MTL - Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game-Chapter 7 Entering the New World for the First Time (7)
The eyes outside the door greedily peeked into the house through the small hole poked out, searching for Xia Zhiyi's figure.
It watched and seduced Xia Zhiyi with Jing Ruyu's voice.
"Knowledge...
"I know you open the door quickly, I don't have the key.
"I'm afraid, Zhiyi, open the door quickly..."
Xia Zhiyi crouched by the wall, leaning close to the real Jing Ruyu, not daring to make a sound.
In retrospect, she was bewitched just now, so she walked towards the door unprepared.
What the hell, he actually knows how to pretend to be her ex-girlfriend!
Xia Zhiyi felt very careless.
"Zhiyi, open the door—"
Something outside was still shouting, and now and then there was a hasty knock on the door.
In this long silent night, every call, every knock on the door was like a drum, beating heavily on people's hearts, shaking people's minds restlessly, frightened and frightened.
Xia Zhiyi covered her mouth and lowered her body unconsciously.
Jing Ruyu hugged her into his arms, comforting her silently, trying to give her a sense of security and help her keep calm.
Xia Zhiyi obediently buried her head in her neck, not daring to make a sound.
In the face of all unknowns, fear is unstoppable.
Jing Ruyu has already calculated.
There is no place to hide in the house, they hide here, if that thing really rushes in, they can seize the momentary opportunity to rush out while it is not prepared.
Although I don't know what's out there, it's better to take a gamble than to sit still.
The noise outside still didn't stop.
After Xia Zhiyi's ears were tortured for a while, she finally couldn't help but softly said in a voice that only they could hear: "Ruyu, can it not get in?"
As far as the thing outside is called, the whole neighborhood can be woken up by it, but it has no momentum to come in at all.
If it could come in, it wouldn't have been barking outside for so long, right?
Jing Ruyu looked at the crackling door, and habitually wrapped Xia Zhiyi in his arms so that she would not be touched.
"Seems to be."
As soon as Jing Ruyu finished speaking, he didn't know whether he had seen through his mind or became angry because no one answered the door. The action of knocking on the door became very violent.
It was still calling Xia Zhiyi's name while taking pictures, and even the voice gradually distorted, as if being pulled and torn apart, it was extremely terrifying.
"Xia Zhiyi, do you want to kill me, do you want to kill me—
"Open the door, you open the door for me!
"Open the door!"
Xia Zhiyi was even more sure that it couldn't get in.
Although they don't know the reason, at least they don't have to worry about this thing suddenly rushing in.
She squatted, looked up, and whispered to Jing Ruyu.
"It won't knock all night, will it?"
"Then I don't know if it has the courage."
"Oh, I hope she doesn't have the courage..."
Jing Ruyu raised his hand and gently touched her head to comfort her.
Before the monster left, the two of them didn't dare to act rashly, but their posture gradually became boring, from squatting vigilantly at the beginning, to simply sitting against the wall in the back, waiting for the outside to calm down.
After half an hour, the sound outside gradually subsided.
The thing outside the door cursed viciously, then left angrily.
Jing Ruyu stood up slightly, watched its black shadow pass by the window, and confirmed that it had really left.
The courtyard returned to silence, and the disturbing voices stopped, as if nothing had happened.
"It's really gone," Jing Ruyu said, "Go back to bed and sleep, Xiaoqiao said to let the players have a good rest, so we just need to sleep until dawn."
Based on Xiaoqiao's "clean hands and feet", "rest well and don't run around at night" is definitely an important safety reminder.
Jing Ruyu decided to follow her advice and sleep well before talking.
"By the way," Jing Ruyu asked, remembering a very important matter, "Why did you get out of bed suddenly to open the door just now?
"Did you see me in bed?"
Xia Zhiyi also asked strangely: "You are on the bed? I only opened the door when I saw you were not here..."
As soon as these words came out, the brainwaves of the two of them were immediately connected—a hallucination.
Apart from this, they couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.
Xia Zhiyi asked: "I think you're fine. If I'm just hallucinating, could it have something to do with the plate of fruit Miss Gu gave?"
Jing Ruyu couldn't say whether there was or wasn't, although she was more inclined to Xia Zhiyi's guess.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them.
