Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 205 Really? A big cake too?

The atmosphere in the room was very peaceful.

Xu Han was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked in bewilderment:

"Brave? Does it mean commendable courage?"

Yu Shijiu nodded slightly, looking at the sheep doll in his hand, his voice very soft.

"Your mother is already very brave to file for divorce."

Unlike his mother, who, though still kind and gentle, was a caged bird that had long since lost its teeth and claws and was no longer capable of resisting, his mother was different.

“…That’s true,” Xu Han suddenly realized, and he nodded with a smile.

"But I had to be brave. My mom was already pregnant with me at the time. She initially thought about stabilizing the family and just putting up with it, but she couldn't stand it anymore and brought up divorce. Hey, my dad didn't agree to it at the time, but I kicked him out of the house."

When Xu Han mentioned his father's embarrassing past, he found it quite funny, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.

"If you ask me, my mom is right. A man who can't control his own body, saying he's drunk and confused, pshaw! Who would believe that! If he's really drunk, that thing can be... cough cough, um, Shi Jiu, are you an adult?"

Xu Han, who almost blurted out something, quickly tried to salvage the situation. After coughing a few times, he hesitated and looked at Yu Shijiu, who was still smiling, across from him.

"Adult?" Yu Shijiu was listening intently, and nodded blankly upon hearing this:

"I just turned 18 a few days ago."

"A few days ago?"

Xu Han's eyes widened instantly, and he asked in disbelief, "Then you weren't even an adult when you died?"

“I think so,” Yu Shijiu nodded indifferently. “I don’t remember my birthday very clearly, but according to my memory, it should have been a few days ago.”

So Yu Shijiu was very happy when Lu Chusheng bought her a cake.

"That's not really a good idea..."

Xu Han was genuinely feeling a bit sad. He had never experienced any major setbacks growing up; the only bad thing was that he got sick and died. Otherwise, he might have been a very happy person.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Xu Han patted Yu Shijiu's shoulder and winked at her.

"If you join our team in the future, as long as you like, I guarantee you'll have a birthday celebration every day, eating cake and blowing out candles!"

"Really?"

Yu Shijiu, who had been somewhat downcast, instantly perked up and said:

"Can we eat cake every day?"

Xu Han waved his hand generously and said, "Of course! Tell me what flavor of cake you want! I'll buy it for you!"

A small cake only costs a few dozen or a hundred points; if you're frugal, you can still buy it with a little extra money...

"Would you like a big cake like the ones downstairs?"

Yu Shijiu asked curiously.

“Of course—” Xu Han shuddered, “What?”

"The cake downstairs," Yu Shijiu winked at him, her voice sweet.

"Can you buy such a big cake every day?"

Xu Han: "..."

He stiffly tilted his head, coughed violently, and his feet involuntarily turned in a different direction as he walked towards the head of the bed.

"Well, that big cake, well, how should I put it, haha, well, I guess I can't do it right now. That big cake is just too big, isn't it? If I can't finish it, it'll just gather dust."

Yu Shijiu watched with great interest as Xu Han bent over and opened a drawer with his back to her, his pupils flashing with pleasure for a moment.

Although it was just a casual remark, Xu Han's flustered and awkward manner was quite amusing.

This team is quite interesting.

Yu Shijiu thought.

"Come on, let's eat some of this first, it's delicious!"

Having obtained his hidden stash of snacks, Xu Han immediately turned around, carrying several bags of snacks, and walked towards Yu Shijiu, clearing his throat as he said:

"Brother Chen and Sister An will probably be cooking for a while. How about we sit here, watch the live stream, and chat for a bit?"

Yu Shijiu's gaze shifted to Xu Han, who was clearly a little embarrassed, and finally to the snacks that the other had just taken out. He smiled slightly and nodded obediently.

"it is good."

"..."

Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.

He quickly walked to the large-screen TV facing the bed and sofa, pressed the switch, randomly selected a channel where players were completing a game, and walked back to Yu Shijiu to hand him the remote control.

"Here, Shi Jiu, pick whatever you want to see. I'll go get you some drinks."

Yu Shijiu took the remote control and nodded obediently. He walked to the sofa, sat down, and started opening the snack bag.

The packaging of these snacks in town is quite different from that outside. There are almost no colorful packaging styles; most of them are transparent bags, and the contents, such as dried fruit and spicy strips, are clearly visible.

Yu Shijiu curiously tore open a package that was clearly for spicy strips. Just as he was being drawn in by the faint smell of spiciness, Xu Han, who had already opened the door, turned around and called out.

"Shi Jiu, what do you like to drink?"

Yu Shijiu, who had already lowered his head to bite into a spicy snack, thought: "...Me?"

"Yeah, I'll just take whatever you like to drink. Brother Chen has prepared a lot of drinks."

Yu Shijiu thought about it for a long time before finally saying, "...Then, milk it is."

The "nutritional package" at the sanatorium sometimes includes a bottle of milk without any packaging. This usually only happens once a month. It tastes alright, sweet, and much better than tasteless water.

"Okay, then I'll get you a bottle of milk."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he walked out of the room, making sure to close the door behind him.

"Click——"

As the door lock closed, the previously lively atmosphere instantly quieted down. Yu Shijiu glanced at the large screen in front of her, which was not making any sound, and curiously took a bite of a spicy snack.

As the unique spiciness of the spicy strips and certain flavorful notes burst onto his taste buds, Yu Shijiu couldn't help but cough.

"Cough cough cough-"

Yu Shijiu coughed several times with tears in her eyes, then stuck out her tongue, which was red from the spiciness, and stared at the spicy strip in her hand for several seconds in disbelief.

How can it be so spicy?

Are all spicy snacks this spicy?

but……

Yu Shijiu licked the chili oil around his lips and couldn't resist taking another bite of a spicy strip and putting it in his mouth.

really tasty.

----------

After leaving the room, Xu Han slumped down and walked weakly toward the refrigerator.

His dejected aura immediately caught the attention of Anjie, who was helping out.

"what happened?"

Anjie asked casually.

Xu Han opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of milk and his favorite juice, and said dejectedly:

"I was just bragging."

Anjie glanced up at him, a half-smile on her face, and said, "When did you start bragging? What, did Shi Jiu shut you up?"

Anjie hadn't forgotten how Yu Shijiu had verbally attacked NPCs in the game instance.

"How could that be!" Xu Han straightened his back instantly at the mention of Yu Shijiu.

"Shi Jiu is such a nice and well-behaved person! How could she possibly argue with me!"
