Qin Fanglu looked at the red exclamation mark and was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Kai saw this from across the table and couldn't hold back his laughter to the point where he couldn't control it anymore. The air flow got blocked in his trachea and he burped.
White Rose at the next table was horrified: "Fuck you, you really are such a jerk! Then why did you accept her friend request?"
Ruan Cunyun felt a little aggrieved: "There's nothing I can do. If I don't accept the friend, I can't tell the other party why I rejected the friend."
Bai Qiangwei thought he was stupid: "Don't you know that you can chat with group members directly in a small window? Even if you are not friends."
Ruan Cunyun opened his mouth speechlessly: "Ah, yes."
Qin Fanglu at the next table looked up suddenly. How could this happen? He had no idea.
"It's okay, haha." Bai Qiangwei raised her eyebrows and said, "You deserve it, Teacher Dan! You blocked a friendly fan for no reason. Now you're lucky enough not to post her on Weibo. You didn't block her back, so what's wrong with deleting her as a friend?"
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Ruan Cunyun slumped back in his chair and raised the corners of his mouth.
Cheng Kai’s brain was not enough to keep up with Qin Fanglu’s bizarre train of thought: “Qin Gou speaks human language, I can’t understand.”
My first reaction was that Teacher Dan is still aloof. Even when he apologized, he seemed distant and his words were very business-like.
Qin Fanglu casually pulled a piece of white paper from the graffiti wall of the secret base and split it in two with one stroke.
"Just like it's hard to perfectly merge Banner and Hulk into a rational Hulk, I don't know how to merge the identities of boyfriend and BALLS together now."
"I think this is the best. Madam, you can draw hers, and I can draw mine! We just share a sexual fetish, but there's no need to know each other. We don't bother each other and have nothing to do with each other. I'm still her fan! But we shouldn't be friends anymore."
"So, what does this vertical line in the middle mean?" Cheng Kai pointed to the line between "Qin Fanglu" and "BALLS" with an eraser.
Qin Fanglu rarely showed a hesitant expression: "I don't quite know what to do."
Qin Fanglu closed his eyes and said, "To be honest, I don't dare. I'm worried that I won't be able to be a good BALLS player or Qin Fanglu player anymore."
Cheng Kai was too lazy to understand the twists and turns between them as a couple and felt a little sleepy after listening to them: "If you need, I can help you tell Ruan Cunyun."
"What if I hadn't come today? What if I hadn't seen the photo of Ruan Cunyun wearing white Hanfu in the group?" Qin Fanglu said calmly, "This was just a coincidence that allowed me to see another side of him and let me know where the problem lies."
Qin Fanglu lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling both amused and sad, crying and laughing at the same time.
Qin Fanglu frowned slightly, then patted Cheng Kai on the shoulder and said, "This is not the key issue."
Cheng Kai looked at the increasingly detailed charts, as if he was back in a business analysis class, and was a little crazy: "I thought you had evolved into an emotional person, why are you still such a rational maniac!"
"Teacher Dan, what are you afraid of?" Cheng Kai had been holding back his laughter, but now he could finally laugh out loud. "Boss Qin, do you plan to write a draft and rehearse it a few times before going up to confess?"
"I always wanted to know what Ruan Cunyun liked, explore his life, and try to help him. I wanted him to trust me 100%, but I didn't give myself 100% to him."
"Are you okay?" Cheng Kai asked in a pretentious tone.
For some reason, Ruan Cunyun missed Teacher Dan who had come to him for relationship advice before, but now he had no intention of using this relationship to get close to him.
"I felt a few days ago that Ruan Cunyun didn't trust me enough and wasn't honest enough." Qin Fanglu said slowly, "In fact, I was the one who wasn't honest."
Cheng Kai crossed his arms: "Where?"
BALLS said: [Excuse me, but I still want to say sorry to you. My action of blocking you last time was inappropriate. I know the damage is irreversible, but I still hope that my apology can make up for it a little. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I will correct it later. ]
The tip of the pencil pointed to the right: "I am BALLS here. The mistake he made was adding a fan as a friend and then blocking him... I really didn't think much about it at the time, but this behavior was really stupid. Regardless of whether the person who was blocked was Ruan Cunyun, I was wrong. This behavior was too fucking extreme and unnecessary. Alas."
