Butterfly dream life

Yu Xiaoduo's face was full of astonishment, and it took him a while to recover.

"I'm confused..." he said confusedly, "I remember just now, you told me to enter the memory, and said to send me where I should go, but I feel..."

"You have already entered the virtual world." Lu Bu interrupted, "and you have successfully completed the task. After the brain-computer judges independently, the exit procedure will be activated and you will be sent back."

"How long have I been there?" Yu Xiaoduo asked.

"Five hours and three minutes." Lu Bu replied.

"Five hours?!" Yu Xiaoduo was startled.

He clearly remembered that the contract clearly stipulated that the mission period would be three months, but now he was told that only a few hours had passed and the mission had been completed. Did he go in for a soy sauce?

"The human brain operates very fast." Lu Bu explained, "so the time in the virtual world is not the same as in the real world. The difference between the two is about [-] times. Although only five hours have passed in the real world, you have been in the virtual world for nearly A year and a half."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

"I'm sorry I didn't inform you in advance." Lu Bu said, "The main reason is that I am afraid that it will cause you a sense of time confusion, which will affect the execution of the mission."

Yu Xiaoduo said in his heart that this is contract fraud, right?It's too bad!But after thinking about it, I didn't seem to have lost anything. At the beginning, I was worried that my muscles would atrophy if I had to lie in the institute for three months. It turned out that I only stayed for a few hours.

Forget it, as long as you can get the money!

Thinking of this, he asked: "Since I have completed the task as promised, when will the [-] million bonus be given to me?"

"Later, I will send you back to the real real world, which is the research institute." Lu Bu said, "The relevant staff will connect with you."

Yu Xiaoduo nodded, and asked again: "May I know what the mission is? The contract only said that it was related to a certain psychological research."

"I'm sorry, 007." Lu Bu said, "According to regulations, you have no right to know any information related to it."

Yu Xiaoduo groaned in disappointment, feeling a little sad for no reason, but he couldn't explain exactly what he was sad about. He guessed that it might be related to his experience in the virtual world, but he would never know.

"Dear 007." Lu Bu said, "In order to confirm the success of the operation, I will ask you a few questions next, please answer quickly."

Yu Xiaoduo came back to his senses and nodded.

"Your name and age?"

"Yu Xiaoduo, 25 years old this year."

"Your parents' names?"

"Father Yu Jiangang, mother Xu Shujun."

"Your unit name and boss name?"

"Kuncheng Minghai Trading Co., Ltd., owner Cheng Yanqiu."

"Do you remember when the contract was signed??"

"November 2021, 11, Singles' Day."

"What is your sexual orientation?"

"gay, zero."

"What is your current relationship status?"

"Single...single."

"Great! It seems that everything is normal, then I can send you back to the research institute, please close your eyes and relax."

Yu Xiaoduo did as he said, only to feel a white light flash in his mind, and then opened his eyes again, and found that he was already lying in the laboratory of the research institute.

There were three white coats standing opposite, and one of the women smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Yu."

"Welcome back to the real world!"

~~

A week later.

Yu Xiaoduo lay on the bed, picked up the mobile phone 1 times, and checked the balance of the bank card.

Under the wealth management item, it showed [-] million. Yu Xiaoduo counted it several times, and there were eight zeros in total, snickering in his heart.

He is now among the ranks of local tyrants!

Moreover, he is a super VIP customer of the bank and has exclusive services. Thinking of being personally received by the president on the day of handling business, Yu Xiaoduo was so beautiful that he rolled around on the bed.

Ahhh!Is this the rich man's world?

It's so beautiful!

Yu Xiaoduo didn't tell anyone, including his parents, that the money should not be exposed, keep a low profile, and have to continue working. How can he squat at home at a young age?The aunt who drives a BMW still insists on sweeping the floor, not to mention that he is an imposing seven-foot man!

But you can’t be too low-key, withdraw some money later and pay off the mortgage first, careful planning is the virtue of a flower gardener, and then buy a luxury car, such as GLS450/X7/Great G, you can buy it all!

