Ch 105: TGCIR

The night grew deeper.

After reverting back, Shen Cheng returned to the bed.

The feeling of being in this world in person was quite different from what she saw in the game. If the depiction of the wasteland in the game wasn’t so clear, when Shen Cheng truly stood under the starry sky of this world, living in the abandoned house where no one lived anymore, witnessing the desolate tranquility of this world, and hearing the nocturnal sounds of not bustling streets but occasional unknown noises from the wilderness outside the window, even the roars of zombies, she then clearly felt that this world was different from hers.

Tang Lu’s bodyguards took turns guarding downstairs in the lobby, but they didn’t light any fires for fear of attracting zombie attacks at night.

Shen Cheng curiously looked out of the window and happened to see a swaying zombie nearby. It probably caught the scent of people inside the house and suddenly rushed towards this side of the wall.

Before she could do anything, one of the night guards had already swung down with a knife, silently cutting off the zombie’s head.

This scene, without the censorship of pixels, was so impactful. Shen Cheng had never seen anything like it before. She took a step back, her hand instinctively clutching her chest, feeling a wave of nausea.

She wanted to suppress the nausea, but the more she tried not to think about it, the more pronounced the feeling became, especially when a foul odor wafted in from outside the window. She dared to say she had never smelled such stench in her life.

Shen Cheng’s face turned pale.

Silently, Li Weilan approached, witnessing everything clearly.

She had come, but thankfully, it was only for a day.

Li Weilan peeled an orange from the space in his hand and handed it over. The refreshing and sweet scent of the orange dissipated the foul odor left by the corpse in the air.

Shen Cheng took it absentmindedly. Her gaze was still somewhat vacant. Li Weilan looked at her, holding the orange in her hand but not eating it. He peeled off a slice and offered it to her. “Ah.”

Shen Cheng opened her mouth and ate it, still lost in thought.

Another slice.

He found some amusement in feeding her, and by the time she finished the orange, the nausea from the shocking scene had subsided. Shen Cheng glanced outside and saw that it had quieted down. She lowered her head, lost in thought.

She knew that low-level zombies like the one just now were just part of daily life in the wasteland. Even the bodyguards didn’t take this lone zombie too seriously. The scene she had just witnessed was nowhere near the danger she had seen before.

Perhaps she was the only one who couldn’t adapt. If she had been outside gagging at this moment, she might have brought trouble to Li Weilan.

Shen Cheng didn’t think she couldn’t adapt; it just required a process.

She sighed softly. “I…”

But Li Weilan had already covered her lips. This time, the roles were reversed.

His gaze held tenderness and concern. “Don’t speak.”

Whether it was an apology or getting used to it slowly, she shouldn’t say it.

It was just a day trip to the wasteland, and he hoped that while Shen Cheng was here, she could enjoy this completely different world and scenery.

After all, no matter how colorful and magical it was, once she returned to her own world, it would gradually fade into a dull silhouette. It wasn’t her world, and he didn’t want her to struggle, strain, or inconvenience herself to get used to it.

So, there was no need for apologies.

“I have 365 oranges.” Li Weilan suddenly changed the subject, playfully blinking at her. “During the days when you’re not here, I saved an orange every day. As long as you don’t mind the sourness that is enough to rot your teeth, you can eat one whenever you want tomorrow.”

Hearing “sour enough to rot your teeth,” Shen Cheng couldn’t help but chuckle. But the thought of 365 oranges suddenly tasted a hint of bittersweetness from his words—saving one every day until she returned.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Saying it’s for eating, but actually mainly to help her mask the smell, right?

Shen Cheng’s heart felt heavy as someone who had entered this world without any transition. She suddenly realized that perhaps she had been too naive about all of this.

Li Weilan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

He had wondered why the game would give her a one-day trip opportunity at this time, in this situation, and even more, why only for one day.

He didn’t want her to feel burdened by this, so he abruptly changed the subject, “You’re my girlfriend, and tonight, we only have one bed in our room.”

Pausing for a moment, before Shen Cheng could react, he winked at her, “And only one blanket.”

“Ah,” Shen Cheng suddenly realized. She hesitated, looking at the only bed in the room. She hesitated, realizing, oh, since she had just confirmed their relationship in front of Tang Lu, it seemed inevitable that they had to share a bed.

That sounded a bit nerve-wracking.

But she immediately reacted, humming, “You’re lying. Clearly, you have plenty of blankets in your space.”

Sharing a bed was inevitable, but…

Just one blanket…

Shen Cheng felt her face heat up just thinking about it. Sharing a blanket, breathing the same air in a small space in the morning—it just felt like an intimate distance.

Li Weilan chuckled and ruffled her hair, “Looks like your IQ is still intact.”

His playful teasing helped her relax slowly.

Shen Cheng couldn’t help but scold, “By saying that, you make me misunderstand that you want to share a bed and blanket with me.”

