I am a Flower Vase in an Infinite Flow World

Chapter 24: Real world

Views:

The game-ending notification sound rang in Tang Ning's mind. He felt extremely dizzy. Everything in front of him disappeared like an illusion, and was replaced by an empty bus stop.

It was very quiet all around, no wind, no rain, no rustling of trees, and no words of "I love you".

Tangning blinked slowly and looked down at her phone screen. A pop-up message popped up saying:

Instance Name: Ghost Baby

Copy danger factor: e (white copy)

Mission difficulty coefficient: e (beginner)

Complete the main mission: Survive! (Survival Days 10)

Complete the advanced task: Seal the ghost baby! (Survival days 20)

Complete the hidden mission: Seal Mo Yunchu! (Survival days 100)

Overall rating: S (S-level mission rating will grant lifetime use rights to the card "Princess and the Pea" extracted from this instance!)

Dear player, your current survival time is 130 days. The items you currently have are as follows: Princess and the Pea card, coral jade for exorcism, and 4 damp paper money (the items you carry with you in the dungeon can be brought into reality)

Survival days? Does it mean how long he can live

Tang Ning stared at the densely packed game results in a daze, only then could he confirm that everything that happened in those six days was not a dream. He clicked confirm and then opened the item bar in the game.

The Princess and the Pea

Rarity: S

Function description: A rare charm card. After equipping this card, your attraction to the "Prince" will increase permanently by 10 when you are weak.

"Coral Jade to Exorcise Evil Spirits"

Rarity: a

Function introduction: It has a deterrent effect on ordinary evil spirits. When an evil spirit enters the exorcism range of the coral jade, its strength will be continuously weakened (only works on ghosts with the same characteristics as this copy)

"Wet paper money"

Rarity: e

Function introduction: Giving paper money to evil spirits has a certain chance of reducing the evil spirits' attack intentions (same as above)

Tang Ning thought of the "special items that can be brought into reality" introduced in the game. He reached into his pocket and indeed felt the coral jade and wet paper money.

Tang Ning withdrew his hand and continued to explore the game app. This time, he carefully read the rules of the card game.

Card Game Basics

1. Once players obtain the game qualification, they will enter the game copy to challenge in a cycle of ten days.

2. To ensure the real safety of players and avoid danger when loading or exiting the game, the game will not take up real time, and players will receive one second of absolute protection each time they load or exit the game.

3. Death in the dungeon is real death.

Card Description

1. Players will receive a card every time they enter a copy.

2. Cards will always follow the player in the game and will not be restricted by copies.

3. Card usage: There is no limit on the number of times a copy of a card can be used. Players need to complete the copy before they can unlock the right to use the card:

4. Cards will disappear after the player dies.

5. After a player dies, there is 30 seconds for teammates to pick up the card.

2. Non-consensual sexual relations are not allowed between players.

3. GMs will appear randomly in the dungeon to monitor the game. Once a player is found to have intentionally killed other players or forced other players to have sex, the player will be permanently banned and killed.

After browsing the general rules, Tang Ning finally had some understanding of the game. He found the player forum and the forum announcement stated, "Players are welcome to communicate, post guides and other activities. The forum will release activities from time to time with rich rewards. Players are welcome to pay attention at any time."

Tangning clicked into the forum and saw a variety of posts floating on the front page:

After chatting and seeing too many people using the rules to kill people and pick up cards, I decided to just be my lone wolf.

Trade and acquire defensive props of the Eastern supernatural system!

Gossip: Does anyone know why Mo Yunchu’s copy was suddenly closed

I've played seven rounds of Chit-Chat, and the rarest card I drew was level D. Is this reasonable

Tang Ning's heart sank when he saw the name Mo Yunchu, and he subconsciously clicked on it.

Landlord

Holy shit, I read the copy description, it said that Mo Yunchu being sealed caused great turmoil in the world line, and the copy was temporarily closed for adjustments!!!

Let me introduce Mo Yunchu, a top-level Taoist priest in an E-level copy. His strength is considered one of the best NPCs in an A-level copy. What’s more amazing is that it is said that after his death, Mo Yunchu will turn into an invincible evil spirit, who can single-handedly make the difficulty coefficient of the copy soar to A-level!

