
Otherwise, it made no sense for the young man to suddenly stand up and want to leave while sleeping.
Something must have happened for him to urgently want to leave, and with the association to the pen spirit, it became very apparent.
Ruan Qing’s body stiffened slightly, and the hand placed on his knee tightened. Finally, with a pale face, he lowered his head.
His expression showed that Ji Zhiyuan had hit the mark
At hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Zhiyuan’s eyes. He coldly said, “Hiding details like this makes it difficult for me to help you.”
“I’m... I’m sorry.” Ruan Qing’s delicate face showed a trace of shame, and he lowered his head even further.
“What happened in the dream?”
A faint blush appeared on Ruan Qing’s pale face. He seemed uncomfortable. He lowered his gaze, and after several attempts to speak, he finally mustered the courage to stutteringly narrate the events that occurred in the dream.
The sound was very soft, but it was enough for Ji Zhiyuan to hear clearly.
After Ruan Qing finished speaking, he felt an overwhelming sense of shame. His face turned uncontrollably red, even the corners of his eyes were flushed.
Perhaps due to the extreme embarrassment, even his fair skin was tinged with blush.
Ji Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of obscurity and uncertainty. He didn’t speak, just looked expressionlessly at the young man in front of him.
The young man’s face was tinged with a blush. Even the corners of his eyes were as red as if they had been applied with rouge, making him look exceptionally beautiful.
His silky hair obediently fell to the sides of his forehead, looking extremely gentle.
No one could resist this innocent and obedient demeanor.
the main system is too suspicious. obviously its coveting ruan qing, even blocking viewers who make suggestive comments about him
