The small island that migrated from afar arrived at the predetermined coordinates, adding a touch of vitality to the endless sea.
A faint golden light flashed, and a line of words appeared outside the island: [An island with a brown bear].
The small private chat box on the screen is still stuck on the conversation from two minutes ago.
Tao Zhiyue felt that his face must be extremely red and his head must be so hot that it seemed like smoking.
This is more solemn.
In the context of middle-aged people, what does solemn mean
Tao Zhiyue almost opened the search engine and searched for the meaning of solemnity.
Before his fingers moved, Tao Zhiyue decisively instructed his brain to control his body and stop this stupid and illiterate behavior.
If the names of Peach and Idiot during the day were purely accidental, then the name of HR at night should have been changed to imitate him, right...
Tao Zhiyue lacks romantic literary talent and has always been bad at naming. In PP and technical communities, he is simply called Tao. As for entertainment forums and games that are not suitable for being associated with real names, Tao Zhiyue will be stuck at the naming stage for a long time.
In the end, they chose common and uncreative names like "Hedgehog" and "Peach".
So when Tao Zhiyue saw the silly meme about Director X of XX Mental Hospital on the Internet, he quickly changed his original forum nickname to "Taozi76267" and was very proud of his own wit.
For a while, Tao Zhiyue envied people with the surname Bo because they could name all their user names like pineapples, which are neutral and easy to remember, while peaches always sound like girls.
This shows that the world where naming is useless is really sad.
So why did HR imitate him and change his name to this boring one? Why did she ask him if he had a boyfriend
With his face flushed and his heart beating for a long time, Tao Zhiyue still turned on Qiandu while despising himself.
[Solemn: A Chinese word that means careful and serious.]
Good, he was really retarded today.
Tao Zhiyue lowered his head deeply, too embarrassed to face himself whose IQ had dropped.
He kept repeating the phrase “HR is a straight guy who likes girls” in his mind, but still couldn’t hide his excitement.
In any case, he felt indescribably happy at this moment.
Tao Zhiyue got up and ran to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, then drank a large glass of ice water, forced himself to cool down physically, and managed to regain some composure.
After he came back, he sat upright, took a screenshot of the game without changing his expression, and saved it into the folder filled with the little hedgehog's life.
Having your first neighbor is certainly something worth commemorating, and it should be captured and saved.
He didn't do that to save HR's answer.
[A brown bear: Here I am!]
[A brown bear: Can I come visit my new neighbors now?]
HR seemed to have realized that Tao Zhiyue on the other side had stopped moving, so he sent a cautious test.
[A brown bear: Doctor Tao, are you offline?]
[A brown bear: /poke]
Tao Zhiyue felt a little guilty and made up an excuse.
[A hedgehog: Sorry, I just received a phone call.]
[A hedgehog: I see, your island is very beautiful.]
[A hedgehog: /flower]
[A brown bear: Dr. Tao, can I call you later?]
Tao Zhiyue widened his eyes.
Then the screen went black, and when Tao Zhiyue came back to his senses, he found that he had reflexively pressed the power button.
Okay, this time I’m really offline.
Local physical cooling was not enough, so Tao Zhiyue walked into the bathroom with unsteady steps, took off his clothes stiffly, turned on the shower, and let himself be engulfed by the dense stream of water.
Why... call him
Tao Zhiyue had a head full of white shampoo foam. He rubbed his hair mechanically and felt like a robot that had malfunctioned due to water taking in its hair.
When he came out again, he stayed away from the computer and mobile phone, as if he was avoiding some terrible allergen.
Tao Zhiyue crawled into the bed that he used to fall asleep as soon as he touched it. He closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with what HR had said.
He rolled back and forth countless times on the large double bed, the thin quilt tangled around his body like a knot. Tao Zhiyue buried his face in the soft pillow, feeling like a self-heating pancake.
He suffered from insomnia for the first time.
Dr. Tao has not responded yet.
