Chapter 45

Teaming up with Mo Yi was out of the question, so in the end, he could only awkwardly return to the dorm.

Xi Yu quickly calmed his mood, sat back on the sofa calmly, and asked, “Xu Tu left?”

Luo Xi responded with a hum.

The room fell silent.

Experiencing emotional fluctuations for the first time, Xi Yu didn’t know how to deal with it, so he lowered his head and randomly flipped through the math book he had just thrown aside.

“Your own matters should be decided by you.” Luo Xi took the initiative to end the awkward situation.

He walked to the bed, pulled open the drawer of the small cabinet, and with a clatter dumped a pile of tokens onto the tea table: “I don’t really use these things, and I don’t need Yuntai Coins. If you think they’re useful, take them.”

Xi Yu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he frowned.

Luo Xi didn’t say anything else, just turned and flopped back onto the bed, putting on his headphones to signal he didn’t want to talk.

Of course, Xi Yu didn’t touch those things. He also understood that he hadn’t been decisive enough.

But then again, his condition truly wasn’t good — he’d been completely frozen for two years, only recently released a month ago. His physical strength was in urgent need of recovery, his mind was a mess, and his past was more mysterious than a suspense film...

What could he rely on to find a foothold in the tournament, and how much could he really help Luo Xi?

In any case, once worries take root, they’re hard to shake off.

Though their relationship had started heading in a subtle direction, Xi Yu’s training still proceeded as usual.

He could endure hardship, so he progressed faster than planned. Every time he went for a physical assessment, he had improved — a cause for celebration.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and the already tight schedule became even more urgent.

That weekend evening, Luo Xi finally couldn’t hold back and urged, “Today’s the deadline to sign up. After registering for the tournament, you’ll get some time to prepare. Otherwise, you should go stream. Don’t forget, you haven’t completed this month’s task yet.”

“Yes.” Xi Yu stood in the boxing ring and smiled. “Then let’s stop here for today. Thank you.”

Luo Xi leaned to the side and quietly drank water.

Xi Yu thought for a moment, then said, “We agreed before to spar again before the tournament.”

Hearing that, Luo Xi put down his bottle. “Alright.”

Xi Yu said seriously, “I just want to test my strength. I hope you give it your all.”

Lately, Luo Xi hadn’t been talking much. Hearing this request, he only gave a slight smile and raised an eyebrow, asking, “Can I know what your goal is in entering this tournament?”

Xi Yu thought of the few vague words he’d blurted out when he lost control before, and turned his head uncomfortably. “My goal... does it affect you?”Luo Xi: "No."

"Good." Xi Yu assumed an attacking stance. "Come on."

A person’s physique, appearance, potential health risks, and whether they have exceptional talent—all of these are determined by genetic inheritance.

At this point in time, with human biology developing at lightning speed, scientists can almost design every detail of an artificial human—combining beauty, strength, intelligence, and health into one. Even if natural humans evolved for another thousand years, they still wouldn’t reach this level of perfection.

Xi Yu was born for this very reason.

Although Luo Xi only arranged a limited number of combat training sessions, Xi Yu was like an eager sponge—never repeating mistakes, never showing negativity. As a result, his mental state and physical indicators changed drastically each day, showing the kind of transformation that made one think, "You really can't judge someone after only three days apart."

After narrowly dodging several of Xi Yu’s attacks, Luo Xi couldn’t help but step back and sigh, “I’m starting to suspect the company spent a lot more on you than they let on.”

Xi Yu was fully focused on the fight and completely ignored the small talk, launching another series of combo punches, finally landing a solid blow to Luo Xi’s abdomen.

Luo Xi reacted on instinct—while enduring the pain, he punched Xi Yu in the face!

The massive jolt made Xi Yu’s head buzz for a moment, but it only intensified his will to win.

He wiped his mouth and, without mercy, continued the brawl with even more ferocity than before.

The fight on the training platform was intense, and the spectators below watched with bated breath.

Xu Tu even forgot to bite into her big apple, eyes wide as she said, “...I totally don’t get boss’s way of flirting with guys.”

“Boss isn’t trying to get with him or anything. How could she even have that kind of thought right now?” Bai Qi said innocently, trying to calm her down. “I think you should stop stirring things up.”

