Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 492 The Second Day, The End

"Really?"

Yu Shijiu quickly asked:

"Brother Chen, how did you get yourself into this state? Did you eat an exceptionally large amount of delicious food?"

"You actually believed that, haha."

Chen Yi burst into laughter at Yu Shijiu's reaction.

"I'm not as thin as you. I'm a bit chubby, maybe a little thinner than Xiaohan. I'd say I'm thin for a normal person, but I don't look malnourished like you do."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu's eyes widened. "Do I look malnourished?"

"It's alright," Chen Yi reassured him, "You've gained a lot of weight now, unlike how thin you were at the beginning."

"..." Yu Shijiu was silent for a few seconds, then asked again, "So I looked malnourished before?"

Chen Yi: "..."

Chen Yi started sweating again, licked his lips, and said:

Yes, a little bit.

Lu Chusheng, who was squatting at Yu Shijiu's feet, silently looked up at Yu Shijiu, then slowly lowered his eyelids again.

— Chen Yi is right. When Yu Shijiu first entered the Dawn Game, he did indeed look malnourished.

"Oh."

Yu Shijiu, who expected Yu Shijiu to be angry, simply replied indifferently, "I think so too."

"..."

Chen Yi and Lu Chusheng, who never expected to hear these words, froze on the spot.

"We didn't get to eat anything good before."

Yu Shijiu shrugged and laughed, "That's why I didn't grow very tall."

"...Shi Jiu".

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to say something, but Yu Shijiu raised her hand to stop him.

"fine."

Yu Shijiu said, "The past is the past, and things are not the past now."

Yu Shijiu really thought so.

He was indeed very sad in the sanatorium... but those days are now very far removed from his life.

Perhaps he still feels sad in his dreams at night, but he won't feel as miserable every day as he used to.

Yes, it's just uncomfortable.

Oh, that "uncomfort" that had always been tormenting him also disappeared when Liang Guodong's head rolled.

Yu Shijiu subconsciously touched his chest and chuckled again:

"Brother Chen, after tomorrow, I want to eat your strawberry mille-crepe cake. Last time, Xu Han and Sister Lingling ate most of the one you made."

Yu Shijiu still felt a little aggrieved when she talked about this.

He only went to find Feifei for a few minutes, and when he came back, he found Xu Han sitting in front of the sofa, holding a cake, and He Lingling watching the live broadcast and eating more than half of it.

Yu Shijiu was shocked at the time.

"Of course," Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had been genuinely worried that Yu Shijiu would be upset, so he quickly replied.

"Is one enough? If not, two or three will do."

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have two."

He added, "Give Fatty one too."

Suddenly being mentioned, "Fatty" looked up at Yu Shijiu again and silently rubbed his head against Yu Shijiu's knee.

Captain Lu, who continued rubbing his legs against the cat, acted as if he were just an ordinary orange cat.

"it is good."

Chen Yi nodded in agreement, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"..."

The night passed relatively quickly—quite quickly for Yu Shijiu and the others.

After all, they could easily use props to block out the endless stream of strange things in the hotel, and take turns resting against the wall.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the corridor through the window at the end of the corridor, the monsters that were frantically tearing each other apart just a second ago suddenly stopped in their tracks. Then, their figures faded and faded in the sunlight... finally disappearing into a hazy gray dust.

Yu Shijiu, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, blinked slowly, yawned, and then got up and stretched.

"The weather is great."

Yu Shijiu squinted at the sunlit window at the end of the corridor and walked over.

Fatty, who had also stood up and yawned, followed behind him.

Then—Fatty started meowing frantically several times.

The cat's meows were unusually clear in the corridor, waking up Chen Yi, who was already a light sleeper.

The first thing Chen Yi saw when he opened his eyes was Yu Shijiu walking towards the window. He opened his mouth to speak, but then fell silent after seeing Yu Shijiu and the big orange cat chasing after him.

"...Go back and rest early."

Chen Yi stood up, stomped his sore and numb legs, and limped towards the elevator.

Yu Shijiu, who was almost at the window, turned his back, waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"Okay! Brother Chen, you should rest for a while too. I'll come find you at noon."

Chen Yi nodded helplessly: "Okay, don't go alone."

Only Yu Shijiu and Chen Yi knew the hidden meaning in those words.

Seeing Yu Shijiu walk to the window and turn around to wink, Chen Yi felt relieved and stepped into the open elevator to go to the third floor.

"..."

The fourth floor was completely quiet.

Yu Shijiu's smile gradually faded. He turned back to look at the slowly rising sunlight outside the window, squinted, and slowly closed his eyelids.

The warm sunlight felt wonderful on my eyelids, especially after a cold night. Yu Shijiu felt that the pain and soreness in her body had been relieved a lot under the sunlight.

No wonder all the intern nurses said that sunbathing is good.

Yu Shijiu thought lazily, bathed in the morning sunlight.

Yu Shijiu used to enjoy sunbathing—because he had overheard a doctor say that sunbathing helps you grow taller.

In order to grow taller, Yu Shijiu would often lean on the windowsill to let the limited sunlight shine on him.

Unfortunately, he did not grow taller as a result.

"Feifei, do you know?"

Yu Shijiu opened her eyes and whispered:

"At first I thought the doctor was lying."

"But later I found out he was gone."

Fatty peeked out and rubbed its head between Yu Shijiu's legs, meowing softly.

It made several sounds.

"Sunbathing can really make you grow taller."

Yu Shijiu's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as he smiled. He looked down and patted the chubby head, saying with a laugh:

"Alright, alright, we should go back and rest. We have things to do at noon..."

"Meow!"

Fatty called out again.

"Tsk tsk," Yu Shijiu slapped the fat cat's head away and complained:

"Why are you talking more today? Were you tired yesterday and that's why you were so quiet all of a sudden?"

Feifei barked several more times, clearly dissatisfied.

—No, it wasn't meow! Yesterday it wasn't meow! It was Lu Chusheng meow!

"As expected, he's turned into a chatterbox cat again."

Yu Shijiu gave the definition.

Fatty: "...Meow meow meow meow meow!!!"

"..."

In a room in the town inspection team building.

Lu Chusheng slowly opened his eyes, his dark green pupils gleaming with an eerie, beastly light in the darkness, cold and indifferent.

It took a long while for Lu Chusheng's eyes to fully return to normal.

"..."

Lu Chusheng, now back to normal, stared at the screen still playing the live stream, and slowly, slowly lowered his head to cover his face with his hands.

...That really is embarrassing.
