Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 46: Chapter 49 Co-living Life_1 Chapter 46: Chapter 49 Co-living Life_1 By the time Lin Xun and Lu Caiyi arrived at the courtyard house in the suburbs, it was already midnight.

Looking at the courtyard and house that seemed identical to the previous night, down to the children’s graffiti and old cement cracks on the walls, Lin Xun couldn’t help but be amazed by the skill of the logistics team.

The house within the courtyard was an old rundown one-bedroom apartment.

Lin Xun was set to cohabitate here with Lu Caiyi for some time, until the New World organization contacted him.

During this period, he was also to carry out his female superior’s task of recruiting Lu Caiyi.

Li Xingyue only cared about the results, as for how to poach talents from the other side, Lin had to improvise.

As expected, earning a monthly salary of a hundred thousand wasn’t that easy.

He not only had to face the dangerous villainous organization but also had to play mind games with the ladies in his organization.

Walking into the house with Lu Caiyi and turning on the lights, they found the interior to be even more outdated than his rental house, with old decorations and furniture.

It was as humble as those fifty-yuan-per-night budget hotels.

At this time, Lu Caiyi had changed into a set of white short sleeved shirt and skirt. Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, resembling a fresh graduate and an innocent college student, at that, she was a campus belle caliber.

Now, the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room, alone in a room.

They had previously been prospective dates on a blind dating show, but now they had an additional relationship – colleagues.

The atmosphere unconsciously began to become a bit ambiguous.

“Little White, there’s something I’ve always been curious about.”

‘Little White’ was Lu Caiyi’s code name for this mission.

Lu Caiyi blinked widely, her expression somewhat dazed, “Ask away.”

“Technically, with your features, you shouldn’t have had to resort to blind dates, right? How did we happen to become male and female guests?”

Lu Caiyi, with her beautiful face, top grade figure, and a good family background, should have never had to resort to blind dates to find a boyfriend. It was something Lin Xun couldn’t comprehend.

The girl in white was somewhat shy, but she replied softly, “When I was studying at the Public Security College, my parents didn’t let me date. As soon as I graduated and started working, they wanted me to find a boyfriend, so they arranged for me to go on blind dates.”

“I avoided them many times, but later on, it became harder to refuse. So, I decided to just meet them and get it over with. I had even prepared a script for declining them, but…”

Lu Caiyi stopped there, not saying anything further.

It was her first blind date, and she wasn’t willing at all. She had thought about how to reject her suitors. However, Lin Xun had stood her up causing her to wait for an hour.

Even though Lin Xun standing her up gave her a sense of relief, she had been rejected before she even saw him. This hurt her self-esteem slightly.

Lin Xun was surprised, as his attention was on…Public Security College.

He thought that Lu Caiyi had a position in the Public Security Bureau because of the Armed Group. He didn’t expect this delicately beautiful girl next to him to be a real policewoman.

What was the task that the black silk goddess gave him again?.. He was supposed to win over a female policewoman? He couldn’t help but feel a thrill.

No, why is he suddenly reminded of the video titled, “The Various Uses of Handcuffs by Female Investigators.AVI” from his learning material?

Definitely, his readers must be imagining things, it’s not his fault.

Seeing Lin Xun’s burning gaze on her, the girl in white shyly dropped her gaze.

She completely understood the importance of this task. Although the captain gave her the task of poaching him, her main, most important, and top priority was to protect Lin Xun’s safety.

‘New World”s people were lurking in the dark and could come to meet the ‘engineer’ at any time.

If Lin Xun was exposed, she would have to protect him no matter what.

But, but why was he still staring at her face.

“I…I’m going to take a bath first.”

The petite woman mind was chaotic, her face flush. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom, locked the door and leaned against it, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Lin Xun, who was sitting on the sofa, watched as Lu Caiyi fled like a startled doe.

Regaining his senses, he touched his chin and sighed, “How did Comrade Xiaoxi do it? This transformation skill is truly amazing. I watched for a long time without seeing through it.”

For a time, he was reminded of the prosthetic masks worn by secret agents in movies. With a simple makeover, you could completely change your appearance.

The rustling sound of water came from the bathroom, and a layer of mist was forming on the frosted glass of the bathroom door. Through the mist, a vaguely discernible charming silhouette could be seen.

“Stop it, enchantress, I won’t let you break my concentration.”

Lin Xun reined in his wandering thoughts.

He had more important things to do.

He diverted his gaze, pulled out his phone, and began his writing task.

There was still half of his task of 4000 words for the day left. The job was really tough…
After who knows how long, Lin Xun, entirely focused on his writing task, suddenly felt a warm breath brush against the back of his neck.

He turned his head to look and saw the girl in white right behind him. Her pretty face, flushed from the recent bath, droplets of water still on her hair, made her look like a freshly bloomed lotus straight out of the water.

The girl asked in a shy whisper:

Lin Xun was once again taken aback. He knew from the black silk goddess that Lu Caiyi wanted to poach him to the Armed Group.

But he didn’t expect this girl to toss out a ‘nuclear bomb’.

Were all female law enforcement officers this decisive and straightforward? Shouldn’t she play a 3 for the first move?

Who throws out a ‘nuclear bomb’ the moment they start?

Lin Xun was dazed by the metaphorical ‘nuclear bomb’.

He didn’t know whether he should agree first or take a bath before agreeing.

It took a lot of effort for Lin Xun to refuse gently: “Well… Little White.”

“Do you think we need to progress step by step, gradually deepen our feelings? Even though we were prospective dates before, isn’t it a bit sudden now…”

As far as the task of recruiting Lu Caiyi to the Intelligence Team was concerned, as long as he could recruit her, it was enough.

Lin Xun was willing to gamble but was not willing to sacrifice his body. He had his bottom line.

“I, I… didn’t mean that.”

When Lu Caiyi saw his expression, she realized that her previous statement was ambiguous. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a hole.

She covered her face with her hands, her face was as hot as a kettle, the water droplets on her hair were evaporating. She turned around and ran, right into the only bedroom in the house.

“Bam!”

The bedroom door closed tightly, and with a click, it was even locked.

Lin Xun was shocked, what just happened?

It took a while for him to realize that Lu Caiyi was probably asking who should sleep in the bedroom, as it was the only one.

Now, Lu Caiyi had already taken the only bedroom. He could just sleep on the sofa.

“Sigh…” He shook his head and sighed, then got back to his great task of writing.

After a long while, after finishing the last chapter, he clicked on publish and ended his workday!

The bedroom door quietly opened a crack, a slender hand stretched out and accurately threw a stack of blankets on the sofa.

Lin Xun looked at the blankets, gave a toothy grin, quickly washed up, turned off the lights in the living room, and climbed onto the sofa to sleep.
