Please support the genuine version throughout the process, only the genuine version will have a small theater with red envelopes and lottery~ Everything was as usual in the deserted one-bedroom apartment. Tao Zhiyue immediately saw the cupid picture posted next to the dining table.
At that time, Tao Zhiyue had just resigned from his previous company, and he felt very uncomfortable having to leave, so he prayed every day that Huo Ran and Shen Nian would meet in advance and fall in love, so that he could be free as soon as possible.
One day, he had a sudden idea and printed a picture of Cupid and posted it on the wall to show his sincerity.
This behavior sounded silly, but Tao Zhiyue found it very funny at the time. This was a rare pleasure in his ordinary life.
But now seeing this chubby little cupid, Tao Zhi felt more and more annoyed for no reason.
In the original book, Huo Ran and Shen Nian lived a very happy life, and this happiness made him miserable now that he was one-way lovelorn.
If he falls in love with Huo Ran according to the plot, he will encounter a car accident; he tries to break out of the plot for the first time and meets a completely straight man.
Tao Zhiyue felt that his second life was very painful.
Sighing, Tao Zhiyue walked to the dining table and took off the Cupid portrait.
He originally wanted to crumple the smiling little cupid into a ball and throw it into the trash can, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't do it.
Tao Zhiyue folded the slightly yellowed A4 paper, took out the loratadine from his backpack, put them away together, and put them in the cabinet at the top of the bookshelf.
Just think of it as a souvenir.
When walking back all the way, Tao Zhiyue's mind was empty and his mind was wandering. He never paid attention to the movement of his mobile phone.
When I took it out and took a look, the screen was full of unread messages from HR.
[hr: Dr. Tao, I went back to look for him just now. He seemed to be far away and I couldn’t find him. ]
[hr: I felt very lost at that moment. For me, this is a very special feeling. ]
[hr: I wanted to ask Dr. Tao before. I have a colleague who blushes whenever he sees me. Although he never said anything explicitly, I never knew how to get along with him. ]
[hr: I thought about it carefully just now, and that’s what Dr. Tao described like. ]
[hr: No matter what the other person does, I am deeply attracted to him. I want to look at him all the time, and my face gets hot. ]
[hr: But when I looked at him, all I imagined in my mind was that friend I had never met. ]
[hr: I think it’s that friend I like. ]
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, HR asked carefully.
[hr: Is Dr. Tao working overtime? Did I disturb you? I'm sorry. ]
The last message stays here.
["hr" patted me. ]
Tao Zhiyue was a little surprised. He didn't expect that hr's mental journey was so similar to his.
There are many people on the Internet who use the word "her" interchangeably, but Tao Zhiyue has already determined in his mind that hr is a straight man, and at this time he did not pay attention to the words "he" that filled the screen.
No matter who HR likes, he has promised to help HR solve his emotional problems before, so he must at least help him get rid of the pursuit of the other three gays.
In this way, hr's life can get back on track, and Tao Zhiyue has no reason to continue to contact him.
They were two parallel lines that accidentally intersected. After the tide receded, they should return to their own lives.
Tao Zhiyue made up his mind to distance himself from HR without leaving any trace, and no longer get too close to HR like he did a few days ago, so as not to invest more emotions.
[Tao: Just got home. ]
[Tao: Then invite your friends out to meet. Before that, do you want to deal with those people who are pestering you? ]
[Tao: Otherwise it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ]
[I pat "hr". ]
HR responded very quickly.
[hr: Dr. Tao is right, I should handle my emotional problems before pursuing others. ]
[hr: Moreover, my friend seems to have someone he likes. ]
[Tao: If the other party has not officially entered a relationship, you still have a chance^-^]
At this point in the conversation, HR seemed to think for a while before sending a message with no beginning or end.
[hr: Does Dr. Tao have a boyfriend now? ]
Tao Zhiyue was shocked. These three words were so unfamiliar to him that he was almost embarrassed when he heard them from others.
[Tao:…]
[Tao: No_(:3∠)_]
[Tao: Wrap my quilt tightly.jpg]
[hr：_(:3∠)_]
[hr: What does this expression mean? ]
[Tao: It’s just a little person lying down, um... it’s used in many ways, and it’s difficult to explain. It can probably be understood as a kind of helplessness here. ]
[hr: Oh! ]
[hr: Then I don’t have one either_(:3∠)_]
Tao Zhiyue couldn't help but laugh. The original delicate atmosphere was diluted by the strange conversation. He didn't think deeply about the word "ye" in HR's words.
[Tao: Regarding your blushing colleague, do you need my help? ]
[hr: It shouldn’t be necessary. I’ve already told him that I have someone I like. ]
[hr: I think he will slowly change his attitude towards me. ]
Tao Zhiyue felt that he had been hit by an arrow again, and a sour feeling quietly spread in his heart, but he still had to reply to the other party calmly.
[Tao: I will definitely do it^-^]
In fact, he couldn't laugh at all.
Tao Zhiyue sighed silently, feeling that he could no longer continue chatting with HR. The more he talked, the more heartbroken he became, and he began to think about what excuse to use to end the conversation.
Tao: I'm going to visit the forum, wave.
Tao: I'm going to take a shower first and we'll talk tomorrow.
