Xu Qichen’s injuries got better fairly quickly.
After all, it was a virtual world within the control of the system. Even if he was seriously injured, Xu Qichen would only have to turn to the system AI for help.
“Do you have a stronger medicine?”
0901 complained: “Mr. Xu, this is already the best one. Are you addicted?”
“I just don’t want to go to the hospital.”
The wounds on his body, regardless of their severity or appearance, were difficult to explain in a way that would not be suspicious. He also learned that Doctor Zhang from the private clinic could only cure demons and not people, so Xu Qichen could not go anywhere.
“Mr. Xu, I think you have changed a lot in this world. The decisions you made in an emergency situation were completely outside of my expectations.”
Xu Qichen did not say anything.
It was undeniable that in the past he was indeed an uninteresting pessimist with low self-esteem and full of self-doubt. The him that created this world was especially so.
Comparing the past him to the current him, even he found it hard to believe.
How should he put it?
“I realised that for someone as stubborn as me, the only thing that has the power to change me is liking something to the point that I would never be able to give it up.”
As he buttoned up his shirt, the long lost system interface suddenly appeared in front of him.
The giant ‘Congratulations!’ bounced up and down.
“Are you finally done with the calculation?”
0901: “Yes, Mr. Xu, please check and accept it.”
The interface displayed a value of 15300 points. This amount was acceptable, so Xu Qichen approved it. Then he knocked on Mu Yao’s door frantically.
“Mu Yao, come out! Don’t you have a class in the first period?”
The door finally opened after knocking on it for a while. Mu Yao stood at the threshold with his bedhead and an expression of confusion. “I don’t wanna go…”
“No, get ready and we’ll go out together.”
Since the two escaped the disaster, Mu Yao was being dragged to school by Xu Qichen every morning.
“I’m leaving. I don’t think I’ll be able to come back at noon. Eat in the canteen before coming home, okay?” Xu Qichen was standing on one foot, holding the wall, trying to stuff his other foot into the second shoe, while instructing, “By the way, your jersey is drying outside the window. Remember to bring it in. The weather forecast says this afternoon it will…”
Before he could finish the sentence, the tie on his neck was suddenly grabbed, and he was pulled into Mu Yao’s arms.
Mu Yao held his tie in one hand and his waist with the other.
Xu Qichen’s nose was against his chin. He widened the gap between them slightly.
“… rain.”
His heart was thumping loudly.
“Senior, are you raising me as your son?”
Xu Qichen paused.
Indeed, he was being a little… naggy.
Mu Yao loosened the hand holding the tie, pointed his finger at his lips, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Qichen looked into Mu Yao’s eyes, “What?”
“My goodbye kiss ah.”
He’s addicted to kissing, this guy.
Xu Qichen reached out, lowered Mu Yao’s head and kissed him.
“That’s too perfunctory.”
Mu Yao instantly switched into wolf mode. He picked Xu Qichen up and put him on the cabinet beside the door.
“Hey, this thing isn’t stable…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll catch you.” Stopping Xu Qichen’s words, he kissed him. The tip of his tongue easily broke past Xu Qichen’s teeth, and asweet and spicy minty breath instantly rushed in. After being invaded, Xu Qichen’s unconscious exhale was swallowed by Mu Yao’s hot and humid mouth.
Xu Qichen’s whole body suddenly became soft and numb. He fell towards Mu Yao, but Mu Yao pushed him back against the slightly cool wall behind him. The hand that was originally against the cabinet was picked up and their fingers were held interlocked against the wall. Xu Qichen raised his other hand to hold Mu Yao’s neck. The stubble of the newly cut hair rubbed against his soft palm, tickling him.
The kiss gave rise to contradictory feelings in Xu Qichen. When it was fierce, the undulating desire pressed on his throat, almost choking him in its intensity, but when it was gentle, it almost stuffed the all softness in the world into his arms, like clouds, the sweetest dreams, and the wispiest cotton candy.
Mu Yao’s right hand cupped Xu Qinchen’s jaw before it slyly started playing with the small earlobe, rubbing and pinching it in equal pleasure and pain.
At first, Xu Qichen felt like he had turned into a pool of syrup, slowly dripping along the edges of the wall and the cabinet, but it was only now that he found out that he was mistaken. That he wasn’t a pool of sugar syrup but a combustible fuel, with an extremely low ignition point. In a subtle move, Mu Yao ignited the flammable liquid fuel in his hands, who with a boom, burst into towering flames.
