The Honest Office Worker Tricked Online (10)

Things have gotten complicated.

Xue Ci glanced at the computer. From his perspective, the screen was filled with "Crow," so he could clearly see Xue Ci's unpleasant expression.

To take 11's words as an example, he's currently in a flirtatious relationship with the conman, and this unexpected turn of events will undoubtedly impact the plot.

Seeing "Crow's " increasingly grim expression, Xue Ci felt the need to explain immediately. He pursed his lips in distress, his tone a little urgent, and said to Chu Juesheng, "I have something to do right now, I'll talk to you later."

Chu Juesheng's face froze when he saw that Xue Ci was trying to send him away. He was about to say something when he heard Xue Ci urging him to hurry up.

so.

They did not deny what happened last night, nor did they explain the red marks on their neck and the swelling on their lips.

He guessed correctly.

The boy's expression visibly darkened, his eyes drooped, but he didn't dare say anything more, returning to his room with a sullen face.

Xue Ci locked the door, immediately sat down at the table, and returned to the game.

"Crow's" face was even more somber than before.

Xue Ci nervously licked her lips, not yet having prepared her words, when the other person suddenly asked, "Is he your neighbor?"

Xue Ci: "Hmm..."

Crow: "He listens to you very well."

What?

Xue Ci was stunned; her train of thought was completely interrupted.

After regaining my composure, I explained to the other person that last night was indeed a company team-building event, and that what they said might be due to an alcohol allergy.

The conman could easily change his target. Xue Ci was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she held his hand and said she could take off her wizard robes for him to check.

Bai Wu's breath hitched, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He gently pressed down on Xue Ci's hand, which was pulling at his robe.

Her fingertips caressed her smooth, delicate wrist.

"No need, I trust you."

Xue Ci "Oh," and added, "I'm not the kind of person who does these things with just anyone, and besides, our company's team building activities are all for men."

For some reason, after he finished speaking, Bai Wu's expression did not improve; instead, it became even more serious.

Bai Wu truly believed that Xue Ci was a pure and handsome young man. He guessed that apart from the time he licked and ate those things, he had never even tried kissing him.

But he didn't trust Xue Ci's colleagues, and he didn't trust that neighbor either.

The neighbor's voice was low and sounded very young.

Bai Wu instantly felt a sense of crisis. He grabbed Xue Ci's hand and teleported back to the hidden room.

Before Xue Ci could even stand up straight, she felt warm fingers supporting her cheek.

Bai Wu leaned down and met his gaze.

The man's gaze was very serious as he observed Xue Ci's face closely, lingering on her lips for a few seconds before finally settling on her slender and delicate neck.

Xue Ci is very beautiful, and she can easily arouse the dirtiest desires in a man's heart.

The hot breath hit her skin, quickly giving it a peachy pink hue, sparking endless fantasies.

Bai Wu ground his back teeth hard, the restless thirst surging from the depths of his heart. He had no other way to quench his thirst except to lick and bite Xue Ci.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He suppressed his restless urge to speak, his voice low and hoarse like sand being polished. "Please don't let anyone else see this, okay?"

Xue Ci for a few seconds, then nodded obediently.

Bai Wu finally stopped bringing up the topic.

The two returned to the map of the Fluffy Roaming. Bai Wu, being of a higher level, naturally knew the tricks to clearing the level, but Xue Ci felt that would be pointless and planned to slowly trigger NPCs and complete quests on her own.

Bai Wu stood to one side, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding players as if issuing a warning.

They encountered many furry beastmen along the way, Xue Ci would excitedly approach and strike up a conversation with almost every species she met.

Bai Wu glanced at the time and reminded the other person to eat.

Xue Ci subconsciously trailed off, "I don't want to eat..."

He was reminded by "Crow" several times before he reluctantly went to eat.

"I'll log off now."

Bai Wu clearly hadn't had enough time with him yet. "Don't take off your glasses."