Tao: I'm going to bed. If you need anything, come to me~
…
The text in the dialog box was deleted again and again, no matter how abrupt it seemed, Tao Zhi covered his face more depressedly.
In the narrow field of vision exposed between the fingers, HR's preemptive reply jumped out.
[hr: Dr. Tao, are you free to play games? ]
[hr: I want to move to a small island. Is there any vacant area near Dr. Tao’s island? ]
Tao Zhiyue let go of his hand and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
A moment later, Tao Zhiyue, who was in a daze, landed on Animal Island and sent the coordinates to the only friend on the list.
Amidst the soothing and melodious music of the game, a prompt popped up on Tao Zhiyue's game interface.
[Dear island owner, good evening, unexpected fate has arrived! A brown bear wants to move near your island. Will you welcome this guest from afar? ]
Tao Zhiyue clicked on the welcome, and then among the fireworks that suddenly bloomed all over the screen, a lush island slowly floated towards his location.
On a night when the bright moon hangs high, the island is full of brilliant lights, reflecting the green trees and huts. A big brown bear stands at the front, waving excitedly to his island.
Tao Zhiyue looked at the nickname on the top of the brown bear's head and couldn't help but his heart beat faster. He remembered that HR had previously called him Koala Daddy.
[A Hedgehog: Why did you change your name? ]
[A brown bear: This is more solemn^-^]
Combined with the cold and gloomy description of Huo Ran in the novel, the image of Huo Ran in Tao Zhiyue's mind is that of a cold and violent classic domineering president.
Although Huo Ran's temperament changed drastically after he became disabled in order to protect "Tao Zhiyue" and was abandoned by "Tao Zhiyue", ninety-nine percent of the book is devoted to describing the cold-blooded disabled boss Huo Ran and The love story of the protagonist, Shou Shen Nian, makes it difficult for Tao Zhi, who is completely brainwashed by these bloody entanglements, to imagine what kind of character Huo Ran is now.
Will he see Huo Ran today? Will Huo Ran fall in love with him at first sight as mentioned in the novel
Tao Zhiyue stood still, his thoughts racing.
For a moment, the air around him seemed to be stagnant.
He is not the same person as "Tao Zhiyue" in the original book. At least he is sure that he will not abandon his lover who is in trouble, especially when the other person is seriously injured to protect himself.
Tao Zhiyue didn't think that he would shamelessly come back to seek reconciliation just because his ex inherited the family business.
So even if he falls in love with Huo Ran, he probably won't end up with the original owner committing suicide.
After this year of trying, Tao Zhiyue is sure that the plot will not control his thinking or speech and force him to follow the plot of the original novel. He is free to go wherever he wants without being involuntarily.
But the plot will try its best to push all characters back to the track of the original novel in a reasonable way.
For example, Xue Huacan's provocation made the CEO mistakenly believe that he was going to resign. After learning from the pain, the CEO came up with the idea of doing original development. And because of HR's enlightenment, Tao Zhiyue finally voluntarily and proactively appeared at the Northern Shanxi Game Show.
For example, Huo, who is spending money everywhere in the gaming industry, sent people to the Northern Shanxi Game Exhibition. Perhaps Huo's strong interest in the gaming industry in the past year was due to this young heir, so he would come to the scene to negotiate in person. , nothing more than normal.
Everything happens naturally, nothing weird about it.
There is a pair of invisible hands in the dark, which skillfully weaves their fate together.
This is what Tao Zhiyue is most worried about and why he tries so hard to avoid Huo Ran.
If he falls in love with Huo Ran, the car accident will definitely happen, because only in this way can Huo Ran become a completely different "cold disabled man", and then meet Shen Nian and save each other.
Tao Zhiyue did not want to put himself in the threat of a car accident that could come at any time, and he did not want Huo Ran, who was still healthy and intact, to become a disabled person.
Even though he is now full of resistance and fear towards Huo Ran, whom he has never met before, he still doesn't want the other person to suffer accidents because of him.
As for what will happen in the future, how a healthy Huo Ran who is not cold-blooded will develop feelings for the protagonist, that is not what Tao Zhiyue should care about.
—If he can really escape from the destined plot.
When Tao Zhiyue came to his senses, his back was already covered with cold sweat, and that empty feeling of emptiness came over him again.
People passing by looked at him strangely, but the soles of his feet seemed to be rooted and he could not move.
Tao Zhiyue took a deep breath to calm himself down. He closed his eyes tightly and tried his best to think back on everything that happened during this period of time.
The breath trapped in the mask was moist and difficult, and the oxygen gradually disappeared.
He smelled the aroma of slow-cooked beef late at night and heard the voices and laughter of colleagues gathered around him.
He smelled the long and fragrant fragrance of gardenias in the park, and the short little girl in front of him was fluttering butterflies in the middle of the road.
He saw the furry brown bear on the computer screen stretching out its broad claws and patting the little hedgehog's back covered with spikes.
He remembered the evening when he was waiting at the bus stop. The heavy fog over the city had cleared. He stared at the setting sun. The light was hot and silently caressing his cheeks. During the long wait, Tao Zhiyue caught a glimpse of the reflected light. A long, slanting figure on the ground.
That's his shadow.
[You are breathing, you are real, you can see the screen and the messages from me. ]
