The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

It was an arm's length away, a little far, and the pair of holding hands fell in the middle, like the dividing line between Chu and Han.

Shi Jinzhe keenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he moved closer, but Sheh moved away again.

"Did I say anything to upset you?" He stretched out his arm, and was pushed back.

Sheh retracted her hand, and her bent legs turned into a snake tail again. She placed both hands on the tail and stared at a certain position.

"Sorry." Shi Jinzhe sat down next to her again, turned his body a little, and tilted his head to look at Shehe: "It's my fault, don't be unhappy."

"No." Sheh's voice was calm, without the usual threat that was intended to scare him. "Don't take all the blame on yourself."

His fingers scratched the scales, and Sheh looked at the scales for a while before focusing his attention back on his hands.

As soon as she opened her palm, another hand came up to clasp it.

"What you're unhappy about is related to what we said. If you don't want to talk about it, can you listen to my thoughts first?" Shi Jinzhe adheres to the principle of solving problems as soon as possible and holds her hand tightly.

"I didn't think much about what he said at first. It might be because of what Li Jin said. I subconsciously wanted to show you his advantages, but what he said later was all my guess. I can't just agree to something I'm not 100% sure of. Some jokes can be taken seriously, so I can't just say it casually."

Seeing that Shehe didn't respond, Shi Jinzhe continued, "Confused accommodation is also perfunctory. Do you want to hear the truth after careful consideration, or a superficial response at the moment?"

"The truth." Shehe answered without hesitation. After looking at Shi Jinzhe carefully, she asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"The truth. Didn't I promise not to lie to you?"

Sheh didn't say anything else, he seemed to be in a daze, thinking about something.

There were a few chaotic images spinning in her mind, and they had never stopped since the moment they appeared.

In my memory, her tail was not as long as that of the little girl in the zoo.

There were insects chirping, birds flying, snakes, forests, and occasionally people, but in most of the pictures, all she saw was the silent night sky and the constantly changing stars.

Shekh raised his hand and touched the ribbon on his eyes, but in his strange memory, it was not there either.

These are all very distant memories.

She didn't say anything, and Shi Jinzhe was a little worried: "Are you okay?"

He reflected on whether he had spoken too formally, causing Shekh to be unable to react.

Sheh took Shi Jinzhe's other hand without saying a word and compared the palm of her hand with his. After observing for a while, she asked, "If we only look at the upper body, are there no differences between us?"

“…Yes.” Shi Jinzhe didn’t understand, but told it truthfully.

"You said before that I must sleep with you. This is wrong in your human world, right?"

“…It’s wrong to have no relationship.”

This answer was somewhat speculative, but Shekh said nothing.

"Are you still angry?" Shi Jinzhe asked softly.

"I'm not angry, you don't have to worry about me not helping you pass the game."

Sheh rarely had such moments. She remembered the promise not to lie to others and sorted out the messy memories in her mind. She told the truth, "I just misunderstood."

"You understand something."

"I originally thought that although the person who proposed to me was a human, you were the first one, so I could think about it carefully. But you are right, it was a joke from someone else and should not be taken seriously."

She still didn't understand enough about humans. What they said always had deep and shallow meanings, and even jokes could be true or false. She was just misinterpreting.

She didn't blame Shi Jinzhe. Those were not what he said in the first place and had nothing to do with him.

Shi Jinzhe was speechless for a while.

Because he always felt that there was more to it than that.

Shehe didn't seem like someone who would be depressed about such things. She didn't care about these things at all.

Their hands were still together. Shi Jinzhe thought about her question and realized that her upper body was indeed no different from that of a human.

What about the snake tail on the lower body?

He suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Sheh. She didn't know how to shake hands, didn't understand other people's curses, never chewed her food, liked to curl up when she slept, and had obvious snake-like nature.

She has a superficial understanding of humans. She can understand common expressions, dress herself, and if her tail is praised, she knows it is a compliment and is easily pleased.

But that was all she knew. She knew about humans, but was quite unfamiliar with them. She knew about snakes, but couldn't understand the mating season in spring.

In fact, she only had a vague understanding of both sides.

Sheh was found by herself in the maze, which was obviously not a suitable place to live, nor was it big enough for a copy world. So where did she live before entering the maze?

A half-human, half-snake creature, what if she is the only special being in the place where she lives?

just in case……

The humans didn't accept her, and the snakes didn't either.

Maybe snakes would be closer to her, but Shekh was also partly human, and not all snakes were like the little black snake on the Azure Island that would be closer to her. Didn't the Gaboon viper in the zoo turn around and run away when it saw her?

She can petrify and corrode things, and she has many secrets. She is an incomprehensible existence in any group.

If this is true, then Sheh...

Never been accepted.

What she lost was not the lack of a mate of the opposite sex, but the fact that there was still no one willing to accept her.

It’s like a rose is handed to you, and you take the flower with joy. But before you can appreciate it in your hand, the petals break off, and only the prickly stem is left in your hand.

It doesn’t hurt, but it’s hard to be happy again.

Shi Jin bent his fingers that were touching hers, held Shehe's hand and put it back in front of him: "I'm sorry."

Sheh turned his head, "Why are you saying sorry again."

"Because I should have told you my thoughts directly at that time, so that others would not lead you into a wrong way of thinking."

Shi Jinzhe couldn't see her eyes, but he knew that they must be looking at each other now. "I'm just a little embarrassed. Sorry."

"I don't mean to blame you. Don't say sorry for something you didn't do wrong."

This is the truth that Sheh figured out on his own. There is nothing wrong with it. I'm sorry if you say it too much, others will really think it's your fault.

Their eyes met, and she could see the sincerity in Shi Jinzhe's eyes. At the same time, she heard him add the word "apology" in her ears.

……

She said don't say sorry.

This person is so troublesome and so frustrating.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Sheh took his hand away, turned his body sideways like Shi Jinzhe, and then stretched out his arms to hold his shoulders, "I'm sorry, don't torture me anymore."

Sorry.

'Feel sorry……

Shi Jinzhe was speechless for a while, then he smiled. It turned out that this was how she understood apology.
