Foreword: Bingjian and I came up with this during our discussions. Lu Ren’s feelings for Song Hanzhang are very complicated; on one hand they shared a very interesting relationship when they were young (to keep it spoiler free, they basically formed an ‘alliance’ against a mutual ‘enemy’), but on the other hand, after breaking free, they went on their separate ways. By the time they arrived in university, they were all but on opposing paths. Lu Ren continued happily on his path of psychopathy while Xuezhang walked firmly on his path of normalcy.
Friendly Warning: The extra chapters contain many shameless ships, such as Lu/Song/Lu, Lin/Lu/Lin, Song/Lin/Song etc, enter at your own risk.

Welcome back to “The Easter Egg Game”. In these slice of life episodes set between the end of the first round and the start of the second round, players can use Lin Jue to activate many different routes, including Lu/Lin/Lu or Song/Lin/Song, or maybe even the hidden route of Lu/Song/Lu bromance!
The first two aren’t difficult to trigger, but the Lu/Song route requires some special warnings.
The karma between Lu/Song is very complicated- for example, in the ‘morning of the next day’ episode, Lin Jue believed that everything was a dream after waking up and arrived at the canteen with a light and joyful heart, only to see Lu Ren and Song Hanzhang standing in front of Lilith. It turned out that everything was real!
Now, are the players curious as to why those two were in front of Lilith at the same time?
The truth was that after waking up, Xuezhang didn’t think that it was all a dream like the innocent Lin Jue at all and immediately dialed the phone number of one of the survivors: Lu Ren. After recounts from both sides, they both understood the situation.
Song Hanzhang asked a friend to investigate last night’s players, then met up with Lu Ren at the plaza.
That was the scene that Lin Jue saw.
After the conversation with Lilith, the three went to eat breakfast together. An important decision here is the seating!
Because it was a table for four and Lu Ren and Xuezhang sat opposite each other, who you choose to sit next to will determine which route you will choose in the slice of life episodes.
Of course, if you wish to observe the Lu/Song bromance, you’ll have to sit by Xuezhang as if you sit next to Lu Ren, he won’t nudge at the relationship between Xuezhang and Lin Jue as often.
During breakfast, Xuezhang showed the other two the text message, then left for somewhere unknown. You can choose to leave to find Xuezhang after talking with Lu Ren where, according to the book’s plot, he will be standing under the oak tree outside the dormitory door, but! Beware that if you choose ‘take a stroll’ rather than ‘go to the dormitory’, you will not meet up with Xuezhang due to the time difference!
Did you think that you missed Xuezhang’s route? No, no, no, this is for the beautiful Lu/Song route!
Arriving at Song Hanzhang’s room, you will find that the door to the room is slightly ajar, and coming from inside the room is Lu Ren’s voice.
Lu Ren: “C’mon, you’re still so cold to me even now~”
Song Hanzhang: “We didn’t know each other well in the first place.”
Lu Ren: “How rude, even though we’ve known each other for more than ten years.”
Song Hanzhang: “…”
Lu Ren: “You tried so hard to get away from me but at times like these, you still have to come back to me for help. This feeling… Hah, the world sure is a wonderful place.”
Song Hanzhang: “…It was just to exchange information. I value my life.”
Lu Ren: “How heartless, when I’ve never even done anything terrible to you.”
A bang comes from inside the room. Lin Jue pushes open the door nervously, only to see Lu Ren pushing Song Hanzhang against the wall, a hand on his chin and the lower halves of their bodies almost right on top of each other. Lu Ren tilts his head to the side lazily, his eyes laid-back yet oppressive.
Song Hanzhang, coldly: “Let go of me.”
Lu Ren chuckles, his lips almost on Song Hanzhang’s ears. “I’ll be waiting for you.”
A victorious smile is on Lu Ren’s face as he lightly touches two fingers to his lips and blows a kiss at Lin Jue. “I’ll be waiting for you as well, big rabbit~”
↑
The above is actually because Lu Ren wasn’t able to properly exchange information with Xuezhang before, so he took another trip here. Of course, players are welcome to treat it as him coming over specifically to tease Xuezhang. That depends on how shameless the player is.

