Tao Zhiyue was stunned and involuntarily turned his head to look at the handsome guy in white T-shirt. Coincidentally, the other party also looked at him with some surprise.
His brow bones were high, which made his eye sockets look deep, making his eyes look particularly bright, as if they were filled with stars at night.
Their eyes met for a full half minute before Tao Zhiyue suddenly reacted and hastily looked away. His movement was so big that even the earphones slipped down to his neck.
He heard his own heartbeat.
His chest felt hot and his ears felt like they were wrapped in a film. He was isolated in his own world, with only the rumbling sound in the sky.
His heart felt slightly itchy, a feeling that was extremely unfamiliar to him.
Tao Zhiyue has never been in love, nor has he ever been moved. His concept of "like" is limited to secretly collecting posters of popular idols during his school days.
So after calming down, Tao Zhiyue gave an explanation for his abnormal behavior that convinced himself.
It must be because of embarrassment.
Thinking this in his mind, he pretended to be very natural and reached out to cover his ears which were so red that they were about to bleed.
The handsome guy in white T-shirt was still looking at him. Seeing this, he took off his headphones and couldn't help but say: "Your..."
Tao Zhiyue has already learned to answer quickly: "It's okay, it's just a skin allergy, it will be fine in a while."
The handsome guy in the white T-shirt said "oh" as if he was thinking about something, and then turned his head silently.
Tao Zhiyue breathed a sigh of relief, focused his attention on the game again, and forced himself not to pay attention to the other person.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing headphones, and the two girls on the other side didn't hear their conversation and were still happily chatting in the game.
[atqwhst: You two really have a good chemistry, hahahaha.]
[Want to buy lottery tickets today: I decided to buy a few more lottery tickets, it’s so exciting today.]
[atqwhst: By the way, how long will this trial last? What should we experience now?]
[Want to buy lottery tickets today: group play? ]
[atqwhst: Hello, are you two handsome guys still here? ]
Tao Zhiyue quickly followed the topic and pretended nothing had happened.
[A peach: Do you want to go around the map separately first? After you level up a few times, you should be able to find your first beginner's book.]
[Want to buy lottery tickets today: Sure, I support you! ]
[A fool: You can play until the museum closes in the evening.]
[A fool: It seems to be six o'clock.]
[atqwhst: Wow!!!]
[Want to buy lottery tickets today: Thank you, silly handsome guy. ]
[Want to buy lottery tickets today? From now on, I will be a die-hard fan of the War of the Roses! ]
Tao Zhiyue was also very surprised and couldn't help but sigh.
[A peach: I am so lucky today.]
[A fool: I think so too^-^]
When Tao Zhiyue saw this smiling expression with curved eyebrows, his whole body trembled.
In his impression, this expression is rarely used anymore. Now with all kinds of cute emoticons flourishing, this simple smile has almost become a thing of the past.
The last time I saw someone use this expression was from the HR who always steals his expression packs.
By the way, HR is on a business trip in Jinbei City.
After untying the knot in his heart, Tao Zhiyue felt a little regretful. Why did he so decisively reject the HR's meeting invitation that day
It would be great if we could go out for a meal together.
The feeling of regret flashed across his mind, and Tao Zhiyue concentrated on the game again.
The game graphics of War of the Roses are quite exquisite, with beautiful scenery. The NPCs in the map have their own characteristics and will interact with players.
The four people were scattered across the map, wandering around according to their own interests and taking on missions by the way.
After everyone had enough fun and their game level had reached the lowest level of the novice dungeon, they formed a team to open the dungeon again.
Although it was the lowest-level novice copy, the plot and monsters were designed with great care, and the scenes were full of fantastic ideas, so much so that they were reluctant to leave the copy after clearing it.
Everyone had a great time during the long afternoon.
Tao Zhiyue was very sure that if the audience outside who had queued for five hours to experience the experience for ten minutes knew what happened here, they would probably find it difficult to walk out standing.
In the blink of an eye, it was five fifty in the evening. Following the careful reminder of the staff, several people reluctantly took off their headphones and quit the game.
"I was just here to take a look, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon here." The curly-haired girl said with emotion, "Well, now I'm also a popular person. I'll post on Weibo and flatter you when I get home."
When they were chatting casually in the game earlier, everyone learned that the girl with curly hair was a well-known blogger.
The girl who was about to buy a lottery ticket agreed wholeheartedly. She curiously asked the staff: "Will you conduct a public beta test in advance? I really want to play with my friends."
"No..." The staff member thought for a moment, quickly glanced at the boy in the white T-shirt, and then changed his words uncertainly, "Not necessarily? If there is a change, it will definitely be announced in advance."
Tao Zhiyue was keenly aware of his gaze and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
The other staff member who was carrying the camera finally finished his work. Because the game lasted too long, he simply found a platform to set up the camera and adjusted the angle and distance at any time according to the instructions of the boy in the white T-shirt.
The curly-haired girl noticed the camera and asked in surprise, "You recorded the whole thing?"
The boy in the white T-shirt smiled cheerfully: "Yes."
