"My boyfriend seems to be...cheating on me."
The lyrical song "My Heart Willon" was playing in the coffee shop. Low laughter came from the couple who were dating at the next table. The surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of romantic and ambiguous filter. Xia Qigang's words were like a third party inserted between a couple, which seemed to particularly destroy the atmosphere.
"Are you serious?" The barista who was serving a cup of mocha froth trembled, and the heart-shaped milk foam on the mocha turned into a pile of poop. He sighed in frustration and said hesitantly, "He just rarely comes home. You don't suspect that he is cheating on you, do you?"
"He hasn't returned home at night for two months." The man standing at the counter and talking to the barista was a young man named Xia Qi.
He was probably in his twenties, very tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored waiter uniform, which made him look like a tuxedo with a retro and elegant feel, attracting the girls who came to place orders to turn their heads frequently.
However, he seemed to have no interest in the girl who glanced at him. His pair of peach blossom eyes, which were filled with a hint of melancholy, were slightly drooped. His thick and slightly curled eyelashes cast a butterfly-wing-like shadow on his fair face, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight arc.
The barista glanced at the depressed Xia Qi and continued to comfort him: "But this doesn't prove that he cheated, right?"
"There's more." Xia Qi's throat rolled, he opened his phone and swiped to a WeChat post.
“《Ten signs of a cheating man! If you don’t share this, you are not Chinese!》”
"… "
This shocking name made the barista's pupils tremble, but for the sake of his colleague's face, he continued to read on and read it out -
"Sign 1: When you touch his phone, he acts like a gangster meeting a young lady?"
"yes."
"Sign 2: Have you recently put on makeup, a suit, and combed your hair like an adult?"
"He used to be a slovenly man."
"Sign three: I used to call you Madam Niu, but now I'm calling you Sweetie?"
"I've called you the wrong name ten times recently, and each time it was a different name."
“… Awesome, awesome.”
It felt like Xia Qi's forehead was about to glow green. The barista pushed the Poop Mocha forward and said, "I added three times the sugar. After drinking it, you will find the sweetness of love again."
"Thanks."
Xia Qi looked up expressionlessly and downed the mocha in one gulp. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He turned around and was about to take the porcelain cup away when suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the glass door.
The man was wearing the iconic red and grey plaid Kensington-style coat. The epaulette design on his shoulders made his shoulder and neck lines more three-dimensional, giving him the demeanor of an urban modernist. At this moment, on his right hand, which was exposed from under his buckled cuffs, he was wearing a black and gold ring that was very aristocratic.
"Cha Gong?" Xia Qi's eyes were stung by the dazzling light of the ring and he couldn't help but cry out.
The barista leaned over to look at the door and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that programmer Lao Cha could be so decent."
At this time, the green light on the sidewalk outside the glass window came on, and Cha Gong walked across the sidewalk carrying his business leather bag. Xia Qi put the cup on the counter, left a message "I'm skipping work today", and immediately chased him out the door.
The barista smiled bitterly. Xia Qi was known for skipping work to catch a cheating husband. Tomorrow the boss would definitely come and ask why the sales had shrunk by half.
Xia Qi ran across the street at the last moment when the green light came.
Cha Gong's walking speed became very fast at this time, and it was completely different from before when he had to be supported by someone after climbing a flight of stairs, panting.
Cha Gong arrived at a five-star hotel and walked into the elevator after entering the door.
Xia Qi quickly caught up with him. When the elevator attendant saw Xia Qi wearing the uniform like a model, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"Which floor did the gentleman just go to?"
"The 18th floor." The waiter looked at him as the future face of the hotel and swiped his card in the elevator: "The manager is waiting for you on the third floor for an interview..."
Xia Qi loosened his tie and did not have time to explain this beautiful misunderstanding. After saying "thank you" to the waiter, he quickly got on the elevator and pressed the button "18th floor".
After the elevator door opened, Xia Qi walked out of the elevator quickly and saw a piece of Cha Gong's clothes floating around the corner.
His heart began to beat violently, and Xia Qi quickly chased after him. Not far away, Cha Gong just opened a door, and a soft voice came from inside the door: "Brother Cha, you are finally here."
From the voice, Xia Qi heard joy, dependence and some unknown ambiguity. It was as if there were ice chips mixed in his blood, and his whole heart was instantly frozen.
Cha Gong walked into the room without even noticing someone was rushing towards him. At the last moment when he closed the door with his backhand, Xia Qi also arrived at the door!
With a "pop" sound!
Xia Qi's hands made a dull sound when they hit the door, and then he pushed the door inwards with force.
"Who is it?!" Cha Gong was pushed two steps forward by the door and asked in an unpleasant tone.
He suddenly turned around, and when he saw the person coming outside the door, his expression changed drastically.
"Xia Qi? Why are you here!" Cha Gong's face turned pale.
"Who is he?" Xia Qi's eyes were red, and his gaze passed over his shoulder and fell on the young master behind Cha Gong.
