The author has something to say:

I originally planned to pay back the change today, but my aunt was in pain, and I owed half a change TUT if I didn’t pay it back.

After you get better (within seven days), you must pay back the two chapters you owe!

Also, if you read yesterday's chapter before ten o'clock this morning, you can go back and read the ending again.Modified.

This dungeon is coming to an end, give Qiaoqiao and Xiaoshen some sweetness, and move the original dinner party back.

On New Year's Day, it happened to be Sunday.

Chu Qiao had long been secretly looking forward to it, wondering if she should go out with Shen Yu this day.

But before, Shen Yu took nearly half a month's leave and missed many classes.I don't know whether to use New Year's Day to make up the progress.After thinking about it, Chu Qiao finally didn't ask.

".": [Are you free tomorrow morning? 】

However, on Saturday night, Chu Qiao received a gloomy news.

He was coming out of the shower, rubbing his hair with a small dinosaur towel.After receiving the gloomy WeChat message, Chu Qiao's eyes widened——

This was the first time Shen Yu sent him a message.

Although the two friends have been added a long time ago, they have never been in touch with each other.

At that time, Chu Qiao thought that people like Shen Yu would not know how to use WeChat at all—after all, it looked like he hadn't even posted on Moments.

Even the nickname is an extremely simple ".".

Chu Qiao stared at this message for 2 minutes, then held her breath, thought for a while, and replied:

"Ah."

Chu Qiao's avatar and nickname are both an icon of a small moon, compared with Shen Yu's dark and simple ".", it's like two spies working underground are meeting.

".": "Then do you want to come out and play?"

"Little moon symbol jpg": "OK."

It was eleven fifty-four at this time.Holding the phone, Chu Qiao thought blankly:

So...does this count as a date?

If you hang out with Shen Yu alone, it's like a date.

".": "Then I have something to give you."

But before Chu Qiao could think it through, Shen Yu sent another message.

Chu Qiao paused: "What?..."

".": "Go to the window."

Chu Qiao: "..."

At that moment, Chu Qiao thought that he would see some sudden surprise.

Just like in some film and television drama novels, melancholy appears suddenly, but with a large handful of balloons, as soon as you let go of your hand, countless lightly swaying colored balls float towards you.

...Although it is clichéd, in Chu Qiao's heart, it seems that she really looked forward to it for a second.

It's just... when Chu Qiao walked to the balcony.

Nothing happened on the balcony.

Outside the window is still the endless night, and the empty howling cold wind.

It even made Chu Qiao shiver from the cold.

...What are you doing?

depressed this person.

Chu Qiao flinched.He lowered his eyelashes a little, and sent a message to Shen Yu:

"I didn't see anything."

Shen Yu didn't know if the corners of her lips were curled, being coquettish by his invisible message.But soon, he replied to Chu Qiao:

"One more minute. Wait a minute."

"..."

"Oh."

Chu Qiao: "What is it... so mysterious?"

But before the last send button was pressed, suddenly, Chu Qiao saw that the time display on the top of the phone screen jumped to "00:00".

It's New Year's Day.

It's the new year.

Chu Qiao was hesitating whether to send Shen Yu a "Happy New Year" when suddenly, there was a loud "boom" in her ears——

Countless whistling and sharp sounds followed one after another. Before hearing the sound, Chu Qiao's eyes were occupied by the gorgeous light and shadow——

It's fireworks! !

Countless fireworks with colorful lights and shadows bloom one after another, in full bloom.It appeared in front of him brilliantly like flowing fire, illuminating the boy's eyes and the whole world for a moment.

"Depressed..."

Chu Qiao murmured.

Amidst the booming fireworks, the phone vibrated slightly abruptly.

Just as Chu Qiao was in a daze, Shen Yu called her voice.

Chu Qiao picked it up in a panic, and the boy's low and cool voice came from the microphone.

There was a faint smile in his voice, and he asked, "Do you like it?"

Chu Qiao twitched her nose and nodded vigorously: "...I like it."

The grand and roaring fireworks were blooming in front of her ears, Chu Qiao thought: This is the first time someone has set off such grand fireworks for him.

Although I have seen gorgeous fireworks before, but there has never been a single one that belongs to him alone.

There are always more or less people standing together, sharing the fireworks with him.

Thinking of this, Chu Qiao's heart couldn't help becoming slightly warmer: it seemed that there was a flower in this world that belonged only to him and only bloomed for him to see.

"Fireworks are like shooting stars, they can only be seen for a short moment."

Shen Yu said softly: "But for this, they have to pay the price of falling forever. Before the meteor appears in front of your eyes, it has traveled for tens of millions of years, traversing mountains and rivers, to be able to illuminate the sky for a moment when you look at the sky;

Only when fireworks gather all the heat and light can they be the most gorgeous and perfect when they appear in front of you...even if they are waiting for it to be extinguished forever. "

"..."

