Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1609 The Long Night (What kind of abstract thing are beef biscuits?)

A snowstorm was howling outside the window. It was quite warm inside the hotel, but the atmosphere was as cold as ice.

"I have already called to request rescue. A professional search and rescue team should be organized below. When the weather improves, they will immediately go to the mountain to rescue."

After hanging up the phone, the director walked over with a tired look on his face and spoke to the crew sitting in the living room.

"Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, we can only stay here. It's better not to take any unauthorized action until the situation becomes clear. Do you understand?"

In response to the director's order, all everyone could do was nod.

"I hope Miss Mai is okay."

Arima Kana was holding the cup, staring out the window and muttering to herself, while Kurokawa Akane next to her glanced at her.

"Aren't you worried about Xiao Ai?"

"I can't imagine her suffering at all."

"Me too."

The two nodded. Compared to the panicked crew, Arima Kanai and Kurokawa Akane were confident in Duanmu Huai. In other words, it is useless for them to worry now. The heavy snow outside has completely blocked the surrounding areas, and it is impossible for them to go out to look for people.

"In the manga, the hero and Ryoko seem to have found a cabin to take refuge. Now I can only hope that they are as lucky as in the manga."

All Maganai can do now is pray.

I have to say that Maganai’s prayers are quite useful.

"Huh... I'm really lucky to have found this place before being buried alive in the snow."

Walking into the cold, empty mountain hut, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief, and even Sakurajima Mai showed a relaxed expression. You must know that they had been trekking in the snowstorm for dozens of minutes just now. For a while, Sakurajima Mai even wondered if they had lost their way in the mountains.

"Thank you for finding this place."

"Mountain huts are everywhere, so be careful when you go to the mountains."

Of course Duanmu Huai was talking nonsense. He found it only after he locked the location with his own perception, otherwise Duanmu Huai would have just found a cave to stay.

This kind of mountain hut is used by hunters or people who go up the mountain to rest. It has all the simple things needed, including dry firewood and matches. Duanmuhuai stuffed the firewood into the fireplace, then placed dry branches on it and lit it. After a while, the originally cold wooden house gradually became warmer.

"You seem to be familiar with these."

Mai Sakurajima, who was sitting next to her, watched this scene and asked curiously.

"My hobby is wilderness survival, and defeating bears with my bare hands is part of my hobby."

Duanmu Huai replied casually.

"Is this some kind of martial arts training?"

"It's almost the same if you look at it like this."

"…………"

For a moment, the conversation was interrupted, and the two just stared silently at the crackling and burning firewood in the fireplace. I don't know how long it took before Sakurajima Mai spoke.

"...Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome."

Duanmuhuai stood up and stretched.

"I will repay you."

"Do you want to pledge yourself to me?"

"I don't think Xiao Ai is the kind of person who takes advantage of others."

Mai Sakurajima looked at Duanmu Huai with a smile on her face, but the courage contained in it would have made ordinary people retreat.

Unfortunately, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about such a trivial matter.

"I've obviously saved your life, but you're not even willing to agree to such a thing. It seems that the repayment you mentioned is just words."

"I'll pay you back."

"The real reward is to give the other person what they want in return."

"The favorability level will increase if you don't repay the favor at this time."

"I think it's better to make it clear."

Duanmuhuai added a piece of firewood to the fireplace.

"After all, in the manga, didn't Ryoko fall in love with the protagonist under similar circumstances?"

"But the protagonist didn't say anything like that at that time."

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes at Duanmu Huai.

"The protagonist who says such things will not be popular with girls at all."

"Maybe it's like that in the comics."

Duanmu Huai stirred the firewood in the fireplace to make the fire more intense, and said at the same time.

"But in reality that's not necessarily the case."

"After all, reality is different from comics, but the person who just saved you turns around and asks you to commit yourself to him, which is quite embarrassing."

"That's someone else, I'm not someone else."

Duanmuhuai turned around and stared at Mai Sakurajima. Her cheeks were a little red, not sure if it was because of the flames in the fireplace.

"Why are you not someone else?"

"We have had a KISS relationship many times. Ordinary friends wouldn't do this kind of thing."

"That's..."

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai was speechless for a moment.

"And you don't hate it either."

"…………"

"After all, I know that your attitude has been very positive the past few times. Every time you take the initiative to put your tongue..." However, before Duanmu Huai could finish speaking, Sakurajima Mai stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. , at this moment, she stared at Duanmu Huai angrily, with a look of displeasure on her face.

"Don't say any more."