This was a person with a temperament quite similar to his. The only difference was that the well-dressed young master Bai Lianhua exuded an air of innocence and nobility all over his body, like an unpolished jade, just like him a long time ago before he entered society.
The young master was holding something like a check in his hand, and from his gestures, it seemed that he was about to hand the check to Cha Gong.
It is obvious that all the high-end goods on Cha Gong come from here.
"Xia Qi, I will explain to you later." Seeing Xia Qi walk into the door, Cha Gong hurriedly stopped him with a flustered look.
Xia Qi closed his eyes, then opened them again and said calmly, "Cha Gong, let's break up."
"No!" Cha Gong didn't expect Xia Qi to be so straightforward. His face flushed red and his voice was full of pleading, "Xia Qi, listen to my explanation!"
The two men were about the same height. Xia Qi was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, the second hand of the clock hanging on the wall opposite him slid to the right and coincided with the minute hand, and all the hands pointed to 12:00.
“Ding, ding, ding—”
Three clear bell sounds were heard.
Xia Qi had never heard such beautiful bell sounds, which sounded like heavenly music. What was even more bizarre was that after the bell rang, the lingering sound lingered for a long time, as if lingering in his mind.
He looked at the two people opposite him in confusion, and suddenly felt dizzy and his head was aching like needles.
Obviously, Cha Gong and the young master also heard this overly beautiful voice.
However, the expressions of the two people opposite did not look like they heard heavenly music. Instead, their faces were filled with fear, as if they had just attended a funeral symphony concert.
The young master was so scared that he burst into tears, grabbed Cha Gong's arm, and shouted, "Here we go, it's game time!"
"What are you doing?!" Xia Qi staggered two steps. Why did he feel dizzy? "Explain it to me clearly."
"Stay away from Brother Cha!"
The young master didn't expect Xia Qi to come over, and instinctively waved to pat him, but when his right hand was about to touch Xia Qi, he accidentally threw the ticket in his hand towards the other party.
Seeing the ticket flying towards his face, Xia Qi raised his hand and tried to wave it away, but the ticket hit his palm without him feeling anything.
Xia Qi turned over his palm and saw a shadow of a ticket in his palm. Then, the ticket slowly shrank and disappeared in his palm!
"What's this… "
Before Xia Qi could question the shocked young master, suddenly, a black vortex appeared behind Cha Gong and the young master and quickly sucked them in.
This supernatural event obviously frightened Xia Qi. He couldn't help but take two steps back and looked down at his clean palms, his mind full of doubts.
Why did the ticket just disappear in his hand
Why do man-eating black holes appear out of nowhere in five-star hotels
Before he could figure it out, the black vortex suddenly grew larger, and Xia Qi felt that his hand, which was hit by the ticket, was uncontrollably sucked into the vortex.
A huge pressure came down on him, and Xia Qi watched helplessly as the black vortex swallowed him.
Then, his eyes went dark.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Qi gradually woke up.
In the dark space, a line of words appeared before his eyes.
Check if the survivor has an S-level item lottery ticket. Do you want to participate in the lottery
whether
Xia Qi was stunned: What is this
He blinked and found that the words in front of him had not disappeared. He turned his head again and found that the words had followed him, as if they were imprinted in his mind.
He couldn't help but wonder, was this a prank by Cha Gong and the young master
"Choose 'yes'." He wanted to see what would happen if he chose "yes".
After making his choice, the white font in front of him quickly disappeared, and a huge, colorful supermarket lucky roulette wheel appeared in the darkness. However, the prizes on the colorful roulette wheel were very unfamiliar. They were all things that Xia Qi had never seen before. When it spun, he was dazzled.
The turntable kept spinning and finally stopped on a pink heart magic wand.
It was a very girly pink magic wand, with a pair of wings growing behind the little heart at the top, and an angel halo floating above the heart. Xia Qi had seen this style of magic wand before, and his friend's daughter loved to dance with it, and often shouted: "Balala energy, the little magic fairy changes all over!"
Before Xia Qi finished studying the magic wand, suddenly, the pink heart-shaped magic wand on the turntable seemed to have a spirit and flew towards him. Then, he felt a coolness in the palm of his right hand and grasped the pink magic wand.
Item name: True Love Magic Wand (bound).
Effect of use: Consume true love energy and recite your own love spell. The higher the true love value, the stronger the magic effect.

Other explanations: The game brings us together, so cherish this bond. Let us witness a passionate true love!
Xia Qi: “…”
Bizarre props, a mysterious and strange dark world, malicious and teasing words...
Is all this really a prank
He was thinking carefully when countless letters and numbers suddenly flashed in the darkness, forming strings of seemingly regular and beautiful codes. Before Xia Qi could understand them, those codes flew past quickly and formed layer after layer of translucent walls in front of him.
After a few seconds, the wall was stacked with nearly tens of thousands of layers of densely packed codes, which made people dizzy just by looking at it.
Just as he reached out to touch the code wall, the code wall suddenly moved downwards and pressed heavily towards him!
In the darkness, the lively electronic voice of the system came: "Dear survivor Xia Qi, welcome to the sin game."