Now that he is so rich, he can take care of all kinds of beautiful men-forget it, it will be miserable if he is cheated, so let's find a partner slowly.

As soon as he thought about looking for a partner, a figure appeared in his mind, vaguely resembling a man, but indistinct, Yu Xiaoduo suddenly stopped rolling and froze.

After half an hour.

He put the quilt over his head, like a turtle retracting into its shell, put on headphones, listened to Eason's "Under Mount Fuji", and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the following days, Yu Xiaoduo continued his otaku life.

Going to work alone, eating alone, spending weekends alone, playing games alone... He has lived this simple and boring life for several years, and he has long been used to it, but he always feels that something is missing—it seems that he is missing something very important thing.

two months later.

The Spring Festival holiday is approaching, and Yu Xiaoduo flies back to his hometown in Northeast China.

He never told his parents the story of the [-] million yuan. He was worried about scaring them. Besides, he couldn’t explain it clearly. Anyway, his income was increasing every year.

"A lot." Mama Yu asked, "Did you turn on the electric blanket first?"

"Let's go." Yu Xiaoduo shouted in the bathroom.

After a while, Yu Xiaoduo came out of the shower, got into the warm bed, was extremely comfortable, picked up his phone and started playing games.

The plane took off rumblingly, and the teammates clicked on the parachute to follow, and the immature child's voice sounded in the headset.

"Everyone here is my father... Eh? They are all my younger brothers. If you have the guts to come to G Hong Kong for a one-on-one fight, I will wear auspicious clothes!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"It's all your daddy, hahaha!"

"Why are there so many sons?"

With a black line above his head, Yu Xiaoduo parachuted with his teammates, quickly landed in Port G, and immediately plunged into the tense and exciting battle.

He has been obsessed with jumping into Port G recently—even if it lands in a box again and again, it seems that there is some kind of magical attraction here, making him completely forget his fear.

Yu Xiaoduo was lucky to survive this round. His teammates parked the car beside him and turned on the microphone.

"Come up, let's go." The man said in a low voice.

Yu Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment, and it was not until the other party urged him repeatedly that he came back to his senses and jumped into the car.

The car was speeding fast, Yu Xiaoduo was still in a daze, and after a while, the ghost asked, "Brother, do you have 98K?"

"Want an 8x lens?" The teammate said with a smile, "I don't have one either. I'll give it to you when I find it later."

After 10 minutes, both of them died and got No.3. Before parting, the other party wanted to add him as a game friend, but Yu Xiaoduo politely refused.

He quit the game silently, repeatedly recalling the voices of his teammates, always feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard them.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yu Xiaoduo ran to the mountain behind his home alone, wandered to a dirt slope, and saw that the slope was frozen, and there was a woven bag left behind by someone.

He picked up the woven bag, spread it on the ice, sat on it, kicked his feet hard, slid down in a gust of wind, climbed up with the woven bag, and slid down again.

Yu Xiaoduo played on the ice slide again and again, the surroundings were quiet except for his heavy breathing.

Night after three months.

In spring, everything is revived, and the warm wind makes people drunk. Yu Xiaoduo sits on the beach of Phoenix Bay in Kun City, looking at the sea in a trance.

A round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, emitting a faint soft light, illuminating this world and also illuminating Ye Guiren's way home.

After a long time, he whispered:

"A bright moon is born at sea, and the world is here."

The weekend after four months, in the cinema.

The hero and heroine went through hardships and finally had a happy ending. The applause sounded, but Yu Xiaoduo got up and left the scene with an indescribable sadness.

Today, the sky in Kuncheng was clear and blue, and he walked alone on the street, not daring to look up.

"Handsome guy, do you want to learn diving?" A boy stopped him and handed over a flyer.

Yu Xiaoduo took it over, and saw that it said "Jinjing Diving Club OW+AOW Spring [-]% off special", he asked in a daze, "What is this?"