Xu Tu scoffed, “What do you know? Ever since meeting Xi Yu, boss has been completely different. This is fate, this is a bond! If she really didn’t care, why hasn’t she signed up yet? Look at the time, only three hours left until the deadline!”

Bai Qi: “Maybe she just doesn’t want to compete.”

Xu Tu held her forehead: “Forget it, you’ll never understand.”

“I’m being serious. She’s doing great in the lab, and the new Director Lin has been really supportive. Maybe boss can find a way out without going all life-or-death like the rest of us.” Bai Qi whispered, “I admit Xi Yu’s appearance is extraordinary, but he’s only going to bring boss trouble.”

Xu Tu didn’t believe it at all: “The company doesn’t have the right to decide whether we stay or go. I believe that special prize slot was really hard to apply for from the artificial human department, and even Director Lin can’t do much more.”

Bai Qi: “Fine. But why are you so invested in their business?”

“Because boss has saved me more than once. And besides, who knows when we might get reset…” Xu Tu took a big bite of her apple and crunched loudly. “I just hope she gets to experience how nice it feels to like someone and be liked back. In this hellhole Yuntai, that might be the only thing worth smiling about.”

Bai Qi looked at her in surprise, ears suspiciously red. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “Anyway... I don’t think they have much chance of ending up together...”

They might not have much chance of being together, but they’d certainly already ended up fighting.

After several rounds of intense attack and defense, both Luo Xi and Xi Yu were bruised, and their expressions had turned serious and tense.

Xi Yu tried to shift his attention away from the pain and once again charged at Luo Xi.

Though Luo Xi took another punch, he seized the chance to grip Xi Yu’s waist and slammed him hard to the ground, then pressed a knee on him and said, “You’re too skinny, and you lack experience—you won’t win!”

Xi Yu’s features twisted slightly in pain, but he didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Luo Xi’s wrist and kicked him away with a raised leg, then pounced and grabbed his throat. “Is that so? Looks to me like you can’t fight anymore either!”

Luo Xi panted heavily, struggled for a moment, then spread his limbs out in defeat: “Fine, I lost.”The two stared at each other in silence.

The light in Xi Yu’s eyes gradually faded, and he instantly let go, saying, “You don’t need to go easy on me.”

“I wasn’t going easy on you,” Luo Xi explained briefly, frowned as he watched Xi Yu get up and walk away, then looked wearily at the ceiling and sighed. “Hey…”

Seeing Xi Yu about to jump off the platform and leave, Xu Tu quickly shoved her apple into Bai Qi’s hands and sneakily followed after him.

Actually, Xi Yu was in a bad mood mainly because he was dissatisfied with his own abilities, so after striding out of the training room, he gradually calmed down.

Thinking about how the deadline was just around the corner, if he didn’t sign up now, he’d really be too late.

He found a restroom and washed the sweat off his face. Just as he was about to head to the Safety Division to pick up the registration form, Xu Tu, who had followed him, stopped him. He couldn’t help but give a faint smile. “What is it?”

Xu Tu followed Xi Yu. “Of course it’s about teaming up. Are you really not teaming up with Boss?”

Xi Yu replied, “I’m not who I used to be. It’s meaningless.”

“It is meaningless—if it weren’t for you, I feel like Luo Xi would just go alone,” Xu Tu said seriously, for once. “But he hasn’t done anything yet, isn’t that because he’s waiting for you to decide?”

Xi Yu sighed helplessly. “But I can’t be of much help.”

Xu Tu finally understood what was bothering Xi Yu and folded her arms. “That’s what this is about? Sure, if you were the Xi Yu from two years ago—so powerful you’d crush anything in your way and could even command all the other streamers like pawns—then yeah, you’d be someone worth clinging to.”

Xi Yu already had doubts about his identity, and the more she talked, the more it felt like she was describing someone else entirely.

“I haven’t been a streamer for long,” Xu Tu continued, “but I got lucky—I started out with Ah Qi and Boss, and that’s probably why I’m still alive. But there’s something I understand better than you: that all-powerful Xi Yu doesn’t exist anymore, and the company hasn’t created another streamer like that since. What does that tell you? That anyone too prominent ends up badly.”

She lowered her voice and added firmly, “The company won’t allow that to happen again. Your previous reset? Probably brought on by yourself.”

Xi Yu fell into a confused silence.

“Anyway, I’m rambling,” Xu Tu said. “The point is, you feel weak and defeated—but I don’t think so. You think Boss is some kind of unbeatable genius? Probably just looks that way because you’ve got a crush. Honestly, we’re all about the same.”

