Chapter 394: How to Wake the Sleeping Big Boss (5)

In the villa within the sleeping city, Liu Qing actually made an extremely delicious roast chicken.

Song Chuyi ate until he was full and didn’t forget to praise it. "It's really good."

Liu Qing scratched his head. "Glad you enjoyed it."

Shen Shu, standing nearby: ...

Before coming here, he had memorized the information of all official personnel over the past decade.

This Liu Qing used to work in the kitchen squad, a skilled cook, but completely devoted to his country.

He didn’t seem like the bootlicker standing before him!

Shen Shu clenched his teeth and couldn’t help but speak up.

"Now that you’ve eaten, let’s talk about the intel you gathered, Liu Qing, okay?"

Liu Qing turned to look at Shen Shu and smiled honestly.

"I was starving when I got here, ate, and then dozed off. Didn’t gather any intel."

Shen Shu: ...

After speaking, Liu Qing looked at Song Chuyi again. "What else would you like to eat?"

Song Chuyi shook his head. "I’m good for now, thanks."

Liu Qing waved his hands repeatedly. "No need to thank me, really."

"I’m doing all this willingly."

Liu Qing stole a glance at Song Chuyi.

In that chaotic darkness, the figure He Tongan somehow projected in the air appeared before him.

It was the sole light in the darkness, rousing his numb soul.

They were stuck in that darkness, where time itself seemed frozen.

They were on the brink of despair, but then the light emerged.

So they followed the big boss to witness the light.

So radiant, so full of hope.

When the big boss released him, he was left bewildered.

But he knew one thing for sure: the big boss deeply cared for Song Chuyi.

If Song Chuyi was happy, the big boss might spare his companions.

Or even let them skip this level entirely.

What’s more...

Liu Qing stole a glance at Song Chuyi, who was engrossed in a book, and thought to himself:

Even without the main boss, he wanted to make the young man happy.

Because he was so dazzling, it was unbearable to see him even slightly unhappy.

Liu Qing gave a silly chuckle and silently stood aside.

Shen Shu glanced at him, grabbed his backpack, and left again.

Since Liu Qing hadn't gathered any information, he had to find someone else.

After some time, Shen Shu found a middle-aged man who had entered the sleeping city a year ago.

This man was highly intelligent with a photographic memory; he was sure to know some information.

Shen Shu gave the antidote to the man's neck.

Not long after, the man woke up.

He rubbed the back of his neck and quickly said, "Take me to see Song Chuyi."

Shen Shu was puzzled.

Half an hour later, Shen Shu watched this partner with a photographic memory playing a memory matching game, his lips twitched.

He turned and left again.

This time, he woke a girl with formidable combat skills.

She woke up quickly and had only one sentence after waking up.

"Go to the villa to find Song Chuyi."

Not long after, Shen Shu saw her and Song Chuyi digging in the villa garden, apparently planning to plant some flowers.

Shen Shu...

In the garden, Song Chuyi was digging the soil with a small shovel, while the girl beside him also held a small shovel.

"Sunflowers would look great here," the girl said.

Song Chuyi looked up at her and smiled, "I plan to plant coffee trees."

The girl was visibly startled, then quickly said, "Coffee trees are fine too."

"We'll plant coffee trees!"

Song Chuyi gave a soft chuckle, "Did he send you to find me?"

The girl's ears reddened slightly, and she nodded slightly.

"He said if we make you happy, he'll let us stay awake for longer."

After a pause, she added, "Though his orders play a part."

"But... you deserve it."

She said with sincerity, "Song Chuyi, you deserve it."

Song Chuyi gave a smile, "Thanks."

"Everyone deserves to be happy."

He stood up, poured a cup of coffee, and handed it to her.

"Care to try?"

The girl carefully took the cup, sipped it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She seemed to realize something, her face lighting up with excitement.

"This is it!"

Song Chuyi pointed to the large cup beside him. "There's still some left; you can share it with your friends."

"I'm going upstairs to check."

The girl nodded eagerly, watching him head upstairs.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Song Chuyi washed his hands and sat down by the bed.

"Are you stupid?"

He poked He Tongan's shoulder.

"If you can wake them up, why won't you wake yourself up?"

He murmured.

"Are you mad at me?"

——

In the chaotic darkness, He Tongan stepped forward, his handsome face tinged with anxiety.

"No, I'm not."

He replied.

"How could I ever blame you?"

He couldn't bear to blame him.

He just... couldn't bear to let him go.

Though he didn't know why, he was certain that if he woke up, he would leave.

But his gut told him so.

If he woke up, A'Chu would be gone.

He couldn't stand the thought of him leaving.

This overwhelming emotion tormented him, paralyzing him with fear.

So in this dark chaos, he could only catch glimpses of light in the shadows.

The light was so radiant, it seemed to beckon the shadowy monsters forward.

But as soon as they approached, the light would vanish.

He Tongan slowly lowered his gaze.

The surrounding black dots didn't dare approach, only staring at Song Chuyi's figure, their bodies lightly twitching.

...

Inside the villa, Song Chuyi gently touched He Tongan's face.

"You surely won't blame me."

He chuckled.

"If you blame me, I'll shrink you down to 1.8 centimeters."

He Tongan: ...

Song Chuyi lazily said, "I remember now."

"I once told you that you'd see me when you opened your eyes."

"So when you woke up after the wardrobe fell on you and didn't see me, you're now afraid to open your eyes and look at me?"

He leaned down and gently kissed the corner of He Tongan's lips.

"Silly."

Song Chuyi had never seen such a childish and stubborn side of a villain before, and it piqued his interest.

It's fine if he doesn't wake up; his back could use a good rest too.

Constantly traveling through these small worlds has really taken a toll on his back.

This small world can serve as a place to recuperate.

With that thought, Song Chuyi simply lay down.

"Let's treat this time as a vacation."

He muttered with a clear smile on his face.

He Tongan, lying asleep on the bed, seemed to twitch his fingertips briefly before settling back into stillness.

In the chaotic darkness, He Tongan gazed at Song Chuyi, who was so close, his eyes brimming with desire and greed.

Like a monster lurking in the shadows, peering at the intense and dazzling light.

He knew all too well that he would rush toward the light like a moth to a flame.

But before that, he wanted the light to linger a little longer.

Just a bit longer.
