My ex boyfriend won't let me fall in love

"Why are you still standing outside and not coming in?" The door of the orphanage opened, and in the dark night, it was like a big mouth eager to choose someone to eat, and even the dean, who looked gentle and kind, became grim.

Zong Shen glanced back, and the rest of the place was covered with indistinct darkness, as if a giant man-eating beast was lurking in the darkness.

Xu Jiao took a step back in horror.

The dean frowned: "Xiaobao, what are you returning? Come in quickly."

While thinking about it, Zong Shen made a decision, Zong Shen raised a smile: "Mother of the dean, we just picked up scraps and forgot the time, so we will come in right away."

The dean showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then turned his gaze to the last person left: "Xiao He, what are you still standing there for?"

Xu Baihe was startled, subconsciously said: "I'm not—"

The dean interrupted him: "I think about running out to play all day long, and it's not worrying at all at the age of eight."

Xu Baihe suddenly lowered his head.

His hand, which should have been the size of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, suddenly became the size of a seven- or eight-year-old boy.

And this change, he didn't notice it at all!

The pupils of Zong Shen and Xu Jiao who were already standing inside the door also shrank slightly. Obviously, although they had been staying with Xu Baihe just now, their consciousness also seemed to be covered by something, and they were not aware of this change at all.

Pulling the corners of his stiff lips, Xu Baihe stepped into the gate of the orphanage under the repeated urging of the director.

"Creak—" The door, which had been in disrepair behind him, rang and slowly closed.

At the moment when the big lock "clicked" on the lock, the system that the three had kept silent all the time suddenly made a sound after a burst of "sizzling"——

[Welcome to the world of dream games. 】

【World Background: Six-year-old Lu Xingshen's only relative was beaten to death. With the help of neighbors, he buried the remains.Then you were sent to the Sun Orphanage, and you are a child who grew up in the orphanage. 】

[When you first saw the new kid who came to the orphanage, you couldn't help liking him. You thought he was so cute, just like an angel in mythology. 】

【However, the angel is not happy. Since coming here, he has been melancholy and silent.

You feel as though your heart is broken.

There is an irrepressible urge inside you - you want to help him.

How to help an angel who is depressed because of the loss of a loved one? 】

【Of course with love!

Only love can reawaken his love for life. 】

【You are happy with your idea.

You intend to start doing it right away. 】

[The strategy development game "Devotion of Love" is officially launched. Participants are requested to play hard and actively participate.Friendly reminder: If you are passive and sabotage, you may encounter plot kills. 】

[Addicted to the game, unable to extricate oneself, work hard, escape from birth, all participants, come on! (≧v≦)】

Xu Baihe stared at the facial expressions on the virtual light screen, vomited a mouthful of blood in his throat, and couldn't get up or down.

And Xu Jiao was so frightened that she couldn't help but call the system in her mind that would disappear after leaving this big talk, muttering to herself: "I can't get in touch, why can't I get in touch?"

Even if the system keeps going wrong after arriving in this world, and it can only be restored mechanically in the later stage, it still allows her to use props and some basic functions. The sky is falling.

Xu Baihe was upset and irritable, he lowered his voice and scolded: "Shut up!"

Raiders rely on two things, one is the plot, and the other is the system.And in so many worlds, the system has never failed, but now not only can't be contacted, but also suspected of being invaded, everyone is in a bad mood.

No, not all of them, not at least one.

With a spring-like smile on Zong Shen's lips, he raised his head and talked to the dean's mother, and got all the information from the dean's mouth in a few words.

It's a pity that the dean doesn't know much, and there are only useless words like "that child doesn't talk" and "he looks cute" back and forth.

Like many orphanages in this era, this orphanage has old facilities, showing poverty and poverty everywhere.

Xu Jiao leaned closer to Zong Shen in fear. Although she lived here some time ago, she didn't pay any attention to observation. Anyway, it was just a place to provide identity and temporary residence. It didn't matter at all. Why was there any need to observe? ?

However, Xu Jiao had no choice but to walk in here at this time, only to find that the dilapidated orphanage was so empty, so empty and silent that it was terrifying, as if ghosts would come out of the corner at any moment.

Stepping into the only three-story small house, in the hall, the other children had already finished their meals and returned to the room early, only a six or seven-year-old child who was holding a cat was still here.

He sat on a small plastic stool near the window, neither crying nor fussing, looking obedient and cute.

But no one here except the headmaster would feel that way, especially when the children's dark, deep eyes stared at them.

Xu Jiao felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably a little strange, and in the strangeness, a little thought arose again.

