After Joining the Game, She Came Out as Gay [Infinite] - Chapter 6

Xia Lifang’s room, inside the shower stall.

She leaned against the side of the bathtub, savoring the comfortable experience the hot water brought to her body.

She had always known how to enjoy herself and had a preference for young, healthy men. Especially after entering middle age, the emptiness and loneliness in her heart required a gentle man to provide solace. Fortunately, she had plenty of money.

Under the temptation of wealth, those men would obediently act as her dogs. They were even more attentive than a sweet lover. Xia Lifang had always enjoyed this dynamic.

The bathroom door opened at that moment. Yu Feihang took off his bathrobe and wrapped his arms tenderly around her from behind.

“Little baby, shall we set up our ‘front-line outpost’ right here? I guarantee you’ve never experienced a feeling like this before.”

Xia Lifang sneered. “Sure. My dear dog, serve me well.”

Despite Yu Feihang’s humble behavior, no one had ever called him a “dog” before. Even when his vicious boss scolded him for poor performance, that specific word had never been used.

A flash of ruthlessness flickered in Yu Feihang’s eyes.

This old woman disgusted him physically. But no matter how nauseated he felt inside, he still had to greet her with a smile. No matter how painful it was, he had to endure it.

—As long as he could win this game, as long as he could survive.

Their “outpost” was quickly established. For a woman of Xia Lifang’s age, no matter how much she maintained her skin, it could never be as smooth as a young girl’s. Furthermore, the fat on her belly made him feel revulsed just looking at it. His mood was affected, making it impossible for him to last very long.

But Xia Lifang was not yet satisfied. She ordered Yu Feihang to dry his body quickly so they could continue on the bed.

When he emerged from the bathroom, Xia Lifang was already sitting by the edge of the bed, lighting a cigarette. Yu Feihang seemed to want to wait for her to finish smoking, but Xia Lifang waved him over, signaling for him to kneel.

“Serve me well… If you perform well enough, big sister might consider letting you ride my coattails to victory.”

The triumphant expression on that “pig’s” face made him want to vomit. Yet, he faithfully carried out her orders and served her.

Smoke swirled around him. The pig intentionally exhaled smoke into his face, choking him until he felt he might suffocate.

“Oh my, not serving me properly won’t do.”

Xia Lifang watched the coughing Yu Feihang with a playful expression.

“Put your heart into it! You bastard!”

“Th… that… I’m not used to the smell of smoke… Can you… put the cigarette out?”

“Heh!”

Xia Lifang suddenly grabbed his hair, forcing him to look her in the eye.

“What are you pretending for, huh? You’ve served plenty of women before, haven’t you? You can’t handle a little smoke? I need to think about things, I need a clear head. Did you think a dead dog like you could give me any help? If my brain gets rusty, I won’t be able to think of a strategy to clear the game!”

She leaned in close to him.

“You want to clear the game, don’t you? You want to rely on a big tree like me? Then use your heart to serve me!”

Yu Feihang grit his teeth, but the resentment in his eyes could no longer hold its focus.

Before his death, he worked at a branch of a travel agency called “Intimate Tours.” Xia Lifang was a corporate shareholder that their company had been trying to negotiate a partnership with. If they hadn’t happened to meet in this Divine Realm, he never would have had the chance to even know the name of this woman his company wanted to fawn over.

And now, he served her only because he wanted to live. To that end, he would do whatever was asked of him. In this Divine Realm, nothing could be worse than death anyway.

“Little baby, don’t be angry.” He lowered his head again.

“That’s more like it. Since you’re teaming up with me, at least be more valuable than a cigarette.”

That night, Yu Feihang truly demonstrated his “value” to the fullest extent. Xia Lifang admitted it had been a long time since she had felt this satisfied. They both collapsed on the bed, exhausted, waiting for their breathing to steady.

Yu Feihang put his arm around her shoulder, wearing a flattering smile as he gazed at her profile.

“When shall we call upon the God for the 【Oath】?”

“Hmm… I’ll think about it some more…”

Yu Feihang’s gaze turned cold.

Son of a bitch! After everything he gave tonight, she was still just “thinking about it”?

That wasn’t what she had promised before! She had said she would bring him back to life with her, then let him work at her company where he would rise through the ranks!

Although he was gnashing his teeth with hatred, given his status and position, he had absolutely no power to defy her.

“In Mr. Yu’s case, he’s probably already getting busy with Ms. Xia by now. Things should be quite heated between them at this moment.”

