[According to the outline, today’s plot is expected to involve another player. But today is New Year's Eve, which is not very auspicious, so I temporarily changed it to a New Year's Eve episode. 】
——
New Year's Eve——
"What are you doing?" Yunchuan watched with interest as Mu Chen stood on the stool and stuck the red sticker on the glass.
"It's window grilles. It's the New Year, and I'll be writing Spring Festival couplets soon." Ning Yu rushed over with a pile of red paper, and his red hair was made into tinfoil and permed, like a ball of flame swaying in the air.
"Oh." Yun Chuan, who actually didn't understand much, slowly walked towards Yue Muyang, who was making noodles. "What is this? Do you want turkey tonight?"
He stretched out a golden silk thread and tentatively touched the white dough in Yue Muyang's hand.
"Um...no...this is noodles. Let's eat dumplings tonight." Yue Muyang shivered and froze in place, not daring to move. It was obvious that as a normal player, he simply could not adapt to having a boss standing next to him, although the boss did not radiate any ill will towards him.
"Why eat turkey?" After Mu Chen put up the window grilles and was about to write couplets, he hooked Yun Chuan's waist and took him away from Yue Muyang, who was already stiff as a log.
"The chief player in Area M, he often applies for customized props. Every once in a while, he will make some weird things, such as trees with lights that light up by themselves, rabbits that lay patterned eggs, and turkeys. The bald man from the props department said he was preparing for the festival. "Yunchuan nodded in the air, and the golden threads instantly condensed into the shape of a tree.
"It's the Christmas tree and the Easter bunny, it's a foreign festival. Our country celebrates the Spring Festival, and we have to hang lanterns. Come on, do you want to write a blessing word?" Mu Chen spread out the red paper and exchanged it for a bottle of ink. In the dish.
"Okay."
……
"Why haven't they left yet?" Yunchuan held the bowl and floated it upside down by the stove. The living room was bustling with people. Ms. Wu had been cured of her mute disease by Xingchen and had regained her voice. She was now in the living room. Li directed a group of players to clean up the red paper left behind after putting up lanterns.
Mu Chen was playing with the white dumplings that were rolling up and down in the water. He used a slotted spoon to pick up a steaming dumpling while manually turning over Yunchuan, who was facing down.
"Everyone will get together to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Of course they won't leave. I tasted one and it felt ripe." He threw a round dumpling into the bowl that Yunchuan had been holding in his arms all afternoon.
"A hundred times better than Ameng's dark cuisine." Yun Chuan gave him the highest praise. "But... I just asked 001 to check the information. He said that only people and partners who are related by blood will eat dumplings together. You have nothing to do with them."
Seeing his lover's somewhat dissatisfied look, Mu Chen sighed softly. "Don't drive them away, dear, it's not allowed by the conditions."
"..."
Seeing that Yun Chuan was not talking, Mu Chen started to grab the first batch of dumplings on the plate. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his ankles. His long silver hair mixed with golden threads were wrapped around his ankles at an extremely tricky angle. Several laps.
"Then do you want to go home? Have dinner with your parents, brothers and sisters?" Yun Chuan suddenly approached him, a hint of cunning flashed through his golden eyes.
"I've been dead for a year, don't give me hope." Mu Chen held the plate with one hand and shook his legs in an attempt to break free from the shackles of his silver hair.
"Okay, okay, then give me a plate of dumplings." Yun Chuan floated in front of Mu Chen and took away the dumplings. "Let's go." A white light flashed, and Mu Chen was the only one left in the kitchen.
"Ahem." When the food on the table was all served, Yue Muyang moved aside cautiously.
"That..." There were two empty seats next to him. To be honest, if the boss really sat next to him, Yue Muyang shivered again, and he might not be able to swallow a bite of food.
"He's gone, don't be nervous." Mu Chen patted his shoulder from behind and looked helplessly at the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on the back of Yue Muyang's neck.
"That's great...ah...sorry." Yue Muyang immediately relaxed and his straight waist softened.
"It doesn't matter, happy New Year's Eve then." Mu Chen smiled and raised the glass filled with wine.
"Happy New Year's Eve."
"Happy New Year's Eve!"
——
Late Night
"Don't make trouble, dear." Mu Chen buried himself in the quilt and stretched out his hand to push away the hair that was brushing against his face.
"Wake up, go change clothes." Yun Chuan sat by the window and controlled Jinsi to pinch his nose with evil intentions, watching the man have to open his mouth to breathe.
"Ha...are there any activities?" Mu Chen closed his eyes and put on a random set of clothes. The players' carnival last night lasted for too long, and he had only slept for half an hour.
"What do you think this is?"
A soft light lit up in the darkness, projecting directly into the man's eyes through his eyelids. Mu Chen had to open his eyes. He looked at the slowly flowing light on his lover's palm with some confusion.
