Fiber and Uncle
Chapter 3
Who is Zhong Wei?
Staring at the sentence on the screen that was written in normal style, but was abnormally enlarged in his eyes at this moment, Xia Guangxian was speechless for a moment and almost forgot to speak.
However, the other party seemed unable to feel Xia Guangxian's surprise, and continued to speak calmly.
Uncle Xinchao: You already know who I am, right?When "coffee" was mentioned last time, I suspected it was you.
coffee?
It was just that I associated Mr. Mendai with this serious "trendy uncle" in the game, talking nonsense and pretending to be a kind greeting.At the beginning, when "Uncle Trendy" didn't respond, Xia Guangxian thought that the other party didn't like this topic, so he quickly changed his mind to mention the novice task.
Uncle Trendy: The first time I met you controlling this character, I wasn't sure yet.
This blond youth?
It's just random characters, Xia Guangxian has no special preferences.
It's just that Xia Guangxian continued to use it in order to keep in touch with "Uncle Xinchao".
As a game creator, Xia Guangxian can even change his ID at any time.
Uncle Trendy: Why did you break up?
……separate?
Uncle Xinchao: You know it's me, why do you keep helping me?
I just wanted to say how could someone be so strange and dull, so I came to help!
Xia Guangxian fluently responded to every statement of "Uncle Xinchao" in his heart, but his hands on the keyboard remained silent for a long time.
As if frustrated by the delay in reply, "Uncle Xinchao" typed the last sentence and stopped speaking.
Uncle Xinchao: Maybe you have other difficulties and don’t want to tell me.Thank you for taking me to experience the fun of the game. It is enough to know that you are safe.
After reading the speeches on the screen repeatedly, Xia Guang first roughly figured out the clues.
That Zhong Wei sounds like a man's name, and I feel that this "Uncle Trendy" is indeed an uncle, so if Zhong Wei is not a woman, another possibility is... This "Uncle Trendy" is gay, and I was mistaken for him broken up lover.
However, compared to knowing this amazing fact, what Xia Guangxian cares more about is the feeling of "Uncle Trendy" saying goodbye.
According to Xia Guangxian's understanding of the "fashionable uncle" these days, this serious uncle must be afraid that his existence will cause trouble to the lover who broke up, so he decided to leave as the last consideration.
It wasn't until the moment of parting that Xia Guangxian suddenly discovered that the only connection between him and "Uncle Xinchao" was "World of Wild Beasts".
Once you cut the cord, there's nothing left.
The half-true jokes, the sweetness when asking for warmth, and the anticipation of the lights on the friends list will all end with the end of the game.
Xia Guang didn't want to let go.
Pure little angel: Don't leave me.
As if struggling for the last time, Xia Guangxian reacted almost subconsciously, sending out the deepest expectations in his heart.
Uncle Xinchao: Zhongwei, have you changed your mind?
Xia Guang could see how much expectation was behind these words.
Know more about the loss that is difficult to dilute when expectations fail.
Pure little angel: I'm sorry to make you worry.
The moment the words were sent, Xia Guang couldn't explain his behavior at the moment, whether it was to not disappoint a serious uncle, or out of his own selfishness.
Uncle Xinchao: I am very happy that you are willing to come back.
Seeing the reply from "Uncle Xinchao", Xia Guang first knew that he was in trouble.
Such a move really made "Uncle Trendy" stay.
However, from then on, Xia Guangxian had to spend more time to realize this big lie.This is no problem for Xia Guangxian, who is always used to making jokes. It is commonplace to ambiguously mention or change the subject.
What's more, the opponent is a serious uncle who doesn't know how to joke.
On the sidelines, Xia Guang first had a general understanding of the reason for the breakup between "Uncle Xinchao" and his lover, as well as the normal relationship between them.
Uncle Xinchao: Zhongwei, when are you going home?
Whenever "Uncle Trendy" raises similar questions, Xia Guangxian always has a way of saying it.
Pure Angel: I'm really happy that you started playing online games for me.
Pure little angel: But when you go back, you may not be able to play with me anymore.
Pure Little Angel: Let's create more game memories!
On the surface, it is an excuse to deal with the "trendy uncle", but it is more for myself.Xia Guangxian couldn't predict when the other party's real lover would appear, and he didn't know when the lie would be exposed, so he could only grasp the current time of getting along.
Uncle Xinchao: It’s okay, I will always wait for you.I'm not around, take care of yourself.
Unconditional tolerance, complete trust, and unreserved care are what Xia Guangxian has always wanted but never had.
This made Xia Guangxian even more resolute and unscrupulous in wanting to continue to own it.
In front of "Uncle Xinchao", Xia Guangxian can say anything, but he can't tell the truth; Xia Guangxian can do anything, but he can't be himself.
This kind of tense situation, which is step by step, afraid that one inattentive will cut off the connection between the two, is painful for Xia Guangxian, who has always been happy with himself.
It's a pity that Xia Guangxian has not yet discovered that he is happy with this pain.
What's more, I didn't realize that the inexplicable pain that gradually fermented came from some real emotion in my heart.
As the level increases, the tasks you face become more and more difficult. You have to spend a lot of time to solve the tasks with basic combat skills and no good equipment.
Even if Xia Guang tries his best to accompany and assist him first, he has to rely on himself for many tasks, so he can only watch "Uncle Xinchao" work hard.
One time, "Uncle Xinchao", who was online almost every day and even stayed up late to solve tasks, actually didn't go online after two or three days, which made Xia Guangxian a little worried.
After a question, "Uncle Trendy" explained that "I've been staying up all night playing video games recently, and my body is a bit stressed."
For Xia Guangxian, games are work, but for "Uncle Trendy", they are entertainment.
Considering that the other party is an office worker with a regular life and a different schedule from his own, Xia Guangxian immediately decided to get a set of equipment for "Uncle Trendy".
Using the bluffing reason of "wanting to experience the thrill of killing monsters for players to find inspiration from it", I got special equipment from the company that can only be obtained by Gacha. Unexpectedly, during the transaction, I encountered a situation where the other party "did not know the goods".
It was only after the equipment was actually traded that in a blink of an eye, the priceless "Cat Fist Series" equipment was thrown on the ground, instantly attracting many surrounding players to approach.
Players who recognized the value of the equipment came to join in the fun, and some spoke enviously, but more people rushed over immediately, wanting to pick up the lost treasures.
Fortunately, Xia Guang picked it up first and sent out the secret word.
Pure little angel: Don't you like the equipment I gave you?
Uncle Xinchao: There is no place, so throw it on the ground first.
Pure little angel: It will be picked up by others, so give me the things on your body first, and clear the place to put the equipment!
I saw that the column of "Uncle Trendy" was full of iron nails, monster hairs, expired mission scrolls, cheap animal skins, novice clothes and other garbage that novices would collect, things that were worthless and took up space.
Pure little angel: Hurry up and put on the equipment, I really want to see it!
After Xia Guang finished speaking first, he threw the sundries that had just been traded on the ground, but saw "Uncle Xinchao" rushing over and seemed to want to pick them up.
Pure little angel: what are you doing?
Uncle Trendy: Afraid others will pick it up.
I saw "Uncle Trendy" like a wild beast declaring its territory, standing next to a pile of debris that other players regarded as garbage, and picking them up after putting on equipment.
Uncle Xinchao: Fortunately, there was time.
The bearded uncle also seemed to make a gesture of laughing complacently.
Xia Guangxian, who witnessed this wonderful scene, suddenly burst out laughing:
"Hahahaha, why is this uncle so cute!"
Xia Guang first suppressed his trembling body from laughing, and sent the message.
Pure little angel: Well, as expected of an uncle, his hands and feet are so neat!
Thinking that the novice uncle who can't judge the value of the item is very likely to accidentally sacrifice the high-end equipment he gave him in the future due to lack of space, Xia Guang first decided to act first, and remind him.
