How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 19p1

Chapter 19: The Cannon Fodder Roommate of the Unlimited Flow Male Lead (Part 19-1)

Yilan lost her eyes and wandered around the graveyard, her expression gradually becoming venomous.

Su Huai looked at her, suddenly lifted Yu Lin into the air, and let out a low shout, “Go.”

Hearing his voice, Donggua shivered. Along with a few players who had been tailing them, they scrambled and ran towards the village.

The wilderness was filled with ghostly shadows, and the withered leaves on the ground rustled. The moonlight was cold. Behind them, a row of trembling red lanterns surrounded Yilan, their venomous gazes fixed on their backs.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the door of the ancestral hall was slammed shut with a “bang.”

The last one to stumble in was a girl named Li Xue. She had a strong personality and had even reminded her companion not to cry.

She slid to the ground, panting heavily, still in a state of shock.

Her stamina was not particularly good, and the long run had made her face flush red.

She slid down on the steps of the ancestral hall, leaning against the wall, her limbs weak, her face pale, and still in a state of shock.

—Li Xue had followed them out today, not because she was overconfident, nor on a whim.

She had heard other players whispering about a bigshot in the team. She hadn’t disturbed him, but she had been paying attention to him.

In the real world, she was just an ordinary university student with no life-saving skills. She had rarely even passed the 800-meter run.

Accidentally selected for the game, in just one world, she understood that this game was too dangerous. Even if she managed to pass by a stroke of luck in the end, she was always uneasy.

She was not confident that she could survive on luck alone.

She could only try her best to learn from others’ experiences, to see how others survived. Driven by the will to live, even though the events at the village entrance had terrified her, she had still followed them out.

She knew that in this place, to sit and wait for death was to die.

Even so, she had almost died just now.

Li Xue lowered her head, breathing heavily, not knowing how to describe her feelings.

—In that instant, witnessing the death of the ghost bride, she had been so scared that her limbs had gone stiff.

When she heard the “run,” she had subconsciously followed, but had stumbled and fallen to the ground.

She was afraid of ghosts, so she hadn’t dared to get too close to the graveyard, just lingering on the edge.

The moment she fell, she immediately heard a strange laugh by her ear.

She was terrified. She struggled forward, but felt a damp, cold sensation crawling up her calf.

It was not the touch of a living person, cold, slippery, and incredibly chilly. She was so scared she wanted to run, but it felt as if her mouth and nose were filled with seawater, and her heart was squeezed painfully by a hand.

All the fear rushed into her brain, making her vision go black.

She moved forward in despair, but no one paid any attention to her. Everyone was fleeing for their lives, disappearing into the deep, cool moonlight in an instant. No one was paying attention to her at this time.

In an instant, it seemed that she was the only one left in the vast wilderness, along with the monster behind her.

Li Xue held back from completely collapsing. She crawled on the ground, struggling forward desperately, trying to kick away the thing behind her, her fingers digging deep into the foul-smelling mud on the ground.

The damp, cool thing on her calf pulled even harder, dragging her back. Li Xue looked up, her red eyes full of despair.

Then, in a deep, cool moonlight, she tried to look up and only saw, very far away, under the moonlight, a pair of quiet eyes looking over.

The owner of the eyes had dark hair and beautiful features, as fragile as white porcelain. He was tilting his head, his chin resting lightly on a strong shoulder.

He looked completely harmless.

They were separated by dozens of meters. He looked over quietly, and Li Xue met his gaze in despair.

It was just for an instant.

She heard a faint “bang” from her calf, and the force holding her was instantly released. A tragic scream came from her ear.

She was stunned for a moment, didn’t dare to look back, and scrambled up to run forward desperately, almost unleashing all of her unimaginable potential, and finally rushed into the ancestral hall at the last moment.

Was it an illusion?

Li Xue’s hair was disheveled, her eyes were red. She slid down under the door, her wrists and calves covered in foul-smelling mud. She bit her lip and secretly lifted her calf.

Under her left ankle, a horrifying purple handprint was clearly visible.

Li Xue put down her leg, suddenly covered her mouth, and almost cried out. Her eyes red, she subconsciously looked up at the young man being held in the man’s arms.

Including Li Xue, a total of four people had followed them out tonight. The other three were men.