After a while, Jing Ruyu raised her head and said, "Go to sleep, rest is important."
Xia Zhiyi nodded, "Yes."
Jing Ruyu: "I'll sleep with you."
Xia Zhiyi: "Huh???"
As a couple who have already broken up, Xia Zhiyi suddenly felt a little awkward at this moment.
Okay, why did Jing Ruyu suddenly want to sleep with her? ? ?
"Isn't that bad?" Xia Zhiyi covered her lips and said, "In case you already have a girlfriend, if she finds out—"
"I am single."
Jing Ruyu interrupted her, and couldn't help but look at her.
"Do you already have a girlfriend?
"Didn't you tell Xiaoqiao that you weren't ready for a new relationship in the evening? Could it be a lie, just playing tricks on her?"
"That's true," Xia Zhiyi suddenly realized, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, Mr. Jing still remember what I said?"
Jing Ruyu: "..."
She smiled calmly: "I am deeply impressed, and I am afraid that everyone present will remember it."
After speaking, she consciously moved the pillow and quilt to Xia Zhiyi's bed.
Xia Zhiyi stood there without moving.
To be honest, when Jing Ruyu just heard that she was single, she was actually a little bit happy.
If Jing Ruyu quickly made a new girlfriend as soon as they broke up, she would definitely feel depressed because of this—depressed that she had naively thought that they would last for a long time, but in the end she was nothing in Jing Ruyu's eyes.
But she didn't show her emotions.
No matter what, she and Jing Ruyu have already broken up, and there is no sign of getting back together. Showing too much emotion will only make her unable to let go, which is unnecessary.
"What are you thinking about?" Jing Ruyu's voice recalled her thoughts of running away, "Come here and sleep, or you won't be energetic tomorrow. You sleep inside."
"Oh."
Xia Zhiyi obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down against the wall.
Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and she doesn't want to do what happened just now a second time.
She was suddenly very glad that the bed was against the wall, not a piece of paper that could be torn if poked.
Jing Ruyu then lay down.
The two shared the same bed after a long absence.
They were covered with the same quilt, and there was another layer of quilt on top of the quilt.
"..."
Xia Zhiyi: "What are you doing? Matryoshka dolls?"
Jing Ruyu said calmly: "The temperature here is low, so build an extra layer to avoid catching cold."
"Oh."
Xia Zhiyi didn't push away the quilt.
She suddenly remembered the time before she broke up with Jing Ruyu.
Jing Ruyu is more sensitive to temperature than she is, and doesn't like too cold or too hot.
When winter comes, no matter whether the floor heating is turned on or not, as long as the two of them are together, Jing Ruyu likes to hug her, as if he is warming up or acting like a baby.
In summer, Jing Ruyu wasn't so clingy to her anymore, and she didn't like clinging to Jing Ruyu at that time, it was so hot to hug her in summer.
But she still wants to hug Jing Ruyu occasionally, even if the weather is very hot.
As a person who is very sensitive to temperature, Jing Ruyu never rejected her.
If she doesn't want to be hugged, she won't be hugged, if she wants to be hugged, let her be hugged, and she is completely responsive to her needs.
She still remembered that besides being sensitive to temperature, she had considerable strength.
Sometimes if the hug is hot, she will hug her up effortlessly, and the two of them will take a comfortable cold bath together, and then they will inevitably have some greasy and crooked couple happy time.
The sweetness at that time was true, so was the breakup later, and so is the unexpected reunion and new world now.
With his thoughts withdrawn, Xia Zhi didn't feel sleepy.
She really didn't know how she got here, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.
It's just that when she closes her eyes now, she still seems to hear someone calling her outside the door, asking her to open the door, with lingering fear in her heart.
And Jing Ruyu beside her was very quiet, as if she had fallen asleep.
She couldn't help but envy this kind of sleep, and turned over lightly.
Oh, she really wants to sleep too...
At this moment, she heard a voice behind her: "Can't sleep?"
Xia Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her, slightly surprised: "You didn't sleep? I thought you were asleep, it's so quiet."
Jing Ruyu did not sleep at all.
It was because she hadn't slept that she noticed Xia Zhiyi and stopped her from opening the door in time.
"What are you thinking about and can't sleep?" Jing Ruyu asked.
