The two sat in silence for a moment.
Lu Fengmian suddenly let out another sigh, “I am still thinking about whether I should just shut down the game server, what if the players face danger.”
Hearing her words, Qing Shi’s eyes dimmed once again, “Does Mianmian still not trust me?”
“It is not that I do not trust you, it is just that you cannot calculate every single thing either,” it was truly not a matter of disbelieving what Qing Shi said, but rather feeling from the bottom of her heart that no one could know what unforeseen changes might arise in the future.
“So for their sake, do you want to abandon me again?” She lowered her eyes aggrievedly.
“Liar,” she had just said earlier that she did not blame her and would not hate her.
Lu Fengmian really could not stand her aggrieved appearance.
Even though she usually maintained a cold and aloof demeanor in front of outsiders, when facing her, she would act aggrieved at every turn, looking so much like a little green tea bitch.
“I never said I did not want you, shutting down the game server merely means they cannot enter anymore, it does not mean I, the game producer, cannot enter,” Lu Fengmian was caught between tears and laughter.
Qing Shi raised her eyes to look at Lu Fengmian, and the red in her eyes had not even faded, “Is that true?”
Lu Fengmian’s fingertip rested at the corner of her eye, “It’s true.”
“I wanted to ask you last time, why do your eyes turn red one moment and grey the next?”
Qing Shi let out a soft, embarrassed cough, “That happens when I fail to control my emotions.”
“Oh, going berserk,” Lu Fengmian pinched her exquisite face, “Keep it under control.”
Qing Shi tilted her head slightly, looking obedient, “Okay.”
“Then if I am good, can Mianmian kiss me?” She blinked innocently at Lu Fengmian, her restored light grey eyes revealing a pure clarity.
Who could have guessed that such a person was a sinner!
And did she even know that doing this was completely foul play!
Lu Fengmian unconsciously averted her gaze, unable to look any longer, for if she looked any more, what little self-control she had left would crumble.
At times, Lu Fengmian truly suspected that Qing Shi was well aware she possessed beauty that Lu Fengmian could not resist, and was intentionally treating her this way.
However, she had no evidence.
“Why does Mianmian not want to look at me, am I not pretty?” Qing Shi unreasonably questioned Lu Fengmian again.
“You are pretty,” Lu Fengmian still did not turn her head, answering her somewhat perfunctorily.
Qing Shi curled her lips into a smile, her beautiful eyes shining as if sparkling with starlight, “Even if I were not pretty, it would be useless, since Mianmian created me yourself.”
“Alright, alright, I did not say you were not pretty, do not talk nonsense,” Lu Fengmian could not stand her nonsensical chatter.
Could she actually admit that she was completely head over heels captivated by her beauty? How embarrassing that would be, and even quite shameful.
“Okay, then that means you like me,” Qing Shi said to herself.
Lu Fengmian could not help but laugh softly, thinking Qing Shi was quite narcissistic.
Seeing her like this, Qing Shi could not help but curl her lips slightly as well, how wonderful.
This was the first time since their reunion that Mianmian had smiled so easily in front of her.
Qing Shi naturally rested her head on Lu Fengmian’s shoulder, even reaching out to wrap her arm around Lu Fengmian’s waist.
At this moment, the two sat in a scenic spot outside the city, surrounded by gurgling streams alongside blooming flowers overhead, so setting everything else aside, this scene possessed a rather romantic atmosphere.
Sensing Qing Shi’s care and reliance toward her, that feeling of not knowing how to handle the relationship between them surfaced in her heart once more.
Now that official matters were discussed, it was inevitable to think back to those personal matters between them.
Qing Shi kept telling her to take responsibility, but as for how she should take responsibility, Lu Fengmian still could not figure it out.
They did not belong to the same world, and she herself carried tasks and a system.
Qing Shi possessed a boundless lifespan, while she could not accompany her for that long.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt her brain must have short-circuited that day, otherwise how could she.
