How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 6

Chapter 6: The Cannon Fodder Roommate of the Unlimited Flow Male Lead (Part 6)

The next day, when the entire room had become bright and clear, Yu Lin woke up to the hazy sound of voices.

His neck was very sore. He moved it slightly, and it made a cracking sound in the air.

Yu Lin’s expression stiffened. Just as he was about to get up, two long, powerful fingers landed on his neck, skillfully massaging it.

The sore joints, tense for so long, were kneaded open. Feeling comfortable, Yu Lin squinted, swayed, and couldn’t help but topple over again with a thud.

He landed on a firm and resilient chest.

Yu Lin: “…”

Yu Lin was stunned for two seconds, then slowly climbed up. His eyelashes blinked softly as he secretly peeked to the side, only to realize he was still lying on Su Huai.

“…” Because of the cowardice debuff… he had buried himself in the male lead’s chest for a whole night after becoming exhausted, and the straight male lead… had actually accepted it.

Yu Lin was so shocked he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. His eyes couldn’t even move. He could only woodenly pretend that nothing had happened, mechanically stiffening his neck and slowly crawling towards the bed next to him.

Su Huai tilted his head, supporting him with one hand while looking down at his empty arm, then at Yu Lin’s dazed expression. A barely perceptible smile flashed in his cold eyes.

It felt as if his heart had been struck by a strange bullet, a little hot, and a little soft.

It was a very unfamiliar feeling. Su Huai lowered his eyes, pressing down on the smile at the corner of his lips before asking, “Are you uncomfortable anywhere else?”

“…” Yu Lin slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, his fingers propped on the mattress. His eyelashes trembled before he said softly, “No, I’m fine. Last night… thank you.”

After speaking, he fell silent again. For some reason, his gaze wandered, and his ears and face turned bright red.

Su Huai looked at him, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He tilted his head, managing to restrain himself from acting like a beast in the middle of a dungeon.

***

After tidying himself up a bit, Yu Lin stood up and saw the creases all over Su Huai’s clothes.

Having held him all night while also needing to be vigilant against ghosts that could return at any moment, Su Huai sat on the edge of the bed, his long legs slightly bent. His originally clean and tidy uniform had also become messy.

He rolled up his sleeves. His long limbs were wrapped in the black fabric, stretching slightly with his movements.

He had a high brow bone and half-lowered eyelids, giving him a cold appearance. But as he smoothed out the wrinkles one by one, he was very patient. One could see the straight bridge of his nose under his brow bone and his clear, smooth jawline.

Yu Lin watched as his thumb spread out, unhurriedly smoothing the creases on his clothes. Unable to just watch, he paused and said softly, “Let me help you.”

“Help me?” Su Huai paused, looked up at him, and after a moment, turned slightly, spread his legs, and let out a very soft “en.”

Su Huai tilted his head up, his fingers hanging by his side, curling almost imperceptibly.

Yu Lin didn’t notice his other movements. Seeing him spread his legs, he subconsciously stood between them, his fingers landing on his clothes. He bent down and began to tidy them up seriously.

The police uniform was solemn and cold, the leather texture hard. Yu Lin’s movements on it were gentle and careful. Starting from the collar, which Su Huai couldn’t see, he had just finished tidying up to the wrist when a sudden knocking came from the door.

Someone asked in a low voice, “Are you… still there? Is anyone in the room right now?”

It was another player.

Yu Lin blinked. The heat in his face slowly faded. He turned his head to look at Su Huai.

Su Huai pressed his lips together, glanced at his empty cuff, nodded, and got up to go to the door. He opened it and looked out. “What is it?” His tone was cold.

01 had a fierce reputation in the community, but he was generally rule-abiding towards ordinary players and wouldn’t disrupt order just because he was strong.

The player who pushed open the door was still young, like a university student. He looked at the tall, imposing man with dark eyes and lips pressed into a thin line, who was clearly in a bad mood, and couldn’t help but swallow.

He hadn’t offended 01, had he? Why did the atmosphere feel so off…

Because of the other’s demeanor, he subconsciously tried to peek into the room past him, and immediately felt a cool gaze land on him. “?”

The newcomer shivered, retracted his gaze, and said honestly, “Hello, my name is Mu Guang. I’m a second-round player. This morning, no one in your room went missing, right?”

Missing? Su Huai frowned very slightly, then shook his head, his expression placid. “No.”

“Oh, okay.” Mu Guang replied dryly. “It’s good that there isn’t.”

He wanted to say more, but Su Huai’s eyelids lifted slightly, sweeping a glance at him. “Is there anything else?”