Before, my teammates and I formed a team to assist the gravekeeper to defeat Mo Yunchu, but in the end we were almost wiped out by Mo Yunchu. At that time, another team also entered the dungeon and insisted on going to Mo Yunchu's villa to take a look, saying that they wanted to trigger some hidden task. When they went there that day, they were gone. Later, I heard about that large-scale task, so all the people who went to the vicinity of Mo Yunchu's lair were gone.

No matter what level, as long as they get close to the villa area, they will be killed on the spot without exception. No one can survive for a second. Mo Yunchu's nest is his Achilles' heel. Whoever gets close will die. No one knows what treasures he has hidden in there.

In addition to his top-level talent as a celestial master, can you imagine that Mo Yunchu is also a melee mage? The six of us went up to siege him and were beaten in various ways. He pulled out his belt and hung up our captain and beat him! In the end, his suit was not messed up at all, and he looked like a thug in a suit. In the end, he even went to the award ceremony leisurely.

By the way, I remember that he won the Best Actor award that day, which was well deserved. Mo Yunchu is really good at acting. When he beats people, he looks at them like trash, as if you are the dog under his feet. However, the fans of Mo Yunchu's world actually praised him for his affectionate eyes and gentle gentleman (to be honest, every movie starring Mo Yunchu is a masterpiece. I originally wanted to spend some survival days to go to Mo Yunchu's copy to relive the classics.

1st floor

Mo Yunchu was sealed? Laughing to death, it's impossible. The person who was beaten by Mo Yunchu went crazy again.

2nd Floor

I was just about to laugh at the OP for being a Mo Yunchu fan, but I found out that Mo Yunchu was actually sealed and the dungeon was really closed!!!

3rd Floor

Is this actually true? By the way, I heard that Mo Yunchu's villa is specially used to hide his mistress. Mo Yunchu has never kissed in any scenes or had any scandals with anyone since his debut. He has always kept his chastity for his lover.

4th Floor

What kind of gossip is this? It's totally unimaginable who Mo Yunchu would fall in love with.

As Tangning was scrolling through the post, she seemed to hear Mo Yunchu's unique, gentle, magnetic voice again: "I love you."

Tang Ning had used the phrase "I love you" over and over again in the dungeon. He had said it so many times, and each time he avoided Mo Yunchu's sight. He kept saying these false sweet words, and after saying them so many times, it seemed as if he was almost believing them.

Now thinking back on those days and nights, Mo Yunchu only told him twice. The first time was when he was attacked by the ghost baby on the first day he stepped into the copy. Mo Yunchu hugged him and said to him "I love you".

One time, I walked into the seal for him and said "I love you" to him.

He originally thought that Mo Yunchu was an evil ghost, and he could tell himself that it was nothing wrong for an evil ghost to be sealed. However, after reading the post, Tang Ning realized that Mo Yunchu was not an evil ghost, but an excellent celestial master, a truly powerful cultivator in the eyes of the system.

So, when Mo Yunchu saw him wearing the coral jade and leaving, was he really leaving for something? But why did Mo Yunchu quietly stand at the door of the villa to watch over him? Why did Lao Liu say that he had picked up a dead person on the way

Tang Ning was extremely confused. He only knew that Mo Yunchu would turn into some kind of horrible existence after his death. That was why the gravekeeper had been guarding near Mo Yunchu's home, waiting to collect Mo Yunchu's body.

And for him, Mo Yunchu voluntarily entered the seal.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning's confused thoughts suddenly stopped. He had been in that coffin before. It was so painful, so cold, and so dark.

His chest felt so tight that he could hardly breathe. Tangning took a deep breath and searched for a way to get back to the dungeon. He thought he might be crazy. If he wasn't crazy, how could he have such crazy and unreasonable thoughts popping up in his mind

"If I could go back to the copy"

"If we ignore the flood after Mo Yunchu's death"

“Can he go then?”

“Can you unblock it?”

Tangning's fingertips trembled slightly as she panted and looked at the rules of the dungeon:

1. There are a total of 36,500 copies in the dungeon library, which are divided into levels of difficulty from E to S according to the overall danger factor of the monsters.

2. Each copy has an independent plot development. When the player enters, the wheel of time will start to turn, giving the player a brand new experience. The NPC will also remember those players who left a deep impression on him.