Pure little angel: No matter what happens in the future, don't throw away the things I gave you, or I will be sad!
By choosing a sad action, Xia Guang knew that the uncle would be shaken by it.
Uncle Xinchao: This is the first time I receive a gift from you, I will definitely keep it well.
First time gift?
That Zhong Wei is too stingy!
Uncle Trendy: I'm really happy, Q.
Seeing the happy appearance of "Trendy Uncle" because of a set of virtual treasures, he did not forget to make up the way of thanking Xia Guang first taught, which made the original anger for Uncle's injustice instantly turn into a strange feeling that is hard to let go.
He obviously doesn't understand the value of treasures, but just because it's the first gift he received, he can't stop being happy. He's really a pure uncle.
However, the happiness of "Uncle Trendy" is not because of himself.
Thinking of this, Xia Guangxian reacted swiftly like an optical fiber, and immediately retreated to the slowness of dialing up the Internet.
Until "Uncle Trendy" asked about young people's preferences, Xia Guangxian immediately returned to his old hippie smile.
In order to prevent the other party from noticing his abnormality, he quickly resumed the sentence similar to the jealousy of the lover.
Of course, he got the clumsy explanation from "Uncle Trendy", but the sweet words that seemed to make his lover happy made Xia Guangxian have mixed feelings.
Not wanting to waste his brainpower helping the uncle to make the young man happy, Xia Guang first recommended a famous dessert shop on the Internet: "Banana Town" according to his own preferences.
Xia Guangxian has always wanted to try that legendary dreamy dessert - the "explosive banana" with white chocolate spraying out from the front of the bite.However, during the last company meeting, the dessert that the person in charge promised to prepare did not appear on the table.
Singing "Where is the promised banana" sadly, the other party stuffed a real banana over, which made people unable to let go for a long time.
I don't want to be cheap for others!
With a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, Xia Guangxian deliberately suggested another legendary nightmare dessert: "Durian Chocolate Cake".
Convinced that "Uncle Trendy" will definitely consider his suggestion seriously, Xia Guangxian is fully expecting the uncle's reaction when the time comes.
However, at this moment, Xia Guangxian didn't know that the durian that he hated first in his life, and the durian-related products that he hated second, would eventually make him pay an unforgettable and painful price because of this unintentional prank.
Recently, Dai Shu seems to have changed a bit.
When a colleague asked Dai Shu, who had dark circles under her eyes and rushed home as soon as the time came unless she was working overtime, what she was up to recently, she got a confusing answer: "I'm working on a revision. "
No matter the tone or expression, they are full of unquestionable seriousness.
Without waiting for further inquiries from colleagues, the legendary shopping mall elite disappeared from everyone's sight at a pace that could not be caught up. Even A Chao, the convenience store manager who met every morning, asked worriedly:
"Mr. Dai, you don't seem to have slept well, are you too busy with work?"
In A Chao's eyes, Dai Shu is an office worker who lives without entertainment and takes his work seriously.
In order to maintain his image, Dai Shu, who is not good at lying, could only nod ambiguously, thanking Chao for his concern.
Since meeting Zhong Wei in the game, what Dai Shu looks forward to the most every day is the moment when he enters the "World of Wild Beasts".Whenever she sees Zhong Wei caring about her with the ID of "pure little angel", Dai Shu feels a burst of comfort, and the days seem to go back to the time when the two lived together sweetly.
Dai Shu really wants to return to the two-person world with Zhong Wei as soon as possible, but whenever the question about reality is raised, the other party always has various reasons to delay.
"Maybe he's not ready yet."
Hiding the uneasiness in his heart, Dai Shu always convinced himself like this.
In fact, Zhong Wei in the game is different from reality.
He never laughed at Dai Shu's old-fashioned or clumsy, and often took the initiative to ask for his health, always accompanied him patiently, and cared about Dai Shu's feelings.It is very easy to get along with Zhong Wei on the Internet, he is not as willful as before, he has to be taken care of everywhere.
I still remember Zhong Wei once mentioned that online games are often revised and updated, just to attract more players.
So, are they also "revised" when they reunited through "World of Wild Beasts"?
In the past, the relationship between the two was like a cup and a jug.Zhong Wei is a water glass with a hole in it. He always asks Dai Shu for whatever he wants like a bottomless pit, and there is never a day when he is satisfied.However, the kettle can only hold a fixed capacity, and unilaterally pays endlessly, leaving only the empty container in the end.
Dai Shu thought he was a discarded water bottle, and never thought that the water cup would be rewarded one day.
When Dai Shu received the "Cat Fist" equipment from Zhong Wei, he was not only flattered, but also moved beyond words.
The gift she received for the first time will be kept well. This is Dai Shu's solemn promise.
After receiving the gift, Dai Shu suddenly thought of the young man across the street who went out to work alone and didn't know much about housework.
Since the last time we met at a convenience store, we haven't met each other again, and I was so busy playing games that I almost forgot to express my gratitude to the young man for his concern last time.Originally wanted to give a thank you gift, but no one could offer advice, and I was afraid that giving a gift rashly would not appeal to young people.
Remembering that Xia Guangxian was about the same age as his lover, it was rare for Dai Shu to initiate the conversation.
Uncle Trendy: Zhong Wei, what do young people like?
Pure little angel: What?Want to give me a present?
Uncle Xinchao: There is someone I have always wanted to thank, but I don’t know what to give.
Pure little angel: Do you have a new date?
Uncle Trendy: No, I only have you.
Dai Shu hurriedly clarified, so as not to misunderstand her lover.
Pure little angel: Recently, it was said on the Internet that a dessert shop called "Banana Town" in the East District is very popular, and young people love it.It takes more than two hours just to queue up, and no appointments are accepted.
Pure little angel: I heard that "Durian Chocolate Cake" is the most popular flavor, that person will be very happy to receive it!
Durian Chocolate Cake!
Just looking at the name, Dai Shu felt that it was definitely not his favorite taste.
However, Xia Guangxian, who has a completely different personality, should like this kind of unique taste, right?
I asked a young colleague of the company about "Banana Town", and the other party was surprised that he was interested in sweets, so he kindly reminded him to line up early.
So Dai Shu got up early on the weekend and went directly to "Banana Town".
"Banana Town" is a youthful shop with many yellow decorations, and the banana-shaped counter is quite unique, displaying various products in the store.
In the crowd of people queuing up, they were all young people who were much younger than him. Dai Shu stood in it, looking out of place.This kind of embarrassment reminded him of the situation when he stepped into the young business circle to help his lover buy a flowered shirt.
Since the queue started shortly after opening, and the crowd had not yet reached its peak, it was Dai Shu's turn after waiting for about an hour and a half.
"Please give me a 'Durian Chocolate Cake'."
The lady at the counter showed surprise, but she recovered quickly and said with a smile, "Our cake has a strong durian smell, is it acceptable?"
Thinking that Zhong Wei's recommendation must be correct, Dai Shu nodded firmly.
"Then, why don't you bring one of our shop's signature 'Bananas'?"
Thinking about it being recommended by others, it seemed embarrassing to refuse, so Dai Shu accepted the clerk's suggestion.
It was already noon when we got home, thinking that Xia Guangxian should have woken up by this time, so Dai Shu tried to ring the doorbell opposite.
"..."
no response.
"It can't be that you're still asleep, is it?"
Dai Shu pressed a few more times, and kept his finger on the doorbell longer, trying to attract the attention inside.
Just when Dai Shu was about to give up, the door suddenly opened.
Xia Guangxian, who casually wore a T-shirt whose neckline was washed loose and only boxers on his lower body, appeared in front of his eyes with disheveled hair.
"It's so early in the morning, what's the matter..."
Xia Guang leaned against the door first, with a dazed expression as if he had just woken up, and his voice was weak.
"sorry for disturbance."
Dai Shu apologized first, but when he saw the sleepy Xia Guangxian, he couldn't help but add:
"To be precise, it's already noon."
