Chapter 32 - Abandoned Hospital (End) (2/2)

Meng Ke was very happy. Ming Xin and Ji Yun Xiao also revealed a smile.

Seeing that all three of them were safe, Cheng Zhi Chu was naturally very happy. He immediately forgot about the thoughts he had earlier. Only Bai Yi retracted the smile on his face and looked over at them with a dull expression.

“Were you the ones that killed the boss? That’s amazing. I was terrified just standing in front of him and yet you were able to kill him………..”

Meng Xin spoke excitedly. The others talked for a while and learnt that it was Cheng Zhi Chu’s accomplishment. The two sisters revealed a look of admiration and they showered him with whole heap of praises rendering Cheng Zhi Chu a little embarrassed.

What they didn’t know was that he didn’t kill Xie Yuan Huai. He had……kissed…………

“This time, I must give Pinecone my thanks. It really helped us a lot.”

Meng Ke smiled and said to Cheng Zhi Chu: “Give me your forum ID. After we get out, lets add each other as friends. It would be better if you could also give me your phone number. I promised to buy a lot of fried chicken for Pinecone.”

“My ID is ‘Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice’.” Cheng Zhi Chu blinked and said, “But don’t worry about the fried chicken. We’re probably not from the same city?”

“That’s okay. We can just invest in a fried chicken shop near your place.” Meng Xin chuckled, “As long as you have money, everything isn’t a problem.”

Turns out those two are rich beauties??

Hearing their light-hearted tone, Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned. He suddenly felt that, compared to them, his entire body was probably emitting the scent of poverty.

“My ID is ‘Meng Ke Ke’. My little sisters’ is ‘Meng Xin Xin’. It is the Meng for dream.”

Meng Ke thought for a moment and then looked over at Bai Yi: “Bai Yi, what’s your ID? Lets also add each other as friends?”

Bai Yi smiled faintly: “I’m in Death Mode. I can’t use my phone or the forums.”

“Death Mode?”

The two sisters and Ji Yun Xiao were surprised. Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but glance over at Bai Yi.

He knows that Bai Yi can actually use the forum. He not only could use it, it even seemed like he uses it very often and would always respond to his messages in just a few seconds. But since Bai Yi had said this, it looked like he didn’t want to exchange contact information. Although he didn’t know why, he naturally wouldn’t say anything.

But in retrospect, Bai Yi seems to be a little cold to people other than him…………

Cheng Zhi Chu rubbed his chin in thought. Bai Yi didn’t seem to talk much to the others. He found it a little strange but more than that, he felt happy. Afterall, he was getting special treatment. Who wouldn’t like something like that?

The Meng sisters were surprised for moment. They wanted to ask more about it but they saw that Bai Yi had already looked away and he looked like he didn’t want to talk about it any further so they could only hold themselves back.

They found it a little strange. Bai Yi and Cheng Zhi Chu were clearly acquainted but, if Bai Yi is in Death Mode, that would mean that he wouldn’t be able to add Cheng Zhi Chu as a friend or even get in contact with him. How were they able to get into the same instance?

Perhaps they had a special method?

This thought flashed through their mind and they no longer thought about it anymore. Afterall, there are many strange things available in the marketplace and it wasn’t unusual for something to have such a function.

“My ID is Chameleon.” Ji Yun Xiao said in a somewhat embarrassed manner. “It’s written in English. It means chameleon.”

“You’re willing to add us as friends?”

The eyes of the two sisters were bright. They didn’t expect Ji Yun Xiao to willingly reveal his ID. They didn’t even think that they would one day be able to have their idols contact information, even if it is just a game forum ID.

They remembered when they first asked for his contact information and was shot down by Da Gao. Because of this, they hated that cold and buff bodyguard but, now that he is no longer here, they couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

As for why Ji Yun Xiao would choose this ID, they understood ———— Ji Yun Xiao likes all kinds of animals but what was very interesting was that his favourite animals were not the usual cats or dogs. Instead, it was a chameleon and similar types of reptiles.

………..Although they felt that with Xiao Xiao’s temperament he suited cats or dogs better, but it is his own preference after all so they naturally respected it.

Apart from Bai Yi, everyone exchanged their IDs and prepared to add each other as friends after leaving the instance. As for deciding on who should be responsible for writing the strategy guide, they would talk about it once they’re out. Right now, all they wanted to do was return and rest up.

“If there’s a chance, let’s do another instance together.”

Meng Ke blinked her eyes and said to the bear: “I won’t forget about the fried chicken I promised you!”

“Ao~” The bear responded happily.

“Let’s go.”

Seeing Ji Yun Xiao and the sisters leaving the hospital, Cheng Zhi Chu also turned his head over to Bai Yi and said this to him.