Although it was already autumn, the kiss made them burn like the hot midsummer, with nothing to diffuse their steamy breaths.

“Wu!” Mu Yao immediately let go of him and put his hand over his painful mouth.
Xu Qichen rested both hands on the cabinet behind him, panting heavily.
Seeing the other party staring at him fiercely, Mu Yao showed him his bitten tongue and raised the corners of his mouth. The exposed sharp teeth reflected his pride in being bitten. He then stretched out his hand to help him button up the collar and seriously tie his tie for him.
He then used his thumb to wipe the corners of his mouth, planted a small peck, then said, “Okay, go to work.”
When he saw Xu Qichen’s legs give out when he tried to stand up, he could not resist laughing.
“Come back soon.”
He must move the cabinet somewhere else.
That was what Xu Qichen thought as he left the house.
Working days are always busy. He had long heard about the inhumane working hours of this industry. People have a saying to describe the profession of a programmer – more money, less words, and early death. Now it seemed that the saying was entirely right. However, his colleagues being not very good at chatting actually made Xu Qichen feel very relieved.
It seemed like in no time at all it was Friday. Xu Qichen left the office early and went home to get changed. He then picked up the textbook and went to school, only to find that Mu Yao had not come to class yet. Just as he was about to give him a call, his phone rang.
“Hello? Why aren’t you here yet? Probability is starting soon.”
The other end was noisy and Mu Yao’s voice sounded strange, as though he was upset about something. “… I was just about to tell you, I’m on leave.”
Xu Qichen asked, “Why?”
Even after hesitating for a long time, Mu Yao could not give him a straight answer. Then his phone was snatched away and someone else spoke.
“Senior!!”
It was Qi Meng.
“Senior, after class, you have to come down to the plaza beside the clock tower okay? The anime club is holding an event, it’ll be super fun! Aiaiai, Xiao Cang, help me out! Grab that dog, I’m not done speaking.”
There was a bit of noise before the phone was back in Mu Yao’s hands.
“You should go home after class ba, I might be a little late.”
Mu Yao’s seemed a little down, but the background was full of excited noises. Xu Qichen could almost imagine the chaos around him.
[No ah! Senior! You have to come!! The dog is going to wuwuwu…]
Then there was the beeping sound of the call being cut off.
Strange.
After listening carefully in the class, Xu Qichen felt refreshed, as if mathematics, which he had been afraid of before, was not so difficult after all.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was called back by the Mediterranean.
Is he about to get scolded again?
Xu Qichen was a little worried, but he obediently went up to his desk.
The professor was busy tidying up the desk and spoke without even looking up, “How has your internship been?”
Xu Qichen paused, “… It’s okay.”
“I read the opening report and outline you handed in a few days ago,” the Mediterranean raised his head, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and put them in his pocket. “It’s not bad. Maintain this attitude from now on.”
Ai? Is he praising him?
“You’re the first person I know to wake up suddenly in your fourth year.” He shook his head. “But at least you woke up, keep working hard ba.”
His mood instantly became very good.
No matter how distant a person was, being praised would always make one happy.
Xu Qichen was so happy that he almost forgot about the phone call earlier. He went to the canteen to buy a purple sweet potato cake and prepared to go home.
It wasn’t until he saw a banner at the entrance of the canteen, which said ‘Club Activity Month’ that Xu Qichen suddenly recalled the call from earlier.
A small band was performing in the open space and a good-looking singer was singing in front of the audience.
Then it hit him that it was club activity month, which meant that the anime club was also having an activity.
So he decided to go and have a look. It had been a while since he last saw Xiao Cang and Mengmeng.
Sure enough, although he remembered this matter, Xu Qichen still forgot Mu Yao’s frustrated and firm refusal. Carrying the cake, he bought several cups of milk tea and walked happily towards the plaza.
Strangely, before even reaching there, he saw a huge crowd of people. This scene was even more exaggerated than the scene of a popular idol’s arrival at the airport.
Although he had seen all kinds of club events along the way, even the etiquette club full of beautiful women did not have such a large audience.
Did everyone like 2D so much?
