Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1629 - 1440: All Caused by the Roses

"Swoosh!"

A dark golden radiance flickered as the treasure chest vanished, leaving Su Ran with three items in hand, including a satin robe.

A gem shining with a red glow, a bright rose, and a strand of rosewood bracelets.

"Ah, a rose!"

Youtong gazed at the rose with surprise and envy, tugging at Big Smoky’s clothes and complaining, "Smoky, you’ve never given me flowers, I want one too! And I want one from the game, don’t try to fob me off with real flowers!"

Big Smoky hurriedly agreed, but internally he was complaining. He managed to get himself into trouble just by watching the excitement. Roses from the game were rare items; Imperial City had no flower shops, and one couldn’t even buy them if they wanted to!

Opening this treasure chest has really brought about a tricky situation...

"Overturning Water Brother, are you selling the rose?"

With no other options, Big Smoky had to focus on this rose, thinking of pacifying with borrowed flowers—wouldn’t that solve everything?

But before Big Smoky could even finish his fantasy, he suddenly felt something was off. On a closer inspection, his expression froze.

Because he saw that all three women were shooting him looks of hatred, especially the Cream Boy, who seemed to wish she could gouge out a couple of his flesh with her glare!

"I don’t fancy the rose at all, don’t want it!"

Youtong glared fiercely at Big Smoky. What was the point of being so stubborn at a time like this? Wasn’t she just making things difficult for Little Yue?

"What’s gotten into you guys? If you want the rose, I’ll give it to you. It’s not a big deal!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Su Ran was quite puzzled. How did things suddenly escalate to this point?

Friendships that capsized so readily were not good at all.

"Overturning Water Brother, I would like to live a few more years, so you better keep the rose to yourself..."

Big Smoky felt a chill down his spine, cursing his quick mouth that almost led to a huge mistake!

"What’s the matter with you?"

Confused, Su Ran couldn’t understand why Big Smoky suddenly changed his tune.

Just then, Gu Yue stepped forward, smiling at Su Ran and softly said, "Brother Overturning Water, flowers are usually given to the girl one adores, but in front of you are three girls. Who do you intend to give the flower to?"

Cream Boy’s face flushed, her gaze filled with anticipation as she nervously didn’t know where to put her hands, clenching the hem of her garment so tight that even her fingertips lost their color.

Oh my god!

So this was the situation!

Su Ran was slow on the uptake and by the time he realized it, it was already too late. Gu Yue had asked the question, putting him on the spot to make a decision!

Dear system, why would you give me a rose as a reward? It’s such a pitfall!

Su Ran felt an urge to bolt.

"Little Yue, this multiple-choice question really isn’t easy. Favoring one means offending the others—I wouldn’t do such a foolish thing."

Su Ran outright refused and held up the red gem, trying to divert their attention, "Let’s take a look at this one first..."

"I like roses."

Cream Boy took a deep breath, stepped up to Su Ran, interrupted him, and stared at him earnestly, hoping to hear what she wanted from his mouth, along with that bright rose.

Seeing her work done, Gu Yue discreetly retreated to the back, exchanging a knowing look with Youtong, who gave her a thumbs up.

"..."

Su Ran felt uneasy to meet Wan’er’s gaze directly. In this confined space, there was no escape. The situation made it impossible to feign ignorance, so he had to say, "If you like this rose that symbolizes friendship, then take it."

"You know what I mean. And, the language of roses doesn’t symbolize friendship."

Creamy Idol took another step forward, now only thirty centimeters away from Su Ran. She was all in, determined to pierce through this layer of paper today!

"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, I have a girlfriend."

Since the situation had escalated to this point, Su Ran had no choice but to firmly reject her. He never dreamed that Wan’er would fall for him to this extent. What a sin!!!

"You have a girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Creamy Idol was struck as if by lightning, her face turning deathly pale, not even the white veil could cover it up. Her body trembled as she braced herself to ask Su Ran, "Are you lying to me?"

The temperature in the entire warehouse seemed to drop suddenly. The other three didn’t dare to even breathe loudly, not knowing what to say.

Before Su Ran could think of an excuse, Creamy Idol kicked the other three out of the team and forcibly teleported them out of the warehouse, leaving just the two of them.

"Say what you want to say now; there’s no need to be awkward about it."

Creamy Idol stood there quietly looking at Su Ran, her tone becoming very calm, like the calm before a storm.

"Wan’er, can’t we not be like this? It’s as if I’ve done you wrong,"

Su Ran took two steps back to increase the distance between them before he said, "I really do have a girlfriend, I’m not lying to you. You’re a good girl, don’t let me, this crooked-necked tree, delay you any further. That would be terrible."

After laying it all out, Su Ran breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The guilt in his heart also lessened considerably. He swore to himself that no matter what, he could not let Wan’er know that Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained was her Little Brother Su. This secret could rot in his stomach for all he cared!

"Don’t give me the ’nice guy’ speech, I don’t care for it. Spilt Water, then why are you so nice to me? Pets, skills, and even weapons, you gave them all to me. Even when I started my own guild, you supported me wholeheartedly. Why?"

Creamy Idol’s eyes reddened, overwhelmed by too many cherished memories that she couldn’t forget and never wanted to. Now, they’ve become a scar seared into her heart, an unbearably painful feeling.

Su Ran really wanted to tell her that he was just repaying a debt of gratitude...

But he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

After a while, Su Ran sighed, "I saw that it wasn’t easy for a girl to run a guild by herself; I just wanted to help you out. I didn’t mean to mislead you. If this has hurt you, then I apologize."

"I don’t want to hear it!"

Creamy Idol covered her ears, her eyes moist, tears threatening to spill at any moment. In this instance, her frail female image was undeniably evident.

Time agonizingly ticked by, and inadvertently, another two minutes passed. For Su Ran, it was more unbearable than two hours.

He was now eager to leave this place; standing or sitting here felt terribly awkward.

"Can you tell me about your girlfriend?"

Creamy Idol regained her composure, though her eyes remained red-rimmed.

"Girlfriend?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Su Ran scratched his head awkwardly. What could he say? Surely he couldn’t make someone up?

This question was a difficult one; he needed to think carefully before responding...

"Wan’er, let’s not talk about this topic. It makes things strange and awkward. It’s not good this way."

"Give me the rose, you said you were going to give it to me."

"Ah?"
