Chapter 496: Chapter 497: Then Admit It

When Chu You and Bao’er arrived at the underground garage, Zhao Feiyan, who had been deep in thought, immediately sobered up. Upon seeing the lavish off-road vehicle driving away, she instantly started her car to follow.

Upon reaching the property exit checkpoint, Chu You handed the toll collector 400 Soft Sister Coins, adding, "This money is yours. Please just delay the car behind me for a minute."

"Ah? Uh, okay, okay, no problem." The happy middle-aged collector pocketed the tip. His task was simple: stall the car behind for just a minute.

"Who was that guy?" Bao’er curiously inquired as the car drove off again.

"Kids shouldn’t worry about that." Thanks to Chu You’s adept driving skills, he successfully eluded Zhao Feiyan’s pursuing car with the additional minute of delay.

If Zhao Feiyan discovered that he was her neighbor... Well, that would be quite interesting in the future.

About an hour later, they reached the villa, parked the car in the garage, and entered the house.

It was already past ten o’clock, and Bao’er began to feel tired.

"Young Master Chu, you’re back. Was your evening fun, Bao’er?" Zhou Zhijun, who had not yet gone to sleep, warmly greeted them, bringing a pair of slippers for Chu You.

"Yes, we even watched a movie," Bao’er responded obediently, removing her shoes as she spoke.

"Hehe, then you must have had a great time." She then turned to Chu You, "Young Master Chu, I’ve left supper in the warming box. Feel free to help yourself if you’re hungry."

"Mhm. You’ve worked hard, now go rest early."

Zhou Zhijun then retreated to her room, while Chu You and Bao’er headed upstairs.

"Bao’er, wash up and go to bed."

"Alright, I know."

Chu You then entered his room and, after some thought, decided not to lock his door. After freshening up and lighting a cigarette, he gazed at Zhao Feiyan’s dark room, thinking of tomorrow’s matters rather than the game.

After a while of scanning his computer, Chu You heard the sound of a car approaching. He quickly rose and saw Zhao Feiyan driving a black Mercedes off-road vehicle into the villa opposite.

With a faint smile, Chu You then stepped into the Game Pod and logged into the game.

The Yan Kingdom’s Announcement: Chunight Ghost has logged on!

At the same moment, Falling Blossoms blinked with a twinkle in his eyes, frowned slightly, and then logged out to call Zhao Feiyan.

"Hello, Uncle," Zhao Feiyan sounding completely worn out.

"Feifei, Night Ghost just logged on."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Feiyan suddenly perked up. There were things she could not say in reality, but in the game, that was a different matter. Furthermore, by now, she had an idea of his usual game schedule.

"Okay, I got it. I’ll log on in a bit," Zhao Feiyan promptly responded.

This definitely was suspicious! This girl, Feifei, surely had fallen for Night Ghost! Falling Blossoms had a hunch that Zhao Feiyan was waiting for Night Ghost to log on and felt it was necessary to notify her when he did.

"Feifei, is there something between you and Night Ghost? You seemed off today!"

"Don’t think too much, Uncle. Oh, do you still need my help with the escort mission?"

"Absolutely, yeah, okay, gotta go, there’s something I need to take care of in the game. See you in-game."

After they hung up, Zhao Feiyan took a deep breath, visited the washroom, and after freshening up, logged into the game.

Upon opening her friends list, she immediately noticed Night Ghost on display— his status icon was lit, indicating he was indeed online.

System: Your friend Zhao Feiyan logged on.

Glancing at the message, Chu You started heading towards the Prisoner of War Camp.

"Night Ghost, what a coincidence!" Zhao Feiyan sent a voice message to Chu You, her words laden with hidden implications.

"What’s up?"

"It won’t be fun anymore if things continue like this, don’t you understand?"

"Hehe... do you realize that by doing this, you’re putting yourself in danger?"

"So, you’re finally admitting it." A weight was finally lifted from Zhao Feiyan’s heart. She wasn’t overly concerned about the looming threat Chu You had warned her of.

"As long as it’s not too late, you look beautiful today."

"It feels different coming from you; where are you now?"

"I am somewhere you cannot reach, on a mission."

"Is that where you’re leveling up?"

"Indeed."

"Can we meet again in-game?" For some reason, Zhao Feiyan felt more at ease.

"Not in the game, I’m afraid. I need to complete this time-limited mission." Just as Chu You was saying this, he seemed to sense something, and glanced at the sky behind him. Flying towards him was a silhouette, none other than Jin Chuiduo’s bodyguard captain, Long Yue’er.

"Greetings, Commander. The Supreme Commander has instructed me to ensure your safety upon learning of your arrival," Long Yue’er bowed and said. Her tone turned sweet after her formal greeting.

"Excellent, stay close, eat and drink well. Here are 200 Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Stones, take them," Chu You said, as he handed over the spirit stones in a transaction.

System: Long Yue’er’s favorability towards you has increased. Chu You knew well that favourability is crucial.

"Hehe, I’ll gladly accept then. Thank you, Commander," With that, the two flew towards the newly built Prisoner of War Camp.

"Ah, Chu You, I’m really curious. Aren’t you even a bit scared now that I know your real identity?" Zhao Feiyan honestly wondered about this. Chu You’s response was extremely composed, as though he had nothing to fear. What was he relying on?

"No, not scared. The time for hiding in the shadows is over!" He spoke lightly, expressing his self-realization.

"Err, are you planning to reveal your real identity to the public?" Zhao Feiyan was taken aback.

"You’re overthinking. I just felt that you should or perhaps you deserved to know my true identity; it’s as simple as that." Now that things had come to this, Chu You didn’t want to continue restraining his feelings for Zhao Feiyan any longer. Either they could become good friends, or it was all for naught.

You’re getting closer to me as you enter the dark tunnel, just as the sunlight behind you moves further away...

"So you aren’t scared that I might reveal your secret?"

"I don’t think you would do that. If you did, I would be really saddened." The tone of Chu You’s response was peculiar, giving Zhao Feiyan a chill, but at the same time, a sweet feeling was starting to rise within her.

Zhao Feiyan realized from this moment on, she had truly entered Chu You’s inner circle.

"I won’t let you down, nor will I disappoint you. Chu You, calling you by your real name in the game feels great."

At that moment, a character appeared beside Zhao Feiyan. Falling Blossoms, with a pleasing expression, said, "Niece, help us out and get our guild’s trade mission done. We’re already a day behind."

"Hold on!" Rarely, Zhao Feiyan gave a playful smile that left Falling Blossoms momentarily stunned.