Xue Ci was eager to make more progress with "Crow," so she tried to probe with the sweet words she had learned. "I don't want to log off either. I wish I could stay with you every day."

Bai Wu paused, a surge of heat rising beneath his calm expression.

The sound of the heart pounding against the chest was exceptionally clear.

Hearing the progress bar rise, Xue Ci was very satisfied. He opened the food delivery app and exclaimed in surprise, "You ordered this restaurant too?" It was the same one Chu Juesheng last time.

No. 7 Apartments is located in the suburbs of Fog City, with only fast food and cheap snacks nearby. This restaurant is in the city center, and you need to pay an extra delivery fee to buy from it.

Bai Wu: "The photo you took for me last time looks like it was from this restaurant. But you ate there with your neighbor, right?"

11:[.]

That familiar jealousy... Is the liar also one of the Fragment?

Xue Ci was busy putting various food packages onto the table, unable to do two things at once, so she naturally didn't hear what he was saying, let alone the implied meaning.

He just gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Bai Wu paused for two seconds, then asked, "Are you very familiar with your neighbor?"

"We've known each other for about a month now," Xue Ci, his voice muffled, his cheeks puffed out like a little hamster. He quickly realized something, "But I've only eaten with him a few times, we're not that close. Aside from work, I'm mostly with you."

In just a few words, Bai Wu's lips curled into a smile.

The two of them spent the entire weekend playing games. The WeChat group was quiet, with no one in the group saying they had to work overtime. Apart from Cheng Yuqing sending him WeChat every few hours to share some game strategy websites and corny joke videos, no one contacted him.

Xue Ci focused on playing the game, replying to Cheng Yuqing once and then not looking at her phone again.

He really liked the new map and didn't want "Crow" to guide him, so he went around triggering NPCs and finding storylines on his own.

Bai Wu stood to the side, occasionally lending a hand when fighting the boss, but mostly keeping an eye on Xue Ci.

Even a straight man wouldn't get tired of watching it.

"I leveled up again!" Xue Ci was very satisfied, with a hint of pride in her tone, as if she were showing off to "Crow." "Maybe I'll be able to lead you in a team someday."

Bai Wu liked his happy expression and quickly smiled, "Want to join our guild?"

Although the forum posts have been deleted, many people still know about Xue Ci. In the past two days, he has heard that people from other guilds have been inviting Xue Ci to join their guilds.

Xue Ci busy grinding monsters and didn't have time to check the invitation in her private messages.

Xue Ci a newcomer, and her level was far below the membership requirements, so it was obvious what those people were thinking.

There are many single men in the various guilds, Xue Ci felt like she had entered a den of wolves when she went in.

Bai Wu's brows furrowed more and more as he thought about it.

"I think I'm not going," Xue Ci replied softly.

"Wu City" is the number one guild in the game. It has few members, but everyone in it is a top player. Even if he joined, he wouldn't be able to make any significant contributions.

Bai Wu assumed he was shy. "Don't worry, everyone inside is someone I know, and they're all good people."

"I know they're all fine." Xue Ci thought for a moment, "Let me practice some more and level up before going in."

Bai Wu then understood Xue Ci's considerations. Although he was disappointed, he did not interfere with her decision.

If too many people were trying to pick him up, he thought that perhaps getting married directly would be a good option.

*

The weekend passed quickly, Xue Ci had to go to work the next day, so she didn't dare stay up late and prepared to log off around 9 pm.

These past two days, he and "Crow" have been practically inseparable in the game, and the progress bar has been rising rapidly. Xue Ci was worried that he wouldn't have time to play games on weekdays, and the scammer wouldn't bother to contact him, so she leaned over and whispered, "Remember to message me often, or I'll miss you terribly."

The way he took small, slow breaths almost lured Bai Wu away.

In the following workdays, Xue Ci was assigned to a new project, and she was even scheduled to go on a business trip with President Gu next week.

