Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
Previously, Lu Qingyuan had always been narcissistic, and what he said to him was always a question followed by a self-evident affirmation.
She never doubted her own charm and felt from the bottom of her heart that Yu Tang liked her.
But why are you suddenly asking this question again?
"I..." Yu Tang's face turned pale, and he hesitated to speak.
He is actually a very passive person.
The system also said that he had never confessed his feelings to the villains of the previous worlds.
In the early stages, it was mostly the villains who constantly tried to win him over, gradually moving him with their sincerity, before forcing him to confront his own feelings.
Yu Tang also discovered that whenever he thought about liking someone, his heart would beat faster, accompanied by a constant stream of noise in his mind and an uncontrollable pain in his heart.
This pressure made it difficult for him to breathe, causing him great pain.
Only by stopping thinking about it and stopping being moved can you break free.
But for some reason, he didn't want to get rid of it.
The system says that feelings are something that are "deeply ingrained" in one's bones.
Just like Lu Qingyuan, who has a long history of misdeeds and has killed so many humans and angels, Yu Tang can coax him with just a few words.
And from the beginning until now, this demon has never really harmed him.
Yu Tang never truly understood what the little devil was really thinking, despite his narcissistic and ridiculous pronouncements.
But at least for this moment, upon hearing Lu Qingyuan's question, he felt the earnestness and trepidation in the other's embrace.
He vaguely understood.
Lu Qingyuan's previous narcissism and childishness may have been just a facade. In reality, he may not be as strong as he appears, and may even be somewhat vulnerable.
With this in mind, even with all the noise in her head and the pain in her heart, Yu Tang gritted her teeth and answered Lu Qingyuan earnestly: "Little devil, I really like you."
Chapter 22
Died for the fifth time for the villain (22)
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The system covered its mouth and whimpered within Yu Tang's consciousness.
Lu Qingyuan was also stunned, somewhat at a loss.
When he stared intently at Yu Tang just now, he noticed that there didn't seem to be any deep emotion in the other person's eyes.
That's why he felt uneasy and couldn't help but be suspicious.
But when he finally received Yu Tang's accurate answer, he felt it was all very unreal.
It felt like walking on cotton; my whole body felt light and airy, never quite touching the ground.
He thought his feelings for the angel were more lust and teasing than genuine affection, but that wasn't actually the case.
He seemed to like Yu Tang even more than I had imagined.
That's terrible.
This uncontrollable emotion is really awful.
Holding the man in his arms tighter, Lu Qingyuan said stubbornly, "Ha, man, you finally admit that you like me."
The pleasant atmosphere was ruined by Lu Qingyuan's words, and Yu Tang really felt that she had wasted her feelings.
This kid is really narcissistic all the time...
"But don't worry, I really do like you." Lu Qingyuan's voice was tinged with laughter, yet his seriousness was still evident. "And although I always say that the people who like me could line up from the Heavenly God Tree to the Fire Hell Pool, I wouldn't want even if you gave me those kinds of people."
"I have lived as a human for more than ten years and as a demon for several decades, nearly a hundred years. You are the first person I have ever fallen in love with."
“But it might not be the last.” Lu Qingyuan changed the subject and said, “So, old angel, you must try even harder to like me.”
Then I'll like you even more, and then we can be entangled for a lifetime.
Yu Tang found his words both amusing and exasperating.
Finally, he could only nod and agree: "Okay, okay, I got it."
Switching to the second game, Yu Tang was somewhat bewildered when he saw the scene before him.
He found himself in a closed space with four white walls.
Apart from Lu Qingyuan beside him and the five bewildered people standing there, there was nothing else.
"Where the hell is this?" One of the tall guys among the five people besides Yu Tang and Lu Qingyuan swore right off the bat.
He was still wearing his basketball jersey with numbers printed on it. He kicked the wall next to him and said in a strange voice, "How the hell did I end up in this godforsaken place just to play basketball?"
Among the five people were a middle-aged man and a young woman whose clothes were disheveled.
They both looked embarrassed, but quickly composed themselves.
After tidying themselves up, the woman asked the middle-aged man, "Mr. Wang, do you know where this is?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know..."
He took out his phone, looked at it, and frowned: "Why is there no signal here?"
Besides the three of them, there were two college girls, each holding a cup of milk tea and carrying a cake they had just bought, looking bewildered.
The two girls glanced at the irritable boy, then at the woman and middle-aged man who were clearly members of the underworld, and finally walked up to Yu Tang and Lu Qingyuan, asking them, "Did you also just wander around and suddenly end up here?"
