Yu Tang tacitly allowed him to bring the quilt into the room, and even had two basins of water boiled that night.
She prepared all the toiletries for Xiao Lin, and the two sat down together again, very close to each other.
"General, it was clearly me who suggested moving out. But actually, I can't sleep well at night without you."
Xiao Lin lightly stepped into the hot water in the basin, tilted his body, and leaned against Yu Tang's shoulder.
"I'd like to ask the general if, during the days I was away, you also had trouble sleeping, just like I did?"
Yu Tang felt ashamed when he thought about his past self.
He stubbornly insisted, "No..."
"After His Highness left, I slept much better than usual."
Xiao Lin's eyes darkened slightly.
He looked up and asked Yu Tang, "Why did the general come to knock on my door early that morning with his hair disheveled and dark circles under his eyes?"
Damn, didn't you just glance at me and then faint? How can you still observe so closely?
Yu Tang stared at Xiao Lin in shock.
He coughed lightly and continued to stubbornly insist, "Your Highness must have misjudged."
"I was perfectly fine at the time, and I only knocked on your door to ask if you wanted breakfast."
Xiao Lin found it amusing but didn't expose him.
They even found Yu Tang incredibly adorable.
He reached out and pinched a strand of Yu Tang's hair, playing with it as he thought of the name the man had mentioned that night when he was drunk.
Unable to hold back, I exclaimed, "General..."
"Um?"
"I'm a little curious, what is your relationship with Wei Yuan?"
"Wei Yuan?" Yu Tang was dumbfounded: "What Wei Yuan? I don't remember knowing such a person."
"That's strange." Xiao Lin stood up, observed Yu Tang's expression, and said, "You mentioned this name when you were drunk that night, and even said you were sorry to him."
If you don't know him, how could you say such a thing?
Yu Tang tried hard to recall his memories of the past twenty-eight years in modern times.
I searched for ages, but still couldn't find a clue.
"I really don't know him," he replied to Xiao Lin. "Could it be that Your Highness misheard? Or did I misremember someone I know, and that's why I said Wei Yuan?"
Xiao Lin frowned.
He could tell that Yu Tang wasn't lying.
It seems he misunderstood.
With this thought, the potential rival vanished instantly, and Xiao Lin pursed his lips, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
He leaned against Yu Tang again, ruffling the man's hair playfully: "Then I guess you're wrong, General."
"You made me think you had someone else in your heart, and then you came to provoke me. That's really bad."
Yu Tang was completely stunned.
He thought to himself that Xiao Lin's ability to turn the tables on others was truly remarkable.
Every sentence left him speechless.
But... who exactly is Wei Yuan?
Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?
At night, Xiao Lin, a human-shaped heater, fell into a deep sleep while holding Yu Tang's arm.
Yu Tang then called out to the system in his mind: System, did I really mention Wei Yuan that day?
"Yes, it was mentioned."
The system said: "[Before apologizing to Xiao Lin, you said something like 'Yuan'er, Master is sorry,' and uttered some nonsense like you were acting in a movie.]"
Yu Tang: Wei Yuan, Master, good heavens, if you didn't know better, you'd think we were filming some kind of fantasy drama.
Yu Tang: I was really drunk, and I dared to say all sorts of shameless things. In modern times, I would probably be arrested as an old person with a delusional disorder.
Yu Tang instructed the system: Next time I want to drink, you have to supervise me and make sure I don't drink too much, okay?
[Okay, okay! I guarantee I'll complete the task!]
After the system agreed, it suddenly realized that something was wrong.
His eyes widened in shock, and he called out to Yu Tang: "Host! Host!"
Yu Tang: Hmm? What's up?
Chapter 23
He died for the villain for the fourth time (23)
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment by his shout.
Then he laughed: "Tongtong, are you kidding me?"
Yu Tang: I'm just an ordinary person in a small world. The coolest thing I've ever done in my life is jumping from my balcony to my neighbor's balcony across the street. My mom caught me, and my dad beat me up. I couldn't get out of bed for two days.
When Yu Tang thought of her parents, she felt a pang of longing.
He quickly calmed down and replied to the system: So, all I want is to finish the mission, revive, and go home. I don't want to have anything to do with your god.
Besides, we're a human and a god, so there's absolutely no way we could have any relationship.
"But..." the system pouted and said, "[Last night you claimed to be my master, and the Supreme God is also looking for his master. Is this really just a coincidence?]"
The system recalled a previous world where Cheng Luo was holding a pile of BL (Boys' Love) comic books and said he was like the disciple in that master-disciple comic, playing role-playing games with Yu Tang.
Furthermore, the villains in these worlds all look the same and have similar personalities.
At the same time, the Supreme God disappeared...
Is this also a coincidence?
Yu Tang: I understand what you mean.
Yu Tang: You think I'm the master of your sovereign god, and that the current villain is your sovereign god?
【yes.】
Yu Tang asked helplessly: "Do you know what your supreme god's name is?"
"Hmm, we didn't know that either."
The system said: "I only heard the stories of the Lord God and his master from my colleagues, and I don't know their real names."
Besides, even if we knew, we couldn't call them by their names directly, unless we wanted to die.
Yu Tang: Have you ever seen what he looks like?
I've never seen it before.
Yu Tang: Do you know what his master's name is and what he looks like?
Ugh! I don't know either!
The system knew nothing about the problem, leaving me completely baffled.
"Waaah, there's so little information available. I'm just a newbie, I can't access such high-level information, it's too difficult."
He said, feeling wronged, "But host, my intuition tells me that you really have a connection with the Supreme God..."
After listening to the system's words, Yu Tang remained silent for a while, then turned over, and Xiao Lin beside him woke up.
She looked at him sleepily: "General? Why aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"
Thinking of something, Xiao Lin asked worriedly, "Did you have another nightmare?"
He remembered seeing Yu Tang wake up covered in sweat, and he was afraid that Yu Tang would have nightmares again.
“No…” Yu Tang shook his head, his voice softening as he lay down: “Your Highness, don’t worry about me, go to sleep.”
"Hmm..." Xiao Lin leaned close to Yu Tang's arm, clinging to him, and closed his eyes: "General, if you have anything on your mind, you must tell me. Even if I can't help you much, I can still share your burdens."
He said softly, "After my mother passed away, I had no relatives left in this world."
"Now that I am with you, General, you are not only the person I love, but also my only family."
"So General, you don't need to treat me as His Highness anymore. In front of you, I am just an ordinary person who loves you."
Upon hearing these words...
Yu Tang's throat suddenly felt dry.
It felt like I was choking on something, it was uncomfortable.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Yes, I understand, Your Highness."
Xiao Lin fell asleep again, and Yu Tang replied to the system: "Tongtong, from your description, it is clear that this main god must be an extremely powerful person."
Yu Tang: With his abilities, there's absolutely no need for him to use this method of torturing himself and the mission takers to find the person he loves.
Yu Tang said coldly: "And even if we take a step back, I am the master he is looking for."
When I see him, the first thing I'll do is give him a good scolding.
Then let him die ten or eight times like me, and finally kick him.
"puff."
The system couldn't help but laugh out loud: [Haha, host, you're amazing!]
After hearing Yu Tang's words, the system suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether Yu Tang was that master or not.
He really liked this host!
If all of this is truly a trap set by the God, then he will definitely stand on Yu Tang's side!
He shouted to Yu Tang, "Host, I support you! Beat him up!"