Xue Ci was very uneasy and grabbed her assistant's arm. "Aren't you coming with me?"

Special Assistant: "I'm being sent abroad on a business trip for a month starting tomorrow."

Xue Ci pursed her lips, her eyelashes drooping.

The assistant couldn't bear to see his pitiful appearance; which employee in the company wasn't afraid of President Gu?

Xue Ci looks like she's about to burst into tears; she doesn't even need to be scolded by President Gu. Just a glance from her would make her eyes well up with tears.

Poor thing.

The assistant comforted him, "However, President Gu seems to have a good impression of you. He used to fire assistants in less than a day, but you're the Yiyi who's stayed this long, which means President Gu appreciates you."

Of course, he was more inclined to believe the company rumors— that Cheng Yuqing liked Xue Ci, which was why President Gu transferred her in.

So far, not only have I never said a harsh word to them, but I also frequently add bonuses to the executives' office.

He himself benefited from it.

The special assistant believes that being sent abroad for a month was not a coincidence.

As for the reason... he dared not speculate.

"Don't worry, it's just a short meeting. You just need to take notes."

Xue Ci had attended meetings before, but had never done one himself. So he asked his assistant for some meeting minutes, organized the parts he needed to do, and then knocked on President Gu's door to report on the plane tickets and hotel he had just booked.

He thought the other person would be very busy, but the man deliberately stopped what he was doing to listen to his report.

Staring at her with those sharp, narrow eyes, Xue Ci felt her face flush and forced herself to finish her work.

You could tell she was trying hard to stay calm, but her voice was still trembling a little.

Gu Yan chuckled silently and asked a few questions casually. To his surprise, Xue Ci answered them very well.

"Good."

The man spoke in a deep voice, his tone sounding more cheerful than usual.

Xue Ci was taken aback.

Was he just praised by President Gu?

Isn't it said that President Gu has never praised anyone?

Suddenly, 11's voice rang out: [Of course, it's because you did a great job, host!]

Just like when she received praise in school, Xue Ci smiled slightly, but she didn't dare to get carried away and quickly regained her composure.

He thought he could leave after reporting his work, but unexpectedly, President Gu talked to him about something else. "Where's the necklace around your neck?"

Xue Ci was taken aback. "You..."

"Did you return Cheng Yuqing?"

Xue Ci tensed up instantly. Although the other person was not very old, he was still Cheng Yuqing's elder. Since he knew that Cheng Yuqing had given him such an expensive gift, he must think that he wanted to marry into a wealthy family.

Xue Ci had a feeling that she was about to be handed a check by a rich person, so she cautiously stood still and hummed in agreement, nervously waiting for what would happen next.

His soft palms were damp with fine sweat, and his whole body exuded a fragrant aroma from the heat.

A faint pink tinge appeared uneasy at the corners of her eyes; her eyelids were so thin that they seemed to leave a mark with the slightest touch.

Despite the sweltering heat, Xue Ci always meticulously buttoned her white shirt to the very top, concealing her slender neck with its delicate veins beneath her clothes. Little did she know that this only fueled a man's desire to explore her.

Gu Yan wondered how much the traces left last time had faded, but with a lowered gaze, he asked, "Why did you return them?"

Xue Ci: "Too expensive."

He firmly stated that he had no intention of currying favor with Cheng Yuqing, Gu Yan finally stopped asking questions. Before leaving, he even asked Gu Yan to take the cake off the table.

Xue Ci followed Gu Yan's gaze and looked at the upper left corner of the table.

There was a pink packaging box on it.

Xue Ci had learned from his assistant that President Gu never ate sweets; it was probably a gift from a client. He didn't say anything more, reached for the cake box, and closed the door before leaving.

Xue Ci rarely goes online on weekdays, and "Crow" almost always tries to chat with him on WeChat.