Chu Qiao clenched the phone slightly.

"What I want to tell you is, Chu Qiao."

Sullen paused for a while, and after a while, Chu Qiao heard him continue: "If possible, I would like to be the shooting stars and fireworks you see, let you make a wish, and I am also willing to fall for you."

Chu Qiao: "..."

In the silence of the fireworks in the night sky, Shen Yu and Chu Qiao listened to each other's breathing, without making a sound for a long time.

After a while, Shen Yu smiled first, and Chu Qiao heard him say: "Just now I just showed you something fun, I haven't given you the real gift yet."

Chu Qiao was dumbfounded, and said "Oh", and didn't know what to say.

"You go forward."

Said gloomyly.

Chu Qiao held the phone and moved forward.

"Are you ready to pick up the stars?"

asked gloomyly.

Chu Qiao was stunned, but she hadn't recovered yet, when she saw many bright and faint light spots coming from downstairs——

It's like stars twinkling slowly in the night sky...!

Chu Qiao rubbed her eyes to look, only to see that the goose yellow flashing light turned out to be small bugs.

There are small lanterns hanging on the tail bag, twinkling like stars.

It's fireflies! ...

Chu Qiao opened her mouth in surprise, and reached out to touch it.Sure enough, a "star" with fluttering wings landed on his fingertips.It stayed for a moment, then flew away quickly.

"In the new year, I will love you without picking up the moon, and I will cherish you more than cherishing life."

In Chu Qiao's speechless silence, Shen Yu said: "If you accept it, I will love it forever; if you don't accept it, I can also have a crush on it forever." "*Note 1"

"........."

It's hard to say what kind of imprint the extremely gorgeous fireworks and the "stars" in front of her eyes left on Chu Qiao's heart.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be that I have been away from this dungeon world for a long time, and I have seen many "protagonists" in other worlds. I am always depressed, and I am the most special one.

***

On January [-]st, the new year has really arrived.

According to the plot of the original dungeon, after this year of depression, he will soon embark on the road of killing the Quartet.

But the big devil who is about to kill everyone... is queuing up to buy ice cream with Chu Qiao at the amusement park.

"Purple taro or chocolate?"

asked gloomyly.

Purple taro and chocolate flavors are the signature choices of this playground, but Chu Qiao stared at the light-screen menu above her head for a long while, and said nothing.

"Um……"

Actually he wants strawberries.

...But a boy, in such a situation, in front of everyone, it's strange to ask for a cup of strawberry ice cream...

After struggling for a while, Chu Qiao's lips parted, but she didn't have the courage to say those words.

"what happened?"

Frowning gloomyly, sensing Chu Qiao's embarrassment, she lowered her head to listen to him talking to herself alone.

"I want strawberries."

Chu Qiao whispered authentically.After exiting, feeling a little embarrassed, he tugged at the corner of Shen Yu's clothes and said, "Can you stop saying that I want to..."

Shen Yu understood Chu Qiao's meaning very well.So I saw the boy with a cold and surly temperament, who seemed to be quite alienated, and said to the boss frankly:

"Boss, give me a box of strawberry ice cream."

boss:"……"

The girl in line behind: "..."

After getting it, he added: "Give my friend a box of thick chocolate flavor later."

Chu Qiao: "..."

Then, under the gaze of strange eyes from all directions, the two calmly scanned the QR code and left the scene.

"Here."

After leaving the public eye, Shen Yu and Chu Qiao returned to ice cream.Chu Qiao admires Shen Yu's psychological quality of completely disregarding other people's eyes.He thanked Shen Yu with no lack of awe and said, "Thank you."

A gloomy "hmm" said: "It's okay."

"Why can you not care about other people's eyes?"

Chu Qiao said softly: "Aren't you worried that others will think you are strange?"

"Whether they find it strange or not is their business."

Shen Yu replied in a low voice: "There are so many people in the world, it is impossible for me to take care of everyone. What's more, I am not related to them, why should I care about their feelings? I only care about whether you are happy today or not." .”

"........."

Chu Qiao lowered her head to eat ice cream with a warm face, not knowing what to say.With a spoonful, the strawberry-flavored smoothie melted in your mouth, and it seemed to be a little sweeter than usual.

There are many interesting items in the playground.For example, Ferris wheel, carousel, jumping machine... Shen Yu and Chu Qiao didn't miss any of them.

Chu Qiao's coat got wet when she was playing a water sport called "Rain and Sunny".Despite wearing a raincoat, the light-colored clothes were still very wet.

In order to avoid catching the cold and revealing the clothes inside, Shen Yu took off her coat again to Chu Qiao.

This was already beyond count how many times he gave Chu Qiao his coat.

