I may have played a fake fantasy

Chapter 195 New Year's Eve

January 2004, 1, New Year's Eve, noon.

Ye Shang played the game for a while after waking up today, and he played the game after finishing the division and daily tasks. After all, today is a special day for Chinese people, and most people still choose to be quiet. Come down and immerse yourself in the festival.

A few days ago, Ye Shang fainted again in the Border Tavern. Of course, he didn't know it was Tian Xing's fault, but being unconscious several times in the game still made him unacceptable and even a little scared.

After Ye Shang left the game that day, he left a message for his future self. It happened that the other party was also online, so the two started talking.Ye Shang expressed his worries. He was afraid that another coma would cause irreversible damage to his body. After all, he played the game in a holographic posture, and his nervous system was connected to the game.

For Ye Shang's unfounded worries, the future Ye Shang did not laugh or refute, but suggested that he try to participate in some normal activities in the next few days and not contact those high-level NPCs or special events.

After the popularization of holographic technology, the corresponding neuroprotective measures and nursing plans were relatively complete. In 2004, even if Ye Shang could use some abilities to realize neural connections, it was still quite dangerous without supporting protective measures, so the future Only Ye Shang recognized his judgment.

So, in the next few days, Ye Shang will be honestly doing tasks, doing activities, and clearing dungeons, and the task of challenging the forbidden area of ​​​​the sect, as expected before, will be postponed until the next year.

To put it bluntly, the current Ye Shang began to cherish his life.

In his previous life, Ye Shang was just a 30-year-old single loser with no career and no ability. Even if his parents were there, he was not too afraid of death (provided that he would not be tortured and he would not actively think about it).It's not that Ye Shang is not filial, but that he feels that death is independent of human subjective will. It's not that if he doesn't want to die, death doesn't have to come. It's just that he won't be too scared if he really wants to catch up. He basically fits the "only one life" standard.

Today's Ye Shang is different. He can play games without any mental or mental burden, and he no longer needs to be said to be not doing his job properly; he can study with his parents what he likes, because his parents not only play, The level is even higher than him; beside him are 4 beauties who are comparable to plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, with different postures, even if none of them have any meaning for him, but he can be with several beautiful girls every day He is also very satisfied playing games and talking and laughing together.

Human beings are afraid of death just because they have nostalgia. Although this is very sad, it is also a kind of bitter happiness that human beings must bear.

At noon, Ye Shang lay bored on the bed and played with his mobile phone. On big days like New Year's Eve, people in Q City eat two meals during the day, one around 10 o'clock and one around 15 o'clock.

"Xiao Shang, don't you want to set off fireworks outside?" Ye Chengyan appeared at the door of Ye Shang's room and asked casually.

"Ah, don't go, I'm too lazy to move." Ye Shang's mental age is no longer that kind of foolish kid, and setting off firecrackers and fireworks is regarded as a child's play by him.

"Oh, then your mother and I will go put flowers. You should stay at home."

"..."

Yesterday, Ye Shang rarely participated in the conversation of gang members in the game, and he inevitably heard a saying: "The taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker. It used to be fun to celebrate the New Year, but now it's a little I feel nothing."

Ye Shang sneered at this statement. If asked, he could give a whole set of ways to keep people fresh.

One, don’t eat meat every day, it’s good to eat once a week. Eggs and milk should also be removed from the daily diet, and even fresh melons and fruits should be eaten less.In this way, after the Chinese New Year, people who can eat nonsense for several days and eat things that they can't usually eat will feel happy.

Second, don’t buy a few sets of new clothes throughout the year. Don’t buy any clothes unless a major event occurs. Wear old clothes and sew and patch them if they are torn.In this way, when the Chinese New Year arrives, you will feel happy when you change into new clothes from head to toe, from the inside to the outside.

Third, don’t take so much vacation. Some holidays are either closed or half-day or one-day off. Usually, there are no weekends, only half-day off and go to work at the mother-in-law’s house.In this way, after the Chinese New Year, people will feel happy after resting for more than ten days.

