Chapter 269: Infinite Flow: Saving the Crazy Beautiful 28

Nanyu anxiously grabbed Jin Chen's arm and looked up at him.

"Will you return to the real world?"

Previously entering Shen Yuan Meng Jing was just an instance accident; Bai Guang Da Men is the crossover point between the game instance and real events, so Jin Chen will definitely return……

He pressed his lips, "Don't rest too long; if you plan to enter the instance, be sure to tell me."

"Nonsense, of course I'll go wherever you go."

Jin Chen ruffled his hair, "I said, even if you don't want to break through your mental barrier, I'll still be there with you."

"Really?"

"Yes, absolutely certain."

Nanyu then became happy, pulling Jin Chen toward Bai Guang Da Men.

As expected, the two returned to Shen Yuan Meng Jing.

Looking at the same darkness before him, Nanyu no longer felt the deathly silence and sense of disconnection he used to have upon just returning from an instance.

"A-Nan," Jin Chen took his hand, lowered his gaze, and their eyes met.

"What I said to you in the cabin earlier—how have you considered it?"

"Besides going to Shen Yuan Meng Jing……"

Nanyu tried to think, but every memory was nothing but bloody and filthy scenes.

"The outside is not good at all," he thought.

"Isn't this place good enough?" he asked, shaking his head, obviously reluctant to answer, "Just the two of us, no one else, occasionally going into the instance to play games—isn't that fine?"

He blinked at Jin Chen, his eyes pleading.

Jin Chen: "……"

Good, he was persuaded.

【Host!】0731 promptly woke him.

【But Little Pitiful One's heart demon hasn't faded; it could be influenced by Shen Yuan Meng Jing at any moment, causing loss of sanity, which is not good for him at all!】

"Cough…" Jin Chen gave a low cough, ultimately saying nothing more.

Nanyu's heart demon not gone, his rejection of the outside world will always exist; mere verbal persuasion is useless.

He still needs to administer the right treatment.

"Alright, you've been tired for so long; go rest."

Nanyu shook his hand, "Okay?"

"Fine, I'll listen to you."

After passing through the long dark corridor, Nanyu opened the bedroom door again.

But this time entering, his state of mind was markedly different.

Before, he only regarded this place as a shelter, sometimes accompanied by the loneliness after waking from a nightmare.

But seeing Jin Chen naturally tidying the bed, Nanyu suddenly felt it was different.

It seemed that just because of this extra person, the whole room's atmosphere became warm.

Nanyu couldn't help but walk to Jin Chen's side, curl into his embrace, and this scene inevitably stirred some feelings in him.

He wished time would stop so he could fully enjoy this wonderful atmosphere.

Jin Chen also sensed some of Nanyu's emotions, so he reached out and gently stroked his back, saying nothing more, just holding his beloved like that.

Shen Yuan Meng Jing has no distinction between day and night.

Usually when Nanyu felt mentally fatigued, he would lie down to sleep, because for him sleep sometimes is rest, but more often it is frequent nightmares.

But now with Jin Chen by his side, he no longer resists sleeping.

So he early on pulled the person onto the bed, lying entwined.

The dim yellow light was turned off; Jin Chen gazed at Nanyu's sleeping face and suddenly came up with an idea.

【0731, is there a way to enter his nightmare?】

【Oh! Yes! Dream Shuttle Device, 300 points.】

0731 found the usage instructions.

【The user can use the Dream Shuttle Device to enter the target's dream; in different dreams, the target's memories are shared, but the main plot cannot be altered. Host, will you use it?】

【Redeem.】

In just a few moments, the Dream Shuttle Device landed in Jin Chen's palm.

It consisted of two moon-blue ribbons connected by silver threads.

He wrapped each end around his and Nanyu's tightly pressed arms, then closed his eyes to enter the dream.

——

Jin Chen realized he was in a suburban area, the sky dim, aside from the lawn ahead, the surroundings were somewhat blurry.

【This is Little Pitiful One's dream.】0731 reminded.

He nodded and walked toward the lawn.

He saw that on both sides there were black luxury cars parked, the two parties facing off, an extremely frail child with a gun pressed to his head, kneeling in the center.

Jin Chen recalled this scene from the plot he had previously received.

This was Nanyu at ten years old, the year his family abandoned him.

"Nan Family Head, do you really not care at all about your son?"

The middle-aged man in a black tactical jacket on the left was obviously surprised, "Even a tiger doesn't eat its cub."

"Hmph! You want to use him to threaten me? No way!"

The Tang-clothed man opposite snorted coldly, and the cheongsam woman beside him merely adjusted her shawl, completely indifferent to the kneeling child.

Behind them were several bodyguards and nannies protecting a young child, who seemed inexperienced with the world, but the look he gave little Nanyu was filled with undisguised malice.

They say the Nan Family treats the Young Master terribly; I thought it was just alarmist talk, but it turns out to be true.

The man in the charge jacket sneered, waved at his subordinate to holster his gun, then stepped forward with a dagger, grabbed the child's head, and forced him to lean back.

Although ten-year-old Nanyu was young, his delicate features were evident; the man clicked his tongue twice, 'How pitiful.'

"I told you, grabbing me is useless; if you want to threaten them, you might as well grab that one."

Nanyu lifted his chin and pointed to his biological younger brother, who was being guarded by the bodyguards.

"Damn bastard!"

The Nan Family Head shouted in anger, "You're not even fit to be mentioned alongside your brother!"

"Enough, I don't have time to watch you argue."

The man flicked his ear, the dagger sliding onto Nanyu's arm, 'Since you won't agree to my terms, I'll cut off one of his arms.'

"Hmph! Do as you please! Such a monster is certainly not a descendant of my Nan Family!"

Just then, two stone projectiles as swift as shadows flew out, knocking the dagger from the charge-jacket man's hand.

Everyone was stunned, watching as a strikingly handsome man stepped out from the bushes, his eyes sharp, bearing a wolf-like aura.

"Who are you!"

The Nan Family Head furrowed his brows tightly.

"A good Samaritan."

Jin Chen glanced at him briefly, his peach-blossom eyes slightly narrowed, 'Get out of the way.'

He walked straight to where Nanyu was kneeling, only to realize it wasn't a kneeling posture—his lower leg had collapsed in a horribly twisted position on the ground, as if broken.

His heart ached; he was about to reach out to embrace him when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the charge-jacket man preparing to fire his gun.

Full of rage finding an outlet, Jin Chen tilted his head, darted forward to snatch the man's gun, and without hesitation fired at the person who had just pressed the gun against Nanyu's head.

"Who exactly are you!"

The charge-jacket man felt some wariness, raising his hand to signal those behind him not to act rashly.

"Are you from the Nan Family?"

"How presumptuous of you, who are you scolding?"

Jin Chen was speechless; with one hand he lifted the frail child, his other hand still holding the gun as he backed away.

As he passed the shocked Nan Family members, he could no longer contain his anger and fired a shot at the Nan Family Head.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.
