284 How to Get Back? (1/2)

Su Yan stared at his boyfriend before he freaked out. He grabbed Nie Chang by the lapel of the robe and shook him. ”Ah Chang! What should we do now? I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a novel! Wouldn't that mean I won't see my mother ever again?! And what about our house?! And our dog?! And won't Old Lao and Gong Gong worry about you?!”

Nie Chang tried to grab his little darling's hands and make him stop with shaking him. Unfortunately, Su Yan had already gotten so much into his panic that he didn't even think of stopping.

”Ah Chang, what should we do? We definitely can't stay here! You have to come up with something!”

”Ah Yan, darling …” Nie Chang frowned. ”Stop shaking me already.”

”But —”

”Stop first, then we'll talk.”

Su Yan stopped shaking him but still clung to his robe. ”Then what do you want to say? You have to come up with something! I don't want to be left alone here.”

Nie Chang heaved a sigh of relief and put his hands onto Su Yan's shoulders. ”First of all, you're not alone. I'm still with you and I won't leave. So don't worry too much. I'm sure we'll find a way to get back.”

”But how?” Su Yan's eyes teared up. ”I don't want to have to live in a novel!”

”Alright, alright.” Nie Chang patted his head. ”Let's think about this slowly. We might not have a door where we can just go back but we came here through the system. So shouldn't we be able to get back with the system? And even if we can't it should at least be able to tell us how we can get back.”

Su Yan perked up. That was right! They could just ask the system! He wanted to take out his phone only to realize that … he didn't have it anymore. Su Yan's eyes teared up again. ”Ah Chang! How are we supposed to ask the system? We've been dumped in this strange world and we don't even have our clothes anymore. My phone was in my pocket! Now it's gone!”

Nie Chang hurriedly patted his darling's head. ”Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't think of that. But don't worry! I'm sure the system wouldn't let us be stranded in your novel.”

Su Yan frowned. ”Are you sure? It's a very mean system. Maybe it wants to get rid of me? I did cheat it for some experience points.”

Nie Chang sighed and wiped those tears away. ”No. It wouldn't. Who could bear to get rid of someone as lovable as you? Hm?”

Su Yan pursed his lips. Well, that was right. Other than those experience points he had gotten through the practice tasks a little bit dishonestly, there really was nothing the system should have against him. So … ”I guess not?”

”You see? In that case, the system will have given us some way out. We just need to think about it and we'll find it.”

Su Yan nodded eagerly. Thankfully, Nie Chang was with him! Now, they really had a chance to get out of here. ”So what do we do now?”
