Lou Ying returned to the main god space and locked himself in the room for several days without saying a word. 089 and 023 knocked on the door several times, and he had no intention of receiving it.
Strong self-blame wrapped him up.
Chi Xiaochi is obviously his neighbor's younger brother, a teenager who grew up with him and is held in his hand. They do hope for the future together, but that is only a general understanding of the "future" by young people, and does not include Any interesting content.
How could I feel this way about him
How could he like Chi Xiaochi
Under the chaotic mood, Lou Ying could only rely on work to numb himself.
He received his eighth host non-stop and hurriedly took office.
Similar to the first host he had brought, the eighth host, Lu Fan, was a timid and restrained young man. He was ordinary in appearance and did not like to talk.
Lou Ying poured all his energy into and took him with great care.
Because even if he spared a little free time, he would use it uncontrollably to miss Chi Xiaochi.
In the past, Lou Ying always took this thought for granted.
Xiaochi is his younger brother, and he is always so uneasy. His every move will naturally affect Lou Ying's mind, making him want to hug him, comfort him, accompany him, and kiss his hair.
It's different now, everything is different, everything has changed.
Lou Ying began to escape.
During the rest period between missions, he no longer went back to visit Koike, but stayed by the host's side the whole time.
Lu Fan said embarrassedly, "Mr. Lou, you don't have to accompany me all the time, you can go about your own business."
Lou Ying lied: "I have nothing to do when I go back."
He hasn't gone back to visit relatives for a long time, and he hasn't gone to 023 for a long time to inquire about Chi Xiaochi.
Lou Ying believes that this kind of strange feeling is like an oil pan on fire. As long as the flame is suppressed with the lid to isolate the oxygen, it will slowly go out soon.
At that time, everything will return to the right track, and his out-of-shape feelings for Koike will gradually become normal.
However, this deliberate isolation has the exact opposite effect.
Lou Ying began to dream frequently, dreaming of his past with Chi Xiaochi, dreaming that he went out for a picnic with the grown-up Xiaochi, dreaming that he used an empty flower pot on Xiaochi's head to cut his hair.
The happier you are in your dreams, the more disappointed you are when you wake up.
One day, he even dreamed that Koike kissed him.
From that day on, he dared not dream again.
When Lu Fan slept, Lou Ying would always return to the Sanda field in the main god space by himself, knocking down all 17 opponents simulated by the system.
Lou Ying panted, fell in the middle of the empty field, covered his eyes with his hand, and gritted his teeth secretly.
... how can you think of him so much.
Lou Ying had never solved such a difficult problem in his life. He didn't know what to do to offset his feelings, so he could only run away, withdraw, and then throw away his armor.
He kept everything related to Chi Xiaochi and never talked about him to others.
023 was very worried about his condition, and wanted to ask him what he saw and what happened when he returned to the original world line to visit relatives.
But 089 stopped him: "Don't ask."
023 puzzled: "I just want to know what happened to him."
089 said: "He doesn't have the answer himself, how can he tell you."
Lou Ying was so careful to avoid everything about Chi Xiaochi, who would have thought that this avoidance would be broken so suddenly by the host Lu Fan.
One night, Lu Fan asked him, "Mr. Lou, are you free?"
Lou Ying treats every host with the same gentleness: "Yes. What's wrong?"
Lu Fan hesitated for a while before saying, "It's nothing, I just want to watch a movie with you."
As soon as the word "movie" was mentioned, Lou Ying's heart was twisted, and it was extremely sour.
He put out the shadow library and let Lu Fan choose it.
After turning two pages, Lu Fan might not have found a desired target, and he clicked on "Your Most Popular Movies".
Lou Ying's heart throbbed suddenly, and it was too late to think of anything to stop him.
Lu Fan pointed to "The Headland Murder Case" at the top of the list, and exclaimed, "215 times! Mr. Lou, is this movie so good??"
Lou Ying was speechless.
He couldn't even tell the lie that "this movie is not good", he could only nod his head: "Yes, it's not bad."
Lu Fan said excitedly, "If you like it so much, let's see this."
Lou Ying: "...Okay."
Although he is troubled by such unexpected emotions every day, Lou Ying has never forgotten his business.
After his investigation, Lu Fan's body is no exception buried with conductive lines that transmit entropy, and he sends out varying amounts of entropy every day.
Lou Ying recorded the daily fluctuation records in detail, and gradually found out through comparison, which world the host invested in the most affection, and the more involved the task object, the more energy he would get.
