midnight ten

Despite the cold reception, Tang Lin still relied on unilateral enthusiasm to give a brief introduction to his and Fan Peiyang's affairs to his new teammates.

Some of the key events with prominent contradictions have been abbreviated and downplayed based on the opinions of Mr. Fan, the party involved.Even so, judging from Huo Xu's feedback, the effect of the soft light filter does not seem to be too obvious.

I don't know if it's because the amount of information is too much. During the whole process, Huo Xu basically didn't speak.Fortunately, Tang Rin didn't want any interaction, so he finished speaking in one breath, showing a relieved smile: "The basic situation is like this."

Huo Xu sat there silently, digested for a long time, and finally picked out a summary: "What kind of relationship do you have with Fan Peiyang?"

The past tense and the present continuous tense are definitely two concepts. Tang Lin immediately corrected his new partner: "It used to be."

But to Huo Xu, the timing doesn't matter, what matters is: "Are you two men?"

"..." This subtle questioning tone made it difficult for Tang Lin to judge for a while. The other party suspected whether it was his relationship with Fan Peiyang or the gender of the two of them, so he had to give a comprehensive and clear answer, "We are both Men, but men and men, can also have..."

He wanted to say "you can also have feelings", but suddenly realized that feelings are too broad, just like now, even if he lost the memory of his relationship, he still has feelings for Fan Peiyang like friends, brothers, and partners, which are not lighter than love .

So in the end, he used a narrow definition.

"It's also possible... to fall in love."

Huo Xu couldn't understand Tang Lin's subtle emotions, because the information on the surface had already messed up his head.

He had to simply and rudely abandon all divergent thinking, put aside what is reasonable and unreasonable, whether it is strange or not, and focus on the information itself before he managed to draw out a coherent timeline: "You started a company with him, fell in love , and then when you wanted to break up, you found out that you were terminally ill. He was selected to get involved here. In order to save you, he pulled you in when he was in the Wishing House, and used [as before] on you. You recovered from your illness, but you lost your memory. 2/10 Demos helped you spy on some memories, and you officially broke up with him..."

"Is this the reason why you have two stationery trees?" Huo Xu finally figured out something he was interested in, "Because you were not selected by the system, but pulled in by him by unconventional means?"

The topic was caught off guard and turned to the stationery tree. Tang Lin was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly dragged his thoughts out of the entanglement with Fan Peiyang, followed by Huo Xu's question, and nodded cautiously: "I think it should be. Because apart from this, I There is no longer any difference between you and other passers-by."

"The way to enter here is different, can there be two stationery trees?" Huo Xu obviously still has doubts about this general explanation.

Tang Lin thought for a moment, and went further: "I told you just now, my second stationery tree is actually a tamed nocturnal monster, which entered the owl pattern on my arm. Since then, I have started I suspect that whether it is the owl system’s manipulation of us or the stationery tree we have, it may be based on a certain kind of energy in essence. This energy brought us here from reality and endowed our stationery tree with such incredible abilities..."

"Luminescent substance." Huo Xu said four words lightly.

Tang Lin paused, and then remembered that Fan Peiyang had said that Huo Xu had briefly joined the explorers.

The luminescent substance is exactly an unknown substance detected in all the blood samples of the passers-by who have returned to reality.

"Yes, that's it," Tang Lin said, "Explorers also suspect that this is an energy mark, and it is this energy that transports us between reality and the checkpoint world at will, preventing us from revealing owl system information in reality. , and even affect the tampering of the memories of people around us in reality.”

"I know all of this," Huo Xu didn't have a special expression on his face, "but what does it have to do with you having two stationery trees?"

Tang Lin was surprised by the precision and clarity of his focus.

For new partners who have difficulty digesting gossip events, but for the level world, they are very clear about what they already know and what they want to know, and their thinking will hardly be distracted by the person they are talking to.

This contrast, as well as his past as an explorer, all point to one thing—he cares about the truth of this world, very much.

Not every passerby is like this.

Many people just want to pass the checkpoint and go home successfully; more people don't even want to break the checkpoint, they just want to live safely in this weird world.

But Tang Lin wanted to know what the world was, so he was very happy, and so was Huo Xu.

