Paper lover

A thunderbolt pierced the dark night sky, followed by the sound of crashing rain.

Three in the middle of the night.

Li Shuoxing, who was already asleep on the bed, seemed to feel the sound of thunder and rain.He frowned impatiently, shrunk his shoulders, hid his ears under the quilt, and continued to sleep peacefully.

In and out of the game, the weather is synchronized.

The same thunder and rain tore the same black curtain.

On the bed in the bedroom, Su Mingqian, who was sleeping properly, seemed to be uneasy.

His brows were slightly frowned, his expression fluctuated, and some expressions similar to joy or anxiety began to appear on his face...

Suddenly.

A gleam of light flickered.

Spots of light like fireflies fluttered in the dark night, gradually converging in one place, and then like a light cloud, and like a layer of tulle, lightly landed on Su Mingqian's mind.

Two shimmering words appeared.

Dreaming (3/5)

Entering the dream for the third time, the official arrival!

I do not know how long it has been.

When the sound of rain outside the window changed from splashing to pattering, the person sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

The fluorescent light covering Su Mingqian's mind suddenly dissipated, and the person lying on the bed looked at the gray ceiling, his light-colored pupils showed a little daze and confusion.

After a while, Su Mingqian sat up from the bed.

He had a little headache, and it seemed that there was a needle hidden in his mind, poking his nerve lightly.

But he didn't care about this at all. He pressed his forehead and tried hard to think about what he dreamed when he was sleeping just now.

Dreams mean nothing to ordinary people.

But it's different for him.

He has lost his memory and no longer has the past. All the past he knows now comes from the indoctrination of this world.

These are all told by others.

But the dream is his.

Everything in the dream was all he thought of!

"Remember quickly, remember quickly. I still remember what kind of dream I had just now. I remember..."

While muttering to himself, Su Mingqian's chaotic mind gradually became clear.

He remembered that he was in a room full of machines, facing a black screen, and the surrounding was very quiet. There seemed to be white text flashing on the black screen.

He still remembers—

still remember--

A word?

"...can humans program God?"

Su Mingqian read this sentence out.

When the words passed through his lips and fell into his ears, goosebumps erupted from his body.

But when he wanted to explore this sentence more deeply, those scattered pictures disappeared again, and the thick white mist and emptiness surged up again, and he was in it, and he couldn't touch anything.

Su Mingqian stayed on the bed for a while, then got up and walked quickly to the lounge.

There was a faint light source in the lounge.

The light source comes from the bookshelf.

Up there, the travel journal is glowing.

Before Su Mingqian walked to the bookshelf, he couldn't wait patiently for Ximu to go online, so he took off the log and opened it with his breath.

A photo caught his eye.

The photo is the back view of a man, who is in a room almost similar to his dream.

Many large and small machines.

A black screen.

A man typing on a screen.

This is me.

Su Mingqian did not mistake his figure.

What am I doing at this time?

Su Mingqian stared at the man with his back facing the camera, and then his eyes slowly fell to the text under the photo:

"He's just born and doesn't know anything. He has a lot of learning every day. His ability to learn is amazing. He also loves to chat with me. Of course, I love to chat with him."

"We talk in the dead of night. I tell it stories of things that happened to me, and it surprises me with curiosity. I can't help but talk a lot, maybe too much. But it doesn't matter.

"Because I love it.

"All of us loved it."

Su Mingqian's fingers slid across the words.

He read and read the few short lines.

Finally, he raised his head, faced the void, and asked:

"Is it you?"

The deep voice fell, and a faint light began to emerge.

The light screen that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of Su Mingqian.

The cursor began to flicker in the light screen.

Then, a word appeared.

System: "Yes."

Black and white, simple.

Su Mingqian looked at the light screen in front of him, and countless questions circled in his mind. There were many questions he wanted to ask, but the first thing he blurted out was the sentence: "Why did I appear here?"

System: "You had some accidents."

Su Mingqian immediately asked: "What kind of accident?"

system:"……"

Su Ming asked modestly, "Can't you tell me?"

System: "You will remember it yourself."

In the dark night, Su Mingqian's face was dyed pale by the light overflowing from the light screen.

He still has a lot of questions, but looking at this sentence, he feels that there is no need to ask these questions.

It's right.

What I wonder, what I want to know, will eventually be remembered bit by bit.

That's the past I've found.

Su Mingqian accepted this answer.

He decides to end the conversation.But before that, there is one last question.

Su Mingqian didn't want to wait for this question, he hoped to get an answer.

Su Mingqian: "Is it a coincidence that I met Ximu?"

System: "No. It's fate."

A little silence.

Su Mingqian curled the corner of his mouth.

Light and a smile flowed on his face together.

***

The next day, the sky was gloomy. Although it didn't rain, the ground and buildings were still wet, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. It looked like a lazy place that hadn't dried up after the rain, urging people to fall back to sleep.

Li Shuoxing, who had just woken up, yawned and struggled for a while between getting up and going back to sleep. He didn't choose either, and he chose to play the game.

Human adaptability is infinite.

Today, he is not only able to calmly accept the doll named "Star" by Su Mingqian, but also begins to give full play to his subjective initiative, buying small furniture with Su Mingqian to decorate the doll's living area.

Today is the same, Li Shuoxing entered the game, first said hello to Su Mingqian, then opened the system store to scan the goods, and then went to the lounge to place his new purchases on the doll's side one by one. beside.

A red soup pot flew up, and another yellow microwave oven flew up.