Lou Ying is not one to draw conclusions easily.
He will only list the problems and conditions he has discovered, and after careful calculation, he will finally come to a relatively reliable and logical conclusion.
The current evidence can at least show that the Lord God has serious behavior of violating the entropy value of greed.
Because in the contract between the system and the host, there is no provision in any of the provisions that will collect entropy from the host.
After Lu Fan completed his fourth mission, he took a half-month seaside vacation, and Lou Ying also returned to his long-awaited dormitory. A thorough summary and organization.
In the process of sorting out, he came up with the idea of complaining to the supervisory agency directly under him.
Lou Ying felt that there was a truth behind it that he could not touch.
Lou Ying's character is like this, and he does what he says.
He compared the existing materials and began to prepare the first draft of the complaint materials.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the filing of the appeal materials, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
… that’s the intense discomfort of being spied on.
Lou Ying turned back suddenly.
Behind him is a clean wall, with only a picture frame hanging on it, a landscape watercolor painted by him, which depicts the abandoned railroad tracks he and Chi Xiaochi once walked together under the sunset.
Just now... Was it his illusion
Lou Ying turned around and faced his record panel full of data, with a calm expression and his mind racing.
He remembered that the Lord God had signed strict privacy regulations with the system, one of which was that the Lord God had no right to spy on the system's personal privacy.
However, the main god also buried unregulated energy transmission lines in the host's body.
This proves that…
Lou Ying raised his hand, his fingertips condensed a light blue stream of data.
He put his finger on the wall, letting the silk thread entangle and melt with the wall composed of data, like putting a butterfly into a deep forest and letting the water flow into the sea.
Gradually, the light blue silk thread stretched to every part of the wall of the room, wrapping the room airtight like a cocoon.
As long as anyone wants to spy on him, it is impossible not to touch these threads.
Once touched, the information can be instantly fed back to Lou Ying.
Whether it's an illusion or not, it's always right to take precautions.
Lou Ying pulled away the stool and sat down to continue working.
Only at this time can he put Chi Xiaochi down a little.
After the second round of combing and review came to an end, Lou Ying stretched a few times on the stool, thinking about his next move.
He had to go back to Lu Fan's rest stop to see how he was doing on the beach vacation. After confirming that he was in good condition, he would...
… and then, where can I go
Lou Ying pressed his forehead in distress.
Once again he was swept away by the problem.
He could only give up thinking and returned to the rest station.
Unexpectedly, Lu Fan, who promised to go to the beach to drink coconuts, actually sat on his knees in the pure white space, and his expression was not very good.
Lou Ying asked softly, "Lu Fan, what's the matter?"
Lu Fan asked a very abrupt question: "Mr. Lou, do you have someone you like?"
Lou Ying's heart was stabbed without warning.
He calmly asked, "Why do you say that?"
Lu Fan said, "You are my system. I want to know more about you, so I went to watch all the videos you've watched. The videos you watch the most are all about a person named Chi Xiaochi."
Lou Ying turned his head: "He's an actor, I just like watching his movies. It's just that I've been too busy recently, so I haven't watched it anymore."
Lu Fan said, "However, the number of broadcasts has increased by seven."
"… what?"
Lu Fan turned on the screen, entered the movie library, selected "Movies you play most often", and found "The Headland Murder".
He pointed to the playback volume in the lower right corner.
… shows play 223 times.
Lu Fan whispered, "I watched it once that day and fell asleep. You watched the other seven times that night."
Lou Ying was stunned.
He remembered.
Before playing the movie that day, he quietly set the movie to loop mode.
Lu Fan fell asleep, and he tuned the movie to silent and replayed it over and over again.
During this time of replay, Lou Ying's heart was very peaceful, because he found an excuse to miss and stare at Chi Xiaochi.
... But even he himself did not expect that there were as many as 7 times.
"Xiaochi is my neighbor's younger brother." After a long pause, Lou Ying gritted his teeth and resisted, "I don't have that kind of feeling for him..."
Lu Fan's tone was strangely excited: "Really?"
Lou Ying stopped talking.
He remembered the feeling of biting a lemon in his heart when he saw the intimate behavior of Chi Xiaochi and Song Zhihuai that day, remembering the endless yearning and longing these days, and everything about Chi Xiaochi.
Lou Ying closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
Towards his heart, he gave the answer that was already ready to come out: "... False."
Lou Ying likes Chi Xiaochi.
