Infinite: Dawn Game

"yes,"

Faced with Lu Chusheng's question, Yu Shijiu appeared very confident:

"Sweet tea cakes are so delicious, don't you like them?"

"dislike,"

Lu Chusheng responded directly: "I don't like sweets."

But he can actually make desserts.

This is so contradictory that Lu Chusheng doesn't even know how he ended up learning to make desserts in the first place.

Yu Shijiu's eyes widened instantly: "Why don't you like eating sweets? Sweets are delicious!"

Although he had never eaten it before, he liked it very much after trying it once, and Xuexue also liked it very much. How could anyone not like sweets?

"Personal taste," Lu Chusheng glanced at the surveillance team players who had already entered the pastry shop not far away and said:

"Let's go, we've already wasted too much time."

Yu Shijiu hesitated for a few seconds, glanced back at the pastry shop several times, and then walked away with a sigh.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Yu Shijiu wore a dejected expression the whole way until Lu Chusheng stopped, took out his keys, and started to open the door, at which point he perked up a bit.

Click.

When the door opened, Yu Shijiu followed Lu Chusheng inside. What she saw was a very clean and simple studio apartment.

Almost all the colors are warm-toned, with the walls being a warm, creamy yellow, and the sofas and other furniture in a deeper, warm orange-brown tone, creating a very cozy atmosphere.

This was the first time Yu Shijiu had seen such decorations. He stood by the door, staring at the decorations inside the room, somewhat stunned for the first time.

In the room, Lu Chusheng placed the cake he was holding on the table. After a long while, not hearing any footsteps following him, he turned around and looked back.

"Why don't you come in?"

Yu Shijiu snapped out of her daze. "Oh, I'm here."

He walked into the apartment, which was completely different from the hospital room, his eyes somewhat dazed.

“So beautiful,” Yu Shijiu walked to the sofa and sat down, reaching out to touch the cloud-shaped cushion next to her. It was soft and comfortable.

It feels as comfortable as the fur on a fat person's body.

"Meow--"

Feifei trotted into the living room with elegant steps, and when Yu Shijiu looked over, she jumped forward and sank into the sofa.

Yu Shijiu's gaze suddenly warmed. He lowered his head and hugged Feifei, burying his head in Feifei's back and rubbing against it. Finally, he smiled and looked up at Lu Chusheng, who was still standing by the table.

"Thank you, Captain Lu," he said, looking happily at the bachelor apartment that would be his future home, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

"I love this place so much."

There was no pungent, nauseating smell of disinfectant, no doctors or nurses in white coats, no players coming and going like in a pupa shop, and no need to worry about being woken up by a doctor with a syringe in the middle of the night...

He even has a cat of his own.

This was the "home" that Yu Shijiu had always dreamed of.

Lu Chusheng looked at Yu Shijiu, whose excitement was barely concealed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward:

“If you like it, that’s good.” Lu Chusheng looked up at the ceiling and took out a remote control from the drawer next to him.

"Oh right, this is the window opening button," Lu Chusheng pressed one of the buttons on the remote control in his hand:

"This is a detached apartment. There will be neighbors around, but most players won't care about other people's lives. If you need to, you can open the window and look at the stars."

He added at the end, "The starry sky in town is quite beautiful and worth seeing."

Although it's fake.

Lu Chusheng didn't say the last sentence aloud.

As the remote control was pressed, the warm-colored partition on the ceiling began to vibrate and then slowly moved aside, revealing the bright sunshine outside the room.

Yu Shijiu stood up and walked over. He looked up at the sky outside and stared at it for a long time without blinking.

Beautiful indeed.

It was the kind of "beautiful" that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Lu Chusheng didn't disturb him; he simply looked down and quickly jotted down some notes in his notebook. Yu Shijiu then asked him curiously:

"what are you writing?"

Lu Chusheng's expression was slightly off, but he quickly concealed his emotions and said calmly:

"Some guild-related matters."

"Oh..." Yu Shijiu's intuition told him that the other party was lying, but he didn't want to dwell on it. Rather than worrying about things that might not be related to him, he would rather look at the sky and feel more relaxed.

Seeing that Yu Shijiu didn't press the matter, Lu Chusheng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask why the player who went to buy sweet tea cakes hadn't returned yet, Yu Shijiu, who was engrossed in looking at the sky and the orange cat, suddenly looked up:

"Captain Lu, why aren't you leaving yet?"

He wanted to talk to Fei Fei alone for a while.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

His cheek twitched involuntarily, and he suddenly had the illusion that he was being used and then discarded.

Fine, otherwise I won't give you the sweet tea cake today—

dong dong dong-

The door, which wasn't closed tightly, was knocked on, and the door was pushed back slightly, revealing half of the surveillance team player's face.

The other person coughed, held up the beautifully packaged sweet tea cake in their hand, and whispered:

"Brother Lu, the things have been bought."

Yu Shijiu's gaze was instantly drawn to him. When he saw the familiar packaging bag in the other person's hand, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned his head to look at Lu Chusheng to the side.

Lu Chusheng glanced at him. "You want me to leave?"

Because of the presence of the sweet tea cake, Yu Shijiu instantly changed his attitude and said enthusiastically:

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I meant, Captain Lu, are you very tired? Do you want to go home and rest? Of course, if you want to sleep here, Captain Lu, I, I can,"

Yu Shijiu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I can let you sleep on my sofa."

As for the bedroom, which hadn't been opened yet, he felt he wasn't quite that generous.

Lu Chusheng glanced at Laibao, who was sprawled on the sofa like a cat pancake, and clicked his tongue.

"You're really generous."

Yu Shijiu, far from being ashamed, was actually proud, and nodded slightly with an expression of deep sympathy:

"I think so."

Lu Chusheng was genuinely amused and annoyed. He walked up to Yu Shijiu, suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek, then sneered as the latter feigned pain.

"You little madman, I don't think you want to eat any of these today, whether it's sweet tea cake or cake."

This blatant threat made Yu Shijiu's eyes widen in disbelief. He slapped away Lu Chusheng's hand that was pinching his face, rubbed his cheek, and said:

"Why? Why won't you give me any?!"

Lu Chusheng: "I bought all of these."

Yu Shijiu was speechless for a moment: "...Then you told me yourself that you gave it to me, and, and you even called me a little madman!"

Simply calling someone a madman might trigger their illness, but adding the word "little" before "madman" made Yu Shijiu somewhat dazed.

Little madman.

It seems that someone else has called me that before.

who is it?

Yu Shijiu felt a sharp pain deep in her head, and the figure of a young man in short sleeves and trousers seemed to briefly appear before her eyes; he was slender and tall.
