Please support the genuine version throughout the process, only the genuine version will have a small theater with red envelopes and lottery~ Tao Zhiyue unlocked it without giving up, opened the app, and refreshed it a few times. The dialog box was motionless, and it was still the message he responded to six hours ago.

[Tao: I'll go online and take a look. ]

After several hours of making pancakes, Tao Zhiyue gradually calmed down and regretted his previous rashness.

Why did he press the power off button with his backhand

If he goes offline suddenly without any explanation, will the HR think he is rude

Maybe hr didn't mean anything else and just mentioned it casually because he said he was on the phone.

Older people are usually used to communicating by voice or phone. Their typing speed is not as fast as younger people, so it is normal to not like to communicate by text.

Asking him if he has a boyfriend is probably just out of curiosity. HR has been single for so many years. It is rare for him to have a sweetheart. It is his first taste of this wonderful feeling, so he becomes curious about the emotional status of the people around him. It is normal.

As for solemnity... it probably means "this is more in line with the character image".

After "thinking through" these issues that had kept him struggling for half a night, Tao Zhi felt more and more embarrassed.

Romance novels do not deceive him. It turns out that people who are in secret love are really idiots who like to be sentimental.

After standing dazed at the door of the bathroom for a long time, Tao Zhiyue completely lost his mind about sleeping. He put on his clothes, turned on the light, and sat back at his desk.

Turn on the phone and land on Animal Island.

It was also late at night in the game, and the brown bear waving to him on the island next door had disappeared. It must have been offline.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the gentle chirping of insects came from the silent night.

The hedgehog got on the small wooden boat and sailed to the new neighbor's territory.

It was the first time Tao Zhiyue used this visit function. The driving time was based on the distance between the coordinates of different islands. The previous island of hr was relatively far away from him, so it took five minutes to get here.

Now the two small islands are very close and can be reached in ten seconds.

The little hedgehog jumped out of the boat and trotted onto the island. Soon he heard snoring coming from the small wooden house in the center of the island.

It turns out that brown bears snore so loudly.

There is a very cute little setting in Animal Island. Players have two options to choose from when exiting the game, [Bye bye] and [See you later].

It is said that the character who chooses [Bye Bye] will disappear in place, making it impossible for others to determine whether the player is online.

Choosing [See You Later] will put the character into a sleep state. If it is night, he will go back to the house to sleep. During the day, he will take a nap in the sun on a deck chair or hammock in front of the cabin.

Tao Zhiyue always clicked "Bye" directly. This was the first time he saw a player character sleeping soundly after selecting "See You Later".

In reality, HR should also be asleep.

Amidst the somewhat funny snoring sound, the little hedgehog strolled around the brown bear island.

Unlike many players who would build beautiful gardens full of flowers, hr planted large tracts of fruit trees in the open space of the island. Each tree bore heavy fruits, and the colorful fruits were plump and beautiful.

Next to the largest fruit tree, a small wooden sign was erected with the four characters "No stealing allowed" written on it.

Thinking of the large handful of fruit that the brown bear brought when he first visited, Tao Zhiyue, who was anxious in front of the screen, suddenly felt soft inside.

It's obviously a very ordinary little thing, but there is always something unreasonably cute about this person.

The little hedgehog returned to his island, picked different varieties of flowers from the garden, and tied them into a bunch with ribbons.

Then it held the warm and bright bouquet of flowers in its little paws, came over by boat, and carefully placed it at the door of the cabin where the snoring was loud.

[A Hedgehog: Network failure, suddenly disconnected. ]

Tao Zhiyue thought to himself that his brain network had indeed malfunctioned before, so it was not a lie.

[A hedgehog: I brought a small gift and apologize to you^-^]

When exiting the game this time, Tao Zhiyue hesitated for a moment and gently clicked [See you later].

After returning to bed and lying down, Tao Zhiyue felt much calmer.

He closed his eyes and tried to sleep again.

For some reason, Tao Zhiyue's mind slowly reappeared in his past, which was a bit unfamiliar to him.

I go to work at nine o'clock on weekdays, and rarely leave my work station except to eat and use the toilet. It is common to be busy until eleven or twelve in the middle of the night. There is no overtime subsidy. The only consolation is that I can reimburse the fare for taking a taxi home.

Weekends are often solo days, and he often spends the day at home because he and his friends who have known each other for many years are separated by a long distance, so they can only get together in a dark room.

At that time, he was immersed in the blind passion of fighting for his dream, and never noticed that his life was so monotonous.

When commuting every morning, Tao Zhiyue, who clings to the handrail and sways with the crowd in the crowded subway, and is so squeezed that he can hardly breathe, occasionally thinks that something seems to be missing in his life.

During countless late nights waiting for the bus home alone, in a small rental house only used for bathing and sleeping, Tao Zhiyue, who was running two o'clock and one line, sometimes took the time to think about this problem to resolve the problem of too many code instructions in his brain. Tired, but he never figured it out.

Until that day, the gas bill for the rental house was all gone. Some roommates in the tenant group said they had to cook for lunch. This time it happened to be Tao Zhiyue's turn to be responsible for paying.