Xi Yu still said nothing.

Xu Tu crossed her arms. “A teammate is someone you can trust, someone you’d turn your back to without worry. It’s not about how useful they are. We’re not even that close, but if you really think you’re not good enough to be Luo Xi’s teammate, then what more is there to say?”

With that, she turned and said casually, “I’m off.”

Xu Tu’s nonchalance was like a cool breeze. Xi Yu stood there for a long time before finally showing a faint smile.

As the deadline approached, the artificial human streamers finally couldn’t hold back and began signing up.

By the time Xi Yu finally got through the line and received the registration form, it was already completely dark outside.

He rushed back to the dorm. After swiping his card to enter, he was greeted by emptiness.

Xi Yu called out, “Luo Xi?”

No response.

Xi Yu slowly walked to the table and silently picked up a fountain pen to fill in his ID number.The 777th artificial human streamer registered by the Cyber Company—truly a “long-time employee.”

That eerily familiar number made Xi Yu recall the man in his dream calling him “Little Seven.”

So what exactly is going on…

It was all a tangled mystery, completely unfathomable.

Just as Xi Yu was lost in thought, the dorm door quietly opened again.

Xi Yu saw Luo Xi’s tall figure appear at the door and immediately stood up. “You’re back?”

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows, hands behind his back. “Since when are you this polite?”

Xi Yu picked up the registration form from the table. “Well…”

Unexpectedly, Luo Xi spoke first: “Let’s team up after all—unless you’ve already chosen someone else.”

Xi Yu was stunned.

Luo Xi spoke in a deep voice, “I was planning to go alone. But like you, I’ve started to remember some things. I also have a past I want to understand, and people I want to protect.”

Those words took Xi Yu by surprise. He immediately asked, “You remembered… what?”

Luo Xi glanced warningly in the direction of the surveillance camera.

Xi Yu immediately fell silent.

“You get to mope around like Lin Daiyu, but I can’t have any secrets?” Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. “Just say yes or no—I hate indecision.”

Xi Yu lowered his head and picked up the two sheets of paper. “I already got our registration forms.”

Luo Xi paused briefly, then smiled.

Xi Yu said seriously, “I won’t let you down—and I won’t let myself down.”

Being treated seriously by someone who’s usually calm and indifferent was actually a pretty thrilling thing.

The corners of Luo Xi’s lips curved more noticeably, but before he could speak, a soft little sound echoed in the room.

Xi Yu looked in surprise at the arm Luo Xi had kept behind his back. “That’s…”

Luo Xi smirked and extended his hand—nestled in his palm was a palm-sized little plush kitten.

The kitten was clearly still nursing—dazed and wobbly, it stared at Xi Yu with big clear eyes and let out a tiny, weak, “meow…”

A smile visibly bloomed on Xi Yu’s face, like a flower quietly blossoming.

He smiled often—out of politeness, distance, or even mockery…

But this smile held none of that. It was simply pure, heartfelt joy.

Luo Xi said, “Didn’t I say before—if you beat me, I’d give you a good gift? Today, I didn’t let you win. I really was tired and, for a moment, just wanted to give up.”Xi Yu finally came back to his senses and scolded slightly, “How could you just casually buy an animal? We're here… alive today, but maybe tomorrow… We can’t possibly be responsible for it.”

“Anyway, it’s yours now.” Luo Xi shoved the cat into his hands. “If you're afraid it’ll be all alone, then be a little selfish and do your best not to lose.”

Xi Yu wanted to keep criticizing, but the moment he touched this little furry life, he couldn’t bear to let go. He carefully held it and said, “Then what does it eat, what does it drink? I don’t know how to raise a cat at all.”

“The internal store will send over cat supplies. I don’t know how to raise one either. Good luck.” Luo Xi immediately wiped his hands with a disinfectant wipe. “I’m absolutely not helping to take care of it.”

Xi Yu didn’t reply. He sat back on the sofa holding the ragdoll kitten, placed it gently on a blanket, and watched it tenderly. He even extended a finger for the hungry little cat to bite randomly, ignoring everything else.

Luo Xi leaned quietly against the desk and observed, “You two actually look a bit alike.”

Xi Yu asked, “What should its name be?”

