Please this player not to harass NPCs

There is a default rule in our team, everyone will leave something with the captain before entering the instance.

Those things can be precious rings, or a flimsy bookmark...it doesn't matter what it is, as long as you keep one.

I didn't understand it until the day Brother Zhou also asked me to take over this matter.

——Chu Mie

Jiang Yuan is a considerate person.

When he first joined the team, Aunt Qin's death hadn't made everyone come out, so everyone was not so enthusiastic about him, and even had a little thought of "since he will die sooner or later, why bother to get emotional".

Jiang Yuan accepted everyone's indifferent attitude frankly, and consciously took on the task of bandaging everyone's wounds, remembering everyone's preferences, and being considerate in many details.

Everyone also slowly developed feelings during the long-term relationship, and the haze brought about by Aunt Qin's death was barely dispelled.

Song Zhiyi also had an older brother after Chu Mie.

Chu Mie didn't spend much time alone with Jiang Yuan at that time, and occasionally when Chu Mie was sitting by the window sharpening his blade, Jiang Yuan would come over to chat with him.

In fact, it's not an important word, it's just some insignificant greetings and small talk, but occasionally a few words will touch Chu Mi's heart.

Jiang Yuan: "Jin Han, you always seem to be alone?"

"Yeah." Chu Mie looked out of the window in a daze, "I don't like sticking around in crowds very much."

"If possible, I still hope that you can get along with everyone more." Jiang Yuan poured him a glass of water and pushed it in front of him: "It is really a rare fate to meet everyone in the mirage, so I I cherish the time spent with everyone.”

"Tell me, if there is no mirage, will everyone still know each other?"

Everyone in the team actually comes from all over the country.

Chu Mie was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask, "Probably not?"

"I think so." Jiang Yuan lowered his head and smiled: "But even if we don't know each other, everyone should be able to meet someone who is equally good and warm."

"After all, there are still more good people in this world."

…………

Jiang Yuan's gentleness is the same on the outside and inside.

But such softness almost killed him.

He played a role similar to a "bad guy" in a dungeon. Because he couldn't bear to hurt others, the collapse value was too high, and he was almost wiped out by the mirage consciousness.

Fortunately, he met someone and was rescued.

That person was later Jiang Yuan's lover Liang Weiyin.

Liang Weiyin is not in their team, he is a lone ranger rarely seen in the mirage.However, according to his rebellious character, he probably won't be able to join the team and be restricted, so he always finds a way to use props and Jiang Yuanfen to get a dungeon.

But about Liang Weiyin and Jiang Yuan, Shen Chiyu gossips mostly for Chu Mi.

Liang Weiyin fell in love with Jiang Yuan at first sight, not only chasing Jiang Yuan around in the dungeon, but even chasing after reality.

When Shen Chiyu talked about this, he always smiled at his aunt: "Hey, you said that Liang Weiyin has a dog temper. Look at his usual posture when he sees whoever bites, he is almost trained by Jiang Yuan to be a dick."

Chu Mie rarely met Liang Weiyin, so he didn't understand Shen Chiyu's meaning.Later, by chance, I saw Liang Weiyin slamming his club at the door aggressively: "Zhou Shangqi, quickly call my family Yuanyuan!"

Seeing that he didn't regard this place as someone else's home, Zhou Shangqi almost laughed angrily.

Jiang Yuan came out of the room in a hurry, first apologized to Zhou Shangqi with an apologetic face, then walked up to Zhou Shangqi, said with a cold smile:

"Your attitude is a little too much."

Liang Weiyin raised her brows high: "Huh?!"

Jiang Yuan didn't say much, just stared at him.

Liang Weiyin: "..."

In the end, Liang Weiyin was like a defeated rooster. He walked slowly to Zhou Shangqi, and moaned from his throat: "It's because of my bad attitude."

Chu Mie watched Liang Weiyin's "I am number one in the world" and later "Yuanyuan said everything is right", and he deeply agreed with everything Shen Chiyu said.

As far as Liang Weiyin's fanfare is concerned, everyone in the team knows that Liang Weiyin is chasing Jiang Yuan, and sometimes they will make fun of Jiang Yuan.

