Chapter 142: 142 Where is your shelf?
“Ah—”
The young girl standing in front of Chen Xu seemed to be frightened by his strike, her face deathly pale. It took her a moment before she let out a piercing scream and crouched down, clutching her head.
This girl was none other than Bai Jinxuan, the female celebrity he had seen once during the day at the photo studio.
But how could this be possible?
He was shocked.
At that time, the dream device had randomly scanned a woman in the shooting space. Although he heard the prompt, he had already decided to enter the dream alone and hadn’t checked who was scanned.
Before entering the dream, an option would pop up in front of him, prompting him if he wanted to bring a copied character into the dream. Just now, he had clearly chosen to skip, as there was no “no” option.
What on earth was going on?
Was there a BUG in the system?
A wave of panic suddenly surged in Chen Xu’s heart. The dream device was his biggest reliance. Although there had been some minor issues in the past, they could all be chalked up to his low-level clearance. Now, with a BUG appearing, how could he not be worried?
If he lost the dream device, it would be very difficult for him to achieve great success in the real world in a short amount of time. If it took too long, ten or fifteen years later, what would he do if Yang Jinxia had married someone else?
In modern society, temptations were everywhere. Who would wait for another person indefinitely? Even if she initially intended to wait, time would always dilute everything.
Even he himself, upon introspection, wasn’t confident he could remain unchanged during the process.
That night, when Old Tang told him to meet Luo Xiyun, he had to admit, he was a bit tempted.
By then, Bai Jinxuan, who was shivering with fright, hid her head and crouched for a while. When she realized nothing had happened, she cautiously lifted her head and sneaked a peek at him.
She saw a figure wrapped tightly from head to toe, wearing a helmet, a mask, indiscernible as male or female, with something that looked like a gun hanging at the waist, and a stick still hovering over her head.
Bai Jinxuan, noticing that the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of moving, suddenly became more alert. Recalling the words he had just spoken, her eyes lit up. She stood up and asked, “Do you recognize me? Are you one of my fans? You really scared me just now, can you put that stick away?”
Chen Xu was already somewhat annoyed. After listening to her ramble, he retracted his stick and replied impatiently, “No, I don’t.”
“Fine, you don’t recognize me, you don’t,” Bai Jinxuan said, her smile stiffening upon hearing his tone of impatience. She swallowed and asked softly, “Um, big brother, what exactly happened here? Why is there so much fog?”
“I don’t know.”
Chen Xu didn’t want to deal with her. The malfunction with the dream device gave him a great sense of urgency, not wanting to waste even a moment, and he turned and walked away.
“Where are you going?”
Seeing him leaving, Bai Jinxuan panicked. She had just woken up to the fog, wandered for almost half an hour, hadn’t seen a single soul, and was close to crying. Finally, she had found someone alive; she couldn’t let him just walk away and hurried after him.

“Shut up.” Chen Xu’s voice was stern.
Bai Jinxuan covered her mouth with her hand, not daring to make another sound, but continued to follow him closely, fearing that she’d be left behind.
She felt sorry for herself. The fog had appeared out of nowhere, her assistant and manager had vanished, and she had seen no sign of anyone else. Finally encountering someone she could talk to, it turned out to be an irritable guy.
Even with the trolls online, she had never felt as wronged as she did now.
I am a celebrity, after all, the hottest one this year, how can you ignore me like this?
She was really angry.
…
Visibility was too low all around, and Bai Jinxuan couldn’t even tell if it was morning or afternoon. Looking up, all was an expanse of white; she couldn’t see the sun, nor the sky.
She followed the man ahead without straying, not daring to linger. In such an environment, if she fell even one step behind, he could easily vanish into the thick fog.
Suddenly, the man in front stopped.
“Ah.”
By the time she realized, she couldn’t stop herself and, with a cry, bumped into his back.
“Sorry, sorry…” she apologized profusely, steadying herself by holding onto his shoulders and taking a small step back, afraid to provoke the irritable man.
