Chapter 74 - The Murder Game

Yuzu
The exhausted Xiao Chen was lying on top of Yu Mo. His hair was a mess, and the sweat stains on his body were sticky. He was too tired to open his eyes.
The man covered the quilt on Xiao Chens body. His gray eyes were staring at the others sleeping face, and his fingers were constantly stroking the Xiao Chens hair on both sides. It was as if looking at a great treasure that was fragile and needed to be cared for and collected.
Xiao Chen was still half awake. Probably because of his clean nature, he subconsciously pushed a mans chest while softly muttering, I want to take a bath.
The man did not speak. Instead, he smiled and kissed Xiao Chens right little earlobe.
The others expression slightly stifled, and the hand placed on the mans chest paused. He opened his eyes in confusion and said, I heard your heartbeat.
Wasnt the mans heart ripped out?
Xiao Chens confused half-open eyes saw the mans mouth moved. However, it may be because he was too sleepy that he did not hear it clearly. He rubbed against the mans chest, and before he could get a specific answer, he fell asleep completely.
Yu Mo looked at this dazed face. The corners of his mouth hooked up as he lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on the young mans forehead.
Sleep, my little rose.
Xiao Chens hand is still placed on the location of the mans heart. The mans heart is thumping, and his chest is slowly rising and falling along with it.
The man gently picked him up, intending to carry him to the bathroom.
In an instant, all the lights in the entire room lit up, and the yellow halo-colored light shone on the young boy.
While the color of the tattoo on his back seemed to have been cleaned, the original dark color became enchanting and vivid, especially the color of the rose petals that became redder than before.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen did not hear any of those words.
And that statement was:
My heart has always been hidden in you, and as soon as you came back, it returned to me.
In this world, there is just one him, and he has always been one of a kind.
Havent you thought that between us, besides the death of one side and the other alive, there can still be other options.
What choice?
Let us be one person.
Xiao Chen, wake up. Why are you sleeping in the library? The boy held his glasses with one hand and pushed Xiao Chen, who was lying on the table, with the other hand. Out of kindness, he woke up Xiao Chen, who had fallen asleep for some unknown reason.
Xiao Chen snapped his eyes open and looked up at the boy with glasses who called him. His mouth was open but didnt make a sound as he sat up with a startled face. He looked around a few times, and his eyes were filled with confusion and doubts.
You Xiao Chen swallowed and stood up to say something, but the book at the table in front of him fell on the floor with a PONG sound because of his sudden movements. The loud sound startled Xiao Chen and managed to make the surrounding students, who were concentrating on their studies, look towards the source of the sound.
The boy wearing glasses saw this and nodded towards Xiao Chen with an apologetic face. Then, he fled the scene quickly, leaving a dumbfounded Xiao Chen, who continued to be confused about the situation.
Xiao Chen sat back in his original position, picked up the book at his feet, and put it on the table. The surrounding eyes also retracted one after another.
Was everything he experienced a dream?
Xiao Chen was in a bit of a trance, and his mind was still a bit muddled.
No! There is no way!
Xiao Chens eyes instantly become firm, and a stream of light flashed in his eyes.
How could it be that he was dreaming!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen seemed to have suddenly remembered something and looked down at his neck with wide eyes.
The scythe-shaped pendant was still hanging intact on his neck as if it has always been worn and never taken off.
When Xiao Chen saw the necklace, his heart calmed down. He clutched the necklace tightly and held it in the palm of his hand, feeling an indescribable heartache. He even wanted to cry a bit as tears once again swirled in his eyes.
It is uncertain how long it took for Xiao Chen, who sat silently in place for some time, to be shaken up. His aggrieved face unfolded, and the tears that were in his eyes flowed down.
What are you crying for? Well, be good and wait for me to come to you, my little rose.
A voice appeared out of nowhere in Xiao Chens ears. This magnetic and somewhat hoarse voice sounded like it was close to his ears. He could even hear the mans breathing, and the exhaled breath blew into his ears, making his ears tickle a little.
There is no mistaking it. It is Yu Mos voice.
Xiao Chens face turned slightly red, and he sniffed. While no one around saw him crying, he hurriedly wiped his face and said in a small voice, Then you have to be quick oh, or I wont wait for you, hmph.
The last word, hmph, did not sound like a threat but instead like he was pouting.
Just like a little kitten with a big temper, scratching the shovel officer with its claws as a threat to get their attention. As soon as the shovel officer comes up to kiss and hug, they immediately shrink meekly in the arms of the shovel officer.
Xiao Chen did not hear the mans reply but only heard the man laugh lightly. His laughter was with a hint of helplessness and indulgence.
After a long time, the man said, Then during this time, you must take good care of yourself. The man paused and then said with a flirting tone, Otherwise, I will punish you well by then.
Xiao Chen subconsciously shivered when he heard the word punishment. His face immediately flushed red like he had a fever, and some unholy images flashed through his mind.
He wanted to scream out loud, but he could only hold it in. Eventually, he had to lie on the table and grit his teeth.