But Jiang Yuan did not agree to Liang Weiyin for a long time.

Chu Mie understood the reason why Jiang Yuan didn't agree to Liang Weiyin, because they had the same opinion at that time - they were afraid that they would fall too deep, so that they would be unable to extricate themselves in the end.

At that time, Chu Mie was determined not to fall in love in the mirage, but Jiang Yuan was obviously moved, but he had some scruples and wavered there.

Chu Mie couldn't see it, so he simply returned the sentence Jiang Yuan told him, "cherish the time with everyone".

After Jiang Yuan heard that sentence, when Liang Weiyin came to him the next day, he directly grabbed Liang Weiyin's hand and announced the relationship in front of everyone.It really made everyone in the team take a bite of dog food.

Because of Jiang Yuan, Liang Weiyin would basically always spend the night in the team, so even if Liang Weiyin didn't explicitly say he would join the team, everyone would assume him to be a member of the team by default.

…………

More than a year has passed, and as the difficulty of the dungeon increases, the team members have changed one after another. Fortunately, Chu Mie's closest friends are still alive.

This short period of time does not seem to be long, but everyone has changed a lot.

Song Zhiyi has become a pretty girl, no longer always red-eyed like before; Shen Chiyu has also become a powerful player, partnering with Chu Mie in the dungeon to go through life and death; The reason why Yuan has been together for a long time is that his personality is much more stable than before.

And Zhou Shangqi was as strong and reliable as ever.

At least Chu Mie always regarded Zhou Shangqi, who protected them, as a god of protection.

But even if Zhou Shangqi is the patron saint, there will still be a day when the light is dim.

Chu Mie actually understood in his heart.

It's just that he never thought that this day would come so soon.

…………

"Brother Zhou, what are you calling me for?"

Chu Mie heard Zhou Shangqi calling his name, walked up to Zhou Shangqi, and looked at him quietly.

"You come with me first."

Zhou Shangqi secretly glanced at the other people around him, and waved to him.

Chu Mie followed Zhou Shangqi to a secluded corner, concealed the doubt in his eyes, and waited for Zhou Shangqi's next words.

"Snapped--"

Zhou Shangqi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, bent his knuckles, tapped out a cigarette, then turned on the lighter, and lit the eye in his mouth.

"call--"

He took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then exhaled slowly.

Chu Mi took a step back expressionlessly.

Zhou Shangqi held the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger, looked at the not-so-obvious dislike on Chu Mie's face, and couldn't help but sneered, "Boy, why are you still acting so obvious?"

Chu Mie looked calm: "Smoking is harmful, and I don't like second-hand smoke."

"Little bastard." Zhou Shangqi could only throw the unburned cigarette on the ground and crush the sparks on the cigarette with his feet: "Well, can I stop smoking? You don't understand the happiness of adults, little bastard." !"

Chu Mie was unmoved.

Zhou Shangqi put away the smile in his eyes, and said seriously: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Chu Mie looked at Zhou Shangqi.

"Now we have gone through a lot of dungeons. The difficulty is getting higher and higher now, and I haven't accepted the dungeon that requires me to be the 'protagonist' for a long time. I'm afraid I will encounter such a dungeon later——"

... Most likely will not survive.

Zhou Shangqi's eyes fell on Chu Mie's face, and when he saw the unnatural worry and anxiety flashing across his face, he finally swallowed the remaining words softly.

But there are some things he has to explain in advance, and all of this is just in case.

"Lin Jinhan, if one day I... hope you can take my place and protect everyone."

Chu Mie retorted subconsciously: "I can't do it! I..."

"You can do it." Zhou Shangqi stopped him, holding Chu Mie's shoulders with both hands, staring firmly at Chu Mie's confused and moving eyes, and said word by word: "I know you can do it."

Chu Mi pursed his lips, but said nothing.

"Actually, I should have entrusted such a burden to the oldest person in the team, but after careful consideration, I think you are the most suitable."

"Although you are young, you can be said to be the most agile in the team; and you are cautious and careful, and your future achievements are even more unpredictable. I think if you take the lead, everyone can go further."

Chu Mie clenched his fists and said softly, "Brother Zhou, I cannot bear the responsibility for everyone's life."

