Qi Xun heard a strange voice from outside the door. While guessing who it was, he opened the door and asked casually. Unexpectedly, the two people in the room were stiff and had an expression of ‘how can you appear at this time’ on their faces.

Qi Xun’s steps paused, and immediately set off an alarm in his heart.

He looked at the ordinary man beside Le Han, walked over, and calmly asked, “Gua Gua, is this your friend?”

“Yes, yes, ah !” Le Han almost bit his tongue. He didn’t know what he was so nervous about. He obviously didn’t do anything wrong!

“You, you, how are you!” Zhao Yifei hurriedly got up, and because of his guilty conscience, even made a deep bow. Qi Xun was slightly surprised by his respect and almost thought he was meeting his younger brother.

Qi Xun returned to his senses and wanted Le Han to introduce him. However, with a stiff smile, Zhao Yifei said, “That, then I won’t disturb you, I’ll go first!”

Le Han quickly nodded his head. “ Mhm !”

After speaking, Zhao Yifei didn’t even go out of the hut, directly used the map switch function, and disappeared.

Qi Xun: “…”

Dare to be a little more obvious?

He turned his head and looked at Le Han.

Le Han widened his cute round eyes with a natural innocence on his face.

Qi Xun squinted slightly.

Le Han swallowed.

The next second, Qi Xun moved slowly, passed by the table, and stopped behind Le Han.

Le Han couldn’t help straightening his back.

Qi Xun stood behind him, stretched out his hand, and said casually, “Speaking of which, I haven’t met your friend.”

When Le Han felt the man lift a strand of his hair and touch the back of his neck, he subconsciously shrunk back. “I don’t usually play with him.”

Qi Xun raised his eyebrows. “Since you don’t usually play with him, then how did you become friends? Is it a friend in reality?”

Le Han: “Huh… yes…”

Qi Xun’s movements stopped, and the expression in his eyes became a little subtle.

The next second, he stopped his line of thought and untied Le Han’s hairband, the other’s hair falling down. He then took out a wooden comb from his sleeve and gently combed his hair.

Le Han couldn’t see the scene behind him, but he felt Qi Xun’s movements. He quietly blushed as his heart pounded thump, thump, thump.

“You, didn’t you say you wouldn’t be online tonight?” Le Han asked shyly in a low voice.

“I came back early, so I thought about it and decided to take a look. Aren’t you also online?” Qi Xun said, and then continued indifferently, “What did you say to your friend about abandoning your moral integrity?”

Le Han: “…” So he didn’t forget about it?

Le Han’s eyes were spinning, and because of his nervousness, he continuously hit his knee with his finger.

Qi Xun looked at his small movements and deliberately lightened the action of combing his hair, touching the boy’s skin from time to time. He even bent down slightly, put his lips against Le Han’s ear, and whispered, “Darling, tell me?”

The man’s low voice came from behind his ear with a warm breath. Le Han only felt his back go numb, and he had the illusion that he couldn’t even control his mouth. After opening his lips, he said softly, “He, he just wanted me to go and—”

The phrase ‘have an affair’ was almost said. Le Han was startled and hurriedly changed his words, “He has a crush on me and wants me to remarry!”

Qi Xun: “!”

Le Han: “!”

In his hurry, Le Had had no wisdom and only gave birth to stupidity!

As soon as Qi Xun heard this, he closed his hand, pinched Le Han’s hair, and said gloomily, “Remarry?”

Le Han shuddered and wanted to say that he was wrong. However, when he thought about it again, he wondered how it could be solved. Since he wanted to hide the trumpet, he could only lie to explain the scene just now!

After thinking about it, Le Han nodded calmly. “ Mhm !”

Anyway, let Zhao Yifei avoid Zhan Ge in the future.

After Le Han settled his thoughts, he saw the man put down his hair and walk to the door. He coldly ordered the frog he had brought outside, “Remember what that man looked like? You’ll bite him every time you see him coming!”

Le Han: “Wait, don’t, ah !”

Qi Xun’s expression became even colder, and his face was full of frost. “Not only must you bite him, but also spray him with venom— spray him until he dares not come for a second time!”

Le Han: “…”

Le Han got up, ran to the door, hugged the man from behind, and told him in a soft voice, “I only like you, ah !”

These words made Qi Xun feel a little relieved, but then he hardened his face again. “He has a crush on you, and you are still friends with him? Aren’t you afraid of giving him meaningless expectations?”

