Infinite: Dawn Game

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much! Why does my head hurt so much?"

"...Waaaaah, Brother Chen, could you please get me some ice? My head really hurts so much, waaaaah..."

"It's just a bump, Xu Han, you're so delicate..."

"Get lost, He Lingling! Don't talk like that without knowing the consequences!!!"

"..."

Yu Shijiu woke up in this noisy environment.

He blinked, the intense headache making him uncontrollably dizzy, and he sank deeper into the soft pillow beneath him—

Pillow?

Yu Shijiu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, causing the thin blanket covering him to fall to one side in disarray.

He looked down at the spot where he was lying, somewhat bewildered.

...Was I lying in bed before entering the game instance?

How could he remember it not being—

"Ahhh, look, look, look!"

From the sofa not far away came Xu Han's scream, "Look, Shi Jiu has been woken up! It's all your fault!!!"

He Lingling scoffed, "Blame me? How dare you say that, Xu Han? Listen to how loud you're talking right now!"

Xu Han immediately covered his ears, muttering "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it" as he quickly ran towards the bed.

"Shi Jiu!"

Xu Han rushed over and knelt down beside the bed, grabbing Yu Shijiu's hand and sobbing softly.

"Look at her! Look at He Lingling, all she knows is bullying honest people! I'm really angry!!!"

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He looked down at the large bump on Xu Han's forehead, and his memories of the game slowly became clear.

The bump on Xu Han's head looks like he tripped and fell before opening the door... So he accidentally hit his head?

Yu Shijiu was silent for a few seconds, then quietly patted Xu Han's arm, "Then I'll go get you some ice?"

Xu Han quickly looked up, his swollen eyes narrowed into slits. He grabbed Yu Shijiu's hand and shouted, "That's what friends are like!" Then he turned back and rolled his eyes at He Lingling, who was walking over.

"See? Some people should learn from Shi Jiu's excellent character and stop being so sharp-tongued and unlikable—Oops! Why did you hit me?!"

"Shut up, you."

He Lingling threw the ice she had just brought at Xu Han, and said coldly:

"What's wrong with saying a few words to you? What did I say wrong? If you're not smart, you need to be scolded more often to learn your lesson!"

After saying that, He Lingling handed the popsicle she had just taken out of the refrigerator to Yu Shijiu.

"Here you go, but I suggest you get out of bed to eat it."

He Lingling said, "If water accidentally drips onto the sheets, it's a bit difficult to wash off."

She laughed after saying that, "It's okay, it's not your bed anyway."

This is Xu Han's bed.

Xu Han touched the cool ice cube in his arms and didn't mind He Lingling's veiled provocation. He put the ice cube on his head and made some unintelligible noises.

Then He Lingling kicked him lightly.

Yu Shijiu lowered his eyelids on the bed, stared at the cold popsicle wrapper in his hand, and shook his head slightly.

"I'd better come down and eat."

He said somewhat shyly, "Washing bed sheets is a lot of trouble."

He Lingling laughed, "It's okay, you don't need to wash it."

“…” Yu Shijiu laughed, “That’s not really a good idea either.”

The two were chatting happily, but Xu Han was quite annoyed.

Xu Han applied ice to his head as he watched Yu Shijiu get out of bed. "Shijiu, why did you come out so late this time?"

He said with lingering fear, "That was terrifying! When Chen and I woke up, we found you lying on the sofa having a seizure—"

"Shut up, you."

He Lingling couldn't help but interrupt Xu Han's increasingly outrageous words and looked at Yu Shijiu to explain the specific situation at the time.

"It's trembling."

He Lingling frowned and said, "After we all woke up, we saw you lying on the sofa trembling, the kind of trembling that gets faster and faster as you tremble. If Sister An hadn't come over to check and said you were fine and told us to carry you to the bed, Xu Han would have wanted to use his innate skill."

It's best not to use your talent skills in towns.

This is one of the reasons why most players in the town can remain calm and composed.

Everyone goes out to chat, buy things, and rent houses in an ordinary way... This gives them the illusion that they are still in a harmonious society.

Although it's just wishful thinking, it at least offers some comfort to most people.

"Sister An said that you were deliberately kept in the final part of the dungeon for a while at the end, is that true?"

After He Lingling finished speaking, she looked at Yu Shijiu's pale face and hesitated:

"Actually, it's best not to linger too long after the dungeon ends, as it's not good for our health."

Yu Shijiu nodded in agreement.

"I know."

He smiled, bent down to unwrap the popsicle, licked the sweet popsicle, and said with a smile:

"I was just curious this time, and I'll be back soon."

Xiao Li in Yu Shijiu's mind sneered: "Come on, you're just a crazy person who doesn't care about the consequences."

Yu Shijiu ignored him, took a bite of the popsicle, and hissed as his teeth ached from the cold.

He Lingling nodded, though it was unclear whether she believed his casual remark.

"That's good," He Lingling stood up. "I'll go out and help Brother Chen and the others first. It's still early for dinner. Shi Jiu, you just woke up and your complexion is still so bad. You can sleep for a while after you finish eating."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Han, who was grimacing and had a bandage on his head, and said, "If you want to sleep, you should sleep for a while. Maybe your headache will be gone when you wake up."

Xu Han snorted, "Are you kidding me? Do you even look that stupid?"

He Lingling smiled enigmatically, "Quite a bit."

Xu Han: "..."

He stood up angrily, "He Lingling!"

He Lingling opened the door and went out.

"..."

The room was quiet for a few minutes. Yu Shijiu, biting into an ice pop, looked around and asked in confusion:

"Where's Feifei? It used to stay by my side and wait for me to wake up."

Where did they go this time?

"Feifei has gone out."

Xu Han rubbed his throbbing head with ice and said upon hearing this:

"It seemed to be in a hurry. As soon as it saw that you weren't acting strangely—no, I mean, not shaking—it rushed out while meowing. I don't know why."

"Excuse me, Shi Jiu?"

Xu Han still felt a little guilty when she said this:

"I couldn't hold it back, you know that... I'm actually pretty weak... I really couldn't hold onto Fatty's big body..."

“…” Yu Shijiu listened in a daze, but she wasn’t angry or anything, she just nodded.

"It's okay, Feifei must have gone out for something, it's very smart."

Yu Shijiu probably knew what Feifei had gone out to do.

Feifei must have gone to find Lu Chusheng... I wonder what Feifei wants to do with Lu Chusheng. Does Feifei still think Lu Chusheng is its "master"?

I am clearly the one who is right.
