Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 383 Overly Kind Heart?

Do you think I'm being a bit too kind?

As Yu Shijiu walked across the asphalt road that spanned two worlds, he bent down and patted the chubby head.

Fatty looked up at him in confusion.

"I just feel sorry for him."

Yu Shijiu's eyelids were drooping, so his expression was not visible.

"How pitiful! They can't even feed themselves and they still have to raise a child. Look at that child, so dark and thin, he's so ugly."

Fatty: "..."

It couldn't quite understand what Yu Shijiu was saying, so it rolled its eyes and gently licked the back of the other's hand.

"...let's go."

After complaining about how dark, thin, and ugly the child in the woman's arms was, Yu Shijiu glanced at the time and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Time's almost up!! Let's hurry back for dinner. Brother Chen should have finished cooking the fish soup by now, right?"

Fatty meowed, its green eyes sparkling like translucent green glass marbles in the sunlight, very beautiful.

"I need to eat more this time. I guess I'll be entering the game soon. I wonder if I'll be able to find a game instance with delicious food this time..."

The boy's babbling voice faded into the wind and gradually disappeared.

When Yu Shijiu arrived at the villa where An Jie and the others lived, he took out his key and was about to open the door when he heard footsteps behind him.

Yu Shijiu turned around and saw a face she hadn't seen in a long time.

It is pastoral rule.

Mu Gui's face was deathly pale, and his hands, hanging by his sides, were trembling, yet he still took a step up the steps.

"you--"

His response was the sound of Yu Shijiu quickly opening the door and Feifei running into the room and locking the door behind her.

Pastoral Rules: "..."

He stared in disbelief at the closed door in front of him, and subconsciously took another step forward.

But the pastoral customs ultimately remained unchanged.

After a long while, he stared blankly at the locked door in front of him, and then left.

Separated by a door, Yu Shijiu watched Mu Gui's dazed departure through the peephole, clicked his tongue, and quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

When footsteps came from the stairwell, An Jie was arranging for Xu Han to go to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. She chuckled when she heard the footsteps.

"Shi Jiu has arrived, no need to contact her anymore."

He Lingling lazily leaned back on the sofa, stretched, and then stood up and walked to the dining table.

"Shi Jiu, you've arrived just in time," He Lingling said with a smile as she passed by Yu Shi Jiu on the stairs.

"Brother Chen just said the fish soup would be ready soon and you arrived. Tell me, did you deliberately come at the last minute to avoid working?"

Yu Shijiu shook her head with a smile, "No, no, I would never do such a thing, Sister An."

He took a step forward and met Anjie's gaze as she pulled out a chair.

"I encountered the herdsman's rules when I opened the door."

Ange's smile froze. "Pastoral rules?"

Yu Shijiu nodded, "I don't know what he came for. He looked quite unpleasant, but he still wanted to talk to me when he saw me."

"You didn't talk to him, did you?"

Anjie walked quickly to Yu Shijiu's side, her eyes scanning him up and down. After noticing anything amiss, her tense nerves relaxed slightly.

“Don’t talk to him too much,” Ange said. “He’s getting close to the nun now, and the nun’s talent is always making some strange potions…who knows if she’ll use them on you.”

"Then it probably won't be used on me."

Yu Shijiu shrugged and said with a grin:

“I didn’t talk to him. I just took Fatty inside and locked the door. I guess he didn’t even realize what was happening.”

"well done."

Anjie smiled slightly. "Please sit down. Brother Chen will bring the fish soup over soon."

Yu Shijiu nodded and strode towards the dining table, brushing past He Lingling, who was still somewhat dazed and hadn't quite reacted yet.

He Lingling was somewhat confused. "Mu Gui, who is that?"

Anjie turned around and ruffled her hair. "You're not important, let's eat."

He Lingling raised her hand to smooth her messy hair, concealing her confusion as she went to eat.

The dishes on the table were as plentiful as ever, including chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. Under Chen Yi's superb culinary skills, they were even more delicious in color, aroma, and taste, making everyone's mouths water.

Yu Shijiu gave a routine of praise, then buried his head in his food as Xu Han handed him the bowl and chopsticks.

The same goes for Fatty.

In front of it was a plate of fish that Chen Yi had specially grilled for it, and it smelled delicious.

Feifei was very satisfied with her meal.

To be precise, everyone except Anjie, who was preoccupied, ate their lunch with gusto and were completely satisfied.

Finally, Xu Han was the first to put down his chopsticks, patted his stomach, and let out a satisfied burp.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm full. I'm going to lie down in my room to digest. You guys keep eating."

Without waiting for anyone else to react, he dashed back to his room.

Yu Shijiu was a little surprised, "Did he go back to his room to eat spicy snacks?"

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "No, Xiao Han has been acting strangely lately. She spends all her time alone in her room watching live streams, saying she wants to overcome her fear of ghosts."

"It's long overdue."

He Lingling picked up a rib, took a bite, and complained:

"His fear of ghosts is terrifying. It's manageable in regular game dungeons, but if he's still like this in guild ranking matches, tsk tsk tsk, the opposing guild could scare him to death by using ghosts."

"He Lingling!"

The door, which had just been closed, was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Han glared and roared:

"Don't think you can talk bad about me just because the door's closed! I've said I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore! I'm in the desensitization phase now! Just wait a few more hours! I won't be afraid of ghosts anymore!"

Yu Shijiu, oblivious to everything else, continued to eat.

Fatty glanced at Xu Han, whose face was red and neck thick, by the door, and licked the fish meat crumbs off its paws.

Anjie continued to ponder her thoughts, while Chen Yi, with a cheerful and benevolent expression, placed the last chicken leg into Yu Shijiu's bowl.

"Eat, eat more, you're so thin you're unrecognizable."

Yu Shijiu took a moment to look up and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"What are you thanking me for? Here, let Brother Chen get you another bowl of hot fish soup..."

As for He Lingling, she took a sip of soup and then shoveled some rice into her mouth. She lazily picked up her empty cup and raised it to Xu Han, who was peeking out from the doorway.

"Alright, alright, I believe you, Young Master Xu, are no longer afraid of ghosts! Come on, let's have a drink."

Xu Han looked at the empty cup and, feeling ashamed and indignant, slammed the door shut.

Bang.

The three people and the cat at the table shuddered simultaneously, but then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Only after he had filled his stomach more than halfway did Yu Shijiu wipe his mouth and ask Chen Yi next to him a question with some curiosity.

"Brother Chen."

Chen Yi was busy wiping Yu Shijiu's hands with tissues when he heard this and hummed in response.

"What do you mean by a female player with a newborn baby and few points calling some male players her guests?"