"Ah, I'm so envious. I'm starting to regret why I didn't record it." The curly-haired girl said regretfully, "It's good to keep it as a souvenir. It's such a rare experience."
"I recorded it and brought it back for my sister to watch. She has wanted to play this for a long time, but she is busy with graduation and can't come."
Tao Zhiyue recalled what the other party asked the staff before he created his ID, and immediately realized that he must look like his sister, so he deliberately created a character based on his sister and named him a fool.
What a childish brother.
…but it’s kind of cute.
"You're so jealous. Do you still need a sister?" The two girls present didn't know about this and were collectively envious.
Tao Zhiyue was also very jealous, as he had always wanted to have a younger sister.
I hope that in another world, the second child my parents give birth to will be a sister. Girls are always more caring and warm, and will definitely be able to take better care of their parents than he does.
The only pity is that he will never see his sister again.
In response to the two people's teasing, the boy in the white T-shirt answered quite seriously: "No shortage, one is enough to be naughty."
"Then you still need... Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask."
The lottery girl glanced at him and Tao Zhiyue, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.
The staff came to distribute questionnaires. The content was very simple. Tao Zhiyue remembered that it was the same questionnaire that people would receive when queuing up outside for the trial version.
The two girls quickly filled out the form, added each other as friends on PP, and left together.
"See you in the game if we're lucky enough. I'll still use this hairstyle." The curly-haired girl said goodbye to them with a smile.
The boy in the white T-shirt just wrote a few words hastily, as if he was just going through the motions.
Tao Zhiyue didn't have time to care about the outside world. He bent over the table and carefully wrote down his experience, from the game world view to any details he noticed, such as the impact of combat actions and possible logical bugs in some functions...
The convention center began to clear out and the surroundings gradually became quiet. Tao Zhiyue had unknowingly filled two pages of paper. His hands were sore, but he still felt unsatisfied.
War of the Roses is an excellent MMORPG game. When he was experiencing it, he was half in the mindset of a player and half in the perspective of a developer, trying to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the game from the overall and technical details.
The staff member had a dreamy expression on his face when he received the filled-in questionnaire.
As expected, he is the lucky audience member randomly selected by the big boss, and he is also a big boss.
Tao Zhiyue rubbed his wrist and was about to pick up his backpack and leave, but he saw a boy in a white T-shirt sitting upright next to him.
The boy in white T-shirt stared at him steadily, his eyes flickering.
Tao Zhiyue was surprised, "I thought you all had left."
"I was watching you fill out the questionnaire." The boy in the white T-shirt answered truthfully, "You are very patient and focused. I have been watching until now without realizing it."
Before Tao Zhiyue could respond, the boy in the white T-shirt continued, "I saw you taking notes in the exhibition hall this morning. I was deeply impressed. Are you a game developer?"
Tao Zhiyue suddenly became "allergic" again.
This time, he ignored his burning ears with experience and said calmly, "No, I'm a programmer."
It turns out that this is why he became a lucky audience member.
Without him knowing, the other party had already seen him.
The boy in the white T-shirt showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, suddenly remembered something, picked up the thing at hand and handed it to him.
Tao Zhiyue thought he would hand over a business card or something like that, so he took it and saw that it was actually a box of chlorpheniramine.
"I'm sorry. I was so engrossed in playing this afternoon that I forgot. I should have given it to you earlier. As soon as you mentioned it, I asked the staff to buy it."
The boy in the white T-shirt apologized, "You have severe allergies. It would be better if you take some anti-allergy medicine."
In an instant, my ears felt so hot that they seemed to melt.
Tao Zhiyue was even a little flustered. So far, everything that had happened after meeting the boy in white T-shirt was beyond his imagination.
Especially his own chaotic and complicated emotions.
The only thing that seemed familiar to him was the other person's sincere and genuine expression.
Just like the HR he met on the Internet.
Tao Zhiyue's heart was beating like a drum. He hurriedly thanked the stranger in front of him, and then fled away.
But after walking out of the convention and exhibition center, looking at the huge building that was resting at night, Tao Zhiyue actually felt a little lost in his heart.
Today has been a day of ups and downs.
He made new friends, heard news about Huo Ran, and played a very popular new game.
And... meeting someone who makes him blush like he has an allergy.
Tao Zhiyue walked in the cool night breeze and thought for a long time how to summarize the mood that person brought to him.
As a result, after tossing it over and over again and running out of words, my head is still empty. There is no handsomeness, no thoughtfulness, no sincerity, and no mystery.
He just thought the other person was cute.
Tao Zhiyue walked all the way with the medicine box of loratadine tightly in his hand. He felt like a fool at this moment.
The phone in his pocket rang with a message alert. Tao Zhiyue felt like he had found a savior and quickly took it out and opened it.
No matter which app's push messages he forgot to turn off, even if they were spam messages that usually annoyed him to death, he would now be able to read them word by word for half an hour.
Then he saw the message from HR.
[hr: Dr. Tao, I met a very special person today.]
[hr: My mood has become very strange, I can’t describe it in words.]
[hr: If it’s not too presumptuous, I would like to ask Dr. Tao a question.]
[hr: Under what circumstances do you think someone is cute?]
