Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 367 If it could always be like this...

"Thank you."

Yu Shijiu thanked Xu Han sweetly after receiving the chopsticks, and at An Jie's prompting, picked up some ribs and put them on the plate in front of Fei Fei.

"Meow meow meow!"

Fatty happily licked the back of his hand, then lowered his head and took a bite of the rib.

"..."

He Lingling, who was being targeted, clicked her tongue and stood up to get some rice, but Chen Yi stopped her with a smile.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll go, Xiaohan, you've been hungry all day, let's eat, let's eat."

Just as the kind-hearted Chen Yi was about to turn around, Yu Shijiu, who had put down her chopsticks, stopped her.

"Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu stuffed a piece of stewed potato into his mouth until it was soft and mushy, and mumbled:

"I'll go, I'll go. I've eaten so many meals but I've never once gone to get more rice."

He then walked right past Chen Yi and rushed into the kitchen.

"Hey, wait—"

Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, Yu Shijiu slammed him into a chair.

Chen Yi: "..."

He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face and said something.

"Shi Jiu's grip is really strong."

"How could it not be big?"

Xu Han walked to the refrigerator and spent a long time choosing before finally selecting the "happy fat otaku water." As he poured the water for Yu Shijiu, he showed a proud expression.

"Shi Jiu's strength is incredible! One swing of his axe could cut a monster in half!"

As he spoke, Xu Han reached out and gently touched Feifei's paw. "Feifei, do you want a Coke?"

Fatty, who had just swallowed a piece of pork rib: "..."

He Lingling rolled her eyes. "Feifei is a cat, how can it drink cola? Besides, can cats drink cola? Or is it that they can't?"

"...I hope everything is alright."

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "When I had cats before, I didn't dare to give them these drinks, but Feifei isn't an ordinary cat..."

The three of them fell silent at the same time, licking their lips as they watched Fatty, who was lying on the table like a little tiger, chewing on ribs.

I hope I'm alright...

"It's nothing," Yu Shijiu said with a smile as she came out carrying a rice cooker and a spoon.

"Feifei can eat anything, it has a great appetite."

"Oh, by the way, could you bring the whole pot of rice over?"

Yu Shijiu said.

Chen Yi nodded and stood up. "It's alright. The table is big. Shi Jiu, you can put the food in the middle. Anyone who wants some can just take some."

"it is good!"

Fatty, standing to the side, nodded in a human-like manner, a hint of urging on its cat face, and patted the empty cup next to it with its paw.

He Lingling: "...!!!"

So cute! I want to touch it!

She did reach out, but Fatty dodged it quickly.

He Lingling withdrew her hand in disappointment, sighing.

Xu Han, with a satisfied expression, enthusiastically began pouring cola for Fei Fei, muttering to himself as he did so:

"When we're doing game dungeons together in the future, Fatty, you'd better keep an eye on me. I'm just a weak little support character, Cat, cough, Fatty, you'd better protect me..."

Feifei actually thought about it seriously for a while, then pointed with its paw at the braised fish opposite Xu Han and meowed several times in a suggestive manner.

"!!!" Xu Han was overjoyed and immediately placed the whole plate of braised fish in front of Fei Fei, then put on a sycophantic act again.

"Feifei, eat! Feifei, just tell me what you want to eat! I'll get it for you!"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

You're really on the right track, Xu Han!

Fatty nodded in satisfaction and dragged the whole braised fish over.

The others nearby: "..."

Anjie, who had been watching quietly, couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows several times.

"Xu Han."

Anjie stood up and took the rice that He Lingling had served her.

"I've discussed it with your brother Chen, and we're planning to have you and a few other players who aren't very experienced go into the game dungeons a few more times to get some experience. Start preparing today."

Xu Han paused in his act of putting food on Fei Fei's plate. "Huh? What?"

"Get some exercise."

Anjie sat down and started eating. "Go into more game instances and train more."

Sitting next to her, He Lingling suppressed a laugh and raised her glass to Yu Shijiu.

"?" Although Yu Shijiu didn't quite understand what this meant, he still raised his cup full of cola and clinked it with hers in a daze.

boom!

Amidst the crisp clinking of glasses, Xu Han was dumbfounded: "..."

A few seconds later, Xu Han let out a heart-wrenching sound of rejection.

"No, no, no! I don't want to! I want to play the game with Shi Jiu and the others! No one else will do, they'll definitely not want me, the player who's holding them back!"

Anjie calmly shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth, a half-smile playing on her lips:

"Oh?"

"You know you'll hold us back?"

Xu Han's wails subsided.

He felt a little guilty.

Yu Shijiu, who was happily enjoying his food, reached out his hand.

"wrong."

The others looked at him and saw Yu Shijiu say with a solemn expression:

"Xu Han didn't hold me back; he even helped me heal in the last game."

Anjie and Chen Yi smiled.

Xu Han's expression changed instantly, and she leaned against Yu Shijiu's shoulder, rubbing against him with a tearful expression.

"Shi Jiu~" Xu Han covered her face and pretended to cry: "You're still the best to me."

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He felt that Xu Han's action was a bit strange, and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Xu Han didn't notice his dodging movements and continued to fake cry.

"Shi Jiu, you're so kind! I really, really, from now on, if I have two packs of spicy strips, I'll give you one and a half packs!"

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her head: "Really?"

Xu Han was speechless for a second as he stared into those bright, shining eyes. "Really."

"I remember."

Yu Shijiu nodded, took the chicken leg that He Lingling had put on his plate, and took a big bite.

You can't lie.

"...Why would I lie to you?" Xu Han was stunned for a second. "You can have as many spicy strips as you want. I can afford to buy them myself."

In towns, the main expenses for points are oxygen fees and rent; other expenses are generally not very high unless you're aiming for the highest quality of life.

Xu Han believed he had enough points from a few packs of spicy strips.

Yu Shijiu gave him a thumbs-up and continued eating.

At the dinner table, Anjie and Chen Yi exchanged a knowing glance and smiled.

No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, they are all content and happy, and that's enough.

Anjie tilted her head back and took a sip of tea. The bitter and fragrant tea slid down her throat and into her stomach, feeling slightly hot, which made her chest feel faintly warm.

pretty good.

Anjie smiled as she accepted the pork rib soup Chen Yi handed her, and then smiled as she lowered her head to drink the soup.

It would be even better if things could continue like this.

----------

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yu Shijiu bid farewell to An Jie and the others with Feifei, and took some props with him as they headed home.

"belch."

Yu Shijiu let out a burp, looked at the twinkling starry sky, and was about to speak when he saw a figure standing at the door of a house not far away.