Hearing this serious response, Xia Guangxian slightly opened his closed eyes, and when he caught a glimpse of Dai Shu's face, he smiled weakly at the corner of his mouth.
"It's best not to open the door when you're not in a good mood. What if you run into a bad guy?"
Finding that the other party had only seen his face clearly now, Dai Shu said seriously.
"What if the bad guy keeps ringing the doorbell and makes me lose my mind?"
As if deliberately teasing, Xia Guang first asked with a smile.
"……sorry."
After thinking about the answer in silence for a while, Dai Shu finally heard what the other party meant, and bowed his head in apology.
Perhaps it was because Dai Shu, who bowed his head and apologized, looked too pitiful, or Xia Guangxian, who had just woken up, was kinder, so he easily let Dai Shu go and changed the subject:
"Mr. Dai, what's the matter?"
Dai Shu was taken aback for a moment, then raised the paper bag in his hand and said:
"I'm sorry, I just came to express my thanks now. I heard from the store manager that Mr. Xia is actually not a store clerk there. You paid for the food."
Xia Guangxian just stared at the bag of "Banana Town", didn't seem to listen to the words, and murmured:
"That's great... I want it too..."
"Mr. Xia?"
Feeling the naked longing in the young man's eyes made Dai Shu feel a little terrified.
"what?"
As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Xia Guangxian's body shook.
"This one is for you."
These words made Xia Guangxian's eyes widen in an instant, showing a happy smile that even Dai Shu could see, and he quickly grabbed the hand holding the bag and pulled it in.
Before he could react to the sudden pull, Dai Shu tripped over the shoes scattered on the floor in the entrance, and fell onto Xia Guangxian.
Fortunately, it didn't flash to the waist...
This was Dai Shu's first reaction.
The sudden accident made Xia Guang subconsciously prioritize food protection.Wrapping one hand around Dai Shu's waist, the pulling hand goes upwards, perfectly protecting the food beside his face.
The bag of "Bananacho" shook slightly and stopped without any damage.
At this time, Dai Shu showed the posture of throwing himself into the arms of a bird, and Xia Guangxian was in a state of passionate embrace with all kinds of care. The fit of the two's movements was so natural, as if their bodies should be so close.
The sudden onslaught of body temperature made each other instinctively absorb this nostalgic and nostalgic temperature.
Realizing that his feet were straddling Xia Guangxian's body, Dai Shu, embarrassed, tried to back away from Xia Guangxian, and finally stood up.After confirming that the cake was safe, he was shocked by the surrounding scene.
"……Landfill?"
The sofa in the living room is full of clothes that have not been washed for an unknown number of days, the coffee table is full of food remains, and the floor is full of books of unknown content. Everything is out of order.
"Oh, you found out my little secret."
Xia Guang got up first, looked at Dai Shu's shocked expression, scratched his head and smiled indifferently.
When Dai Shu came back to his senses, he was already sitting at the rarely clean dining table with a paper bag of "Banana Town" on it, and Xia Guangxian who was looking forward to it was sitting opposite him.
"Don't worry, this is the cleanest place in the family, because I don't cook."
Although Xia Guangxian was talking to Dai Shu, his eyes were fixed on the bag in front of him, barely drooling.
Compared with the entrance and the living room, the dusty dining table is indeed much cleaner.
Thinking of the miserable situation just now, Dai Shu felt trembling for a while. Dai Shu decided to take everything just now as an illusion, finish his business and leave here quickly, so he got up and took out a box of eight-inch cakes, and said:
"I heard that this is the popular "Banana Town" dessert recently. It is not a valuable item. I want to express my heart and hope you can accept it."
"Great, I just want to eat!"
Xia Guangxian raised his hands and cheered like a child, but his excited smile turned stiff the moment Dai Shu opened the box.
"'Durian Chocolate Cake', I hope you like it."
"……!"durian?
The unique smell of durian bursts into the nostrils. Dai Shu, who can't accept this smell, frowned slightly, but he finally endured it when he thought that this was the gift the other party was looking forward to.
"I hesitated for a long time before. I didn't know what to give you. I was afraid that you would not like it."
It's really durian!
Not aware of Xia Guangxian's delicate state of mind at the moment, and even regarded that stiff smile as too happy, Dai Shu continued to add insult to injury and said:
"Fortunately, Mr. Xia seems to like eating cakes. This is eight inches, and you can taste it slowly by yourself."
Why durian!
Seeing Dai Shu's serious expression and polite attitude, the corners of Xia Guangxian's mouth twitched slightly, and he stretched out his hand under the table, as if he was holding back something, and paused for a few seconds before opening his mouth and saying:
"Haha, Mr. Dai is too polite, I'll just take one piece, and I'll give you the rest!"
Obviously just in order to taste the cake, he dragged him into the house like crazy, but now he is so polite, Dai Shu can't help thinking that Xia Guang is not as rude as he imagined.
Dai Shu shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Honestly, I don't really like cakes. Besides..."
Taking out the "Explosive Banana" wrapped in transparent cellophane from the bag, Dai Shu continued:
"I already have this. The clerk sold it to me. It seems to be called 'Popping Banana'. It's weird."
What responded to him was Xia Guangxian's slightly strange expression, which seemed to be filled with... envy?
Noticing that Xia Guangxian was always staring at the "explosive banana" in his hand, and had not eaten his favorite eight-inch cake for a long time, he speculated that the other party probably wanted to enjoy it slowly when he was alone, so Dai Shu left first.
Before leaving, Dai Shute lowered his head and stared at the floor, unwilling to see the home environment of the suspected homeless man again.
Of course, he didn't notice Xia Guangxian's crying face behind him.
Hello players:
"World of Wild Beasts" will shut down the server for a major revision starting at [-]:[-] noon on Saturday, and the expected start time is [-]:[-] pm.Due to the large content of the data, it is inconvenient to download, please go to convenience stores across the province to purchase the revision package update for the smooth progress of the game.Sorry for any inconvenience caused, thank you.
Sincerely, ××× Online Game Company
Dai Shu, who finally got over his worries, returned home and wanted to tell Zhong Wei about the incident online and thank him for his proposal, but found that the game only popped up the political announcement and could not log in.
Only then did I feel that I had changed the version, but I didn't expect that the game was also going to be revised?
Seeing the words "Please buy a revised package", Dai Shu judged that it should be something that Zhong Wei often bought before.Just happy that there is a convenience store nearby where you can buy it, but thinking of how Ah Chao thinks of him, Dai Shu can't say frankly that he wants to buy a revised bag.
Dai Shu, who was worried too much, even thought... Convenience stores are a chain, especially the store managers will exchange information with each other. Even if they go to other stores to buy, if it is reported back to A Chao, will they look down on him?
Due to various face considerations, Dai Shu was unable to make a decision for a long time.
If Zhong Wei was at home, he would not have to worry about the outside world, even if he bought more bags, he would not be laughed at.
While muttering his lover's name, something flashed through Dai Shu's mind.
These days, I have been used to meeting Zhong Wei in the game every day. Since the other party doesn't seem to want to mention the recent situation, and as long as they enter the "World of Wild Beasts", the two can chat and contact each other, so Dai Shu didn't ask Zhong Wei about it. message.
But Dai Shu actually forgot that Zhong Wei did not leave any contact information when he left.
The only channel of communication between them is "Wild Beast World".
If there is no way to enter the game, and Zhong Wei is unwilling to take the initiative to contact Dai Shu in reality, without the medium of the game, the two will have no intersection.
Obviously, he only needs to take a few more steps to reach the other party's location, but he wants to miss this opportunity?Dai Shu began to think seriously, face or lover, which one is more important?
On Monday morning, when I was about to enter the convenience store, I saw a revised advertisement for "World of Wild Beasts" posted outside the store, and there were even stickers on the bookshelf inside the store.The bearded man in a floral shirt on the poster happened to be the character that Dai Shu usually plays.
