Xi Ning was still a bit reluctant, but Song Zhou said, “There will be a chance to come back in the future.”

After all it is a virtual world, and it is more operable. As long as their authority is high enough, they can return to any world at any time, and they can even choose the time point freely.

Hearing what Song Zhou said, Xi Ning nodded silently, pulled out his consciousness under the system’s notification tone, and entered the void to wait.

At this time, Xi Ning finally recovered all his memories.

What Song Zhou told him before was true. He was indeed punished because he violated the rules to help Song Zhou.

After graduation, Xi Ning came to Three Thousand Bureau as an intern and worked as an inspector for the first three months. When he first came, it was Song Zhou who took him to go through the entry and accommodation procedures.

This was the first time the two met. Xi Ning had a deep impression on Song Zhou. He only found out later that Song Zhou had the deepest impression on him even though there were so many new interns that day.

The Three Thousand Bureau has many departments and many employees. Xi Ning didn’t have much contact with Song Zhou at first. Later, he happened to meet him on a mission during an inspection.

Xi Ning was a little surprised and accidentally let out a “huh”.

Song Zhou is very perceptive. The system he chose was the one with the least words, so it wouldn’t talk to him like that. He tentatively asked, “Inspector?”

Now that he found out, Xi Ning stopped hiding and said honestly, “Yes, hello.”

Unexpectedly, Song Zhou also remembered him. He heard his voice, pursed his lips and said, “It’s you.”

Two hours passed quickly, and Xi Ning was teleported to another world.

Inspectors also have grades. Senior inspectors can independently choose the world they inspect each time. Xi Ning wanted to meet Song Zhou again, so he purposely did more inspection missions. He met Song Zhou twice in the middle, and finally became a senior inspector.

During that time, the two quickly became acquainted. Song Zhou didn’t ask Xi Ning why he often came to inspect him, but he must have noticed his existence, and Xi Ning didn’t take the initiative to tell him. The relationship between the two of them was more like a tacit understanding.

When Song Zhou’s mission was about to come to an end, he asked Xi Ning, “Would you like to meet up after I come back?”

Of course Xi Ning agreed, but something went wrong in Song Zhou’s last mission.

After the mission failed, he had to start all over again. Everything Song Zhou had done before was in vain. Xi Ning felt distressed and worried, so he quietly invaded Song Zhou’s system, adjusted his mission points which were more than adequate to buy items in the mall.

He did this without telling Song Zhou. When Song Zhou found out, it was too late. He had no choice but to just use the items in the mall and successfully complete the mission so that he can come out first.

After he came out, he found out that Xi Ning’s action was discovered and punished.

Song Zhou hurriedly found Xi Ning. Xi Ning was about to meet the person in charge, with a flustered expression on his face. When he saw Song Zhou appearing, he was stunned, and immediately lowered his head.

Although Xi Ning communicated more with Song Zhou when he was attached to the system, Song Zhou didn’t feel unfamiliar after seeing him face to face, so he stepped forward and hugged him gently.

Song Zhou comforted him, “I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

Because of his actions, Xi Ning’s body froze. After a while, he raised his flushed face and whispered, “I’m sorry……”

“It’s okay.” Song Zhou stretched out his hand to caress the top of Xi Ning’s hair, couldn’t help but brush the hair on his forehead and kissed gently between his brows, “You go to the person in charge first, and contact me anytime if you have any problems.”

He took Xi Ning’s cell phone and added his own number, and accompanied Xi Ning to the office on the top floor.

Later, the person in charge told Xi Ning the content of the punishment, and said that as long as he agreed, Song Zhou’s punishment would be lighter. Xi Ning had no other choice but to accept it.

In order not to worry Song Zhou, Xi Ning originally didn’t tell him about it.

Even though he didn’t tell him, Song Zhou also had a way to know. He contacted the high-level people he knew well, and came up with a way after learning about Xi Ning’s punishment.

The virtual world simulator in the hands of the person in charge is not the latest version, and can be connected to other simulators. Song Zhou secretly changed Xi Ning’s system settings, and finally entered the small world with him.

Xi Ning had just finished digesting the recovered memory, and the darkness in front of him gradually dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

He was lying in a closed circular container with a connector on his head, and the screen in front of him displayed, “Mission completed, welcome back.”

Xi Ning took off the connector and opened the hatch of the container. The person in charge who assigned him the mission at the beginning stood outside, smiling and congratulating him, “Good job.”

The time he spent in the virtual world was only ten minutes to the outside world. The person in charge raised his wrist and looked at his watch, recording the completion of Xi Ning’s punishing mission on the electronic panel.

“How do you feel?” The person in charge wrote with a pen and lowered his head, “As a novice, plus you even have different illness punishments on you. It’s already pretty impressive to be able to achieve such a result.”

Xi Ning got out of the container and sat on a chair, pressing his temples. The person in charge put his pen away and poured him a glass of warm water with concern, “I’ve already applied for a three-day leave for you, so just rest for the next few days.”

“Thank you.” Xi Ning took the water and glanced at the person in charge quietly. He probably didn’t notice that Song Zhou had gone in with him. Xi Ning took the phone on the table and sent Song Zhou a message.

The person in charge had other things to do, and left after saying goodbye to Xi Ning. Xi Ning sat on a chair and drank the water slowly. Not long after, he heard footsteps outside the door.

Song Zhou opened the door and came in. He was slightly relieved to see Xi Ning who was unharmed. He approached and pulled a stool to sit in front of Xi Ning. He touched his cheeks and palms, “Did you feel any discomfort?”

Xi Ning shook his head, put down the water glass and reached out to let him hug, “I just have no strength to walk.”

Song Zhou skillfully carried him over, lowered his head and kissed him, “It’s getting late, shall I take you back first?”

Xi Ning nodded obediently, Song Zhou turned around and picked him up and walked out, receiving many curious looks along the way.

They are not yet a couple in reality. Xi Ning buried his head and hid his face, and waited for the voices around him to gradually fade away before raising his head again.

Soon Xi Ning found out that Song Zhou was going in the wrong direction. It didn’t seem to be the way to his dormitory.

Until Song Zhou took him to a one-person apartment, opened the door and put him on the sofa in the house, Xi Ning looked around, “This……is this where you live?”

“Yes,” Song Zhou closed the door and found a new pair of slippers for Xi Ning. He came over and bent down to put them on for him. When he noticed that Xi Ning was a little stiff, he raised his hand and pinched his face. “What?”

He leaned closer to kiss Xi Ning, and Xi Ning gradually relaxed from the familiar feeling. When he thought that Song Zhou was completely real now, he was filled with indescribable eagerness.

Song Zhou backed away a little, and wiped the water stain from his lips with his hand, “Ning Ning, can you be my boyfriend?”

Xi Ning leaned over and kissed his lips again, and replied, “Sure.”