Xia Zhiyi didn't hide anything: "Think about what happened just now.
"If I opened the door just now, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would harm me and you, and I almost opened the door just now..."
Recalling the details, she felt suffocated when she brushed past death again.
As soon as the words fell, rustling voices came from beside her, and in the blink of an eye, she was embraced by Jing Ruyu.
Just like hiding under the door just now, this embrace is gentle and full of security.
"None of that will happen."
Jing Ruyu stroked her hair soothingly, her tone was calm.
"Because I'm here."
The familiar embrace and gentle and resolute tone made Xia Zhiyi's heart instantly calm.
Suddenly, she was really not afraid.
"Um...thank you."
It's an unusual sight to behold.
After a few seconds, someone patted her head lightly twice.
"You're welcome."
It wasn't long before they realized how wrong their current posture was.
Jing Ruyu hugged Xia Zhiyi, and Xia Zhiyi's hand unconsciously hugged her waist, just like before.
Those who didn't know thought they were still together.
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I was afraid." Xia Zhiyi said.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that either." Jing Ruyu said.
"..."
Jing Ruyu: "Rest is important, go to sleep, good night."
Xia Zhiyi: "...good night."
For the first time, Xia Zhiyi found out that he was pretty good at talking.
…
The night passed, calm and peaceful.
When Xia Zhiyi woke up the next day, she first checked whether she was missing arms or legs, and then breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Xiaoqiao hadn't lied to them.
Just sleep well and get through the night.
Of course, the premise is that you can sleep well.
When she woke up, Jing Ruyu was no longer by her side.
After she got out of bed, Jing Ruyu came back from outside with a new set of clothes in his hand.
It was a set of long clothes and trousers worn by the ancients. The style was very simple, but it looked better than the clothes of the servants.
"The temperature here is unpredictable, you will catch cold easily if you wear short-sleeved pajamas," Jing Ruyu put the clothes beside her, "I just asked Xiaoqiao for it, the material is not bad, and it won't be uncomfortable to wear.
"Change it. I'm going out first. If you don't like it... just leave it there."
Xia Zhiyi picked up her clothes, blinked, and watched her leave the room without looking back.
The door was closed.
"What?" Xia Zhiyi scratched her face and couldn't help muttering, "Why are you so sweet, didn't you say you don't like me..."
She muttered, and finished changing her clothes honestly.
After changing clothes and going out, the other players also woke up.
Because she changed into new clothes, others couldn't help but look at her more.
A head of black and smooth long hair was tied into a ponytail, and the light gray long trousers were very suitable. Instead, it made her legs long and straight.
The almond eyes are bright, the appearance is beautiful and charming, kind and harmless, and there is a little more affinity. When he smiles, he is as warm as the sun.
It's just that after changing this clothes, he looks more like a man from the Gu family...
Sensing everyone's gaze, Xia Zhiyi greeted directly and generously: "Hi."
Everyone withdrew their gazes one after another and stopped looking at her.
Gao Hui said to Jing Ruyu, "Did you go out last night?"
Jing Ruyu looked at him and said calmly, "That's not me."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the courtyard dropped to freezing point.
The person shouting outside the door was not Jing Ruyu, they could guess what it would be.
Xiao Qiao came to deliver breakfast on time, interrupted their conversation, and began to arrange the morning tasks mercilessly.
Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu's mission location this time is the garden.
Xia Zhiyi was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
After sheds and freezers, a garden sounds like a sun room—she loves a sun room!
After distributing the tasks, Xiao Qiao assigned a few servants to take them to the task location after they finished eating.
"These are the tasks in the morning. Do you have any questions, honored guests?" Xiaoqiao went through the process as usual.
It turned out that Xia Zhiyi raised his hand again this time.
"I have."
"what?"
"I also want to work today with the company of Butler Qiao."
"..."
Xiaoqiao left without looking back.
Xia Zhiyi chased after her, leaned against the gate of the courtyard and suddenly called out to her back affectionately: "Qiaozi, how can we live without you, Qiaozi—!"
Xiaoqiao raised her hand and simply covered her ears.
——I have never seen such an outrageous newcomer!
The author has something to say:
Xiaoqiao is going to bed tonight, and in her dream, there are young couples chasing her, shouting: "Qiaozai!"