Song Hanzhang (drunk) x Lin Jue
“Xuezhang you’re drunk?!” Lin Jue’s eyes widened at Song Hanzhang who had pushed him onto the bed.
Song Hanzhang leaned down and looked at his face with a frown, his eyes confused and deeply dazed from the alcohol.
And then… he started undoing Lin Jue’s buttons.
Lin Jue felt a thousand alpacas1 run across his heart.
Is this the legendary drunken sex trope?
He was so, so, so, so, so, so looking forward to it!
Even though they had been together for almost a year, he was never shameless enough to bring up exploring each other’s bodies deeper in front of Song Hanzhang’s cold and ascetic face; every time he had such urges, he would solve it himself in the bathroom to an imagined Song Hanzhang. Could such a depressing life be ending tonight?
Lin Jue couldn’t help but laugh. The small Lin Jue beneath his abdomen was also getting excited.
Song Hanzhang’s finger pointed at his collarbones. “From here, the first incision, down to the umbilicus for ease of stitching, and then finally to here.” He hiccuped. “The cranium will need to be sawed open. Pass me the saw.”
He… He was withering away. QAQ
Lin Jue (drunk) x Song Hanzhang
The next morning…
Lin Jue opened his eyes; the ceiling above his head was unfamiliar. He turned his head and saw Song Hanzhang’s sleeping face right next to his.
This must be a dream, Lin Jue said to himself.
His eyes moved downwards, and downwards, and then… stopped.
Calm. He needed to calm down and find a solution. And first, find a time machine.
Song Hanzhang’s brows furrowed as he slowly opened his eyes.
……
……
“Xuezhang, I was wrong! I’ll take all punishment, I- I- I’m sorry… I- I- I will take… I will take responsibility!”
Lin Jue knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, cold sweat dripping from his face.
Song Hanzhang sat on the bed, the lower half of his body covered by a blanket, showing his lean calves as he stared expressionlessly at Lin Jue. After receiving no response for a long time, Lin Jue finally carefully raised his head and took a glance at him.
“What you should be considering now is how we will leave this room,” Song Hanzhang said, pointing at the clothes on the ground which had lost the ability to cover up anything.
“…” Lin Jue looked at the clothes, the corners of his mouth twitching before he looked back up at Song Hanzhang pathetically.
Song Hanzhang grabbed the phone on top of the table and dialed Lu Ren.
“Bring me two sets of clothes.”
From across the phone came Lu Ren’s surprised voice. “It seems something I’ve been looking forward to has finally happened. Did the big rabbit mutate?”
“He got drunk, that’s all.” Song Hanzhang looked down at Lin Jue who was kneeling on the ground in penance. Lin Jue made an appeasing smile but it looked strangely like he was crying.
Hanging up the call, Song Hanzhang sank back into silence. Lin Jue felt like there was a dangerous gaze burning his forehead, at times searing, at times electrocuting. He tried to convince himself that it wasn’t Xuezhang contemplating how to get rid of him. Finally, Lin Jue gathered up his courage and looked up uneasily.
Song Hanzhang sat by the bed and said expressionlessly, “Next time won’t be as simple as knocking you out.”
“Huh?!”
PS: I feel like my moral principles have revived themselves XD… Of course Xuezhang is the type to knock the other one out.
Lin Jue (drunk) x Lu Ren
Wait, wait, what was this sense of novelty?!
In Lin Jue’s twenty years of life, on this day, he finally experienced what it meant by opening one’s eyes the wrong way.
There was a psycho lying naked next to him, grinning.
There must have been something wrong with how he woke up.
Lin Jue closed his eyes decisively.
“If you keep pretending to be asleep I’ll lick you~”
Lin Jue lifted the blanket above his head.
“How heartless, even though you were so passionate about eating me out like this last night, will you pretend nothing happened now that you’re awake?”
W-wait, what did he mean by that? What did he mean by eating him out?!
The blanket was flipped open. Lu Ren looked down at Lin Jue who was pale and on the verge of fainting and pointed at the hickeys on his neck, grinning. “The evidence is here.”
-Mother! Please stuff me back into your stomach! Something wrong must have happened during childbirth!
Lin Jue’s expression of horror had probably entertained Lu Ren. He rolled over with a grin and dialed a number with his phone.
