When the staff saw Chu Luo leaving, he quickly chased after her.

“Miss Chu, where are you going?”

Chu Luo didn’t answer him. She exuded a cold aura as she took out her phone and dialed a number.

The staff was stunned by the cold air emanating from her. Seeing that she was making a call, he just followed her and didn’t ask anything further.

The call went through quickly. At the same time, a unique cold and magnetic voice sounded. “Luoluo.”

“Where are you?” Chu Luo’s voice was filled with displeasure. “Did you order this?”

Li Yan: “I’m in the office on the top floor. You can take elevator 8 up.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she hung up the phone and strode towards the elevator.

“Miss Chu,” the staff quickly called out to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo stopped and turned to the staff. “Don’t follow me.”

The staff stopped in his tracks and quickly asked, “Miss Chu, where are you going?”

“I’m settling scores with someone.” Chu Luo’s tone was threatening. “You better not follow me.”

After saying that, she turned and continued walking towards the elevator.

The staff froze in place. As he looked at the departing figure, he patted his chest and muttered with fear, “This girl’s aura is so strong. I was nearly scared to death.”

After saying that, he remembered that the participants could not leave halfway. He let out a low cry and hurriedly chased after her.

However, before he could chase after her to the corridor, his phone rang.

After he picked up the call, his expression changed instantly. He turned around and walked back with a “Damn” expression.

Chu Luo took elevator 8 and went straight to the top floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw the tall figure waiting for her there.

Chu Luo strode out and stood in front of him. She looked up at him and asked angrily, “Who asked you to make the game enter a dormant state?”

Li Yan looked down at her eyes, which had become even more sparkling from anger. He raised his hand to tap the corners of her eyes and said coldly, “Your dark eye circles are about to come out.”

“You’re lying!” Chu Luo pulled a long face. “Even if my dark circles come out, it has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and get someone to change this dormant state.”

“No.” Li Yan turned around and strode towards the office.

Chu Luo was so furious that she quickly chased after him and waved her hand.

Li Yan guessed what she would do. He shifted his body and quickly dodged the slap. At the same time, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her quickly into the nearby office.

When Chu Luo was pressed against the back of the door, she struggled angrily.

Li Yan used his body to pin her down and his hands to restrain her arms.

Chu Luo was held tightly by him and couldn’t move at all.

She wanted to kick him.

The next second, her legs were forced to clamp together.

“Let go of me, you big baddie!”

“Little thing, stop moving.”

Li Yan’s anger rose. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “If you move again, I’ll kiss you.”

When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her eyes turned red. “How dare you!”

Seeing her reaction, Li Yan immediately softened his tone. “I just want you to rest for a few hours.”

“I’m competing. Time is so important. How can I rest?” Chu Luo was so angry that she wanted to bite him to death.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan brought his neck to her mouth. “If you’re angry, bite me for now. Hm…”

Chu Luo didn’t hesitate at all and bit down.

As he felt the pain on his neck, the corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up. He eased his grip on her a little and raised his hand to stroke her back comfortingly.

He said in a low voice, “A person’s brain will automatically enter a dormant state after midnight. If one forcefully operated it, the efficiency will drop to almost zero.

“You might as well rest for a few hours. Maybe after you’ve rested, your team would quickly come up with a solution to the problem.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she subconsciously loosened her bite.

There was a faint metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

Li Yan felt her warm lips on his skin and his throat tightened.

The hand on her waist couldn’t help but reach under her clothes and rub against the smooth skin on her waist.

Chu Luo’s body trembled and she suddenly let go of his neck. With a red face, she scolded, “Big baddie, take your hand away. Otherwise, I’ll chop it off.”

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her, just enough to see the redness on her lips. He said in a hoarse voice, “Since you drank my blood, I must take something in return.”

After which, his palm deliberately moved upwards.

Chu Luo tensed up and blushed even more. She prepared to attack him.

But Li Yan stopped and said, “My chest still hurts from the slap you gave me the night before yesterday. The doctor said that I can’t take such a heavy blow anymore. Otherwise, my life will be in danger. Do you really want to kill your husband and carry the reputation of being a widow in the future?”

Chu Luo paused when she heard this.

Li Yan looked at her face and leaned his chin on her shoulder. Their cheeks were close. When she turned her face away, he tilted his head and swept his lips across her cheek.

Chu Luo’s eyes widened in exasperation. “You lecher.”