Luo Xi replied, “Think of it yourself. Nothing to do with me.”

Xi Yu really did stroke his chin and think for a moment. Then he spoke softly to the kitten, “How about we call you Little Seven? Little Seven?”

The ragdoll kitten cluelessly licked its lips.

Xi Yu touched the kitten’s head with his index finger, feeling its warmth and the unique force of life. His emotions were overwhelming.

Little Seven...

Luo Xi frowned slightly, feeling like he’d heard those two words somewhere before.

Perhaps outside in the world, the first streamer tournament had already been heavily publicized.

But to the streamers inside Yuntai, it was still something shrouded in fog—unclear if it was even real.

It wasn’t until the evening before the preliminaries that the registered streamers received a short notice on their wristbands: “All streamers, please gather in the garden two hours from now. Preliminary selection matters and precautions will be announced. Please maintain current order. Anyone who disobeys will be immediately disqualified from the preliminaries.”

Everyone eating in the dining hall was slightly surprised.

Xu Tu snorted, “What does ‘preliminary selection’ even mean?”

Bai Qi answered seriously, “It’s said over two thousand streamers signed up, even at the risk of being reset. But the company still needs to filter capabilities somewhat. After all, they have to focus the promotional budget on worthwhile candidates. So they need to cut down the participants drastically through a specific competition.”

Luo Xi sneered, “I asked Sister Zhang from the lab—she’s got relatives in the publicity department.”

Xu Tu immediately perked up, “What what? Insider info?”

Luo Xi replied generously and honestly, “Although the rule-setting team didn’t reveal anything, their publicity slots are only 192.”

Bai Qi clicked his tongue, “Two thousand down to two hundred, this preliminary round is bound to have problems…”

Xu Tu asked doubtfully, “What problems? You think we won’t make it into the top two hundred? Don’t joke.”

“Think about it. Say it's one out of ten per match, and a hundred matches happen at the same time. Then how are the streamers even distributed?” Bai Qi took off his glasses and rubbed his brow. “For example, if you end up in the same group as Mu Yuan and the others, wouldn’t that be a straight up…”

Bai Qi made a throat-slitting gesture.

Only then did Xu Tu start to worry.Xi Yu had been busy feeding the kitten the whole time and didn’t join the conversation.

Xu Tu grabbed the kitten. “Stop playing. What do you think?”

Xi Yu immediately took Little Seven back into his arms, then said, “No idea. Doesn’t matter. If the soldiers come, we’ll block them.”

Luo Xi put down his utensils. “I can more or less guess.”

Xu Tu blinked. “?”

“The company’s servers have always used the small-room model—each room has a dozen or so streamers, and the server processes their brain data in real time.” Luo Xi leaned back in his chair. “All they need to do is change the structure and create one big room for two thousand people. The problem would be easily solved. Cyber definitely has the tech. Cyber started off making large-scale online games.”

Bai Qi choked. “Let two thousand people play battle royale together?”

Xu Tu patted her chest. “Weak little scholar, it’s not too late to beg me for protection.”

Bai Qi didn’t respond. He ate silently and started thinking.

At that moment, a shadow suddenly loomed over their table—it was Mu Yuan bringing over a few men and women, aggressively surrounding them.

Xi Yu had clashed with him last time and wasn’t afraid this time either. He asked directly, “What do you want?”

Mu Yuan still had that arrogant look and pointed at Xi Yu. “Perfect timing that you all signed up. Just wait and see.”

“If I were you, I’d watch my mouth. Get hurt now, and you won’t be able to compete.” Luo Xi grabbed his finger and almost bent it backwards.

Mu Yuan quickly pulled back, glaring as he clenched his fist.

“Take advantage of this competition to sober up too. See just how inflated your ranking really is.” Luo Xi sneered and raised an eyebrow. “Nice job on the face surgery, but don’t forget it can still hurt.”

While they talked, Xu Tu and Bai Qi had already stood up and moved closer to Mu Yuan.

The tense standoff between the two groups inevitably triggered the already-nervous security team preparing for the competition.

The security guards patrolling around the cafeteria immediately pointed laser pens at them. “What are you doing! If you’re full, get in line at the garden early! If you’re not competing, go get locked up instead!”

Luo Xi ignored Mu Yuan and said quietly, “Let’s go.”

Xi Yu held the cat. “You promised to leave Little Seven in the lab for fostering.”

