Chapter 28: Wife is so handshum

Peng Ci dropped with An Xingzhou and followed right after him after landing. It didn’t even pick up stuff. If An Xingzhou went into a house, Peng Ci went inside. If An Xingzhou went upstairs, Peng Ci went upstairs. If An Xingzhou jumped out a window, Peng Ci…

Peng Ci huffed as it looked at the windowsill that was blocking its path. It couldn’t jump over it no matter what it did. It stepped on the keyboard, making clicking sounds as it readjusted its position over and over again to jump out the window, but it got stuck repeatedly.

Seeing An Xingzhou immediately run into another room and then efficiently jump out to keep going down, as well as the icon on the map getting smaller and smaller, Peng Ci finally couldn’t take it anymore. Its ears twitched as it shouted, “Wife! I can’t get out!”

An Xingzhou: “…”

An Xingzhou searched another room and then turned back, going back to watch Peng Ci jump out the window. He taught it to adjust its position little by little. “A little more to the left. Left. That’s too much to the left! Go back a little!”

Peng Ci didn’t panic since its wife was back and listened to An Xingzhou, focusing on adjusting its position. Finally, it jumped out the window and immediately turned to happily look at An Xingzhou. Its tail was shaking like a propeller. “Wife! I got out!”

An Xingzhou took a side glance at Peng Ci and saw it being unbelievably smug. Its upright ears twitched, its whiskers even flew upwards.

He couldn’t resist smiling and decided to go along with Peng Ci’s pride, complimenting, “Yeah. You’re so amazing. Follow me and pick up some stuff.”

“Okay!” “Okay Rabbit Peng Ci” shakily followed right behind An Xingzhou as he entered a room. It happily lowered its head and energetically picked up whatever An Xingzhou threw over to it, without a shred of doubt.

‘Wife is so nice! Wife picked up so much stuff and gave it all to me! Wife is so thoughtful!’

Peng Ci sneaked a glance at An Xingzhou, who was gazing at the computer screen seriously, and instantly became a drunk rabbit——it was drunk on seeing its wife’s serious side profile!

‘Wife loves me so much. How can Wife love me that much?!’ Peng Ci got happier the more it thought about it, and its speed of picking things up got even faster. Its entire rabbit body got pinkish.

After he finished throwing the stuff, An Xingzhou turned and went upstairs to continue searching, but Peng Ci was still picking up the supplies of love.

After it had filled up its bag and was about to follow An Xingzhou’s steps in running up the stairs, it suddenly remembered yesterday’s sweet co-op session. Wasn’t that person exactly the same as him: always keeping his head down and picking up things wildly?!

An Xingzhou’s “Better than a backpack. You’re a walking backpack” flashed through Peng Ci’s little head like lightning. Its heart instantly shattered as its paws tapped on the keyboard and it rushed upstairs, yelling, “Am I the same as him?!”

An Xingzhou was taken by surprise after hearing this shout, and his hand slipped, nearly falling off of the roof. He asked in confusion, “Who?”

Peng Ci sobbed a few times, saying unhappily, “That walking backpack from yesterday! You had him help you pick up stuff too… Is Ci Ci just a backpack like him?”

After thinking for a long while, An Xingzhou finally realized what Peng Ci’s focus was. He thought, ‘That walking backpack might be a little better than you.’

Rabbit paws weren’t as agile as human hands, so he couldn’t resist turning to sneak glances at Peng Ci while it was playing, only to see Peng Ci dancing between the keyboard and mouse agilely, like the keyboard was burning hot and it was jumping around not to get burned. The desk and keyboard sounded with its slamming and clattering.

But he couldn’t say Peng Ci was a noob; Peng Ci was working hard enough, and he didn’t have the guts to say that, mainly. If he said it, Peng Ci would throw a fit again and might even throw a grenade to commit suicide.

An Xingzhou had seen through Peng Ci early on. When Peng Ci was cute and well-behaved, it was cute and well-behaved. But when it threw a fit and acted coquettish, it was pretty scary. You could say Peng Ci would stop at nothing. An Xingzhou admitted defeat; he could only spoil Peng Ci.

“How could you be the same as him?” An Xingzhou gritted his teeth, feeling them go numb. Even so, he braced himself and thought back to those cheesy pick-up lines, comforting Peng Ci, “He’s just a backpack, but you’re my baby…”

Tch, it was too cheesy. It was cheesy to the point that whoever heard it would throw-up. Even rabbits would probably feel disgusted!

But Peng Ci fell silent for a few seconds. An Xingzhou saw Peng Ci’s in-game character circle around a few times strangely before stopping.

