[Xiao Fei: Brother Ye, if you see it, if you have any questions, don’t worry, just come to me. I stay up late and will be online waiting for you all this time @Ye Jiu] [Wenwen: [Eye Roll].jpg] [Wenwen: Who can’t say sweet words? If you really care about him, don’t cue him about work in the middle of the night, alright?] [Xiao Fei: Who said I want to talk about work? Brother Ye, in life, or in other aspects, if you have any issues, you can also find me anytime @Ye Jiu] [Wenwen: Tsk! Little stirrer, you went through all this trouble just to say this, right? No wonder you’re messaging so late at night, is it to offer your bed?] [Xiao Fei: What offer? Don’t make it sound so bad!] [Wenwen: What’s wrong, dare to do it but not admit it?] [Ru Huan: If you really need help with life issues, you can also find me anytime @Ye Jiu] [Wenwen: Ah! Why are you all doing this!] [Wenwen: I can also offer [Pretty Legs].jpg @Ye Jiu] After skimming through the chat logs, Wen Nan appeared just in time— [Ye Jiu: Sorry, sorry, just saw the messages] [Ye Jiu: There was a little accident at my place just now, an unexpected explosion, so I haven’t had a chance to check the messages] [Ru Huan: An accident? Explosion? Is it serious? Are you okay?] [Xiao Fei: Is your home still livable?] [Ye Jiu: I’m fine, evacuated in time, but the house probably isn’t livable anymore, might need to find another place to stay] [Ye Jiu: I just moved nearby, not familiar with the area yet, wondering if you ladies have any temporary accommodation recommendations] The message barely sent, instantly, three system notifications popped up— 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "control-freak young stepmother" key item, exploration degree increased to 92%.] 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "unreachable eerie landlord" key item, exploration degree increased to 93%.] 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "loving yet psychopathic sister" key item, exploration degree increased to 98%.] Reading these notifications, a satisfied, subtle curve appeared at the corner of Wen Nan’s lips. Soon after, three people sent private messages to Wen Nan in succession— [Xiao Fei: Brother Ye, come stay at my place? I’ve been living alone since my brother left, the house is quite empty, there are two rooms, I’ll leave the big master bedroom for you, okay?] [Xiao Fei: Oh, by the way, Brother Ye, I left you a small gift, slipped it into your coat pocket before you off work without you noticing, there’s the password to my home’s lock on it, did you see it?] [Xiao Fei: I’ve been waiting at home for you, you can come find me anytime] [Xiao Fei: [Love You].jpg] His clothes were just taken off, still in Yu Shujun’s bathroom, didn’t notice if there was anything extra when he took them off. Thinking of this, Wen Nan looked up, glanced at the thick smoke on the top floor, then at Yu Shujun beside him, "Xiao Jun, I need to go back to your place for a bit, to get something." Yu Shujun didn’t ask what he needed, instead directly raised his hand, palm holding a small silver metallic stick, and offered it in front of Wen Nan, "This?" Wen Nan picked up the small item, finding it was a portable mini-whistle, the bottom engraved with small letters: [w.w.a.g.g]. This should be the password to Wenwen’s house. As he was thinking, the system notification sounded— 9527: [Congratulations, contestant! Successfully found the "loving yet psychopathic sister" key item—Whistle to Halt!] 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "loving yet psychopathic sister" key item, exploration degree increased to 100%.] 9527: [Congratulations, contestant! Successfully completed the first main quest condition!] 9527: [If you wish to bind this key item, the system will now match the refreshing point position for the corresponding character.] 9527: [Once the binding process starts, you must enter and activate your exclusive refresh point within 10 seconds.] 9527: [Therefore, please make sure to start the binding process when you are within the refresh point’s range.] 9527: [Do you want to start matching the refreshing point position for this character now?] Successfully obtained the first character’s key item. But now is not the time to bind it. Wen Nan hasn’t decided who exactly to bind yet. So after clicking [No], Wen Nan placed the whistle into the equipment reserve slot. Remembering another thing, Wen Nan then looked at Yu Shujun, raising an eyebrow slightly, "How did the item in my pocket end up with you?" That set of clothes was left in the bathroom after Wen Nan took a shower, which means, Yu Shujun went into the bathroom later, secretly went to the dirty clothes basket, and rummaged through Wen Nan’s clothes? This behavior seems a bit stalkerish... Being scrutinized by Wen Nan’s gaze, Yu Shujun averted his gaze, "The system prompt said there was an important clue, so I took it." "Is that so." Wen Nan shrugged, didn’t press further. Flipping through the chat logs, saw the message from Ru Huan— [Ru Huan: The invitation in that storage room earlier, are you still willing?] [Ru Huan: I left the bracelet in the bottom drawer of your desk] [Ru Huan: If you’re willing, Little Jiu, I’ll be waiting for you to come to my place] [Ru Huan: [Location]] Closed Ru Huan’s messages and then pulled up Wenwen’s chat— [Wenwen: Brother Nine, I mentioned during work, my place is vacant now] [Wenwen: Since your house exploded, just come stay at my place, how about it?] [Wenwen: I already sent you the stuff when I took the photo, you didn’t accept it, so I just sent it to your office by local courier] [Wenwen: If you’re willing to come, just go fetch it from the office first, then come find me?] Following these two messages, Wen Nan received two system notifications in succession— 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "control-freak young stepmother" key item, exploration degree increased to 98%.] 9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, "unreachable eerie landlord" key item, exploration degree increased to 98%.] The other two key items are also almost in hand. This first main quest, after Wen Nan’s house got bombed, the originally slow progress bar shot up past halfway. Wen Nan glanced at the thick smoke billowing residence on the top floor, thinking: ’I really should thank you, you explosive little pervert, Miss Xiao Fei, who blows up houses on a whim.’ "Bro, what do we do now?" Qiqi leaned over, following Wen Nan’s gaze, worriedly looking at the top of the building, "Your house blew up, Xiao Jun’s place got affected too, and we can’t get in, where else can we go?" Wen Nan smiled and said, "Back to the office." "Ah? We’re not going to sleep on the office floor, right?" Qiqi grimaced. "Going to sleep on the office floor with your brother; you don’t want to?" Wen Nan said, walking towards the parking lot. Qiqi sighed, "Fine, beggars can’t be choosers..." Wen Nan glanced at the kid beside him, pondering if he was insulting him or himself? Entering the underground parking lot, Yu Shujun took the lead, guiding the other two to the spot where the A8L was parked— After sending Zhuang Yichen back, she left the car for Yu Shujun, to make it easier for him to drive over to pick her up early the next morning, then fortuitously run into Wen Nan outside the office during work hours. Wen Nan had no car on this map, so to get to the office, the most convenient way was naturally for Yu Shujun to drive them there. Qiqi instinctively sat in the back seat, while Wen Nan settled into the passenger seat, fastening the seatbelt. Yu Shujun started the car, and on the way out of the parking lot, Wen Nan turned his head, looking at the other’s side profile meaningfully. Yu Shujun, feeling uneasy under his gaze, asked, "What’s wrong?" Wen Nan smiled, "When will you give me your thing?" Yu Shujun paused for a moment, "Haven’t slept yet..." "Haven’t you been lying to me for half the night already?" Wen Nan’s smile deepened, "Not enough? Do you still plan to deceive me into doing something before handing it over?"