This week, "Crow" was noticeably more proactive, sending him messages whenever she had free time, and the two chatted from the moment they woke up until they went to sleep.

The progress bar has reached 60%.

The system also issued a task: ["The Crow's" initiative has created a dependency in you; having been socially inactive for a long time, you easily fall in love with him.]

[Although you're still too shy to confess your feelings, you've already decided to pursue them.]

[Your approach to pursuing someone is very ordinary. You lack sweet talk and romance; all you do is buy them snacks and clothes, and give them all the money you earn. That's what you consider pursuing someone.]

[The other person was initially just playing with your feelings, but seeing how easily you were fooled, they started tricking you into buying them expensive gifts and then mocking you in front of their friends.]

[Your task is to buy a dress for the other person, with a two-hour time limit.]

When the task was posted, "Crow" was still messaging him, discussing his upcoming business trip next week.

Xue Ci: [Could you give me your address?]

Xue Ci: [Kitten peeking out. jpg.]

The Crow didn't answer immediately, "[What's wrong?]"

It seems the scammers are quite vigilant.

Xue Ci: [I want to buy you something.]

Xue Ci: [You've been buying me a lot of food lately, I want to buy you some too.]

Xue Ci: [How about I buy you a dress? Don't all girls like pretty dresses?]

There was a long silence on the other end before a simple "Mm" replied.

According to the character settings in this world, Xue Ci, being a love-obsessed person, would definitely choose expensive items when buying things for her partner.

He scrolled through the shopping app, picked out two Xiao Bai, and sent them to her: [Do you like them? What size do you wear?]

Crow: [L.]

The answer was unexpected.

The scammer probably didn't know anything about women's clothing and just gave a random size.

Xue Ci didn't ask any more questions and placed the order directly.

These two dresses cost him almost half a month's salary.

Xue Ci checked her bank account balance and sighed softly, "I could still buy him four dresses."

11: [Waaah, don't worry, host, after you get scammed, 11 will use her own points to support you!]

Xue Ci patted 11's fluffy head.

The next day, he received more than ten packages.

"Crow" bought them all: pajamas, shirts, bedding sets, bath towels... a wide variety, some of which looked very expensive.

Xue Ci surprised.

Why would a scammer spend so much money on him? The food I ordered earlier was just to lure him in, but now that he's hooked, why would I buy him all this?

11 Conspiracy Theory: [He must have some ulterior motive!]

Xue Ci: "..."

Xue Ci couldn't guess; perhaps the other person wanted to make sure they were being tricked into dating him. He thanked Crow on WeChat and asked if the other person had received the clothes.

Crow: [Received it, it's perfect for people with fair skin and a slim waist.]

Xue Ci he was bragging and chimed in, "[If you like it, that's good!]"

For the next few days, Xue Ci received a constant stream of packages.

He replaced his old shirts with expensive, well-tailored, and high-quality brand shirts, and his rough bed sheets with silk ones. He also replaced all his toiletries and personal care products.

"Crow" even called for a smart cleaning service to give his house a thorough cleaning.

If he's not a scammer, "Crow" is indeed a very suitable candidate.

Xue Ci thought for a moment and sent a message to the other person: [You're so good to me, is there anything I can do for you?]

Crow: [You don't need to buy me anything.]

Crow: [We don't need anything for now.]

Just as Xue Ci was about to reply, another message popped up in the chat box.

Could you send me a photo?

Xue Ci in confusion: [A selfie?]

Crow: [I also bought you an outfit, it should be here soon, can you wear it for the photoshoot?]

Xue Ci found it strange. But since he had brought it up himself, he had no choice but to agree.

After waiting for ten minutes, the deliveryman brought the package to her door. Xue Ci opened it and found a sailor uniform inside.

A navy blue shirt with a large collar paired with shorts.

The clothes weren't particularly strange, and Xue Ci could accept them.

He quickly changed, grabbed his phone, and without bothering to choose an angle, casually snapped a picture and sent it over.

