Embarrassment and guilty conscience are the only feelings Cheng Zhichu has now.
Although he didn't know why he felt guilty - no, being stared at by Bai Yi's oppressive eyes is stressful for everyone, so what's even more strange is why Bai Yi is looking at him like this...
Originally, if Bai Yi didn't mention it, he would have forgotten that the other party had witnessed him and Joshua kissing at that time, and even if Bai Yi saw it, he thought that with Bai Yi's gentle character, he would definitely consider it as nothing. It happened, who knows that Bai Yi not only did not keep silent, but now he has brought it up again, and his attitude is still very serious.
"… "
The handsome man's eyes were deep, and even his smile faded a little, so he looked straight at him, seeing Cheng Zhichu's heart trembling, not knowing why the other party was so unhappy.
Could it be that…
He was suddenly shocked, and thought of a very terrible possibility - is it because Bai Yi is too straight, and he hates gays in his heart, so no one is allowed to be gay in front of him!
No, he must explain clearly, and must not let Bai Yi have any strange misunderstanding of him! He had never been able to be straight anymore. If Bai Yi's thigh was kept away from him because of this shameful misunderstanding, he would really be so depressed that he vomited blood! !
"Listen to my explanation!"
In desperation, Cheng Zhichu reached out and grabbed Bai Yi's hem, because he was much shorter than the other party, nearly half a head, so he had to look up at Bai Yi.
He was originally small, with fair skin and round eyes. He was very handsome and lovely. His short, light-colored hair was soft and fluffy, and he looked like a small furry animal.
He was so pitifully tugging at the corner of his clothes and looking at him, most of the gloom in Bai Yi's heart immediately dissipated. He lost his temper, and his heart was so soft.
With a nice smile, he touched Cheng Zhichu's soft hair, as if he was coaxing him, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm listening, you speak slowly."
Seeing that Bai Yi was still willing to listen to him, Cheng Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Actually, Joshua and I... we have nothing! I kissed him because I acquired an ability..."
Cheng Zhichu already trusted Bai Yi very much, and he was afraid that Bai Yi would dislike him. At this time, he couldn't bear to hide his ability full of shame. He quickly explained it from beginning to end, and explained himself in the process of description. He was weak and pitiful and helpless, and the system that forced him was disgusting.
"...It also threatens me that if I don't kiss the boss before killing him, I'll never be able to get out of this dungeon."
In the end, Cheng Zhichu himself felt that he was really miserable, and his eyes were very desolate. He took out the Boss picture book as evidence, and handed it over to Bai Yi.
"In addition to collecting enough survival points, I also have to collect this picture book completely to get rid of the infinite escape... So with Joshua... What, it's really not my will! I'm all forced to help..."
Oops, Bai Yi's face looks even worse...
Cheng Zhichu's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he was frightened to find that Bai Yi pursed his thin lips slightly, his face sinking like water, especially when he opened the illustrated book and looked at the silhouettes of bosses one after another in the book, the strength in his hands increased, and he gradually stopped flipping. His fingers tightened abruptly, almost smashing the pages of the book.
At this time, the page number of the illustrated book just stopped on the page of Joshua.
【Number: 017】
【Name: Joshua】
[Source: Midnight Mansion]
[Difficulty Level: Normal]
[Explanation: The product of the mansion's male master Charlie's affair with the maid Mary was chopped into pieces by the mistress Mei Jie while they were still in the womb. The resentment persisted for a long time, condensed in the emerald, and catalyzed the birth of the resentful spirit.
He is only accompanied by the necklace left by his parents. The evil curse will kill everyone who steps into the mansion, isolate all living people from him, and enslave their ghosts for his use. This is what his parents left behind. The twisted "love" of him, I hope he can "grow up" safely.
The dead became his "nutrient". He never regarded the living as his kind, thinking that they were all food. The dead ghosts were deeply afraid of him and never appeared in front of him.
Every midnight, he wakes up from his slumber. At sunrise, he closes his eyes again. There is only darkness in his dreams, because he has never stepped outside the mansion, and he can't see the outside scenery, or even the sun. .
He felt lonely, but he didn't know that he was deep in loneliness. Until many years later, the door of the mansion was pushed open again. He opened his eyes and saw you and the light in your eyes.
He didn't know what "sunshine" looked like.
But at that moment, he thought.
That might be what you look like. 】
"Bang!"
Bai Yi slammed the book shut, his face turned extremely bad.
Cheng Zhichu was taken aback and stared nervously at the picture book, for fear that Bai Yi would tear it apart. Now he regrets showing the picture book to Bai Yi, because the gay description in Gay must have angered Bai Yi, a straight man of steel!
"I'm sorry, don't be angry, I let you see these things, I'm sorry..."
Cheng Zhichu showed a very ashamed expression, and carefully apologized to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi was stared at by his puppy-like eyes, and after a while he couldn't hold back his expression. He sighed helplessly, reached out and rubbed his head, returned the picture book to him, and said softly: "I didn't I'm angry, it's a problem with the game mechanics, how can I blame you..."
As he said that, he glanced at the picture book lightly, his eyes were extremely cold, but he looked away for a moment, raised the corners of his lips, and repeated to Cheng Zhichu with a smile: "I'm really not angry."
