Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 729 I can…

Yu Shijiu: [?]

He smiled inwardly and replied: "It's okay, I can ask someone else."

Xiao Li angrily accused: "You've gone too far!"

【Huh? Did I go too far?】

Yu Shijiu feigned ignorance and sighed: "Isn't it because you're irresponsible with my system?"

Xiao Li was completely dumbfounded: [Do you know what you're saying?]

Oh, of course I know.

Yu Shijiu's nonchalant response indeed angered Xiao Li, who almost immediately wanted to launch a verbal attack.

"Didn't Ange tell you?"

The man opposite her frowned: "She shouldn't have left this so unclear to you."

"Oh."

Yu Shijiu smiled and said, "Sister An told me about it, but I forgot."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

Lu Chusheng pursed his lips and reached for the hat in Yu Shijiu's hand:

"My hat—"

"By the way, Captain Lu."

The boy in front of him suddenly reached behind him and said with a smile:

"May I touch your ear?"

Lu Chusheng: "?"

The chubby guy rubbing against Lu Chusheng's thigh: "??!!"

What?! What?! Why are you petting another cat?!

Feifei angrily lashed out at Lu Chusheng's thigh with its tail, the kind that sends a gust of wind flying from nowhere.

Lu Chusheng, who was slapped, felt his scalp tingle instantly, and even began to stutter when he spoke.

"This, this," Lu Chusheng instinctively wanted to refuse, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate—"

"Huh? What's wrong with that?"

Yu Shijiu, who had interrupted Lu Chusheng again, snorted unhappily. He slowly twirled the hat he was holding in his right hand, then winked mischievously and said:

"Captain Lu, there aren't many people here, but some people still walk this way... What do you think you'll do if someone recognizes you?"

The captain of the inspection team, Lu Chusheng, is actually a repressed pervert who likes to wear cat ears on his head and, well, likes role-playing?

Yu Shijiu was amused by her own imagination. She looked at Lu Chusheng with her eyes crinkling, and the expectation in her eyes made Lu Chusheng fall silent.

"..."

Yu Shijiu felt happy to see the other party's frustrated and helpless look. A feeling of extreme joy and relaxation spread through his heart, making him tremble and wonder if there was something wrong with his heart.

In fact, Yu Shijiu was just saying it casually—as mentioned before, Lu Chusheng is, after all, the captain of the inspection team and the top scorer in their town at the moment. How could he possibly let her touch the cat ears that grew due to the side effects of the dungeon just for a hat?

Besides, how could Lu Chusheng possibly go out with only a hat? It's not like he doesn't have a system inventory.

It was actually just a joke, but Yu Shijiu, still somewhat disappointed, sighed and raised the hat—forget it, I'll just give the hat back to Lu Chusheng.

Just as the boy raised his hat, Lu Chusheng, who could have simply left or picked up another hat to put on, sighed slowly.

"?"

Why are you sighing?

Yu Shijiu pouted petulantly, opening her mouth to speak—

"Touch it."

The tall, handsome man in front of her slowly bent over, his straight back becoming much more hunched.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

The boy's pupils gradually widened. He looked at Lu Chusheng, who had suddenly approached him, with a mixture of confusion and shock. His gaze involuntarily fell on the orange cat ears on either side of the other's head.

The cat's ears were a beautiful color, like the orange hue scattered across the sky before sunset, now tinged with a pale gold by the sunlight. The fluffy ears even trembled slowly, perhaps due to the owner's anxious and shy state.

trembling?

Yu Shijiu blinked slowly, the words of refusal that were about to come up in his throat were swallowed back down.

"Okay."

Yu Shijiu blinked, and as Lu Chusheng closed his eyes, he reached out and touched the other's ear.

The moment Yu Shijiu touched it, she noticed that the cat ears under her palm deflated quickly as if startled, with the tips even slightly embedded in Lu Chusheng's thick black hair, trembling faintly.

Very soft.

It's fluffy and warm.

Yu Shijiu rubbed the deflated cat ears that were trying to escape in his hand with great pleasure—Lu Chusheng's ear roots (the ear roots here refer to those used on humans) even felt a little warm from being rubbed.

The two, engrossed in touching each other's ears and being "forced" to have their ears touched, didn't notice that a man and a woman were staring at them in astonishment from behind a piece of transparent glass not far away. The former even forgot that he was still holding a spoon in his hand.

Bang!

The spoon in his hand fell into the porcelain white tray in front of him, startling him so much that he jumped.

"I...I'm so damn good..."

Xu Han's eyes widened in shock. He was so shocked that his mouth trembled as he opened and closed it repeatedly. He stared stiffly at He Lingling, who was equally shocked and had lost all control of her expression, as if he had just woken up.

"I... I don't think I'm seeing things, right?"

Xu Han murmured, "Over there, over there is Shi Jiu, it's Shi Jiu and, Shi Jiu and... Lu, Lu Chu, Lu Chusheng, right?"

He Lingling's eyes, which were covered by a thin white veil, moved slowly, and she nodded with some difficulty.

"Yes, I should... I guess so..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

The chatter of other players in the coffee shop slowly brought the two back to their senses. Xu Han picked up his coffee in front of him and took a sip, only to cough from the coldness.

"Cough cough—cough cough cough—cough cough cough cough—I, damn it, damn it—Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu and that—cough cough, that person—when did that person become so, so familiar??!!"

Even as he coughed, Xu Han continued in shock, "And, cough cough, and that Lu, Lu something—cough cough, what's wrong with him?! Why is he bending down, bending down to pat Shi Jiu's head?!"

Do you know how "terrifying" this scene is?

It was so "horrifying and absurd" that Xu Han felt that if the other players in the monitoring team saw this scene, Yu Shijiu would likely be "cut" into pieces by their shocked gazes—cough, this is just Xu Han's exaggerated speculation.

He Lingling was slightly better than Xu Han, but she was still a little dazed. She licked her lips and said blankly:

"how could I know?"

Xu Han: "Weren't you quite close to Lu Chusheng before?"

He Lingling: "???"

She and Lu Chusheng are close? Who said that? Whoever said that should step forward now and see if she beats him to death!

"Am I acquainted with Lu Chusheng?"

He Lingling sneered: "If I were close to him, I would have joined the inspection team long ago. Would you even be my teammate?"

"?" Xu Han choked and coughed several more times. Somewhat embarrassed, he lowered his head, took a sip of coffee to calm himself, and muttered softly:

"Not familiar with them? Then why did you always go into game dungeons with Lu Chusheng and the others before?"
