Idle People

This day Tang Feng waited until he accidentally fell asleep clutching his phone, but Gu Xu never sent a message.

In the end, Tang Feng turned over in the middle of the night and knocked off the quilt and woke up from the cold.

Glancing at the still silent cell phone, Tang Feng was completely sleepless.

The dormitory was very quiet, Liu Jianyu obviously fell asleep long ago, Tang Feng didn't dare to turn on the light, worried that he would disturb the other party, so he crawled to the bed in the dark, and reached out to fish for the game helmet on the desk.

The official suggestion is that it is best not to use it on the bed in order to avoid damage to the device, but in fact there are very few players who strictly abide by the precautions.Pressing the power button of the computer, Tang Feng changed the direction of the pillow, put on the helmet and lay down again.

Anyway, I don't feel sleepy, why not go to the game to deal with the order tasks that have been broken out in the past few days.

After Momen’s organization A person was exposed, the business of Momen’s branch in Chang’an has become several times more prosperous than before—they used to be busy for half a day because they didn’t have materials for the organization they wanted to build, but now they worry about too many materials to deal with. not finished.

It is said that Zhejinqianzhi has already begun to consider the issue of enrollment expansion.

After going online for half a day, I was planning to go straight to the guild warehouse, but just after taking two steps, the system suddenly prompted that there was a private chat message.

The real time is now three o'clock in the morning, and there are still people alive at this time among friends?

Half a day away, he checked the message in astonishment. On the sender's side, the two big characters "Blood River" almost blinded his eyes.

"Why did you come to the game at this time?" Xuehe asked.

Shouldn't I ask you this question?You are capable of playing games, you are capable of sending me a text message!

For a moment, Ban Rixian really wanted to imitate a spoof video found on the nostalgia forum some time ago and roar towards the blood river.

Although he rationally restrained this impulse in the end, he was not too willing to answer Blood River's question.

So I took half a day to ask questions instead of answers, "Why are you still playing games at this time?"

"Can't sleep." I don't know if I noticed the little mood of being idle for half a day, but Xuehe replied calmly, "Shall we go to the map together?"

not good.

He answered the other party subconsciously in his heart, but in actual actions, Ban Zhexian agreed to Xuehe's team-up invitation.

"If I still go to a place like Shadow River, I'd rather be in a daze on the tower of Chang'an City." Half a day leisurely put forward the prerequisite.

Going to a ghostly place in the middle of the night, even if it's just a game, it feels bad!

It took Xuehe some time to answer this time: "Then go to Lingxiao Waterfall."

Looking at the rushing waterfall under his feet for a long time made people feel dizzy, half a day leisurely took a step back cautiously, and looked at the preoccupied Blood River.

He rarely saw such an obvious troubled expression on Xue He's face.

After waiting and waiting, Xuehe didn't see any initiative to explain, so he coughed and asked after half a day, "Mr. Lin is very objection?"

Xuehe seemed to remember that there was someone standing beside him.

Looking at the worry that couldn't be hidden in Ban Zhai Xian's eyes, Xue He shook his head and said, "No."

***

Earlier.

Gu Xu didn't expect that the words he blurted out would be "plan to spend the rest of his life with him".

He is only in his thirties now, and the topic of a lifetime feels like a long time.In his plan, he just wanted to convey to Mr. Lin that he and Tang Feng were in love with each other.But when the words came to his lips, he said that without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, a wave of fluctuation finally appeared on Mr. Lin's calm face.

Gu Xu thought that after confessing his sexuality, he might be questioned or even blamed by the teacher, but Mr. Lin's reaction was not in the situation he imagined in advance.

Elder Lin was neither angry, sad, nor smiling, and immediately expressed his blessings.

The vicissitudes of life carved by the years only had a serious expression at this moment.

"Forever..." Finally, Mr. Lin repeated Gu Xu's words in a light tone, "Do you know how heavy this word is?"

Gu Xu didn't speak, but he answered with a calm and direct look at the other party.

After looking at each other firmly for a while, Elder Lin and Gu Xu sighed softly, as if chatting after dinner, started a topic that seemed completely irrelevant to the current situation.

"I remember you asking me before why I didn't get married," he said.

Gu Xu was stunned when he heard this.

This question was probably asked during his freshman or sophomore year of high school. At that time, he just felt that the teacher was lonely and would inevitably be inconvenient. It would be better to have a teacher's wife to take care of him.Later, Mr. Lin didn't answer, so he didn't ask.But at this time, the other party brought up the old matter again...

Elder Lin looked at Gu Xu with soft eyes, his expression changed from bewildered to puzzled, and finally frozen into surprise.

"I was like you when I was young." Elder Lin smiled, and slowly told the past that had been sealed in his heart for many years, "At that time, this circle was still a gathering place for perverts from the outside world. I knew someone who wanted to talk to him For those who grow old together, we endured the pressure around us and lived like ordinary couples for a few years."

Gu Xu didn't know what to say at this moment.

It's one thing to guess in your heart, but it's a completely different feeling to hear the teacher admit it.

There seemed to be some kind of power in the dark that prompted him to ask: "What happened next?"