"Thank you..." Cheng Zhichu was deeply moved, he knew that although Bai Yi was very straight, a gentle person like him would definitely be able to understand his difficulties!
"Can I add you as a friend?" Bai Yi's eyes swept over the picture book a few times, and said with a smile, "In this way, we can form a team together in the future. When you collect the picture book, take me with you. okay?"
"Of course!" Cheng Zhichu looked delighted. For him, this was something he couldn't ask for. "My forum ID is 'freshly squeezed orange juice', which is the freshly squeezed orange juice I drink. What's your name?"
Players with infinite escape cannot communicate through the system, and can only add friends to each other on the forum. Some functions in the forum are linked to the system. Players can communicate with their friends in the forum, and they can also choose to enter the same instance together.
There have been many players complaining about this, the system is so smart, why can't you add friends directly through the system, you must also be in the forum, but after several years, the system has no meaning to improve, so although the players are dissatisfied, but There is no way.
And players can't use the forum in the dungeon, only in reality, so Cheng Zhichu can only say his ID first, and then add Bai Yi's friends after exiting the dungeon.
"My name is 'Nianyi', 'Nian' in 'missing', the Chinese character '一'." Bai Yi smiled, looking at Cheng Zhichu with a soft gaze, "The meaning is... I only miss one person in my heart."
"I can't see that you are so romantic."
Cheng Zhichu was surprised, and at the same time a little ashamed. Compared to Bai Yi's literary ID, his ID was simply too simple and crude. After such a thought flashed in his mind, he became excited again and asked Bai Yi curiously, "Do you already have someone you like when you choose this name?"
"..." Bai Yi paused and smiled again, "Guess what."
His answer was ambiguous, so Cheng Zhichu didn't ask any further questions. After all, the two of them were not that familiar yet, and this was also a matter of privacy. Since Bai Yi didn't answer directly, of course he wouldn't keep asking endless questions, so as not to make people bored.
As for letting him guess, he thinks Bai Yi must have a girl he likes, but "I only miss one person in my heart", it doesn't sound like he's catching up...
But Bai Yi is so handsome and has such a good personality, what kind of girl would she have to be cruel to reject him... "Missing", could it be that the girl went abroad, or even suffered an unfortunate death? Bah, bah, it doesn't exist, how can he curse people casually, don't think about it anymore, this is someone's private matter, he's just guessing.
"What about you?" Bai Yi asked unintentionally, "Do you have someone you like? Or a lover?"
"Of course I..." Cheng Zhichu wanted to answer casually, when a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, his face turned black, his teeth itch with hatred, and then he said very firmly, "No! Mother's 20 years of Solo, except for my mother and my sister, I haven't even held hands of the opposite sex."
Seeing his annoyed look, Bai Yi thought he was grieved for being single for many years, so he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't be sad, I'm the same, I haven't dated anyone."
"How is that possible!" Cheng Zhichu's eyes widened, with a "don't fool me" expression.
"It's true." Bai Yi couldn't help nodding his smile, then withdrew his smile, looked at him seriously and said, "I will only associate with the people I love."
"... The girl you date will be very happy in the future."
Cheng Zhichu said sincerely, but thinking of himself, he couldn't help feeling a subtle embarrassment. Fortunately, he is still single, and he won't be sorry to anyone, otherwise, what is it like to always kiss the Boss...
As soon as he mentioned Boss, he suddenly remembered that Bai Yi didn't seem to like being a geek, and he emphasized it jokingly: "Cough, I hope there will be beautiful women in the future Boss, and stop being a man, after all, I am only a man. I like girls."
"..." Bai Yi suddenly fell into silence.
"Then what," Cheng Zhichu felt guilty, "I know you're a straight man..."
Bai Yi: "..."
Cheng Zhichu: "If the Boss I want to kiss in the future is still a man, don't be angry..."
Bai Yi: "... um."
Bai Yi: "I'm not angry."
Bai Yi: "Don't be angry..."
Cheng Zhichu: "! You are so kind!"
He was moved, his eyes were sincere, and his face was full of expressions like "you are really a good man" and "you are really my good buddy".
Bai Yi: "..."
Bai Yi: "...Actually, I don't necessarily like women..."
Cheng Zhichu: "Thank you very much today. Next time, we must team up to play the dungeon together. As long as you don't think I am weak... Then let's get out of the dungeon?"
Bai Yi: "...Okay."
Cheng Zhichu: "?" Is it his illusion? Why does he feel that Bai Yi's smile seems a little weak

Bai Yi's Diary Part Thirteen
I never thought that Zhichu would only like women...
Like I didn't expect him to think I only like women too...
I... really can't become a woman, and my soul fragments are all men... I...
(Hands are shaking so much that I can't write)
The author has something to say: Yes, actually Cheng Zhichu's appearance is cute, and it doesn't match the social situation at all. It's all because Bai Yi is too social, so he thinks about Cheng Zhichu and feels the social situation... By the way, Cheng Zhichu's height is 172 (He is always in pain because of his height. Usually, he will forcefully add soles and declare his height to be 175.) Bai Yi is about 184, so he is almost half a head away... !