Seeing the person with quiet and beautiful features, fair skin, being held in 01’s arms, they looked away. Although they felt that such a person would not survive long, they didn’t dare to make a sound, not wanting to get into trouble.

Li Xue had no time to care about the others and just looked up at him cautiously.

But she found that he was not looking over, and he hadn’t even opened his eyes.

He had his head down, his black hair resting on his eyelids, his eyes closed, and his lips pressed lightly together.

His fingers rested on the man’s shoulder, hanging down limply. His fingertips were slender, his face was snow-white, and his breathing was very light, as if he were asleep.

***

Su Huai stood in the ancestral hall. The first thing he felt was the change in the person in his arms. His breathing became heavy for two seconds, his eyes dark, and he almost kicked the door open.

Donggua followed in, not understanding. “Bro, what’s wrong? What happened?”

He had run fast, and only his legs were a little dirty. He still didn’t know what had happened.

Su Huai ignored him. His mind was in a mess, and his hands were trembling a little. He sat down by the bed, reached out, and lifted the chin of the person in his arms. “Lin Lin?”

Su Huai’s eyes were dark, his breathing ragged. He lowered his head and stared fixedly at the person in his arms.

However, the person whose chin was being held did not make a sound. He just swayed with his movements, his eyes always closed.

As he sat up straight, the hands resting on Su Huai’s shoulders also lost their support and fell down.

He fell forward, silently into Su Huai’s arms, his breathing extremely light, his face without a trace of color, so weak that it seemed he would stop breathing in the next second.

Su Huai lowered his head, the knuckles of his fingers locking onto him turning white. He let out a gasp, pressed his lips together without a word, and soon, blood trickled down from between his fingers.

“Damn, what happened, bro?! What’s wrong with you—” Donggua turned his head, let out a cry of alarm, and then looked up again. “Damn, Brother 01, are you okay?”

“…”

This was one of the few times Yu Lin had misjudged.

On the first day of work, he had received a booklet, and the first sentence in it was: Taskers, please conform to your persona.

—In other words, please act within the basic logic of the target character.

Although many people had not seriously followed this rule, including Yu Lin himself.

Because the scoring standard was the character’s brilliance, in many worlds, it sometimes required the tasker to judge for themselves how to act most appropriately.

So the Transmigration Bureau did not restrict the taskers’ out-of-character behavior. On the contrary, if the score was getting higher and higher, it was even supportive.

Later, after several reforms, it even supported simple persona adjustments, rather than forcing taskers to perform some actions that were contrary to their own views.

But the premise of all this was—you could explain the source of your actions, or in other words, make the current world accept that your actions were reasonable.

You couldn’t be so out of character that even the NPCs in the small world could see that you were not the original person.

In this world, although the original host was a two-faced gay man, he had tried to seduce the male lead. In Yu Lin’s judgment, it was reasonable for him to like the male lead.

Liking was a harmless emotion, and it was more conducive for him to transition smoothly to the next world in this world, rather than having troubles one after another.

So Yu Lin had chosen to maintain this persona, and the others had not felt that anything was wrong.

The only thing he hadn’t expected was… he would really fall in love with Su Huai and want to take a relationship seriously.

This was also the source of his other mistake today.

He had not sat by and watched a person with a strong will to live, a kind personality, and a willingness to help her companions die.

The moment she looked over, Yu Lin had seen it, so he had helped her.

Although it was just a trivial pebble, he couldn’t explain its source. This was something the original host was completely incapable of doing now. After being judged, the price was several hours of complete exhaustion.

His body could only maintain basic functions. From the outside, it looked almost as if he were about to die.

He didn’t even have time to explain, only enough time to scratch his boyfriend’s finger to remind him, and then he was completely out.

Everything had happened too quickly. In Yu Lin’s subconscious, in a dangerous world, it was only a matter of time before he had to improve his strength. This level of OOC was completely acceptable and would not have much impact on him.

Therefore, he had forgotten another important thing.

So when he saw Su Huai, covered in blood, his back against the earthen wall, even his eyelashes almost stained with blood, looking down at him.

Yu Lin was actually stunned for a long time before he reacted.

He sat up, his face pale, his movements very light, but it immediately alerted Su Huai.

The man’s eyes snapped open, his gaze sharp, his eyes dark. Seeing him, his jaw suddenly tensed.

