Chapter 91: How Misunderstandings Arise

He knew they couldn't do it alone, but if millions, even billions of people tried to clear the game, the chances of success would infinitely increase.

Xiao Xiao understood.

Clutching her backpack, she asked after a pause, "When will we enter an instance again?"

“Soon,” Fu Changxun replied as he fastened his seatbelt, his voice steady. “In a couple of days, Xiao Xiao, we’re going home.”

In this unstoppable game, players had no choice but to adapt and resist, struggling desperately against the overwhelming tide.

But there will always be someone who manages to swim out and halt the raging waves.

Xiao Xiao’s spirits lifted at the prospect of having grilled meat for dinner. Children are like that, happy when happy, sad when sad, but never losing hope or succumbing to despair over one thing.

Shouldn't people be just like that?

Two days later, Fu Changxun prepared to enter the game instance as planned.

After he finished washing his hair, Dong Zirong, accustomed to their routine, gently dried his hair with a towel.

"When we come out of this instance, I..." Dong Zirong began, but was abruptly silenced by Fu Changxun covering his mouth: "Stop, don't jinx it."

Such words should be nipped in the bud, not a single one allowed to slip out.

Dong Zirong, who rarely contemplated the impact of his words, didn't understand their potential harm, but Fu Changxun did.

After a moment of thought, guessing what Dong Zirong intended to say, he asked: "Are you planning to take our relationship further once we're out of the instance?"

Without waiting for an answer, he leaned in closer: "Or... do you want me?"

Could fulfilling his desires now be considered breaking the jinx he just mentioned?

Dong Zirong visibly tensed up.

His Adam's apple bobbed, his face flushed, and his gaze wavered, but he ultimately restrained himself: "That's... not a good idea, you might get hurt..."

"...Then forget it."

Fu Changxun tactfully changed the subject: "Rest well tonight, we have a meeting at the Special Bureau tomorrow."

With that, he turned off the lights and lay down to sleep, leaving Dong Zirong in his confused thoughts.

After a long while, a heavy sigh of annoyance emanated from the shadow in the darkness, as it slowly lay down next to Fu Changxun.

What had he missed!

The next day, Dong Zirong, with dark circles under his eyes, followed Fu Changxun. Yawning and carrying the equally yawning Xiaoxiao, his steps were heavy as they entered the Special Bureau. Lu Lu and Qiu Yi, already waiting in the office, couldn't help but be surprised at their appearance.

Lu Lu scanned them from head to toe, her eyes suspiciously lingering on the refreshed Fu Changxun, her expression unreadable as if her mind was racing.

Finally, she shook her head mournfully at Dong Zirong – she never imagined that such a tall and strong man with thick eyebrows would turn out to be inexperienced!

Dong Zirong: “?”

He gave her a puzzled look.

Lu Lu didn't explain further, not wanting to crush him, and instead asked Qiu Yi, "Shall we go?"

[Player confirmation to enter the instance?]

Fu Changxun immediately nodded: "Confirmed, five players in total, choosing to enter the instance."

[Ding-dong——]
