Which Night Are You Talking About?

Xia Yu left the Black Room. As he headed out, he could hear Qi Ning, who had just been revived, throwing a massive fit from afar.

"I'll kill you pack-loving bastards!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

"Fuck! You know how to hide, huh? You'd better pray I don't find you. If I find one, I'll gun down one!"

"I'm fucking furious! Ahhh!!!"

The moment he was revived, he sprinted from the Black Room back to No. 1 Base, only to find it completely deserted.

The moment Xia Wanqing and the other two heard the announcement that he had been revived, they knew he would return for revenge and evacuated the base. Out of guilt, they left him high-quality weapons, enough water, and food.

That only made Qi Ning even angrier. He sprayed bullets all around him, and the entire deserted island echoed with his curses.

[Hahaha! Who else is having the time of their life watching this privileged brat rage helplessly? Me, that's who!]

[If you can't handle the game, go home and drink milk. Don't think everyone is scared of your family background and has to coddle you.]

[AC's pack-loving fans, get out of our livestream! Go watch your masters. I'm in a bad mood, so don't start whining about fandom bullying when you can't win an argument!]

[Next comes Qi Ning's hunting hour. Go, baby! They teamed up to eliminate Cousin too. One against eight—don't let a single one of them go!]

[Don't be mad, baby. Find a Revival Card first and revive Cousin. Otherwise, if those pack-loving bastards kill you, there really won't be anyone left to revive you. They definitely won't revive Cousin either.]

[Ahhh! I hate those pack-loving bastards so much! My husband hasn't had a single shot since he entered the Black Room! If they keep pretending they can't find a Revival Card, does that mean my husband will never get out?! I'll kill you all!]

For a time, the internet split into two camps. One was led by AC Boy Group fans, waving the banner of unity, cheering for their idols, shipping the romance between Chu Lan and Xia Wanqing and the friendship between Chen Hongyi and Xia Wanqing, while also taking jabs at Qi Ning and Xia Yu. The other was led by the Seven Fairies. Seeing Qi Ning being bullied drove them mad, and they once again went one against five. They did not care whether people were named directly or not—they tore into anyone they caught.

This time, a sizable number of Xia Yu's newly acquired wife fans joined them as well, shouting that the murder of their husband was an irreconcilable blood feud. Their fighting power was terrifying.

Amid this main battlefield, Liu Yue's fans and Xueli's fans were also brawling, sending Live Until the End's popularity through the roof again and again.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xia Yu boarded the yacht. After Black Snake and White Wolf successfully delivered him there, they quietly withdrew.

"Young Master." Chi Yi bowed respectfully. "Would you like to take a shower and change clothes first?"

"Mm."

He was still wearing the combat uniform specially made by the Production Team. After running around the mountains all day, he was covered in mud and weeds, looking utterly filthy.

"Everything has been prepared. Please follow me."

Chi Yi led him to a luxurious bedroom. "The hot water is ready, and your clothes have been prepared as well. Call for me if you need anything."

Xia Yu walked into the bathroom without a word.

Half an hour later, he emerged from the shower wearing only a bathrobe, water still dripping from his hair.

"You're done?" Chi Yan had appeared in the room at some point. Seeing Xia Yu's damp hair, he frowned. "Dry your hair with a towel."

Xia Yu lowered his head and stood there without moving.

Tsk... Chi Yan entered the bathroom with a dark expression. When he came back out, he had an extra dry towel in his hand. Without another word, he draped it over the despondent youth's head and roughly rubbed his hair dry. It looked crude, but he had actually eased his strength.

Once it was mostly dry, Chi Yan removed the towel, smoothed Xia Yu's messy hair, and softened his tone. "Are you still angry with me?"

Xia Yu turned his head slightly and muttered, "No."

"That's good."

"..."

Chi Yan touched his face, then quickly pulled his hand back. "Are you hungry? Let's eat first."

From yesterday until now, Chi Yan had not seen him eat a proper meal even through the livestream. He had only been drinking bottled water and eating bread and rations. His face had lost all its fullness.

Xia Yu walked out of the room expressionlessly, gritting his teeth as he asked inwardly, "How many points are still missing?"

"Still sixty-five thousand..." 001 was utterly speechless about the Chi surname. He did not even know how to comfort someone. Just wait for the host to turn the tables on you!

Xia Yu was extremely displeased. The points had not increased at all.

At the dining table, the two sat across from each other and ate in silence. Not a single word was exchanged until the meal was over.

Xia Yu practically slammed his chopsticks down. "I'm full. Enjoy."

Radiating coldness, he left the dining room and returned to his room, lying on the bed with a gloomy expression. Fuck!

Not long afterward, Chi Yan came in, sat by the bed, and nudged his arm. "Don't lie down right after eating."

Xia Yu abruptly rolled over, grabbed a pillow, and hurled it at him. "Chi Yan, I hate you!"

Chi Yan dodged sideways. "Didn't you say you weren't angry?"

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

"Don't get worked up. Let's talk."

"There's nothing for us to talk about!" He got out of bed, preparing to leave.

"Xia Yu..." Chi Yan grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

Caught off guard, Xia Yu fell back onto the bed, and his eyes instantly reddened.

Chi Yan's heart clenched. He leaned over and pulled him into his arms, apologizing softly, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been harsh with you."

"..."

Holding him in his arms, Chi Yan felt as though his heart had been filled to the brim. It was a completely different feeling from their previous hugs, and his voice became even gentler. "That night at the hotel, I didn't mean to hurt you either."

Xia Yu leaned against his shoulder, his gaze calm as still water, but his voice was low and dejected, seeming to carry a trace of tears. "Which night are you talking about?"

Chi Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice turned slightly hoarse. "I'm sorry. I lied. On your birthday, I hadn't completely lost my mind because of the drugs..."

Xia Yu curled deeper into his embrace. "Y-you clearly said you'd been drugged..."

"I was wrong." He apologized remorsefully. "I shouldn't have said those hurtful things to you."

"Sniff..."

The tears falling onto his shoulder seeped through his shirt, making his heart soften and tingle all over again. "I was wrong. During the past few days in the United States, you were all I could think about."

"Ahhh!" 001 transformed into a screaming chicken. "H-host, host, host! Hurry up and cut off contact with Tongtong! This isn't something I should be hearing!"

"..." 105 went limp from its excitement.

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and cut off the connection. This idiotic system.

Seeing that he did not react, Chi Yan began to feel uneasy. "Xiaxia?"

Xia Yu sniffed and asked in a muffled voice, "Do you like me?"