It would be too late to pay the bill after lunch break, so Tao Zhiyue had no choice but to make an exception, put down the always busy work at hand, sneak out during work breaks, get on a public bicycle, and rush to the bank crookedly.

The weather was very good that day, and the autumn wind blew against his cheeks, blowing away the complicated strings in his head. He had not ridden a bicycle for a long time, and his whole body was swaying. He nervously held the handlebars and talked with the pedestrians beside him. Passing traffic.

The wind is warm, the light golden sun is high in the sky, the air is shining richly, and the scorched autumn leaves are falling from the branches.

A small tenderness suddenly surged in his heart.

This accident that disrupted his work rhythm brought a real and warm sense of life.

When he arrived at the bank and inserted his card to pay in front of the self-service terminal, Tao Zhiyue always had a smile hidden in his eyes. He wanted to tell someone about this trivial matter and share with them the joy that was so full that it almost overflowed his heart. .

But he looked through his friend list and couldn't find a suitable person to complain to.

At that moment, Tao Zhiyue finally understood what was missing in his life.

But he has long been like a clockwork work machine, with no time, no chance, and no fate to meet anyone.

Even though he understood that life was empty and boring, he still did not have the courage to change everything.

Not long after, at the moment of cardiac arrest, Tao Zhiyue did not recall any distant past events, but only vaguely recalled that autumn day that was engraved in his heart.

He hopes to be braver in his next life.

Also, I hope to meet someone who can share the trivial details of life.

However, the fear of death made the reborn Tao Zhiyue forget his little wish before his death. For a long time, he thought he had no regrets.

But those subtle desires and longings quietly awakened during the process of contact with HR.

Love is a wonderful emotion that sharpens the senses and brightens the eyes, so that you can touch the missed details in the gaps of life.

Even seemingly hopeless unrequited love makes people have a soft and sensitive heart, and everything becomes colorful.

The summer night is quiet and beautiful, the chirping of insects is sweet, and even the way the fruit trees sway gently in the wind is cute.

Before going offline, Tao Zhiyue hesitated for a long time and finally added something from his heart that he was embarrassed to say in the past.

[A hedgehog: The flowers you planted for me bloomed the day before yesterday. I picked the most beautiful ones and gave them to you. ]

In the peaceful and beautiful virtual world, the most beautiful bouquet of flowers lies at the door of the cabin, waiting to be seen by the brown bear who wakes up.

Why is hr

The memories were soothing and long, and the morning light outside the window was dim, and Tao Zhiyue was gradually swept away by the feeling of being trapped.

Maybe it was because of that night full of surprises.

When they met for the first time, that person said to him very confidently: You are so brave.

He yawned and opened it casually.

[User 726397816 (Owner): Hello, Dr. Tao, this has been going on for more than a month. I am really worried. Is this the scope of business of your hospital? can you help me? ]

Tao Zhiyue:…

Tao Zhiyue's eyes widened in confusion, and he unconsciously stopped turning off his phone.

Why did he know these words taken apart, but couldn't understand them together at all? Who is Dr. Tao? What business scope? Help who

Tao Zhiyue, who was confused, followed the message reminder and saw the original post, only to realize that it was a phishing post made by the shameless straight man who tricked him into replying.

He vaguely remembered his very "friendly" reply.

Tao Zhiyue was speechless and started typing.

Director Tao of the No. 7 Mental Hospital of Shanbei City: Brother, I mean you are sick...

Before his reply was sent, a new message came.

[User 726397816 (poster): Dr. Tao, are you still online? Sorry, a friend mentioned in the post just now came to my house and insisted on staying. I finally persuaded him to leave, so I didn't reply to you in time. I'm sorry. ]

[User 726397816 (Owner): I don’t know why other people’s replies are scolding me, or saying that I fish. I looked up the meaning of fishing and understood that I really didn’t lie. You are the only one in the post who cares about my situation. Whether you are still here or not, I want to say thank you. ]

Seeing the particularly sincere reply from user 726397816, Tao Zhiyue actually felt a little guilty.

He deleted the direct taunt he was going to send in the input box, and hesitated with his fingers on the keyboard, not knowing how to reply to the poster who was too involved in the drama.

In any case, this person was very polite, didn't say anything outrageous, and seemed like he really didn't understand Internet buzzwords.

What if this person is telling the truth...

Tao Zhiyue suddenly remembered that he was in the world of a bloody novel. In the middle and later stages of the novel, the protagonist Shen Nian had about seven or eight handsome and wealthy suitors. light.

He suddenly felt that it was not impossible for the plot of four bosses to fall in love with a straight man at the same time.

So Tao Zhi, who was completely sleepless, gave a tentative reply.

[Director Tao of the No. 7 Mental Hospital of Shanbei City: It doesn’t matter. Too many people like to post and deceive people, so everyone will be more excited when they encounter it. ]

A few minutes later.

[User 726397816 (Owner): Dr. Tao, you are still here! Great, can you help me? I'm really not a liar! You should be a psychiatrist, I can give you a consultation for a fee! ]
