Please support the genuine version throughout the process, only the genuine version has the red envelope lottery drama~ Tao Zhiyue walked for an hour before returning home.

He didn't eat dinner, so his stomach was empty, but he didn't feel hungry.

Everything was normal in the deserted one-bedroom apartment. Tao Zhiyue immediately saw the picture of Cupid next to the dining table.

At that time, Tao Zhiyue had just resigned from his previous company. He felt very uncomfortable for having to leave, so he prayed every day that Huo Ran and Shen Nian would meet and fall in love in advance so that he could be free soon.

One day he had a sudden idea and printed out a picture of Cupid and pasted it on the wall to show his sincerity.

This behavior sounded silly, but Tao Zhiyue thought it was very funny at the time. It was one of the rare pleasures in his dull life.

But now seeing this chubby little god of love, Tao Zhiyue felt inexplicably annoyed.

In the original book, Huo Ran and Shen Nian lived a very happy life, and this happiness made him look even more miserable now that he was heartbroken.

If he falls in love with Huo Ran according to the plot, he will get into a car accident; if he tries to jump out of the plot and fall in love for the first time, he will meet a completely straight man.

Tao Zhiyue felt that his second life was so miserable.

Sighing, Tao Zhiyue walked to the dining table and took down the portrait of Cupid.

He wanted to crumple up the smiling little Cupid and throw it into the trash can, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Tao Zhiyue folded the slightly yellowed A4 paper, took out the chlorpheniramine from his backpack, put them all away, and put them in the cabinet at the top of the bookshelf.

Just consider it as a souvenir.

While walking back, Tao Zhiyue's mind was empty and his thoughts were wandering. He didn't pay any attention to his phone.

When I took it out and looked at it, the screen was full of unread messages from HR.

[hr: Doctor Tao, I went back to look for him just now, but he seemed to have gone far away and I couldn’t find him.]

[hr: I felt very lost at that moment. It was a very special feeling for me.]

[hr: I wanted to ask Dr. Tao before. I have a colleague who blushes easily when he sees me. Although he has never said anything explicitly, I have never known how to get along with him.]

[hr: I just thought about it carefully, this is what Dr. Tao described as liking.]

[hr: No matter what the other person does, I am deeply attracted to him. I want to keep looking at him and my face gets hot.]

[hr: But when I looked at him, all I could imagine was that friend I had never met.]

[hr: I think the one I like is that friend.]

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, HR asked carefully.

[hr: Is Dr. Tao working overtime? I am sorry for disturbing you.]

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 "he" and "she" interchangeably, but Tao Zhiyue had already been certain that HR was a straight man, so he didn't pay attention to the words "he" that filled the screen.

No matter who HR likes, he had promised to help HR solve his emotional problems before, so he should at least help him get rid of the pursuit of the other three gays.

In this way, HR's life can return to normal, and Tao Zhiyue will have no reason to continue contacting him.

They were originally two parallel lines that intersected accidentally. After the tide receded, they should return to their own lives.

Tao Zhiyue made up his mind that he would distance himself from HR without leaving any trace and not be overly close to him like he had been in the past few days, so as to avoid investing more emotions in him.

[Tao: Just got home.]

[Tao: Then ask your friends to come out and meet up. Before that, do you want to deal with those people who are bothering you first?]

[Tao: Otherwise it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.]

[I tapped "hr".]

hr responded very quickly.

[hr: Dr. Tao is right. I should deal with my own emotional problems before pursuing others.]

[hr: And, it seems my friend has someone he likes.]

[Tao: If the other party has not officially entered into a relationship, you still have a chance^-^]

At this point in the conversation, the HR seemed to think for a while before sending a message without a beginning or an 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 someone else.

[Tao: … ]

[Tao: No_(:3∠)_]

[Tao: Wrap myself tightly in my little quilt.jpg]

[hr:_(:3∠)_]

[hr: What does this expression mean?]

[Tao: It’s a little man lying down. Hmm… It has many uses and is hard to explain. Here it can probably be understood as a kind of helplessness.]

[hr: Oh!]

[hr:Then I don’t have it either_(:3∠)_]

Tao Zhiyue couldn't help laughing. The originally subtle atmosphere was diluted by the weird conversation. He didn't think deeply about the word "also" in HR's words.

[Tao: Do you need my help with your blushing colleague?]

[hr: I don’t think so. 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 like he was hit by an arrow again, and a sour feeling quietly spread in his heart, but he still had to respond to the other party calmly.

[Tao: I will definitely do that^-^]

In fact, he couldn't laugh at all.

Tao Zhiyue sighed silently and felt that he could not continue chatting with HR. The more they talked, the more hurtful it became. He began to think about what excuse he could use to end the conversation.

Tao: I’m going to browse the forum, wave.

Tao: I’ll go take a shower first and we’ll talk tomorrow.

Tao: I'm going to sleep now. Come to me if you need anything.

The text in the dialog box was deleted again and again. It seemed so abrupt no matter how he looked at it. Tao Zhiyue covered his face in frustration.

In the narrow field of vision revealed between fingers, HR's reply popped up.

[hr: Dr. Tao, are you free to play games?]

[hr: I want to move the island. Is there any vacant area near Dr. Tao's island?]

Tao Zhiyue let go of his hand and rubbed his eyes subconsciously, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

After a while, Tao Zhiyue, who was a little dazed, boarded the Animal Island and sent the coordinates to the only friend on the list.

Amid the soothing and melodious music of the game, a prompt popped up on Tao Zhiyue's game interface.

[Dear island owner, good evening, an unexpected fate has come! A brown bear wants to move to your island. Do you welcome this guest from afar?]

Tao Zhiyue clicked welcome, and then a lush island slowly floated towards him amidst the fireworks that suddenly filled the screen.

On a moonlit night, the island was filled with brilliant lights, illuminating the green trees and small houses. A big brown bear stood in the front, waving excitedly at his island.

Tao Zhiyue looked at the nickname on the brown bear's head and his heart couldn't help beating faster. He remembered that HR used to call Koala Dad.

[A Hedgehog: Why did you change your name?]

[A brown bear: This is more serious ^-^]

Tao Zhiyue felt that his second life was so miserable.

Sighing, Tao Zhiyue walked to the dining table and took down the portrait of Cupid.

He 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 bring himself to do it.

Tao Zhiyue folded the slightly yellowed A4 paper, took out the chlorpheniramine from his backpack, put them all away, and put them in the cabinet at the top of the bookshelf.
