Gu Jiu subconsciously looked towards the door.
At just one glance, the dull expression on her face softened, and a bright smile blossomed on her fair face, like a suddenly blooming flower, transforming from an elegant ink painting into a vivid oil painting.
Her eyebrows and eyes were suddenly filled with joy.
Huo Ting and Chen Zhiru, who had been staring at her, were stunned.
They had known Gu Jiu for a long time and knew her temper. It was rare to see such a lively and joyful smile on her face.
She was always indifferent to people she didn't like or didn't want to deal with. Even when she smiled, it seemed perfunctory. But because of her elegant and delicate appearance, that perfunctory attitude became very beautiful, so people couldn't blame her.
Even someone as outstanding as Huo Ting rarely saw her looking so happy.
They subconsciously looked towards the door.
A tall and slender girl came in, with long black hair like crow feathers flowing down her face. Her eyebrows and eyes were darker than the night. Her long eyelashes were dense and curled, each one distinct. With her pale skin, she had a morbid beauty, like an exquisitely crafted puppet, not a real person.
"Aji, you are finally here."
Gu Jiu smiled at the girl who came in. Although she was still sitting there, too lazy to get up like a young lady, her body slightly leaning forward showed that she actually cared about the girl who came in.
Chai Yingying also waved her hands happily, "Lu Ji, we've been waiting for you for a long time." But in her heart she was cheering: Oh, Boss Lu is back, is he going to stage a Shura show? Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Jiang Ze also greeted Lu Ji politely.
Lu Ji walked in.
His eyes never left Gu Jiu after they landed on her. He walked up to her and said obediently, "Ajiu, I'm here."
Chai Yingying tactfully stood up and squeezed with Jiang Ze, giving her seat to him.
Lu Ji sat down next to Gu Jiu, then took her hand and held it tightly, squeezed his fingers between hers and interlocked theirs.
Very close.
Gu Jiu touched his face and asked with a smile: "Are you not hurt?"
Lu Ji shook his head, his voice a little low, "No, what about you?"
"Of course I don't have any either." Gu Jiu said with a smile, looking at his face with her eyes, liking every part of it.
Lu Ji felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Lu Ji, why did you come just now?" Chai Yingying asked, secretly glancing at the man and woman opposite her. She felt that the eldest lady and Lu Ji had done it so obviously, they should have realized that the two were a couple, right
Lu Ji said: "When I entered the town of Ella, I appeared at the edge of the town. It took me some time to find this place."
"So that's how it is." Chai Yingying asked sympathetically, "Have you encountered many monsters? Monsters are those dark monsters that appear in the fog."
“I encountered several of them.”
Jiang Ze also looked at him with admiration, "It's not easy for you to find this place successfully."
No wonder the players in the game Hunter like to call him "Big Brother Lu" and "Ji Mei", it turns out he is really a hidden big brother. But now this hidden big brother has become obedient and clingy in front of the young lady, with that sickly pretty face, and when he looks at people gloomily, he looks a bit like a yandere.
Whether or not she is a yandere is still debatable.
"Gu Jiu, is this your teammate?" Huo Ting suddenly asked.
He reluctantly turned his gaze from Gu Jiu to Lu Ji. He felt an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong.
Chen Zhiru didn't find anything wrong. Seeing Gu Jiu touching the girl, she just thought it was an intimate interaction between girls. After all, this young lady was famous for being very tolerant of girls in the real world. If there were pretty girls, she would bring them to her side, go out with her, and spend money to dress them up.
As a result, many girls like her.
Chen Zhiru has suffered this a lot since she was a child. She also wanted to fit in with those girls, but they didn't want to play with her because of Gu Jiu. They despised her for being the daughter of a mistress, despised her for not being presentable, and even more despised her for not being liked by Gu Jiu.
Listen, is this human language
As the daughter of a mistress, why would she try to please her mother's daughter after her mother finally became his legal wife
Although Lu Ji's mind was on Gu Jiu, due to some kind of natural male possessiveness, he keenly noticed that the man sitting opposite Gu Jiu looked at Gu Jiu with a strange look in his eyes.
He approached Gu Jiu calmly, and was almost about to fall into her arms weakly.
Seeing this scene, Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze: emmmmm…
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "This is Lu Ji, the person I like. Ah Ji, the two on the opposite side are Huo Ting and Chen Zhiru. They and I are players from the same world. Huo Ting is a family friend of the Gu family, and the other one is not important."
Being treated by the unimportant Chen Zhiru: “…”
Huo Ting suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing and asked hesitantly: "Gu Jiu, is this your friend?"
"It's the person I like, and we are dating." Gu Jiu said with a smile. Lu Ji is her boyfriend, but he is wearing women's clothes now, so it is not convenient to say he is her girlfriend, so she just said she is dating.
Unless you are mentally retarded, you will understand the meaning of "communication".
Chen Zhiru suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open, shock evident in his expression.
