SFS Chapter 416 Zhou Linwu
Chapter 416 Zhou Linwu
Perhaps her good luck from the first two rounds had run out, and Lady Luck did not favor Mu Zhirui this time.
After she won two games in a row, everyone subconsciously focused their attention on her in subsequent games, scrutinizing every subtle expression and every seemingly ordinary statement.
This intense focus of attention has undoubtedly become a sweet burden for her.
The next two games turned out to be early defeats for her.
In the first game, she played as a villager. Before she could even figure out the situation, her steady speech made her seem like a hidden wolf and was pushed out, unlike a villager who had closed her eyes.
In the second game, I finally managed to draw the powerful Witch card and thought I could hold out until the late game. But when I opened my eyes at night, I heard the judge's cold words: "Tonight, you're the one who will die."
The first strike landed precisely on her.
In the darkness, Mu Zhirui's fingers tightened slightly as she held the antidote and the poison. Several figures flashed through her mind, but her gaze finally settled on the direction of Number 9 From.
His seemingly open and honest demeanor, which actually concealed a calculating nature, made her hesitant to trust him.
She hesitated for a full half minute until the judge began to urge her, then gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and showed the number 9 – Poison From.
When the judge announced that player number 9 was eliminated, From froze in his seat. After taking off his helmet, he stared straight at Mu Zhirui, his eyes filled with disbelief.
After the match ended, he immediately moved closer to Mu Zhirui, his tone full of resentment, even his usual arrogance was less pronounced, and he looked like a large dog that had been wronged: "Am I really... not a good person? I protected you last round, and this round I was clearly a civilian, but you poisoned me without saying a word!"
Looking at his expression, Mu Zhirui nodded seriously, her tone exceptionally frank: "Well, the main problem is that no matter what cards you play, it always looks like you're hiding something. If they don't poison you, who else would they poison?"
From looked at the smile in her eyes, opened his mouth, but only managed to utter an ellipsis. He had a bellyful of grievances but didn't know where to say them, which made everyone around him burst into laughter.
As the sun gradually set, it bathed the cards on the table in a warm golden hue, and today's face-to-face gaming session finally came to an end.
While tidying up the cards, Xiao Quan's eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands and suggested, "Everyone had so much fun today, and we even had some important bosses with us. How about we go out for a meal? It'll be a good way to relax, since we have another round of games tomorrow!"
These words were immediately met with everyone's approval.
As the boss, Brother Neck didn't refuse and took the initiative to treat everyone, saying with a smile, "Okay, I know a private chef restaurant with good food and an elegant environment. Let's go there."
The group followed him to the restaurant, only to discover that it was hidden in a quiet alley. The restaurant was exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, and it was clear that it was expensive. It was obvious that Neck Bro had put a lot of thought into it.
On the dining table, steaming dishes were served one after another, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses mingled with laughter, the tension from the previous game long since dissipated.
Xiaomai and Mu Zhirui chatted about interesting things in the live stream, while 11 was busy pouring drinks for everyone.
After dinner, Xiao Quan was still not satisfied and suggested going to a karaoke bar to sing a few songs, which everyone readily agreed to.
The private room was brightly lit, and the atmosphere instantly became lively as soon as the melody started. Xiao Quan sang a cheerful pop song, winning a round of applause.
Eleven then played a rock song, belting out a song with great enthusiasm, which made everyone laugh.
As the song ended, Xiao Quan, holding the microphone, suddenly looked at From, then turned to Mu Zhirui and winked, her tone full of encouragement: "F Emperor! Want to sing a song? You've definitely never heard F Emperor sing before, have you? He sings so well!"
From is a regular player in the offline Masters Tournament. Although he is the owner, he has a great personality and is young. Everyone treats him as a friend and sometimes teases him, but he never gets angry. He doesn't have the airs of a super-rich person.
As soon as he said that, the private room fell silent for a moment, and everyone’s eyes were focused on From. Mu Zhirui couldn’t help but raise her eyes, her eyes full of curiosity.
She only knew that From was a big spender in the live stream and was good at playing Werewolf, but she had never heard him sing. She really wanted to hear what this noble and flamboyant young master would sound like when he sang.
From stood up confidently, took the microphone, gently stroked the microphone with his fingertips, glanced at everyone, and smiled gently: "Then I'll make a fool of myself and sing 'Special Person' for you."
"Special Person"?
Mu Zhirui was stunned for a moment, and the scene commonly seen in voice chat rooms immediately flashed into her mind—those male model anchors always liked to sing these kinds of gentle and tender songs to attract customers to give them tips. She didn't expect From to choose this song.
But when the accompaniment slowly began and From's voice came through the microphone, Mu Zhirui swallowed all her teasing and was completely amazed.
His voice was different from his usual clear and flamboyant one; it was now somewhat deep and husky, like a warm evening breeze, every note was just right, so gentle it could melt your heart.
The private room was quiet, everyone was immersed in his singing, and even the lights seemed to soften.
Looking at the glittering From on the stage, Mu Zhirui suddenly had a thought.
This young master, who usually loves to throw tantrums and boast, also has such a gentle and dazzling side that it's hard to look away.
That night, Mu Zhirui was unusually happy. She drank some wine with everyone, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were more lively than usual.
As it was getting late, everyone prepared to leave. Before leaving the KTV, Mu Zhirui added Qingqing Lingling and From on WeChat.
From's WeChat profile picture is a side profile photo of himself against a backdrop of a blue sea and sky.
[From: Zhou Linwu]
Zhou Linwu.
Mu Zhirui murmured the name to herself. It sounded really nice, like the male protagonist in a novel.
[r..：慕之蕊]
She also gave her name.
[Zhou Linwu: Then I'll call you Xiaorui from now on?]
Xiao Rui?
Thinking of how easily he used to say "little R" in the game, Mu Zhirui gritted her teeth.
[r..: We're not that close yet, are we? Xiaowu!]
