Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 204 Brave

Upon hearing this, Xu Han let out a howl and quickly untied the apron around his waist, throwing it directly onto the hook next to him.

The apron was hung precisely on the hook.

Xu Han rushed straight towards Yu Shijiu, and before Yu Shijiu could even react, he grabbed her shoulder and exclaimed excitedly:

"Come on! Let me show you my room. I have a huge TV in my room, it's so great to watch live TV while lying in bed! There's also a little table specifically for putting snacks in bed!"

Yu Shijiu was completely bewildered by his embrace, but showed no intention of breaking free.

He merely glanced at Fatty, who was lounging casually on the living room sofa, and remained strangely silent for a few seconds.

Why did he feel that Fatty seemed more like a self-aware guest?

Feifei noticed Yu Shijiu's gaze, paused slightly in its obsession with eating a peach, and meowed softly at Yu Shijiu.

Meow! I'm a little tired! This cat needs a rest too!

Yu Shijiu, who roughly understood the meaning in Feifei's eyes: "..."

Yu Shijiu was thus embraced by the enthusiastic Xu Han all the way to his room.

Although... Yu Shijiu didn't know why Xu Han suddenly wasn't afraid of her anymore.

Even though Xu Han seemed to be a little afraid of himself when he was at the Aide Sanatorium, it was clear that he was still somewhat afraid of himself.

Can you treat yourself with enthusiasm even if you are afraid of yourself?

Yu Shijiu was somewhat puzzled.

In other words, Xu Han had no idea what he was thinking.

If Xu Han knew this, he would be so excited he'd want to punch a hole in the ceiling.

God knows, who wouldn't be terrified of Yu Shijiu, the blood-soaked monster-hunting guy at the Aider Sanatorium who even "gives away" his brains?! It's not the person himself that's scary! It's the things he does that's terrifying!

As the two figures disappeared into the room, Anjie also came out of the room.

She belatedly recalled the two "brothers" she had inadvertently seen earlier, their arms around each other's shoulders, and opened her mouth:

"Xu Han and Shi Jiu are such good friends?"

Chen Yi, who was busy looking for shrimp, seaweed and other items, peeked out from beside the cupboard and shook his head helplessly.

"Xu Han is always talking about us in front of us, but now that Yu Shijiu is here, he's become the most enthusiastic one."

Anjie smiled and said, "He was just saying it casually on the surface."

In fact, if Yu Shijiu really came to their place, Xu Han would probably be the happiest one.

Xu Han must be ecstatic to finally find a player who isn't too strict with him and is even the same age as him.

Chen Yi smiled and placed the dried shrimp, seaweed, and other seasonings on the table, glancing at the hanging clock next to him.

"Are you sure you don't want to invite He Lingling to come over for a meal?"

Chen Yi asked.

"..."

Anjie hesitated for a few seconds, then finally shook her head.

“Next time,” Anjie said. “This time it was just a meal for Yu Shijiu alone. He Lingling is probably still in the game instance right now.”

Just as Yu Shijiu was about to clear the game, He Lingling suddenly sent An Jie a message saying that she had temporarily teamed up with others to enter a game instance.

"She's really hardworking."

Chen Yi sighed, then quickly began preparing the ingredients and started boiling water.

"Tonight's main dish is dumplings, so I won't cook rice, is that okay?"

Before boiling the water, Chen Yi didn't forget to ask An Jie a question.

Anjie immediately rejected the idea.

"We need to cook rice," Anjie said, picking up a washed cucumber from the side and taking a bite, her words muffled.

"I'm so hungry right now."

The consequence of being too hungry is that if you don't stuff something into your stomach, you feel like you're being pricked with needles all over your body.

Well, it's not much different from addiction.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, but glanced at the rice cooker not far away and gestured for An Jie to adjust the switch herself.

Anjie walked to the side and pressed the cook button, her gaze lingering on the plump dumplings next to Chen Yi for several moments.

"Yu Shijiu likes to eat dumplings, and she also likes to eat cake..."

Anjie said softly, "His tastes aren't that hard to cater to."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile: "He's still just a child."

Anjie didn't say anything.

She gazed at the dumplings, and her eyes suddenly became misty because of Chen Yi's words "children."

Yes, in the past, neither she nor anyone else could resist the temptation of a "dumpling".

Whether in reality or in the game Dawn, everyone needs food to survive.

inside the room.

As soon as Xu Han entered the room, he excitedly pressed the switch. The moment the room, which belonged only to him, lit up, the many dolls were the first thing that caught Yu Shijiu's eye.

There were many cute dolls of different shapes on the bed, chairs, windowsills... and even on the table with a lot of things on it.

"I... I prefer these kinds of plush toys," Xu Han said, seemingly a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, picked up a plush toy from the table, and handed it to Yu Shijiu.

“My mom used to tell me that these are things little girls like to play with, but every time she comes to the hospital to see me, she still brings a different doll.”

Over time, you get used to it.

Yu Shijiu took the doll that Xu Han casually handed over, and his gaze lingered on the exquisitely crafted white sheep doll with its curly fur for a long time.

"Your mother is very good to you."

Yu Shijiu said.

“Hey,” Xu Han said a little embarrassed, “My mom is good to me, but she’s busy. She has a ton of things to do at the company every day, so she doesn’t have much time to spend with me.”

Yu Shijiu looked up at him slightly, surprised, and asked, "Didn't your mother always take care of you when you were little?"

“…No,” Xu Han actually thought about it carefully:

"She was very busy every day, busy making money, busy attending meetings, busy traveling on business... she was just very, very busy. Later she wasn't so busy anymore, but unfortunately I got sick at the time."

“My mom wasn’t busy when I was little,” Yu Shijiu said calmly, gently tugging at the little sheep’s ear.

“She’s not busy at all. She’s with me every day and night. She eats with me, helps me get dressed and goes out to play. She’s with me all the time except when she’s sleeping.”

Yu Shijiu said.

Xu Han's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a howl:

"That's great! When I was little, I wished my mom could be with me every day, playing with me, eating with me and stuff. You were so lucky when you were little."

Xu Han was genuinely envious.

His mother was too busy with her career to care for him when he was young, and when he finally had time to himself after he grew up, he fell ill.

I can only say that I had bad luck.

"What about your dad?"

Yu Shijiu suddenly asked.

Xu Han paused for a second, then said nonchalantly, "He cheated on me when I was three years old, and my mother kicked him after she found out."

"The kind where you leave with nothing."

Xu Han laughed as he said this, clearly indicating that his father had little influence on him.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Shijiu looked up and smiled.

"Your mother is very brave."