3. After the player exits the copy, the timeline will stop until a new player enters the game.

4. The copy has growth potential and is likely to be upgraded or degraded according to the timeline.

5. Players will be matched with copies in the corresponding difficulty range based on their own win rate and card collection completion. The same copy will not be matched within three cycles.

6. Players cannot choose the copy they want to enter on their own.

You cannot choose the copy you want to enter.

It was as if a basin of ice-cold water was poured down on Tang Ning, so cold that his surging blood seemed to freeze into ice. Tang Ning stood there blankly, motionless, his pupils unfocused, his brain going blank, and he had no idea what he was thinking at the moment.

Mo Yunchu.

Mo Yunchu.

How strange, why is this name all in my mind? He seems to be sick, a disease called "Mo Yunchu".

"beep-"

There was the sound of a vehicle in the distance. Tangning suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrinking slightly. He saw a bus coming from the night. It was an old-fashioned bus that had been eliminated from the market. The license plate number was the same as the mysterious bus in the copy.

Not the same.

The bus stopped in front of Tang Ning and the door opened automatically. In the dim light, he could vaguely see the passengers whispering to each other. Tang Ning glanced at the time. It was twelve o'clock midnight.

As the rules say, no matter how much time is spent in the copy, you will not be able to notice the passage of time when you return to reality.

There are no words like funeral on the body of the bus, so it should be a bus arranged by the program team.

Tangning boarded the bus and looked around. He met the eyes of two extras sitting by the window in the middle row. When he saw the two extras' faces showing the same look of amazement, he looked away and found a few cameras hidden by the production team.

Have we really returned to reality

Tang Ning turned around and walked to the driver's seat. He tilted his head and stared at the driver for a while.

The driver was confused by the stare and couldn't help but turn around to ask Tang Ning what he was looking at. However, as he turned his head, Tang Ning's face suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

That palm-sized face was painted with delicate oriental features. Under the dim light, Tang Ning looked like a fragile and beautiful doll, emitting an ominous and fatal attraction.

The driver was stunned for a moment.

The incredibly handsome young man smiled faintly at him and turned away.

These were indeed the cars and people prepared by the program crew.

Tang Ning exhaled a breath and found the last row to sit down. It was pitch black outside the window and there was nothing to see. Tang Ning stared at the dark scene in a trance.

In the previous instance, he also sat in this position on the bus, and Mo Yunchu sat next to him and hugged him.

From the front row, two extras were talking, probably reciting the lines that the production team had arranged:

"Have you heard about that urban legend about the ghost bus that leaves the last train at Jinsong Station?"

"Is it the story about the car driving to a mass grave after waking up from a nap? This kind of story is too far-fetched. Besides, isn't it okay as long as we don't fall asleep?"

The car lights began to flicker as the two extras were talking, and the extras let out low moans to set the mood.

This was the first scare segment arranged by the program team, which was considered an appetizer. In the past, the guests usually looked around nervously, and the timid ones would even scream. However, Tangning on the screen -

He raised his head and looked at the flickering car lights. His expression did not change at all, but remained cold and clear, as if he was isolated from the noisy scene.

director:"?"

Director: "Didn't his agent say that he is very timid and repeatedly told us not to scare him too much? I think he is quite brave."

"But his agent was right about one thing. Tangning is so pretty." The assistant couldn't help but sigh.

The director, who had seen countless people, nodded when he heard this, and then shouted: "Second scare, ready-"

On the bus, a handrail ring suddenly fell off and rolled to Tang Ning's feet. Tang Ning's eyelashes did not even tremble. He was now physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to lie on the bed and empty himself. Any reaction to the outside world would consume his remaining energy.

Under such circumstances, what Tang Ning wanted to know most was the mysterious card game.

The game forum cannot be opened during game time and can only be logged in in the real world. Moreover, only card players can see this forum. Ordinary people will see other random pictures. Therefore, Tang Ning sat in the car and quietly browsed the forum on his phone.

Urban legend of Jinsong Bus

The conversation between the two extras in the front row reminded Tang Ning of the haunted bus in the dungeon. The haunted bus at lane 22 in the dungeon and the ghost bus legend in reality both had similar supernatural events. Was this a coincidence

Tang Ning felt a little uneasy. He changed several keywords and browsed through many posts before finally finding the post he was looking for.