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, while Mai Sakurajima sat next to her, turning her head to look out the window at the dark night. After a moment, she sighed.

"I am also an ordinary girl, and I also want to fall in love."

"Um."

"But I never thought about falling in love with a girl."

"Just think of me as a boy."

"That would be a little difficult."

Mai Sakurajima looked at Duanmuhuai again.

"I know there are people who like that, but you don't look like that."

"Yeah?"

"Well, generally speaking, girls with that kind of preference would dress themselves up like boys? But I think you still have a very girly look, little love."

"This shows that there are many wonders in the world, and everything cannot be generalized."

"But you should be dating a girl."

"It seems wrong to say they are dating, but they do have a similar relationship."

Duanmu Huai didn't lie. As for the target...well, it was Kurokawa Akane.

Although after that, Duanmu Huai erased Kurokawa Akane's curse, so logically speaking, she should be completely fine. But perhaps what happened before gave Kurokawa Akane too much stimulation, which turned on a new switch. Now Kurokawa Akane will face a strange situation, that is, after acting, she will be very emotional, and if it accumulates too much, she will become trance-like.

Therefore, Kurokawa Akane hopes that Duanmuhuai will help her vent her anger. Once her anger is vented, Kurokawa Akane will enter a state similar to "Sage Time". At this time, she will not only be calmer than usual, but also The character's perception and acting skills will also be improved to a higher level.

How to put it... Duanmu Huai couldn't explain this, he could only say that there are all kinds of wonders in the world.

By the way, Duanmu Huai didn't suffer anyway. Although he didn't have the tools to commit the crime, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to watch a beauty like Kurokawa Akane being at his mercy like a docile lamb.

Having said that, Kurokawa Akane is not without some strange things. For example, in this regard, she has no sense of ethics. On the contrary, Mai Sakurajima can be said to have a normal outlook on life.

But what Kurokawa Akane said...

Thinking of the time she grabbed him and said to himself with a smile, "As long as I follow you, I'm willing to go anywhere," Duanmu Huai reflexively felt a little pain in his back.

Don't know what the reason is.

In short, he can be sure that at least Kurokawa Akane is far from being as well-behaved and honest as he seems.

"You're obviously dating someone, but you still show your affection to other girls. Isn't this just a show of love?"

"What's wrong with being a playboy? Which world stipulates that you can only fall in love with one person?"

"law."

"The law regulates morality and social order, not people's hearts. Besides, there are quite a few cases of cheating or cheating."

"…………"

Facing Duanmuhuai's confident answer, Sakurajima Mai was speechless.

"Then why me?"

"Because you are very beautiful. It is normal to like to be close to beautiful girls."

"Should I feel a sense of crisis now?"

"Don't worry, I'm still a gentleman. I won't force you unless you want to."

"That's hard to say. After all, didn't you take away my first kiss?"

Mai Sakurajima was referring to what Duanmu Huai did to her in the toilet when she came to report on the set of "Jin Tian".

"Were you unwilling then?"

"…………"

However, Duanmuhuai just asked a question, causing Sakurajima Mai to fall into silence.

"So you see, if you don't object, you are willing. It's such a simple truth."

"You are talking like those old men. If Xiao Ai, you are a man, you must be a scumbag and not run away."

"Being a scumbag is better than being a tortoise. At least the former gets real meat. The latter can get nothing but a word of Asasi? He is just a piece of trash that has been eaten clean and kicked aside."

Duanmu Huai scoffed at this. He was accustomed to offense rather than defense, and tended to take the initiative in everything. Therefore, for Duanmu Huai, the Asasi turtle man is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable. The latter, at best, is silently shining behind the scenes, but at worst, he is self-righteous and feels that his gentleness and considerateness will surely move the other person.

But in Duanmuhuai's view, once the initiative is handed over to others, he has already lost.

"So, you will confess your love whenever you see a beautiful girl?"

"That's not true, but if you are interested, you will express your thoughts."

"That would destroy the relationship we've had."

"I like a saying that says, 'Be the first to say ugly things.' Anyway, they all have ulterior motives. It's better to admit it openly than to make the other party feel betrayed in the end."

Duanmu Huai has always done this, especially when negotiating with others, he will first explain his thoughts and actions, so that it will be much easier when Duanmu Huai wants to take action.

After all, I've already said something ugly before. If you don't take it seriously, that's your own problem.

Not mine.

"…………"

Sakurajima Mai was silent for a moment, then sat next to Duanmu Huai.

"It's still very cold in the mountains despite the snowstorm."

she spoke.

"Let's sleep together tonight."
