Chapter 1952: After the Rewind, I Love You Again 28

No……

No

The yin soul inside the body collided in a daze, but it could never overcome the other, more majestic god soul.

It sensed what Jin Chen wanted to express.

This body should have died!

No no no no

It shouldn't be like this!

Hum—

After the sharp humming sound, everything disappeared.

Jin Chen stood again in the washroom with the shattered mirror.

He had not left just now.

【Solo broadcast! Main Line Quest: Evil ghost yin soul collection successful, Main Line Quest progress 50%!】

【Real-time broadcast: Number of survivors 25.】

【Congratulations to players Jin Chen and Dao Cun, each receiving one Clearance Gold Coin, with one remaining.】

——

Opening the washroom door again, Jin Chen saw Ruan Fu, who had come out first.

In the warm yellow glow of the hallway, Jin Chen's shadow stretched, covering the person standing with their back to him, awakening the contemplative Ruan Fu before the sound of footsteps.

Ruan Fu was always composed, but when she turned, the unconscious little action of picking at the wall's pattern still revealed her anxiety and worry, and she let out a breath upon seeing Jin Chen.

"So slow." Ruan Fu's Adam's apple moved, and the phrase "Are you okay?" was chewed to pieces by Shengsheng between her teeth.

How could Jin Chen fail to notice Ruan Fu's not-so-good mood at the moment, guessing perhaps she was affected in the yin soul space.

He suddenly stepped forward half a step, pulling the unhappy Ruan Fu into his embrace, and their real, warm temperatures transmitted to each other.

"Really impressive, as expected of you." Jin Chen rubbed Ruan Fu's back of the head.

Ruan Fu's fingers hanging at her side twitched, clutching Jin Chen's hem, she tilted her head and buried her face in his shoulder, the corners of her mouth pressed into a line, and she felt an inexplicable, extraordinary dependence on this embrace.

Some things will never be spoken.

For example, in the ten minutes before Jin Chen came out, how many thoughts that could destroy this game rose in Ruan Fu's mind.

Also have to accept a worry that is deep to the point of being unspeakable, a clear-minded descent.

【Detected villain Ruan Fu's Heartbeat Value +10, total 55!】

Jin Chen lowered his head, his fingertip gently rubbing Ruan Fu's slightly red eye corners, and placed a soft kiss at the corner of her lips.

This kiss was more thrilling than any time before.

"Ruan Fu, Xiangxiang." Jin Chen spoke in a relaxed and gentle tone, breaking the heavy atmosphere that lingered in the worry, "May I have the right to kiss you many times?"

"... As you wish."

Ruan Fu suddenly tightened her grip on Jin Chen's arm, her tone turning dangerous, "If you... lie to me again, I will truly hate you."

He just can't let go of his obsession with this.

Returning to the third floor, hearing the players who opened the door upon the Clearance Gold Coin broadcast, they all shot Jin Chen looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Ruan Fu drew a dagger.

The players swiped the door shut, not daring to pause even a moment.

Ji Luo and the three others were in a room sorting clues; seeing them return, three pairs of eyes lifted in unison.

Gao Kai was still immersed in shock, but he didn't forget to ask, "How could you encounter a Clearance Gold Coin while bathing together?"

Jin Chen: "There's a ghost in the washroom."

"Are you hurt?" Yun Zaozao asked.

"No..." "Jin Chen."

"Huh?"

Jin Chen sat down, looking up at Ruan Fu leaning by the door, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Fu threw the short blade that Jin Chen had forgotten in the washroom to him, "Keep it safe, don't lose it."

"Okay."

With that interruption, Yun Zaozao also couldn't continue her earlier worried inquiry; she lowered her eyes in thought, gazing at the expressionless Ruan Fu.

At the same time.

【Detected villain Cheng Chuan's Blackening Value -30, total 65!】

Jin Chen was very relieved.

That brat Cheng Chuan finally knows he saved his life?

However, this Blackening Value dropped too fast.

——

In fact, the moment Cheng Chuan woke up in reality, he realized everything Jin Chen had done.

He knew how important the Clearance Gold Coin was.

After sitting on the sofa for a long while, Cheng Chuan wiped his face, stood up, and connected to the video call his grandmother had placed.

"Grandma..."

Cheng Chuan paused, then smiled and said, "I'll go back this afternoon; you'd better prepare something good to eat."

"Chuan'er, you didn't say these days you'd be busy with work, huh? I know you want to come keep me, this old lady, company, but you don't need to worry."

Grandma Cheng laughed happily, "Chenchen just came to see me yesterday."

Cheng Chuan froze, "What...?"

Jin Chen, did you go see me yesterday?

Yeah, and he also asked about your recent situation—haven't you two met in a while?

Cheng Chuan suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

Jin Chen is still in the game—how could he have gone to see Grandma?

His first reaction was that Grandma was in danger, but after thinking again, the strangeness of seeing Jin Chen again surfaced.

Grandma, is Jin Chen still at the hometown?

Yes, he said he had something to deal with and came to stay at my place." Old Lady Cheng had just finished speaking when she saw Cheng Chuan impatiently say: "I'm coming back now, Grandma, wait for me at home."

Huh… what's this kid rushing about for?" Old Lady Cheng wondered and hung up.

Cheng Chuan quickly gathered his things and hurried back to the hometown.

Standing in the courtyard, Cheng Chuan was certain he hadn't mistaken.

One Jin Chen is in the holographic death game, another is here, completely identical.

Jin Chen

Cheng Chuan shouted.

The protagonist Chen instinctively turned around; upon seeing Cheng Chuan, his eyes darted away and he gave an unnatural dry laugh, saying, "You came back so fast."

"Aren't you surprised to see me?" Cheng Chuan stared unblinkingly at the man before him, finally feeling the familiarity he hadn't sensed from Jin Chen in the game, allowing his resentment an outlet.

But he didn't understand why that person, who had never harmed him, would offer unconditional help and trust.

And why are there two Jin Chens?

The protagonist Chen thought of something, hurriedly changed the subject, speaking extremely fast.

"This isn't the point, Cheng Chuan—do you know? I… I almost died once! Moreover, it seems someone else has stolen my identity!"

"Actually… that person is the one who got you thrown into prison!"

Cheng Chuan: "……"

He now realized what the sense of wrongness was.

That Jin Chen may lack a filter, but at least he has brains.

——

In the dead of night.

Jin Chen, with a clear mission objective, would naturally not let the cleaning ghost slip by.

He hadn't meant to wake Ruan Fu beside him, but as he sat up he saw her eyes open, and Jin Chen helplessly pinched her cheek.

"The cleaning ghost isn't hard to kill—keep sleeping."

"You're too weak."

Ruan Fu's eyelids twitched; she sprang up and snatched a dagger, saying, "I don't think a brain‑tumor patient can be that formidable."

Jin Chen raised his brows, clutched his chest, deeply moved, and said, "My wife really cares about me."

"... Keep up."

Ruan Fu's ears flushed red for a moment, and she stepped out ahead.

Ji Luo, woken on the sofa: "......"

Ha ha.

You guys really make it easy to have no friends.

Moreover, what's good about doing this in the middle of the night? Ghosts don't come knocking—why are you going out to look for them?