From being afraid of depression pheromones at the beginning, to gradually accepting them... Chu Qiao's attitude towards depression pheromones has also undergone a 180-degree change.

"Would you like to visit the haunted house?"

After clearing most of the items in the playground, the sky is gradually getting late.Chu Qiao felt that it was appropriate to go to the haunted house at such a time, so she took the initiative to ask Shen Yu about it.

He paused gloomyly, he didn't expect the boy to have such courage.Ask: "Do you dare?"

"..."

The third lieutenant colonel can't listen to such words!

So immediately Chu Qiao took the initiative to line up with depression, and took the first step into the dark room to prove her courage.

...The result was naturally frightened to the point of crying and howling.

"You, why are you pulling my clothes?"

In the blood-smeared school hospital, Chu Qiao stared at the NPC with a knife across his neck, her voice was timid and trembling uncontrollably: "You...don't come here...I'm afraid of QUQ."

Probably, I have never encountered such a player who said "I'm afraid" openly and calmly, and the NPCs were stunned for a moment.

Chu Qiao and him kept looking at each other, like a weak little rabbit insisting on looking up at the tiger.

Shen Yu found the round engraved seal needed for the task in the corner, stamped it, and walked over calmly.Ignoring the NPC the whole time, she said to Chu Qiao, "Let's go."

Chu Qiao: "...I can't go anymore."

Gloomy: "...?"

Chu Qiao: "...the legs are weak..."

So depressed and helpless, he had to squat down like he did during drama training, and let Chu Qiao sit on his back again.

Carried him out the whole way.

"Sorry……"

It wasn't until she came out and saw the real lighting again that Chu Qiao took a breath as if she could finally breathe again.

Shen Yu saw that his eyes were red with fright, and he looked extremely aggrieved, and his heart felt like soaking a slice of lemon in warm water.

It is warm and soft, and slightly astringent.

"It's ok."

Shen Yu said: "It's good if you've played it. If you come out early—"

But before he finished saying "It's good to come out early", he was suddenly interrupted by another voice.

"—clang clang clang!"

It's the staff next to it.They walked over with a smile and said:

"You two, I'm sorry! You left the haunted house without completing the task just now. According to the procedure, you will be punished~"

"..."

The setting of the haunted house is that the two of them, as "metaphysics" explorers, entered the school where supernatural events had occurred.Find out the truth about the mysterious deaths of several students.

There will also be clues and stamps in each house, and you need to collect all the stamps and clues to come out.

But when Shen Yu saw that Chu Qiao was frightened just now, she didn't look for clues at all.It only came out after the first chapter of "Deceitful Corpse School Hospital".

... Now seeing the "punishment" notice from the staff, Chu Qiao recalled the horrible memory just now.Worrying will be as scary as the mission inside.

But timidity is timidity, the third lieutenant colonel is quite responsible!

Chu Qiao stepped out and said, "I'm the one who wants to come out. Don't blame him... If you want to punish, just punish me."

Seeing the young man blocking himself behind, as if in a protective stance, the corners of his depressed lips could not help but bend.

"Excuse me, sir."

However, the staff smiled and said: "Our 'punishment' measures must be completed by two people. One person can't complete it... But don't worry, it's not a difficult punishment. Test the cooperation of the two It's all right...!"

"...What kind of punishment."

Chu Qiao was still not at ease, and asked in a low voice.

"There are many kinds, you can come and smoke."

The staff pointed to the opaque obscura on the side.

The obscura was about the size of a small storage box on a desk. Chu Qiao walked over and stretched out her hand nervously.Fumble inside carefully.

After finally saying "God bless" many times silently, I picked one of them, took it out and unfolded it carefully.

Sullen and the staff all stood aside.Watch the results of the draw with Chu Qiao.

However, when all the characters on the note finally appeared, both Shen Yu and Chu Qiao froze for a moment.

Only the staff smiled and said:

"Oh, it's playing cards."

Picking cards, as the name suggests, means that one person grabs a poker card in a certain position when he cannot use his hand.

But the reason why this game is set as punishment is because it also sets many other obstacles in the process of drawing cards.

For example, the party looking for cards is required to block the line of sight, and only the other party can see the partner as the "eye".

Then the visible "eyes" remind the position of the board, how to move up, down, left, and right, forward or backward, etc.

Such a game described by one party and implemented by the other party naturally requires an extremely high degree of tacit understanding between the two parties.

Seeing such a game, Shen Yu and Chu Qiao couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Two, who is going to look for the cards?"

After confirming the content of the note, the staff found a cloth belt to tie the eyes.She asked Chu Qiao and Shen Yu with a smile.

Chu Qiao curled her fingers, unable to bear to let Shen Yu be punished again for his timidity.He took the initiative to choose the more difficult way to find it.

"Me." The boy said.

The staff smiled: "Okay. Come on."

