Senior, could you play the female knight Ling Shuang?

...Next door in Room 205, inside the bathroom.

Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan, the two brothers in misfortune, were currently sitting side by side on two dining chairs.

Their situation wasn't great. After being bandaged by Dr. Qiao Xi's professional techniques... they looked exactly like two giant silkworm cocoons, with only their heads exposed, barely able to turn.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph..."

"Mmph, mmph, mmph, mmph..."

Their mouths were stuffed with things, so they could only make muffled sounds.

Zhang Longqi's eyes, swollen into mere slits, were filled with anger and resentment; he wanted to kill Chen Yu with his gaze.

Liu Zixuan's eyes were wide open, and he blinked hard as if he had something to say to Chen Yu.

But Chen Yu didn't want to listen.

He adjusted the angle of the chairs to ensure both heads were facing the mirror directly.

Then he took two steps back.

"Don't close your eyes; you have to face it sooner or later."

Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Just watch for a full five minutes. Let's get ready to start. Good luck to us."

After saying that,

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut.

The bathroom fell into total silence.

Chen Yu walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, not worried about their state.

As long as they had the will to live and didn't close their eyes, the task would likely be completed soon.

But if they wanted to seek death, no matter what Chen Yu did, he wouldn't be able to save them.

As for Dr. Qiao Xi on the third floor.

Chen Yu wasn't worried at all.

After all, the danger of this task depended entirely on an individual's intelligence and courage.

Dr. Qiao Xi should be fine.

For a surgeon to be scared by disembowelment would be truly absurd.

Five minutes' time.

Passed in a flash.

But Chen Yu was in no hurry to open the door.

It wasn't until over ten minutes later... that Chen Yu slowly stood up and pulled open the bathroom door.

Zhang Longqi and Liu Zixuan's eyes were wide and bloodshot, their pupils somewhat dilated. Their faces were covered in tears and snot; they clearly looked broken.

They had lost half their souls.

Understandable.

They were more desperate than normal participants; they could only watch.

Chen Yu dragged the chairs one in each hand, repositioning the two of them in the living room.

Then, he left the room without looking back.

He had more important things to do, which was to perform the Exorcism on Senior Sister Shen.

It had to be said.

The big star indeed had something extraordinary about her.

With the double stimulation of psychological and physiological factors, Chen Yu almost lost control many times.

He first went upstairs to check on Dr. Qiao Xi.

Although she was in a bit of a panic, fortunately, nothing unexpected happened... Inside the bedroom of Room 204.

Chen Yu sat on the edge of the bed, with Shen Qingci facing him.

Just like before.

The white T-shirt was somewhat redundant for the Exorcism to proceed smoothly, so it was currently hanging on the rack by the door.

Her breathing was a bit rapid.

Her legs, clad in tight wide-leg jeans, were pressed tightly together.

The Exorcism had long since exceeded the scope of what was necessary.

Both of them were well aware of this.

But Chen Yu's expression was pained, and his breathing was somewhat labored; this probably couldn't be faked.

Shen Qingci didn't dare to look at him.

She felt like the sound of her own heartbeat was about to drown out all other noises in the room.

"Chen Yu..."

"Stop..."

"That's enough for today. We can take it slowly..."

Shyness belatedly welled up.

But more overwhelming than shyness was the heartache deep in her soul.

He was clearly suffering so much, yet he was forcing himself to endure.

So, even if he went a little too far, Shen Qingci wouldn't say a word.

She would just treat it as... just treat it as Chen Yu's way of relieving stress.

But having received so much care, could she really repay the favor with just this level of stress relief?

Shen Qingci's heart was in turmoil... The more she saw Chen Yu's strained expression, the more moved and self-reproachful she felt.

"It's fine, Senior Sister. *Cough, cough, cough.* How do you feel today?"

Chen Yu asked somewhat weakly.

Shen Qingci whispered, "It hurts a little. Be gentler..."

"Ah."

Chen Yu quickly apologized, "Senior Sister, I accidentally..."

"It's okay."

Shen Qingci spoke softly, "I understand. You've worked hard, Junior Brother Chen Yu..."

"Let's stop here for today."

Chen Yu's voice sounded a bit weary as he tried to pull back his hand. "Rest well, Senior Sister."

"Wait."

Shen Qingci's hand gently grabbed the back of his hand as he was about to move it away.

Chen Yu's movements stopped.

In the darkness, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

But no one would ever notice.

"There's still... some time before dawn."

She paused, seemingly weighing her words. "Um... if the Exorcism just now took too much out of you, or if you have... something else weighing on your mind..."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter; the already bashful scene became even more ambiguous.

"My life was saved by you in the first place."

"So... if you're really under a lot of pressure and need to relieve it... I..."

"Senior Sister, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Chen Yu interrupted her directly.

Shen Qingci's body visibly stiffened.

She opened her mouth, her heart pounding like thunder.

Chen Yu didn't say anything else but suddenly leaned in, until their cheeks were only an inch apart.

"Then... I'll help you."

"Good. By the way, Senior Sister, can you roleplay as Female Knight-errant Ling Shuang?"

"?"

...Not much time was left before the dawn of the fourth day.

Chen Yu and Female Knight-errant Ling Shuang spent a wonderful night together.

It was worth mentioning that Chen Yu actually had a gossipy side.

Since Female Knight-errant Ling Shuang was quite famous in the Entertainment Industry, Chen Yu learned quite a few secrets because of this.

For example, a certain famous female celebrity actually rose to the top through XX.

For instance, a spectacular catfight broke out backstage at a certain Software Night gala.

"Speaking of which, if my uncle hadn't been protecting me, I would never have dared to enter the Entertainment Industry."

Shen Qingci seemed to be reminiscing, or perhaps sighing.

"Thinking back on those rumors, some true and some false, it's all quite surreal."

Chen Yu toyed with a stray lock of her long hair. "I only hope that now, after the apocalypse, I can also distinguish truth from falsehood."

Shen Qingci was taken aback. "Truth from falsehood?"

Chen Yu spoke calmly, "Some people are real, and some are fake. For example, with so many girls on our bus, if I can't tell whose feelings are real, I won't even know how I died..."

This sentence basically summarized his tragic past life.

Shen Qingci shook her head gently. "With your current strength, why would you even need to bother distinguishing truth from falsehood?"

She paused, her eyes shimmering. "Step back and think, even if someone did have other intentions, they probably wouldn't be able to hide them from you, would they?"

Chen Yu chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying.

Shen Qingci's tone carried a hint of emotion. "Matters of the heart are indeed unpredictable sometimes. Have you noticed that even a girl as introverted and quiet as Lin Yue has fallen for you?"

"Has she?"

Chen Yu could naturally tell, but Lin Yue's behavior really didn't seem like a simple crush.

Shen Qingci nodded. "After you left this afternoon, she stood alone behind the door, watching the direction you went in silence for a long time..."

"Later, probably because she was really worried, she pushed the door open and went out for a while, saying she was getting some fresh air, but her expression looked more like she was worried about you~"