Le Han briefly racked his brain on how he could support his lie and said with a dry smile, “I- I can’t help it either…”

“So, did he shamelessly chase you?” Qi Xun automatically rounded Le Han’s words and said with no expression, “I knew it. Next time I see him outside, I’ll kill him once with my main account.”

Le Han: “…” I feel that if we go on, Zhao Yifei will not be able to mix in the game anymore.

The more Qi Xun thought about it, the more upset and troubled he was.

This Gua Gua actually had real friends in the game.

Of course, this was quite common. It was natural for good friends to play games together, but that man had a crush on his Gua Gua?!

In the game, he could help his Gua Gua avoid harassment, but what about in reality?

Qi Xun became annoyed, and somehow he suddenly remembered the farce in the small theater just now.

Were lovely schoolboys usually harassed?

Qi Xun became a little anxious.

Recalling what he’d said when he had met Qin Yuyuan and Prince Tang at the World Congress, Qi Xun opened his mouth but was interrupted by Le Han before he could speak.

Seeing that the man was still frowning, Le Han hurriedly changed the topic and said, “It’s a little late. Are you going to bed? Or do you want to play for a while? Speaking of which, tonight, the game will open a new temporary map for couples. It can help couples improve their heart rate value. Should we go and have a look, ah ?”

Qi Xun’s words were blocked.

After careful consideration, he felt that it was not the right time to talk about this topic and suppressed his thoughts. He didn’t want to sleep yet, so he said, “Well, let’s go.”

The two waited for a while, and when it turned twelve o’clock, a small strange icon appeared in their control panel.

The name of the temporary map was ‘Gentle and Soft Village’, which sounded ambiguous.

The two didn’t think much about it, and clicked to enter together, the scene changing. In a blink of an eye, they appeared in front of an antique building. A translucent dialog box appeared in front of them, explaining the rules of the map.

The map was composed of various obstacles and challenges. When the couple entered the Soft and Gentle Village, they would face different trials that had to be solved within the time limit. After clearing each level, they would be rewarded with a heartbeat value of 100 points and items related to the player’s identity.

For example, if the player was a soldier, he could receive weapons like knives and guns, while farmers could obtain rare seeds.

Of course, Le Han and Qi Xun didn’t come to the location for this, so after hastily reading the rules, they closed the dialog box and pushed the village’s door open with ease.

After walking in, Qi Xun said, “Since the name is Soft and Gentle Village, I’m afraid that the so-called difficulties are not fighting or killing. If the system asks us to…”

Seeing that Le Han knew what he meant, Qi Xun chuckled and asked with a smile on his face, “Are you shy?”

Le Han blushed and said, “The people who created this map are not so unethical, are they…”

Qi Xun’s heart felt itchy due to Le Han’s appearance. He pictured an image in his head and reached out to hold Le Han’s chin, his voice slightly hoarse. “Who knows—”

The voice suddenly stopped, and the man who was teasing him disappeared. Le Han was stunned, and in the next second, a countdown appeared in front of him— thirty minutes.

Before Le Han could recover, he noticed something strange in the corner. When he turned his head, he was startled because a man suddenly appeared before him.

It was a handsome man wearing a long white robe, leaning on the side of the main hall stairs and looking at him with an enchanting smile. “Gua Gua…”

Le Han was stupefied. “You, why are you here?”

The man in front of him was Duan Wang, who had been a nobleman of Zhao for some time. He was also the one that Le Han had liked for a while in the game!

Duan Wang smiled and said nothing. Then he walked towards him and held his hand.

“Wait!” Le Han was a little flustered by the strength of the other party and his OOC-like smile. However, before he could withdraw his hand, another person suddenly hugged him from behind.

The man breathed next to his ear and whispered, “Lovely little Gua Gua, did you miss me?”

Le Han’s scalp was numb. When he heard the voice, he felt something wrong. The two were men he had liked in the past!

The building was about five stories tall. Inside, one handsome man after another emerged. They appeared in the lobby, on the stairs, and beside the railing of each floor. Each of them called him in a low or gentle voice.

“Gua Gua…”

“Baby Gua Gua…”

“Dear little Gua Gua…”

“Gua Gua, ah …”

A pair of hands touched his face, caught his chin, and tilted it up, at the same time, another man put his arms around his waist.

Le Han’s eyes were dizzy.

What, what is going on!

Why did it feel like he had set up a flag before… This map was really unethical, but the lack of moral integrity wasn’t quite right, ah …

The author has something to say:

Qi Xun: Maybe the task of the map is to let us do something shameful!

Game system: It’s something shameful, but not with you, hehe.

Qi Xun: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
