"…I'm not ignoring you." Yin Xiuguang was focused on the students' voices and didn't hear Li Mo's voice at all.
"I've been calling you, but you're not responding at all." Li Mo sat upright opposite Yin Xiu, staring intently at him. His expression was still smiling, but the curve of his smile was slightly less pronounced than usual.
Yin Xiu could tell he was unhappy at a glance.
"Sorry, I didn't hear it." Yin Xiu also seemed to be thinking about it; he really hadn't heard Li Mo's voice at all.
Perhaps his attention was completely drawn to the students earlier. Although none of them were human, Yin Xiu had only received such treatment in this instance. He was greeted happily every day, asked questions every day, and even given gifts. It felt very strange.
"Don't you dare ignore me again next time." Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. "When I get angry, the consequences are severe."
Yin Xiu picked up a chicken leg and held it to his mouth. "Okay, okay, don't be angry."
Faced with the food that Yin Xiudu offered to his mouth, Li Mo opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, chewing it in his mouth, temporarily forgiving him for ignoring him earlier.
However, the strange feeling lingering around Yin Xiu was still somewhat awkward. Looking at his body, there was nothing unusual about him; he was Chinese, so why did he suddenly feel so strange?
After dinner, Yin Xiu would go to the dormitory first, as per the rules, and then sneak into the teachers' dormitory after nine o'clock to see what information Ye Tianxuan had missed.
When Yin Xiu returned to his dormitory, he saw some small gift boxes placed at the door of his room. The clean floor was covered with colorful and pretty gift boxes, each one carefully arranged and stacked at the door of his dormitory.
Meanwhile, some students in the distance were chatting casually in the corridor, secretly watching his reaction. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to his reaction after seeing the gift.
Yin Xiu stared silently at the pile of gifts in front of him.
The scene he was looking forward to, but in the dungeon, it was still a group of monsters he needed to be wary of.
It's complicated; my feelings are incredibly complicated.
He knows he should be wary, but deep down there's a tiny bit of urge to open it, to see what kind of intentions others have in store for him.
He remained silent, but Li Mo stepped forward, picked up the gifts, and stuffed all the boxes into his mouth. "Don't look! Don't accept them! You can't take their things!"
Yin Xiu frowned as he watched the gift boxes being crushed into a ball and thrown into Li Mo's mouth. Tinnitus and dizziness returned, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He was startled to realize that this uncomfortable feeling was aversion, a feeling he had experienced before when he saw Li Mo eat the gift given to him by that student.
Something's very wrong; he actually dislikes Li Mo.
Yin Xiu took a deep breath, turned his head away, and suppressed the inexplicable emotion. "I believe you. I don't want their gifts. Take them all."
He walked past Li Mo and into the dormitory with the pile of gift boxes. He was feeling irritable and also felt inexplicably hungry, even though he had just come back from the cafeteria.
Yin Xiu wandered around the dormitory room but couldn't find anything to eat. His gaze involuntarily fell on the dormitory refrigerator.
He opened the refrigerator in his dorm room, which was filled with all his favorite foods.
Delicious fish, tender chicken legs, and sweet pastries.
Each item exuded a fragrance, enticing Yin Xiu to approach.
When Yin Xiu opened the refrigerator, the live chat erupted in an uproar.
"Brother Xiu!! Don't open the fridge! Don't forget rule number three: you can't touch anything in the dorm fridge!"
"Speaking of that thing, no normal person would touch it! It's all mangled, bloody internal organs, who would want to eat it!"
"No, no, no, look at Xiu-ge's expression. It's obvious that what Xiu-ge sees isn't something that's terrifying."
"Indeed, rule number three for passing the level is that you can't eat the food in the refrigerator. It's not as delicious as it looks, but obviously it will be something that tastes very good to the players."
"Brother Xiu has a good memory, he shouldn't have forgotten this rule and opened the refrigerator, what happened?"
"Something feels off. The instance did something to Brother Xiu, but we can't see it."
"Have you guys noticed... Xiu hasn't been talking to us for a long time? He was also inexplicably ignoring our roommates' voices before. Is Xiu... unable to see us?"
Holy crap, no way?
Since the comments section couldn't remind Yin Xiu, he could only yell at his roommates to see.
Li Mo quickly kicked the gift box aside and entered the dormitory, where he saw Yin Xiu standing in front of the refrigerator, swallowing hard, his eyes fixed on those unidentified scarlet things.
"You can't eat this!" Li Mo slammed the refrigerator door shut. "You can't eat these!"
He clearly saw Yin Xiu frown at him, revealing an expression of annoyance, but Yin Xiu still patiently asked, "Why?"
Li Mo blocked the refrigerator, preventing Yin Xiu from opening it again, and stared at him intently. "You absolutely cannot touch anything in the refrigerator! Have you forgotten the rules?"
Yin Xiu looked surprised for a moment. He lowered his eyes and pinched his brow with a complicated expression. "Is there such a rule?"
"Yes, everyone in the comments says so." Li Mo frowned and looked Yin Xiu up and down. "Don't you remember?"
"Bullet comments?" Yin Xiu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I don't remember having this rule..."
"But there is indeed such a rule that you can't eat it," Li Mo said solemnly, as if afraid that Yin Xiu wouldn't believe him.
Yin Xiu nodded slowly. "I believe you. I won't eat it."
He seemed to realize that he was in a state of confusion, that even the rules in his mind were no longer correct. He had no choice but to trust the person in front of him.
I believe that Rimer is the only one who is right.
"Are you hungry?" Seeing Yin Xiu relax, Li Mo asked in a low voice, "Shall I go to the cafeteria and get you something to eat?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, took a step forward with annoyance, and pinned Li Mo against the refrigerator. He buried his face in the cold chest, hugged the cold body in front of him tightly, and whispered, "Don't leave my side yet. I'm afraid I'll do something wrong if you're not here."
Li Mo stood there, staring down at Yin Xiu's head resting against his chest.
He hugged me first, but he was still very uneasy.
Looking back on Yin Xiu's life, how often has he relied on others like this, or shown a vulnerable side to others?
Perhaps... I am the first?
A strange emotion welled up inside Li Mo, making her feel tingly and numb. Before she could stop herself, her head started spinning again, and she became unrestrained.
The viewers in the live stream covered their aching eyes, angrily commenting, "Can't my roommate be normal for once? Don't suddenly explode your head, it's terrifying!"
"Ouch, my eyes! They hurt so much! I'm going to have nightmares tonight!"
"Although... I also want to let my guard down and rely on my Xiu-ge to be close to me!"
"Watch your mouth, or your roommate's head will be the one that gets blown out."
"Oh... I guess I'll just keep dreaming."