Mu Guang’s mouth moved. “No…”

The door in front of him slammed shut with a “bang.”

“…”

Su Huai closed the door and leaned against the wall, thinking.

Yu Lin had already slipped away to wash his face and was now coming out from the main balcony.

He walked over, waving his fingers, still wet with small water droplets, in front of Su Huai’s eyes, his gaze questioning. “01, what happened outside?”

Su Huai looked at him, reached out to brush away the soft black hair that was wet and sticking to his face, and said calmly, “Someone’s missing. It could be that they didn’t have enough people, or it could be that something else was mixed in the room.”

Yesterday, the NPC had clearly stated: twelve players, six rooms, two people per room.

Last night, three players had failed to get into a room. Even counting the thirteenth “thing,” whatever it was, the six rooms couldn’t be divided evenly.

A certain condition might have been triggered.

As the players woke up one by one and the news of the missing person spread, arguments immediately broke out outside.

First, there were curses: “What the hell? This instance, it’s just not planning on letting anyone out alive…”

Then it turned to terror: “But I’m only in my second round, how can there be so many traps? I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, can anyone save me—”

It was chaos.

Someone was squatting on the ground, trembling, their terrified pleas piercing through the heart. A sense of anxiety quickly spread through the crowd.

Coupled with the incident that had happened early in the morning, the atmosphere in the third-floor dormitory was one of panic.

In the midst of the chaos, the silent bells hanging on the corridor walls suddenly began to ring. As the yellow talismans fluttered, the blood-red characters on the walls seemed to drip, making the surroundings even more gloomy and terrifying.

Amidst the chaotic screams, a whistling wind, like a breathy whisper, poured in, penetrating the walls, making one’s ears buzz.

The slightly ajar door outside was blown open by the wind, then closed again. A terrifying scene flashed by. Yu Lin retracted his gaze.

He was actually quite calm.

He didn’t know if it was the shock of facing the ghost head-on last night… that had made his body slightly desensitized.

Yu Lin looked down at his spotlessly clean fingers and was surprised to find that although his mind was still tense, his body seemed to be quite calm.

But then, the increasingly crisp sound of the bells penetrated the walls and poured into his ears, and he realized it was an illusion. His hands and legs were still just as weak…

Before a bad feeling could surface, Yu Lin thought of something, turned around quickly, and went to the bed to search. With one leg bent on the edge of the bed, he soon pulled out a few pieces of cotton from the quilt.

Su Huai followed behind him, watching as he rolled the cotton into balls, then stood up and quickly stuffed them into his ears, one on the left and one on the right.

After he was done, he did the same for himself, his head lowered.

He moved too quickly, his breathing slightly ragged. After he was done, he looked up, his features quiet, his aura gentle, like a crane standing on a lone pine, revealing a section of his long, slender neck.

As the sound pouring into his ears became muffled, Yu Lin, with one leg half-kneeling on the edge of the bed, also gradually became calm.

The external sounds had very little effect on him now, even creating the illusion that it wasn’t a big deal.

At this moment, he didn’t know that there were other reasons for this sense of security.

He leaned against the bed, looked up at Su Huai, tilted his head slightly, and smiled with his eyes curved.

He said apologetically, “This way, you won’t be completely deaf, but you won’t hear too clearly either. It can reduce the impact of the environment.”

As he spoke, he remembered something and gently scratched his hair.

He looked down again, his fingers lightly clenching by his leg, and explained, “Sorry, I’ll adapt as soon as possible.”

Su Huai looked at him, his long fingers hanging by his side curling very slightly.

He walked over, reached out to take the hand of Yu Lin, who was half-kneeling on the bed, and pulled him up. With his other hand, he ran his fingers through Yu Lin’s hair and ruffled it very lightly.

His expression was unchanged as he said calmly, “No need to change. You’re doing very well. Very smart.”

Yu Lin: “…”

Yu Lin, with a calm expression, was led out the door, having gradually accepted the male lead’s approachable persona.

***

The situation in the corridor outside looked extremely bizarre.

Apart from the players who stayed behind closed doors, the few players crowded outside were all squatting on the ground, covering their ears and cursing the Main God dungeon.

Their expressions were on the verge of collapse.

Dongqing leaned against the door of 3XXX with her arms crossed, listening to their clamor, her face ugly as she shot a cold glance at the ceiling.

If anyone were to look at her, they would find that the sudden ringing of the bells in the dormitory seemed to have no major side effects on her. They floated cheerfully in mid-air with the blood-red talismans.

As if playfully watching the people below.