Fourth, don’t usually call friends and relatives out of town, write letters when you think of someone, and it will be received after half a month. As for meeting by train or plane, it’s purely overthinking.In this way, until the Chinese New Year, when relatives and friends gather together to drink and talk, they will feel happy.

It can be said that the life we ​​are living now is the life that was only available during the Chinese New Year decades ago or even 20 years ago. It is precisely because of the better life and the abundance of various benefits, holidays, etc. that the Chinese New Year cannot be enjoyed by people. Such intense joy.

If we let our life go back 20 years or even longer, and let all the convenience around us go with it, just to change it to have a new year flavor during the Chinese New Year, how can others not figure it out, but Ye Shang must be Don't do it.

……

Ring, ring, ring, Ye Shang's cell phone received a call. He looked at the call marked "Qu Shang Li" and smiled, then answered the call.

Qu Shangli called because he wanted to wish his friends a happy new year (although it only counts on the first day of the new year), and now this guy Ye Shang has also entered the life of this lady from a scholarly family. .

We have been playing games together for so long, and even Qu Shangli moved to Q City not long ago. When they chat together, they have heard about other people's family situations. Ye Shanghui knows this and it is not an exaggeration. .

Qu Shangli's father is a well-known old musician in China, and her mother is a famous Peking Opera actress, so she has cultivated a musical talent... In the end, this eldest sister chose to become an art teacher.However, Qu Shangli's parents are very open-minded, and they don't have the idea of ​​"you are my daughter, you must inherit my career". What the two elders mean is that as long as you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want, and the best thing is to support yourself.

After chatting with Qu Shangli for less than 5 minutes, the other party hung up because he had to call other people. A sociable person like Qu Shangli is indeed busy in this regard.

After hanging up the phone, Dizi's call came. This little girl must have never thought of calling to greet others. It was probably her parents who reminded her.

In the same 5 minutes or so, the other party hung up the phone. Dizi, who is usually noisy and easy-going, has many friends.

The third person who called was Qian Qian. She now considers Ye Shang a friend, but the latter guessed that she probably called to say hello from the perspective of a business partner.However, Ye Shang doesn't care what the other person's mentality is when he calls. As long as the other person has intentions and remembers him, it doesn't matter to him.

It was Zhai Zhengnan who called at the end, and the eldest sister immediately said "Shang Li asked me to call you", which immediately revealed that she hadn't thought about it at all.

After hanging up Zhai Zhengnan's phone call, Ye Shang got up from the bed and lit a cigarette. At this moment, he felt a little lonely in his heart.

Zhai Zhengnan, Qian Qian, and Qu Shangli have all returned to their hometowns. They only came to Q City because of the game. Although they will come back later, they still have to go home to be with their families during the New Year. Can not be exempt.

Although Dizi's parents are also in Q City, their family is not local after all, and they still have to go back to their hometown in the south to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, so they are not here now.

None of the partners who have been together at ordinary times are by his side now, Ye Shang would have no problem at first, but his heart is empty.Ye Shang walked into the lives of the four girls, but at the same time, the four girls also walked into his life, making him take being with other people for granted.

"Ah, it's boring, let's play games." A sense of emptiness surged up, and Ye Shang had to play games to get rid of it.

But today is definitely not a day suitable for games. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside almost never stops. Ye Shang is a person who likes peace and quiet, and he can't accept it now.

So, after barely finishing it for a while, Ye Shang felt even more irritable, and then exited the game angrily, returned to the bed and lay down.

"What is the relationship between me and them?" Ye Shang, who can think about things in his spare time, began to think about it. Rationally speaking, he dare not have illusions about any girl, but emotionally speaking , he wants to be a partner with one of them.

Daydreaming didn't cost money, so Ye Shangzhen began to think carefully. After a while...he fell asleep before he could think of the answer. He didn't know if he was stumped by this problem.
