I write obituaries for the gods

They betrayed the Investigation Bureau, betrayed Yudu, betrayed their own oath, and became oppressors no different from tyrants.

But they were once ordinary working people, going in and out of the canteen every day, complaining about their superiors, the weather, and prices.

Can a few months really transform a person into a completely different thing?

"Crash..."

Hot water gushed from the tap, washing over Lin Chen's strong, muscular physique.

He looked up, bathing in the hot water, feeling the fatigue melt away from his head and flow down his body into the sewer.

After taking a nice, hot shower, Lin Chen changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Li Zhanyi's embarrassed expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Um...this is bad..."

Li Zhanyi scratched her face and waved her hand slightly, signaling Lin Chen to follow her.

Lin Chen followed Li Zhanyi to his bedroom and discovered a large crack in the wall.

"We were caught in the crossfire..." Li Zhanyi pursed his lips.

Lin Chen was stunned when he saw the large crack.

What a terrible coincidence!

"It's okay, I can go to Huihui and Liti's room to sleep," Lin Chen quickly said.

Li Zhanyi didn't say anything. She pulled Lin Chen's sleeve and led him to Huihui and Liti's room.

Then Lin Chen saw a large hole in the wall...

There was even half a shell fragment on the floor.

"It was also bombed..." Li Zhanyi's voice was somewhat hollow.

Lin Chen scratched the back of his head, speechless for a moment.

Is it really possible for something this unlucky to happen...?

“It’s okay, let’s just make do for now,” he said. “I’ll just sleep on the sofa, I’ll be busy again tomorrow anyway.”

"That won't do!" Li Zhanyi shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, you've been so tired lately, it would be too much for me to let you sleep on the sofa!"

The girl puffed out her cheeks slightly, as if a storm was raging in her mind, and it was unclear what she was arguing about.

She pondered for a long time, and finally stomped her foot lightly in a self-deprecating manner.

"You can sleep in my room!" Li Zhanyi avoided Lin Chen's gaze. "My room wasn't bombed!"

"Sleep in your room?" Lin Chen was taken aback. "Then you won't have anywhere to sleep?"

Li Zhanyi raised her head, glanced at Lin Chen with a somewhat blank expression, and then her cheeks puffed out slightly.

"I...I have a very big bed!" she stammered.

"Is the bed big?"

"Yes...!"

"But we can't...wait..."

Lin Chen seemed to realize what was happening.

This girl is inviting him to sleep together!

"I can't accept this." Lin Chen turned his head slightly.

"Stop being so stubborn! Getting some rest is the most important thing!" Li Zhanyi shoved the towel she was using to dry her hair into Lin Chen's arms. "I'm going to take a shower, you should go to sleep!"

After saying that, she ran towards the washroom as if fleeing.

Looking at the girl's back, Lin Chen was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Oh no... I have no experience with this...

He stood in the living room for a long time, finally took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and pushed open Li Zhanyi's door—

"Splash."

A faint scent of pomelo blossoms wafted over, it was hard to tell whether it was a natural fragrance of the room or something added by Li Zhanyi's arrival.

Li Zhanyi's room was not like the stereotypical girl's boudoir that Lin Chen had imagined. It was neatly arranged, with bookshelves, desks and other furniture piled up next to the coffee-colored walls, making it look warm and artistic.

At this moment, Li Zhanyi had already turned on the small projection ambient light, and the starry sky was projected onto the ceiling, slowly flowing.

Li Zhanyi has always loved stars.

This is the kind of silly girl who would go to the Southern Development Zone alone to chase meteor showers, so of course there would be this kind of little ambient light in her bedroom.

Lin Chen glanced at the bed and saw that two sets of bedding had already been placed on the white sheets, which showed that Li Zhanyi was still very polite.

He dried his hair, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

Fall asleep quickly, fall asleep quickly, so you won't be embarrassed later...

Tsk... Won't that be awkward?

Lin Chen's mind was filled with random thoughts.

As he was wandering in a boundless sea of ​​thoughts, the sound of the door opening came, accompanied by the pleasant scent of shampoo.

Soon, the bed sank slightly, and something climbed onto it...

Then she lay down next to Lin Chen.

......

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Visitors from the East (6000 words)

"Are you asleep?" Li Zhanyi asked softly.

Lin Chen didn't want to speak, but the sound of him swallowing seemed to give him away.

"Not yet," Lin Chen said.

Li Zhanyi did not respond, and Lin Chen guessed that she was probably staring blankly at the stars on the ceiling.

"I'm so tired," Li Zhanyi sighed softly.

“Yes,” Lin Chen replied.