An Xingzhou turned and saw that Peng Ci had already laid on the table, with its paws facing the ceiling. It didn’t even worry about the game as it shook its little pawsies in the air. “I’m a baby. I’m Wife’s baby… Everyone knows I’m Wife’s baby, haha…”

An Xingzhou: “…”

He didn’t expect Peng Ci to be an unusual rabbit that actually liked this kind of thing!

An Xingzhou sighed, but after thinking about it from another perspective, he felt that it was really normal.

After all, Peng Ci was a rabbit who liked that kind of non-mainstream, unrefined camera filter. Wasn’t it really normal for Peng Ci to like those kinds of pick-up lines! Normally, if he just casually complimented Peng Ci, Peng Ci would get so smug it would kick its legs. Even though the cheesy pick-up lines were cheesy, they were still pick-up lines!

An Xingzhou held his forehead in his hand and said coldly, “Stop being so smug. Get up and play games.”

Peng Ci immediately turned over and sat up, charging over to the keyboard again. “Okay! Ci Ci listens to Wife the most!”

The human and rabbit pair were saying cheesy pick-up lines and being all affectionate on one side while their teammates were getting knocked down nearby.

“Come res 1 me!” The teammate who got knocked turned on his mic and said, “Hurry, I’m very close to you guys!”

Peng Ci did as An Xingzhou had taught and clicked on the map to take a look and then confirmed with An Xingzhou, “Wife, he really is super cwose. Let’s go save him!”

An Xingzhou didn’t know what kind of household Peng Ci grew up in, but it was innocent, well-behaved, and knew how to act cute. It also had a strong sense of justice.

He turned to glance at Peng Ci and noticed that Peng Ci was looking at him a little anxiously with its little pawsies on the keyboard. It even shrunk a little helplessly, like it was worried that An Xingzhou wouldn’t go save that person.

At first, An Xingzhou didn’t want to assist that person because that teammate didn’t speak very politely. He was the one who got knocked down, but he was acting all arrogant.

But after looking at Peng Ci, he said, “Let’s go and assist him.”

“Okay!” Peng Ci immediately jumped up to step on the keyboard, running towards the teammate after putting its gun away. Its movements were even faster than An Xingzhou’s.

An Xingzhou followed Peng Ci and was just about to tell it not to run so quickly to avoid getting shot down. But before he said it, he heard two gunshots, and Peng Ci got knocked in the same place as that teammate.

“Sob sob! Wife!” Peng Ci said, “I got shot! Why was I shot!”

An Xingzhou thought quietly, “Because you ran too fast, idiot.”

He thought this as he threw a smoke bomb over to where Peng Ci and his teammate were, sniped the person squatting on the clifftop, and then assisted the teammate who was low on HP before turning to assist Peng Ci. Then he had Peng Ci go over to him, putting some distance between them and that teammate.

After the teammate got up, he instantly turned on his mic and said to Peng Ci, “Why are you such a noob?! Do you not have hands?! You don’t even know how to play games!”

An Xingzhou immediately frowned after hearing it, just about to turn on his mic and retort, but Peng Ci was faster than he was.

Peng Ci’s clear voice sounded from its mouth and the speaker. “I don’t!”

An Xingzhou and the teammate: “…”

That teammate didn’t think that there’d be such a shameless person and literally choked before he scolded, “Are you using your feet to play?!”

“How did you know?!” Peng Ci shouted in surprise, “So you’re using your feet to play too?! No wonder you almost died!”

An Xingzhou and the teammate: “…”

If An Xingzhou didn’t know that Peng Ci didn’t have any bad intentions and that it really was using its feet to play, he might’ve suspected that Peng Ci was being sarcastic.

But that teammate didn’t know that. He thought that Peng Ci was roasting him and got so angry he was just short of fainting, immediately cursing, “You f**king——”

“Bang!”

An Xingzhou timed his throwing of the bomb to explode the teammate who was about to curse.

“Ci Ci, turn off your mic and the speaker.” He watched Peng Ci turn off its mic and speaker after he said it, turning off his speaker as well. Turning on his mic, he said coldly, “He plays even better than you with his feet. What are you playing with? Your shamelessness? If you’re a noob, just turn off your mic and quit whining. You should kneel and kowtow in thanks since I helped you. Get it?”

“But you don’t even have the right to kowtow now. Just wait for death, dumbass.” An Xingzhou threw a bomb over without a single bit of hesitation after he finished speaking.

Peng Ci watched from the side in a daze, not knowing that it’d been cursed at. After a few seconds, it said, “Wi-wife!”

An Xingzhou lowered his voice to ask, “What’s wrong? I was too fierce and scared you?”

Peng Ci shook its head, its ears red and its whiskers twitched. “Wife is so handshum… I love Wife…”