“Yeah. We’ll head downstairs while we’re at it.” Luo Xi replied.

As Mu Yuan watched them walk off, completely ignoring him, the sinister look in his eyes grew colder. He said softly, “Arrogance comes at a price. During the preliminaries, just find a way to get them out.”

Only spending a few days with a cute little pet and then having to part—it really was a painful thing.

Xi Yu carried the cat carrier to the lab door and said softly with reluctance, “Little Seven, drink your milk well. I’ll definitely come back for you. I promise.”

The kitten softly replied, “Meow…”

“Alright, never noticed how girly you are.” Luo Xi couldn’t help urging, “Give it to me. The lab has access control. You can’t get in.”

Xi Yu: “……”

Xu Tu and Bai Qi, waiting nearby: “…………”Luo Xi grabbed the cage and strode out of the laboratory doorway.

Bai Qi whispered, “The boss really has some issues with emotional intelligence.”

Xu Tu murmured, “I suspect he’s jealous of the cat.”

Xi Yu, with excellent hearing, smiled faintly to himself but understood the meaning behind Luo Xi’s gift—he just wanted to give him something to hold onto and keep going.

Yet the warmth behind this motive left Xi Yu somewhat puzzled.

Lost in thought, the automatic door gently opened again, and Lin Yuze and Director Lin appeared, accompanied by several men in black suits.

Xi Yu and the others quickly stepped aside.

Lin Yuze unexpectedly approached Xi Yu and spoke gently, “We meet again. I heard you were injured before. I had planned to arrange for Yun Shen to meet you tonight.”

Xi Yu politely replied, “Last time I caused trouble, I must thank Director Lin for your understanding.”

“You’ve always been a very special streamer. For this competition, I sincerely hope you achieve your wishes.” Lin Yuze extended his hand.

Xi Yu was a bit surprised, shook his hand for a moment, then gave him an unexpected look.

Lin Yuze nodded satisfactorily. “The pre-competition briefing will start soon. See you then.”

Xu Tu carefully waited until Lin Yuze disappeared, sighing, “Our new boss is quite approachable.”

“He’s just a businessman. Don’t be fooled by humans,” Bai Qi said disdainfully.

Xi Yu’s eyes flickered but he didn’t discuss more with them. Instead, he clenched the thing Lin Yuze had quietly slipped him earlier.

It seemed to be a capsule...

Such a suspicious handover—what exactly was this thing for?

And why would Lin Yuze, someone so high up, bother to pull this kind of trick with him?

Xi Yu was full of surprise and doubt.

As the sun set, spotlights lit up one after another. Over two thousand streamers standing in the huge garden were all exposed around the temporary stage.

Their varied expressions made the atmosphere at the gathering feel a bit eerie.

Of course, natural humans were not unguarded—real armed bodyguards surrounded them heavily, all watchful.

Only Lin Yuze, surrounded in the protective core, was like a warm spring breeze, his delicate smiling face projected on the big screen as he greeted warmly, “Streamers, since I took office, I haven’t had a chance to meet you all, so I’m taking this opportunity during the competition to get to know each other.”

The streamers, all waiting for news, naturally didn’t respond to his pleasantries—not even a single applause.

But Lin Yuze was calm and unhurried, holding the wireless microphone as he continued, “At eight tomorrow morning, the much-anticipated competition will begin. Perhaps you don’t know yet, but the media and partners broadcasting this competition number over a thousand—this is truly a global entertainment event. The lucky person who wins the championship will become a superstar known by all! I look forward to your brilliant performances. Just thinking about this person being born among you makes me feel very proud and honored.”

Xu Tu muttered quietly, looking down, “Are natural humans always this long-winded...”

Lin Yuze smiled faintly. “Regarding the preliminaries and competition rules, I believe you’re all eager to know. But before that, I must ask: among the 2,234 streamers here, is there anyone regretting and wanting to quit? Don’t worry, until I announce the rules, quitting will carry no punishment.”This statement finally sparked some whispered conversations.

But all of them were the only brave ones among Yuntai androids. Having already overcome countless difficulties to sign up, how could they suddenly give up?

As expected, no one responded.

Lin Yuze nodded with satisfaction: “Since that’s the case, I’ll be straightforward. Starting tomorrow, the preliminaries will be unprecedented, lasting fifteen days, spanning three game worlds, with an elimination rate of over ninety percent! Anyone who dies midway or whose physical strength fails will be immediately eliminated with no chance to return to the competition! Only the 192 best from the preliminaries will officially enter the formal matches to compete in rounds!”

