midnight ten

"Talk to him?" Fan Peiyang stepped out of the light and shadow, came to the bed, and pulled away the stool at the end of the bed that Huo Xu had just sat on.

Tang Lin thought that he would also sit down, but Fan Peiyang pulled the chair aside, went forward and sat by the bed.

Because of Fan Peiyang's arrival, the bed trembled slightly.

Sitting in the middle of the bed, Tang Lin felt an illusion from this subtle body sensation, as if he had become a boat, swaying slightly with Shiba.

Such a gentle trance is comfortable, but short-lived.

Looking at each other, Tang Lin came back to his senses: "I said it. I told you about the terminal illness, your wish to let me in, and the speculation about the two stationery trees."

"That's all?" Fan Peiyang's probing eyes were full of suspicion, obviously not very relieved.

Of course it's more than that, but Tang Lin believes that Fan Peiyang must know more than that.I knew it in my heart, but I had to let him say it himself, Tang Lin had nothing to do with such a persistent Fan Peiyang.

"Also, we have been in a relationship, I am now amnesia, the Demos Temple assessment, and all the things you don't want him to know, but if you don't tell them, it will affect the logical coherence." Tang Lin finished speaking in one breath and asked, "You Are you sure now?"

"En." Fan Peiyang really nodded.

Tang Lin couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt relieved.

The past page between him and Fan Peiyang has already been turned, and he doesn't want to focus on who is right and who is wrong, happiness or pain every time he mentions it.He hoped that it would be like this now, that it could be treated as a past event, that it could be talked about loosely, or it could be accepted naturally.

As soon as a person relaxes, sleepiness will take advantage of the void and come back.

Tang Lin couldn't hold it back, and yawned big, his eyes getting steamy.

Fan Peiyang suddenly wanted to kiss those eyes, just like many early mornings in the past.

Tang Lin, who just woke up, also has such a pair of watery eyes, which looks very obedient and a little confused.It is often that the person is pressed down and kissed by him before the person can react.At that time, Tang Lin's eyelashes would tremble slightly under his lips, itchy and seductive.

But now, he can't do anything.

It's not because Tang Rin forgot those things, but he just realized now that in those wonderful moments he thought, only his own mood was clearly in his memory. What Tang Rin was thinking at that time, whether he was happy or sad, was completely blank.

He didn't know and didn't think about it.

After Tang Lin yawned, she realized that Fan Peiyang was looking at her seriously and engrossed.

Tang Lin was suddenly a little nervous, and belatedly realized that the room was too small.Just sitting like this, Fan Peiyang filled the whole space with a sense of oppression.

There is always one more person, but when Huo Xu was around, he didn't feel this way.

However, Fan Peiyang didn't do anything out of the ordinary. After watching him quietly for a while, he just asked, "Tired?"

Tang Lin blinked her eyes blankly, a little embarrassed by her self-confident nervousness.But fortunately, he thought, Fan Peiyang is not careful, so the embarrassment is closed in his heart, and he doesn't have to worry about being teased by President Fan.

The whole person was completely relaxed, Tang Lin drooped his shoulders, put his elbows on his legs, tilted his head and rested his chin on one hand, and exhaled wearily: "I'm so tired—" The protracted ending is full of true feelings , "I feel that after I fall asleep next time, I can sleep until three days later, and the level will open."

Fan Peiyang had never seen Tang Lin who was so bluntly complaining about suffering and tiredness, and suddenly felt fresh: "This is the first time I hear you complaining like this."

"I don't think so," Tang Lin said in a subtle tone, reminding me friendly, "When I climbed the steps before, I seemed to have just finished complaining about how tiring I was working with my partner."

Fan Peiyang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Working overtime leads to stomach ulcers, staying up late until hypoglycemia?"

Tang Lin was happy: "It's okay, I remember it very clearly, it means I went to my heart."

"Then I'll correct it." Fan Peiyang corrected quickly, "It's not the first time I heard you complain, but before I came here, when we were still working together, I never heard you complain."

Tang Lin stopped smiling.

Fan Peiyang: "Since you endured so hard, why didn't you tell me?"

Tang Lin was silent.

Fan Peiyang didn't give him any chance to pretend to be stupid: "I'm talking about work with you, not about relationship, don't say you forgot."

"...Has anyone ever said that your chasing and aggressive personality is really difficult to get along with?" Tang Lin glanced at him angrily.

"I didn't have it before, but now I have it." Fan Peiyang said, "All my negative. Negative. Comments. All come from you."

It was obviously an objective statement, and the other party's tone didn't fluctuate, but Tang Lin always felt that he heard a little bit of grievance.

