Infinite: Dawn Game

"what happened to you?"

Lu Chusheng caught Yu Shijiu, who nearly fell, a hint of worry on his face. Thinking back to their conversation, even though he didn't understand it, he hesitated for a few seconds before saying:

"Did you faint from hunger?"

Yu Shijiu, whose headache had subsided, and the monitoring team player holding up a sweet tea cake by the door: "..."

Brother Lu, do you want to hear what you're saying?!

Yu Shijiu grabbed Lu Chusheng's arm and nodded weakly:

"A bit, I haven't eaten in a long time."

Lu Chusheng: "...Then wait for me for a few minutes. Can you go sit over there by yourself?"

Yu Shijiu nodded again: "Okay, okay, Feifei can help me over there."

As he spoke, Fatty, who had been sprawled on the sofa, shook his head and ran over to let Yu Shijiu support him, then swayed and walked towards the sofa.

Lu Chusheng walked to the door, took the sweet tea cake, and whispered a few words to the monitoring team player. The latter nodded with a twitching smile, then turned and left.

When Lu Chusheng turned around again, he heard the sound of a plastic box being torn open.

The cake that was originally on the dining table was somehow placed on the sofa by Lai Bao carrying it on his back. Yu Shijiu, who was just a second ago saying that he was starving, was taking apart the plastic box with agile and quick movements. Lai Bao next to him put his head on Yu Shijiu's lap, his green eyes staring straight at the cake.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He closed his eyes and inexplicably had the illusion that he had raised another pet... no, it should be a child.

"Don't eat too much cake when we eat later."

That being said, Lu Chusheng didn't actually mean to preach.

Just as he was about to go check the kitchen, he noticed that some of the fabric on Yu Shijiu's clothes seemed to be sticking to her body—

Lu Chusheng frowned, quickly walked to the sofa, bent down, and touched Yu Shijiu's back as Yu Shijiu began to cut the cake.

The boy's back was as thin as a rake; you could barely feel any flesh when you touched it. The jagged bones stood out, hard and unyielding, which was somewhat irritating.

But Lu Chusheng didn't care about that now. He removed his hand, and the bright red blood on his palm made him instinctively close his eyes. Then he said in a deep voice:

"You didn't drink the recovery potion."

Yu Shijiu was wearing black the whole time, and he didn't even notice that the other person's injuries hadn't healed from the beginning until now.

Yu Shijiu, who had already cut the cake, looked up, stuffed a mouthful of cream into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Oh, that? I forgot. It wasn't Fatty back then, no, I was just too happy and forgot... Besides, I can't afford recovery potions anymore..."

Lu Chusheng closed his eyes, exchanged two bottles of recovery potion from the system, and handed them to Yu Shijiu, his tone suddenly turning cold:

"Drinked."

Yu Shijiu glanced at him, didn't take it, and just continued eating her cake, completely ignoring Lu Chusheng.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

"Are you out of your mind?" Lu Chusheng reached out and pulled at Yu Shijiu's clothes from behind. With a forceful pull, the sound of tearing fabric echoed in the room.

Yu Shijiu's clothes were torn down to his shoulder.

Yu Shijiu stopped eating the cake, and the chubby guy who had been resting his head on his knee looked up as if he was startled, his eyes staring intently at Lu Chusheng, who was clearly frozen in place.

Lu Chusheng was still holding a long strip of black cloth in his hand.

Yu Shijiu turned her head to look at him, her amber eyes revealing a flicker of emotion, as if she were curious:

"What does Captain Lu mean by this?" He tilted his head slightly, his tone ambiguous.

Is this some kind of indecent behavior?

Lu Chusheng gripped the fabric in his hand, his Adam's apple bobbing. As he hastily averted his gaze, his voice was strangely hoarse.

"No, I just—"

The embarrassment of tearing the other person's clothes disappeared when Lu Chusheng saw the wound on Yu Shijiu's back.

Yu Shijiu's skin was very white, and her waist was very thin. Just like the feeling when you touch it, the bones on her back were clearly visible. Blood was still flowing out from the torn part of her clothes. The bloodstains covered several shocking wounds. The white flesh was turned to the sides, revealing bright red blood.

Because she was so thin, the wounds looked even more shocking. It was at this moment that Lu Chusheng finally understood why Yu Shijiu's face was so pale.

If the back is like this, then what about the wound on the chest?

Lu Chusheng pursed his lips.

"Drink up," Lu Chusheng felt a pang of sadness deep in his heart. He felt as if he had seen such a scene before, but he had no memory of it.

Lu Chusheng looked at Yu Shijiu's back, then got up and went to the bathroom to get a towel.

"You don't have to pay it back."

This time, Yu Shijiu didn't refuse. He looked at the recovery potion beside him and whispered to the chubby guy who had raised his head:

“He’s so strange,” Yu Shijiu said, looking down. “I don’t like it when people talk to me like that, no one.”

Lu Chusheng was naturally among these people.

Although Lu Chusheng gave him a strange feeling, and he didn't even dislike him, Yu Shijiu didn't feel that he should tolerate him more, even though the other party seemed to genuinely care about him.

But in this world, is it really possible for someone to be kind to another person for no reason at all? Even if they are just strangers who have only met twice.

Yu Shijiu didn't believe it.

He ignored the strange feeling in his heart, as if he were talking to Fei Fei, or as if he were talking to himself.

“He just wanted me to join the inspection team, and I knew what he was thinking.”

They only treat themselves "well" because they have something in mind.

Yu Shijiu felt that he understood everything perfectly.

Since you need something from him, why not take something that's free and doesn't require any responsibility? He's not stupid.

Yu Shijiu thought for a moment, then reached for the recovery potion next to him, unscrewed it, and drank it all down.

Fatty, standing beside him, looked at him with a hint of sadness in its deep green, jewel-like eyes. It could only nuzzle its head against Yu Shijiu's knee and meow softly a few times.

Cats can't speak and can't accurately express what humans can understand, which is also very sad for Fatty (Laibao).

--------

In the bathroom.

Lu Chusheng took a towel and washed it by the sink.

He admitted that he was a little angry just now, but he didn't know what he was angry about... It seemed that he was very angry about Yu Shijiu's attitude of not caring about his body at all, which made him feel uncontrollably palpitations and suffocation.

Ultimately, neither he nor Yu Shijiu could be considered complete strangers who had only met twice. In fact, to Yu Shijiu, he might just be a guild player who would stop at nothing to get him to join the inspection team...

So why am I so concerned about a boy I've only met twice?

Lu Chusheng looked at himself in the mirror, his hand holding the towel gradually tightening.

After a while, the sound of running water washing towels came from the bathroom again.
