521 was a novice system, and its mentality was unstable and easily fell apart. It watched the blackening value rise to 80% and its internal operation almost failed.
But what could it do? The blackening value's rise and fall could only be explored by the host. It was useless for the system to be anxious.
Using its little wings, it flew onto the coffee table. 521 turned away from Lin Yuan and Huo Chen and started to worry about its end of the year performance evaluation.
Wuu~ being a working fur ball is too hard.
Lin Yuan's mentality was slightly better than 521. Maybe because within 10 minutes, the blackening value already rose four times… he was a little used to it now.
For his end of the year performance evaluation, Lin Yuan was willing to bend and stretch. After complaining a little in his heart, he thought that since this much distance still didn't work, then he'll just sit on the floor.
Lin Yuan thought so, and did so. He directly stood up from the sofa and sat on the carpet in front.
Seeing this, Huo Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan, with darkness condensing at the bottom of his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Lin Yuan looked towards him and tentatively asked: "Huo Chen, I won't roll in the sheets with you and I won't hug you. If you sit on the sofa, I'll sit on the ground. Do you feel happier?"
He looked very obedient when he spoke, like a puppy with teary eyes. His legs were bent on the carpet and the pants of the sportswear were elastic. His posture made the clothes ride up a bit, revealing a pale, white calf, thin enough to be encircled with one hand.
Huo Chen didn't understand why Lin Yuan asked such a question. He knitted his eyebrows and pointed to the sofa. In a cold voice he said: "Sit up."
Lin Yuan shook his head. No, the blackening value will rise.
Huo Chen's eyebrows tightened: "I said come up, immediately, right now."
Lin Yuan heard the threat in his voice, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "If I sit, will you be unhappy?"
Huo Chen was about to be driven crazy by the word 'unhappy'. His breathing turned slightly heavy and there seemed to be a touch of scarlet blood in his dark eyes: "Lin Yuan, if you want to make me angry, then don't come up and just sit on the ground."
Lin Yuan quickly sat on the sofa, but there could still fit ten people in between him and Huo Chen.
Huo Chen looked at Lin Yuan, who was shrinking into a ball at the edge of the sofa, and looked at the empty space in between them. He expressionlessly picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
As soon as the sound turned back on, Lin Yuan and 521 were drawn to the TV at the same time and were engrossed to the point of forgetting to eat or fight. Soon, on the screen appeared an ashen face, red eyes, with blood dripping out of the corners of the mouth. A ghost.
And then -- --
"Senior!!!!"
"Huo Chen!!!"
521 rushed to Lin Yuan's side and Lin Yuan scrambled over to Huo Chen.
Just as he was about to hide in his arms, Lin Yuan, a dedicated employee of the Time and Space Administration, remembered the 80% blackening value and his working soul ignited. He painfully forced himself to hide behind Huo Chen instead of drilling into his arms.
Huo Chen shifted to observe the young man who was trembling behind his shoulder and couldn't help but look at him with curiosity. He smiled inexplicably: "Afraid?"
Lin Yuan grabbed Huo Chen's clothes and stared at the screen. When he heard the question, he quickly nodded several times: "I'm afraid..."
Huo Chen turned ninety degrees and his narrow eyes drooped. He lazily asked: "You're really scared?"
"En, really scared." Lin Yuan nodded very hard. The ghost was terrifying. Then he blinked curiously and asked: "Are you scared?"
Huo Chen lifted his hand and laid it on the back of the sofa. His distinct fingers were very beautiful against the dark sofa, like a finely carved work of art: "Not scared. I'm not scared at all." t/n he wants you in his arms baby
Lin Yuan was very envious when he heard it: "It'd be better if I wasn't scared."
Huo Chen knew that this simple fellow couldn't understand what people said, but he couldn't say what he wanted directly. He couldn't say it, so in the end with a gloomy and handsome face he said coldly: "Be quiet, don't disturb me."
Lin Yuan nodded obediently: "Okay, I won't disturb you."
Then the living room was full of the horror movie's sound effects and the pretentious screams of the actors. Lin Yuan was worried that if he disturbed Huo Chen, the blackening value would rise again, so he could only cover his mouth and watch.
Huo Chen lazily folded his legs and unintentionally looked at the crying young man with red eyes beside him, and his mood inexplicably calmed down.
[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value decreased to 79%. Please continue working hard.]
The system prompt suddenly sounded and shocked Lin Yuan, who was immersed in the ghost horror movie.
Seeing that the blackening value dropped by 1%, Lin Yuan quickly looked left and right, wanting to learn lessons and gain experience to continue to work hard. Then he found that almost half of his body was lying on Huo Chen.
Lin Yuan: "?"
This??
Lin Yuan thought about it, and pretended he accidentally hugged Huo Chen's neck.
Huo Chen didn't expect that the little fool Lin Yuan would know how to act to deceive people, so he only glanced over faintly and didn't say anything.
Finally, when Lin Yuan finished his act and completely squeezed into Huo Chen's embrace, the system sounded again.
[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value decreased to 76%. Please continue to work hard to eliminate the villain's blackening value, fighting~]
Lin Yuan found out that Huo Chen liked hugs, he just didn't say so.
