Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Chapter 286: Chapter 246: Follow Me **_2

If the drug was only in the drinks, only those who drank beer would fall unconscious. But before Wen Nan closed his eyes, he confirmed that everyone in the room had collapsed.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that those who didn’t drink were accomplices in this incident, pretending to sleep. However, there were too many of such people. Could so many people conspire together to frame this small group of drinkers?

Even if that’s the case, then why go to so much trouble, drug them, and then do nothing, just leaving two people in a hotel room and ignoring them?

It doesn’t make sense.

It’s probably not the alcohol.

It seems more like some unknown remote skill, or... the birthday cake had a problem.

The candles on that cake contained a special incense that, once it reached a certain concentration, affected everyone in the private room.

Stepping on the spotless white tiles, Wen Nan walked to the door, looking at the tightly closed white door.

Now this room is even whiter than his previous room in Taoyuan hospital, without a speck of color...

At this thought, Wen Nan raised his hand and placed it on the white doorknob, familiar coldness emanating from his palm.

"...Erin?" Wen Nan asked softly.

The security chain by the lock rattled up, wrapping around Wen Nan’s wrist, as if responding to him.

"What’s up brother, is there someone outside?" Zhao Wanting came over, proactively hugged Wen Nan’s waist, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked at the doorknob held by Wen Nan.

Wen Nan shook his head and glanced at the time.

It was already past eight-thirty in the morning.

Turning around and pushing Zhao Wanting off his shoulder, Wen Nan said, "You better go back to school first, it’s not safe here."

But Zhao Wanting was reluctant to leave, "I’m already here, wouldn’t it be a waste not to do something?"

As she spoke, she looked around the impeccably white room, "This place seems pretty nice, brother, don’t you want to...?"

Wen Nan had a mission, and for him, such matters took three hours at a minimum; he didn’t have the time now.

He didn’t have a strange habit of doing such things in Guan Ailin’s body.

Moreover...

"In this situation, you still have the mood for that sort of thing?"

Wen Nan appraised Zhao Wanting once more, amazed that a girl with her qualities, yet so lacking in safety awareness and eager to give herself away, could live peacefully until now?

Zhao Wanting, catching the doubt in Wen Nan’s eyes, snorted, "Brother doesn’t think I’m such a cheap and clingy person with everyone, right?"

As she spoke, she hugged Wen Nan’s waist again, lightly tracing his abs through the thin fabric of his shirt with her finger, "I only act like this with you, because I like you, I’d be willing."

Seeing Wen Nan not immediately pushing her away this time, Zhao Wanting pressed on, intentionally brushing her lips over the skin of his neck, and in a deliberately soft voice she whispered, "Be with me*, brother."

Wen Nan glanced at the floating system countdown before him, then at the immaculate white door, finally taking a deep breath and replying, "Not now."

Always prone to imagining, Zhao Wanting, upon hearing this response, had a hopeful glint appear in her eyes, "Brother, are you saying there is a chance next time? Then I’ll take it as you agree!"

She eagerly pressed further, while Wen Nan had already opened the door, gently pushing her out of the room, "We’ll talk about things later."

As Zhao Wanting celebrated their newfound status in her excitement, she realized the door had closed in her face and shouted back inside:

"After sleeping all night, my makeup is ruined, how can I see anyone like this!

"Brother, open the door! With this greasy face and these panda eyes, I’m not going out. It’s so embarrassing!"

In the middle of shouting, the door opened again, and Wen Nan stood at the entrance, gesturing to the bathroom next to him, "Touch up and leave quickly, I still have things to do, I’m in a hurry."

Zhao Wanting snorted softly, slowly walked to the bathroom, and as she reached the mirror, a foldable vanity mirror popped out, even equipped with a light ring around it.

Unable to resist, Zhao Wanting gazed around the uniquely decorated room, thinking, wouldn’t it be great to be with brother here.

The thought passed fleetingly, and she quickly took out makeup remover wipes, a powder compact, eye shadow, and lipstick from her bag, humming a tune while she started touching up.

Wen Nan waited, leaning by the side, for her to leave so he could talk with Guan Ailin about last night’s events in the private room. Just then, a message popped up on his phone—

[Minmin: I am at the main entrance of Plum Garden.]

Hmm?

Who’s Minmin?

It seemed like an unfamiliar character.

Wen Nan scrolled up the message thread.

This phone now was Zhao Wanting’s gift, but the number for "Minmin" was stored on Wen Nan’s SIM, so he still retained their message history in the chip.

Above the latest message was the agreement he had made with this person—

[Nian: For this big assignment, we are in a group. Minmin, nice to work with you~]

[Minmin: Hmm.]

[Nian: Minmin, did you see the map the teacher assigned, we’re in charge of Plum Garden]

[Minmin: Hmm.]

[Nian: There’s a bio class tomorrow, how about we meet at the Plum Garden entrance on the day after, at eight-thirty in the morning?]

[Minmin: Hmm.]

The next message was the one recently sent about already being at the gate, with the timestamp showing 8:43.

Yet now, Wen Nan was still in some hotel room, location unknown.

Wen Nan walked to the bathroom door and looked at the girl humming a tune inside, "Five more minutes."

Zhao Wanting glanced at Wen Nan, still holding an eyeliner pen, squinting at the mirror as she drew, "Don’t rush, brother; my eyeliner will be crooked."

Fifteen minutes later, after Wen Nan repeatedly urged her, Zhao Wanting finally packed her various makeup items into her sling bag and reluctantly allowed Wen Nan to push her into the elevator hall.

Once she left, Wen Nan returned to the room, noting the time showed it was already past nine, with no leisure to discuss in detail. Wen Nan touched the icy white wall, "Erin, come back to school with me."

In the room, the outer layer of wall peeled away like a film, shrinking in Wen Nan’s presence, ultimately transforming into a female form curled on the floor.

The hotel room reverted to an ordinary hotel suite from twenty years ago, slightly shabby, with peeling walls in corners and some mold spots on the ceiling, carrying a damp and musty odor.

Guan Ailin propped herself up, retrieving a white dress from somewhere, casually slipped it on in front of Wen Nan, kicked on some high heels, then took Wen Nan’s hand and led him out.

As they waited for the elevator, Wen Nan glanced at her proud chest and round hips, asking, "Are you going out without underwear?"

Guan Ailin smiled at him, "It’s convenient this way. It can save a lot of trouble when entering the refresh point next time."

Wen Nan originally thought about mentioning they could take the upper passage to the refresh point, but ultimately said nothing, just nodding in agreement.

The hotel was not far from T University, about a ten-minute walking distance.

On the way, Wen Nan asked, "Last night, were you affected in the private room?"

Guan Ailin shook her head, "I was affected too, consciousness was fuzzy, just not as deeply as you guys."

It seems that the hypnotic agent also had effects on "buildings," albeit minimal ones.

Wen Nan asked again, "Then who was the person who entered the private room later, did you see? How did we get to the hotel?"

"It was the person who delivered the hidden card last time," Guan Ailin recalled, "It seemed like that person led us to the hotel. I only remember being carried on their shoulder, bouncing along the way to the hotel, then they made me sniff something that woke me completely, told me to transform back into a structure and protect your safety. Then I stayed guarding you until the morning when you and your little girlfriend woke up."

Wen Nan instinctively corrected, "She’s not my little girlfriend."

Guan Ailin smiled and didn’t mind.

While talking, the two had already passed through the main gate’s arch, completing a welcoming path to the entrance of Plum Garden.

From afar, they saw a girl, leaning solitary against a tree, head bowed, motionless like a sculpture.

Seeing her side profile clearly, Wen Nan momentarily froze.