Xu Qichen stood on the steps of the nearby clock tower and looked around. He couldn’t see his friends. He tried to call Mu Yao, but his phone was switched off, so he could only call Qi Meng. As soon as the call went through, she shouted excitedly, “Senior! Are you here?!”
“En. But I can’t get in ah, you guys are too popular.”
Qi Meng’s voice suddenly got softer, as though she was whispering a secret.
“Don’t worry senior, I’ll come out to get you.”
Something felt wrong…
As he was going down the stairs, he distantly saw a pair of rabbit ears, jumping and squeezing through the airtight crowd.
“Excuse me, let me through, excuse me.”
There were screams of ‘Aaaah! So cute!!’ as she passed by.
The pair of rabbit ears finally came to a stop in front of Xu Qichen, who felt awkward from the stares he was getting, especially when he heard [So Bunny likes this kind of guy ah, he looks so shou.]
The first half was a complete misunderstanding, and the second…
Okay, he had nothing to say.
“Senior! You’re finally here!” Qi Meng was wearing a long black wig and an otaku favourite; a maid’s uniform. She grabbed Xu Qichen’s arm, “Come with me! I have arranged a super duper surprise for you!”
With a confusion marring his face, Xu Qichen let himself be dragged inside. “So your theme is animal-eared maids?”
“Bingo! Senior you’re the cleverest.” Qi Meng looked small, but she was strong. Grabbing Xu Qichen along, she managed to weave them through the crowd in no time at all.
Is this the legendary ‘innate talent’?
Thanks to Qi Meng, they finally made it to the event location, which was a semi-outdoor cafe. Clearly, a lot of work had gone into setting it up and it looked really nice.
“I put in a lot of work to get the sponsors. Senior, take a seat.”
Xu Qichen, who was pushed by Qi Meng onto a seat, was a little embarrassed. “Are those people outside queueing to come in?”
“Not entirely. Some are just here to look.”
Xu Qichen nodded. Then he noticed a table not too far away. There was nothing special about the table, but the guest…
It was Ning Zheng!
Hey, is the hero of the police force so free?
Just as he was about to ask Qi Meng about him, Xu Qichen saw Xiao Cang, who was also wearing a maid’s outfit, carefully carry a cup of coffee to that table and gently put it down. His ears were trembling.
“You guys… you don’t even need props for cosplay.”
Hearing Xu Qichen’s comment, Qi Meng giggled and called out, “Hey, dog!”
Only then did Xu Qichen recall Mu Yao’s attitude on the call.
He looked around and his heart nearly stopped from the shock.
Mu Yao, who was over 1.9 meters tall, was actually wearing a black-and-white lace bordered maid outfit, white elbow-length lace embroidered silk gloves, and a big black head piece. There were even two furry black ears on his head.
“How is it? Surprised? Like it?”
The moment Mu Yao saw Xu Qichen, he froze, then immediately turned around and walked away, pretending nothing had happened. But he was quickly grabbed by Qi Meng and dragged in front of Xu Qichen.
He even wore makeup?
Xu Qichen stared at Mu Yao unblinkingly.
Once he accepted this new setting…
He laughed so hard that he could not even sit upright.
“What are you laughing at ah…?” The vein at Mu Yao’s temple was jumping. He held a delicate coffee cup in two hands, almost crushing it. “I told you to go home ah.”
Xu Qichen turned his head to scan him once again from head to toe, before tearing up from laughter.
Surprisingly, he looked pretty good.
Aside from being too tall, and his overly broad shoulders, you couldn’t say anything bad about his face, and his skin had always been very good. Although his features were fierce, the thick makeup suited him, and the red lipstick made him look like a cool big sister.
“Stop looking…” Mu Yao put the coffee down in front of Xu Qichen. “If you’re done looking, go home.”
Xu Qichen picked up the coffee, his eyes never leaving the violent maid in front of him. “I’m not done looking.”
“You…”
Xu Qichen suddenly thought of something. He put the cup down and walked behind Mu Yao. Then he exclaimed, “Tail!” And grabbed it.
It was so furry and comfortable ah.
Mu Yao shivered violently and grabbed Xu Qichen’s wrist. He pushed him back into his seat and stomped back to the barista’s counter.
Xu Qichen was a little confused. He looked at Qi Meng, who was giggling behind her hands, and asked, “What’s up with him?”
“Don’t you know? You mustn’t touch a dog’s tail.”
