Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 159 - 156: So Deep, So Hot

Erin Group Headquarters Building, in front of the north gate.

Yang Mingzhong squatted on the ground, holding a cigarette, his gaze tightly locked on the rear tire of a car by the gate.

He had been squatting here for a while now.

According to his previous reconnaissance, that key NPC should be appearing soon.

Sure enough, within a few minutes—

"Meow~"

With a soft call, a round little cat, resembling a gas cylinder, with its tail upright, walked out from behind the tire.

Little Pig Mimi tiptoed its paws and headed straight for the north gate.

"Mi Xiaoxiao!" Yang Mingzhong called out.

"Meow~" The cat heard the call and immediately turned its head, quickly ran to Yang Mingzhong's feet, and circled around his trouser legs.

Yang Mingzhong squatted down, raised his hand, and rubbed the cat's cheek.

In fact, at the beginning of this last task, he came to find Mi Xiaoxiao and directly asked where the "furnace" was, but Mi Xiaoxiao had slipped away through the north gate without turning back.

But now, with a key hint from the guild leader, Yang Mingzhong changed his approach:

"Do you know how to get to the underground path around Erin Group?"

"Meow~" Mi Xiaoxiao rubbed its round head against Yang Mingzhong's palm, then turned around and walked inside the yard.

This was to lead Yang Mingzhong.

Yang Mingzhong quickly followed, seeing Little Pig Mimi squat down by a flower bed, with its butt up, using its front paws to dig a hole like a dog.

Yang Mingzhong squatted beside the cat, lifted his hand, and pushed aside the bushes covering the flower bed, only then seeing what Mi Xiaoxiao was digging—those were a few stones piled into a makeshift fortress.

The moment Mi Xiaoxiao dug out the fortress, a lizard as big as a finger shot out from the collapsed stones.

"Tiger Bro?" Yang Mingzhong instinctively called out.

The lizard heard the name and suddenly froze, as if it was enchanted with a freezing spell.

Yang Mingzhong stepped over into the flower bed and walked to where the lizard was.

The little lizard felt Yang Mingzhong's approach and immediately darted forward again before freezing once more to let the man behind catch up.

Yang Mingzhong followed the lizard, walking and stopping within the flower bed, and ultimately stopped directly underneath a drainpipe of the Erin Building.

The lizard drilled down into the soil and vanished from sight.

Yang Mingzhong squatted down, pulled out a dagger, and began digging where the lizard had entered.

Soon, the dagger hit a thick iron plate with a clang.

Yang Mingzhong paused his digging, put away the dagger, and used his hands to clear away the surrounding soil, revealing a hidden door.

With excitement in his eyes, Yang Mingzhong immediately opened the guild chat group from the system—

[Y.M.Z.: Found it!]

[Y.M.Z.: The hidden door to the underground]

[Little Fu: (ᵒ̤̑₀̑ᵒ̤̑)wow!*✰]

[Huohuohuo: Awesome, bro, where are you? Share your location, we're heading over now!]

...

...

President's Office.

Wen Nan's cheeks were held by Guan Ailin, their kiss intense and lingering.

Only when he was a bit out of breath did he have to pinch Guan Ailin's neck to pull her slightly away and smiled, "Why so clingy all of a sudden?"

Guan Ailin knelt in front of Wen Nan, raised her hand and gently traced his features as if trying to engrave his face into her heart.

"I'm a bit scared... very scared... scared that one day I will forget you." Guan Ailin lowered her eyes, holding Wen Nan's hand, "This morning, I clearly sent you a message, but during the meeting in the morning, I suddenly couldn't remember anything. It was as if the person who spoke to you and sent those messages wasn't me at all."

Wen Nan understood Guan Ailin's worries, which was also why he felt lost when alone in the office earlier, but he said nothing, just held her hand back, brought it to his lips, kissed it softly, and then smiled, "Don't overthink it. You were just busy with work and forgot momentarily; haven't you remembered now?"

Guan Ailin shook her head, not so easily dismissed,

"It's not that simple. I… I can feel it, like there's an eraser hidden in my mind, ready to wipe away everything about you at any moment...

"I'm terrified, terrified that one day, like Li Shuyi, I will completely forget the husband I once loved the most."

Wen Nan kissed her trembling eyelash, "It won't happen. I promised to take you away, and I definitely will."

Guan Ailin lifted her eyes, gazed at Wen Nan, stared for a moment, then suddenly lost control and lifted her hand to open his shirt, ready to repeat last night's actions.

Wen Nan gently held her slightly trembling hand, glanced toward the door, "We're in the office."

Outside, people were coming and going, with footsteps and conversation faintly audible.

Guan Ailin shook her head, "Without my permission, no one dares to come in."

With that, she placed Wen Nan's hand onto herself.

...

Unlike before, at this moment, Guan Ailin was more proactive and passionate than ever before.

Just like she said, she was very worried and scared, eager to outline Wen Nan's shape with her body, as if only by doing so could she imprint him completely into her mind.

...

...

After finishing this "business," Wen Nan gently placed Guan Ailin on the spacious sofa, sat up, and immediately received a string of messages.

First from the Wenna Guild group—

[Huohuohuo: Finally opened it! The gate was so welded, damn it!]

[Huohuohuo: [Image]]

[Huohuohuo: xdm, the three of us are going in to explore first]

[yao: 1]

[yao: Let's do it!]

[Jinxing: Be careful]

[Huohuohuo: Damn, this passage is freaking deep! So damn hot!]

[yao: ???]

[yao: You better be talking about the passage]

[Huohuohuo: Damn what kind of crappy way are you opening?]

[Huohuohuo: No, it's a real furnace inside]

[Huohuohuo: Can't take it, we're coming out, we went about twenty meters inside, and the temperature already shot up to almost fifty degrees, if we go further, we're definitely going to roast like pigs]

[yao: Pigs have self-awareness]

[Huohuohuo: Damn you]

[Y.M.Z.: Little Fu is having heatstroke, do you have medicine?]

[Jinxing: Yes, you guys come back to the refresh point first, don't rush inside anymore]

Following the guild group's messages, another message popped up—
