Although it was Xue Chong's brain twitch to accept apprentices, after that, Xue Chong unexpectedly experienced the joy of being a master.
Because his apprentice... is so well-behaved! Cute, obedient, impeccable.
The only thing that bothered me was that his apprentice liked to cuddle too much. This made Xue Chong, who usually doesn't like or get used to physical contact with others, feel a little uncomfortable.
But if you talk about patience, it doesn't mean you can't bear it, it's just that he will feel a little embarrassed.
Moreover, whenever he saw his apprentice Qiaoxiaoqianxi's smiling face, he couldn't bear to push her away.
Over time, Xue Chong gradually got used to it. And for some reason, when he saw his apprentice now, his face felt a little hot for some reason.
On this day, the two made an appointment to do a double mission together.
When Xue Chong went online, his apprentice Qing Zhi didn't seem to be online yet. Because he glanced at the online list, the color of Qingzhi was gray. And if he is online, the other party will definitely send him a private message voice at the first time, asking where he is.
Xue Chong stood there and thought about it, and decided to go directly to the mission point and wait for the other party to go online. Then start the task again.
Although he never liked to wait for others, if it was his apprentice Qing Zhi, it seemed that he would not be unacceptable.
…
Xue Chong stood at the mission point, and saw one player after another walking in front of Xue Chong, and the retail merchants who set up stalls not far away were about to go offline and began to close their stalls. At dusk, there were fewer and fewer players around, but Xue Chong still stood there motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, a pair of slender and white arms suddenly covered Xue Chong's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a delicate and light female voice sounded from beside my ear: "Guess who I am?"
Xue Chong smiled unconsciously, then pulled off the other party's hand, pretending to be displeased and said: "The public, don't mess around."
Qingzhi puffed up her cheeks, let go of her dissatisfaction, then suddenly hugged Xue Chong's waist, raised her head and asked him with an 'innocence' face: "Is that where no one is? Can you 'play around'?"
Xue Chong supported his forehead, feeling a little helpless, and said: "Qingzhi..."
Qing Zhi pouted, let go of her hand again, and complained in a low voice: "Master, I'm so boring... and Master, I said I called Qingqing or Zhi Zhi, why did I forget it again!"
Xue Chong's ears turned red, and he looked away unnaturally.
Uh... he couldn't scream.
Xue Chong was silent for two seconds, pretending to be calm and said: "Don't waste time here, let's do the task first."
Qingzhi: "Master is really old-fashioned... You are so young, but you are rigid like a little old man. Isn't it just one name... I can also be called Yeye..."
Qingzhi followed behind Xue Chong with a resentful expression on her face, but when her eyes inadvertently found Xue Chong's reddish ears, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised an arc.
…
The task they are taking now is simple and simple, but it is not simple if it is not simple.
This is a missing person mission.
Like other games, all the people-hunting tasks in the game, the so-called people-hunting, are just an introduction, and the real content is a series of troublesome processes that extend later.
For example, after finding the target person, he/she will not follow you directly, but only after meeting his/her needs, he/she will help you complete the task. Of course, in the process, a series of other small tasks can be derived, and even an infinite loop can be obtained.
In a nutshell, the task of finding people is definitely not the simple and easy search for people in the literal sense.
Just like now, the two of them managed to complete the initial mission and found the final goal, but the final goal person told them that if they didn't help him kill the enemy, they would never give them the token needed for the mission .
The NPC scratched his neck and cried, and said to the two of them: "My parents were killed by that traitor, and I can't take care of myself, so why would I want to help you find some messy letters! Apart from revenge, I have nothing to think about! Don't waste your words, please go back!"
After all, he didn't look at the two of them anymore, squatted down in self-pity, and called father and mother alone, sobbing.
I have to say [Apocalypse] is really lifelike in terms of character portrayal, if it is not because it is clear that this is just a game, looking at the expressions and demeanor of the NPC, it will almost make people think that this is reality.
Now that the NPCs have said this, the answer to what to answer is already very clear.
Qingzhi: "Then we will help you avenge, and you help us find the letter."
Because of Xue Chong's reticent temperament, when accepting tasks or talking to NPCs, his apprentice Qing Zhi usually answers.
From the corner of Qingzhi's eyes, she glanced at Xue Chong indifferently, and while he was not paying attention, she quietly reached out and scratched the opponent's palm, causing the opponent to blush involuntarily, and then she was satisfied Withdrew his hand.
Looking at the other party's expression that seemed to be cheating, Xue Chong felt a little helpless and embarrassed at the same time.
