Xia Ruize's response was to directly cover Cheng Huaiqian's mouth with his hand. Although he couldn't cover his overflowing laughter, at least he didn't let him continue talking, and didn't let him turn around to see his shy and flushed face.
"My bloodline talent can absorb natural energy faster, and there will be overflow." Gritting his teeth, Xia Ruize emphasized softly: "That's all!"
Cheng Huaiqian's response was a series of more joyful laughter. He stretched out the tip of his tongue to tian Xia Ruize's hand, and when Xia Ruize withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, he softly retorted in a soft voice as if dripping water:
"Little liar, if this is the case, why don't you let me turn around? I feel that the front of me needs more energy than the back."
While Xia Ruize was in a daze, Cheng Huaiqian tried his best to break free from his restraints, and immediately turned around and hugged him in his arms, with a joyful expression on his face and surprise eyes, he asked Xia Ruize over and over again:
"How about our relationship? I will definitely think of a way to let us spend more time together. I have never liked anyone. I only like you. I have thought clearly in the past two months. I like it." You, I like you very much, and want to be with you all the time, shall we date?"
Cheng Huaiqian hugged him tightly and shook him gently, asking questions over and over again full of joy.
Xia Ruize looked at him. The two of them really looked like couples on vacation on the beach. They only had shorts on their bodies. Besides, their limbs were intertwined and their skins were touching each other. Xia Ruize could feel the satisfaction from the bottom of his heart. , and could feel Cheng Huaiqian's full of joy and sincerity, but he just gritted his teeth and hardened his heart and didn't give any response.
Cheng Huaiqian slowly calmed down, resting his head on Xia Ruize's head, quietly looking at Xia Ruize's red and moist eyes, looking at each other for a moment, he suddenly laughed, the ice and snow had just melted, and the galaxy was shining, he didn't continue to ask, but He stroked Xia Ruize's head with his hand and comforted him gently:
"Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't do well enough, I was too hasty, I apologize, don't worry, I will do better, I will prove it to you when we meet in the next world, okay? Don't hide from me then, okay? Even if we can't be lovers, we are very compatible as friends and teammates.
You see, I have a bad temper, and there are always many conflicts when I cooperate with others. In the end, they all broke up. Only you don’t dislike me, so don’t abandon me in the future, okay, or I really only have one people..."
Xia Ruize finally couldn't hear what he said, and buried his face in Cheng Huaiqian's shoulder.
Cheng Huaiqian didn't force him anymore, he knew what Xia Ruize's biggest worry was, he was hugged by Xia Ruize just now, he was a little too impulsive under the excitement, he was not going to confess his love until Xia Ruize's biggest worry was resolved.
In Cheng Huaiqian's view, confession should be the last step after the relationship is in place, not a slogan shouted before the action begins, so he patiently weaves a fine web around Xia Ruize, so that Xia Ruize gradually gets used to his existence and his behavior Get close, and don't pack people up until it's safe.
It's a pity that Xia Ruize had too much influence on him, and Xia Ruize's rare initiative immediately disrupted Cheng Huaiqian's plan and said his confession in advance. Cheng Huaiqian didn't regret it, but was worried that Xia Ruize had gotten into the wrong place, so he continued to gently comfort him.
The two hugged quietly, Cheng Huaiqian tried his best to find a topic to arouse Xia Ruize's interest, and divert Xia Ruize's attention. After Xia Ruize calmed down, his teammates took away his attention and began to respond softly.
During this period, there was always a small bridge connecting Xia Ruize and the beam of light. He absorbed energy faster and faster. At the same time, a large amount of energy rushed into his body in a short period of time, and part of it overflowed because his body could not bear it. Benefiting Cheng Huaiqian, who was the closest, made Cheng Huaiqian absorb energy more than four times faster.
The three of them agree with each other, and they can always chat together. When Cheng Huaiqian deliberately provokes Xia Ruize's interest, Xia Ruize will always have a good chat, and they stay together like this until the time is getting closer to night.
Xia Ruize keenly discovered that the brightness of the beam of light gradually weakened with the passage of time, and the energy concentration in the air also decreased.
Cheng Huaiqian also found that the surrounding wilderness animals no longer focused all their attention on the beam of light as before, and began to feel restless, moving their legs and flicking their tails more and more frequently.
"When night falls at nine o'clock in the evening, will this beam of light weaken greatly?"
Xia Ruize calculated the time from when he first noticed that the brightness of the beam of light had weakened to the present, and the situation was not optimistic.
"To be on the safe side, we will withdraw early."
Cheng Huaiqian's sharp eyes scanned dozens of wild animals, and he was shocked to find that some of the wild prey that had only focused on the beam of light began to be distracted, and some even noticed the two of them.
Near eight o'clock in the evening, the brightness of the beam of light has weakened to less than half of the original, and the surrounding wilderness animals are becoming more and more noisy.
Cheng Huaiqian decisively took Xia Ruize's hand, and walked out carefully.
The thick and huge tail of the cheetah lying on one side swung towards them suddenly, and Cheng Huaiqian immediately calculated that this tail that seemed to be pressed down on them would eventually be thrown in front of their feet, which was more threatening than attacking.