It was thanks to him “tying up” Xia Lifang that Xia Lin could openly come to Qi Cheng’s room. Even if that middle-aged woman had used sweet words to intentionally suppress Xia Lin, she definitely wouldn’t believe that Xia Lin would become despondent because of it.

On the first day of the game, the others had not yet fully digested or understood the “hidden rules” of the game. They didn’t understand how dangerous it was to let “two people be alone together.” Their alertness regarding “hindering opponents” was clearly not very high yet, and no one was monitoring Xia Lin’s every move.

Nie Siya had also returned to her room early. It seemed she had many things of her own to organize.

Listening to Xia Lin’s narration, Qi Cheng habitually rubbed her chin in thought. Once she finished, Qi Cheng sighed, “He really made a bad move by seeking out Xia Lifang.”

“Indeed. If he had played the pity card with Ms. Ni, his success rate might have been higher. However, a woman like Ms. Ni is probably the most useless to him.”

Xia Lin agreed with an expression of regret.

“Mr. Kuang is even more out of the question. It’s not easy to get Mr. Kuang to open up to others. As for Ms. Nie… because she deliberately keeps herself invisible, a snob like Mr. Yu would likely look down on her and wouldn’t even think of collaborating with her.”

“‘Dead certain look down on’… Uh, I thought an angelic girl like you would be gentlemanly and subtle even when insulting someone, not so blunt… though you were imitating his tone…”

Qi Cheng thought to herself that the fact she used a word like “angelic” to describe someone’s aura meant her brain was temporarily screwed up from eating too much junk food!

Xia Lin brushed her bangs aside, her smile becoming even more charming: “Because I want to have no reservations with you.”

Struck by that expression, Qi Cheng’s face actually began to turn burning hot. As expected of a top-tier domestic actress—to be able to say such embarrassing things with such a sincere face.

Qi Cheng was not good at dealing with this type of person. Or rather, someone like this had never appeared in her life; she had no idea how to respond. Everything she had learned from “Old Man” and “Chixiao” was completely inapplicable to this girl.

“Suddenly saying such stupid things…?!”

She unconsciously backed away, her eyes faintly burning with a mix of anger, unease, defensiveness, and… confusion.

Perhaps even she herself didn’t realize these emotions were there.

Xia Lin gazed at her, taking in the defensive posture and the chaotic yet non-contradictory feelings within her.

Anger, unease, and defensiveness were understandable. However, why was there confusion? Was it because her heart was already wavering?

“The best way to build a relationship of mutual trust is to deepen our understanding of each other.”

Xia Lin’s smile was very, very faint—faint like the warm sun of early spring, not intense like the scorching summer heat. It was a very gentle warmth.

Qi Cheng intentionally increased the distance between them. To avoid pressuring her, Xia Lin did not try to close the gap.

“What does Qi Cheng want to know about me? Things I like? Things I hate? My family structure? My experiences in the entertainment industry? Or perhaps… whether I have someone I like, or something like that?”

Meaning romantic history—something that was completely unrelated to Qi Cheng’s life path.

“No, no, no, no! I don’t want to know at all!” Qi Cheng waved her hands frantically as a conditioned reflex.

“Hmm… before we talk, can we have some electronic music? I really can’t relax without music… and electronic music builds the right atmosphere.”

Moreover, she felt that Qi Cheng needed to relax even more than she did.

Because it fell under the category of “items the God can provide,” as soon as Xia Lin finished speaking, a set of mixing speakers appeared in Qi Cheng’s room. They began playing Xia Lin’s favorite tracks—humorous and exciting music.

Qi Cheng said, extremely annoyed, “What kind of ghost thing did you just add to my room?! Turn it off right now!”

Xia Lin countered calmly, “It’s not very convincing to say that while your leg is shaking to the beat…”

Naturally, this unconvincing protest was ignored by the God, who was busy binge-watching anime.

Xia Lin: “If Qi Cheng doesn’t want to talk about herself, then just listen to my story for a bit, okay? After today, it will be even harder to find an opportunity for the two of us to be alone together…”

Once that “big auntie” finished “recharging” tomorrow, she would definitely hint to everyone that two people being alone might lead to plotting or create an opportunity for teaming up. She would tell everyone to avoid such situations. Even if she didn’t teach others, she would practice it herself, interfering with others to prevent them from having time alone.

…Fine. It wouldn’t hurt to listen to her story; it was free information anyway.

Qi Cheng quieted down. Accompanied by the music, she listened to Xia Lin’s monologue.
