Please support the genuine version throughout the process. Only the genuine version has the red envelope lottery theater~ The small island migrated from afar has 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 to search for the meaning of "zhengzhong".
Before his fingers moved, Tao Zhiyue decisively instructed his brain to control his body and stop this stupid and illiterate behavior.
If the name of Peach and Idiot during the day were completely 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. However, in 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 pineapples, which were neutral and easy to remember, while peaches always sounded 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 ashamed 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.
Huo Ran, who was in another city, spent an extremely busy day.
He was woken up early in the morning by a call from Huo Zhendong, who said that a few old friends would come to visit the company in the morning and asked him to come and keep them company.
Huo Ran, who originally wanted to skip work to catch up on some sleep, had no choice but to get up and go to the company obediently.
Yesterday he visited Dr. Tao's island in the game and found that Dr. Tao had not been online for a long time. The island was deserted. Looking at the small hedgehog holding a hoe, Huo Ran immediately volunteered to help.
The two animals, one big and one small, worked hard until twelve o'clock and finally restored the island to its former vitality.
Huo Ran had only been playing this game for a short time and was immersed in the joy of single-player infrastructure construction. He even added only Huo Sihan as his friend.
This was the first time for him to build an island with others. The big brown bear was swinging an axe to chop trees, and his strength was almost running out. He was about to put down the axe to find something to eat, when the little hedgehog brought him some fruit to increase his strength.
It was a strange feeling, and Huo Ran suddenly understood why the group mode of this game attracted players.
So after Dr. Tao went offline and went to sleep, Huo Ran, who was still interested, dug out the Weibo post that made Animal Island popular a while ago. Huo Sihan had sent him the link when she was trying to get him into the game.
There are tens of thousands of comments under the Weibo post, and many of the top-rated comments are about things that happened to the users when they were playing Animal Island. Some are humorous, but more are full of warmth.
Huo Ran was fascinated by the story and followed the recommendations in the comments to visit the creative section of the Animal Island official forum, which contained various forms of derivative works, which were wonderful. Huo Ran stared at the screen intently and clicked on new web pages one after another.
When he came to his senses, he looked at the time in the upper right corner of the computer and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Huo Ran, who seldom stayed up late, quickly turned off his computer and went to bed. In a daze, he was still thinking about the forum post that he had not finished reading.
The next day, he entered the company with dark circles under his eyes, calmly ignored the roses that were delivered on time, calmly accepted the enthusiastic care of his assistant Xiao Jiang, then followed behind Huo Zhendong and chatted and laughed with several uncles, humbly listening to the sighs of the young people.
After only three hours of sleep, Huo Ran felt like a warrior of life.
After the tour, Huo Zhendong took his old friend to continue his next trip, and Huo Ran finally relaxed.
Since we are here, we might as well hold a few more meetings.
After reading many gamer's feedback in one go in the middle of the night, Huo Ran realized how great the charm of the virtual game world is. He didn't know much about it before and thought playing games was just a pastime when he was bored.
But from Dr. Tao to many other players, they are fully immersed in the game, will establish many new interpersonal relationships, and will learn knowledge and skills that seem useless in reality. Some people have made friends, lovers, and even life partners because of it, while others have developed new interests and gained unexpected opportunities.
Those who are addicted to a certain game should not be simply classified as Internet addicts. Many times, they are looking for a second life in another world.
At a certain time, they will bid farewell to this virtual world for various reasons, but they will never forget the traces they left here, which may change their real lives.
If one-way flowing movies are the art of dreaming, then Huo Ran feels that games with interaction as the core should be the art of entering dreams.