"Okay," Tang Lin gave up resisting, and muttered in a low voice and quickly, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Fan Peiyang was confused by the nonsensical words: "What?"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Lin looked at Fan Peiyang and confessed his heart for the first time: "I remember everything about work, but I never forgot. At that time in the company, I was really tired and worked hard to keep up with your thoughts and your thoughts. The required efficiency, but I don’t want you to know. So many friends are looking for you to partner, but you choose me. I don’t want one day, you regret that you chose the wrong one.”

Fan Peiyang was stunned there.

He never knew that Tang Rin thought so.

Tang Lin confessed everything on impulse, and then turned his eyes away.Over the years, he has clearly cultivated enough to be calm and calm enough, but when it comes to those childish and silly feelings back then, it is inevitable that he is still a little embarrassed.

But all this is in the past.In the next few years, he and Fan Peiyang had a more tacit understanding at work. He didn't have to chase after him, and he could cooperate with Fan Peiyang with ease.Tang Lin attributed it to his own learning and growth. Of course, he is also very grateful to Mr. Fan for not slipping further and further on the road of non-human work intensity...

His hair was suddenly messed up.

Tang Lin interrupted his thoughts and stared blankly at Fan Peiyang's big hands raging above his head.

Tang Lin touched the heads of his subordinates, partners, and juniors, but this was the first time he was touched by others.

It was obvious that Fan Peiyang's movements had nothing to do with gentleness, and he rubbed his hair in a mess, but the warmth from his palms made Tang Lin slightly drunk, as if he had returned to the swaying boat again, and stepped on the cotton-like clouds.

"Don't be me." He heard Fan Peiyang say, "I agreed to partner with you, not because you and I have the same ideas and work habits, on the contrary, because you are different from me, because you are Tang Lin .”

"...You didn't tell me this." Tang Lin felt inexplicable emotions in his heart.But after finishing speaking, he was suddenly a little uncertain, "Or you said it, but I forgot?"

"I didn't say that." Fan Peiyang gave a clear answer, but he had to pull Tang Lin into the water, "You didn't say that you always take me as an example."

Tang Rin: "...I haven't said that yet."

Fan Peiyang stroked Tang Lin's hair again, and then reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Anyway, don't learn from me, just be yourself."

Tang Lin was amused: "Are you finally realizing who you really are?"

Tang Lin realized that Fan Peiyang on the opposite side was very quiet when the ending sound with a smile dissipated.Neither the embarrassment of losing face nor the unhappiness of being teased, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with a calm expression, but there was something deeper in her eyes.

Tang Lin said quickly: "You must never say that you want to change."

Surprise flashed across Fan Peiyang's face, because Tang Lin guessed right.But he didn't understand: "Since you also think my character is bad, why don't you let me change it?"

"Because if you change it, you won't be you anymore." Tang Lin said, "Do you still remember the memories that Demos peeped into? If you force yourself to change, you will become me at that time, and then like me, the more you I'm getting more and more unhappy..."

"No one is worthy of you." Tang Lin looked at Fan Peiyang seriously and said.

Fan Peiyang shook his head firmly: "It's not about changing, it's about learning. I don't want to change myself, I just want to learn how to love you."

Tang Rin: "..."

Fan Peiyang: "But I don't guarantee that I can learn all of them."

The strangeness that had just arisen in Tang Lin's heart disappeared in an instant: "You really always leave a way out for yourself."

"Then you teach me," Fan Peiyang stared at him intently, "you teach me, I promise to learn everything."

Tang Lin sighed: "You forgot, I also failed."

Fan Peiyang was dumbfounded.

Two scumbags on the road of love sat on the same bed and looked at each other, silent and with complicated emotions.

The air was quiet for a long while before Fan Peiyang asked, "What were you thinking when you unlocked the second stationery tree?"

"You are going to die, what else can I think about," Tang Lin said without thinking, "Of course I want to save you."

"That's it," Fan Peiyang nodded approvingly, "You have me in your heart."

"..." Tang Lin is already familiar with this robber's logic, "I have you in my heart, because you are my most important friend..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone grabbed him and kissed his forehead.

"It's like this between friends?" After the kiss was over, Fan Peiyang relaxed slightly, but didn't let go completely, and just looked at him closely.

Tang Lin: "...If you attack suddenly again, I will use [Wolf Shadow]."

Fan Peiyang: "When I kissed you, how did you feel?"

Tang Rin wanted to say that he didn't feel it, but in the next second, he caught a trace of unhidden expectation and anxiety in Fan Peiyang's seemingly calm eyes.

Tang Rin suddenly didn't want to lie anymore.

"I don't know." He gave Fan Peiyang the most truthful answer in his heart.

