Chapter 2 Ex-Boyfriend
Gui Yuchong was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Yan Xun to speak in that way.
Yan Xun carefully identified the other people—the plot synopsis he received only contained simple descriptions of their appearances. When he saw a clearly mixed-race face, he breathed a slight sigh of relief—he was really bad at remembering faces, and only remembered that Gui Yuchong's roommate was a mixed-race man.
“I’ll switch rooms with you.” He pointed at the mixed-race man.
"I hate men who wear cologne."
It sounds like utter cannon fodder, Yan Xun thought.
The mixed-race man he was pointing at looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Don't change rooms randomly at the beginning of the dungeon." The man who spoke was wearing an outdoor windbreaker, with black hair and black eyes. He glanced at Yan Xun and the smiling mixed-race man, "This isn't child's play."
"I am Li Wu." He gave a brief self-introduction, then looked at Yan Xun.
"Yan Xun." Yan Xun shrugged, looking indifferent and unwilling to listen to advice.
Then came a series of self-introductions. Yan Xun listened for a long time, but all he could remember was that the champagne-wearing man was Pei Xingyan… When Yan Xun looked over, the man smiled at him and said, “What a coincidence.”
"Our names both contain the character '宴' (yàn, meaning banquet)."
Yan Xun was about to say it wasn't a word, but he quickly shut up and snorted, looking like he had a bad temper.
"Shouldn't we find our rooms first?" Pei Xingyan looked at Li Wu—the other seemed to know a lot about this instance.
This sentence probably triggered the plot, and soon an old man with a wrinkled face appeared at the door of the room. Judging from his clothes, he should be the apartment manager.
The administrator frowned as he looked at the people in the room—
What are you doing here?
"Didn't you know that fake humans have appeared recently?"
He pointed to a clock in the corner of the room, "From 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day, you have to stay in your own room."
He stared at the players, "Otherwise, the security guards will mistake them for fakes and eliminate them."
Yan Xun glanced at the clock in the corner—
It's 9:30 p.m. now, less than half an hour until 10 p.m.
The people in the room probably realized this, and the moment the administrator finished speaking, they left the room and headed to other places.
When Yan Xun left the room, he specifically glanced at the room number—
[No. 508]
Room 404 was clearly on the floor below. Yan Xun glanced at it and started running down the corridor. However, when she reached the emergency exit, she almost burst into a tirade—
The entire layout of the MeiMei Building is completely chaotic!
The 4th floor is actually 10 floors above the 5th floor!
Perhaps because there were too many tenants in the building, the elevator remained stuck on the first floor.
"What would happen if I died right now?" Yan Xun asked the system.
"Then what a pointless death!" the system shouted. "A streamer who can't even survive the first day has no value in staying."
"A streamer?" Yan Xun noticed the system's comment.
Yes, we were live-streaming the entire process.
"I've already said that Infinite Games have become like a reality show." The system muttered a few times, probably reminiscing about the original Infinite Flow genre, how thrilling and exciting it was.
While Yan Xun was looking at the elevator, Gui Yuchong stood quietly beside him.
"……Hello."
Gui Yuchong tilted his head and looked at Yan Xun. "How about we climb the stairs instead?" He pointed to the elevator that was stuck on the first floor and hadn't come up yet. "Looks like we're going to be late."
"You have to say it," Yan Xun said again in a harsh tone.
He ignored Gui Yuchong beside him and walked straight towards the stairwell.
—Perhaps due to years of disrepair, unlike the relatively intact environment outside, the safety passage can only be described as dirty and chaotic.
There was graffiti on the corner of the wall, half of the motion-sensor lights in the stairwell were broken, and there was an unpleasant smell in some places.
Although Yan Xun looked half-dead, he climbed the stairs very quickly. In the middle, he secretly glanced at Gui Yuchong behind him... only to find that this person in the novel, who was delicate and weak and could neither run nor fight, was actually following behind him the whole time.
When he saw him turn around, he even smiled at him.
"I'm so tired," Gui Yuchong's voice rang out in the emergency exit.
They didn't know when, but the entire emergency exit was now only occupied by the two of them.
"I don't know when we'll arrive."
"I can hardly walk anymore."
He said that, but his footsteps still followed closely behind Yan Xun. If you listened carefully... you could even tell that the frequency of his footsteps was exactly the same. Apart from his breathing being a little rapid, he didn't look tired at all.
"If you can't walk, then stay here," Yan Xun said.
He still remembers that before he and Gui Yuchong "reconciled," he had always been sarcastic and often mocked the other party.
“No way,” Gui Yuchong said calmly. “We’re roommates.”
We can't abandon each other.
It was probably because Gui Yuchong was getting closer that Yan Xun could smell a very faint fragrance... It should have smelled very nice, but Yan Xun only felt dizzy and nauseous.
—It seems he's not one of those sycophants in novels who can be completely captivated by Gui Yuchong's fragrance.
At this moment, the sign for the 4th floor was already in sight.
Yan Xun ran a few steps quickly, then pushed open the door to the emergency exit and ran out.
Gui Yuchong slowly followed behind him, squinting at Yan Xun in front of him, his overly pale arms, and his hair tied up for easier climbing... A few unruly strands of hair fell onto Yan Xun's neck.
Gui Yuchong slowly followed behind Yan Xun, and just as the other was about to open the door, he suddenly reached out.
He pinched those few strands of hair, his fingertips touching Yan Xun's neck—
Unexpectedly, the other party reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, touching their neck and immediately turning their head.
"what are you doing?"
Gui Yuchong looked startled. "...Your hair," he said. "I want to fix it for you."
"unnecessary."
Yan Xun said, pushing open the door.
Room 404 was a very cramped room, to be precise... it didn't look like it could fit two people.
As they entered the room, a stream of information flooded into Yan Xun's mind.
“…So that’s how it is.” Gui Yuchong also read the information in his head at this moment. He looked at Yan Xun and said, “You are my ex-boyfriend.”