Bai Wu stared at the photo, stunned for a moment.

Xue Ci's face in the game was already very beautiful, and he thought it was due to character customization, but it turned out that the data had been adjusted downwards.

Xue Ci herself looks... I can't find the Bai Wu words to describe it.

His heart was pounding, and he no longer cared about being straight. Breathing heavily, he saved the photo and, with trembling fingers, messaged the other person. "[Could you send me another full-body picture?]"

Xue Ci: [But I don't have a full-length mirror here.]

Bai Wu: [Just sit on the bed and hold your phone up to take a picture.]

Bai Wu: [Is it okay?]

This was the first time "Crow" had used a phrase like "okay?" to ask for help, so Xue Ci couldn't refuse and sat on the bed to send a picture as requested.

That angle is arguably the perfect boyfriend's perspective.

Her eyes were round, with the corners upturned as she looked up at you, her expression innocent yet slightly dazed. The loose collar of her sailor uniform revealed the beautiful lines of her neck.

Only a small part of the legs was captured in the photo, but you could just see the edge of the soft flesh that had piled up on the thighs because they were being held up by the shorts.

Her thighs were smooth and full, with skin that was fair and pinkish.

It seems that pressing it will cause you to sink deeper.

Bai Wu's eyelids twitched wildly.

Blood rushed to my brain.

He adjusted his breathing and pressed his lips tightly together.

I really want to bite it.

Whether it's delicate earlobes, a rosy chest, or soft, supple thighs.

They could easily bring out his oral fixation.

*

If the chats a few days ago could be considered proper probing, then ever since Xue Ci posted the photos, the atmosphere has become ambiguous.

Bai Wu would proactively steer the conversation towards relationships, asking Xue Ci if she had ever been pursued before, what type of person she liked, and then telling her about her blank romantic history and her clean body.

She also said she was curious about what kissing felt like, and whether it would be comfortable.

They even started calling her "baby."

Xue Ci didn't like this title; it seemed many men liked to call him that.

But I don't know how to remind them.

In the end, they had no choice but to let the other person shout like that.

[Baby.]

[Can I take a picture? Anything is fine.]

Xue Ci readily took a picture and sent it over.

The boy in the photo wasn't wearing glasses, looked very young, and was wearing pink pajamas. The room was too cold, and the hood of the pajamas was pulled up over his head.

Her lips were red and swollen from drinking milk tea.

The Crow seemed very pleased with the photos he took and wanted to buy him more clothes.

Xue Ci looked at the overflowing wardrobe: [The wardrobe is about to fill up; there's no more room.]

Crow: [Where are the old clothes?]

Xue Ci: [I put it in a bag, but I feel it's a waste to throw it away.]

Crow: [I also need to donate some things to an orphanage soon. You can send them to me, and I'll donate them together.]

Upon hearing that it was for charity, Xue Ci didn't suspect anything. She called a courier to deliver all her old clothes to Crow.

*

After the assistant left, Xue Ci had to communicate with President Gu face-to-face for many of her tasks, and she was on edge for several days in a row.

Friday has finally arrived.

After Xue Ci finished washing up at home, she turned on her computer and went online.

"Crow" sent a message in advance saying that there was still some work to be done, and it would be finished around nine o'clock.

Xue Ci glanced at the time: 8:05.

Fluffy Roaming are celebrating Halloween.

The pumpkin lanterns on the street lit up, and all sorts of Western-style monsters appeared on the street.

The eerie atmosphere made Xue Ci hesitant to move around, and coupled with feeling unwell, he huddled in a corner of a bench.

His black wizard robes completely concealed him, as if he were trying to blend into the night.

However, its subtle fragrance should not be overlooked.

Players with orc skins have a keen sense of smell and quickly located Xue Ci's position.

"Look, what a delicious little sweetheart!"

"The baby seems to be lost."