Is that so?
But it really felt really nice ah. Although it looked like a wolf’s tail, it was very soft to touch.
Some strange attribute rose in his body. Wherever Mu Yao went, Xu Qichen’s eyes would follow him, until the other party finally couldn’t stand it and walked up to Xu Qichen, “Why haven’t you gone home?”
Xu Qichen took the initiative to take the cheesecake from Mu Yao’s hands and put it on his table. Then he answered seriously, “I want to go home with you.”
“You…” Mu Yao’s flaming red lips twitched slightly and changed into a flattering expression, “Go home first ba, Senior. It’s embarrassing…”
“Who’s embarrassing?”
“Me ah!”
“I don’t think so ah.” Xu Qichen casually ate the cake and met Mu Yao’s eyes seriously, “I think you’re very pretty.”
“…”
Whenever it came to times like this, Mu Yao had no choice but to give in.
Xu Qichen stared at the beauty in front of him while he enjoyed the cake. Only after finishing it did he realise that a crowd of girls had gathered around him. They swarmed in, even the anime club’s security could not block them.
“Mu Yao! Aaaa! So beautiful! Save me!”
“What a beautiful big sister! Aaaah! I’ve been bent into a mosquito coil!”
“Too beautiful! The most beautiful cross-dresser I’ve ever seen!”
They were really crazy…
Seeing the scene getting more and more difficult to control, Qi Meng bumped Mu Yao’s shoulder: “Dog, I think you should go to the back or our cafe will be demolished.”
Mu Yao glared at Qi Meng and was about to speak. Qi Meng was immediately forthright and afraid, she patted Mu Yao on the shoulder and said with a righteous face, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell the senior about you wanting to borrow my book!”
Mu Yao gritted his teeth. “If you dare to speak about it, I will tear your three-part lips into thirty parts…”
Qi Meng guiltily pulled at Mu Yao’s collar, “Don’t be so fierce ma, Dog-ge, you should pay more attention to your image.”
Mu Yao, who deeply felt that he had not been careful in making friends, put down the plate in his hand, marched furiously to Xu Qichen’s table and grabbed him while he was mid chat with Xiao Cang.
“What?”
“We’re leaving this damned place.”
Then, uncaring of the crowd, he dragged Xu Qichen through it. Unexpectedly, when the fans saw that Mu Yao had disappeared, they immediately sounded the alarm. A large number of girls immediately appeared in the small square of the campus to catch up with a tall beauty.
Mu Yao was fast, but Xu Qichen could not keep up at all, shouting, “I can’t run anymore!”
Left with no other choice, Mu Yao quickly scanned their surroundings. There was a recently renovated old building nearby. He pushed the [Construction in progress, keep out] sign aside and dragged Xu Qichen in, then quickly put the sign back in place.
He then dragged him up to the third floor, and followed the corridor all the way to the end, where they found a men’s washroom with another [Construction in progress, keep out] sign hung on it. Mu Yao tried the door, which actually opened. There was nobody inside, so he closed the door and brought Xu Qichen to the last cubicle and locked the door.
The world was finally quiet again.
Xu Qichen who was half dead from exhaustion, sat down on the covered toiletbowl. Mu Yao looked at him. “What’s that in your hand?”
“Xiao Cang gave me a lollipop, it’s a gift for visiting the cafe.”
The moment the cafe was mentioned, Mu Yao’s anger rose again. He was about to pull off his wig but was stopped by Xu Qichen.
“Don’t ah.” Xu Qichen grabbed his arm. “It looks so good.”
“If you like it you should wear it yourself.”
Xu Qichen laughed, “I like it on you.” Then he opened the lollipop.
“Can you eat that even in this place?”
Xu Qichen pouted, “Nobody has used this place since the summer holidays, it’s fine.” He put the lollipop in his mouth and frowned. With his mouth full, he said, “It’s sour,” and looked at the wrapper.
Lemon and lime flavoured.
Two of the sourest fruits combined together. Xu Qichen shuddered.
“Is that so?” Mu Yao stepped on the side of the toiletbowl and plucked the lollipop from Xu Qichen’s mouth. “Let me try.”
Xu Qichen did not stop him, “It’s really sour, you…”
But Mu Yao did not even try the lollipop. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed him.
Why did he feel that this move was… Really familiar?