Chit chat: Has anyone noticed that more and more copies in the game are infiltrating reality

Landlord

In the past, it seemed that only when the copy collapsed would some of the supernatural penetrate into reality, but I recently saw a copy of the ghost that had not collapsed in reality.

Tang Ning's right eyelid twitched and he shouted to the driver, "Master, which road are we going to?"

"Luhua Avenue." the driver replied.

Tang Ning frowned. He only knew that the road where the accident happened was Road 22. As for the specific name of the road, he did not know it at the time.

Is he overthinking it

There seemed to be some gazes in the dark directed at him, a cautious prying eye. Tangning suddenly raised his head and saw the extras in the front row peeking at him.

The other party obviously didn't expect Tangning, who had been looking down a second ago, to suddenly look up. Her entire face turned red. Tangning looked at the extras and suddenly said, "I just heard you talking about the urban legend of Jinsong Station. What a coincidence, I also heard someone tell a similar story recently."

The extras stared at Tangning intently.

"That man was a hearse driver. They have a rule in this business that if they meet someone offering a ride in the middle of the night, they shouldn't accept it. But one night, he saw a woman in white." Tang Ning told the beginning of the story. The people on the bus and the staff in front of the screen were all stunned, not knowing what play Tang Ning was singing about.

"How does he know that the next scare will be the actress standing on the side of the road and catching a car?" the director was a little confused.

The scare script prepared by the production team this time was very simple. There were a total of four people on the bus, including Tang Ning. One of them was the driver, two were actors with a script, and the other was the guest, Tang Ning.

There is another actor waiting on the roadside not far ahead. The actress is wearing a wig and a white dress and will dress up as a female ghost. After the actress gets on the bus, the three actors will act out the ghost encounter according to the script, and the driver on the bus will pretend that the bus is out of control, but in fact he will drive the bus into the river not far from the mass grave along the original route.

Thinking of this, the director sitting in the tent turned his gaze towards the screen filming the actress dressed as a ghost. Seeing the pale back of the actress standing in the grass, he nodded, retracted his gaze and continued to focus on the screen on the bus.

Tang Ning on the screen was still telling the story of the hearse driver. The biggest difference between him and other people telling ghost stories was that he had experienced it himself, which made the listeners feel as if they were there.

The car lights were projected onto a deserted road not far away, and a hazy white shadow appeared on the side of the road.

"That woman is filled with resentment towards the vehicles passing through Lane 22. If she is allowed to board the bus, everyone on board—" Tangning raised her head and said firmly, "will all meet with misfortune."

The two extras held their breath and followed Tang Ning's gaze to the window.

A woman in white was seen standing upright beside the deserted road, the car lights illuminated half of her body, her bulging belly pushed up her blood-stained skirt. At this moment, even though the two extras already knew that a female ghost actress would get on the bus midway, they still couldn't help but scream.

Tangning stared at the woman in white outside the car window.

Something is wrong.

Something is wrong.

Through the messy black hair, he seemed to see a vaguely resentful look, cold and cruel, a look that was not something a living person could have!

"Don't stop the car!!!" Tangning suddenly stood up and shouted.

The driver followed the director's instructions strictly and stopped the car without listening to Tang Ning's dissuasion.

The woman in white standing on the roadside slowly walked towards the bus. Her steps were stiff and each step was unusually slow. Her figure flickered on the screen and the picture seemed to be stuck. The director muttered strangely: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the camera? We have to reshoot later."

The swollen soles of my feet stepped onto the bus, and the temperature in the car dropped several degrees in an instant. The extras sitting in the front couldn't help but hugged their arms, but immediately stood up bravely according to the script and walked towards the woman in white, "Friend, your hair covers your face, can you see the road clearly like this?"

As he said this, he leaned his head closer and reached out to lift the black hair that covered the woman's face.

The entire carriage was silent for three seconds.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!” A heart-wrenching scream came from the man’s mouth, his eyes widened as if he saw something extremely terrifying, and his whole body was shaking violently.

Another extra behind him couldn't help but smack his lips at the other person's acting skills today, and then quickly rushed up according to the script, "What's wrong?! Why are you yelling? Are you playing a prank again?"

However, his companion did not respond to the lines. Instead, he collapsed to the ground with a pale face, trembling all over and crawling out, trying his best to get away from the woman in white.

Did you forget the words

You performed well on the spot!