Dai Shu couldn't help but be attracted by it, and stared at the advertisement silently, with the same serious expression as when he was working.
The battle between heaven and man has begun in your mind, should you reach out and buy the modified package of "World of Wild Beasts"?
"Hi~ Chao. Oh, Mr. Dai is here too, what's the matter?"
A familiar frivolous tone sounded from behind.
Xia Guangxian still dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, leaned over to Dai Shu, bent down and pointed at one of the books, teasing with a subtle expression:
"I didn't even know that Mr. Dai liked this. In fact, if you need it, you can borrow it from me next time."
It was only then that Dai Shu discovered that under the revised poster of "World of Wild Beasts", there was a row of restricted-rated magazines with hot and sexy girls printed on them.
Dai Shu's face instantly turned livid.
I don't have the slightest interest in the flesh of the opposite sex, let alone buy such a magazine full of skin color, but... I can't explain why I would rather buy macho magazines than read this, right?
Not wanting to be classified as the same kind by the frivolous guys, Dai Shu quickly took off the "Wild Beast World Political Edition Bag" and put it on the counter imposingly, the volume was enough for Xia Guang who was leisurely approaching to hear it first.
"I want to buy this."
As if frightened by Dai Shu's rare tough attitude, Ah Chao, who helped Dai Shu serve Americano coffee as usual, was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"It turns out that Mr. Dai also plays "World of Wild Beasts"? This is a great game, very popular among young people."
Hearing "Among the Young People", Dai Shu secretly blamed himself for being indecisive. He is almost old and confused, and he still follows the trend of young people.
However, under the leadership of Zhong Wei, I really felt the attraction of "World of Wild Beasts".
This kind of contradictory mood made Dai Shu eager to tell the truth, but afraid of being laughed at, so he could only tell the words he practiced and recited last night.
"...Well, cough, it's relatives and children clamoring to play. I don't know much about this..."
The high-quality store manager, Ah Chao, showed a friendly smile, finished the check neatly, and handed the invoice and change to Dai Shu with a calm face.
"Then, if you have any questions about "World of Wild Beasts", you can ask Xiaoxia."
Perhaps it was because he had finally satisfied his recent desire. Seeing Ah Chao's amiable smile, Dai Shu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and subconsciously replied:
"Don't worry, I should be familiar with it."
Noticing Ah Chao's slightly stunned expression, Dai Shu was startled when he accidentally slipped his tongue.Before A Chao could react, Dai Shu nodded, wanting to leave the convenience store as quickly as possible.
"If I had known that Mr. Dai also liked "The World of Wild Beasts", we could have talked more."
Secretly seeing Dai Shu's embarrassing expression, Xia Guangxian with a smile in his charming peach eyes, first picked up the "Wild Beast World Revision Package" for Dai Shu, and then gently handed the things back to Dai Shu.
"Actually, no matter which one you want to buy, don't be shy!"
Xia Guangxian's teasing voice whispered softly in Dai Shu's ear.
The embarrassment of being discovered made escaping reality the only choice for Dai Shu.Before leaving the store, Dai Shu pretended to be calm and said to Xia Guangxian beside him as if he finally remembered the words he had practiced before:
"This is for relatives and children to play with, not me."
After finishing speaking, Dai Shu hurriedly left, trying to avoid any response from the other party.
However, through the corner of his eye, Dai Shu seemed to vaguely see...
There was an intriguing smile on the corner of the young man's lips.
"……How is this going?"
After get off work, Dai Shu immediately went home to update the game.
Taking advantage of the long installation time, Dai Shu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then exhaled slowly, as if to cheer himself up.The shaking heart gradually calmed down with the adjusted breathing, Dai Shu desperately recalled the appearance of Zhong Wei in his memory, and planned to persuade him to come back this time, and leave his contact information.
After the installation, Dai Shu couldn't wait to start the game, and found that the login screen had become more beautiful.
After entering the familiar account number and password, Dai Shu finally re-entered this once strange but now full of expectation online world.
However, the picture that appeared in front of him wiped out the expectation on Dai Shu's face.
"Uncle Trendy" is completely naked, not only all the equipment on his body has disappeared, but all the props in the storage space have also disappeared.
nothing is gone...
The only gift that Zhong Wei gave him: "Cat Fist Series Equipment", just disappeared.
How should he explain to Zhong Wei?
"Could it be... the computer is poisoned?"
Dai Shu, who has no experience in the online game "stolen account", does not know what "reporting to the official handling" is at all. The only possibility that can be thought of is that the computer is poisoned.
"I need to fix the computer quickly."
You have to hurry up and get in touch with Zhong Wei again.
Since the two lived together, he was busy with work and neglected each other, and the interaction between them decreased day by day. It was not until they broke up and reunited online that they regained that feeling.
No, the interaction these days has even surpassed the previous feeling...
Zhong Wei in the game is very patient with himself. I wonder if it is because he is in the game he likes?They have things they like in common, topics to talk about, and the warmth of being with each other.
Pulling out the computer warranty card attached by the store, Dai Shu, who had not changed out of his suit, carefully carried the not-so-light mainframe on his shoulders and wanted to go out.However, he encountered a little difficulty when going out: he couldn't lock the door while carrying the host.
Dai Shu had no choice but to temporarily put the main unit by his feet, took out the key and locked the door.Just because of the few minutes of delay, he encountered the most embarrassing situation by chance.
"Huh? Mr. Dai is going out again?"
The elevator door behind him opened at some unknown time, and inside was Xia Guangxian who was smiling and biting a buttered bread.
"……yes."
Seeing the big boy with a casual smile in front of him, Dai Shu didn't want to explain more, but just confirmed that the door of the house was locked, and planned to pick up the host and leave quickly.
The last thing he wanted to face was Xia Guangxian's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.
"What's wrong with Mr. Dai's main computer? Broken?"
However, the God of Destiny did not give up teasing Dai Shu. Xia Guangxian quickly approached with bread in his mouth, slightly bent his knuckles and knocked on the shell of the main unit, tilting his head to show Dai Shu a curious look.
Helplessly sighing in his heart, Dai Shu lacked the courage to ignore people, so he nodded hesitantly, and replied lightly:
"It seems to be poisoned."
"Poisoned? Aha, could it be that you downloaded something ulterior...Uh, I'm joking, Mr. Dai, don't take it seriously."
Xia Guang couldn't help but show a joking tone habitually, but saw Dai Shu's serious face getting more and more dignified, so he had to raise his hands high in surrender, showing a sincere confession.
When Dai Shu looked a little calmer, Xia Guangxian, who was good at observing words and expressions, stopped Dai Shu in a friendly tone, and said again with that sincere and trustworthy warm eyes:
"Mr. Dai, don't worry, I can fix small problems like computer poisoning faster and better than the store."
Grasping the other party's mind has always been Xia Guangxian's specialty, and Dai Shu's anxious attitude can be seen, guessing that there are important work materials in the computer, so he is so anxious, right?
Dai Shu immediately fell into deep thought when he heard this, as if he was choosing between a dilemma.
Do you want to trust this young man in front of you?
still……?
Xia Guangxian couldn't deny that he was poisoned by the "Durian Chocolate Cake" tea. Based on a mentality of revenge, he went to the convenience store early to find opportunities to make his uncle happy.
After encountering an uncle who bought the "Revised Pack of Wild Beasts" by chance, Xia Guangxian began to have different ideas.
A week ago, when "Uncle Trendy" asked young people what they liked, he casually suggested that "Durian Chocolate Cake" would make the recipients happy... The next day, I received one myself.
An eight-inch "Durian Chocolate Cake" that scares people to death!
Such a coincidence, if it was really a coincidence, would be too bizarre.
When Xia Guangxian received the cake, he was still drowsy and didn't realize that such a coincidence was so unreasonable.After thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is just like a wishing well that is too effective, even if it is a prank wish that I said casually, it is so taken seriously by the other party.