“I only did what a married couple should do. How am I a lecher?” Li Yan deliberately lowered his voice by her ear. “As long as you rest here for a few hours, you can continue with the competition. Otherwise, we’ll be stuck in a stalemate.”

Then, he added, “If you like it when I hug you like this, I’d be more than happy to continue.”

Chu Luo’s brain started to heat up because of the breath on her neck. When she heard him say that, her face turned even redder.

She thought, ‘On account of you still being my husband in name for now, I’ll let you off today.’

After thinking about it, she said with a straight face, “Let go of me quickly. I promise to rest.”

Disappointment flashed across Li Yan’s eyes, but he knew that he couldn’t force the little thing too hard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to withstand her fierceness. Hence, he let her go.

As soon as Chu Luo was released, she pushed him and quickly fled.

Li Yan took a small step back before stabilizing himself.

He turned around and saw Chu Luo sitting on the sofa.

Li Yan walked over and looked at her. “There’s a lounge in the office. It’s more comfortable to rest there.”

Chu Luo didn’t say anything but stood up.

Li Yan looked at her tense face and suddenly wanted to capture her and bully her again.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

He led her to the lounge.

The lounge was behind the desk. Chu Luo followed him in. Li Yan took out a new set of toiletries for her and pointed to the bed. “I got someone to prepare your pajamas.”

Chu Luo didn’t expect him to even help her prepare this. She glanced at him with a complicated gaze, took her toiletries, and walked towards the washroom.

When she came out after washing up, Li Yan had already left the lounge.

Chu Luo muttered, “At least you know what’s good for you.”

Then, she walked over, took her pajamas, and changed into them before lying on the bed.

Chu Luo woke up after sleeping for three hours. She walked out of the lounge and immediately saw Li Yan, who was resting on the sofa.

Li Yan was at least 1.85 meters tall, and the sofa was obviously a little uncomfortable for him.

One of his feet was on the ground, and the other was curled up on the sofa.

Chu Luo stood there and looked at him for a while.

The sleeping Li Yan no longer had his usual aggression. He was so handsome that she couldn’t tear her eyes away from him.

Chu Luo snorted at him and turned to leave.

As soon as the door closed, the sleeping man opened his eyes. If one looked closely, one could still see the smirk on his face.

“What a tsundere little thing.”

…

When Chu Luo returned to the competition room, the four boys were all sitting or lying on the sofa, but none of them had closed their eyes to rest.

The moment Chu Luo entered, they immediately sat up straight and looked at her.

Xie Minghai was the first to ask, “Junior, where did you go?”

Tang Zhiyun said, “We were all worried about you.”

“I was fine. Don’t worry,” Chu Luo said as she walked to the game console.

The boys stood up and walked over.

The staff sitting at the side looked at Chu Luo with a complicated gaze. His heart was churning as he thought, ‘Who exactly is Miss Chu? To think that the senior secretary up there personally called!’

Chu Luo sat in the chair and used the mouse to tap on the frozen game interface a few times. Then, the game character moved.

“Eh? We’re actually out of the dormant state!”

The boys were delighted. They had no idea why the state had been removed in advance. They quickly sat back down.

The staff sitting at the back let out a “Damn” in his heart.

“Junior, what do you think these ten things are for?”

“They really look like materials for an Interstellar Spacecraft, but what’s with the key?”

“Is there something we need to look for in light-years away?”

After they finished speaking, they subconsciously looked at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “Let’s split up and look for it.”

“That’s all we can do.”

The five of them controlled their game characters and split up.

Ten minutes later, Yu Lei was the first to cuss. “F*ck! I met a boss. Boss sent me a PK challenge!”

The others quickly turned to look.

“This boss isn’t too difficult to deal with. You just have to be careful.”

Yu Lei responded with an “Mm” and went all out to fight the boss.

The others retracted their gazes and continued searching.

Then, everyone encountered a boss.

The bosses weren’t strong, but there was no end to them. One after another, they appeared.

Not only were the people killing the bosses irritated, but even the audience was anxious for them.

“‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ is too unlucky. The bosses keep appearing. Can they walk out of here?”

“They obviously can’t leave. Even if they have the ability to kill all the bosses, there’s no time. I’ll light a candle for this team now.”

“I suddenly realized that the teams that were eliminated were considered lucky. At least they weren’t destroyed like this.”