Before Lu Qingyuan could speak, Yu Tang said in advance, "Well, I took my younger brother to the mall to buy clothes, and we ended up here just as we were about to pay."
Lu Qingyuan frowned, leaned close to Yu Tang's ear, and said with a forced smile, "Younger brother? He's clearly my boyfriend, but you insist on calling him my younger brother. Old angel, could it be that you..."
Yu Tang instinctively knew he wouldn't say anything nice, and was about to change the subject when Lu Qingyuan said, "You have that unique fetish, don't you? You like me calling you...brother?"
When he called out "brother," Lu Qingyuan deliberately lowered his voice.
The shout sent shivers down Yu Tang's spine, and he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Don't yell!" he scolded Lu Qingyuan lightly, pushing the devil's face away.
Then look at the two girls, they're looking at them with the eyes of someone who's discovered some kind of treasure.
If eyes could glow, Yu Tang felt she would be blinded by their gazes.
He instinctively explained, "Um, don't misunderstand."
“We understand, we understand, we won’t misunderstand.” The two girls smiled so broadly their mouths almost touched the sun: “You two are brothers, he’s your younger brother, and you’re his older brother.”
One of the girls exclaimed, "Wow, you two brothers are so handsome! You're such a perfect match, cough cough, I'm so envious..."
Although she changed her mind halfway through, Yu Tang still heard the girl say that they were a good match, and his cheeks couldn't help but flush.
Lu Qingyuan watched the whole thing, and the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
Hello everyone, welcome to the battle royale game.
The familiar mechanical sound rang out, and Yu Tang turned to look at Lu Qingyuan, only to see the other's mocking smile.
The theme of this game is "defusing the bomb". You are currently on the first floor of a seven-story tower, and the bomb is on the seventh floor.
You must reach the top floor and defuse the bomb within 72 hours to return to your original world.
Otherwise, if the bomb explodes, all of you inside the tower will perish, with no survivors.
The game begins.
This time there were no vengeful ghosts, but a bomb even more terrifying than a vengeful ghost was hanging overhead.
Yu Tang was shocked by Lu Qingyuan's game settings.
Just as I was about to ask, I heard the girl next to me ask her friend in a trembling voice.
"How could this happen? Yuqing, are we really... are we going to die?"
The girl called Yuqing lost her smile and looked frightened.
But upon seeing her friend's reddened eyes, she tried her best to control her emotions and replied, "Don't talk about death until the very end."
"Although I don't know if this so-called game is real."
But I believe that as long as we work together, we can eventually escape from here.
"Damn it!" The enraged boy had started pounding on the wall, veins bulging on his forehead: "What the hell is this?! Where did this bomb come from?! Who's talking?! If you've got the guts, talk to me! Get out here if you dare!"
Only the middle-aged man and the young woman on the other side remained relatively calm, but their expressions were still rather unpleasant.
Looking at the panicked girls, Yu Tang felt a pang of pity. He took a step back, grabbed Lu Qingyuan, and asked him, "Why did you choose these five people this time? Are they all guilty?"
Chapter 23
Died for the fifth time for the villain (23)
"What?" Lu Qingyuan looked at him with a smile: "Starting to feel sorry for him again?"
Yu Tang: "It's not that I feel sorry for them, it's just that I don't think those two girls are the kind of people who would do bad things."
"In the end, it's all about being deceived by appearances." Lu Qingyuan brought his face close to his: "Then look at me, do I look like a demon who killed 20,000 humans?"
"You're supposed to be the angel who should punish me, but you just told me you like me. You're just too trusting."
Yu Tang was speechless, completely stumped by his words.
After all, his feelings for Lu Qingyuan were quite complicated.
Because he knew that this person's previous incarnation was the main god Wei Yuan, and also because he heard from the system that the villains in the previous worlds had not done anything heinous.
Therefore, he accepted Lu Qingyuan's offer based on his preconceived notions and gave him a positive answer for the time being.
It seems that this kid has too many secrets, and he needs to figure out this devil little by little.
"However, they didn't actually commit any crimes." Unexpectedly, after denying Yu Tang's statement, Lu Qingyuan suddenly said this, leaving Yu Tang completely bewildered.
"What do you mean?"
"But who knows what will happen in a little while?" Lu Qingyuan said to himself, "The topic last time was Zhao Tingting's murder case, and those people were all the murderers."