Chai Yingying glanced at her and felt that this girl's eyes were about to pop out, which looked particularly funny.
In contrast, Huo Ting just sat there without any reaction. In fact, his mind was blank and he seemed unable to understand what Gu Jiu said.
"Are you dating? She's a girl, right?" Chen Zhiru's voice was a little sharp.
Gu Jiu said: "Anyone with eyes can see it."
Lu Ji lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, she was very happy that Gu Jiu was so generous to introduce her to people in the real world. Although she knew that she completely accepted her, introducing her to the players of Wujie City was completely different from introducing her to people in the real world.
Chen Zhiru finally accepted the fact that Gu Jiu was dating a girl. After being shocked, she felt ecstatic.
She didn't expect that Gu Jiu was actually a homosexual.
No wonder Huo Ting chased after her and did so much for her in the past, but she remained indifferent. She originally thought it was because she was not yet an adult, and the eldest daughter of the Gu family was reserved and arrogant, so even the prince from the Jing City compound looked down on her. Who knew it was because she was actually a lesbian.
I heard that homosexuality is innate, so she definitely won't like men, so she is...
She turned to look at Huo Ting, but seeing the expression on Huo Ting's face, she felt discouraged again.
Gu Jiu pulled Lu Ji up and said, "We are going to go upstairs to rest. Please do as you please."
Lu Ji followed her obediently and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Huo Ting. Just then, he saw the other person staring at him, and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable.
Love is all about possessiveness and will not tolerate a third party, even a rival in love.
Chai Yingying watched Gu Jiu take the person upstairs and curled her lips.
There is no Shura Field. The eldest lady is too strong and controls everything, so the Shura Field cannot be opened.
Arriving at the guest room on the third floor, Gu Jiu opened the door and went in.
As soon as the door closed, she was hugged by someone. He leaned his head softly against her neck, and his voice sounded a little aggrieved. "Ajiu, what is your relationship with that man?"
"You mean Huo Ting? His family and the Gu family's ancestors are old friends."
"So you two grew up together?"
“I guess so.”
"… "
The man who was hugging her stopped talking, but tightened his hold on her.
Gu Jiu was somewhat amused. He lifted the head from the crook of his neck, kissed him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I only like Ah Ji."
Lu Ji blushed, and was overjoyed. He whispered, "Then you have to always like me."
"It depends on your performance."
Lu Ji sat on the only bed in the room, held her on his lap, and rested his head softly on her shoulder. His voice was also sweet, "I will always like Ajiu, and Ajiu must always like me..."
He lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in them.
Her boyfriend became clingy again, and Gu Jiu didn't mind. She pulled him to lie on the bed with clean sheets and mattress, and told him with her actions that she loved him the most now.
The guest rooms in the tavern are not soundproof, and you can hear the movements of the players next door, as well as the conversations of players in the corridor.
Lu Ji's pale face was dyed pink, his eyes were slightly narrowed, somewhat moist, and looked very delicious. He hugged his beloved girl with both hands, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.
"Aji, did you find anything when you came over there?" Gu Jiu asked, stroking his long hair.
Lu Ji said: "There is a barrier on the edge of the town. As long as the barrier is there, the town will be isolated from the outside world, and the creatures in the town cannot go out... The area of the town is not very large. It should be in the shape of a field, with six main streets and many alleys. The Witch Tavern is located in the center of the town..."
Gu Jiu gradually deduced the approximate topographic map of the town of Ella in his mind.
"I've come here all the way, but apart from encountering monsters, I haven't found anything." He said apologetically.
Gu Jiu kissed him and said with a smile: "It seems that the safe time between noon and 3 pm every day should be the time for players to look for the witch Ella. The rest of the time, you can stay in the tavern or go out for adventure."
Lu Ji hummed, "It's still early, do you want to go out?"
"No." Gu Jiu said, "It's almost five in the afternoon, and it will be dinner time soon. What are you going out for?"
Speaking of dinner time, Gu Jiu suddenly thought of a question.
"A disaster has befallen the town of Ella. I heard that it has been closed for more than a year. People are only allowed to enter but not leave. The food in the town should be almost consumed, right?"
The closed town, the terrifying monsters, the food shortage...
Lu Ji didn't say anything, just watched her think quietly.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chai Yingying plucked up the courage to come and knock on the door.
"Miss, it's dinner time. Do you want to come down to eat?"
The door opened after a while, and Gu Jiu and Lu Ji appeared. Seeing them both neatly dressed, Chai Yingying suddenly felt a little disappointed for some reason.
"What dinner?" Gu Jiu asked, "Does the tavern provide dinner for adventurers?"
The food in the town will only become increasingly scarce, and outsiders are not residents of the town, so it is impossible for them to be provided with food.
Chai Yingying said with a smile: "Yes, but there are conditions."
"The town will assign quests to adventurers, and providing food is considered a reward." Jiang Ze added, "Adventurers are required to pick mist grass in the woods east of the town."
