"Sumo."
Su Mo raised his head slightly and saw the man next to him looking at him, with an emotion in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
He was about to ask something when he was suddenly embraced by the man.
The hug came suddenly, as if it was uncontrollable, but also as if it should have been so long ago.
Yu Zhen's hand stopped at the back of Su Mo's neck, and he seemed to be stroking him through his clothes, patiently and gently.
"Su Mo," Yu Zhen said softly, "Raise your head."
Su Mo was startled when he heard this. When he raised his head from his arms, he suddenly felt a touch on his forehead.
Yu Zhen kissed Su Mo's forehead for a brief moment, then held him tightly in his arms.
Su Mo blinked, no longer feeling the touch on his forehead, "Brother, can you kiss me for a while longer?"
The man's hug tightened in response and he heard a voice in his ear.
Yu Zhen said: "I suddenly feel a little regretful."
Su Mo put his hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong?"
Yu Zhen's heart was filled with sorrow and pain, "I couldn't be with you earlier."
If I had come to you earlier, would you have been happier
After getting the report, the two drove home.
After arriving home, Su Mo sat on the sofa, flipping through the paper report page by page, as if he was going to write down every word in the report. He opened the cabinet under the table in the living room and took out another report.
"What is this?" Yu Zhen sat next to him.
Su Mo: "In my physical examination report when I was 16, Dr. Wu told me that I might never be cured in my lifetime."
This report had been in the backlog for a long time. It was the first time he received a diagnosis that the disease was incurable. He was sad for a long time after receiving the report. In the end, he put the report under the emergency medicine, as if putting it there would remind him of his weakness and the importance of health. Later, even though the physical report was always in good condition, he did not dare to take it lightly. Until today, he has waited for another confirmation.
He put the two reports together and finally stuffed them at the bottom of the drawer.
Yu Zhen asked: "Why put them together?"
Su Mo smiled and said, "Press down the old one and keep the good one on top. I will get better and better."
"I don't remember clearly." Su Mo closed the drawer. "When my father was still alive, he always liked to do this. He was also a researcher, working in the research institute with my mother. When he was doing research, he always liked to put the old or discarded reports at the bottom."
"I asked him why. He said to suppress the old one and keep the good one on top, and things will get better and better in the future."

The happy mood continued until Hong Guoguo received a gift package of props from his elder brother when he came online.
Out-of-stock props, newly made props and several prop recipes were all handed to him. As soon as he went online, he was blessed with good fortune. Hong Guoguo was so happy that he was dizzy and asked three questions in a row.
"Fuck, I haven't even asked you for restock yet."
"This new item is amazing. Did you make an extra 1-minute puppet?"
"Recipes!! Can you give me all these recipes?"
The only response he got was a cold "hmm" from his elder brother, as if these things that could make a lot of money were just small toys for him. Hong Guoguo felt that he didn't understand his elder brother. First, he gave Brother Xing a lot of forging materials, and then gave him so many money-making toys... He was a little flattered and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you need to collect any materials recently?"
Su Mo simply said, "If there are any high-level materials for summoners and array masters, please keep an eye out for them for me. Not only weapons, but also equipment materials."
Hong Guoguo was stunned for a moment, and finally found an excuse: "Equipment materials? Are you planning to rush to the rankings? You have been climbing the rankings very fast recently. If you improve your equipment, according to the amazing speed of the Tianxia Lundao Conference, you may be able to enter the top five after the battle!"
When Su Mo heard Hong Guoguo say this, he realized that he hadn't paid attention to the rankings for a long time.
Previously, I was ranked 12th in the overall ranking, but now I am ranked 10th, with popular professions such as archer, formation master, and physical swordsman ahead of me.
The same goes for Yu Zhen, who was originally in an upper-middle position in the fiercely competitive formation master sect, but before he knew it, he had become the third among formation masters and is now 11th in the overall ranking.
As for other teammates, Qingfeng has entered the top fifteen physical swordsmen, Zhige has entered the top thirty assassins, and Hong Guoguo has entered the top five healers.
Yu Zhen’s weapon is not yet complete, and he is missing two pieces of equipment, but he is still ranked third among formation masters.
If his equipment is ready, his ranking should go up a level. Su Mo looked at the ranking of Yu Zhen's archer account. The current score gap with the second place is a little small. He may soon fall from the first place of the archer sect, and even be surpassed by Ta Yunzhong in the overall ranking. He asked about this some time ago, but Yu Zhen didn't seem to plan to play a big account, and had already focused on the account of the formation master.
Climb the rankings
Su Mo suddenly became interested, "Do you have the ranking points formula?"
Hong Guoguo paused, "Of course there are. Some of my colleagues specialize in this business. They help bosses customize equipment and scores. As long as the money is in place, the equipment can be upgraded. However, the Tianhuan overall ranking is not a krypton gold ranking. It is calculated by the main brain. The specific formula cannot be announced, but there is a certain proportion. It can be said that it is mainly based on the equipment level and the character's clearance score."
He said: "That is to say, even if your equipment is average, as long as your clearance score is high enough, you can still occupy a place on the leaderboard."