“Song Hanzhang, your pet got drunk last night and ate me out~”
There was about half a minute of silence on the other side of the phone.
“…Good job. And you must be quite courageous yourself to be as shameless as to tell me.”
Lu Ren rolled around the bed. “Ah, why can’t I say? I still have his stuff inside me. Do you want to check?”
Lin Jue: “…”
“Lin Jue, give him a check up. I’ll tell you the exact steps.”
Lin Jue: Mother… Please save me… There’s more than one psycho…
Lu Ren (drunk) x Song Hanzhang (drunk)
“Uncle Lu, I can’t drink anymore.” Song Hanzhang refused the offer of yet another drink from Lu Ren’s father.
“Another bottle, another bottle! It’s so hard to see you these days- my Lu Ren used to play with you so often when you were young but in just a blink of an eye, you’re already so big, haha!” Uncle Lu refilled Song Hanzhang’s cup before turning around to scold Lu Ren. “You’re always such a slacker, look at Hanzhang!”
Lu Ren lazily drank the alcohol and made a noise carelessly.
Finally, the two ran away after having too much to drink. Song Hanzhang’s house was too far away so the two found a nearby hotel and spent the night there.
The next morning…
Lin Jue was woken up by the vibration of his phone and he pressed on the receive button, his brain still in a mush.
“Big rabbit, are you up?
An unusually joyful voice came from the other side of the phone. Lin Jue was instantly awake.
Help, why did the psychopath call him so early in the morning? He didn’t want that kind of wake-up service, he would die from it!
“Please bring two sets of clothes for Song Hanzhang and I to Hotel XX room 419, thank you. We were so fierce last night that our clothes are practically useless now~ That’s all, goodbye!”
“? …… !!!!!!!”
Even though he had prepared himself for the worst, he still had a strong urge to slam the door back when it opened to reveal a half-naked psycho. There must have been something wrong with the way he opened the door.
“Where is Xuezhang?” Lin Jue couldn’t control the corners of his mouth from twitching.
“Ah, he’s still sleeping. Do you wanna look?” Lu Ren asked with a grin.
Forcing down his urges to flee, Lin Jue cautiously walked in.
Song Hanzhang was wrapped tightly in the blankets, looking deep asleep.
There was only one bed, one bed, one bed…
Lin Jue felt his world views shatter once again.
Xuezhang and Lu Ren were in such a relationship, relationship, relationship…
The blankets moved as Song Hanzhang got up on the bed. Seeing Lin Jue standing dumbly by it, he frowned and asked, “Why are you here?”
“…I… came to give you clothes…” he replied faintly.
He realized there was a hickey on Song Hanzhang’s neck. A final blow to his teetering world views.
Lu Ren rolled around lightly on the bed before pushing up his chin. “Darling, how was your sleep?”
“Terrible, I’d rather go sleep in a mortuary,” Song Hanzhang answered in disgust.
Even after they left the hotel, Lin Jue still felt as if he was stepping in cotton, every step soft and shaky.
“What happened to you?” Song Hanzhang frowned at Lin Jue who was obviously not in his element.
“Nothing… I won’t look at Xuezhang in any other way! Even if you went- went to bed with that psycho!” Lin Jue bit down hard and swore.
“…Where did you reach that conclusion?” Song Hanzhang asked with a strange expression.
“Eh? Didn’t Lu Rent tell me to bring you a new set of clothes? He even said that you were so… fierce… that it got ripped.”
“Even though we were both drunk last night, I am certain that nothing happened.”
“But you slept on the same bed!”
“That was the last room in the hotel. We’ve slept together before as kids, is there a problem?”
Lin Jue pointed at his neck in embarrassment. “Here, there’s a mark there.”
Song Hanzhang touched his neck, then calmly walked into a chemist. He held a bottle of soothing lotion when he walked out.
“Now that you mention it, it is a little itchy.” Song Hanzhang applied some ointment over the mosquito bite.
“……”
***
1Alpacas: pronounced ‘cao ni ma’ in Chinese, for ‘grass mud horse’. It’s spelled the same as ‘fuck your mother’, which is the most common swear in China, essentially translating to just ‘fuck’ in English. Lin Jue is freaking out basically.
