Ch 106: TGCIR

Li Weilan silently, calmly, and stoically watched her.

His breath was hot and fast, but even so, his gaze remained restrained.

Shen Cheng only felt that the thing pressing against her leg seemed to have hardened a bit more. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, she shifted slightly. Li Weilan’s voice carried a hint of impatience now, and he pressed her slightly harder, his voice low and with a hint of anger. “Stop fidgeting. Sit properly.”

Shen Cheng felt like she had never been so curious or bold before.

In her over twenty years as a single woman, she had never been so curious about exploring a man’s body.

Perhaps it was undeniable that part of it came from curiosity, but more came from a kind of naive trust from her subconscious.

She looked at him, smiling faintly, and hugged his neck without any defenses, their breaths mingling.

Li Weilan felt that between their lips and tongues was her warm and sweet scent. Even his breath became erratic, and belatedly, he wondered why she was smiling.

Yeah, what was she smiling about?

She tilted her head to look at him, smiling so brightly, as if she didn’t care about their intimate contact.

“Lan Lan,” her voice carried a lazy nasal tone, “I really like you. It’s so nice to look at you like this.”

Her murmuring voice also carried a bit of the unique soft accent of the southern region. Li Weilan’s heart skipped a beat, as if even his heartbeat was in chaos.

He awkwardly covered her eyes. “Don’t say anything.” If she continued, he didn’t know if he could restrain himself.

The feeling of fullness in his chest was like it was about to overflow. If it weren’t for the last shred of rationality, perhaps their first time would really happen in this abandoned small room.

When reason returned, Li Weilan felt drenched in sweat.

Shen Cheng still looked at him with a smile, a hint of shyness lingering in her heart. After all, the thing pressing against her thigh seemed to have a heavy weight and was quite noticeable between her legs.

It was normal for intimate things to happen between boyfriends and girlfriends.

She admired his restraint, appreciated his persistence, and understood his concerns.

So whether he continued to restrain himself or gave in, she would listen to him.

He chose not to, and Shen Cheng chose to respect that and not provoke him further.

Shen Cheng knew that if she teased him a bit more, things would escalate. Since he had chosen to restrain himself so hard, it was better not to ruin it.

Li Weilan hoarsely said, “You did it on purpose.”

Touching his abs, hugging him, she knew he wasn’t able to resist her right now.

Shen Cheng silently nodded.

A hint of sadness crossed her face.

“Are you afraid?” Li Weilan hesitated. He didn’t want to voice the bad possibilities, but they both knew what his issue was. Who knew when the next time he would come would be?

The game was out of their control. It might be a month later, it might be a year later, or maybe just once in a lifetime, like how he only had this one chance to go to her side.

“Li Weilan,” Shen Cheng called his name earnestly. She rarely called him by his full name like this, without excessive familiarity or joking. “From childhood to now, the things I truly cherish and care about have never been able to stay by my side for too long. I don’t know if being with you has already used up all my luck, but I only know that cherishing the present will prevent future regrets.”

So she did have the intention of teasing him.

Yes.

His thoughts were not wrong.

Li Weilan was stunned, his pupils widened in surprise. His lips were dry and he couldn’t find any words to say. Previously, he had defended her in his heart, thinking she just didn’t understand, but who knew, girls really did have intentions.

“I can’t,” Li Weilan hesitated, stepping back slightly. “I…”

He blinked, feeling tongue-tied for the first time; how could he say it without hurting her? Would she think it was because she wasn’t attractive enough, or doubt his feelings?

Shen Cheng couldn’t help but laugh again as she looked at him.

She tapped his forehead. “Alright, let’s go to bed early.” She paused and added, “I know you’re doing this for my own good.”

Bed, what bed?

Li Weilan couldn’t possibly sleep now.

After dropping that bombshell, she slept soundly and sweetly next to him, her sleeping face calm and peaceful, as if what she did just now had nothing to do with her.

But Li Weilan was also happy in his heart. If it weren’t for her change in attitude, with her usual cautiousness and reserve in her own world, how could she have made such intimate gestures like today?

Even if she was being bold, it only showed the closeness between them and that they were different from others in each other’s hearts.

Li Weilan couldn’t help but sigh softly, shaking his head gently. This was simply a sweet burden.

Shen Cheng really slept well.

But at around three or four in the morning, she suddenly felt like there was something crying outside the house.

The crying was loud and penetrating.

She woke up drowsily, the sky still dark, with only the bright round moon outside. In the moonlight, she saw Li Weilan sleeping soundly next to her, not at all disturbed by the crying outside.