Regretting the past, regretting the past endlessly.
Seeing her dazing off again, Qing Shi could not help but grab her hand, taking a bite out of her fair wrist and leaving a ring of tooth marks.
Hurt by the pain, Lu Fengmian pulled her hand back, looking at the tooth marks on her wrist, “Are you a dog?”
She was simply a childish fool, Lu Fengmian could not help but complain in her heart.
Of course, childish in a somewhat cute way.
While Lu Fengmian was letting her thoughts wander in her mind, she suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her chest.
Following that, a chilling coldness in her hands and feet gradually spread throughout her entire body.
Lu Fengmian’s complexion rapidly turned incomparably pale.
Bound to her by a soul contract, Qing Shi instantly noticed her anomaly.
Her fingertips immediately rested on Lu Fengmian’s wrist.
“Why is Mianmian’s body in such terrible condition?” Qing Shi’s eyebrows knitted tightly together.
She could not figure it out, for if Lu Fengmian’s poor physical health was due to the game’s designated constitution, then why was her soul so weak as well, even weaker than her own?
Qing Shi hurriedly injected her spiritual energy into Lu Fengmian’s body.
Lu Fengmian felt as though the illness of her game character and the severe illness of her body in reality had completely overlapped at this moment.
Her entire body felt freezing cold, her breathing grew difficult, and both her body and heart were aching.
However, as Qing Shi injected spiritual energy into her, these symptoms gradually eased significantly.
By the time Lu Fengmian returned to normal, she was still held in Qing Shi’s embrace.
Qing Shi was gently wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?” Qing Shi looked even more nervous than Lu Fengmian herself.
Lu Fengmian shook her head, “Thank you, I am fine now.”
She wanted to pull back from Qing Shi’s arms, but Qing Shi refused to let go, still holding her tightly, “Is that true?”
“It is true.”
Lu Fengmian instinctively checked the time, and only then did she realize that this time she had carelessly stayed in the game world for three days again.
She had gone three days without taking her medication, and unlike last time, she lacked the injection of Qing Shi’s spiritual energy, which was likely why the illness flared up.
“I need to go outside, if I do not leave now, next time you might really never see me again,” Lu Fengmian stopped struggling, speaking earnestly to Qing Shi instead.
Qing Shi’s eyebrows remained tightly knit as her gaze burned brightly on Lu Fengmian.
“Is Mianmian’s body over there in poor health as well?” Qing Shi asked anxiously.
Lu Fengmian nodded, “More or less, I am indeed a sickly person, so I really have to go out.”
Qing Shi released her, “Alright.”
After speaking, she hooked her fingers, and a burst of golden energy swirled in the air, after which two identical flower wreath bracelets appeared in Qing Shi’s hands.
A ring of spiritual energy surrounded the flower wreaths, and even a novice like Lu Fengmian could feel the majestic power contained within them.
“One for each of us, my spiritual energy is inside, which can relieve some discomfort for Mianmian,” as she spoke, she put the flower wreath bracelet on Lu Fengmian’s wrist.
The faint coolness transmitted from the bracelet indeed made Lu Fengmian feel much more comfortable.
“But aren’t you very weak yourself?” Lu Fengmian asked worryingly, for this world should still be quite dangerous, right?
“Is Mianmian concerned about me?” Qing Shi smiled slightly, looking eagerly at Lu Fengmian, the tight knit between her brows finally smoothing out as her face filled with anticipation.
Lu Fengmian gave her an exasperated look, thinking her mood shifted remarkably fast.
“Is asking a question considered concern? Perhaps I am merely a bit curious?” Lu Fengmian banteringly asked Qing Shi in return.
Qing Shi answered her with a serious face, “Then why are you not curious about others, but only curious about me? Is that not concern?”
Lu Fengmian was truly caught between tears and laughter this time, as she suddenly recalled a saying from her previous life: “You lesbians are truly outrageous.”
Fortunately, she was a straight woman.
