Chapter 75 – Three People Make a Tiger 11
Xu RenDong didn’t sleep for long when he was once again woken up from a dream. Someone else from the film club actually died again but this time it was a particularly tragic death. That sissy Member B was like a burnt gingerbread man. He was stuck behind the kitchen door and couldn’t even be pulled off.
Rock Monk expressed his intention to read a scripture. Accompanied by the crying of the president and the coldly glamorous Member C, Rock Monk began to perform the rites for the gingerbread man. The kitchen instantly turned into a mourning hall and everyone silently retreated.
Everyone gathered around the table and looked at the time. It was five in the morning. Too many things had happened that night and everyone looked haggard, as if they had aged ten years overnight.
A girl was combing her hair silently and, after a while, a large mass of hair loss appeared in the palm of her hand. It was dark, messy and looked weird. She threw her hair into the trash can and said angrily: “Damn, I’m going to go bald! Why is this instance so difficult! Does it still want people to live?”
Xu RenDong was awakened several times and his mood was very bad. He glanced into the kitchen and said coldly: “The instance is not difficult, the main problem is that there are too many pig teammates.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. This four-member film club has occupied all the death spots so far and all the deaths are caused by themselves. They are simply a suicide squad. The key point being that if you want to commit suicide, just commit suicde. Don’t forcibly increase the difficulty for the entire team! Right now, not only could the toilet not be used, but even the microwave oven was useless. Although that ghost was afraid of chocolate, there was simply not enough chocolate. If you let it drag on then don’t talk about ghosts, the daily physiological needs alone can suffocate everyone to death.
Xu RenDong folded his arms around his chest, his face solemn: “Let’s talk about the elevator and the button. Does anyone have any ideas?”
He also felt that this instance was not smooth. There’s already been eleven chapters {T/N: Yes author actually wrote this!} and there was still no clue about either the elevator or the button, which is really frustrating.
The nameless passersbys all looked at each other very hard and finally shook their heads.
Xu RenDong looked at Lian Qiao: “How about you?”
Lian Qiao stared at the hair-loss girl thoughtfully. Xu RenDong shouted again: “Lian Qiao?”
Lian Qiao came back to his senses: “…I have an idea but it’s a little risky.”
Xu RenDong thought in his heart: Have you ever had an idea that wasn’t dangerous?
He was used to Lian Qiao’s routine but the others didn’t care much about it. The hair loss girl grabbed a handful of her hair irritably: “Tell us first so we can decide!”
Lian Qiao shook his head: “I can’t say it, it will make it more difficult. You just need to cooperate with me.”
Someone questioned: “You haven’t even said the plan so how can we cooperate with you? Why do you want us to risk our lives?”
Xu RenDong was annoyed by him and sneered: “So you don’t want to listen to him, right? Do you have any other plans? Otherwise, should we all just sit here and wait to die?”
The man pointed to the kitchen and said unconvinced, “How do I know if he is a pig teammate? In case he is like the others in the kitchen and has brain problems, what should I do? Don’t forget, if the difficulty of the instance increases, not only will we suffer but we can also die too!”
Xu RenDong was too lazy to pay attention to him and was about to ask Lian Qiao how they wanted them to cooperate, when Zhong Xiu suddenly replied softly: “Then just die ah.”
There was no anger, sarcasm or other emotions on her face. She even seemed sincere, as if she really felt that if she died then she’s dead, what’s the big deal? Was this something worth fighting about?
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Zhong Xiu, a soft-spoken woman, to say such a thing.
Only Lian Qiao, looking at her, gradually revealed a subtle emotion in his eyes.
So similar.
When she said those words, her demeanor and tone were exactly the same as those of Xu RenDong in the beginning. That kind of world-weariness, that kind of indifference, that kind of not taking one’s own life seriously, that kind of peace of mind as if everything in the world was no longer worth nostalgic so that ‘Even if I die now…’
He had heard that when two people have been together for a long time, they will become more and more like one another.
Of course, today’s Xu RenDong is no longer like that. He was like a priest who stepped down from the altar, put down the Bible and took off his ascetic robe. He was stained with the colors of the world and there was a gentle smile in his eyebrows and eyes.
Since they had gotten to know each other, his whole person has become more alive. Become more like a “person”.
This is what Lian Qiao is most proud of. But at this moment, he actually saw the former Xu RenDong in Zhong Xiu.
What does this mean?
That means it’s time to be jealous.
Suddenly, the kitchen door opened. Rock Monk came out and saw the complicated expressions on everyone’s faces. He couldn’t help but be surprised: “What are you talking about, so serious?”
Zhong Xiu said, “We’re talking about what to do next.”
Rock Monk pulled out the chair to the table. While sitting down, he rubbed his forehead a little tiredly but he still asked, “What have you discussed?”
Everyone looked at Lian Qiao in unison. This time, the person who had questioned before actually no longer objected but just waited quietly for Lian Qiao to speak.
Lian Qiao glanced at Xu RenDong and Xu RenDong nodded to him.
Lian Qiao took a deep breath and became serious: “I’ll tell the story tonight. Everyone, have a good rest during the day and keep your spirits up. At night we will have a big battle.”
According to Lian Qiao’s instructions, everyone went back to their rooms and continued going to bed. RenDong’s group of three returned to their room. Zhong Xiu said that she wanted to take a shower so she went to the bathroom.
Xu RenDong leaned on the head of the bed, sorting out his thoughts. Lian Qiao pricked up his ears and, when there was the sound of water in the bathroom, he rushed to the bed like a large dog, resting his head on Xu RenDong’s shoulder, and his warm breath breathed on his face.
“RenDong, RenDong,  are you curious about what story I’m going to tell tonight?”