She didn't see the scene where Lu Xingchen killed Zheng Qing, so she felt that even though the current scene was a bit weird, she was not very afraid of Lu Xingchen. Not only was she not afraid, but she also wanted to get something from Lu Xingchen The idea of ​​favorability.

Raiders who have experienced several worlds, even if they look stupid and just want to survive, how can they really have no ambition at all?

But ambition is ambition, and Xu Jiao still has self-knowledge. She knew that she was the weakest of the three, so she glanced at Zong Shen and asked tentatively, "Brother..."

From the moment he entered this dream, Zong Shen asked Xu Jiao to call him brother, and Xu Jiao was happy to get closer.

Zong Shen shook his head: "I don't quite understand the current situation, I plan to collect information first."

As he said this, he pointed to the aunt who was packing things and washing dishes in the kitchen.

Xu Jiao smiled shyly: "Then I'll also go to inquire about the news. I just thought of a question and wanted to ask the dean."

At this time, the dean was talking softly to the new kid who was sitting on the small plastic stool by the window, asking him if he was getting used to it, and if anyone was bullying him.

Xu Jiao wanted to ask the dean, so she had to go there. Before she went, she took another look at Xu Baihe. Although she leaned towards Zong Shen, the three of them formed an alliance temporarily, but the threat to her life that Xu Baihe had brought to her was not as serious as before. It is easy to be forgotten, Xu Jiao is still subconsciously afraid of him, and at the same time cares about his thoughts.

Seeing through her small thoughts, Xu Baihe sneered coldly, and did not move his hands.

Xu Jiao swallowed when he acquiesced, and walked towards Lu Xingshen and the dean who were talking.

Behind her, Zong Shen who was heading towards the kitchen stopped, met Xu Baihe's gaze, and smiled slightly.

Xu Baihe lowered his voice and taunted, "You're a fake guy."

An inescapable dream, an out-of-control system, a strange so-called "Devotion of Love" strategy development game, and a weird current situation.

What's the best course of action when you don't know what's going on?

It is to push a person out to test.

No matter what the result is, whether it is death or life, some information can always be obtained to break the current situation.

Zong Shen's expression did not change, he still had a gentle and amiable appearance. He opened his mouth, and the shape of his mouth was four words: "Everyone, each other."

Xu Baihe withdrew his gaze.

Before they entered the dreamland, they already had a tacit understanding that Xu Jiao was the backup cannon fodder, otherwise she would be almost indistinguishable from an oil bottle, what would be the value of being brought in?

He just couldn't get used to Zong Shenming's deep thoughts, he was probably more sinister than anyone else, but he always pretended to be a good person.

And Xu Jiao, who was treated as a consumable by the two people, carefully approached the two talking by the window.

She raised an innocent and cute smile to the dean's mother, and asked with a bright smile, "Mom, I know this little brother!"

Because of heart disease, and because of her good looks, all the adults in the orphanage loved her a little more, even if she wanted to go out with Jiang Yuan to pick up scraps, she agreed after talking a few times.

Xu Jiao has always used her strengths.

Sure enough, after seeing her alone, the dean who was still angry at their late return returned to being gentle and loving, and patted her head: "Really? How did Xiaobao meet little brother?"

"I met when I picked up waste with my brother, and my little brother also picked up waste with my grandfather." After she finished speaking, she asked Lu Xingchen curiously, "Little brother, my brother and I waited there for a long time a few days ago. I saved a bun and wanted to give it to you, why haven't you come?"

Of course she knew that the main character was because of his grandfather's death, but it didn't matter, she just wanted to find a topic, a topic that could arouse the other party's desire to talk and bring back fond memories of the past.

Just as Xu Jiao smiled and waited for Lu Xingchen to respond, before Lu Xingchen's answer came, the system that had been pretending to be dead just now under her call suddenly appeared again.

[Game player [Xu Jiao], your words brought back memories of the protagonist Lu Xingshen, and he fell into uncontrollable sadness. Please complete the following selection tasks to make the protagonist happy to increase the favorability.

Choice 1: Say to him "You look so good-looking, like an angel".

Choice 2: Say to him "You really look like an angel, you are very pretty."]

Xu Jiao: "..."

Don't be an ass, is there any difference between these two options?

Just as she was complaining, the system stepped up and urged: [Please complete the task quickly, otherwise it may cause the protagonist Lu Xingshen's favorability to drop and usher in unpredictable punishment. 】

Feeling flustered, Xu Jiao quickly looked at Lu Xingchen, trying to appear sincere, and said dryly, "You look so good-looking, just like an angel."

