In this game, Jinyun attaches great importance to these characters that he has personally developed.
Be it Bronya or Mirror Ryu.
It can be said that Jinyun really did not regard them as mere game data, but as human beings, just like himself, who could walk, talk, jump, and have emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
They are completely different from the group of white-named NPCs that he had casually wiped out. Jinyun was even willing to believe that they were real people from another world and that he had traveled through time.
However, such a thing is of course impossible.
Seeing Bronya's complexion gradually returning to normal and her sleeping face returning to peacefulness, Jinyun finally let go of his worries.
Maybe this is what it feels like to raise a child. If I have a daughter in the future, I will probably encounter this kind of thing often.
So, this game can be regarded as a way for him to adapt to his future life as a dad in advance...
Ahem, probably.
But I’m here to support my wife, not my daughter.
It’s just that my wife hasn’t grown up yet!
Jinyun stretched out his hand and carefully touched Bronya's forehead. The effect of the props was really good. The little girl's body temperature had dropped a lot.
This item really works as I expected. At this rate, I believe Bronya will be able to recover before dawn.
I glanced at the real time and it was just past five in the morning.
Jinyun didn't go to bed until after one o'clock, so he naturally felt tired at this time.
In fact, Jinyun can sleep in the game, and the manufacturer has taken this demand into consideration. This VR helmet has a sleep mode specially designed for players.
In sleep mode, the VR helmet will release special radio wave signals that can help sleep, and players can also switch to their favorite scenes according to their preferences.
You can experience the cool starry sky on a summer night, experience eagles soaring in the sky, fish swimming in the shallows, and all things competing for freedom in the frosty sky.
You can also experience the snow on Long Island and the singing of wind and birds in the Pampas.
But there is no snow on Long Island.
Jinyun doesn’t use sleep mode simply because his neck hurts after wearing the helmet all night.
After the authority level is raised, I can ask Star Network for some gold coins and rent a bigger house again.
Then you can buy a massage chair, and then you can just lie down in it and cover yourself with a small quilt. It will be so beautiful.
In short, synchronize the game time with reality first, exit and get some sleep, otherwise you will be a corpse again tomorrow.
Jinyun yawned and carefully withdrew his hand from Bronya's forehead.
But, the moment he pulled away, Bronya in the quilt grabbed his wrist almost at lightning speed.
"Ok?"
Jinyun raised his eyebrows in surprise, then lowered his voice and asked, "Bronya, are you awake?"
"..."
"Little girl? Little duck?"
"..."
no respond.
Bronya's breathing was steady, and her face was slightly pink because the fever had not yet subsided, like a plump and round peach, making one want to kiss her.
Pretending to sleep can't hide it from Jinyun's eyes, because he can open the status bar at any time to check the other party's status.
If she was sleeping, there would be a sign indicating that she was sleeping, and Bronya was in this state now, which meant that her reaction of grabbing her hand just now was instinctive, and she was not pretending to be asleep.
"Hmm, well..."
Bronya closed her eyes tightly, frowned, and even her body began to tremble slightly, as if she had dreamed of something terrible.
Nightmare?
With a past like that, it's normal to have nightmares...
Alas, what a poor child.
In the final analysis, it was because I imported the original background settings and then did not make any detailed modifications, which caused the AI to let itself go, right?
So it is I who should be punished...
Jinyun let Bronya hold his wrist. He stretched out his other hand and covered the back of Bronya's hand, wrapping the other's small palm with the warmth of his palm:
"Don't be afraid, little girl."
"With me here, no one can bully you."
"To me, it's not just a game, and you're not just a bunch of statistics."
"As long as I am alive, I will protect you."
I don't know if Bronya heard my promise, but her slightly trembling body gradually calmed down, her originally frowned brows relaxed again, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
But the hand he held was getting tighter and tighter.
Jinyun couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was no way for him to escape from this situation.
It seems I have to sleep with my helmet on tonight. I hope I won’t have neck pain when I wake up tomorrow morning.
After I relaxed, sleepiness came over me like a tide.
Jinyun synchronized the game time with the real time, and fell asleep with his head resting on the edge of Bronya's bed, gently holding her little hand.