Su Mingqian, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze with a travel log, turned his head and saw all kinds of colorful and candy-colored kitchen items flying randomly in the air.

He looked at it for a while, then asked, "Ximu."

Li Shuoxing: "Huh?"

Su Mingqian: "Why do you buy so many kitchen utensils for Xingxing?"

Li Shuoxing kept his hands on his hands: "What is lacking, what to make up for. I am looking forward to the fact that I can cook in reality, but this wish may not be fulfilled in this life, so let's live a dry addiction here..."

After finishing speaking, there was another burst of kitchen utensils flying around.

Then Xing Xing stood in his own small kitchen, with an apron on his body, a kitchen mask on his head, holding a frying pan with eggs in one hand, and a milk carton in the other.

Li Shuoxing also dubbed him: "Good morning, everyone can come and have breakfast."

Su Mingqian looked at it for a while: "Ximu, I think Xingxing is super cute." He paused, and then said, "Do you think I'm cute?"

Li Shuoxing replied decisively: "My cub is the cutest in the universe."

Su Mingqian chatted: "Dolls are really cute. The cuteness of the stars in my eyes is the same as the cuteness in your eyes. After all, they are all cute."

Li Shuoxing corrected: "That's still a little different. Your shape is——"

He stopped suddenly.

The little toy in his hand dropped.

He realized what Su Mingqian said just now, and he slowly turned his gaze to Su Mingqian.

"That, baby..."

Su Mingqian: "Huh?"

He looked calm, as if he had understood everything.

He has indeed understood everything.

Li talked about Xingfang, and tried to find a way out of the routine: "Azai, calm down, calm down, listen to me, although you are a cute two-dimensional figure in my eyes, but you are The aura in my heart is 1.8 meters!"

Su Mingqian listened quietly, feeling a little helpless:

Ximu was really a little naive, and just set out his words casually.

In the future, I have to protect Ximu from being cheated at will.

At the same moment, Li Shuoxing, who was racking his brains to comfort the villain, suddenly heard a notification from the system.

This sound is different from all previous sound effects, louder and more solemn.

[System: Congratulations to the player for unlocking the hidden mission of [Window that Opens Out]. 】

[System: The hidden mission is [True]: Players need to make their lovers aware of their environment and existence, and they must not make their lovers collapse. 】

[System: The player has completed the prop [window that opens outward] to use the precondition, does the player use the prop?whether】

Li Shuoxing was stunned.

He couldn't believe what he saw.

The hidden task of a game is to make the villains in the game realize the real world and find themselves in an unreal world?

What's going on here, how could there be such a hidden mission arranged by the game, this is contrary to the concept of the game itself to create a virtual world...

Li Shuoxing was full of thoughts at the moment.

Amidst the complexity, he subconsciously clicked "Yes".

But after the selection, the system did not start running directly, but jumped out of the second selection.

[System: The item [window that opens outwards] will allow lovers to leave the game. Does the player use the item?Please choose carefully.whether】

After clicking "Yes" once, Li Shuoxing's mind has been settled.

He clicked again without hesitation, and said to the system: "It's useless to play the option box another 100 times, my choice will not change, just click, let me see how the item is used."

Su Mingqian heard the voice, he asked doubtfully, "Ximu?"

Li Shuoxing: "Cub, do you still remember the window that opened outwards? Now that the hidden condition is fulfilled, we can use this thing. I just chose to use it. Let's see what kind of effect it will have. -"

He had just finished speaking, and before he had time to see Su Mingqian's reaction, several lines of prompts popped up on the screen.

[The system will start updating in 5 minutes. 】

[The system is expected to be updated within 24 hours. 】

【Please arrange your time reasonably, bid farewell to your lover, and log off in time. 】

Li Shuoxing: "..."

Li Shuoxing really couldn't help but give You the middle finger.

But in the same way, 100 middle fingers can't stop the game update, so Li Shuoxing had no choice but to tell Su Mingqian about the matter, and took advantage of the last time to comfort and encourage the villain repeatedly before leaving the game reluctantly.

The next second, Li Shuoxing suddenly jumped up from the bed.

Zai Zai is leaving the game.

And he hasn't prepared anything yet!

***

the next morning.

Li said Xingshou was in front of the phone.

The day had passed and he was fully prepared.

He packed up his things, asked someone to do a big cleaning, and then ran out to buy a special set of small furniture for Zai Zai.

Although he had many delusions before, Li Shuoxing also understood in his heart that if Zai Zai really fell out of the phone, wouldn't reality literature suddenly become supernatural literature?

but……

Still fantasizing.

What if!

Now, he counted the seconds, waiting for the 24-hour countdown to end.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Li Shuoxing raised his finger, and he was about to click on the simple pink pink APP icon on the screen.

Sudden.

The icon trembled.

The pink heart opens a slit.

Li Shuoxing: "???"

He watched the gap get bigger and bigger, and the pink heart opened on the screen of his mobile phone like a pink window.

Then, a head popped out of it.

Su Mingqian poked his head out from the app. He first looked down at his hands, then raised his head and looked left and right on the screen. His soft hair swayed gently beside his cheeks.

He opened his mouth.

No sound.

A text bubble appeared above his head.

Su Mingqian: "Ximu, I'm coming out."

Su Mingqian: "Nishi, are you there~"

Then Su Mingqian squeezed out of the small window with a little effort, and he landed on the browser APP located directly below the Love Bar app.

The distance between the two apps is a bit large.

His body swayed a bit, then he stood still.

Then he raised his head again and looked around.

One after another, huge APP icons appeared in his sight...
