As night falls, it's a new beginning for Nelson, the fifteenth-floor major town of Ayn Grant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Those players who have leveled up for a day take the items they have gained from leveling up to the trading area to sell, while those who are adventurous also start their own night owl life after a day's sleep.

When these players wake up, they often come back to the trading area to see if they have any items they like or like-minded teammates.

In Ayn Grant, there is a setting that kills monsters at night to gain about 20% more experience than during the day, and the corresponding monster ability will also be slightly improved.

The high reward under the high risk makes the originally adventurous night owl sub-gamer choose the nightlife.

Day and night, except for the early morning, the Nielsen trading area is in a very busy stage.

Changing out of her guild uniform and wearing an ordinary gray cloak to hide her face, Asuna came to the door of Chen Yu's grocery store.

Do you want to disturb him......

Asuna hesitated.

Facing Chen Yu, she always felt like an ignorant little girl, beside him, except for the most basic things, everything else had to rely on him to complete.

Asuna, who learned this, worked hard after Chen Yu left the strategy group, with the mentality that she would do well even if he was not around, until not long ago, after bringing the strategy group to the thirty-first level without injury, she gradually gained self-confidence.

But just when she was confident that she could make him agree with her, the previous incident occurred, Asuna didn't know what to do all night, and had to find Chen Yu at Lin Qi's suggestion.

In the case of Chen Yu, she simply and directly solved the things that had plagued her all night, and at that time, Asuna realized that the gap between her and him was really far away.

Now, let her comfort him or something, Asuna doubts if she can do it.

Just when Asuna was hesitating whether to disturb Chen Yu, she was suddenly touched on the shoulder.

"Yikes!!"

With a cry of surprise, she hurried back to the other side.

When she saw the person who appeared behind her unconsciously, her face couldn't hide her surprise.

"Chen Yu ......"

"Asuna, why are you here at this time?"

Chen Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"This ...... This ......"

Asuna wanted to tell the truth, but she didn't know how to speak.

Find a reason to prevaricate in the past, she doesn't want to deceive Chen Yu.

Chen Yu seemed to see through what Asuna was thinking, and smiled slightly.

"Maybe it's because of what happened during the day that I couldn't sleep?"

"Uh-huh......"

Hearing that Chen Yu didn't ask her reason for coming, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll take you to a good place to relax, do you want to go?"

"Hmmm......"

Asuna, who was thinking about what to do, subconsciously replied.

"Let's go, then."

Hearing this, Asuna found that her hand was held by Chen Yu.

His hands are so cold......

Even though it was a game and the system simulated the feeling, Asuna still felt the coldness coming from the other party's palm.

He's pretending to be hiding again......

At this moment, Asuna suddenly calmed down, although she didn't understand how Chen Yu found her, but now Chen Yu was in a very unstable state as Lin Qi said.

Still don't you want people to see the other side of yourself......

Asuna didn't resist, and was dragged through the Nelson portal by Chen Yu to a quiet neighborhood.

After arriving at the block, Asuna took the transfer crystal handed by Chen Yu, and after her vision was covered by white light, when she opened her eyes again, she saw a picture that seemed to only appear in a dream.

"This is ......"

Looking at the sparkling lake in front of her, you can faintly hear the sound of insects chirping around, and what surprised Asuna the most was that in the center of the lake, there was a wooden hut that seemed to stand on the lake.

"My secret base."

"Secret base?"

"Well, it took me a lot of effort to get this place."

Although the environment in front of him was beautiful, Chen Yu couldn't be happy in his heart.

This place is precisely related to Asuna next to her, this place is the cottage where she and Kirito were on vacation in the original work, but the difference is that the hut built on the edge of the lake was somehow moved to the lake by Chen Yu.

He had brought Asuna here just to distract her.

In Nelson, when Asuna came to the grocery store, Chen Yu subconsciously glanced at the small map formed by the group live broadcast in the lower left corner, and found that someone was close to his grocery store at this time.

When he saw this player who couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Yu roughly determined in his heart that the other party's identity was someone he knew.

You know, since the opening of his grocery store, there has never been a time when the store was opened at night, and if it is a player who is not familiar with him, he will definitely not come to him during this time period.

Magnified slightly, through the figure of the other party, Chen Yu roughly guessed who the other party was.

Asuna ......

No matter what she was doing to herself at this time, she must not be allowed to see anything.

The whole person is a contradictory Chen Yu, who is demanding the understanding of others while not wanting people to see his cowardly side.

In order to divert the other party's attention, Chen Yu brought her here.

This is the place that he spent a lot of effort to find and get.

The reason why he found this place in the first place was that he still wanted to invite Asuna, Lin Qi, and Kirito to come here to play if he had the opportunity in the future.

For this reason, the wooden houses in the lake have been converted into double-storey ones, and for this double-storey wooden house, he spent a whole month doing a series of tasks, and the double-story wooden house is the final reward item for this chain of tasks.

"Come, take you to the hut in the lake."

Continuing to pull Asuna, Chen Yu came to the other side of the lake.

When she arrived, Asuna noticed that there was a wooden bridge between the lake and the lake, which could only be passed by one person at a time.

"Don't fall off."

Letting go of Asuna's hand, Chen Yu stepped onto the wooden bridge and walked forward, and soon, under Asuna's attention, Chen Yu arrived at the wooden house in the lake.

Chen Yu, who arrived at the wooden house, beckoned to Asuna.

When Asuna arrived at the wooden house, she found that on the other side of the wooden house, Chen Yu was sitting on the wooden board looking at the lake in a daze.

When she came to Chen Yu's side, Asuna found that Chen Yu had taken off her shoes and her feet were soaked in water.

"Asuna, what's the surroundings?"

“......”

"It's beautiful......

Experiencing this almost complete isolation for the first time in contrast to the bustling town life created a special emotion in Asuna's heart.

"You want to try it too?"

"Huh??"

Looking back at Asuna's puzzled look, Chen Yu smiled.

"Soak your feet in water, of course."

“......”

"Don't worry, there are no monsters in this lake."

"And it's a rare opportunity, there is an old man who will fish around here during the day, and the last time he saw me like this, I was reprimanded by him."

“......”

Soak your feet in other people's fishing places, and don't be trained.

For some reason, Asuna, who felt very excited, saw Chen Yu's feet gliding on the water like a child, she took off her shoes and joined in.

Feeling the coldness of her feet calmed Asuna's chaotic thoughts.

"How does it feel?"

"Uh-huh???"

"Forget about what's happening around you and immerse yourself in the peace and tranquility of your surroundings, without thinking about how to live, not guessing what others think, and not guessing how you will affect others."

Asuna didn't understand why Chen Yu would say such a thing at first, but the latter sentence made her understand a little why Chen Yu was such a person.

If he had thought about everything like this, then he must have been very depressed inside......

"Actually, Asuna, you're doing well now, you don't have to force yourself to be better."

"Asuna is only 16 years old this year, less than 16 years old to be exact."

"Hmmm......"

I don't know why Chen Yu asked like this, Asuna nodded.

"16 years old...... Asuna, do you want to hear what kind of person I am when I'm 16? ”

"-Yes!"

The reason why Chen Yu became a contradictory existence in her eyes must have a great connection with what happened to him. Now that Chen Yu took the initiative to share these things with her, how could Asuna refuse. (To be continued.) )