A moment later, he reached out, sat up straight, and placed his palm on Yu Lin’s head, and said hoarsely, “You’re awake?”

It was already early morning, and the daylight from outside the window was distant and clear.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, and with a lift of his arm, he held Yu Lin and sat him on his lap.

He then leaned forward, his chin resting on Yu Lin’s hair, and nuzzled him.

He said, “I was scared to death.”

His voice was placid, an understatement.

Yu Lin sat on his lap, his knees held in his palms. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to see the dark circles under his eyelids.

“I’m sorry.”

Yu Lin raised his hand and touched his eyelids, for the first time feeling a little panicked.

He took a deep breath, his lips pressed lightly together. “Yesterday, I was actually—”

He wanted to explain clearly, but before he could finish, Su Huai suddenly leaned down and bit his lips.

He looked over, his eyes dark, with only one ambiguous sentence. “Was it you last night?”

Yu Lin looked at him, surprised by his sharpness. After a moment of silence, he nodded lightly. “En.”

“Was it dangerous?”

“No.”

“En.”

Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, and when he didn’t hear anything else, he was a little puzzled. “You… aren’t you going to ask?”

“No.” Su Huai’s expression was placid.

Yu Lin looked at him, surprised by his reaction. He then thought of the legal standards of this world, hesitated for a moment, and explained softly, “It’s… reasonable and legal.”

After thinking for a moment, he added, “There are no restrictions. I can be in a relationship with you.”

His expression was serious. Su Huai lowered his eyes to look at him, and after a while, a laugh suddenly rolled out of his throat.

“En.” he said, his back completely relaxing. From the sound of something breaking through the air last night, a certain string that had been tense in his mind finally snapped.

He collected his chaotic thoughts, his features placid, his hand propped on Yu Lin’s head, and looked at him intently.

Yu Lin was still feeling guilty. He lowered his head and caught a finger that was hanging down. “I should have explained clearly before I fell asleep.”

“Fell asleep?” Su Huai took his finger, held it in his mouth, and then gently bit it.

“En.” Yu Lin looked at the finger in his mouth, his eyes clear.

After a pause, he gently pulled out his finger, and before Su Huai could lower his eyes, he leaned over, kissed his boyfriend on the lips, and gently stuck out his tongue to comfort him.

***

Because there were no wounds, and he had been checked several times, Yu Lin’s alarm was successfully lifted.

Before he left, he turned his head to look at his boyfriend, whom he had successfully coaxed to sleep. After a moment of hesitation, he walked over, placed his boyfriend’s hand, which was hanging by the side of the bed, on his lower abdomen, and then lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.

He turned and left, not seeing the corners of the person on the bed’s lips curl up slightly.

Donggua was sitting at the door with a broken porcelain bowl. Seeing him come out, his eyes lit up.

“Bro!” He came over, relieved. “You’re awake. You scared me to death yesterday.”

Yu Lin sat down with him, took the broken porcelain bowl from his hand, and took a light bite of a corn.

He pressed his lips together. “Yesterday…”

After a pause, “Was 01 very angry yesterday?”

He lowered his eyes, his mood not seeming very good.

Donggua was stunned for a moment. “Did he scold you?”

Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. “No, but he…”

He seemed not to know how to say it and said in a low voice, “He’s not in a good state.”

Although Su Huai hadn’t said anything and had even smiled at him, his body had been very tense and unwilling to relax. Yu Lin had held his neck and kissed him for a long time before he had lain down and said he would sleep for a while.

Donggua was a little dazed. “No, he’s not angry. He was probably just scared?”

He tried hard to recall. “He said he was afraid you had encountered something unclean in the graveyard, so he went back twice.”

“He seemed to have slaughtered the lanterns?”

In short, when he came back, he was covered in blood, even his eyelashes were stained with blood, which was even more terrifying than that ghost bride.

In the end, a girl had come over and said softly that she was a medical student and asked if she could help.

He had let her see, and after she had checked, she had said that he was just tired and had fallen asleep. Only then had his Brother 01 been obedient and stopped making a fuss.

After he finished, seeing that Yu Lin was not speaking, Donggua asked cautiously, “…What’s wrong, Brother Lin Lin?”

“Nothing.” Yu Lin said softly.

He pressed his lips together. “In the future… I’ll remember.”