The VIP captain showed the owl pattern on his arm to his partner, and shared his inference frankly: "If this is really an energy mark, then everyone has been marked the moment they are selected, similar to the factory setting But I’m different, I came in halfway, it’s like being stuffed into the assembly line halfway, and I’ve already passed the factory setting link, so I can only add another mark for me..."

"This mark is very similar to your mark, but because the time and method of hitting are different, it's like a separate small spot, so I reasonably suspect that there are still subtle differences between them, maybe because of the rush to make up, It is also possible that a BUG has occurred..."

"So," Tang Lin withdrew his arm, and concluded, "The night travel monster can't enter other people's bodies, but it can turn into energy and enter my owl logo, becoming the second stationery tree."

Huo Xu was silent for a long time, and nodded approvingly: "It makes sense."

Tang Lin was inexplicably relieved.

It's not easy to get a word of approval from a new teammate.

"Okay." Huo Xu raised his head, his eyes no longer had the previous thought and solemnity, and his expression was relaxed.

Tang Lin thought he was going to leave, and almost got up from the bed, when Huo Xu said: "Fan Peiyang treats you so badly, why did you fall in love with him in the first place?"

Tang Rin: "..."

"Oh yes, it's useless to ask you," Huo Xu said "I understand", "You have lost your memory."

Tang Lin had a headache, and she taught her partner earnestly: "When you change the topic in the chat, you have to give the other party a cushion to create a good interactive atmosphere, especially for you who repeatedly jump between topics A and B."

Huo Xu looked innocent: "Zheng Luozhu said that you are very smart and have a particularly fast mind."

Tang Rin: "..."

All right, let's just jump, he can keep up, otherwise he will live up to the praise of bamboo.

What is the new partner asking?

I remembered—Fan Peiyang treated you so badly, why did you fall in love with him in the first place?

The smile on Tang Lin's face paused, and slowly faded. He looked at Huo Xu seriously, and said, "It's not that he treats me badly, it's that we haven't found a correct way to get along."

Huo Xu was very skeptical about this statement: "Isn't it all accumulated as a 'trauma', that's why it was completely erased by [Intact as before]."

Tang Rin also thought this way, but as he spent more and more time with Fan Peiyang in the checkpoint, he gradually realized that this was not the case.

The memories that Demos dug out for him were all sad.

But Tang Lin believes that there must be happiness.

Fan Peiyang is in the checkpoint, and he can even die for him. With such a strong relationship, Tang Lin does not believe that there is no happy moment between the two.

"When two people are together, there are good times and bad times," Tang Lin said quietly, "The good ones and the bad ones are entangled together and cannot be separated." He smiled at Huo Xu, half joking and half serious, "So [Perfect as ever] I have the same temper with you, simple and straightforward, erase it all."

Huo Xu looked at him carefully for a while: "You really don't like Fan Peiyang now?"

Tang Lin said frankly: "There are some likes between friends, but other things are..."

"Then why did you let him kiss you when we played Guest.006?" Huo Xu seldom remembers a thing that has nothing to do with him so clearly. It was the scene of Fan Peiyang kissing Tang Lin's forehead that shocked him for 20 years. "Teammate view", although he has not had many teammates in total.

Tang Lin was stopped by the question, but Huo Xu still remembered it. She was at a loss for words for a long time before she managed to give an explanation: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't realize it..."

Huo Xu frowned, with disgust on his face: "It's dangerous for you to be so slow. If it's not Fan Peiyang, but any opponent who stabs you, you can't dodge it."

Tang Rin: "..."

In terms of crisis awareness, this and Mr. Fan should have a common language.

"Will you still be together?" Huo Xu belonged to the kind of personality that either I don't ask, or you don't let me know, but if you insist on letting me know, I have to ask clearly.

Tang Lin didn't think that the new partner had many questions. On the contrary, he liked Huo Xu's straightforwardness, so he gave the most honest answer: "I don't know," he said, "If I can get my memory back... "

"It's needless to say I found it," Huo Xu interrupted him shaking his head, "If you remember everything, you two must be together."

Tang Rin: "..."

Where does this confidence come from.

Huo Xu: "I'm asking if you never remember, will you still be with him?"