The two fell silent. The wind blew against the window, and fine raindrops pattered against the security bars, making a crackling sound.

“Louis is so strange,” Li Zhanyi suddenly said. “He hates you, as if he feels you’re too close to me, and then he’s also a bit… a bit…”

She hesitated for a long time before speaking softly:

"...You like me a little, don't you?"

“Probably,” Lin Chen recalled Louis’s expression when he talked about Li Zhanyi. “Wasn’t he upset because you didn’t become his roommate?”

"This is terrible..." Li Zhanyi sighed softly, "Did I hurt him?"

Lin Chen opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw Li Zhanyi sitting on the pillow staring blankly at the ceiling, looking somewhat sad.

She may have felt that it was her rejection and alienation that led Louise down an extreme path.

“You don’t owe him anything, Zhanyi,” Lin Chen said softly. “You’re blaming yourself for this because you’re too kind, but you really don’t owe him anything.”

"Yeah...?"

"You don't have those kinds of feelings for him, do you?"

“How could that be?” Li Zhanyi shook her head gently. “Back then, I only thought of him as a colleague. He was clumsy and didn’t seem to be good at socializing, but he would always do some little things to attract my attention, leaving me unsure whether to reply or not.”

"For example... well... he clearly doesn't play FPS games, but he insists on playing against me in Legends of Mir, then picks some really cool heroes and tries to play them, but he actually plays terribly..."

“He’s trying to get your attention,” Lin Chen sighed. “Boys driven by hormones are all like that.”

"So I was... a little embarrassed," Li Zhanyi shook her head, "Back then, he offered to be my roommate, and I refused..."

“It’s only human nature,” Lin Chen said. “Don’t let it cause internal conflict; excessive kindness will only hurt yourself.”

"Yeah..."

Li Zhanyi turned her face, and her soft features were reflected in Lin Chen's eyes, like a gentle stream flowing through mountains and rivers.

"Sorry, I'm being sentimental again," Li Zhanyi smiled at Lin Chen, "I really never imagined I'd have to shoot him one day... really..."

"I didn't expect that either," Lin Chen said.

"I thought he was dead, I thought I killed him..." Tears welled up in Li Zhanyi's eyes. "Oh God..."

Seeing Li Zhanyi's pitiful appearance, Lin Chen did not think she was being pretentious.

Even though Louis's appearance became increasingly repulsive, Lin Chen still feels a thorn stuck in his heart.

He understood Li Zhanyi's thoughts: regardless of whether Louis deserved to die, his existence represented a memory, a past.

In those memories, the Rapid Response Division No. 1 had countless moments of life and death, sharing hardships and joys, and countless moments of warmth and glory.

Their constant confrontation with Louis serves as a reminder that the past is gone forever.

The shy technician has transformed into a demon of desire and will no longer reliably provide them with intelligence on the communication frequency.

While infighting among colleagues is cruel, it is far less cruel than the passage of time.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Chen smiled faintly.

“You’ve done very well, really,” he said softly.

Then, Lin Chen did something he had never dared to do before.

He gently reached out and embraced Li Zhanyi.

Both of them were clearly taken aback by the sudden action. Lin Chen didn't realize what he had done, and Li Zhanyi didn't realize what had happened either.

When they came to their senses, they started breathing almost at the same time.

"ha..."

Li Zhanyi shrank back shyly, lowering her head and gently pressing her forehead against Lin Chen's chest.

Lin Chen didn't know how to get out of the situation for a moment, so he could only whisper:

"Get a good night's sleep, okay?"

"Um..."

Li Zhanyi gently rubbed against her, then closed her eyes and remained motionless.

The girl's body was as soft and fragrant as a cushion, making Lin Chen feel as if he were hugging a cotton candy cloud.

He closed his eyes, tried to clear his mind, and fell asleep.

......

The next morning, when Lin Chen woke up, Li Zhanyi was gone.

He got up, rubbed his eyes, and vaguely smelled the aroma of noodle soup wafting from outside the door.

Lin Chen stretched and felt that he was in much better condition than before.

My body is becoming more and more resilient these days. After such a big exertion, a good night's sleep will do the trick.

Lin Chen changed his clothes, got up, and pushed open the door to enter the living room.

Good morning, Brother Lin.

Li Zhanyi poked her head out of the kitchen, smiled and waved at Lin Chen, looking very healthy.

"The noodles with minced meat sauce will be ready soon, go wash up!"

"it is good."

Lin Chen was stunned as he watched Li Zhanyi's figure disappear into the kitchen.

I always feel like my clothes look especially nice when they're damp...

I thought she'd be a little shy like before, after all, last night was...

"Crash..."

In front of the sink, Lin Chen patted his face vigorously.