"Later he died, on the way back to his hometown, in a car accident." Mr. Lin said, his eyes were out of focus, "He told me he was going on a business trip, and I didn't suspect it. When I received the call from the traffic police, I thought it was someone else. Wrong call...To this day, I don't know whether he wants to end this relationship without telling me to go back to his hometown, or to try again to persuade his family to accept us."

Gu Xu was silent.

He thought that this question must have been lingering in Mr. Lin's mind for many years, but the person who might have given him the answer had already gone to the world of the dead.

Finding that the atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, Elder Lin suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Oh, I'm so old, I didn't tell you this to reminisce... What I want to tell you is that although I may have to I didn't know the truth until the day I died, but I promised to spend the rest of my life with that person. He's gone, and I didn't find anyone else. If you say that you are going to spend the rest of your life with that child Tang Feng, you must You have to have the corresponding consciousness.”

"Of course." Gu Xu replied without hesitation.

"I didn't expect that you would walk the same path as me when you grow up." Elder Lin patted Gu Xu's shoulder with emotion and stood up, "I look very good at Tang Feng, just enough to make up for your withdrawnness." A taciturn character. But his family probably doesn’t know about it yet, right? Don’t unilaterally decide that you’re going to do something reckless. Now that you’ve decided to be together, don’t treat him as an ignorant child just because he’s a few years younger than you. Everything is discussed and done. People like us, unlike heterosexuals, will not have children and grandchildren, but only each other, so we need to support each other even more."

Gu Xu clearly felt the other party's concern for him from the teacher's words, and nodded silently.

***

The faint warmth from his hand pulled Xuehe out of his memories.

Looking at the hands of the two intertwined for a long time, he said word by word: "I can't tell the family about us right away like you confessed to Mr. Lin. But I will let them know slowly. And keep fighting until they agree...don't you worry."

Xuehe was speechless.

Why did the comforted person turn into himself?

He wanted to say that he wasn't worried, but before he said the brave words, the words of old Lin's warning sounded in his mind.

There is nothing to be ashamed of supporting each other and showing your partner your vulnerability.

Raising his hand and pinching Ban Zhe Xian's face, Xue He smiled and said, "Well, I feel much more relaxed after hearing what you said."

"Is your gesture of expressing gratitude not right?" Ban Rixian stared.

"Do you need to be thankful? Who are we to whom?" Xuehe said.

After speaking frankly about your feelings, are you still acting like a rascal?

Tonight's blood river has changed so much that Ban Tianxian thought about going offline to find Hongchen, the writer, to slap himself hard a few times to verify whether he was dreaming.

"At least we are luckier than the teacher. One of the parents of both parties has already agreed." Xuehe said, not forgetting to convey the words of Mr. Lin, "The teacher asked me to take you to his house to play on weekends. Said that I was too bored. Being alone with me affects his mental health."

Half a day's gossip said with a laugh, "I will definitely go."

The two got bored in the game for a while, and the result was that when they wanted to go offline to sleep, the writer Hongchen and others went online one after another.

Seeing that Xuehe and Bantianxian are both online, the writer Hongchen automatically judges that the storm has passed and the world is at peace.

So he started clamoring to quickly formulate a plan to lure snakes out of the cave against the masked party.

For half a day, he reluctantly climbed to the teahouse with his eyelids open, and listened to the writer Hongchen explain the method he realized in his dream, "I thought about it yesterday, we are old acquaintances with the masked party, it is too difficult to deceive them .So, it's time to add some new extras."

……

In the dead silence, Konghua smiled unceremoniously and said: "Xiaohong, you think we are filming? As for the extras, where are you going to find them? The members of our gang must not be able to do it. If you spend money to hire, you don’t know if the other party is reliable.”

A certain nickname made the veins on the forehead of the writer Hongchen twitch, "Isn't it necessary to play a show to deceive them? Where did I say it wrong! It's because it's hard to decide on the candidate, so I'm calling everyone to discuss it!"

Maybe it was the strong desire for sleep that stimulated the inspiration cells. I dozed off like a chicken pecking rice for half a day, and while listening to the bickering between Hongchen and Konghua, the writer, I suddenly thought of a few people.

"Ah, those three we met in the gap between the setting sun that time..."

Hearing Ban Tianxian's speech, the writer Hongchen let go of the hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, and frowned suspiciously, "Which three?"

"Oh, I remembered!" Heng Dao, who finally found a chance to interject, clapped his face happily, "It was to bombard them for three thousand miles! Remember? The students in Class [-] were playing games together and were killed by the masked party. only the group of three left."

After such a reminder, the others showed expressions of sudden realization.

The group of students who bombarded Sanqianli didn't have much contact with Ban Rixian and the others except for that unexpected collaboration, so it's not easy to arouse the vigilance of the masked party.And they have a large number of people, and they can reasonably explain how the information about refreshing a certain BOSS in a certain place came from...

Konghua tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Who added them as friends? Get in touch."

The six looked at each other.

Experts like Xuehe and Konghua, in order to avoid harassment, the option of "Allow to add friends" has always been cancelled; The habit of friends who keep in touch with each other... After the last round, the only thing keeping in touch with Bombard Sanqianli is the countdown.

"I will occasionally practice leveling with them during this time." The countdown countdown, which instantly filled up the lack of presence in the past, met the surprised eyes of others, and explained calmly——