“Don’t make a noise,” Chen Xu lowered his voice and reminded her again, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. Why did he feel like this female celebrity was a bit off?
This was the second office building. This time, he went straight to the entrance of the underground parking lot. By going in this way, he wouldn’t have to walk up the stairs again.
The entrance was somewhat steep. He walked down step by step quickly. Bai Jinxuan followed closely behind him, occasionally grabbing at his arm, clearly struggling to keep up with his pace and relying on him for balance.
Chen Xu felt increasingly irritable. In a real emergency, where he could have otherwise escaped, her grabbing at him like this would get him killed. But then he remembered that it was he who had brought her along, and she was somewhat innocent in all this. He had no choice but to slow down a bit so she could keep up.
As they went deeper, the mist thinned and it got darker and darker around them.
Suddenly, Chen Xu felt his clothes being tugged, and he stopped walking, saying in a very low voice, “Let go.”
Bai Jinxuan did let go.
He continued forward, and after a few steps, he was pulled back again. He stopped once more and turned to look at her.
Bai Jinxuan shivered and took a step back, clutching her top tightly, stuttering, “Sor… sorry, I… I’m a bit scared…”
Chen Xu heard the tremble in her voice, she was indeed quite frightened, and he suddenly felt a headache coming on. He suddenly missed Luo Xiyun and Yang Jinxia. Yang Jinxia aside, Luo Xiyun had never held him back.
In hindsight, he should have brought Luo Xiyun with him.
Actually, the best candidate would have been Yang Jinxia, but unfortunately, he had no idea where she was now and couldn’t even meet her if he wanted to.
At a time like this, getting angry would only backfire. He suppressed his frustration and explained, “Don’t hold onto my clothes. If something unexpected happens, you could get me killed, got it?”
In the darkness, he saw Bai Jinxuan nod and said, “First, relax.”
She took several deep breaths before saying, “I’m okay now.”
“Let’s go.” Only then did Chen Xu continue forward.
After that, Bai Jinxuan didn’t pull on his clothes anymore, and she seemed much more emotionally stable.
Women really are troublesome.
Chen Xu shook his head inwardly.
With the change in his state of mind, his expectations for his companions in experiencing the dream had also completely changed.
Before, he approached it with the intention of experiencing a different kind of life, he wasn’t eager to delve into the details of the dream world.
Now, in order to catch up with Yang Jinxia’s pace, he no longer had that leisurely mindset; he had to take it seriously.
Especially after discovering the BUG in the dream equipment, he became worried. What if the dream equipment got damaged, what if he could never enter a new dream again? It was possible that this could be his last dream.
That’s why he became so anxious and impatient, which is why he was so harsh with Bai Jinxuan, who could potentially hold him back.
When the two had just met earlier, he turned and walked away, not without the thought of just leaving her behind. But she followed him decisively, and it seemed like he couldn’t shake her off now.
He felt a bit heartless about verbally driving her away.
He also felt helpless. After all, she was a big star, yet she followed him despite his harsh demeanor. What about the pride of a star? What about the reserve?
If it had been Luo Xiyun, she would have walked away long ago.
With this thought flickering in Chen Xu’s mind, he quickly searched the entire parking lot.
Still, there was no one there.
“Could it really be that they’ve all moved?” he wondered.
He walked to the very back of the parking lot and stopped, holding a flashlight, shining it in every corner as he fell into deep thought.
At that moment, Bai Jinxuan couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer and asked, “What are you looking for?”
Chen Xu turned to look at her and suddenly remembered something, asking, “Why did you scream earlier, what did you encounter?”
Bai Jinxuan spoke with lingering fear, “I pushed open a door, and a skeleton suddenly fell at my feet, it was terrifying…”
Hearing this, Chen Xu’s eyes lit up, “Quick, take me to see it.”
PS: As usual, the next chapter will be before 10 pm, it may come earlier.