Sure enough, Qin Fanglu moved back to the left half, marked "Solution" under the word "Problem", and listed: "First, Qin Fanglu will no longer pretend from now on. He will behave the same way in front of Ruan Cunyun as he does in front of Cheng Kai. Second, he will no longer urge Ruan Cunyun to give up his full trust, because Qin Fanglu himself must do this first."
He replied: [It’s okay, Mr. Dan, I don’t take it too seriously, I will continue to support you in the future! ]
How in the world could this happen
"Distance creates beauty, that's right." Qi Chang nodded, "Just like those fans only know that Bai Qiangwei is pretty, but if they knew that she can go a week without washing her hair when she's lazy in the summer, they would definitely stop being fans long ago."
Qin Fanglu walked straight out of the secret base: "I'm going home."
Cheng Kai smiled sinisterly: "Anyway, my biggest gain today was hearing Qin Fanglu say in person that he is an idiot! Hahahahaha!"
"When did you become a love guru?" Cheng Kai raised his eyebrows at him and shrugged. "So you're not going to do anything? Just keep watching your boyfriend secretly liking your account?"
"Why are you so childish? These two are just you." He punched Qin Fanglu.
Qin Fanglu strode out of the secret base, while Cheng Kai was still grinning foolishly behind him.
-
Ruan Cunyun didn't expect that a day later he received another QQ message from Teacher Dan through a temporary chat window established in the group chat.
Isn’t this simple!
The topic next door gradually turned private. Qin Fanglu stood up, lifted the bamboo curtain, and walked out sideways.
Cheng Kai followed closely, speaking in a low, anxious voice, his eyes sparkling as he watched the show: "Teacher Dan is finally going to appear!"
Cheng Kai was about to take out his camera, but Qin Fanglu grabbed his arm and pulled him downstairs.
"Ruan Cunyun just said that he wants to stay away from the real life of an artist. If I tell him now that I am BALLS, and he doesn't even know that I watch anime, isn't it too damn sudden... I don't know if he will be disappointed."
Cheng Kai rolled his eyes: "I don't understand you Marvel."
"The person on the left is Qin Fanglu, Ruan Cunyun's boyfriend. The mistake he made was not being honest enough. At least he shouldn't have hidden his love for the second dimension."
Qin Fanglu glanced at him calmly, and then wrote on the right half of the page that belonged to Teacher Dan: "First, apologize to the fans, and pay attention to similar issues when interacting with other fans in the future, and don't hurt others for no reason. Second, continue to paint and produce, but will no longer post paintings that reflect your fantasies online."
"Fuck—" Bai Qiangwei cursed, "I'm going to go on Weibo right now to tell your fans that you're a dirty fool at home!"
"No thanks." Qin Fanglu said immediately, "Law Giant will tell him himself later."
"You can show up in front of Ruan Cunyun right now, put your Weibo homepage in front of him, and say, haha, I am your Dan teacher! Isn't that cool? All problems will be solved, he will definitely forgive you directly, and then like you more and admire you more!"
Cheng Kai watched the pie chart gradually taking shape under Qin Fanglu's pen and had a bad feeling.
BALLS: [Thank you, I hope you live a happy life. ]
Ruan Cunyun turned off his cell phone.
Before going to bed, Ruan Cunyun suddenly took out his mobile phone and read the message from Teacher Dan, but he didn't feel much.
I couldn't help but watch it again.
He turned over and rolled away the quilt, looking at the ceiling and thinking, Teacher Dan really remembered this matter for a long time.
When he turned over, Ruan Cunyun thought about dancing again. Qin Fanglu hadn't asked him about related matters recently, which gave Ruan Cunyun a temporary respite.
Time and mood have become much more relaxed. Ruan Cunyun didn't play games much when he was alone at home. Now that he has free time, he crosses his legs and curls up in the cushion to browse the game mall.