"This is...?" He stretched out his finger and tapped the flowing light spots.
"It's a teleportation array."
"Huh?"
The light spots suddenly dispersed, and Mu Chen only felt a huge suction force covering his whole body.
The familiar sight went dark.
……
"Hiss." I have a headache, not only my head hurts, my whole body hurts.
Mu Chen covered his head and climbed up from the pile of rocks, buzzing...
Something seemed to vibrate beneath him.
"This is...my mobile phone?" Mu Chen was shocked. Even though two years had passed, he still recognized it as his own mobile phone at a glance.
——
001 call——
'001...' Could it be that Yunchuan dragged him into a certain copy again... Mu Chen hesitantly clicked the answer button.
"Hello." The familiar voice coming from the phone made his heart drop back to his stomach.
"Where is this? Where are you?" He looked at the surrounding scenery, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.
"Hmm... there's a little problem. Go forward one hundred meters towards twelve o'clock. You come here first." The person on the other end simply hung up the phone. When Mu Chen arrived, a crescent moon was pushing away the clouds and splashing the silvery moonlight on the young man's long silver hair, as if covering him with a hazy white gauze.
Porcelain white skin, golden eyes, and long shimmering hair. His lover is leaning on the boulder, as beautiful as an angel who has strayed into the mortal world.
"Don't touch me." Yun Chuan controlled his vocal cords and tried not to let his throat vibrate.
Unfortunately, before the last word was uttered, those warm hands had already touched his shoulders.
Snap.
"..."
Mu Chen just watched as his beautiful and immortal lover shattered on the ground like building blocks.
"I told you not to touch me, space is unstable. The consciousness of the world tore me apart." Yun Chuan lay on the ground in pieces and rolled his eyes.
Thin and dense golden threads slowly spread from his broken limbs, repairing the broken body bit by bit.
"...Need help?" After being baptized by countless copies, Mu Chen desperately found that he was no longer frightened by the sudden separation of his lover.
"Stay there and stay out of the way." Yun Chuan drove him away angrily.
Buzz. The phone vibrated again.
——
My mother called——
Mu Chen's heart beat suddenly. This was... He looked at Yun Chuan who was still assembling himself on the ground in disbelief.
After pressing the button, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came.
"Chenchen, have you made dumplings today?"
This...this is...
"Mom?" An indescribable feeling came to his heart, and his mind went blank. Mu Chen cautiously called out this long-lost name.
"What's wrong, Chenchen?" The voice on the other side seemed a little confused.
"I..."
Snap, several twisted gold wires hit the back of his head hard.
‘Go back to celebrate the New Year, we’ll be here tomorrow. ’ The golden thread twisted in the air to form a line of text, floating in front of Mu Chen.
"Okay." Half an hour later, Yunchuan finally stood up again and stretched. He raised his foot and kicked Mu Chen, who was still stunned.
"I built a teleportation array to teleport you back to your world. The time now is the day before New Year's Eve. Ha... the consciousness of the world here doesn't seem to welcome me." He frowned and rubbed the newly spliced pieces. wrist.
"Let's go, what are you doing here? We only have three days."
"Am I already dead? Why..." Mu Chen was still immersed in shock.
"Stop! This is a forbidden technique, a forbidden technique banned by the stars. Don't ask me why, just know that you still have three days."
Yunchuan snapped his fingers, and his silver hair instantly shortened and turned back to the usual black color.
——
With the help of this ID card that Yunchuan had somehow conjured up, the two of them successfully got off the plane at 4:32 pm on New Year's Eve. Looking at the exit of the station with people coming and going, Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Nothing unusual happened along the way. It's just because I didn't get used to it."
"Then let me kill someone for you to get familiar with?" The black-haired young man next to him raised his sunglasses and lazily responded to him. When you arrive on Earth, you naturally have to do as the locals do. Yunchuan wrapped himself in a thick down jacket on the plane, and even kept a hat, scarf, sunglasses, and mask.
"...No need to."
"Okay."
"Uncle!!" The child's clear voice penetrated the crowd and hit Mu Chen's ears accurately.
"He's my brother's son!" Mu Chen quickly turned around, and sure enough he saw one large and one young running towards him.
"Go ahead, what are you waiting for?" Yun Chuan chuckled and reached out to pat his back, "I'll pick you up in three days. I've already taken care of the logic and background. Just say your mission is completed ahead of schedule. That’s it.”
"No."
Unexpectedly, Mu Chen grabbed Yunchuan who was about to run away.
"?"
"You come home with me." The man's eyes were astonishingly bright.
"...No, that's your home, why should I go there?"
"This is different. My family is very gentle. They will not be afraid of you like the players in Stars." Mu Chen held his wrist until the big one and the small one ran in front of them.
"Brother. Happy New Year, I brought my lover with me this year."
