Saving the male protagonist in the dungeon only resulted in him becoming cannon fodder.

Seeing the two acting so intimately, Huang Peipei couldn't help but tease, "See? It really does take a rival to create a strong sense of crisis!" Lu Ze, however, clung tightly to Bai Mengmeng like a child, saying in a spoiled manner, "Hehe, I just want her to always have only me by her side!"

Huang Peipei and Xu Zhou couldn't stand it any longer and shouted in unison, "Hey, can you two tone it down a bit? This constant display of affection is blinding us!"

Unable to resist Lu Ze's persistent pestering, Bai Mengmeng had no choice but to use all her strength to forcefully pull her hand away from his arm, feigning anger as she scolded, "Please, can't you eat in peace? This is seriously affecting my appetite!"

Lu Ze, however, didn't seem to mind and replied with a grin, "Hehe, it's okay, baby. If it's inconvenient for you to do it yourself, I can feed you myself~"

Bai Mengmeng's lips curled up slightly, forming a chilling, deathly smile. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Ze, who was wolfing down his food, and she said coquettishly, "Lu Ze, can't you eat properly? You're like a starving ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze quickly put down his chopsticks and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll eat right away. Don't be so fierce, my little heart can't take it." After saying that, he didn't forget to throw Bai Mengmeng a flattering wink.

Seeing this, Huang Peipei's eyes widened in shock, and she screamed in horror, "Oh my god, you two are living together! This is moving too fast!" Bai Mengmeng blushed instantly upon hearing this, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment and said to Bai Mengmeng with feigned composure, "Alright, finish your meal and we'll go home."

Lu Ze was already somewhat drunk, and his steps were slightly unsteady. Seeing this, Bai Mengmeng quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked with a hint of suspicion, "Tell me, you're not pretending to be drunk, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze immediately shook his head and defended himself: "No way, it really wasn't intentional. The wine was just too strong. You know how little I can drink..."

As they spoke, the two arrived at their front door. Bai Mengmeng skillfully took out her keys, opened the door, and pressed the light switch, instantly illuminating the interior. However, before she could even take off her shoes, Lu Ze slammed the door shut behind her with a loud bang. Bai Mengmeng couldn't help but complain, "You're quite eager to close the door!"

Lu Ze, however, didn't take it to heart. Instead, he grinned and moved closer to Bai Mengmeng's beautiful face, which was as delicate as a lotus emerging from water. He whispered, "You're so cute. I can't help but want to kiss you." Before he finished speaking, he took advantage of Bai Mengmeng's lack of awareness and quickly kissed her pink cheek.

Bai Mengmeng was startled by this sudden action. After realizing what had happened, she angrily flung Lu Ze onto the living room sofa. Lu Ze lay sprawled on the sofa, muttering, "Oh, I really didn't mean to take advantage of you, I just couldn't help myself..."

Bai Mengmeng glared at him fiercely, turned and walked into the bedroom, quickly taking off the clothes that smelled slightly of alcohol. Then, she brought a glass of warm water from the kitchen, walked to the sofa and handed it to Lu Ze, saying irritably, "Get up and drink some water right now, and go change your pajamas. Look at the awful smell you have!"

Lu Ze said in a childlike, coquettish tone, "Mengmeng, if I hadn't participated in that instance with you, maybe we wouldn't be together like this now!"

Bai Mengmeng smiled slightly and replied gently, "There is a destiny in the universe. Since we can walk hand in hand, it is a rare fate."

Lu Ze stared at Bai Mengmeng, his gaze somewhat unfocused, and pleaded softly, "Mengmeng, could you please stop this research you're currently conducting? No matter how much loss it causes, I'll bear it all, okay?"

Bai Mengmeng gently shook her head and answered firmly, "This is not a simple investment project; it carries my dreams and aspirations. Moreover, I personally wrote the outline of this program, and I have poured so much of my effort into it, so I absolutely cannot give up easily."

Lu Ze looked at Bai Mengmeng with pity and said worriedly, "But I'm really afraid that something unexpected might happen during this experiment!"

Bai Mengmeng patted his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have full confidence in the 'Dreamwalking Dungeon' project."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ze couldn't help but hug Bai Mengmeng tightly. Under the dim light, the two were like an intimate couple, embracing each other as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Meanwhile, the hospital outside was still bustling with people and incredibly noisy. Bai Mengmeng, however, sat quietly on a bench, anxiously awaiting the experiment results. Her heart pounded like a drum, and her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

Finally, when the nurse handed her the crucial report, Bai Mengmeng was at a loss for words to describe her feelings.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze slowly woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously reached out to touch the person beside him, only to find that there was no one there. Still half asleep, he glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already noon!

Lu Ze sat up abruptly, hurriedly put on his clothes, and then rushed towards the hospital with great anxiety.

Bai Mengmeng sat quietly in the slightly worn chair, like a still sculpture. Her head was lowered, and she seemed shrouded in a thick gloom, appearing extremely frustrated and depressed.

Lu Ze silently observed her dejected appearance, already understanding the general situation. He slowly took steps, walking towards Bai Mengmeng step by step. With each step closer, his heart grew heavier.

Finally, he reached Bai Mengmeng's side, gently stretched out his arms, and softly embraced her. He said in a tone full of concern and tenderness, "No matter what happens, no matter what difficulties and obstacles await us ahead, I will always be by your side, never leaving you."

Hearing Lu Ze's heartfelt words, Bai Mengmeng slightly raised her head, a hint of despair and helplessness in her eyes. She bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "I...I went to see a psychiatrist today. After a series of tests, the doctor diagnosed me with possible schizophrenia." After saying this, she seemed to have used all her strength, her body involuntarily leaning against Lu Ze's chest.
