[Welcome to the beginner player “Ruan Mianmian” to enter the single player mutual aid copy [Orphanage of Horror], and the game scene will start in 3 seconds. I wish you a happy game!]

It was very dark in front of Ruan Qiao. She felt that the temperature around her decreased a little. How long did it take? Her eyes, which had adapted to the darkness, saw something vaguely.

She sat up from her bed. Through the glimmer of the window, she could see that it was a room for four. The temperature around was a little low, and the quilt was frigid.

[The conditions here are really bad on a cold night, but as a caring volunteer, you certainly don’t care about this.]

Ruan Qiao sat on the bed and did not move in a hurry. She seriously accepted the game information.

[Unexpectedly, the night in the orphanage is so cold, and unexpectedly, it was so hard for you nine volunteers to endure even on the first night. The room is so big, and although there are not many children here, you should take good care of them.]

[After all, you guys only need to stay here for five days. It’s currently midnight on the 3rd. By midnight on the 8th, your task will be completed.]

The task panel can be called upon at any time to check. Ruan Qiao took a look at the task target, it was completely blank there. It seemed that the task required needed to be triggered in order for them to receive the task.

Ruan Qiao found a small sign with A3 written on it pinned on her clothes. 

“Who are you?” A young girl’s alert voice resounded in the darkness.

Ruan Qiao looked towards the source of the voice and saw a figure sitting on the opposite bed.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the painful wails of a child coming from outside that caused her hair to raise.

In the dark night, it is particularly harsh.

Ruan Qiao’s current team won the global championship for the competitive game [Survival Line SL], and the boss gave them a little holiday excitedly.

The first day of the holiday was her 19th birthday. Ruan Qiao did not like the excitement. Shen Junmu was the only one invited to the birthday party in the evening.

Her parents were reassured by her. Ruan Qiao moved to Chengdu alone for the convenience of training and competition with her teammates. Shen Junmu is her partner. The two people have a unique understanding in the game. Some fans gave them a CP named “Woodbridge”1. On weekdays, even the team friends often make fun of the two of them, and both acquiesce that Ruan Qiao is Shen Junmu’s girlfriend.

To tell the truth, Shen Junmu really took care of her. He is also a gentle and considerate person. He is 180 centimeters tall, handsome and clean. His girlfriend fans are no less than the game fans.

Nobody dislikes Shen Junmu, and Ruan Qiao is no exception.

But their relationship has been in a very strange state. The two have not confirmed their relationship, but Shen Junmu never denied it when others said she was his girlfriend.

At first, Ruan Qiao just made jokes with everyone, but later on, such comments became more and more popular, especially after the cooperation of the two people won the best combination in the championship, even the official posters intended to guide in this direction.

Although Ruan Qiao likes Shen Junmu, she also knows that the clear relationship between the two is limited to game partners.

She booked a restaurant and ordered cake for tonight’s birthday party, and sent a message to Shen Junmu that it was an ordinary dinner party, without mentioning anything else.

When Ruan Qiao arrived at the place, she discovered that Shen Junmu arrived a long time earlier than the appointed time, and there was an exquisite gift box on the seat next to him.

“For you, as your birthday gift.” Shen Junmu looks more gentle and good-looking when he smiles. “I’ll take you out later in the evening.”

His clothing was not complicated, white shirt, jeans, simple as a student.

Ruan Qiao opened the gift, which was a bracelet she liked very much. Shen Junmu is such a person who pays attention to all your details and needs, even if you never mentioned them.

She asked him to come here tonight just to gain an understanding.

But before she spoke, Mu Qiao called first, saying that she hurt her leg while practicing yoga and wanted Shen Junmu to take her to the hospital.

“She has a boyfriend, why does she want you to go?” Ruan Qiao stirred her milk tea, “I have something important to tell you tonight.”

Shen Junmu: “I can’t get through to Alin’s phone. I’ll make up for your birthday tomorrow.”