Looking at each other quietly, Fan Peiyang's expression eased, the corners of his mouth did not rise significantly, but Tang Lin knew that he was smiling.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Lin asked inexplicably.

Fan Peiyang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I thought you would say 'I don't feel it'."

Tang Lin's heart beat wildly: "What if I said so?"

Fan Peiyang's voice lowered, with a hint of hoarseness: "Then I'll kiss you until you feel it."

Tang Rin: "..."

Fan Peiyang: "You are blushing."

Tang Lin: "Fan Peiyang."

Fan Peiyang: "Huh?"

Tang Lin: "The door is over there."

"boom--"

This is the second time Mr. Fan has been kicked out of the room.

The first time was when the wishing house just came home, he didn't know that Tang Lin lost his memory, and tried to have a lively communication from body to soul, but was thrown out of the door.

But the two moods were completely different.

At that time, Fan Peiyang was like a person who just fell into a dark tunnel. He couldn't see or touch anything, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where to go.

This time, he was still walking in the tunnel, but there was light ahead.He saw the road, saw himself, and saw Tang Lin.

……

At midnight three days later, 45 passers-by gathered in the banquet hall, waiting for the opening of the pass.

<Cheat Sheet> did not specify where the checkpoint was, so they had to wait in the only familiar public area.

In fact, in the past three days, everyone basically rested and did not do much training. One is to restore physical strength, and the other is that the rooms in the castle are not equipped with "training rooms" like the Water World Hotel or the 3/10 assembly area.

Some passers-by who are more self-disciplined and self-trained are quite critical of this, but they can't change the settings here. They can only adapt to local conditions and choose some remote places in the castle as temporary training grounds.

Of course Huo Xu belongs to this group, and is the most diligent one among this group of people. He not only trains himself [-]/[-], but also develops the site all over the castle. The owl system sternly warned three times before giving up.

Zheng Luozhu and Yue Pangpang joked that he wanted to demolish the castle.

Tang Lin felt that he was "exploring", but he was a little calmer than the crazy "explorer", at least within the range allowed by the castle, and when the warning was approaching the limit, he stopped immediately.

It's a pity that there is nothing special in those broken doors.

During the three-day rest period, Zheng Luozhu came to Tang Lin once.Without opening his mouth, Tang Lin also understood what his partner meant, because from the 3/10 assembly area, to the hunter game, and then to the road to the top of the mountain, the same thing had been repeated three times.

[Wolf Shadow] In the castle, Shi Fangze's homework was tracked.

Still the same, Lang Ying tracked down the target, but when he got to the fourth floor, he couldn't go up again.

Above the fourth floor is the checkpoint area, which is exactly the same as when Lang Ying ran to the checkpoint when he was tracking in the 3/10 assembly area.

If there is no one in the checkpoint area, Shi Fangze is not at 6/10, but at a later checkpoint.

Tang Lin wanted to comfort his partner, but Zheng Luozhu cheered himself up. He was really gearing up, and his eyes lit up: "There are only four levels left, and the range is getting smaller and smaller. I have a hunch that we will find it soon." .”

Tang Lin looked at his fist and asked uncertainly, "Are you trying to beat someone?"

"Must," Zheng Luozhu said unequivocally, "If you dare to make me look for it for so long, a beating would be cheap!"

Tang Rin: "..."

I hope that classmate Shi can endure such a "warm and joyful" reunion moment.

"Cuckoo-"

The long-lost hooting of an owl came from a distant place outside the castle.

Outside the banquet hall, the sound of mechanical linkage suddenly sounded.

Everyone walked out of the banquet hall following the sound, and saw that the narrow corridors and dark stairs disappeared, and the rooms they lived in also disappeared. Looking around, it was an open space with a ceiling more than ten meters high, like a building on the first to fourth floors. The lower half of the castle, except for the banquet hall, has been opened up into one space.

Just when everyone was surprised, the center of the towering ceiling suddenly opened.

A huge hourglass is slowly lowered.

The lower part of the hourglass fell to the ground, and the thinnest part in the middle happened to be stuck on the ceiling, while the upper part of the hourglass was completely hidden from the ceiling, the upper part of the castle.So it looks like half a gigantic hourglass stands in the center of the field of vision.

The fine sand kept falling, covering the bottom of the hourglass with a thin layer.

All the passers-by looked at each other in blank dismay, when a notification sounded from their arms.

"Ding--"

<Cheat Sheet>: Please enter the checkpoint [Hourglass Elevator] and arrive at the upper level of the castle [Checkpoint Area].Friendly reminder: Once the hourglass stops, the elevator will automatically stop running, and those who fail to enter the checkpoint will be deemed as failed to pass the checkpoint.Hurry up and enter the level as soon as possible!