Tang Lin couldn't laugh or cry: "If I can't get back my old memories, it means I can't get back my old feelings. How can I be with him?"

"But Fan Peiyang didn't give up, right?" Huo Xu called up the high-definition picture of "Forehead Kiss" in his mind, carefully recalled it frame by frame, and finally confirmed that he judged it right, "He still looks at you strangely... er , sticky."

Before, Huo Xu collectively referred to those ambiguous atmospheres and Fan Peiyang's various subtle performances and reactions as "weird and strange", but after being popularized about the love-hate entanglement of the two men, he understood a little bit. See how awkward things are, even if you pull them, they will become greasy and crooked, and they will become sticky that won't melt away.As long as Tang Lin is there, Fan Peiyang's eyes will almost grow on him.

"..." Facing Huo Xu's simple and straightforward adjectives, Tang Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only resort to a trick, pretending not to hear, and keeping smiling.

Huo Xu was not as meticulous as he could be. Seeing that Tang Lin didn't seem to be able to answer, he just skipped it: "The last question..."

Tang Lin really hopes that the new partner will always maintain the good character of skipping without results.

"Actually, I've asked this question before." Huo Xu's eyes resurfaced with doubts, "These are all between you and Fan Peiyang, why do you have to tell me?"

"Because you are a VIP," Tang Lin said, "I don't want my partner to hear gossip about my family from others one day."

Huo Xu fell silent and stared at him for a long time.

Tang Lin smiled mischievously, and asked unexpectedly, "Why is your arm wrapped in bandages?"

Huo Xu was on guard for a moment: "Don't think that if you told me a lot of nonsense, I would tell you too."

Tang Lin smiled: "Okay, if you don't want to talk now, I won't ask." Then he changed the subject, "But you will want to tell us sooner or later."

Huo Xu: "... Absolutely not."

The new partner got up decisively, turned around and walked towards the door, unilaterally putting an end to this heart-to-heart talk.

Tang Lin watched off with a smile.

We've talked about everything we need to talk about. He is very satisfied with today's results. As for getting into the hearts of new partners, there will be a long way to go.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xu, who walked to the door, suddenly turned around: "By the way, you are the same."

Tang Lin didn't understand: "What?"

Huo Xu said: "The way you look at Fan Peiyang is the same as how he looks at you."

……

As soon as Huo Xu went out, he found someone beside the wall.

He hadn't come to Tang Rin yet, and the other party was obviously later, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.

Seeing him coming out, Fan Peiyang stretched out his hand quickly, and naturally propped up the door that hadn't had time to close, his expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.

The other party didn't speak, and Huo Xu was not interested in rushing to argue.It's just that I just finished chatting with Tang Lin. Now that he sees Fan Peiyang, he will inevitably let his imagination run wild.

Will this guy fall in love?

Huo Xu really couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in love with Fan Peiyang.

flirting?Tenderness like water?Acting like a baby... Huo Xu shivered, frightening himself.

Fan Peiyang looked at Huo Xu's running back, thinking that he should be the one who caused pressure and deterrence to the other party.

Mr. Fan is very satisfied with this.

In the room, Tang Lin finally relaxed and threw himself on the bed again.

This time he really didn't want to move a single hair. The hunter game + the road to the top of the mountain was exhausting his body like hell. He felt that he could sleep for two days and two nights now.

"Clap."

The sound of doors closing.

Tang Lin thought Huo Xu brought it outside, so she didn't care.

But soon, he heard footsteps entering the room.

Tang Lin was taken aback, and quickly sat up and turned around, the drowsiness disappeared.

It was only after seeing that it was Fan Peiyang that his tension relaxed.

The cloud outside the window dissipated a little, and a little sunlight penetrated through the cloud, penetrated into the window, and cast a small piece of light on the floor of the room.

After Fan Peiyang walked in, he happened to be standing in the warm and bright space.The candlelight in the room outlined his deep outline, and this bit of sunlight added a little tenderness to his sternness.

Tang Lin looked at such a pleasing Fan Peiyang, and there was only one thought in his mind - it was too difficult to sleep well.

The author has something to say: Mr. Fan: I wasted my position and appearance...