The overall character rating is the most representative list compiled based on various player data.
Among them, equipment can be obtained by spending materials, but the score of oddities depends on luck. On the one hand, it depends on whether you can encounter many oddities, and on the other hand, it also depends on whether your oddities can get high scores.
"You can still collect the materials, especially the quenching materials." Su Mo said, "It's the World Forum now, there are a lot of material boxes, and the price of some materials should be reduced. You can collect as much as you can for me. Is the money enough?"
"That's definitely enough. The tools and recipes you gave me can all make money. Don't worry, I'm never vague about making money."
After Hong Guoguo finished speaking, she suddenly thought of a question, "Wait? Brother, do you also accept quenching materials for formation masters?"
Su Mo: "Collect."
Hong Guoguo: “…”
Su Mo: "Not enough money?"
Hong Guoguo: “… Enough.”
It is difficult for a younger brother to understand his elder brother’s heart.
Climbing the leaderboards is a long-term job. In the past two days, after Su Mo went online, he spent all his time with Yu Zhen to complete side quests except for the daily dungeons with his teammates. Since they knew the hidden quests for weapon forging materials, they simply did some similar quests. In order to facilitate communication, the two did not team up with their teammates when doing quests. After forming a team, they just ran the quests.
So for two consecutive days, the small group that used to form teams of five suddenly split into two teams.
Of the remaining three people, except Zhi Ge, the other two kept saying that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
The two bosses were indeed forming a team, but they were doing a hidden mission and didn't want to be disturbed while doing the mission. It was normal to form a team, but they just felt something was wrong.
On Thursday and Friday, Yu Zhen visited Su Mo's house every day as usual.
After staying in Su Mo's house for a long time, he gradually noticed some of Su Mo's habits, such as asking Lele for candy after taking medicine, or going to the laboratory before taking a nap, and sleeping in a curled up position... There are many such habits. In the past, Su Mo was like a detained child. In the eyes of outsiders, he was an impeccable existence, but in fact he was a bit lazy, probably because he had poor health since childhood and had to rely on Lele for some things.
Yu Zhen has been a bit busy lately. His family has given him a lot of projects to look for, and his parents have called him many times to ask if his vacation is over and when he will be home. But taking over a job requires preparation in advance, so he has been dealing with work all the time besides playing games these days.
In the past, when Su Mo was resting, he was usually dealing with work.
His work is somewhat similar to Su Mo's major. When they take a break after lunch, they occasionally mention some journals or professional frontier issues. Although Su Mo is a student, he has a wealth of theoretical knowledge and is sensitive and professional about problems. He has raised sharp questions several times, which has greatly inspired Yu Zhen.
After returning from the physical examination on Thursday, Su Mo's attitude towards him became more intimate. The two of them still adhered to the one-month pursuit time limit, but in fact, Su Mo's attitude was already that of treating him as a close person.
During the lunch break, Yu Zhen turned on the computer as usual and started looking at documents, while Su Mo was reading two thick books on the sofa.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, but Su Mo felt sleepy as he watched. Sometimes he sat up straight, sometimes he sat slouched, and it seemed like his eyelids were fighting each other.
Yu Zhen noticed this problem and was about to remind him to take a rest when the boy sitting next to him suddenly leaned over.
I rested my head on his shoulder, and as if a switch was turned on, I fell asleep.
"Su Mo?" Yu Zhen called softly.
The latter did not respond, as if he thought his shoulders were the pillow of the sofa and was about to fall down while leaning on them.
Lele noticed the situation here and came over to take Su Mo to his room to sleep.
Yu Zhen waved at it, then supported Su Mo and carefully adjusted the angle so that the other person could sleep with his head resting on his legs, which would be more comfortable.
"Don't wake him up." Yu Zhen whispered to Lele.
Lele nodded repeatedly, looked for a while, picked up the blanket next to him and covered Su Mo with it, and considerately adjusted the temperature in the living room to a suitable temperature for sleeping.
When it is time for Sumo to go to bed, Lele would do housework very quietly, without making any sound at all.
The living room returned to silence. Yu Zhen put the two heavy books aside. If he moved a little, the person sleeping there would be woken up. He looked down nervously. The latter was not woken up, but adjusted his position, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
The sofa in the room is long and wide enough. After Su Mo falls asleep, he likes to wrap himself in a blanket and curl up into a ball, just like an insecure child.
Yu Zhen looked at him quietly for a long time, and finally looked away.
He whispered, "Good afternoon."

Time flies, and soon it's Saturday of the new week.
The second round of the World Forum was held at 9am on Saturday. A group of people agreed to enter the Forum Summit at 8:30am on Saturday. As soon as they entered, they found that the other peaks were already full of players. The first round of the World Forum was all odd stories or odd stories missions, with five-star and four-star difficulty, but it still eliminated a lot of players who took advantage of the situation.
Compared with the mountains in the first stage, there are far fewer peaks in the Summit of Discussion.
Soon it was 9 o'clock, and the time countdown on the main brain was reset to zero, showing a new countdown.
