Summary: The Elves' Daily Love

"It's so late, I'm a little hungry." Yun Ci took the initiative to change the subject, "Sister Ruan, can I order takeout here?"

Ruan Lanzhu came back to his senses from his thoughts: "It's so late. If you order now, it will probably take more than an hour for you to eat. There are ingredients in the refrigerator. You can go and see what you want to eat."

"Okay, do you guys want to eat?"

"eat."

"Then let me help."

Ling Jiushi and Yun Ci entered the kitchen.

Obsidian has a pretty rich selection of ingredients, thanks to Lu Yanxue, who used to run a private chef.

But Yunci didn't move and simply fried some noodles.

Scrambled eggs, add ham and stir-fry until crispy, then put in rapeseed, bean sprouts, and half-cooked noodles that have been rinsed with cold water, and then pour in the specially prepared sauce. The taste is perfect.

Yun Ci did not beat the eggs specifically when frying them. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she always felt that the eggs fried in this way were more fragrant, better than those beaten.

After a simple meal, Yun Ci and Ling Jiushi went home together.

She had no objection to joining Obsidian, but she hadn't packed her luggage yet, so she might as well go back.

It just so happens that Ling Jiushi can keep me company, otherwise it would feel awkward to let him go back alone after coming here together.

The two took a taxi home, and it was already dawn when they arrived near the community.

Ling Jiushi was thinking about what Ruan Lanzhu had said to him, so he got off the car early and wanted to walk around by himself.

Yun Ci, who had been watching TV series in the car, knew his mood and didn't say much, but just reminded him to be careful.

After returning home, Yun Ci started watching the TV series. She wanted to understand the situation in this world as soon as possible.

only……

"I feel like there's something weird going on between Ruan Lanzhu and Brother Ling."

It’s different now.

Xiao Ai specially called up the scene in the original plot where Ling Jiushi rescued Ruan Lanzhu by the well in Xue Village.

[You are too reckless. You directly deleted this plot. ]

"..."

Can't blame her.

She didn't know the plot at that time.

Besides, this could be considered an accident, right?

Yun Ci, who had once again stayed up all day and night to watch the drama and see the ending, felt that this was not bad. At least Brother Ling would not waste another 50 years, only to get an illusion in the end.

At the same time, she also understood why she felt that Ruan Lanzhu at that time was very similar to herself.

Because at first, they were all simulating human emotional life.

Yun Ci squinted her eyes which were about to close in the next second, yawned and grasped the bedroom door handle. The next second, a dazzling white light came on.

“Again—?!”

*

A slightly deserted town.

The walls of the building show signs of corrosion.

Yun Ci looked at the white fog that was so close to her, and her sleepiness mostly disappeared. A curse stuck in her throat, and she ran away the next second.

The white mist gradually spread.

Philsea bird.

The building that served as the mission site was very obvious and the straight-line distance was very close, but the roads in the town were winding, and Yun Ci felt that she had been running for a long time but was only a little closer to the building.

In the end, she simply jumped onto the roof and hopped on the eaves all the way to the mission location.

"!"

Ruan Lanzhu was startled by Yun Ci who suddenly fell from the sky: "..."

He looked up at the sky: "Where are you from?"

Yun Ci yawned uncontrollably and pointed behind her: "I was dropped into the town, and the white mist was getting farther and farther away from me. Do you think I was targeted by this game?"

"It's not uncommon for people to be dropped to the edge of the map. This is normal." Ruan Lanzhu's gaze swept across the dark circles under her eyes. "How long have you not slept?"

This is how she looked when we first met.

It's the same this time.

Yun Ci rubbed her eyes, took out some eye drops from her pocket and put them in to relieve the dryness in her eyes.

"I haven't slept since I got home from Obsidian. I was busy with some things."

Ruan Lanzhu, who only got Yun Ci's personal information after Yun Ci left, raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that Yun Ci in the information was an unemployed vagrant. What was he busy with?

But now was not the time for a long chat, so the two could only go into the building first.

There were already quite a few people standing in the building at this time, and Ling Jiushi was one of them.

Yun Ci greeted Ling Jiushi inconspicuously, and then prepared to find a place to stand, but was stopped by Ruan Lanzhu.

"Where?"

Yun Ci was at a loss. She whispered, "Aren't you supposed to pretend you don't know me?"

"Let's come in together. Do you think others will believe you if you say you don't know him?" Ruan Lanzhu pulled Yun Ci back to his side. "You are right here."

Suddenly, a man rushed in from behind, with blood stains on his face, and closed the door in fear.

"Let's get out of here right now! There's something wrong with this fog!"

"It seems that this door is really as scary as the legend says."

Ruan Lanzhu looked at the girl who was speaking in a dramatic manner: "You know that too?"

"Of course, this is only the second door. The note is easy to get, but from what I understand, it's not easy to get out."

The girl with pigtails suddenly asked: "Where is this——"

Yun Ci remembered her, Ruan Lanzhu's client, the female star Tan Zaozao, whose name inside the door was Xu Xiaocheng, and who finally died in her sixth door.

She had an average impression of Tan Zaozao, but Yun Ci knew that ordinary people's fear was difficult to eliminate.

So she understood Tan Zaozao's mood and thoughts.

But that would only lead to...an inevitable death.

Because she gave up living on her own initiative.

No one can save her unless she is willing to save herself.

No, seriously speaking, she can indeed be saved.

But she and Tan Zaozao had no connection, so why would she risk her life to save a stranger?

Yun Ci had no expression on her face. She was listening to Ruan Lanzhu's dramatic words when suddenly someone grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him.

"This is my girlfriend, Bai Yu."

Yun Ci looked at Ruan Lanzhu in surprise. They had agreed on the name before, but this identity...

Ruan Lanzhu leaned softly against Yun Ci and said, "This is my girlfriend's fourth time coming through the door. Thanks to her protection, I was able to get out of the first door safely."

He blinked and looked at Yun Ci. The pair of teardrop moles under her eyes were very attractive.

"Xiaoyu, thank you for protecting me~"

Yun Ci: “…”

Yun Ci was extremely sleepy now and had no energy to act with Ruan Lanzhu. She just smiled and nodded, giving affirmative responses to whatever Ruan Lanzhu said.

The unspoken rule in the sect is that whoever passes the door the most times takes the lead.

Yun Ci had become the leader at this time. She was led by Ruan Lanzhu, and somehow they went upstairs with him to look up information. She was still a little dazed standing in the elevator.

The only button on the elevator that could be pressed was '14', but when it passed the seventh floor, the lights flickered and the magnetic field became chaotic.

Yun Ci keenly sensed the power of time and space: "Hmm?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just felt there should be something on the seventh floor, so I went back to take a look."

"You still want to act alone?"

Yun Ci yawned again: "Don't worry, I need to catch up on some sleep first--"