After many years of leaving him alone in the world, I realized how much I liked him.
Lu Fan pursed his lips and smiled: "Aha, I knew it. Mr. Lou is so good, he should have had a name for a long time."
Lou Ying said, "No."
Lu Fan: "Nothing?"
Lou Ying: "He has 110,000 futures and possibilities. ... But it will never be me."
After saying these words, Lou Ying's heart that had been tense for a long time finally fell heavily.
During this period of time, his struggles and escapes were all because he refused to admit that Chi Xiaochi was someone who could never belong to him.
Chi Xiaochi has Lucas and Song Zhihuai, and more people will come to him in the future.
When Lou Ying died, he was his friend and his brother, and he would be fixed on this step forever, and it would be impossible to move forward even a single step.
"Ah..." Lu Fan paused for a moment, "In that case, does Mr. Lou still like him?"
After accepting the original answer, Lou Ying had the courage to answer all the questions.
He said to himself, "Yes, I like it."
Seeing Lu Fan fell silent again, Lou Ying remembered the question he wanted to ask when he first saw him here: "Aren't you going to the beach?"
"Don't go. I spent a long time in the sun alone, but I found that there was nothing to do." Lu Fan sniffed and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the next world."
They walked through two worlds together again, and Lou Ying began to pay attention to information related to Chi Xiaochi again.
Chi Xiaochi's new play is about to start. I heard that it is a basketball-related movie. In the movie, he has short hair, and a refreshing black sports hairband wraps his forehead, which makes his skin white and clean. He holds an orange-red basketball in his arms, and he is full of youth and health.
The crew was obviously very satisfied with this look of him, and also let him be short-lived during the promotion.
The host asked him, "How does it feel to cut your hair short?"
Chi Xiaochi thought for a while and said, "I don't feel like I have any clothes on."
Lou Ying watched the live broadcast of his publicity conference remotely. Hearing his nonsense, he couldn't help laughing and crying.
Sure enough, he attracted a lot of criticism from the media because of his "improper words and deeds", which not only attracted a lot of popularity for the movie in disguise, but also put himself on the cusp of the storm once again.
Lou Ying wanted to go back to accompany Chi Xiaochi, but Lu Fan said that he wanted to return to the original world as soon as possible, and didn't want to waste too much time on unnecessary rest, so they had to hurry up for a day or two at most each time. Go to the next world.
Lou Ying regards Lu Fan as hope, because he may be the first host who has the opportunity to return to his original world, so he is willing to accompany Lu Fan.
And because Lu Fan knew that he was not humane, Lou Ying was more willing to regard him as a friend than a "hope".
In his opinion, Lu Fan is the same.
He would even gossip about Lou Ying and Chi Xiaochi's past with a smile. When he was forced to do nothing, Lou Ying would pick up one or two interesting things and tell Lu Fan.
When speaking, Lou Ying's tongue is as sweet as the heart.
Soon, they entered Lu Fan's seventh mission world.
When he first opened his eyes, Lou Ying gave a suspicious "um" in his heart.
The first thing that wafted into my nose was the strong aroma of coffee, followed by the slight roar of the old copier as the brushes spit out paper.
On the computer in front of him, there is a PPT with a half-made advertising case, half-eaten biscuits on the left, a small humidifier spewing mist, and the lips that make people sleep-dry are quickly smeared with fragrance The smell of water vapor moistens.
What puzzled Lou Ying was that the breath of this world was too ordinary.
… like a normal world.
Generally speaking, starting from the third to fourth worlds, the world view of the quest world will deviate from the familiar category of the original owner. The fifth and sixth worlds will increase the difficulty of the quest, and there is a small probability that A-level difficulty will appear. The mission, the worldview of the seventh world, will be further differentiated from the previous worlds.
In short, it will not be as normal as it is now.
In order to avoid mistakes caused by his own subjective judgment, Lou Ying quickly browsed the tasks in this world, and found that it was the same ordinary—
The original owner is a diligent and conscientious young white-collar worker in an advertising agency. His parents are very loving. Although the family has no money, he grew up in a honey pot and developed the character of a happy little sweetheart.
One day, a design director was parachuted into his department. He was two or three months younger than the original owner. I heard that he was the son of a female industry boss and graduated from Cambridge. It stands to reason that he was parachuted into a deputy manager. It's all polite, but he somehow ended up in this small department.
The director's eyebrows and eyes were strangely similar to the original owner, so the colleague joked that the two of them must have been brothers in their previous lives.