The extra didn't think much about it. He quickly walked up to the motionless woman in white, then quickly reached out his hand and touched her cold black hair. A cold and smelly breath blew in from between her hair, giving people goose bumps.

The hand that lifted the hair stopped in mid-air.

His face twitched and he made an expression of terrified affection, his mouth opened dully and a cassette-like wails came out intermittently from his mouth.

Seeing that the other staff members had done such an excellent job, the driver was not to be outdone and was about to shout out his original lines, "What's going on! What's wrong with the car—"

The powerful shout was suddenly interrupted, like a screaming chicken that was suddenly stopped being ravaged, and was replaced by a silent whine from the wide-open eyes.

All indicator lights were off, and even when the driver gave up driving with trembling hands, the car continued to drive steadily on the dark road.

Everyone in the bus fell into deathly silence, their eyes widened in disbelief, their mouths slightly open, as if they had seen something beyond common sense.

In their fear-filled pupils, scarlet blood poured silently into the car from the doors, windows and even the roof. The two-meter-high blood seemed like an advancing wave, splashing on the ground and bouncing off the ground. The car was full of jumping blood beads.

The ominous blood silently swept through the carriage, slammed onto the old carriage, and opened its bloody mouth to devour the tiny humans on the carriage.

Tick.

Tang Ning blinked, and all the blood suddenly disappeared. Only a woman in white was left standing quietly in the bus. A stream of scarlet blood dripped from between her legs, which were covered with corpse spots. Maggots rolled in the blood, and in an instant, the sticky blood infected the area within half a meter of the bus door.

The woman in white turned her head stiffly, and her empty eyes behind her messy hair looked straight at Tang Ning.

The moment their eyes met, a shiver ran up from his spine to the top of his head. Tang Ning's hair stood on end. If he hadn't had the experience from the first copy, he would have collapsed to the ground at this moment.

calm!

calm!!!

The bleeding woman walked step by step towards Tang Ning who was sitting in the last row. She was filled with deathly aura, without any sign of life. Her resentful eyes were like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike. Tang Ning calmly reached into his pocket and pinched the wet paper money.

A strong stench spread in the air, as if it had turned into a tiny snake that could penetrate any hole, hissing on the skin, then drilling into the flesh and wrapping around the madly beating heart—

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The sound of his heartbeat and footsteps overlapped. Tang Ning stared at the woman in white who was getting closer and closer. His hands, holding the paper money, were so tense that his knuckles turned white. Through the gaps in the black hair covering her face, dark eyes were vaguely visible. Tang Ning could feel that the ghost was sizing him up with a hungry, resentful and cold look.

It stretched out its pale hand towards Tang Ning.

Almost at the same time, Tangning quickly pulled out four pieces of paper money from his pocket. He held back his fear and handed the paper money to the ghost in front of him. He tried to keep his voice steady and said, "Please get off the car."

The hand with corpse spots stiffly grasped the wet paper money, less than a centimeter away from Tang Ning's fingertips.

Everyone's eyes are focused here.

The extras were crying, the driver was pounding the steering wheel, the director was staring with a frown, and Tangning, whose heart was in her throat.

Giving paper money to the evil spirit only has a certain chance of reducing the evil spirit's attack intention, but it cannot completely dissuade the evil spirit from attacking. Tang Ning can feel the evil spirit's struggling gaze lingering on his face, greedy and unwilling, fierce and fearful, like a sharp knife sliding along his skin, and it will cut a piece of flesh from his face if he is not careful!

The scenery outside the windows on both sides flowed backwards at a high speed, like an endless dark river, or like red and black blood pouring down. The open windows made a whimpering sound, and Tangning's hands could not help but tremble. In this tense atmosphere, his lips trembled slightly, and he unconsciously said a name -

"Mo Yunchu."

The bus was traveling at high speed and suddenly stopped. Everyone on the bus staggered as it braked suddenly. Tang Ning almost fell on the evil spirit. He hurriedly steadied himself and heard the sound of the door opening.

The cold night wind blew in from the door. The silent outside of the car seemed like another world. The woman in white slowly turned around and got out of the car holding paper money.

The driver slumped over the steering wheel. The moment he saw the woman get out of the car, he suddenly regained his strength. With a pale face, he wanted to step on the accelerator and leave. However, when the headlights illuminated the dead silence in front of him, the driver almost fainted.