After not visiting for a while, Ruan Cunyun discovered that a horror game he had been looking forward to for a long time was launched this weekend, and there was a special gift package for buying a physical cartridge.
Ruan Cunyun was overjoyed and called Xu Feifei: [Fei! Do you have time next weekend? I want to go to the shopping district to buy game cartridges and try them out. I promise not to go shopping this time!]
Xu Feifei asked, what game
After Ruan Cunyun said the name, Xu Feifei refused even with a hair: [Ah, no, no, no, you go by yourself! ]
Although Xu Feifei is a game master and looks carefree and fearless, he is actually very afraid of horror games.
Ruan Cunyun is just the opposite. He looks like a quiet, fair-skinned boy, but he actually likes exciting things, such as pendulums, horror movies, and big flying insects. Nothing scares him.
Ruan Cunyun swore: [I will buy it and go back, I won’t try it out. ]
Xu Feifei sent a crying face: [That’s not possible either, I have to work overtime. ]
Ruan Cunyun said in surprise, "You have been working overtime too much recently." Xu Feifei continued to send tearful expressions.
Just when Ruan Cunyun was planning to go alone, Qin Fanglu sent him a message asking about his weekend plans. Ruan Cunyun was still immersed in chatting with Xu Feifei, and without thinking, he said that he was going to the business district.
Qin Fanglu asked: [Are you going to the shopping district to buy something? ]
Ruan Cunyun gritted his teeth and said, "It's a season change, I'm going to buy new clothes."
Qin Fanglu said: [Okay, we can have a meal together.]
Since he had said it, he had to go. Ruan Cunyun dressed himself up neatly on the weekend, but began to regret it when he arrived at the business district.
Hey, why does he always slip up? I can't buy games today, and I have to waste time and energy shopping.
Qin Fanglu was casually wearing a loose sweatshirt and casual jeans today, which was very different from his elite temperament on weekdays.
Ruan Cunyun couldn't help but take a few more glances and said with a smile, "It looks good." Qin Fanglu said, "Then I will wear it more often in the future."
The atmosphere between two people who have done the most intimate thing is different. There is no need for too much eye contact, and their movements are in sync, and they hold hands naturally.
Order two different drinks at a restaurant and drink from each other without caring where each other's lips touch.
Under the table, Qin Fanglu's legs hooked around Ruan Cunyun's legs intentionally or unintentionally. Ruan Cunyun did not dodge, but hooked back. The four long legs overlapped and rubbed against each other, doing a secret thing openly.
With Qin Fanglu's company, Ruan Cunyun felt that shopping was not so difficult. Although he felt embarrassed to try on new clothes, he was very happy to see the surprise in Qin Fanglu's eyes.
The overly enthusiastic store clerk was no longer a problem to deal with because Qin Fanglu was there to handle it for him.
In the end, they actually bought two pieces of clothing, and they walked out chatting and laughing.
Ruan Cunyun was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw a physical store selling game cartridges not far ahead. His eyes flickered and he hurriedly looked away, then looked over there uncontrollably.
Wow, this is a cool new game release, with such a big poster, and it looks like there’s a discount… Help, I really want to go buy a lot!
Feeling a little regretful, Ruan Cunyun planned to try it again tomorrow and walked forward without looking around.
Unexpectedly, Qin Fanglu suddenly pulled him and glanced at the physical game store: "I want to go in and take a look, are you coming?"
Ruan Cunyun shuddered and asked in confirmation: "Which one are you talking about?"
"A game store," Qin Fanglu said. "I've played the old version of this horror game, and I just saw that it's been updated! Can you go shopping with me?"
Ruan Cunyun blurted out: "Okay."
Ruan Cunyun's attention was quickly drawn to the game. He couldn't suppress the excitement on his face and forgot to speak while watching.
While waiting in line for the trial version, Ruan Cunyun suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that it was Qin Fanglu standing next to him instead of Xu Feifei. A strange feeling ran up his spine.
He asked: "Qin Fanglu, have you played this game before?"
"I have played it before." Qin Fanglu laughed and counted on his fingers, "Besides this one, I have played several similar ones."