The director didn't mind this kind of harmless little joke, and explained it for him with grace, and occasionally joked, calling him the original owner's brother.
The director is a very friendly and elegant person, and his pursuit of the original owner is also silent, unfolding step by step, capturing his heart little by little, and then snatching him into his arms.
The original owner was not gay before. At first, facing the pursuit of the director, he was very helpless and resisted for a period of time. Later, he slowly fell into love and fell in love.
Lou Ying had a bad premonition when he saw that two people looked alike.
Sure enough, the original owner and the director had been in a sweet relationship for two years, and they had planned to go abroad to get married, but inadvertently learned the fact that the director was his brother when the director called someone else.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the love and hatred of the parents' generation, and the retribution will come to the next generation.
The original owner's father stepped in the door and entered the house of the director's biological mother, but under his wife's strength, he became increasingly tired and could hardly breathe.
The unreliable love between the two was wiped out by the speed of light. The original owner's father soon fell in love with another mediocre woman, and secretly dated for a long time until the lover was pregnant, the month was getting bigger and bigger, and the matter could not be hidden. Only then did the wife find out what kind of man the man sleeping beside her was.
The wife was too lazy to keep such a man by her side, and only after kicking him out of the house did she realize that she also had a child.
Because of her personal physique, she did not abort the child, but gave birth to the child, and then sent it to a foreign country for education.
This kid is the current director.
Because he looks so much like his father, his mother is always indifferent to him.
He lost both his parents at the same time and grew up abroad like an orphan.
Years later, the director found out what had happened in his family from others, and went back to China to investigate, only to find that the family of the woman who stole his father was living a happy life, and the children of the two enjoyed what he had never enjoyed before. Passed, complete love, I don't even know what it was sacrificed for.
He's crazy.
So he tried every means to make his half-brother fall into the same madness as himself.
In the end, the original owner could not accept such an unethical relationship, was extremely distressed and depressed, and ended up committing suicide.
Lou Ying watched this plot full of unforgettable styles, and while his head was aching, he still couldn't ignore the unnaturalness of the world line itself.
- This type of world line should generally appear in the second and third missions, and it does not meet the basic characteristics that the seventh world line should have.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, Lou Ying always had an inexplicable strange feeling floating in his heart.
When Lu Fan read the world line, he screened the story from beginning to end again.
Rereading it again, he still hasn't come up with a decent result, but the weird feeling lingering in his heart is getting stronger.
Before he could sort out the thread from the mess, a document suddenly landed in front of him.
Lou Ying looked up, and in front of him was the former director of the original owner, a middle-aged man with sparse hair.
He knocked on the table: "This is Lola's final version of the shooting plan. It has been sent to the photographer before. You can send a few paper versions to Studio No. 3 and let them keep spares."
Lu Fan hurriedly responded, "Hey," and walked out of the office with the documents in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lou, download me a guide map of the company."
Without his reminder, Lou Ying has already started downloading.
When connected to the Internet, the already vague sense of weirdness in his heart became clear and strong again.
When the documents were delivered to Studio 3, the bearded photographer was debugging the machine. His assistant took the documents and sent Lu Fan away coldly.
Because of Chi Xiaochi, Lou Ying also had a basic understanding of things in the circle.
An indoor advertisement is about to be shot here. The ground is covered with snow-white fluffy feathers. Hundreds of spotlights preform dazzling light and shadow. The texture of all props is quite advanced. It can be seen that this advertisement has at least considerable sincerity in the preliminary preparations.
When he came out of the shed, Lu Fan nervously stroked his chest: "They are really big."
Lou Ying started to plan for Lu Fan's scumbag attack in this world, and comforted casually: "It's normal. Doing their business..."
During the conversation, one person, one system left the No. 3 shed, and entered the office lobby of the main building through the side door.
When Lou Ying followed the host, he used to find out the surrounding situation for the host at the first time every time he entered a door.
After his eyes turned halfway across the hall, his heart suddenly numb and stopped beating for a moment.
At first, Lou Ying thought that he missed Koike so much that he would see his phantom.
But around Xiaochi in Lou Ying's fantasy, there is often no head that always keeps colorful and changes color every season like Miracle Warmth.
Lucas' hair has grown a bit longer and has been dyed a vibrant burgundy.
And Chi Xiaochi's hair has not had time to grow long, and the short hair above the ears adds a bit of a capable style to him. The long dark blue cashmere coat only covers half of his thighs, and the knees and The calf line is extremely clean and neat.