All I saw were small earth mounds standing in the darkness. The bus just stopped in front of a muddy river, and it was only one step away from falling into it!

"Good! Good! This show is going very well!" The director nodded in satisfaction. He had never thought that the acting skills of everyone on the bus would be so much better than expected. Sitting in front of the screen, he felt like he was watching a group of actors with acting skills worthy of Oscars. Especially the last scene where Tang Ning suddenly took out paper money for the dead. It was indescribably weird, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

The director was overjoyed and ready to call it a day when, behind him, a pale hand lifted the tent.

A woman in white clothes and black hair walked into the tent.

She reached out and patted the man on the shoulder.

The director turned around and saw the actor who was supposed to be standing at the mass grave and said blankly: "Director, when I opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping on the side of the road. Did I miss the bus?"

Tang Ning slumped in his seat as if he had collapsed. His hands and feet were weak, and his heart was beating wildly. He felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell. After finally calming himself down, he looked up and was met with three sparkling, admiring gazes.

"Master, what should we do now?" an extra asked respectfully.

Tangning: “?”

Tang Ning was familiar with the look in the eyes of the people in front of him. It was the hopeful look of a person who fears darkness looking at a single candle flame. Tang Ning had looked at Boss Hao, the gravekeeper, and Mo Yunchu with such eyes before.

But he never expected that one day he would be looked up to like this.

"I'm not a master, and I don't know what to do." Tang Ning said weakly.

The driver apologized to Tangning with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Master. I should have listened to you just now. I will listen to whatever you say from now on!"

"Then shall we call it a day?"

Finally, Tang Ning got off the car with three frightened staff members, and saw the photographer who was squatting at the mass grave and was also almost scared silly.

"The one just now..." The photographer didn't know what to call the woman in white. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Where did that good brother go? I, my camera seems to have a problem. No, it's my eyes. The camera can take a picture of that good brother, but I can't see her with my naked eyes. How come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

The three staff members behind Tangning looked pale and booed the photographer, "Stop talking! Call it a day! Tangning told us to call it a day and leave!"

The trembling photographer nodded quickly. The crowd didn't even bother to drive the bus away, and squeezed into a minivan to leave. The bus driver was a 1.9-meter-tall strong man who insisted on sitting next to Tang Ning. He carefully grabbed the corner of Tang Ning's clothes to feel safe. The other two extras were not to be outdone and scrambled for the only remaining seat next to Tang Ning.

Tang Ning knew that these people were terrified. After all, he himself was also very frightened. In front of everyone's weak, pitiful and helpless gazes, Tang Ning thoughtfully played a song "Good Luck Comes".

On the way back, Tangning met the trembling director and actress. The director trembled and promised to make Tangning a permanent guest on the show. Tangning was deeply moved when she heard this, but she firmly refused.

After bidding farewell to the crew, Tang Ning returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him!

"Meow~"

A beautiful shorthair cat rubbed Tang Ning's calf. It squinted its eyes and rubbed its head against him with great force each time, causing Tang Ning's pants to be covered with a bunch of cat hair.

Tang Ning squatted down, hugged Kai Xin, buried his face in the cat's belly and took a deep breath. Kai Xin's snoring sound filled his ears.

The house was quiet, with only a kitten purring non-stop. Tang Ning put the cat down and went to wash up, but the moment he entered the bathroom, a similar scene made him back out immediately.

He was afraid to go into the bathroom alone.

Tang Ning thought about it and carried Kai Xin into the bathroom. Kai Xin was sniffing around excitedly. Tang Ning never allowed cats to enter the bathroom before because they always liked to steal and drink toilet water.

In the company of Joy, Tang Ning quickly took a hot bath.

He put on his pajamas, carried the cat into the bedroom, locked the door, drew the curtains tightly, and put his slippers facing outward. After doing all this, Tang Ning curled up on the bed.

It was late, four in the morning.

The air from the air conditioner blew on Tang Ning's face. It was a cold wind. Tang Ning quickly buried his head under the quilt. The quilt was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

The fluffy little cat also crawled into the bed and licked the corners of Tangning's wet eyes. Tangning closed her eyes and cried while whispering to Kai Xin, "What should I do? I'm so useless."

"Without him."

"I can't sleep."