The pitch-black cloth belt was fastened in front of her eyes, and Chu Qiao's vision went dark again.

This feeling is a bit familiar. Not long ago, when he was doing ice-breaking exercises, he had already experienced it...

While listening to the staff read the rules of the game, Chu Qiao prayed silently in her heart.I hope that the gloomy description matches his thoughts tacitly, so that he can find the position of the card at once...

However, the boy didn't know that, after confirming that Chu Qiao couldn't see it, the staff sent the card he was looking for to Shen Yu.

Signaling depression to hold on.

Gloomy: "...?"

The staff member whispered, "Yes."

Gloomy: "..."

The other party's eyes and movements are silently urging.

Shen Yu repeatedly confirmed that he had not misunderstood the meaning of the staff, then hesitated for a moment, and still bit the card.

"You can hold it first, and then hold it when it comes over."

The staff member said softly: "We have also sterilized the card, it is very hygienic."

Then he couldn't help smiling, and walked aside.

A Beta girl with a haunted house staff card stepped forward and waved her finger in front of Chu Qiao.After confirming that Chu Qiao could not see, she said with a smile:

"start!--"

Looking at the young man standing not far away, Shen Yu has never expected Chu Qiao to walk in front of him like this...nor has he been so afraid of Chu Qiao walking in front of him...

Because he didn't know whether Chu Qiao was disgusted or acceptable.

When he took off the strip of cloth and saw each other's eyes, was he surprised, or dodged reflexively...

But no matter what the result is, he is willing to witness it with his own eyes.

Pensively hanging his fingers by his side, he curled up silently.

There was about five meters between Chu Qiao and Shen Yu.

It's fairly flat in the middle, with no obstacles of potential safety concern.

The young man fell into the darkness at the beginning, he was hesitant, and he seemed restrained slightly.

Chu Qiao stretched out her hand and groped for a while, then she remembered to ask Shen Yu: "Are you ready... Shall I start?"

"Ah."

Shen Yu held the card in his hand, followed what the staff said, and reminded Chu Qiao as usual: "Go ahead."

However, it wasn't until she was blindfolded and plunged into the darkness that Chu Qiao realized that it is actually impossible for people to judge whether they have been walking in a straight line.

The sense of direction will be affected by the line of sight, and you will involuntarily go "crooked".

The young man stumbled here and there, walking in confusion in nothingness.Shen Yu had to keep reminding him:

"Slightly to the right"

"It's time to turn the corner."

"Be careful with your feet."

……

Chu Qiao felt that she was clumsy and slow, and her performance must have been bad.

But the gloomy voice was always with him, patient and gentle, without the slightest hint of urging.Just forever there waiting for him.

Just like a person lost in the way, there is always a bright light shining above his head, guiding him gently and peacefully.

"It was the direction of the fireworks on our day."

After Chu Qiao almost went astray again, Shen Yu suddenly said.

His description is really abstract and obscure.

The surrounding staff didn't know what he meant by "the direction of the fireworks".

But Chu Qiao understood.

...It was the direction of the fireworks that he asked him to walk to the balcony on New Year's Eve.

Strange to say, it is extremely difficult to find the "right" and "ahead" way in the dark.But even if she fell into nothingness, the direction of the fireworks seen on the balcony was clearly engraved in Chu Qiao's mind.

He followed the memory to the direction guided by depression, and finally miraculously got close to the target.

"Um... is it here?"

Walking awkwardly to Shen Yu, the blindfolded boy looked up and asked.

He stumbled all the way, and his walk was not smooth, but he firmly approached depression a little bit.

However, for some reason, when Chu Qiao approached the "target", the gloomy voice disappeared instead.

The last time he told Chu Qiao, the reminder was "very close, the range of movement should be smaller".

So Chu Qiao stood in front of Shen Yu at this time, she was also very cautious.I don't know what kind of scene is in front of me, and which fine position the playing cards are hidden in.

"Depressed?"

Chu Qiao couldn't help calling him again.

The boy looked around in confusion, trying to find the source of the gloomy voice.

But Shen Yu never made a sound again.

Chu Qiao panicked.

Subconsciously, he wanted to untie the tie to see where depression was.But the staff reminded me in time, saying:

"Everything is fine. Your partner is still on the scene, please finish the game before taking off the belt."

So Chu Qiao gave a slight pause and had no choice but to continue the game.

But the only luck is that when he was looking around and confirming the direction of depression just now, Chu Qiao raised her head inadvertently——

At that moment, his lips seemed to touch something very cold and slightly hard——

...It seems to be a card!

Chu Qiao hesitated for a moment, and the next moment, he opened his mouth slightly and bit it.

But just when he was delighted to confirm that the bite was the card, Chu Qiao immediately discovered...

The card seems to be stuck.

Can't move?