Before she finished her sentence, she saw the man in front of her gradually become serious.

He didn’t respond, just quietly looked at her.

In the instant their eyes met, Shen Cheng’s face also flushed. She belatedly realized that, seeing his restrained expression, her words seemed to have elicited a response from him. So he just silently looked at her, his Adam’s apple moving slightly, but he didn’t speak.

He did want to be with her.

Sharing a bed, lying under the same blanket, skin touching skin, bodies intimately connected to each other.

Just imagining what they could do tonight made Shen Cheng’s face flush.

Unable to bear this intense and profound gaze, she subconsciously lowered her head. The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and humid, as if she had fallen into a strange dream.

Li Weilan cleared his throat softly.

If she hadn’t brought it up, he wouldn’t have wanted to reveal his possessiveness and other desires.

He wasn’t a saint, of course he would have the same thoughts as any man, but when he saw her feeling nauseous and retching just now, he had completely suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

Before everything settled down, before he could promise her a stable future, he didn’t want to burden her too much. In her world, she was already alone. If this encounter only brought her heartache, he would rather not leave too deep a mark on her life.

Li Weilan restrained all the fluctuations in his heart and smiled as if nothing had happened, “This bed is big enough. Let’s still sleep separately with different blankets.”

“Eh,” Shen Cheng subconsciously responded, but as the words came out, she realized there was a hint of unfulfilled desire in her tone, as if she was a little regretful.

She covered her mouth, looking at Li Weilan with a pair of big eyes, nodding. She didn’t quite understand how difficult it was for him to restrain himself, nor did she know about his emotional fluctuations. She just thought that this body didn’t seem to belong to her. Otherwise, she might as well forget about it for now.

Who knew if this body would suddenly deflate?

Ah, suddenly needing to recharge, if that kind of situation occurred, it would be so awkward.

But for something else she felt appropriate, Shen Cheng watched as Li Weilan began to bend down to help her tuck in the blanket and make the bed. She couldn’t help but quietly walk up behind him, reaching out from behind to wrap her arms around his waist.

As she reached out, she happened to hug him perfectly.

Li Weilan’s scent was very light, without the heavy cologne smell some modern guys had, nor did he smell sweaty or fishy. Instead, it was a refreshing and lively scent.

Shen Cheng couldn’t help but press her face against his back from behind, taking a couple of gentle sniffs. Her face felt hot again from smelling him. She really felt like a pervert.

Li Weilan stopped his movements.

From Shen Cheng’s perspective, she couldn’t see that his expression changed three times in an instant.

From excitement to awakening and back to restraint, in the moment she pounced on him, Li Weilan even wanted to turn around and hug her back. Behind him was the bed, the moonlight outside was beautiful, it was a night suitable for lovers.

However, he ultimately closed his eyes, restraining everything he shouldn’t have.

“Cheng Cheng,” he called her name with a hoarse voice, feeling both numb and ticklish around his waist where Shen Cheng’s little hand touched.

Shen Cheng was genuinely curious.

She lifted a bit of Li Weilan’s T-shirt and curiously reached out to touch his abs. She had already been curious when she saw his toned physique in the game, but now seeing his defined waistline and hard abdominal muscles, she subconsciously wanted to touch them.

Wow, she had only seen muscles on male models or actors on TV before, never in real life.

Was the feeling of touching them the same as it looked?

Li Weilan closed his eyes.

His breathing became slightly irregular.

Shen Cheng probably didn’t know that this was the greatest challenge his willpower had ever faced, even more difficult than suppressing anger and pain.

Perhaps it was because joy and restraint were mixed together in his heart, he suddenly felt like this night was as quiet as if he could hear his own pounding heartbeat.

Shen Cheng curiously touched a couple of times, not feeling satisfied yet. The man who had been obediently like he had been hit by a stiffening debuff finally turned around. He sat on the blanket he had just spread on the bed, and she ended up sitting on his lap. She could directly feel the burning hardness there.

Shen Cheng’s face flushed.

Just now she didn’t feel much, but now it was too direct. Her face suddenly felt hot, and she didn’t dare to look into his eager eyes.

His hand, which had been behind her head, exerted a little force. Shen Cheng’s face followed his force and turned slightly downward. She felt a strange warmth on her lips. She closed her eyes and awkwardly parted her lips, feeling herself stiffen for a moment.

“Mm,” Shen Cheng heard herself make a sticky nasal sound.

She opened her eyes to see Li Weilan’s focused gaze and long eyelashes.

There was also a faint blush on his face.

Shen Cheng vaguely thought, so he’s shy too.

It’s not just her who’s shy.

Even in this moment full of aggression, Li Weilan was also shy.

Realizing this, when Li Weilan finally let go of the hand behind her head and hesitantly moved back a bit, Shen Cheng suddenly took the opportunity to peck him on the lips again. Her eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled, “We’re even now.”