He was wearing a pair of sunglasses that were big enough to cover half of his face. Probably because he had been outdoors for a bit longer in winter, the lower half of his face was pale from freezing, only the blood had returned to his lips, showing a tinge of blush.
However, even though he was dressed like this, the man was sipping a cup of hot bubble tea, as childish as ever.
Lou Ying's heartbeat slowly accelerated, and finally reached a drum-like frequency.
He finally realized where the faint sense of weirdness came from just now.
The problem is not the plot of the world line at all, but the world line itself.
—This is World Line 707.
- World Line 707 is the world he has lived in, and the world where Chi Xiaochi exists.
… what kind of luck would have allowed him to be randomly teleported in here
Before Lou Ying could understand the question, Chi Xiaochi and Lucas had already walked in their direction one after the other.
Lucas lowered his head to check the itinerary on the memo, while Chi Xiaochi focused on the pearls in the milk tea cup, and didn't plan to focus on the little employee who was looking at him.
The direction they're going... It's shed three.
Lu Fan also recognized who the person walking towards him was, he stood still, and whispered, "...Mr. Lou?"
Lou Ying's heart was numb for a while, and he was speechless.
It was not until he saw Chi Xiaochi with his own eyes that Lou Ying realized how strongly he missed him.
want to hug him.
Want to kiss his ear.
I want to say what I like about him, even if I say it is lost.
All this, he could only think about it in the past.
But now, he has the ability to make it happen.
Although there is a ban within the system that does not allow the system to have entities in the mission world, it is impossible for the main god to keep an eye on them all the time.
As long as the host's consent is obtained and energy is not used, then transforming into a body and acting freely is completely a matter of opening one eye and closing one eye.
As Chi Xiaochi got closer and closer, Lou Ying's sanity was gradually swallowed up by the thoughts he hadn't seen for months.
When he was about to pass by Chi Xiaochi, Lou Ying unexpectedly drove the original owner's hand and gently placed it on Chi Xiaochi's forearm that was holding the milk tea.
… for nearly a decade.
After exhausting these ten years, Lou Ying, who had passed by with Koike countless times, finally met him in earnest.
Even so, he only dared to touch his forearm restrainedly.
Chi Xiaochi's reaction was several times more extreme than he imagined.
He simply knocked Lou Ying's hand off with a snap, which was extremely loud.
Lou Ying was stunned.
Chi Xiaochi frowned, took two steps back, and looked at the stranger with 100,000 vigilance and hostility.
Lucas, who has been stunned by the negative news of Chi Xiaochi these days, has developed a conditioned reflex, and immediately put down his mobile phone and jumped out of his spirit to help Chi Xiaochi: "Sorry, sorry, he didn't rest well last night, If you get up again, don't get to know him in the same way."
Lucas held Chi Xiaochi down and whispered fiercely, "Quickly say sorry."
Chi Xiaochi lowered his head and apologized.
With the accumulation of experience in the seven worlds, Lu Fan's on-the-spot reaction ability is not weak: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are that... That Chi Xiaochi, Mr. Chi? I, I heard that you will come, so I wanted one. sign."
Lucas was afraid of Chi Xiaochi's trouble again, so he almost forced him to sign Lu Fan's autograph.
When the little employee who came to ask for the autograph walked away, Lucas patted Chi Xiaochi on the back angrily: "My living ancestor! Don't make trouble for me! If you're photographed, you're doing it right. Big name, you can't tell with ten mouths! I've been busy enough lately, don't you change your tricks and give me more work, okay?!"
Chi Xiaochi frowned: "I don't like others touching me casually."
Lucas just remembered, and said, "I forgot. I don't feel bad for my stomach."
Chi Xiaochi bit the straw in a daze: "It's okay."
After a brief encounter, the two went in completely opposite directions.
Chi Xiaochi seemed to have something on his mind, he touched his arm that was touched by the hand just now, then moved his hand to his chest, pressed it hard, and there was a little confusion between his eyebrows.
He stopped and looked back at the young man who had reached the diagonal of the hall and was about to go up the stairs.
Lou Ying in Lu Fan's body looked back at Chi Xiaochi silently, tracing his eyebrows with his eyes.
But Lu Fan walked away without looking back.
Seeing that the man didn't have any intention of looking back, Chi Xiaochi himself felt how ridiculous the thought that he had just came up with for no reason.
He pulled the corner of his lips, threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can, and then strode towards the No. 3 shed.