Huo Ran stood up a little nervously and paced back and forth in the hotel room.
The drinks in the refrigerator were a bit monotonous, and the feel of the bathrobes in the closet were not particularly good. He preferred linen ones. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony was very beautiful, overlooking most of the brightly lit Jinbei City.
Huo Ran walked and walked back to the computer. It felt like half a day had passed, but in reality only two minutes had passed.
Dr. Tao still did not respond.
[A brown bear: Dr. Tao, can I call you later?]
The private chat conversation froze here, and Huo Ran felt a sense of melancholy.
Doctor Tao won't answer the phone again...
Did he say something wrong
Huo Ran tried to seek help off the field.
[hr: Is it too much to ask netizens to make phone calls?]
[I am OK again: … … ]
[I'm OK again: Brother, how obsessed are you with making phone calls!!!]
[I am OK again: What should I say, I am indeed an antique straight man?]
[I am OK again: No, when did you start dating someone online behind my back?!]
[I'm OK again: male and female! Could it be the old doctor from last time?]
Huo Ran paused and started to talk about something else.
[hr: Have you watched the game video? Do you like it?]
Earlier, he sent the video to Huo Sihan, and when this was mentioned, Huo Sihan's attention was immediately diverted.
[I'm OK again: Feelings are all in the id.]
[I'm fine again: Since you recorded such a long video, I'll reluctantly not pursue the idiotic name you gave me.]
[I'm OK again: So... who is the peach that you're trying out with? Is she your friend? Is she a cute little sister?]
[I am OK again: starry eyes.jpg]
… Why did the topic come back here
Huo Ran typed out his reply with a bit of depression.
[hr: I won’t tell you.]
[hr: Going to bed, good night.]
Usually when he says he's going to bed, he really means going to bed.
But today Huo Ran had no sleepiness at all. The game screen was still. He sat in front of the computer in a daze, his mind full of random thoughts.
The online status of players is not displayed in Animal Island. At one point, Huo Ran even wanted to ask someone to log into the system to check if there was any problem.
Huo Zhendong just decided to invest in the production company of Animal Island some time ago, and now he is also a shareholder behind this game.
What if Dr. Tao’s game is disconnected and he can’t log in again
Half an hour later, both pp and the game were dead silent, and Huo Ran gave up the hope of getting away with it.
Dr. Tao is really offline.
He must have pissed off Dr. Tao.
Huo Ran turned off the computer in annoyance, took a shower, turned off the lights, and then sank into the soft bed without moving.
He should have thought that Dr. Tao was a very cautious person. He had not agreed to meet him before and certainly did not want to have any sudden contact with him other than text.
He was completely stunned today. When he saw Dr. Tao said he was on the phone, he asked subconsciously.
Huo Ran turned over, the ups and downs of the whole day were still lingering in his mind.
He never thought he would like a man.
Originally, he just didn't understand why he couldn't stop thinking about Dr. Tao, and he asked the driver to turn around and drive back to look for the figure who had hurriedly left.
At that time, Huo Ran got out of the car and looked around aimlessly. The sculpture-like Jiang Nansheng followed him.
Jiang Nansheng spoke so softly that it was almost inaudible: "Boss Huo, did you find out that I... you?"
“…” Huo Ran really wanted to say that only a blind person wouldn’t be able to detect it, but another sentence came out of his mouth.
"Sorry, I already have someone I like."
He spoke very naturally and confidently, as if it came directly from the bottom of his heart, without any of the helplessness and weakness he had shown in the past when faced with confessions.
It was not until that moment that Huo Ran suddenly realized his feelings.
He really wants to meet Dr. Tao.
He really wanted to hear Dr. Tao's voice.
After tossing and turning for a long time and still unable to fall asleep, Huo Ran took the mobile phone from the bedside table.
He opened the chat history with Huo Sihan, found the series of "weird" articles, and read them one by one.
The phone screen emitted a faint light, reflecting Huo Ran's nervous and serious expression.