With this experience, Xue Chong didn't dare to put his hands indiscriminately again. He simply put his hands behind his back, not giving the opponent any chance.
Looking at the red ears and hands behind his back, but his face is very serious, he couldn't help but smile.
Every time I see the other party who is obviously embarrassed and shy, but insists on pretending to be calm, I can't help laughing.
It's not in vain for her... Oh no, it's him.
It's not in vain for him to waste the tuba, leave the guild aside, and go to the trumpet every day, just to see his master's embarrassing face but helpless to him.
After Qingzhi finished speaking, the NPC asked ecstatically, "Is it true? Are you really going to help me avenge me?"
Qingzhi: "That's right."
NPC: "The enemy who killed my parents and had a mortal hatred with me is now in the Liufeng Inn in the imperial capital! This is his portrait!"
The NPC reached out and handed the portrait to Qingzhi, who took it.
The NPC continued: "I also know that a woman like me can't kill a man who is a big and three thick, so it's all up to you heroes! If you help me avenge me, the little girl is willing to promise me with her body!"
The smile on Qingzhi's face turned cold instantly, and 'she' said coldly, "I'm sorry, he belongs to me."
After the two of them took over the mission, the livid color on Qingzhi's face still persisted.
Along the way, with a sullen face, contrary to his usual lively and active, he became silent.
Xue Chong walked for a while, and finally couldn't help but stop and stopped Qing Zhi. He sighed, pressed his brows with a headache, and said helplessly, "Why are you so angry with an NPC? Even if it's not us, as long as it is a player who takes on this task, she will say this."
Qingzhi's voice was a bit muffled: "I know..." Immediately afterwards, 'she' suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Xue Chong's waist unexpectedly, and asked: "Master will always be a disciple alone, right? No Take other apprentices, right?"
Xue Chong raised his hand again and again, hesitating for a long time between the two options of pushing away and embracing him. Finally, he accepted his fate, stretched out his hand to gently embrace the other party in his arms, and gave him a silent grace. .
Where Xue Chong didn't see it, the corner of 'her' mouth raised a sly arc.
After untying the knot in her heart, Qing Zhi still held Xue Chong's hand tightly.
A gilt and silver hairpin was inserted obliquely on top of her head, and a woman in Tsing Yi, who stepped on a pair of cloud silk embroidered shoes, was holding the hand of a black-haired man in black clothes, with her five fingers intertwined. Loving couple.
After Xue Chong struggled calmly for three times but failed to break free, he seemed to finally accept his fate, turned his face, and said with a little helplessness: "Apprentice...can you stop holding hands like this?"
Qingzhi: "Why?"
As Xue Chong spoke, he quietly waved his hands outward: "I'm not used to it..."
As if she had sensed Xue Chong's intentions a long time ago, Qingzhi's hand tightened even more in an instant, and she simply clasped the opponent's hand and did not let go.
Qingzhi: "But everyone else is so involved."
Do other masters and apprentices also hold hands like this? Xue Chong frowned, deep in thought.
Seeing that Xue Chongzhen was thinking seriously, Qing Zhi rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something.
Qingzhi hooked the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Then master and apprentice, the apprentice will let go immediately."
Sure enough, the body of the person who hugged 'her' stiffened immediately.
As if feeling that the stimulation was not enough, 'she' continued to say bitterly: "Master has never been willing to take the initiative to hold hands with apprentices, and sometimes he is unwilling to take the initiative to talk to apprentices. It has been so long, and the private messages sent by the master have not even taken the initiative. No more than ten. Does the master dislike the apprentice?"
Pretending to be lost, 'Qing Zhi' let go of his arms and slowly backed away.
Qingzhi: "Okay... I see..."
Just as 'he' expected, the other party really panicked.
Xue Chong: "That's not the case..."
Qingzhi: "What is that like?"
Xue Chong didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
In desperation, Xue Chong pursed his lips, his voice slowed down, and he frowned and said softly: "Is it okay to just kiss..."
For Xue Chong, who has never liked too close contact with others, the act of kissing his face is really going all out.
After repeated struggles, Xue Chong, who was sure he couldn't drag on any longer, frowned, leaned slightly, and was about to tap the opponent's side face lightly, then withdrew his body.
Unexpectedly, just when Xue Chong's lips were about to touch the side of the other's face, the other side suddenly turned his face, raised his head, and kissed him proactively.
Not only that, he also felt that the tip of the other's soft and wet tongue pried open his teeth, penetrated into his lips, swept around vaguely, and then retreated unhurriedly.
The distance between the two of them was so close that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Xue Chong was caught off guard and froze in place.
