Infinite: Dawn Game

Anjie stared at him with a half-smile.

Xu Han immediately pretended to be very busy and tilted his head, "Hey Shi Jiu, how much should we eat for dinner after Brother Chen finishes cooking? One bowl of rice or two bowls? I think..."

He chattered on and on, and Yu Shijiu, who had recovered somewhat after drinking a cup of hot water, nodded blankly.

"One bowl should be enough for today, my stomach still hurts a little."

"...Just some porridge will do today."

Anjie said helplessly from the side, "You two are the same."

Xu Han and Yu Shijiu: "..."

Xu Han was alright, but Yu Shijiu opened her mouth and whispered, "Then what about the sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce that Brother Chen said he'd make..."

Will he still be able to eat it?

"We'll eat it tomorrow."

Anjie took out a jujube from her pocket and took a bite. "Let's have some porridge tonight to soothe your stomach, especially for you, Shi Jiu."

Yu Shijiu looked bewildered: "Huh?"

Anjie: "Your stomach must be really weak. You usually overeat so much, and this time you ate so much ice cream without restraint..."

She sighed as she said this, "Shi Jiu, listen to Sister An's advice, this is really bad for your health."

“…But,” Yu Shijiu touched her stomach, hesitating, “aren’t I already dead?”

Why would someone who has died still have digestive problems?

Yu Shijiu only realized this after eating the ice cream.

Given that they were all dead, shouldn't he not have had any illnesses or anything like that?

Anjie paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it possible that our current bodies are, in essence, still our original bodies?"

Yu Shijiu: "Then how come you can eat so much, Sister An?"

Speaking of this, Yu Shijiu was a little envious, "I also wish I could eat like this forever."

“…” Ange laughed for real this time. “It’s because of my innate skill that I feel very uncomfortable if I don’t eat.”

Others might feel envious watching her eat... but in reality, the feeling of having a constantly hungry stomach is not pleasant.

For example, right now... Anjie feels like the date she just swallowed is like a bottomless pebble, with no sense of security at all.

"Your talent and skills are quite good."

Anjie reached out and touched Yu Shijiu's head, her voice gentle:

"It would be even better if I could control my state when killing monsters."

Yu Shijiu looked up at her and frowned.

He always felt something was strange when he chatted with Anjie... Even though Anjie seemed very reliable and cheerful, as soon as he got closer, he could always discover the pain and sadness hidden beneath Anjie's skin.

The kind that's very small and very slight.

Yu Shijiu's eyelids drooped, and he replied, "I can control it now."

You could say he's always been able to control himself.

Just like he never intended to actually kill other human players from the very beginning.

"I know."

Anjie took out another date and handed it to Yu Shijiu, "It's quite sweet, have some. You can rest after having a bowl of porridge tonight. By the way..."

She thought for a moment and said, "I sent Shi Pei a can of milk powder."

"Stone pendant?"

Yu Shijiu took the jujube blankly, "Who is Shi Pei?"

"..."

Anjie paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "The woman with the child at the 'Chrysanthemum Shop'."

Yu Shijiu suddenly realized, "Her? Is she still alive?"

“Hmm.” Anjie nodded. She didn’t go into details about how Shi Pei survived in a place like the “Chrysalis Shop,” but simply said:

"She's awesome."

The fact that she can still raise her child under such circumstances shows that she has a very strong mental resilience.

“That’s true,” Yu Shijiu agreed wholeheartedly, his eyes crinkling with a smile. “My mother is also very capable.”

Anjie smiled: "Mothers are all amazing."

Xu Han also raised his hand, "It's true! My mom is amazing!"

"You're so great," Anjie brushed a stray hair back from her forehead, "Once Xu Han feels better, tidy up your room, and let Shi Jiu sleep in your room tonight—"

"I want to go back."

Yu Shijiu suddenly spoke up, "Sister An, I still need to go back tonight."

He said with an embarrassed smile, "I'll be going back once Fei Fei comes back."

Although Anjie and the others are very nice here, Yu Shijiu misses his old room a little.

"it is good."

Anjie glanced at him, then raised an eyelid as if remembering something, "By the way, Shi Jiu, come with me for a moment."

Xu Han, who had just gotten up, collapsed again.

"Xu Han, go tidy up the house."

Anjie led Yu Shijiu towards her room, then turned back and frowned, saying:

"Your room hasn't been cleaned in ages, it's practically covered in mold."

Xu Han: "..."

He mumbled a lot of things, and finally reluctantly went to tidy up the house with a sigh.

He Lingling and Chen Yi, who had been listening in the kitchen for a while, exchanged a glance. He Lingling, peeling garlic curiously, whispered:

"Why did Sister An ask Shi Jiu to go to her room?"

Chen Yi shook his head. "I don't know."

He Lingling said "oh" and didn't pay any attention, continuing to peel garlic.

----------

inside the house.

Anjie closed the door, walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and took out a small box.

Yu Shijiu was looking around An Jie's room.

Anjie's room was very clean, and also... simple.

Besides the bed and cabinets, there were a few stools and sofas that looked like they came with the bed, and only some books that looked like they had been read for a long time.

Yu Shijiu noticed that the books were all curled at the edges, clearly indicating they had been frequently handled and read by their owner.

"Sit anywhere."

Anjie smiled as she held the small box in her hand. "Lu Chusheng brought this over and asked me to give it to you."

Yu Shijiu paused, glancing around at the surrounding gazes, then looked up at the box in An Jie's hand.

"It's a pretty useful tool."

Anjie sighed as she said this, "Although I promised Lu Chusheng I wouldn't tell you that he was the one who gave me this prop."

Yu Shijiu: "?"

Not going to tell?

What did Lu Chusheng say?

why?

"why?"

Yu Shijiu also asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why didn't Lu Chusheng let you tell me?"

"Who knows."

Anjie shrugged and handed the box to Yu Shijiu. "I wonder what he's thinking."

Yu Shijiu silently took the box and opened it, and immediately saw a bracelet covered with round red cinnabar beads.

Very beautiful color.

Yu Shijiu looked up, "But Sister An, you told me."

Anjie raised an eyebrow, and instead of explaining, laughed and said:

"Try wearing it and see if it fits."

Yu Shijiu felt he should refuse, but for some reason he still took out the cinnabar bracelet—his hand suddenly froze the moment he touched it.

"A very good prop."

Anjie's voice came into my ears, "Because it is too valuable, after thinking it over and over, I finally decided to tell you who its original owner was."

"Lu Chusheng is a good person; he might really like you."

Anjie said, "As a teammate who will be carrying my load in the future, I think I should let you know."
