The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Gu Zhun, who was standing by, witnessed this scene. His lips pursed slightly, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

He turned around politely, walked away quietly with light steps, leaving this space to the two people hugging each other tightly, as if he wanted to retain his last dignity with this silent exit.

Li Chen and Wen Rou were so immersed in the joy of reunion that they didn't notice Gu Zhun's departure at all. They hugged each other tightly, their arms so tight that their knuckles turned white, as if they wanted to vent all the longing they had accumulated during this period through this hug.

"Rou Rou, I'm sorry." Li Chen's voice was hoarse, with a mixture of relief and fear at having survived. Just now, he thought he would lose Wen Rou forever. He never wanted to experience that heart-wrenching pain again in his life.

Wenrou raised her head and gazed deeply at Li Chen. She knew in her heart that as long as Li Chen was still the protagonist of this so-called game, a similar crisis might happen again.

But she was not afraid. She just wanted to stay by Li Chen's side and face all the unknowns with him.

Wenrou gently shook her head, raised her slender white fingers, and gently covered Li Chen's lips. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "It's okay, but if, if you forget me again next time, Li Chen, I will never forgive you again."

Li Chen looked back at Wenrou, his eyes firm and fiery, and said softly as if promising: "This will be the last time I forget you."

====================================================================== ================

At this moment of intense affection, a strange voice suddenly rang out: "It seems that my guess was correct."

Li Chen and Wenrou were startled and looked up in the direction of the sound. They saw a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask standing in the shadows on the side of the road.

Li Chen reacted extremely quickly, instantly protecting Wenrou behind him. He looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared with vigilance and asked in a stern voice, "Who are you?"

The man slowly raised his head and looked straight at Li Chen: "You don't know me, but I know you, the number one male protagonist in the game."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chen and Wenrou were stunned. Li Chen frowned, as if he was quickly sorting out the clues in his mind. Then, as if suddenly understanding, he asked, "Are you the one who left me the note?"

The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and nodded: "Ding Dong, correct answer, it's me."

"Are you also a target?" Li Chen immediately asked the second question.

The man didn't hide anything and nodded decisively, "You guessed right. Time is running out, so I won't beat around the bush. As you know, this world is a game world. Besides you and me, there are three other male protagonists. However, those three people don't know they are in the game yet."

"So, you've awakened too." Li Chen looked at the man, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and spoke with conviction. The fact that someone else had also awakened in this seemingly unsolvable predicament seemed to give Li Chen a glimmer of hope.

The man nodded, looked at Li Chen deeply, and explained, "In fact, I awakened because of you. I don't know why you awakened, but I suddenly awakened after I met you by chance."

"So that's why you found me, gave me that note, and asked me to help the other three awaken?" Li Chen asked.

The man hummed softly, "Yes, but those are just my guesses. You should have noticed that this world doesn't want us to awaken. It just wants us to continue playing the game. So I guess that as long as all the captured people awaken and stop playing the game, the game will naturally collapse."

"But if the game crashes, will this world still exist?" Wenrou, who had been quietly hiding behind Li Chen, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the man turned to look at Wenrou. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I don't know, but it's better than it is now. You don't think that if this game still exists, you can still be together, right?"

Li Chen and Wenrou looked at each other. The man's words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.

If the game continues, both Wenrou and Li Chen are likely to be manipulated by the game again. The feelings between them may not be able to withstand the string of codes in the game program and may be rewritten at any time.

"Then what should we do?" Li Chen clenched his fists and looked at the man with determination in his eyes. "Now that I've awakened, I don't want to be controlled by this game anymore."

The man stepped out of the shadows, took off his cap and mask, revealing a slightly tired but very handsome face. "My name is Chu Ci. We need to find the other three male protagonists and awaken their consciousness. I already have some clues. One of the male protagonists seems to have doubts about certain rules of this world. We can start with him."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to successfully find the other three and help them awaken, Chu Ci brought Li Chen and Wen Rou to a secluded place.

As layer upon layer of locks were opened, a secret base hidden underground appeared before their eyes.

As you step into the bunker, you are greeted by an old yet technological atmosphere.

Strange indicator lights flickered on the walls, dimly swaying in the air. As Li Chen's gaze swept across the posters on the surrounding walls, and then looked at Chu Ci, who was taking off his disguise beside him, a name popped up in his mind.

"Are you Chu Yanci? The celebrity our company hired as its spokesperson?" Li Chen asked in disbelief, his face filled with shock and his eyes wide open.

Chu Yanci's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile. He reached out and patted Li Chen's shoulder, saying, "Yes, that's my stage name. It's really strange to say, I happened to meet you when I went to your company to endorse it, and then I woke up. I haven't thanked you properly yet. At that time, I was almost forced by the game plot to devote myself to a woman I didn't like."

Wenrou looked at Chu Yanci curiously, then looked at everything around her, her heart full of doubts: "What's going on in this bunker? Are there any clues here that can help us find the other male protagonists?"