Xia Guangxian can't wait to think
Staring at the sentence on the screen that was written in normal style, but was abnormally enlarged in his eyes at this moment, Xia Guangxian was speechless for a moment and almost forgot to speak.
However, the other party seemed unable to feel Xia Guangxian's surprise, and continued to speak calmly.
Uncle Xinchao: You already know who I am, right?When "coffee" was mentioned last time, I suspected it was you.
coffee?
It was just that I associated Mr. Mendai with this serious "trendy uncle" in the game, talking nonsense and pretending to be a kind greeting.At the beginning, when "Uncle Trendy" didn't respond, Xia Guangxian thought that the other party didn't like this topic, so he quickly changed his mind to mention the novice task.
Uncle Trendy: The first time I met you controlling this character, I wasn't sure yet.
This blond youth?
It's just random characters, Xia Guangxian has no special preferences.
It's just that Xia Guangxian continued to use it in order to keep in touch with "Uncle Xinchao".
As a game creator, Xia Guangxian can even change his ID at any time.
Uncle Trendy: Why did you break up?
……separate?
Uncle Xinchao: You know it's me, why do you keep helping me?
I just wanted to say how could someone be so strange and dull, so I came to help!
Xia Guangxian fluently responded to every statement of "Uncle Xinchao" in his heart, but his hands on the keyboard remained silent for a long time.
As if frustrated by the delay in reply, "Uncle Xinchao" typed the last sentence and stopped speaking.
Uncle Xinchao: Maybe you have other difficulties and don’t want to tell me.Thank you for taking me to experience the fun of the game. It is enough to know that you are safe.
After reading the speeches on the screen repeatedly, Xia Guang first roughly figured out the clues.
That Zhong Wei sounds like a man's name, and I feel that this "Uncle Trendy" is indeed an uncle, so if Zhong Wei is not a woman, another possibility is... This "Uncle Trendy" is gay, and I was mistaken for him broken up lover.
However, compared to knowing this amazing fact, what Xia Guangxian cares more about is the feeling of "Uncle Trendy" saying goodbye.
According to Xia Guangxian's understanding of the "fashionable uncle" these days, this serious uncle must be afraid that his existence will cause trouble to the lover who broke up, so he decided to leave as the last consideration.
It wasn't until the moment of parting that Xia Guangxian suddenly discovered that the only connection between him and "Uncle Xinchao" was "World of Wild Beasts".
Once you cut the cord, there's nothing left.
The half-true jokes, the sweetness when asking for warmth, and the anticipation of the lights on the friends list will all end with the end of the game.
Xia Guang didn't want to let go.
Pure little angel: Don't leave me.
As if struggling for the last time, Xia Guangxian reacted almost subconsciously, sending out the deepest expectations in his heart.
Uncle Xinchao: Zhongwei, have you changed your mind?
Xia Guang could see how much expectation was behind these words.
Know more about the loss that is difficult to dilute when expectations fail.
Pure little angel: I'm sorry to make you worry.
The moment the words were sent, Xia Guang couldn't explain his behavior at the moment, whether it was to not disappoint a serious uncle, or out of his own selfishness.
Uncle Xinchao: I am very happy that you are willing to come back.
Seeing the reply from "Uncle Xinchao", Xia Guang first knew that he was in trouble.
Such a move really made "Uncle Trendy" stay.
However, from then on, Xia Guangxian had to spend more time to realize this big lie.This is no problem for Xia Guangxian, who is always used to making jokes. It is commonplace to ambiguously mention or change the subject.
What's more, the opponent is a serious uncle who doesn't know how to joke.
On the sidelines, Xia Guang first had a general understanding of the reason for the breakup between "Uncle Xinchao" and his lover, as well as the normal relationship between them.
Uncle Xinchao: Zhongwei, when are you going home?
Whenever "Uncle Trendy" raises similar questions, Xia Guangxian always has a way of saying it.
Pure Angel: I'm really happy that you started playing online games for me.
Pure little angel: But when you go back, you may not be able to play with me anymore.
Pure Little Angel: Let's create more game memories!
On the surface, it is an excuse to deal with the "trendy uncle", but it is more for myself.Xia Guangxian couldn't predict when the other party's real lover would appear, and he didn't know when the lie would be exposed, so he could only grasp the current time of getting along.
Uncle Xinchao: It’s okay, I will always wait for you.I'm not around, take care of yourself.
Unconditional tolerance, complete trust, and unreserved care are what Xia Guangxian has always wanted but never had.
This made Xia Guangxian even more resolute and unscrupulous in wanting to continue to own it.
In front of "Uncle Xinchao", Xia Guangxian can say anything, but he can't tell the truth; Xia Guangxian can do anything, but he can't be himself.
This kind of tense situation, which is step by step, afraid that one inattentive will cut off the connection between the two, is painful for Xia Guangxian, who has always been happy with himself.
It's a pity that Xia Guangxian has not yet discovered that he is happy with this pain.
What's more, I didn't realize that the inexplicable pain that gradually fermented came from some real emotion in my heart.
As the level increases, the tasks you face become more and more difficult. You have to spend a lot of time to solve the tasks with basic combat skills and no good equipment.
Even if Xia Guang tries his best to accompany and assist him first, he has to rely on himself for many tasks, so he can only watch "Uncle Xinchao" work hard.
One time, "Uncle Xinchao", who was online almost every day and even stayed up late to solve tasks, actually didn't go online after two or three days, which made Xia Guangxian a little worried.
After a question, "Uncle Trendy" explained that "I've been staying up all night playing video games recently, and my body is a bit stressed."
For Xia Guangxian, games are work, but for "Uncle Trendy", they are entertainment.
Considering that the other party is an office worker with a regular life and a different schedule from his own, Xia Guangxian immediately decided to get a set of equipment for "Uncle Trendy".
Using the bluffing reason of "wanting to experience the thrill of killing monsters for players to find inspiration from it", I got special equipment from the company that can only be obtained by Gacha. Unexpectedly, during the transaction, I encountered a situation where the other party "did not know the goods".
It was only after the equipment was actually traded that in a blink of an eye, the priceless "Cat Fist Series" equipment was thrown on the ground, instantly attracting many surrounding players to approach.
Players who recognized the value of the equipment came to join in the fun, and some spoke enviously, but more people rushed over immediately, wanting to pick up the lost treasures.
Fortunately, Xia Guang picked it up first and sent out the secret word.
Pure little angel: Don't you like the equipment I gave you?
Uncle Xinchao: There is no place, so throw it on the ground first.
Pure little angel: It will be picked up by others, so give me the things on your body first, and clear the place to put the equipment!
I saw that the column of "Uncle Trendy" was full of iron nails, monster hairs, expired mission scrolls, cheap animal skins, novice clothes and other garbage that novices would collect, things that were worthless and took up space.
Pure little angel: Hurry up and put on the equipment, I really want to see it!
After Xia Guang finished speaking first, he threw the sundries that had just been traded on the ground, but saw "Uncle Xinchao" rushing over and seemed to want to pick them up.
Pure little angel: what are you doing?
Uncle Trendy: Afraid others will pick it up.
I saw "Uncle Trendy" like a wild beast declaring its territory, standing next to a pile of debris that other players regarded as garbage, and picking them up after putting on equipment.
Uncle Xinchao: Fortunately, there was time.
The bearded uncle also seemed to make a gesture of laughing complacently.
Xia Guangxian, who witnessed this wonderful scene, suddenly burst out laughing:
"Hahahaha, why is this uncle so cute!"
Xia Guang first suppressed his trembling body from laughing, and sent the message.
Pure little angel: Well, as expected of an uncle, his hands and feet are so neat!
Thinking that the novice uncle who can't judge the value of the item is very likely to accidentally sacrifice the high-end equipment he gave him in the future due to lack of space, Xia Guang first decided to act first, and remind him.
Pure little angel: No matter what happens in the future, don't throw away the things I gave you, or I will be sad!
