Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Chapter 496: Chapter 81: Heartflutter

”Brother, do you think we won’t have any trouble...? We haven’t done anything, after all, we’re victims too.”

The woman in the deep red sweater spoke, her tears almost spilling out.

Chang Yi felt a little helpless too, thinking that his sister’s family’s luck was indeed too good. Several tragedies happened right under their noses, yet they were unharmed.

”Don’t worry, if you really haven’t done anything, nothing will happen.” he reassured.

The man furrowed his brows and said, ”Chang Yi, do you suspect we have a problem too?”

Chang Yi sighed and said, ”In situations like these, anyone would think you might have a problem.”

He actually didn’t believe his sister’s family had any issues, but things had reached this point, and there was nothing he could do.

The man fell silent for a moment and said, ”We really haven’t done anything, as long as we are treated fairly, it’s fine.”

He feared their family being used as scapegoats; after all, such matters are unclear, and even if they are wrongly accused, there might not be a chance to voice it.

Fortunately, his brother-in-law worked at the Security Bureau, and his position seemed to be relatively high.

”By the way, when did you join the Security Bureau? We hadn’t heard a word about it before.” the man asked curiously.

Chang Yi thought for a moment and somewhat reluctantly explained, ”These things are classified, I couldn’t tell you, right.”

The man nodded, thinking it made sense: ”Ah, indeed.”

The door was pushed open.

Su Changxing strode in and saw Chang Yi and the others, saying, ”Chang Yi, have you found any issues?”

Seeing Su Changxing enter, Chang Yi stood up and said, ”Leader Su, not currently, but I think my sister’s family might just have good luck, and they’re just ordinary people.”

Su Changxing turned his head to look at the two, indeed finding nothing unusual; they were ordinary people, with no signs of enhancement.

Could it really just be a coincidence?

”Leader Su.”

The two also stood up and called out, showing a look of surprise, taken aback that this leader was so young.

Beyond imagination, they had expected Su Changxing to be a middle-aged man.

These two people, the woman named Chang Haiyu, and the man named Li Junkuo, had no particularly unusual backgrounds, just ordinary office workers, considered middle-class in society.

After chatting for a while, Su Changxing felt there was no major issue and stood up, saying, ”Chang Yi, let your sister’s family stay here for now; it’s safe here.”

Chang Yi nodded with a smile, saying, ”That’s indeed the best.”

Walking out of the room.

Su Changxing felt something was overlooked but couldn’t recall it at the moment. With more important matters awaiting him, there was no need to waste too much energy on a minor issue.

······

Su Changxing, slinging a gun, returned to his residence. Without even pushing the door open, he smelled a rich aroma; Shen Jinxuan had previously messaged him, saying she had cooked specifically for him to try at noon.

”Just in time, huh.”

Shen Jinxuan was wearing a deep black apron, with a tight-fitting gray-white knit top underneath, carrying a plate of fried fish fillet as she emerged, giving Su Changxing a sweet smile.

Su Changxing looked at the dishes on the table, licked his lips, and sat down, saying: ”Hmm, it looks quite tempting; I didn’t expect you’d be so skilled in this.”

”I used to live alone; cooking is quite normal, right.”

Shen Jinxuan sat down, her forefinger pointing on the tabletop, looking at him with anticipation, smiling broadly: ”Hurry and taste how it is~”

Today she seemed like a different person, her eyes shimmering with a bright hue, like translucent orange moonlight, gentle yet enchanting.

Su Changxing looked at her, dazed for a moment.

”Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Shen Jinxuan propped her cheek with the back of her hand, watching him with a pleasant smile.

Su Changxing nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and ate a piece of fried fish fillet, with a light salt and pepper flavor, the surface extraordinarily crispy, the meat surprisingly tender:

”Pretty good, it shows a unique technique.”

”Hmm, lucky for you to have taste.” Shen Jinxuan was confident in her culinary skills.

The two chatted while eating.

Su Changxing felt her focus gradually shifting, as if only he was eating, while Shen Jinxuan watched from the side.

Her pinkish-white cheeks tinged with blush, her body exuded an alluring aroma and a faint fragrance.

”What’s wrong?”

Su Changxing picked her up and placed her on his lap, feeling the softness, sensing her body trembling slightly.

”No, I······”

Shen Jinxuan’s emotions were intense, her eyes different colors, one a deep dark blue, the other a brilliant translucent red, tears glistening and flickering within.

”I’m afraid... why didn’t I meet you sooner.” She gazed at Su Changxing, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, a mysterious panic crossing her expression.

Su Changxing gently stroked her back, smiling and comforting, ”It’s alright, isn’t it good now?”

Shen Jinxuan also didn’t know why she suddenly cried, inexplicable tears slid down, as if feeling time was short.

”······”

The room fell into silence, the two nestled together, time seemed slow yet fast, fluttering like golden leaves on flowing water.

Shen Jinxuan’s face flashed slightly red: ”Well... can you remove your hand?”

Su Changxing remained unmoved, thoughtfully saying, ”Hmm, I thought you didn’t mind.”

”I thought you’d just touch a couple of times and stop.”

”Really······”

”Hmm~ you’re... still keeping it there!”

······

After the meal.

Zhu Wenwu hurriedly came over, saying, ”According to Chen Shen’s description, he went to another world before, and after being discovered, they started attacking him, he nearly died.”

Indeed.

Su Changxing pondered and asked, ”What kind of world specifically?”

Zhu Wenwu widened his eyes and slowly said, ”He said that world seemed unreal, the people he met were not afraid of dying and claimed to be Players; it was as if he had entered a game world.”

Su Changxing asked again, ”How did he get there, and how did he come back?”

Zhu Wenwu explained in detail, ”According to him, it was guided by the Doomsday Game, he wasn’t clear on what was happening, he just tried it out with the mindset of giving it a go.”

”But once there, he couldn’t return immediately; he needed to complete some tasks with relatively rich rewards.”

This must be a change triggered by the Gate of Origin······Su Changxing nodded and said, ”Inform everyone; when there’s similar guidance, report it first, then decide.”

Zhu Wenwu relaxed a bit, saying, ”Hmm, I agree that it’s best; however, it seems some people have disappeared and never reappeared, they very likely have died.”