There was no change on Lu Xing's face. After a while, under the gaze of the dean, she replied "Oh", and then Xu Jiao heard the system broadcast——

[Unfortunately, your choice did not make the protagonist Lu Xingshen happy, favorability -5, please make persistent efforts and play hard. 】

Xu Jiao: ...Break the system and come out, what's the difference between the two options?There is no difference at all, which one is not the same?Doesn't favorability be deducted for which one you choose?Dare to be an individual?

With a breath choked in her throat, Xu Jiao looked at Lu Xingshen's unmoving face, like a paralyzed little face, and wanted to yell, God damn angel, are you blind in the system! ! !

As soon as I finished cursing in my heart, the system popped up again, and said slowly: [You are standing here, your strong body blocks the light, the protagonist Lu Xingchen is not very happy, and his favorability is -1, please continue to work hard and play hard . 】

Strong body? ? ?

Xu Jiao almost ran away.

In the end, she deeply felt that she really couldn't handle the protagonist, so she made a strategic retreat.

When returning back, Zong Shen was coming out of the kitchen, handed her and Xu Baihe a small rice ball each, and politely said goodbye to the dean's mother, offering to go upstairs and go back to the room to sleep.

After the three of them went up the stairs, they didn't go back to the room, but went to the bathroom.

Zong Shen took the initiative to speak: "I asked the aunt in the kitchen, and she told me that it is [-] o'clock in the evening, and we usually return to the orphanage at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, but today we didn't come back on time. Angry. The protagonist, Lu Xingshen, arrived at the orphanage at noon, barely had lunch, and sat on a small stool by the window."

After he finished speaking, Xu Jiao still remained silent. She also knew that what happened to her just now was very important information, but the information she got at the price of reducing her favorability by 6 would make people unwilling to give it out like this. .

But it's not that I don't intend to give it, I just hope that I can get some benefits for myself.

The smile on the corners of Zong Shen's lips faded slightly, the chess pieces were no longer obedient.

Xu Baihe didn't have that much patience, he kicked on the water platform next to him, and said impatiently: "It's your turn."

Xu Jiao was taken aback, her eyes were clouded with mist, and she looked shocked and frightened.

Xu Baihe sneered: "It's all now, who doesn't know who's details? Are you pretending to be a ghost?"

Biting her lip, Xu Jiao glanced at Zong Shen, the arc of Zong Shen's smile remained unchanged, knowing that he would not stand up for her, and finally honestly told what happened just now.

After speaking, in order to show that she didn't lie, she pulled out the system's virtual light screen, and the task she just performed appeared on it.

After explaining, Xu Jiao asked Zong Shen worriedly: "What should we do now?"

Zong Shen: "Your mission is only triggered after you come into contact with the protagonist. In any case, a decrease in favorability is never a good thing. First, try to minimize contact with the protagonist Lu Xingchen, avoid a little, and reduce the triggering of the mission."

That's all for now.

Xu Baihe frowned and asked Zong Shen: "Menghui is yours, and you don't have any understanding or guesses about the current situation?"

Zong Shen shook his head: "There is too little information, and you still feel that this dream is controlled by the dream? You saw me turn it off just now. But don't worry too much, the current situation is far from bad. "

Xu Jiao didn't understand, they were all trapped in this world, how could it not be a bad thing, but Zong Shen and Xu Baihe understood very well, compared to Zheng Qing who died without any scum left, they were really not a bad thing , at least there is room for maneuver.

But definitely not good either.

Zong Shen's eyes dimmed.

If it really gets to that point, perhaps the only option is to resort to the last resort...

Downstairs, the dean's mother asked, "What is Ah Chen looking at?"

Lu Xingshen withdrew his gaze from the direction of the bathroom on the second floor, "It's nothing."

Dean: "You should go to sleep."

Nodding, the child holding the kitten slowly went upstairs.

And behind him, darkness engulfed everything.

While lying on the bed, the illusory moonlight shone through the window, Fang Lingfei licked Lu Xingchen's cheek, biting the corner of the quilt and pulling it to cover him.

Lu Xingshen propped up a small place near his heart under the quilt to make room for him.

After the nuannuan ball nestled there, he said softly: "Maomao, my heart hurts, my heart hurts so much."

"Not only does my heart hurt, but I'm also very hungry, very hungry."

Fang Lingfei "meow meow" anxiously, and wanted to jump up to call someone, but Lu Xingshen hugged him, trapped him in his arms, and stroked his smooth fur.

"It's okay, just wait, just wait, it will be fine in a few days."