If he made a command error, the price he paid was the life of his companions.

Thinking that his every move would affect the lives of his companions, Chu Mie felt that he would look forward and backward, making it difficult for him to move forward.

Zhou Shangqi's callused big hand landed on Chu Mie's head, and rubbed his head roughly but gently.

"Jinhan, brother, I'm sorry."

"You are only 21 years old now. Before you entered the mirage, you should have enjoyed your college life in college at your age, playing games and falling in love. You shouldn't have to bear so much. Now my brother insists on It is indeed too much for you to take on these things that you shouldn't bear at your age."

Chu Mie blinked, his eyes reddened.

Zhou Shangqi sighed, and thought: "Although this child is usually silent and rational, and is far more mature than his peers or even older people, he is still just a rookie who has not yet entered society."

But Chu Mie is the most suitable person to take over from him.

"Brother has never begged anyone in this life." Zhou Shangqi paused: "I beg you today, and take good care of everyone on my behalf."

"Brother didn't mean to make you responsible for everyone's lives, because I have not been able to protect everyone through this journey."

Chu Mie raised his eyes slightly, looking at Zhou Shangqi.

"Brother just hopes that when everyone is at a loss, someone can guide them, and you can protect everyone within the scope of your ability, instead of asking you to sacrifice yourself to protect others."

"It's wrong to blindly sacrifice." Zhou Shangqi shook his head: "Brother hopes that while you cherish your companion's life, you can also cherish your own life."

"Jin Han, brother really regards you as my younger brother."

"..."

Chu Mie patted Zhou Shangqi's hand off, protecting his hair, with a bit of grievance and embarrassment in his tone: "Got it! My hair is messed up by you."

"Hey, you kid!"

Zhou Shangqi stared angrily, and intentionally got close to Chu Mie, rubbing his hair like a chicken coop. Seeing his small face holding back his anger, he couldn't help but burst out laughing heartily.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, Jinhan, what are you doing hiding in the corner!"

Shen Chiyu came out from the corner, sniffed the smell of cigarettes in the air that hadn't completely dissipated, widened his eyes in surprise and said, "You two were smoking secretly just now, weren't you?"

Chu Mie was taken aback, and quickly explained: "No, I..."

"Okay!" Shen Chiyu glared at Zhou Shangqi, and said threateningly: "You dare to take my house to smoke? You want to teach us to spoil our young cabbage, do you think you won't be able to smoke in the future? "

Zhou Shangqi touched the cigarette in his pocket guilty, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, I won't teach Jinhan to smoke again next time."

Shen Chiyu showed a proud expression of victory in the battle, pulled Chu Mie and ran out of the corner, but after walking a few steps, he looked back: "Brother Zhou, why are you still here?"

"Little girl Pianzi, now you know how to call me Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Shangqi cursed with a smile, and waved his hands at them: "Let's go quickly! I'm addicted to cigarettes, so I won't come back until the smell of cigarettes dissipates."

"Okay then!" Shen Chiyu curled his lips: "Hurry up!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhou Shangqi lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "The little girl has too much control."

Shen Chiyu snorted at him, dragged Chu Mie away without looking back.

Chu Mie didn't know why, and unconsciously turned around to take a last look at Zhou Shangqi.

Most of Zhou Shangqi's body was hidden in the shadows, only the cigarette butt he was holding in his mouth was flickering.There was indelible worry and deepness in his eyes, and he leaned against the wall silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he noticed Chu Mie's gaze, raised his eyes to look at Chu Mie, looked at him with some relief for a second, then bit his cigarette holder and smiled, and raised his chin at him, as if to say:

[Don't worry, Brother Zhou still has everything! 】

Chu Mie felt warm and sour in his heart, and turned his head in embarrassment.

The author says:

sort out the timeline

Chu Mie and Shen Chiyu were the same age, they entered Mirage at the age of 19, and they joined Zhou Shangqi's team at the age of 20.

Shen Chiyu died when he was 23 years old, and Shen Huaiyun was 20 years old at that time.

Three years later, Shen Huaiyun entered the mirage at the age of 23.

To put it simply, Chu Mie is 26 years old now.