There were no more emergencies in the second half of the night. It was not until dawn that Bronya woke up and opened her eyes.
My body feels so soft, as if I have overdrawn my energy after training. Every inch of muscle and bone is sending out signals of fatigue.
Bronya was about to get up when she suddenly felt a special warm touch on her palm.
She turned her head and saw Jinyun sleeping peacefully on the edge of the bed.
The most important thing was that my right hand was holding one of his wrists, while his hands were gently protecting my palms.
At this moment, the fragmented and hazy memories of last night finally became clear.
Bronya remembered that she had a fever, and it was so severe that she was even groggy.
At that time, there was someone who was always by her side taking care of her and warming her.
She thought that she was just dreaming. After all, she was a "traitor" and an "abandoned child". How could she be qualified to be cared for by others?
Thanks to waking up, Bronya remembered that she was no longer alone.
She has people she wants to protect, and people who want to protect her.
Bronya stared at Jinyun's sleeping face and suddenly remembered something.
I don’t know which book I saw this in, but it’s a way for girls to express their feelings.
Although Bronya didn't know what kind of feeling that was, she knew that the person in front of her was the only one worthy of her expressing her feelings.
She moved her body carefully, raised her head, and gradually approached Jinyun's cheek.
When the distance was right, she stuck out her tongue and licked her slightly dry lips.
If it's too dry, it will hurt Mr. Yun.
When she thought about what she was about to do, Bronya felt nervous for the first time.
But there is more anticipation and excitement.
It was the first time she felt this way, just like a child about to play a prank.
And, it seems not bad.
After taking a deep breath, Bronya finally made up her mind. She moved close to the other's cheek and gave Jinyun a kiss at the corner of his eyes.
Then, Bronya retracted her head as if she was afraid of being discovered by the other party, and dared not move.
She stared at Jinyun with her eyes fixed, her cheeks flushed like a light cherry blossom, and she was afraid that he would wake up and see this scene.
However, Jinyun's breathing was as steady and even as ever.
After making sure that the other party showed no signs of waking up, Bronya finally let go of her worries.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and smiled, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Looking at Jinyun's sleeping face, Bronya opened her lips slightly and whispered in a voice that only she could hear:
"Thank you, Mr. Yun."
"You will always be the warmest light in Bronya's heart."
Chapter 30 The Promise with Little Duck
When Jinyun woke up, he was stunned when he didn't see the familiar rental house.
But he quickly realized that he did not take off his helmet when he went to bed last night.
This is what it’s like when you sleep with a VR helmet on. When you just wake up, your brain is a little slow and it’s easy to confuse reality with the game.
"Good morning, Mr. Yun."
At this moment, Bronya's tender and gentle greeting sounded in my ears.
Jinyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bronya with a raised mouth and looking at him gently.
It is said that when you like someone, love will flow from your eyes.
Bronya's eyes were so gentle that they almost pulled out threads, which made Jinyun feel a little embarrassed.
"Good morning, Duck."
Jinyun jokingly called the other person by the nickname he had given her. Far from being dissatisfied, Bronya felt extremely cordial.
"It's still early, Mr. Yun, would you like to continue sleeping for a while? Bronya will prepare breakfast for you."
"No, but you, are you okay?"
"Well~ Thanks to Mr. Yun, Bronya is now completely fine."
Bronya sat up straight, still holding Jinyun's wrist with one hand, and bent her arm with the other hand, trying to show off her strong and beautiful little muscles.
"Look, Mr. Yun, Bronya is as strong as a bull now."
"Haha, indeed."
Jinyun placed his free hand on Bronya's head and gently stroked her soft and warm hair.
"Um, Mr. Yun."
"Sorry, does it hurt you?"
"No! No, can I, Bronya, make a request?"
"Well, you said."
"That's right, you..."
Bronya mustered up her courage and whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito:
"Can you give Bronya a hug?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
Jinyun responded directly with action. He sat sideways on the edge of the bed, opened his arms, and held Bronya's small body in his arms.
"Is this okay?"
"Hmm~"