By choosing a sad action, Xia Guang knew that the uncle would be shaken by it.
Uncle Xinchao: This is the first time I receive a gift from you, I will definitely keep it well.
First time gift?
That Zhong Wei is too stingy!
Uncle Trendy: I'm really happy, Q.
Seeing the happy appearance of "Trendy Uncle" because of a set of virtual treasures, he did not forget to make up the way of thanking Xia Guang first taught, which made the original anger for Uncle's injustice instantly turn into a strange feeling that is hard to let go.
He obviously doesn't understand the value of treasures, but just because it's the first gift he received, he can't stop being happy. He's really a pure uncle.
However, the happiness of "Uncle Trendy" is not because of himself.
Thinking of this, Xia Guangxian reacted swiftly like an optical fiber, and immediately retreated to the slowness of dialing up the Internet.
Until "Uncle Trendy" asked about young people's preferences, Xia Guangxian immediately returned to his old hippie smile.
In order to prevent the other party from noticing his abnormality, he quickly resumed the sentence similar to the jealousy of the lover.
Of course, he got the clumsy explanation from "Uncle Trendy", but the sweet words that seemed to make his lover happy made Xia Guangxian have mixed feelings.
Not wanting to waste his brainpower helping the uncle to make the young man happy, Xia Guang first recommended a famous dessert shop on the Internet: "Banana Town" according to his own preferences.
Xia Guangxian has always wanted to try that legendary dreamy dessert - the "explosive banana" with white chocolate spraying out from the front of the bite.However, during the last company meeting, the dessert that the person in charge promised to prepare did not appear on the table.
Singing "Where is the promised banana" sadly, the other party stuffed a real banana over, which made people unable to let go for a long time.
I don't want to be cheap for others!
With a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, Xia Guangxian deliberately suggested another legendary nightmare dessert: "Durian Chocolate Cake".
Convinced that "Uncle Trendy" will definitely consider his suggestion seriously, Xia Guangxian is fully expecting the uncle's reaction when the time comes.
However, at this moment, Xia Guangxian didn't know that the durian that he hated first in his life, and the durian-related products that he hated second, would eventually make him pay an unforgettable and painful price because of this unintentional prank.
Recently, Dai Shu seems to have changed a bit.
When a colleague asked Dai Shu, who had dark circles under her eyes and rushed home as soon as the time came unless she was working overtime, what she was up to recently, she got a confusing answer: "I'm working on a revision. "
No matter the tone or expression, they are full of unquestionable seriousness.
Without waiting for further inquiries from colleagues, the legendary shopping mall elite disappeared from everyone's sight at a pace that could not be caught up. Even A Chao, the convenience store manager who met every morning, asked worriedly:
"Mr. Dai, you don't seem to have slept well, are you too busy with work?"
In A Chao's eyes, Dai Shu is an office worker who lives without entertainment and takes his work seriously.
In order to maintain his image, Dai Shu, who is not good at lying, could only nod ambiguously, thanking Chao for his concern.
Since meeting Zhong Wei in the game, what Dai Shu looks forward to the most every day is the moment when he enters the "World of Wild Beasts".Whenever she sees Zhong Wei caring about her with the ID of "pure little angel", Dai Shu feels a burst of comfort, and the days seem to go back to the time when the two lived together sweetly.
Dai Shu really wants to return to the two-person world with Zhong Wei as soon as possible, but whenever the question about reality is raised, the other party always has various reasons to delay.
"Maybe he's not ready yet."
Hiding the uneasiness in his heart, Dai Shu always convinced himself like this.
In fact, Zhong Wei in the game is different from reality.
He never laughed at Dai Shu's old-fashioned or clumsy, and often took the initiative to ask for his health, always accompanied him patiently, and cared about Dai Shu's feelings.It is very easy to get along with Zhong Wei on the Internet, he is not as willful as before, he has to be taken care of everywhere.
I still remember Zhong Wei once mentioned that online games are often revised and updated, just to attract more players.
So, are they also "revised" when they reunited through "World of Wild Beasts"?
In the past, the relationship between the two was like a cup and a jug.Zhong Wei is a water glass with a hole in it. He always asks Dai Shu for whatever he wants like a bottomless pit, and there is never a day when he is satisfied.However, the kettle can only hold a fixed capacity, and unilaterally pays endlessly, leaving only the empty container in the end.
Dai Shu thought he was a discarded water bottle, and never thought that the water cup would be rewarded one day.
When Dai Shu received the "Cat Fist" equipment from Zhong Wei, he was not only flattered, but also moved beyond words.
The gift she received for the first time will be kept well. This is Dai Shu's solemn promise.
After receiving the gift, Dai Shu suddenly thought of the young man across the street who went out to work alone and didn't know much about housework.
Since the last time we met at a convenience store, we haven't met each other again, and I was so busy playing games that I almost forgot to express my gratitude to the young man for his concern last time.Originally wanted to give a thank you gift, but no one could offer advice, and I was afraid that giving a gift rashly would not appeal to young people.
Remembering that Xia Guangxian was about the same age as his lover, it was rare for Dai Shu to initiate the conversation.
Uncle Trendy: Zhong Wei, what do young people like?
Pure little angel: What?Want to give me a present?
Uncle Xinchao: There is someone I have always wanted to thank, but I don’t know what to give.
Pure little angel: Do you have a new date?
Uncle Trendy: No, I only have you.
Dai Shu hurriedly clarified, so as not to misunderstand her lover.
Pure little angel: Recently, it was said on the Internet that a dessert shop called "Banana Town" in the East District is very popular, and young people love it.It takes more than two hours just to queue up, and no appointments are accepted.
Pure little angel: I heard that "Durian Chocolate Cake" is the most popular flavor, that person will be very happy to receive it!
Durian Chocolate Cake!
Just looking at the name, Dai Shu felt that it was definitely not his favorite taste.
However, Xia Guangxian, who has a completely different personality, should like this kind of unique taste, right?
I asked a young colleague of the company about "Banana Town", and the other party was surprised that he was interested in sweets, so he kindly reminded him to line up early.
So Dai Shu got up early on the weekend and went directly to "Banana Town".
"Banana Town" is a youthful shop with many yellow decorations, and the banana-shaped counter is quite unique, displaying various products in the store.
In the crowd of people queuing up, they were all young people who were much younger than him. Dai Shu stood in it, looking out of place.This kind of embarrassment reminded him of the situation when he stepped into the young business circle to help his lover buy a flowered shirt.
Since the queue started shortly after opening, and the crowd had not yet reached its peak, it was Dai Shu's turn after waiting for about an hour and a half.
"Please give me a 'Durian Chocolate Cake'."
The lady at the counter showed surprise, but she recovered quickly and said with a smile, "Our cake has a strong durian smell, is it acceptable?"
Thinking that Zhong Wei's recommendation must be correct, Dai Shu nodded firmly.
"Then, why don't you bring one of our shop's signature 'Bananas'?"
Thinking about it being recommended by others, it seemed embarrassing to refuse, so Dai Shu accepted the clerk's suggestion.
It was already noon when we got home, thinking that Xia Guangxian should have woken up by this time, so Dai Shu tried to ring the doorbell opposite.
"..."
no response.
"It can't be that you're still asleep, is it?"
Dai Shu pressed a few more times, and kept his finger on the doorbell longer, trying to attract the attention inside.
Just when Dai Shu was about to give up, the door suddenly opened.
Xia Guangxian, who casually wore a T-shirt whose neckline was washed loose and only boxers on his lower body, appeared in front of his eyes with disheveled hair.
"It's so early in the morning, what's the matter..."
Xia Guang leaned against the door first, with a dazed expression as if he had just woken up, and his voice was weak.
"sorry for disturbance."
Dai Shu apologized first, but when he saw the sleepy Xia Guangxian, he couldn't help but add:
"To be precise, it's already noon."