"Because I'm terrible at operating, I like to play games like this that are mainly plot-based, hahaha."
"Fuck." Ruan Cunyun opened his eyes wide, "You actually played a horror game? I thought you would be scared!"
Qin Fanglu crossed his arms and said, "A staunch materialist will never care about any monsters or demons. And I am very courageous."
Ruan Cunyun laughed for a while, and then lowered his voice: "Actually, I also play games normally. I like this game very much, too."
"People from the same family tend to stick to the same door." Qin Fanglu said shamelessly.
It was soon their turn to try out the game, and Ruan Cunyun handed the controller to Qin Fanglu with a spirit of humility.
Qin Fanglu took it calmly and was very familiar with the operation of each button and joystick on the handle. His fingers moved flexibly, and it was obvious that he was a veteran.
Ruan Cunyun watched silently, shocked beyond words.
What the hell! Qin Fanglu is playing games too
Ruan Cunyun was still immersed in shock when he saw a mass of human flesh and blood with a distorted face jumping out of the screen. Qin Fanglu shouted instantly, full of fear.
“Hahahahahahaha…” Ruan Cunyun couldn’t stop laughing, “Materialist, are you okay?”
Qin Fanglu raised his chin: "Very good - ah ah don't make a fuss, Ms. Skeleton!!"
Ruan Cunyun couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took Qin Fanglu's handle out of pity, walked through the dark room, and remained calm when he saw the underworld scenes.
"I didn't even know you played games." Ruan Cunyun said suddenly.
"I didn't dare to say it before." Qin Fanglu answered through his fingers with a smile, "I remember you said at the company event that you like mature and reliable people. I was afraid that you would think that people who play games are immature."
"What?" Ruan Cunyun stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Fanglu in surprise.
Ruan Cunyun almost forgot that he had said this, and he didn't know what Qin Fanglu was thinking.
"Playing games will not make a person unreliable," said Ruan Cunyun.
Qin Fanglu said, "Hmm," and said, "You are very reliable."
Ruan Cunyun said slowly: "If I had known that you also liked playing games, we would have played games at home on weekends."
"Now I know—ah!" Qin Fanglu's words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of the male corpse on the screen. He took a breath and said, "It's not too late to know now."
Seeing that Qin Fanglu was always avoiding the scary scene, Ruan Cunyun laughed and changed the game.
—It was the role-playing brawl game that the four of them had played at home with strangers online last time.
It is very easy, not difficult to operate, and can easily arouse people's desire to win.
"Are you coming?" Ruan Cunyun tilted his head, "I'm very strong."
Qin Fanglu immediately accepted the challenge: "I am the God of War, don't be afraid, I will let you surrender."
During the character selection stage, Qin Fanglu chose a pink ball-shaped Kirby without hesitation. Ruan Cunyun was originally hesitating between various power-type players, but he was amused when he saw this and raised his hand to choose a Jigglypuff.
When the game started, two round pink balls pecked at each other crazily in the center of the map, using fancy moves, but in the end they didn't cause much damage to each other.
I was quite nervous at first, thinking it was a high-end game, but after playing for a while I found out it was just a fight between noobs.
Ruan Cunyun laughed to death: "I don't care about you! I'm going to eat the props downstairs."
The little pink ball controlled by Qin Fanglu jumped down following the drumbeats: "I want to eat too."
This familiar picture and this familiar harmonious atmosphere add a layer of soft violin background music to even the fighting game.
Ruan Cunyun laughed as he fought: "I matched with an online friend before. He used Kirby just like you, but he didn't fight me either. We both used Jigglypuff's skills to sleep together."
"Haha, I met a netizen before, and he just chose Jigglypuff..."
Qin Fanglu stopped talking suddenly in the middle of his speech.
Ruan Cunyun was also stunned and turned his head straight: "No way?"
"Depend on."
Qin Fanglu and Ruan Cunyun looked at each other in disbelief.
Qin Fanglu came back to his senses first, leaning close to Ruan Cunyun's ear and saying, "Well, we don't need any skills tonight, we can sleep together."