"Let me give you a detailed introduction." The boy said, "OW is OpenWater..."

Five months later, Phoenix Bay Diving Base.

"Go down 30 meters today." The coach said, "Just like OW, we will prepare at [-] meters first, and then Coach Liu and I will give you a sinking sign, everyone remember?"

Yu Xiaoduo and other students collectively gave a thumbs up and pointed down.

"Very good, let's go!"

After 15 minutes, several people reached the bottom of the sea at 30 meters.

The surrounding light was dim, the sea water was turbid, and there was a biting chill, Yu Xiaoduo followed closely behind the coach, never leaving

Suck - gurgling...

Suck - gurgling...

White bubbles rushed out of the respirator. The coach pinched his shoulder and signed in sign language: [Don't be afraid, breathe slowly and maintain neutral buoyancy. 】

Yu Xiaoduo was startled, and gestured to reply: 【OK. 】

Sunday night, December 12.

Yu Xiaoduo lay on the sofa, swiping his phone boredly,

[Wonderland on Earth - LatoLato, the most beautiful homestay in Semporna]

He clicked on this article, which introduced a homestay in Semporna, Malaysia, called LatoLato, with more than a dozen beautiful pictures.

In the picture is a row of wooden water houses standing in the jelly-colored sea, a kilometer away from the coast. There are groups of fish downstream of the water houses, large corals are clearly visible, and the scenery is beautiful.

After staring at this article for 5 minutes, Yu Xiaoduo had a thought, exited Toutiao, opened Airbnb, searched for LatoLato, and the system immediately popped up the booking interface of the homestay.

After a short hesitation, he sat down at the desk, turned on his laptop, and began to search for information online.

Semporna, water house homestay, boat diving, underwater post office, Sipadan, and Mount Kinabalu... Yu Xiaoduo writes and draws on paper, and there seems to be a voice in his head guiding him. Get ready for a detailed travel guide.

On Monday morning, Yu Xiaoduo asked Cheng Yanqiu to ask for leave, saying that he was going to go diving in Malaysia for Christmas, which confused Cheng Yanqiu, thinking that this child is not a landlubber?When will you be diving?Go abroad alone for Christmas, and you don't believe in God.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be there when work starts on the [-]nd." Yu Xiaoduo promised, "And I will bring my computer and handle business online."

"Mr. Cheng, I haven't taken a vacation for two years..."

"Did I say no?" Cheng Yanqiu said speechlessly, "Go, go, sure."

"Thank you Mr. Cheng!" Yu Xiaoduo was immediately elated.

Cheng Yanqiu hummed, and said, "Don't bring your computer with you. I will act as your agent for the time being. You can play with peace of mind."

Yu Xiaoduo was very grateful, and hurriedly said: "If you need to call, I will turn it on 24 hours a day."

December 12, at eight o'clock in the morning.

The plane arrived at Kota Kinabalu Airport, Yu Xiaoduo transferred to Tawau, took a minibus to Semporna Pier, and then took a motorboat to Lato Lato.

December 12th, Christmas Eve.

When the lights came on, "Jingle Bells" was played in the hall of the water house, and the tourists sat together, making noise and laughter one after another.

On the trestle bridge more than ten meters away, high-power incandescent lamps emit bright light, which is reflected on the sea surface, attracting a large school of silver pinbill fish.

Yu Xiaoduo sat alone by the trestle bridge until the night faded.

On December 12, Mataking waters.

Yu Xiaoduo watched sea turtles eat with other divers and visited the underwater post office together.

12月26日马步岛，12月27日诗巴丹，12月28日……俞小多按照计划一个一个走过去，犹如复习一段刻骨铭心的过去。

On December 12, at the top of Mount Kinabalu.

The sun rises slowly from the horizon, shining brilliantly!

Everyone was amazed, Yu Xiaoduo stood in the line, his eyes became unfocused.

A gust of breeze came, he closed his eyes, a tear slid out of his face, and fell to the bottom of the mountain.