I don't know why, but the NPC keeps saying these kinds of things.

Xue Ci pretended not to hear and sat in the chair waiting for them to pass by, but someone suddenly rushed in front of him.

Xue Ci was so frightened that she hid behind her.

The person on the other end immediately said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm a player, I'm from the ' Midnight ' guild, are you the ' Little Snowman '?"

Xue Ci was surprised; he had hidden his game ID, yet someone still recognized him.

"Our guild leader even sent you a handwritten invitation, hoping you'd join our guild," the boy said excitedly, "But you haven't replied yet."

Xue Ci said apologetically, "I haven't been checking my private messages lately."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just saying." The boy didn't leave immediately, but boldly stole a glance at Xue Ci 'Xue Ci face, only to find that her cheeks were very red. "Are you feeling a little unwell? Otherwise, I—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was coldly glanced at by the tall werewolf who walked over from the side.

Soon, the tall werewolf whispered to the young wizard.

I can't hear what they're talking about, but they definitely know each other.

The boy, realizing he'd made a fool of himself, left sheepishly.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Cheng Yuqing reached out to touch Xue Ci's face.

The body temperature is higher than usual.

The game does not display your physical condition. In a game, only your health bar will decrease; it will not affect your physical health.

Cheng Yuqing didn't know what was wrong with Xue Ci for a moment, so he took out the best medicine from his toolbox and gave it to him.

Xue Ci, saying, "I'm just a little hot, but I'm not feeling too uncomfortable."

He looked up, saw Cheng Yuqing's attire, and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you a puppy today?"

"..."

It's a werewolf.

He specifically chose it.

However, whatever Xue Ci says goes.

Cheng Yuqing didn't deny it. "We'll be seeing a rare big boss tonight, want to go camp it?"

Xue Ci nodded, her eyes fixed on Cheng Yuqing.

Unable to bear his gaze any longer, Cheng Yuqing asked stiffly, "... W-what's wrong?"

"May I touch your puppy's ears?"

Xue Ci's eyes sparkled, possessing an irresistible charm.

The towering werewolf, a head taller than the young wizard, obediently bowed his head before the other.

Xue Ci carefully touched it with her hand.

The dog's fur is a bit stiff, grayish-black, and doesn't feel smooth to the touch.

It has a very peculiar feel.

Xue Ci gently stroked his hair again.

Cheng Yuqing froze completely.

After a moment, his breathing became heavy as he stared intently at Xue Ci's face.

His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

"You can't touch it anymore."

Xue Ci clearly hadn't had enough of touching him, and looked at him with an expression that suggested he was being stingy.

Cheng Yuqing pulled him over and leaned closer. "He's already up."

Wh-what?

Xue Ci stared at his erect dog ears. "You mean ears?"

Cheng Yuqing's apple bobbed.

Two seconds of silence.

"No."

It's the bigger one on the bottom.

Xue Ci, and when she came to her senses, hot breath rushed to her face.

Her already flushed face now looked like it had just turned red.

Before he could say anything, he felt his ear, hidden inside his hat, being touched.

With a jolt, Xue Ci felt a strange sensation, his waist went weak, and he immediately pulled his ears back, stepped back, and then straightened his hat.

Cheng Yuqing hard. "Are you... a lop-eared rabbit?"

Xue Ci's voice was muffled and damp. "Mmm."

"I understand now," Cheng Yuqing said slowly. "You're probably in heat."

Xue Ci in surprise, "You mean the rabbit's mating season?"

"Um."

Xue Ci could feel her face getting hotter and hotter, and her limbs began to twitch.

He stood there somewhat bewildered.

My eyes also misted over.

Cheng Yuqing swallowed hard. "I didn't mean to bully you."

Wh-what?

The next second, Xue Ci heard the man continue, "I can lick it for you."

Author's Note:

Straight men are so straight they're beyond straight.

They also need to emphasize how big they are.