Xu Tu looked at Bai Qi in surprise: “Fifteen days? They want us to soak in that nutrient solution and endure for half a month?!”

Bai Qi frowned: “I’m afraid many won’t be able to hold on just to this challenge alone.”

Lin Yuze chuckled lightly: “Also, these three worlds have no dungeons, meaning all participants can interact with each other. I hope to see your competition in the game, and more importantly, your unity!”

At that moment, a female streamer in the front row raised her hand and loudly asked, “Director Lin! Will all the ninety percent eliminated be reset?”

The garden instantly fell into an awkward silence.

Lin Yuze paused briefly, then calmly replied, “I don’t know.”

The buzzing of discussion started again.

“The reason I say I don’t know is because this decision lies in the hands of the audience,” Lin Yuze raised his voice. “The reset penalty is the cruelest yet most attractive mechanism in the game, and opinions have always been divided! Since I took office, I’ve heard support and opposition alike, so I thought—why not let the ones who care about you most, the audience, decide? Until the preliminaries end, each audience member can cast a precious vote, and whether to stop or not will depend entirely on the voting results!”

………

……

Honestly, this news was the real shock of the evening.

Luo Xi and Xi Yu exchanged a glance, their expressions complicated.

Lin Yuze lowered his eyes and softly asked, “You all hate the company for being inhumane to you, but this time, do you dare to trust human nature?”

“Right in the heart. This Director Lin, I kinda respect him.”

That night, Luo Xi lay in bed feeling this way.

Leaning against the sofa, Xi Yu put down Xiao Qi’s cat toy and silently pulled out the thing Lin Yuze had slipped him from his pocket.

It was indeed a capsule, half black and half white, with the letters “cr-87” written on it.

What exactly was it for?

Should I tell Luo Xi?

Xi Yu glanced at his teammates playing Tetris and immediately made up his mind. He got up and went to the bathroom, then called out, “Why is this faucet broken?”

He remembered the security department saying the company wouldn’t film or livestream the private moments of streamers, so this was the safest place he could think of.

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow, came over, closed the door, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xi Yu looked around.

Luo Xi understood, turned on the faucet, letting water flow loudly, and gave a knowing look while saying, “Isn’t it working fine?”Xi Yu understood there was recording equipment and silently confessed, "Director Lin gave it."

Luo Xi picked up the capsule and looked at it carefully, then whispered into his ear, "The CR series are genetic drugs. The specific effects are unpredictable; they might change your constitution or alter your mind."

Xi Yu knew nothing about Lin Yuze, so naturally had no idea about the boss’s intentions.

Luo Xi quietly explained, "He used to be a senior executive at headquarters. Because his record is clean, he got the chance to move to Haishi Entertainment’s golden nest. I don’t know the details, so I can’t help you judge."

Xi Yu became even more conflicted about whether to take it or not.

Luo Xi quietly watched him, naturally respecting his own choice.

Xi Yu recalled his brief meetings with Lin Yuze, who helped him twice to get out of danger. If there was ill intent, Lin could have easily taken advantage. So, he finally mustered the courage and put the capsule into his mouth.

After all, as the head of Haishi Entertainment, Lin Yuze must know many secrets. He wouldn’t poison a streamer without reason. There was probably some other purpose.

Luo Xi carefully observed Xi Yu’s reaction. Seeing no discomfort, she slightly relaxed and pulled him out of the bathroom: "Go to bed early, the competition starts tomorrow."

Xi Yu sank into the soft sofa: "Everything happened more calmly than I imagined."

“That’s natural. The ones who need entertainment are the audience outside. We’re just performers who must follow orders.” Luo Xi turned off the light, rarely showing positive energy: "Be careful with everything. Protecting yourself is most important."

Xi Yu quietly responded.

Luo Xi added, "We can count as a small team, right?"

Xi Yu: "Of course."

Luo Xi: "Then why not pick a captain? Team members need to obey the captain at crucial moments."

… It’s just the two of us. What kind of captain is that?

Xi Yu blinked helplessly.

Luo Xi then said, "I vote for myself."

Xi Yu finally smiled lightly: "Okay, but what counts as a crucial moment has to be decided by me."