When Su Huai came out, he glanced at the crowd of people who were covering their ears and cursing with their eyes closed, not even looking in their direction, and was about to lead the person in his hand downstairs.

Dongqing looked over, paused, and pulled the listless boy beside her to follow.

The stairwell was gray and hazy, narrow and long. The four of them went downstairs one after another. No one spoke first. Everything seemed to be no different from yesterday.

It was only when they reached the first floor that they noticed a slight difference.

A day had passed. Below the winding concrete stairs, the scene outside the first-floor glass door had changed again, becoming an alluring skyscraper.

Dongqing frowned, ignored the scene outside, and pulled the boy along, following not too far behind Yu Lin. Su Huai’s steps paused slightly as he shot a placid glance at her.

Dongqing raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly. “Just mooching off some experience. We agreed yesterday.”

Su Huai glanced at her, his expression cold. Then, as if remembering something, a thin layer of cold light covered his pale eyes. He didn’t deny it, just said calmly, “En.”

He paid no more attention to her team-up-like behavior.

He walked forward, leading Yu Lin towards the internet cafe, and went straight to the front desk.

He opened the food cabinet, picked out two corn and cheese rice balls, and heated them in the microwave next to it.

After they were heated, he unwrapped the rice balls and placed them in Yu Lin’s hand. Yu Lin paused, then quietly held them and began to eat.

Dongqing sat not too far behind, stroking her chin, watching with amazement, once again marveling at how different this old dog was now that he had a wife… he even had a human touch.

Beside her, the boy looked listless. “Sis, I don’t have an appetite today.”

Dongqing: “Eat.”

The boy: “Oh.”

The brother and sister picked up their rice balls and began to eat.

Dongqing wasn’t so particular. She didn’t use the microwave either, just grabbed a rice ball and started munching on it, while admiring 01’s beautiful wife.

The beautiful wife had slender fingers and a quiet gaze. His pair of eyes were as gentle as transparent amber, as if anyone he looked at would be loved by him seriously.

He also spoke in a soft and gentle voice. After saying something, he took out a tissue and wiped 01’s fingertips… Dongqing watched, drooling.

She swore, if she had a beautiful wife, she would be the happiest little girl in the world.

But this bastard 01, while eating with his beautiful wife, just stood up, coldly put down his breakfast, and walked towards them.

He said, “Ten minutes.”

Dongqing: “?”

While Dongqing was still confused, Su Huai’s wrist flipped, and a long saber appeared out of thin air in his hand. The blade was snow-white, reflecting a sharp, cold light.

The blade was filled with a murderous aura. It was the first S-rank weapon to appear after the Main God’s descent, Ghost Slayer.

Dongqing: “…”

Dongqing: “?”

Dongqing took a step back. “No, buddy, I can’t even think about it?”

Su Huai shot her a placid glance, then went up to the second floor with the saber.

Ten minutes later, he came down, washed his hands, and picked up the rice ball from the table again to eat, his expression calm.

Yu Lin sat at the front desk. After finishing breakfast, he picked up the registration list that had been casually discarded on the counter to look at.

It was an internet cafe from twenty years ago, and the list was full of minors without ID cards. Seeing him come over, he gently tugged on his sleeve.

Su Huai turned his head to look over. “What’s wrong?”

Yu Lin pointed to a name on the list. “Here.”

Yu Lin hesitated, then pressed his lips together and said softly, “This name, I saw it last night.”

Seeing Su Huai bend down to come over, he leaned his head over, whispered in Su Huai’s ear, and told him what had happened last night. “It was the name on the test paper.”

His expression was serious. “I still remember.”

He then guessed, “Could it be a hidden plot?”

Yu Lin’s eyelashes drooped slightly, his expression thoughtful.

Su Huai looked at him, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He grunted, “En,” then suddenly reached out, closed the list, and half-knelt, taking Yu Lin’s fingers in his hand.

His expression was placid. He held Yu Lin’s hand with his right hand, and with his left, he lightly lifted it, opened a bottle of water with one hand, and carefully washed Yu Lin’s hand.

His hand was very hot, his palm wide. The fingers resting in it were long and clean, with beautiful, distinct knuckles. Dotted with water droplets, they looked like fine white porcelain.

His actions were a bit presumptuous, but Yu Lin didn’t pull away. His eyelashes lifted slightly as he carefully leaned over, his voice landing by his ear. “Did you find anything?”

Su Huai shook his head, holding the fingers in his palm. He glanced upstairs, then looked down again.

His expression was calm, not too concerned. “Don’t worry about it.”

Yu Lin was stunned. “Don’t worry about it?”

“En.” Su Huai said calmly. “It’s nothing important.”