Lian Qiao’s chin was a little sharp, causing Xu RenDong’s shoulders to hurt. He shook Lian Qiao’s head, adjusted it into a comfortable position, and rubbed Lian Qiao’s hair: “Why don’t you call me ‘Brother’?”
“Because the three words together don’t go well together {Brother RenDong} and it’s not intimate!” Lian Qiao pouted. “That’s not the point! Quickly ask me: What good idea did you come up with?”
Xu RenDong couldn’t help laughing: “Didn’t you say that giving spoilers will increase the difficulty?”
“That’s in the case of ‘Three People Make a Tiger’ and the boss will be summoned ahead of time. But now…” He glanced at the bathroom and laughed, “Now we are a two person world!”
Lian Qiao’s hair was so fluffy that it tickled Xu RenDong’s cheeks. He rubbed Lian Qiao’s hair and his mood softened again: “Then tell me, what good ideas have you come up with?”
Lian Qiao smiled slyly: “Hey, let me give you a hint first so you can guess!”
Xu RenDong said: “Okay.”
Lian Qiao turned off the light and told Xu RenDong to get into the quilt to hide and act like he was very timid. Xu RenDong did so. The bed was dark, hot and stuffy. But how to pretend to be afraid?
Xu RenDong thought for a while and said seriously: “Yingyingying, I’m so scared.”
A chuckle came from the end of the bed. Soon, Lian Qiao covered his mouth and muffled his laugh. Xu RenDong guessed he was up to some trick when he suddenly felt cold under his feet and the quilt was lifted by a corner.
…  What was that for?
Just when he thought Lian Qiao was going to get in, something cool touched his ankle. Xu RenDong kicked out subconsciously and actually kicked in the air. Xu RenDong was stunned for a moment, only to feel the cold air running down his ankle, into his pants, along his calf, over his knee, and gradually up…
A strange feeling built up that he had never experienced before. Xu RenDong couldn’t help thinking about a lot of things and his face was quietly hot. He knew that Lian Qiao was deliberately doing something bad so he couldn’t help being a little annoyed and called out softly, “Lian Qiao.”
This low voice stopped him.
When Xu RenDong didn’t want to do something, Lian Qiao would definitely stop at the end and would not force it on him – except for the time when his emotions were out of control of course.
The coolness really didn’t climb up further but the gap in the corners got bigger and bigger. The wind blew in from his feet.
Xu RenDong felt Lian Qiao’s approach, like a big cat pounced on its prey. This kind of imagination made him a little nervous and feel a little anticipation. He felt that he shouldn’t think so much but he couldn’t control it. Annoyed, he gritted his teeth, raised his hand and turned on the light. The lights came on and a furry head emerged from the bed.
Xu RenDong looked at Lian Qiao who was lying on top of him speechlessly: “Are you making a ghost movie or a porn movie?”
Lian Qiao said solemnly: “This is a scene from a classic horror movie, haven’t you seen it?”
Xu RenDong Said: “I haven’t seen it.”
Lian Qiao poked the tip of his nose and said with a smile: “Oh so you haven’t watched horror movies but you’ve seen a lot of X-rated movies, is that it?”
Xu RenDong: “…” Knowing that Lian Qiao was deliberately teasing him, Xu RenDong still blushed. He turned his face awkwardly, exposing the roots of his red ears in front of Lian Qiao.
The petite, bright red earlobes were like a tempting crime. Lian Qiao’s eyes darkened, he pressed his body down and said with a low smile, “Brother RenDong, I don’t watch porn. Is this how the seduction scene goes in all your adult films?”
Xu RenDong was annoyed and panted slightly. He pushed him: “Go down! Go to sleep!”
“I won’t.” Lian Qiao wrapped his arms around him like an octopus, buried his head in his neck and sniffed the smell of his body like a coquettish big cat.
“I like the smell of your shower gel.” Lian Qiao said softly, “What I like more is that we have the same smell. It makes me feel that I am very close to you, it makes me feel that I belong to you and you belong to me.”
Xu RenDong’s heart softened again.
Lian Qiao lightly rubbed his earlobe with his lips and whispered in his ear, “RenDong, I want to kiss you.”
How could the sensitive part of the earlobe stand up to this provocation? Xu RenDong was disturbed by his rubbing. In a trance, he only felt that his whole body was hot. His body was so soft that he couldn’t exert his strength and he couldn’t even push him away.
Xu RenDong recalled the dizzy feeling when he was kissed by Lian Qiao, unable to resist and could only let him do anything he wanted.
But it’s not a bad feeling.
The air was permeated with sweetness. Xu RenDong lowered his eyes, turned his head slightly and said “En”.
After receiving the agreement, Lian Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and leaned over gently. The hot breath brushed against the skin, making the faces of both people itchy, and the cusps of their hearts were also hot and itchy, extremely restless.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Zhong Xiu walked out while wiping her hair: “I’ve washed, do you want to…”
“Bang!”
With a loud noise, Lian Qiao rolled to the ground!
Zhong Xiu: “???”
Xu RenDong lifted the quilt and got out of bed neatly. As soon as his feet landed, he suddenly felt something strange somewhere on his body and his expression changed immediately. He picked up the quilt from the bed and wrapped it around him. His whole person was wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis and he walked by Zhong Xiu with a blank expression.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
Zhong Xiu: “???” You wrap up like this to take a shower? Are you cold or hot?
Lian Qiao was kicked to the ground. He was still unhappy at first but when he saw Xu RenDong wrapping himself up like this, he instantly understood. He just sat on the ground and laughed.
Zhong Xiu looked at Lian Qiao in astonishment and then looked at the bathroom where the sound of water could be heard. She had a confused expression on her face.
What had happened during her absence?