Listening carefully, it seemed like the whole house was quiet, as if she was the only one who heard the crying and woke up.

Shen Cheng felt somewhat uneasy for some reason, furrowing her brows slightly. With some effort, she propped up her upper body and leaned out of the window to see what was happening outside.

But just one glance, and Shen Cheng’s face turned pale. In the middle of the night, the man who had been guarding at the door was hanging from a pillar, his eyes wide open, his entire body impaled by a large iron rod through his chest, staring blankly towards the sky.

His facial muscles were twisted, his expression terrified, as if he had seen something unimaginable.

“Ah!” Shen Cheng almost screamed, but she immediately realized that this place was already dangerous, and if she made too much noise, it might attract the monster that had killed the guard. Shen Cheng covered her mouth tightly, pushing Li Weilan beside her with her hand.

She pushed once, but he didn’t wake up.

Twice, he still didn’t wake up.

Three times, still no response.

At this point, even Shen Cheng, who was not very perceptive, felt that something was wrong.

Wasn’t Li Weilan usually more cautious?

As a survivor of the wasteland, if he didn’t have even this much vigilance, he definitely wouldn’t have survived until now.

Pushing him three times and still not waking up, either her actions were an illusion, or he was forcibly asleep and couldn’t wake up now no matter what.

If sleep was an illusion, then was the dead person outside also an illusion?

Shen Cheng had heard of a theory in the modern world that the scenes people saw in their dreams were mostly reflections of their subconscious. In other words, if she had never seen something before, she wouldn’t be able to imagine it.

Shen Cheng quietly looked at the man nailed to the railing again, from his deathly state to his twisted facial muscles, and found no resemblance to the impactful zombie head she had seen today.

This wasn’t something she could imagine on her own.

Shen Cheng was certain that with her level of knowledge, she couldn’t imagine such details of a gruesome death.

It seemed that this wasn’t a hallucination.

The child’s crying outside abruptly stopped, and the air pressure seemed to drop suddenly. Shen Cheng felt a tremendous pressure, climbing up little by little, getting closer and closer.

She gradually felt suffocated.

If her feelings weren’t deceiving her, then whatever that dangerous thing was, it was getting closer and closer.

What could it be?

Shen Cheng gritted her teeth as she looked at Li Weilan sleeping peacefully beside her. Suddenly, she remembered something and raised her hand to activate the skill to remove curses.

This skill in the game was used to remove debuffs. Basically, no matter what curse debuff effects were on someone, throwing this skill would remove them.

Shen Cheng didn’t know if using the skill would work, but after using it, Li Weilan really opened his eyes.

Shen Cheng rushed over and covered his mouth.

She widened her eyes, placed a finger in front of her lips, and made a “shh” gesture.

Li Weilan realized what was happening and blinked at her.

Only then did she let go of his hand.

Li Weilan got out of bed quietly. He followed Shen Cheng’s pointing finger and glanced out the window for just a moment. His expression changed almost instantly. At that moment, there was a light sound of the door in their room.

Before Shen Cheng could react, Li Weilan had already pulled her behind him and raised his hand to send a spatial blade slashing over.

A faint light flashed, and Shen Cheng distinctly saw something at the door split apart.

It looked like a black, blurry shadow.

Damn, could it really be a ghost knocking on their door? Shen Cheng shuddered. The shadow disappeared in an instant. She bravely peeked out from behind Li Weilan to look at the dark corridor, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Right now, she couldn’t help but wish it was just a game.

In the game, no matter what monster it was, seeing its health bar, seeing its true form, seeing its name, she felt like she could defeat it no matter what.

But now, Shen Cheng felt extremely nervous. Her heart was beating so fast that besides using the curse-removing skill, she hadn’t been able to do anything else.

Ashamed, embarrassed.

Li Weilan walked towards the door.

He looked around, the corridor deep and the rooms quiet. Obviously, besides him and Shen Cheng, everyone else who was still alive was either sleeping or in eternal slumber.

A cold light flashed in Li Weilan’s eyes. He could have ignored Tang Lu’s life and death, but this was related to his struggle with the Academy.

If Tang Lu was gone, it would be much harder for him to enter the J City base and to deal with the J City Academy with the help of Tang Lu’s father.

If Tang Lu’s father already knew that he had taken on the task of escorting Tang Lu but only he survived among the group, would they turn against each other? It would be even more difficult to say.

Thinking like this, if Tang Lu wasn’t dead by now, he still needed to be saved.