The whole server has announced that the world is discussing the Dao. The second stage of the special form of the story "The World Discussion Meeting" is now open. This story is a comprehensive story. The challenge format of the second stage is [Eight Desolate Terraces]. Players enter the Eight Desolate Terraces scene through the top of the discussion stone tablet. The system will select 40 challenge maps from the official story library. The team entering [Eight Desolate Terraces] will be randomly matched with opponents. If you win over the opponent, you will accumulate 1 point. If the player team accumulates 10 points and the winning rate is above 50%, it will be promoted to the third stage.
Please note that this stage lasts for 14 days. The overall difficulty of this anecdote is ★★★★★★★★, and the difficulty of a single game is ★★★★--★★★★★★.
The winner will receive the [Basic Reward Box] and the [Score Pass Award], while the loser will not receive any reward. The [Basic Reward Box] will randomly open a treasure chest reward. The [Score Pass Award] will be scored based on the player's battle situation and the difficulty of the opponent. The richer the battle data, the higher the chance of opening a high-level treasure chest, and the highest treasure chest can be obtained.
Please note that this [Bahuangtai] has a fixed opening time. Different branch servers will use the Capital Star branch server as a unified timing standard. The opening time is the Capital Star standard time 9:00-12:00; 14:00-16:00; 20:00-24:00 time period. Challenges are not allowed at other times.
We are currently counting the teams participating in the second phase. A total of 236,598 teams have participated, and 86,549 teams have advanced to the second phase.
Your ranking in this stage is 3. Please complete the challenge within the specified time.
Hong Guoguo only saw the final ranking. "We are ranked third in the first stage! Who are the two ahead of us?"
"There are quite a few teams that have passed all three dungeons. The ranking at this stage should be related to the clearance score." Kugua explained: "We cleared the Senluo Tower dungeon perfectly, and the ones ahead of us should have also completed it perfectly. Maybe the two four-star oddities played more carefully. The difference between the top few is not much, just a few points in the score, it's okay."
"Why are you all focusing on the rankings? Didn't you see the announcement saying that we would randomly match our opponents?" Xigua keenly noticed the difference in the wording of the announcement this time. "We are going to compete with other player teams!"
"The second stage is a PVP battlefield? Wow, this is getting interesting!" Huo Shu Yin Hua suddenly became excited. The battlefield is so fun. "Meeting opponents randomly, isn't that like opening a blind box?"
Blind box opponents, judging from the situation in the previous stage, the opponents they will encounter in this stage should be difficult and easy. The easy ones are ordinary players, and the difficult ones are the ranking teams.
Player teams that can enter the second stage are less reckless and more cautious.
Now that the announcement has ended, the players on the mountains around them are not in a hurry to enter the Eight Desolate Terrace Stele, and seem to be studying the announcement information.
"According to the announcement, you need to have a winning rate of more than 50% while accumulating 10 wins within 14 days." Su Mo checked the announcement carefully and concluded, "It's not that winning 10 games is enough in the literal sense. If you have enough wins but only a 25% winning rate, the system will not determine that you advance."
Upon comparison, it seems that we have plenty of time this time, but in fact there are still difficulties.
First, there are random maps. Map difficulty is a potential influencing factor. Second, there are random opponents. Team battles require coordination. Even if the opponent is not a leaderboard player, he or she may have excellent coordination. The difficulty of the opponent is another factor. Finally, there is the time point. This time, the opening time is divided into three time points. Obviously, the purpose is to gather players to the specified time points for matching and participating. The time of a single game is uncertain and variable, and time may also become their limitation.
"To put it simply, it is indeed a battlefield. The opponent is difficult, and the map is also difficult." Su Mo briefly explained the announcement to his teammates.
Hong Guoguo rarely plays in the battlefield. He is a typical PVE player. He never goes to the battlefield if he can. If his teammates were not helpful in earning monster points for him to exchange for equipment, he would not even have a set of PVP equipment. "Brother, is there a simple way to win?"
Yu Zhen said: "Win ten games in a row."
Hong Guoguo turned back to look at the formation master in horror: "Brother Xing, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're starting to make jokes."
How can winning ten games in a row be the easiest way? This is a very difficult way!!
"It is indeed the easiest." Su Mo looked at Hong Guoguo and explained to him: "The easiest way is to win 10 games in a row and then stop. But I don't recommend it. This challenge lasts for 14 days, and you can get a treasure chest for every victory. Wouldn't it be better to win more and open more treasure chests?"
Yu Zhen: “Yeah.”
Other teammates: “… ?”
Others are trying to win 10 games to maintain a 50% win rate, why do they want to fight more to get treasure chests? ?
And what's wrong with these two? They're singing the same tune? Are they really going to fight for 14 consecutive days
At this time, another voice sounded in the team, and it was very excited.
"Good!" Xigua added, "It's good to fight on the battlefield, fight more."
Su Mo looked at Xigua in surprise.
Hong Guoguo: "Watermelon? Are you real?"
The author has something to say: (Start calculating): Brush more materials, it can be used to rush to the top of the list.
Brother Xing (indulging): Okay.
Watermelon looked fearless: The battlefield is my home ground.
Others:
:oh.
