Chapter 653 Fatal Game 2 16
She hesitated for only a moment before deciding to leave the comfortable bed and go out to take a look.
When Ling Jiushi finished showering and went downstairs, he saw someone sitting on the kitchen floor.
He walked up to her and saw it was Yi Manman: "Manman, what are you doing?"
Yi Manman turned around when she heard the sound, still holding a large piece of raw meat in her hands and gnawing on it.
His eyes were terrifying. Ling Jiushi was so frightened that she took a few steps back, pointing tremblingly at the meat in his hand: "That meat is still raw."
Yi Manman came to her senses and began to explain to him, while trying to get closer to Ling Jiushi, and staring at him with a strange look in her eyes.
Ling Jiushi was still comforting him when, just as Yi Manman was about to throw herself at him, Chen Fei's voice came: "What's wrong?"
He turned on the light as he spoke, only to realize that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange.
After figuring out the situation, Chen Fei calmly fried a steak for Yi Manman.
Yi Manman looked at the steak and was about to grab it with her hands when Chen Fei suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Go get a knife and fork!"
Both of them were startled by Ling Jiushi's voice, and Yi Manman hurriedly grabbed a knife and fork.
Hu Ji watched the whole thing from upstairs. When she saw Yi Manman finish eating and prepare to go back upstairs, she turned around and planned to go back to her room.
As she passed Ruan Lanzhu's room, she paused for a moment, but still went over and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Ruan Lanzhu's voice came through the door.
Hu Ji pushed open the door and went in, and saw him standing in front of the window with his back to the door, seemingly lost in thought.
She closed the door and walked over, also looking out the window: "What are you thinking about?"
"There's thunder outside; it might rain later."
"Something came up downstairs just now, unfortunately you didn't see it."
"What is it?" Ruan Lanzhu turned around in confusion.
He then noticed that she was only wearing a short white shirt, revealing her legs: "You came downstairs dressed like this?"
Hu Ji sat down on the sofa and curled her lips into a smile: "No, I didn't go down."
Then, she briefly explained to him what she had just witnessed.
"I understand, I'll handle this." Ruan Lanzhu frowned.
Hu Ji warned, "Yi Manman's gaze towards Ling Jiushi was very strange, like she wanted to devour him. I saw it very clearly. If Chen Fei hadn't suddenly appeared, he really would have pounced on her."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I will send him to receive treatment."
"Yes, I'm going back." After explaining the purpose of her visit, Hu Ji stood up to leave.
"Wait, you can rest here with me tonight."
Hu Ji turned to look at him and joked, "You don't seem to be in a good mood. Are you still thinking about that kind of thing?"
"No, I was just sleeping," Ruan Lanzhu explained.
"Are you afraid to sleep alone?"
“Although I’m not scared, you can pretend I am.” Ruan Lanzhu pulled her to the bed and lay down, genuinely just holding her as they slept.
"It sounds a bit strange how you put it," Hu Ji chuckled.
She knew what Ruan Lanzhu was thinking; with each door he passed, he felt that parting was getting closer and closer.
Also, he should be talking to Ling Jiushi about the purification game soon.
"It's alright, go to sleep." Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, Ruan Lanzhu felt drowsy.
Hu Ji closed her eyes. She wasn't actually sleepy, but she sensed that he seemed a little sleepy.
After Ruan Lanzhu fell asleep, she removed the hand from her waist, sat up, took out her phone, and turned off the sound to play games.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Qi asked, "Host, Yi Manman, aren't you going to help?"
"He has psychological problems, how can I help him? Everything will be fine once the story ends."
"That's true, a few more doors will be ready soon."
"Hmm." Hu Ji didn't say anything more, focusing all her attention on the screen.
By the time she went to sleep, it was already past 3 a.m.
But she hadn't slept for more than a few hours when Ruan Lanzhu woke her up again. Somewhat helplessly, she kicked him out with her eyes closed.
Because she hadn't exerted much effort and was tired, her ankle was grabbed by a hand, while the person on top of her continued to cause trouble.
Ruan Lanzhu leaned down and kissed her: "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. It's your fault for not sleeping in the middle of the night."
"Ruan Lanzhu, you're so annoying, you're so noisy."
"I don't dislike you; you should like me."
Hu Ji was too sleepy to talk to him or open her eyes, so she just let him go.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Ji woke up because she was hungry. She was about to take a shower when she realized that she was already dry and had showered.
He decided to go downstairs to find something to eat. As he opened the door, he saw Ling Jiushi coming out of his room.
He pointed to the door behind her, a look of surprise followed by an understanding smile.
"You two? You and Ruan Lanzhu? Are you really together?"
Hu Ji smiled and shook her head: "No, if you're curious, you should ask him."
Ling Jiushi wasn't a talkative person, and he tactfully changed the subject: "You didn't come down for lunch, you must be hungry, right?"
It's common for Hu Ji to skip breakfast, but this is the first time she hasn't gone down for lunch.
That's why Ling Jiu was surprised when he saw her come out of Ruan Lanzhu's room.
"I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Ling Jiushi nodded: "Everyone saved food for you; Ruan Lanzhu specifically told them to."
"Okay, I'm going downstairs for dinner. Are you going down too?"
"Yes, everyone is downstairs."
As soon as Hu Ji arrived downstairs, Cheng Qianli, with his sharp eyes, spotted her first: "Sister Mu Lan, you're awake?"
"Yeah, I woke up because I was hungry."
"Haha, were you playing games or watching TV shows late at night?"
Within Obsidian, only the two of them would do this, so they can be considered to be of the same ilk in this regard.
Hu Ji nodded: "You guessed right, I played games until 3 a.m. last night before I went to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qianli bluntly replied, "You must be quite a sleeper to only be waking up now. Even if I stay up all night, I wouldn't sleep that long."
His words impressed and inspired a lot of people.
Hu Ji glanced at Ruan Lanzhu with a half-smile, then said, "You're so young and you already need less sleep? I'm older than you, how come I sleep better than you?"
A smile flashed in Ruan Lanzhu's eyes, then she glanced at Cheng Qianli.
Unfortunately, Cheng Qianli didn't notice that he was still defending himself: "No, I sleep quite well. I usually sleep well if I don't stay up late."
"Watch your TV, I'm going to eat. 'Don't talk while eating or sleeping.'" Hu Ji didn't want to continue discussing these topics with the child.
Cheng Qianli: "You haven't... umm..."
Seeing that he was talking so much, Cheng Yixie quickly covered his mouth: "Shut up, Cheng Qianli!"
This clueless guy, didn't he see that Brother Ruan looked at him several times?
Cheng Qianli tried to resist, and the two brothers exchanged a few more words.
Although it was a bit noisy, it improved the quiet atmosphere that had followed when Yi Manman left in the morning.