Hearing this serious response, Xia Guangxian slightly opened his closed eyes, and when he caught a glimpse of Dai Shu's face, he smiled weakly at the corner of his mouth.
"It's best not to open the door when you're not in a good mood. What if you run into a bad guy?"
Finding that the other party had only seen his face clearly now, Dai Shu said seriously.
"What if the bad guy keeps ringing the doorbell and makes me lose my mind?"
As if deliberately teasing, Xia Guang first asked with a smile.
"……sorry."
After thinking about the answer in silence for a while, Dai Shu finally heard what the other party meant, and bowed his head in apology.
Perhaps it was because Dai Shu, who bowed his head and apologized, looked too pitiful, or Xia Guangxian, who had just woken up, was kinder, so he easily let Dai Shu go and changed the subject:
"Mr. Dai, what's the matter?"
Dai Shu was taken aback for a moment, then raised the paper bag in his hand and said:
"I'm sorry, I just came to express my thanks now. I heard from the store manager that Mr. Xia is actually not a store clerk there. You paid for the food."
Xia Guangxian just stared at the bag of "Banana Town", didn't seem to listen to the words, and murmured:
"That's great... I want it too..."
"Mr. Xia?"
Feeling the naked longing in the young man's eyes made Dai Shu feel a little terrified.
"what?"
As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Xia Guangxian's body shook.
"This one is for you."
These words made Xia Guangxian's eyes widen in an instant, showing a happy smile that even Dai Shu could see, and he quickly grabbed the hand holding the bag and pulled it in.
Before he could react to the sudden pull, Dai Shu tripped over the shoes scattered on the floor in the entrance, and fell onto Xia Guangxian.
Fortunately, it didn't flash to the waist...
This was Dai Shu's first reaction.
The sudden accident made Xia Guang subconsciously prioritize food protection.Wrapping one hand around Dai Shu's waist, the pulling hand goes upwards, perfectly protecting the food beside his face.
The bag of "Bananacho" shook slightly and stopped without any damage.
At this time, Dai Shu showed the posture of throwing himself into the arms of a bird, and Xia Guangxian was in a state of passionate embrace with all kinds of care. The fit of the two's movements was so natural, as if their bodies should be so close.
The sudden onslaught of body temperature made each other instinctively absorb this nostalgic and nostalgic temperature.
Realizing that his feet were straddling Xia Guangxian's body, Dai Shu, embarrassed, tried to back away from Xia Guangxian, and finally stood up.After confirming that the cake was safe, he was shocked by the surrounding scene.
"……Landfill?"
The sofa in the living room is full of clothes that have not been washed for an unknown number of days, the coffee table is full of food remains, and the floor is full of books of unknown content. Everything is out of order.
"Oh, you found out my little secret."
Xia Guang got up first, looked at Dai Shu's shocked expression, scratched his head and smiled indifferently.
When Dai Shu came back to his senses, he was already sitting at the rarely clean dining table with a paper bag of "Banana Town" on it, and Xia Guangxian who was looking forward to it was sitting opposite him.
"Don't worry, this is the cleanest place in the family, because I don't cook."
Although Xia Guangxian was talking to Dai Shu, his eyes were fixed on the bag in front of him, barely drooling.
Compared with the entrance and the living room, the dusty dining table is indeed much cleaner.
Thinking of the miserable situation just now, Dai Shu felt trembling for a while. Dai Shu decided to take everything just now as an illusion, finish his business and leave here quickly, so he got up and took out a box of eight-inch cakes, and said:
"I heard that this is the popular "Banana Town" dessert recently. It is not a valuable item. I want to express my heart and hope you can accept it."
"Great, I just want to eat!"
Xia Guangxian raised his hands and cheered like a child, but his excited smile turned stiff the moment Dai Shu opened the box.
"'Durian Chocolate Cake', I hope you like it."
"……!"durian?
The unique smell of durian bursts into the nostrils. Dai Shu, who can't accept this smell, frowned slightly, but he finally endured it when he thought that this was the gift the other party was looking forward to.
"I hesitated for a long time before. I didn't know what to give you. I was afraid that you would not like it."
It's really durian!
Not aware of Xia Guangxian's delicate state of mind at the moment, and even regarded that stiff smile as too happy, Dai Shu continued to add insult to injury and said:
"Fortunately, Mr. Xia seems to like eating cakes. This is eight inches, and you can taste it slowly by yourself."
Why durian!
Seeing Dai Shu's serious expression and polite attitude, the corners of Xia Guangxian's mouth twitched slightly, and he stretched out his hand under the table, as if he was holding back something, and paused for a few seconds before opening his mouth and saying:
"Haha, Mr. Dai is too polite, I'll just take one piece, and I'll give you the rest!"
Obviously just in order to taste the cake, he dragged him into the house like crazy, but now he is so polite, Dai Shu can't help thinking that Xia Guang is not as rude as he imagined.
Dai Shu shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Honestly, I don't really like cakes. Besides..."
Taking out the "Explosive Banana" wrapped in transparent cellophane from the bag, Dai Shu continued:
"I already have this. The clerk sold it to me. It seems to be called 'Popping Banana'. It's weird."
What responded to him was Xia Guangxian's slightly strange expression, which seemed to be filled with... envy?
Noticing that Xia Guangxian was always staring at the "explosive banana" in his hand, and had not eaten his favorite eight-inch cake for a long time, he speculated that the other party probably wanted to enjoy it slowly when he was alone, so Dai Shu left first.
Before leaving, Dai Shute lowered his head and stared at the floor, unwilling to see the home environment of the suspected homeless man again.
Of course, he didn't notice Xia Guangxian's crying face behind him.
Hello players:
"World of Wild Beasts" will shut down the server for a major revision starting at [-]:[-] noon on Saturday, and the expected start time is [-]:[-] pm.Due to the large content of the data, it is inconvenient to download, please go to convenience stores across the province to purchase the revision package update for the smooth progress of the game.Sorry for any inconvenience caused, thank you.
Sincerely, ××× Online Game Company
Dai Shu, who finally got over his worries, returned home and wanted to tell Zhong Wei about the incident online and thank him for his proposal, but found that the game only popped up the political announcement and could not log in.
Only then did I feel that I had changed the version, but I didn't expect that the game was also going to be revised?
Seeing the words "Please buy a revised package", Dai Shu judged that it should be something that Zhong Wei often bought before.Just happy that there is a convenience store nearby where you can buy it, but thinking of how Ah Chao thinks of him, Dai Shu can't say frankly that he wants to buy a revised bag.
Dai Shu, who was worried too much, even thought... Convenience stores are a chain, especially the store managers will exchange information with each other. Even if they go to other stores to buy, if it is reported back to A Chao, will they look down on him?
Due to various face considerations, Dai Shu was unable to make a decision for a long time.
If Zhong Wei was at home, he would not have to worry about the outside world, even if he bought more bags, he would not be laughed at.
While muttering his lover's name, something flashed through Dai Shu's mind.
These days, I have been used to meeting Zhong Wei in the game every day. Since the other party doesn't seem to want to mention the recent situation, and as long as they enter the "World of Wild Beasts", the two can chat and contact each other, so Dai Shu didn't ask Zhong Wei about it. message.
But Dai Shu actually forgot that Zhong Wei did not leave any contact information when he left.
The only channel of communication between them is "Wild Beast World".
If there is no way to enter the game, and Zhong Wei is unwilling to take the initiative to contact Dai Shu in reality, without the medium of the game, the two will have no intersection.
Obviously, he only needs to take a few more steps to reach the other party's location, but he wants to miss this opportunity?Dai Shu began to think seriously, face or lover, which one is more important?
On Monday morning, when I was about to enter the convenience store, I saw a revised advertisement for "World of Wild Beasts" posted outside the store, and there were even stickers on the bookshelf inside the store.The bearded man in a floral shirt on the poster happened to be the character that Dai Shu usually plays.