“Yeah.” Bai Yi lowered his head slightly and glanced over at him. The corner of his lips then lifted slightly to reveal a hint of a smile. He deliberately said. “That’s right. Zhi Chu, don’t worry too much about what happened earlier…….”

“!!”

It would have been fine if he didn’t mention it but, the moment he mentioned it, Cheng Zhi Chu once again started to feel steam rising from his head. His face blushed furiously, and he could no longer speak.

Bai Yi was worried that he may have teased him too much, so he immediately tried to appease him and tell him not to worry. He eventually said: “Let’s go. Don’t forget to contact me afterwards. See you at the next instance.”

“…………Okay.”

Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t dare to look at him. He lowered his head and replied in a small voice. Finally, he walked out of the hospital and returned to reality.

His consciousness darkened for a moment and he felt a little dizzy. After blinking a few times, he found himself back in his bedroom. His room was brightly lit, and his room gave off a warm and simple vibe that immediately gave him a sense of relief.

“Wu?”

The bear climbed out from his shirt pocket and it looked around the room curiously. It seemed to be very satisfied and, just as it wanted to jump onto his bed, it was caught by Cheng Zhi Chu.

“No Pinecone. You need to take a bath first before getting onto the bed.” He poked the bears nose. The bear twitched its ears and nodded its head obediently.

“But my clothes are so dirty………..”

He looked down at his dirty clothes. When he saw Ji Yun Xiao’s face on his T-shirt, his expression immediately changed.

Oh no. He just remembered. Before entering the instance, he was helping his sister take a photo. His sister had just stepped out to take a call but if she was to come back and see that her precious fan shirt was dirtied, she would definitely kill him!!

【That is not a problem. There is a “Cleaning Service” available in the marketplace. You can use ten survival points to wash up to twenty pieces of clothing. You don’t even need to take it off and it would instantly become clean. You can give it a go.]

[There’s actually a service like that?]

Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised but he naturally went to purchase that service. In an instant, his T-shirt was clean. Unfortunately, the price of washing one piece of clothing and twenty pieces of clothing was the same and he had spent ten survival points.

【Of course. There are all kinds of services available in the marketplace. Otherwise did you think that the people in death mode would have to constantly wear dirty clothes since they can’t get out?]

[That’s true……..]

Cheng Zhi Chu thought of Bai Yi and nodded his head in agreement. Bai Yi was always clean and when he was held by him, he smelt quite good………

Fuck. This isn’t right. Why is he thinking of that again? Stop thinking about it………

Cheng Zhi Chu’s ears reddened and he quickly shook his head. He pulled out the Ji Yun Xiao doll from his bag and acted like nothing had happened.

Just as he sat back down, his little sister Cheng Ling Ling came back with her phone in her hand. With a strange look on her face she passed her phone over to Cheng Zhi Chu and said hesitantly: “You…….You should pick up. It’s for you.”

“For me?”

Cheng Zhi Chu received her phone with surprise. If they were looking for him, why didn’t they call his phone directly?

He glanced at the caller ID on the screen. The nickname was strange as well. It was “You know Who”.

Who is this person……..they even know Ling Ling and himself?

He was more and more confused. He raised the phone to his ear and said: “Hello?”

“……………..”

The person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. The magnetic voice of a young man then travelled through.

“………….Cheng Cheng, long time no talk. How have you been?”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s expression immediately changed, and he quickly hung up. The phone however continued to ring. No matter how many times he hung up on it, the other party would call back again.

Cheng Ling Ling was also a little helpless. She muttered in small voice: “Brother, you should just pick up and talk to him properly………. Ever since you blocked him, he called me many times. If you don’t answer, he would continue calling me.”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s expression became even more unsightly. When the phone rang again, he finally picked it up and spoke to it coldly.

“Gu Zhen, what else do you want? Don’t call Ling Ling again and don’t come and find me. I don’t want to see you again.”

“I’m really sorry about calling your sister. I had no other options. Since you’re finally willing to answer my calls, I won’t call her again.”

The person on the other end paused for a moment. The young man called ‘Gu Zhen’ then spoke up again: “Cheng Cheng, are you still angry at me and want to break up?”

“Not ‘want to’. We have already cut off all relations.” Cheng Zhi Chu responded coldly. “Also, we have never gone out. Did you think that something like that could be considered a relationship?”

“I’m sorry. I was wrong when I lied to you.”

Gu Zhen’s voice was low and very soft. He then changed the topic and his spoke with more weight in his words.

“But Cheng Cheng, I like you. I really like you.”

“So I won’t give up on you.”

“I won’t break up with you.”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 32)

I didn’t lie to Zhi Chu, that was indeed my first kiss.

I naturally wouldn’t kiss anyone other than him.

But even if I haven’t done it before, I think my kissing skills are pretty good. I will let Zhi Chu like kissing me.
