Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 844: Chapter 509: New Survivor? (5,200 Words)

”It’s actually that dangerous...”

Listening to Xu Xin recount his experiences, Xu Ying felt her heart pounding with fear, and looked at Xu Xin in front of her with great apprehension.

Then she suddenly blurted out, ”Bro, are you already dead? Your soul came back, that’s why you’re like this?”

If he could touch her now, Xu Xin would have flicked her forehead in a heartbeat.

”If I was dead, then maybe only you’d remember me in the future.” Xu Xin replied, somewhat sullenly.

”Then forget about it, bro, you better stay alive.” Xu Ying shook her head vigorously, ”I don’t want to be considered crazy all the time.”

Xu Xin continued his story.

But was quickly interrupted again.

”Bro, you’re not bragging, are you?”

Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin filled with disbelief, ”You won first place again? Out of ten thousand people, twice in a row? I don’t buy it, you can’t even beat me at games, how could you be first in a world like that? I don’t believe it.”

”I can’t beat you at games...” Xu Xin scoffed and shook his head helplessly, ”I don’t know who it was that would sulk and tear up every time they lost. How could I dare to win?”

”Huh?” Xu Ying jumped up immediately, ”I never did that!”

”Alright, alright, you didn’t.” Xu Xin waved his hand, not wanting to argue.

”...You! You always do this!” Xu Ying wanted to punch him, but could only swing at air, frustrated, she sat back on the bed. But she was more drawn to Xu Xin’s story, so instead of sulking, she asked curiously, ”And then? Is that little panda still following you?”

”And then...”

After experiencing so many life-and-death moments, time spent with family always passes quickly.

Xu Xin felt as if he hadn’t relaxed like this in a long, long time.

Even though the current situation is blurry, he hopes he can stay here a little longer.

”Did you find me a sister-in-law?” Xu Ying’s eyes widened, ”In that world?”

”Finding you a sister-in-law is normal, isn’t it?” Xu Xin shrugged, ”When was your brother not popular?”

”Hmph, besides your face, what other merits do you have?” Xu Ying retorted disdainfully, ”In a crisis like that, you’re still thinking about romance, you’re such a hopeless romantic!”

”...In such situations, you need to rely on each other, right.”

”Hmph.”

She felt a bit annoyed.

Her brother being with a girl she didn’t know, in circumstances unknown to her, felt genuinely irritating.

Of course, she couldn’t deny her brother’s good looks.

Though that was thanks to their family’s good genes.

”In that world, I am the strongest survivor.” Xu Xin chuckled, ”I’m quite well-rounded.”

”Alright, alright, if you say so.” Xu Ying mimicked Xu Xin’s dismissive tone and waved her hand, ”Keep going, after all this talk, you still haven’t said how you came back in this state!”

”Before I continue, there’s something I must say first.” Xu Xin’s expression turned slightly serious.

”...I know what you’re about to say. You don’t need to say it.” Xu Ying turned her head, stubbornly, ”I will never forget you! You’re my brother!”

”...Who told you to forget me?” Xu Xin was taken aback, then laughed and cried.

”Hmm?” Xu Ying was confused, then turned to look at him, ”In circumstances like these, aren’t you supposed to say, ’Forget me and live your life’, something like that?”

Xu Xin looked speechless, ”Have you been at home watching too many melodramatic Korean dramas?”

”...Then what were you going to say!” Xu Ying blushed, realizing her misunderstanding, and immediately became annoyed.

”I wasn’t telling you to forget me, I’m not dead yet. Since I can return this way, surely I can come back for real. You don’t need to worry about that.” Xu Xin laughed softly.

”Yeah. I believe you.” Xu Ying’s expression relaxed, nodding, ”Except for not passing your entrance exams, you really haven’t failed much.”

”...Can you not mention what’s better left unsaid?” Xu Xin felt a vein throb on his forehead, ”Besides, didn’t I get in eventually?”

”Heh-heh, then you’d better come back quickly.” Xu Ying smirked gleefully, ”It’s almost the start of school, right? If you don’t report in, you’ll automatically lose your spot!”

...Damn.

That was indeed uncomfortable.

But...

”...This world probably no longer has my place, right?” Xu Xin sighed, ”I’ve probably ceased to exist long ago.”

”Ugh...” Xu Ying suddenly felt regret for mentioning this, ”You... hurry back and make them remember you again!”

”Yeah, I will.” Xu Xin nodded gently, looking into Xu Ying’s eyes, with a slightly stern tone, ”But this is my business, you can’t let it affect your life because of me afterwards.”

”...In the end, you still want me to forget you, huh.” Xu Ying grabbed a pillow and threw it at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin instinctively reached out to catch it, but...

”What the...!”

He was knocked off the chair by what was supposed to be a light pillow!

That pillow... so heavy!

However, in his current state, he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

”Ah!” Xu Ying exclaimed, quickly jumped over to remove the pillow, ”How did this happen?! Are you alright, bro?”