Dai Shu couldn't help but be attracted by it, and stared at the advertisement silently, with the same serious expression as when he was working.
The battle between heaven and man has begun in your mind, should you reach out and buy the modified package of "World of Wild Beasts"?
"Hi~ Chao. Oh, Mr. Dai is here too, what's the matter?"
A familiar frivolous tone sounded from behind.
Xia Guangxian still dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, leaned over to Dai Shu, bent down and pointed at one of the books, teasing with a subtle expression:
"I didn't even know that Mr. Dai liked this. In fact, if you need it, you can borrow it from me next time."
It was only then that Dai Shu discovered that under the revised poster of "World of Wild Beasts", there was a row of restricted-rated magazines with hot and sexy girls printed on them.
Dai Shu's face instantly turned livid.
I don't have the slightest interest in the flesh of the opposite sex, let alone buy such a magazine full of skin color, but... I can't explain why I would rather buy macho magazines than read this, right?
Not wanting to be classified as the same kind by the frivolous guys, Dai Shu quickly took off the "Wild Beast World Political Edition Bag" and put it on the counter imposingly, the volume was enough for Xia Guang who was leisurely approaching to hear it first.
"I want to buy this."
As if frightened by Dai Shu's rare tough attitude, Ah Chao, who helped Dai Shu serve Americano coffee as usual, was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"It turns out that Mr. Dai also plays "World of Wild Beasts"? This is a great game, very popular among young people."
Hearing "Among the Young People", Dai Shu secretly blamed himself for being indecisive. He is almost old and confused, and he still follows the trend of young people.
However, under the leadership of Zhong Wei, I really felt the attraction of "World of Wild Beasts".
This kind of contradictory mood made Dai Shu eager to tell the truth, but afraid of being laughed at, so he could only tell the words he practiced and recited last night.
"...Well, cough, it's relatives and children clamoring to play. I don't know much about this..."
The high-quality store manager, Ah Chao, showed a friendly smile, finished the check neatly, and handed the invoice and change to Dai Shu with a calm face.
"Then, if you have any questions about "World of Wild Beasts", you can ask Xiaoxia."
Perhaps it was because he had finally satisfied his recent desire. Seeing Ah Chao's amiable smile, Dai Shu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and subconsciously replied:
"Don't worry, I should be familiar with it."
Noticing Ah Chao's slightly stunned expression, Dai Shu was startled when he accidentally slipped his tongue.Before A Chao could react, Dai Shu nodded, wanting to leave the convenience store as quickly as possible.
"If I had known that Mr. Dai also liked "The World of Wild Beasts", we could have talked more."
Secretly seeing Dai Shu's embarrassing expression, Xia Guangxian with a smile in his charming peach eyes, first picked up the "Wild Beast World Revision Package" for Dai Shu, and then gently handed the things back to Dai Shu.
"Actually, no matter which one you want to buy, don't be shy!"
Xia Guangxian's teasing voice whispered softly in Dai Shu's ear.
The embarrassment of being discovered made escaping reality the only choice for Dai Shu.Before leaving the store, Dai Shu pretended to be calm and said to Xia Guangxian beside him as if he finally remembered the words he had practiced before:
"This is for relatives and children to play with, not me."
After finishing speaking, Dai Shu hurriedly left, trying to avoid any response from the other party.
However, through the corner of his eye, Dai Shu seemed to vaguely see...
There was an intriguing smile on the corner of the young man's lips.
"……How is this going?"
After get off work, Dai Shu immediately went home to update the game.
Taking advantage of the long installation time, Dai Shu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then exhaled slowly, as if to cheer himself up.The shaking heart gradually calmed down with the adjusted breathing, Dai Shu desperately recalled the appearance of Zhong Wei in his memory, and planned to persuade him to come back this time, and leave his contact information.
After the installation, Dai Shu couldn't wait to start the game, and found that the login screen had become more beautiful.
After entering the familiar account number and password, Dai Shu finally re-entered this once strange but now full of expectation online world.
However, the picture that appeared in front of him wiped out the expectation on Dai Shu's face.
"Uncle Trendy" is completely naked, not only all the equipment on his body has disappeared, but all the props in the storage space have also disappeared.
nothing is gone...
The only gift that Zhong Wei gave him: "Cat Fist Series Equipment", just disappeared.
How should he explain to Zhong Wei?
"Could it be... the computer is poisoned?"
Dai Shu, who has no experience in the online game "stolen account", does not know what "reporting to the official handling" is at all. The only possibility that can be thought of is that the computer is poisoned.
"I need to fix the computer quickly."
You have to hurry up and get in touch with Zhong Wei again.
Since the two lived together, he was busy with work and neglected each other, and the interaction between them decreased day by day. It was not until they broke up and reunited online that they regained that feeling.
No, the interaction these days has even surpassed the previous feeling...
Zhong Wei in the game is very patient with himself. I wonder if it is because he is in the game he likes?They have things they like in common, topics to talk about, and the warmth of being with each other.
Pulling out the computer warranty card attached by the store, Dai Shu, who had not changed out of his suit, carefully carried the not-so-light mainframe on his shoulders and wanted to go out.However, he encountered a little difficulty when going out: he couldn't lock the door while carrying the host.
Dai Shu had no choice but to temporarily put the main unit by his feet, took out the key and locked the door.Just because of the few minutes of delay, he encountered the most embarrassing situation by chance.
"Huh? Mr. Dai is going out again?"
The elevator door behind him opened at some unknown time, and inside was Xia Guangxian who was smiling and biting a buttered bread.
"……yes."
Seeing the big boy with a casual smile in front of him, Dai Shu didn't want to explain more, but just confirmed that the door of the house was locked, and planned to pick up the host and leave quickly.
The last thing he wanted to face was Xia Guangxian's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts.
"What's wrong with Mr. Dai's main computer? Broken?"
However, the God of Destiny did not give up teasing Dai Shu. Xia Guangxian quickly approached with bread in his mouth, slightly bent his knuckles and knocked on the shell of the main unit, tilting his head to show Dai Shu a curious look.
Helplessly sighing in his heart, Dai Shu lacked the courage to ignore people, so he nodded hesitantly, and replied lightly:
"It seems to be poisoned."
"Poisoned? Aha, could it be that you downloaded something ulterior...Uh, I'm joking, Mr. Dai, don't take it seriously."
Xia Guang couldn't help but show a joking tone habitually, but saw Dai Shu's serious face getting more and more dignified, so he had to raise his hands high in surrender, showing a sincere confession.
When Dai Shu looked a little calmer, Xia Guangxian, who was good at observing words and expressions, stopped Dai Shu in a friendly tone, and said again with that sincere and trustworthy warm eyes:
"Mr. Dai, don't worry, I can fix small problems like computer poisoning faster and better than the store."
Grasping the other party's mind has always been Xia Guangxian's specialty, and Dai Shu's anxious attitude can be seen, guessing that there are important work materials in the computer, so he is so anxious, right?
Dai Shu immediately fell into deep thought when he heard this, as if he was choosing between a dilemma.
Do you want to trust this young man in front of you?
still……?
Xia Guangxian couldn't deny that he was poisoned by the "Durian Chocolate Cake" tea. Based on a mentality of revenge, he went to the convenience store early to find opportunities to make his uncle happy.
After encountering an uncle who bought the "Revised Pack of Wild Beasts" by chance, Xia Guangxian began to have different ideas.
A week ago, when "Uncle Trendy" asked young people what they liked, he casually suggested that "Durian Chocolate Cake" would make the recipients happy... The next day, I received one myself.
An eight-inch "Durian Chocolate Cake" that scares people to death!
Such a coincidence, if it was really a coincidence, would be too bizarre.
When Xia Guangxian received the cake, he was still drowsy and didn't realize that such a coincidence was so unreasonable.After thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is just like a wishing well that is too effective, even if it is a prank wish that I said casually, it is so taken seriously by the other party.
Xia Guangxian can't wait to think
