Chapter 1939: After the Rewind, Love You Again 15

Jin Chen still couldn't learn the reason for leaving from Ruan Fu.

After all, his trust value in Ruan Fu's heart was zero, which Jin Chen could understand.

But he wasn't very willing to accept it.

He shuffled over to Ruan Fu's side, hesitating, completely lacking the awareness of someone about to be killed, and even casually glanced at the screen.

To avoid any strange misunderstanding, the moment he made eye contact with Ruan Fu, Jin Chen immediately explained: "I'm just returning everything I snatched from Yun Zaozao; Ji Luo's is the same."

"I'm making amends, with no other intention."

Ruan Fu fell silent for a moment, then said somewhat uncomfortably: "Who asked you?"

"Alright, no one asked me; I just wanted to explain myself."

Jin Chen responded seriously, then lowered his head in grievance: "Why aren't you jealous, Ruan Fu?"

Ruan Fu: "……"

Is Jin Chen's brain tumor just pressing on his intellect?

"We've already broken up." Ruan Fu reminded.

"Good breakup." Jin Chen replied without hesitation, then lifted his gaze to him; the expression in his peach-blossom eyes was impossible to refuse: "So I'm now pursuing you again—okay?"

"No."

"If you don't kill me now, you're soft-hearted, so I'll take that as your agreement."

"……"

Since that night when he said those weird words, Ruan Fu has noticed Jin Chen becoming increasingly shameless.

Ruan Fu angrily snapped the computer shut with a "pa" sound, the unobscured brows and eyes suffused with annoyance: "Who said I don't want to kill you?"

Jin Chen stared at him, then after a while suddenly frowned and moved closer.

"You seem a bit weak."

Ruan Fu's expression shifted slightly; despite his instinctive unease at this closeness, he reflexively flicked out a dagger from his sleeve: "Get lost."

But the force of his arm pressing forward was too great; a flicker of pain flashed across Ruan Fu's brows and eyes, gone in an instant—just enough for Jin Chen to catch.

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Chen insisted.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Ruan Fu gritted his teeth: "It has nothing to do with you… Jin Chen!"

At the moment he was grabbed by the waist and pressed down, Ruan Fu caught a faint, inexplicable fragrance at the tip of his nose; the inexplicable aversion etched into his bones faded, and that night's palpitation seemed to tug at his heart, surging back.

Jin Chen snatched the dagger from his hand, his palm firmly wrapping around and pressing against Ruan Fu's lower back, observing more closely: "Are you injured?"

"... Let go." Ruan Fu still didn't answer.

Jin Chen lowered his head to plant a kiss, brushed aside Ruan Fu's disheveled silver hair, and, meeting a gaze that could kill, said again: "If you don't speak, I'll keep kissing."

Clearly a threat, yet landing in Ruan Fu's ears it felt utterly indulgent.

Ruan Fu's struggling motions ceased.

His Adam's apple rolled as he stared motionlessly at Jin Chen, as if trying to see through this man.

"I went for treatment." Ruan Fu said icily, close up.

Seeing Jin Chen's startled expression, Ruan Fu felt a grim satisfaction in tearing open past wounds, enunciating each word: "Every fatal injury on my body leaves a sequela."

These sequelae let him almost every night recall that pain; in countless damp nights where blood soaked the sheets, they cultivated the deepest hatred.

Jin Chen let out a light sigh, heartbroken as he covered Ruan Fu's face with his palm, gently stroking.

The three words "sorry," rolled on Jin Chen's tongue, eventually becoming a kiss landing on the corner of Ruan Fu's lips.

A warm, gentle kiss that made one feel the heartache.

After a long while, Ruan Fu turned his head away, the corners of his eyes faintly moist.

From afar, it looked more like Ruan Fu buried in Jin Chen's embrace, seeking warmth in this afternoon devoid of security.

Jin Chen's next kiss, laid over again, was long and deep.

"Jin Chen." Ruan Fu suddenly hoarsely called; hearing Jin Chen's response, the arm clinging to his shoulder tightened instantly, biting into Jin Chen's fragile neck.

Jin Chen offered no resistance, letting Ruan Fu bite down, even rubbing the back of his neck.

【Detected Heartbeat Value of villain Ruan Fu +5, total 17!】

【Detected Blackening Value of villain Ruan Fu -3, total 95!】

Suddenly, a white light enveloped the two people in the room.

Jin Chen's pupils contracted slightly; he reacted quickly, immediately pulling Ruan Fu into his embrace.

——

〖Death Game welcomes your return again. 〗

After regaining composure, Jin Chen and Ruan Fu exchanged a glance in the inn.

Jin Chen lowered his head again to look at his neck; a hint of blood seeped through.

Ruan Fu pressed his lips, glared at Jin Chen, actively averted his gaze, ears slightly red.

Yun Zaozao watched the two appearing together; behind his lenses, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he tugged at his lips at the approaching Jin Chen.

"Rest assured." He said silently.

Jin Chen knew he was responding to the café conversation; he nodded, then met Cheng Chuan's gaze.

To be precise, it was the burly man behind Cheng Chuan.

【Detected Blackening Value of villain Gao Kai: 60!】

Finally, the world's last unlucky villain appeared—and it was Cheng Chuan who found him.

Jin Chen didn't know what attitude to take, and immediately saw Gao Kai rush over angrily.

"Damn, I finally found you, you turtle grandson!"

If it weren't for inexplicably stepping in front of a bullet for this guy, he wouldn't have been so unlucky as to be snatched into this game!

Jin Chen stepped back half a step, hid behind Ruan Fu, and peeked to look at Gao Kai. "Dage, thank you for your righteous bravery— is there anything we can discuss?"

The players who were in the same scene as the newcomer area and Hope Team in the previous level, upon seeing Jin Chen so timid, all had their jaws drop.

"Let's discuss you…"

Before the swear words could even come out, they were cut off by the ringing game prompt.