Ah ah ah ah, how can you say such excessive words.
Shameless, f*cking shameless.
Xiao Chen sat at the back of the classroom by the window, and he placed his bag on the table.
He gently took all the desserts out of the bag and stuffed them inside the table, filling almost a drawer full of them.
The class will start later, but he hasnt eaten breakfast yet.
Xiao Chen put his books on the table and stuffed one hand inside the table, secretly taking out a cupcake and stuffing it into his mouth in one big bite. Before he could chew twice, he heard the door of the classroom pushed open suddenly, followed by a sound of footsteps.
The teacher is here.
Xiao Chen immediately lowered his head and chewed frantically for fear of being seen by the teacher. Perhaps he ate too fast, but the food actually got stuck in his throat, making him cough loudly.
Holding it in made his face even redder.
A pair of long legs stood directly in front of him, putting down a bottle of water on his desk and then walking back to the lecture table.
Xiao Chens chewing mouth instantly stopped. Lifting his head, he stared blankly at the mans series of actions, and his eyes nearly spelled confusion in capital letters.
The man looked at him with a smile on his face from the podium. Xiao Chens cheeks were bulging like a small hamster that had stolen food.
Xiao Chen looked at this all-too-familiar face and had not yet recovered. But then, it might be because it was uncomfortable to have food stuffed in his mouth that he finally returned to his senses. He picked up the mineral water on the table and quietly opened it. He poured water into his mouth before finally feeling a little better.
Xiao Chen lowered his head as his face was still red and tried hard to reduce his presence.
He looked at the books on the table and then at the man on the podium, followed by a glance around the classroom, where many girls put their heads close together and whispered about something with a blossoming face.
Xiao Chen had the illusion that he was dreaming.
Wait, wasnt the teacher of this class a bald Mediterranean?
Xiao Chen poked the boy sitting in front of him and put his head closer to the boys side, Where is the previous teacher for this class?
The boy turned around with a strange look on his face and asked in return, What last teacher? Hasnt it always been Mr. Yu?
Xiao Chen was even more stunned when he heard that.
The man who has been paying attention to Xiao Chens every move saw two heads that were only a few centimeters apart and narrowed his eyes a little dangerously.
Heh.
The second from the last one in this row stand up and answer this question, The man uttered with a stern look on his face.
The boy sitting in front of Xiao Chen was startled, opened his mouth wide, and stood up with a dumbfounded face.
Xiao Chen was instantly silenced when he saw this and sat motionless in his position with an honest face.
The aroma from the dessert inside the table was too fragrant. Not even halfway through the class, Xiao Chens sinful little hand reached into the drawer again and quietly took out the cupcake. He continued to stuff it into his mouth, eating one bite at a time with great satisfaction.
The mans expressionless face on the podium nearly broke because of the childs small expression of stealing food.
So the lesson passed pleasantly with the man lecturing seriously and Xiao Chen eating cupcakes.
Finally, the class ended. The man hinted with his eyes at Xiao Chen, who had been staring at himself with bright eyes. Then, he walked out of the classroom, and Xiao Chen immediately trailed after him.
The man cornered Xiao Chen on the stairway. He looked at the others pouty lips and narrowed his eyes, Youre disobedient again. You didnt even listen in my class.
Xiao Chen thought he was talking about his eating in class. He lowered his head and defended in a small voice, I only ate four cupcakes, not too much.
The man was amused by his little expression but still looked at Xiao Chen with a serious face, making Xiao Chen, who originally had many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask him, instantly shut up.
The mans head moved up to Xiao Chens ear with an ascetic expression, Baby, youre really misbehaving.
Xiao Chen sniffed and lowered his head somewhat sheepishly, not daring to make a sound.
The mans lips pressed against Xiao Chens neck.
Xiao Chen jolted and subconsciously dodged.
The man stretched out his tongue and rubbed his teeth on Xiao Chens neck again.
The man looked like he had thought of something funny and curled his lips, So, Im going to punish you.
Xiao Chen was stunned.
Immediately afterward, he heard the man give a flirtatious laugh and continued, What do you think about a teacher and student play, hmm, student Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chens eyes widened, and before he could resist, the mans mouth sealed his lips.
As for what unholy things will happen tonight, it can only depend on Xiao Chens fate.
The author has something to say:
Im afraid some little friends can not understand the setting of this world, so I will explain ha, please pay attention.
Xu Caitong is a sanctioner because he himself is a murderer. He killed the last sanctioner and lived to be the last one, so naturally, he became the new sanctioner.
The game is called One Life to Live.
You can understand it this way. Because Yu Mo is really idle, he made such a game of watching others bleed, watching the evil people in this world torment each other.
When one round of the game is over, a new round will soon be ushered in. Su Jingxia will keep going through this game over and over again until one day he is killed, and a new sanctioner takes over.
It is then an infinite cycle.
The man who is one with Yu Mo is his heart, causing him to become two people.
This story ends here, looking forward to the new world, mwa!!!