Sadness roared in an instant, turning into a boundless net, covering Yu Xiaoduo overwhelmingly, he could no longer restrain his emotions, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Heyman?" The handsome British man came over and patted him on the shoulder, "What'swrong with you?"

Yu Xiaoduo looked up at him, couldn't stop crying, and couldn't say a word.

"It'sok, it'sok." The man said.

Yu Xiaoduo shook his head and cried in Chinese: "I seem to have forgotten a person, a person who is very important to me. In order to think of him, I have traveled many places until I stand here today, but I still don't remember anything , can't remember anything..."

The British man couldn't understand Chinese, but seeing him crying so sadly, he vaguely felt something and hugged him into his arms.

"Don't cry." The man reassured, "Everything will be ok."

"Well, beok..."

"Yes, goodboy."

On December 12, Kinabalu National Park B&B.

Yu Xiaoduo was lying on the bed tiredly, with red and swollen eyes, staring at a photo on the phone.

The last stop...he said from the bottom of his heart.

January 1 New Year's Day, in the evening, Tanjung Aru Beach.

Tanjung Aru is one of the world's top five sunset resorts. The sunset bar here is famous for its excellent angle.

The weather is gloomy today, the sunset is blocked by thick black clouds, and there are very few tourists in the Sunset Bar.

Yu Xiaoduo sat on the bench, looking at the coastline in the distance, which goes west, and then goes west, which is the territory of the South China Sea of ​​the motherland.

"It is said that the setting sun is the end of the world, but you can't see home when you look to the end of the world."

Yu Xiaoduo groaned softly, and after a while he said to himself: "Where I am from now on will be your home."

Suddenly, a melodious singing sound came from a distance.

"Sweet, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."

I don't know who is playing "Sweet Honey" in public. This is very common in Malaysia, and the locals like to listen to Teresa Teng's songs very much.

"Where, where have I seen you, your smile is so familiar, I can't remember it for a while."

"Ah, in a dream..." Yu Xiaoduo hummed along with the singing.

A man sat down beside him.

"You also like Teresa Teng's song?" the man asked.

"I only like this one." Yu Xiaoduo said.

Then turned to look at the man.

The two looked at each other, and their singing was like vines in spring, entwining them tenderly.

"I've seen you in my dream, I've seen you in my dream, my smile is so sweet in my dream..."

In an instant, countless fragments of memories converged into a new star, bursting out with dazzling light, which had been burning for hundreds of millions of years, passed through the vast and boundless universe, and suddenly shone into Yu Xiaoduo's mind!

"It's you, it's you, it's you in the dream..."

"008..." Yu Xiaoduo burst into tears.

"It's me, Xiaoduo." Gu Haiya hugged him into his arms, "I finally found you."

Yu Xiaoduo buried himself in front of Gu Haiya's shoulder and burst into tears.

"Where, where have I met you, your smile is so familiar, I can't remember it for a moment..."

"Ah—in a dream..."

"Ah~~~~ In a dream..."

"dreaming……………………"

“…………………………”

Yu Xiaoduo slowly opened his eyes.

"Duodo!" Mom threw herself on him, crying, "You finally woke up."

Yu Xiaoduo: "........."

And again?Yu Xiaoduo's mouth twitched.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Open your eyes and see, I'm a mother—"

"Don't worry, the patient just woke up and needs time to recover."

"Duo Duo, woo woo woo..."

Yu Ma cried hoarsely, Yu Xiaoduo still closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "You still want to lie to me? Where is Lu Bu? Tell him to come out!"

Mama Yu: "..."

"Doctor, what's wrong with him?" Mama Yu was dumbfounded.

Someone came to the bed and said, "Ms. Xu, let me talk to him."

Hearing this voice, Yu Xiaoduo immediately opened his eyes and said in shock, "Dr. Tao!"

"Hello, Yu Xiaoduo." Dr. Tao said softly, "Or I should call you Volunteer 007."

"In a word, welcome back to the real world."