While thinking about it, Cheng Huaiqian slightly pushed Xia Ruize back, but he himself took a step forward, directly breaking into the area where the cheetah's tail should have landed.
Shocked, Xia Ruize immediately subconsciously reached out to grab his teammate, and then saw the cheetah's tail change direction slightly, and finally flung it in front of Cheng Huaiqian's feet.
Cheng Huaiqian turned around and smiled at Xia Ruize, affirming:
"I guess they haven't attacked us all this time. There should be some special prohibition rules in this area. Now it seems that it is true. We just need to stay away from them for a certain distance and return to the endless space before they attack violently."
After Cheng Huaiqian finished speaking, he found that the expressions on the faces of his teammates were not happy. He was taken aback for a moment, then took two steps back, while pulling Xia Ruize's hand, he gently comforted him with the other hand:
"Don't worry, you know, I usually don't do things that are completely unsure, I will definitely protect my own life, and I don't want to leave you alone."
Xia Ruize's round eyes widened in an instant. He himself hadn't figured out why he was a little unhappy, but his teammates could figure it out. Could it be that he is a roundworm in his stomach
Thinking of this, Xia Ruize, who was inexplicably even more unhappy, glared at Cheng Huaiqian, and walked out first.
This time, Cheng Huaiqian really failed to guess what his teammates were thinking, so he couldn't help but smiled, walked two steps closer to his teammates, and asked in a low voice. He wanted to understand Xia Ruize's thinking, and he just wanted to know Xia Ruize better. OK
In fact, as Cheng Huaiqian observed, the wild animals surrounded by the beam of light seemed unwilling to let the two guys who took the opportunity to enjoy the energy run away, but restricted by inexplicable reasons, they would not really kill them.
They could only move their hooves and step on them suddenly, or bow their heads and roar at them and other threatening behaviors, but Cheng Huaiqian, who had seen through their bottom line, was not affected, and pulled Xia Ruize to evacuate quickly.
Wilderness animals can only reluctantly let them stay away.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize didn't know it, but the wild animals surrounded by the beam of light knew that the energy produced by this precious beam of light was "life" energy, so during the existence of the beam of light, there could be no "dead" energy within the range of influence. Otherwise, the energy of the beam of light will be mixed, affecting the absorption of all wild animals.
Therefore, these behemoths can only watch the two little bugs leave safely, thinking in their hearts, let them run first, and when the beam of light is completely dark, they only need two steps to catch up with the two little bugs, and then Eat them so that the energy that the bugs have absorbed all day will eventually return to their stomachs.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian stopped a few hundred meters away from wild animals.
This place is obviously not as dense as the energy next to the beam of light, but if wild animals attack them suddenly, this position will allow them enough time to escape from this world.
Coupled with Xia Ruize's talent, even if the distance is a little farther, he can still build a small bridge and absorb energy directly from the beam of light.
The time was approaching nine o'clock every minute and every second, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the light beam was getting darker and darker. The wild animals around the light beam became more restless, staring at other wild animals or two humans, and kept threatening.
Cheng Huaiqian played with Xia Ruize's hand, thinking that he would not be able to see his teammates for one to two months after the end of this mission world, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
If there is no way to meet again in reality, even if Xia Ruize agrees to his confession, they are not even as good as online dating. At any rate, online dating can still make video calls every day, but they will forget the name of the person they like after they leave this mission world.
Xia Ruize was carefully feeling the energy transmitted from the small bridge, and clearly found that the energy was getting less and less. When there was no energy coming from the small bridge at a certain moment, Xia Ruize immediately shouted: "Let's go!"
In a very short period of time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the endless space, and the three wild animals that were guarding the beam of light suddenly rushed towards where they were standing, but they were only in vain.
The big round eyes of the cheetah are full of doubts. Where are the delicious snacks that have been eyeing for a long time? Why did it suddenly disappear
The snacks were gone, so the cheetah had to turn and pounce on other wild animals nearby.
At this time, the beam of light had completely disappeared, and under the dark sky, more than 20 wilderness animals that originally coexisted peacefully huddled together.
Every terrifying wild animal here grows by relying on the energy of the beam of light. If it can eat the opponent, it will get the energy contained in the opponent's body, making the beast very dying.
The beam of light only appears one day every month, and apart from the absolute peace maintained in the black core area during this period, there are only battles here at other times.
Xia Ruize opened his eyes and returned to the room in the endless world. After a short memory, the images and information of his teammates had been blurred. He sat there for a while, wiped his face with his hands, and left the endless world first.
When he opened his eyes again, Xia Ruize was still on the train going home. He was sitting by the window. The noisy carriage was the same as before, but he didn't have the joyful feeling of going home when he just boarded the train.
Xia Ruize gained a lot in the third mission world, the biggest gain was actually the energy obtained from the beam of light in the final stage, which allowed Xia Ruize to completely control his body.
Of course, the main task and the extended task add up to nearly 10,000 survival points, the fruit that increases the body attribute in the early stage and the reward of adding 3 points to all attributes, plus the various fruits that are still piled up in the space, proves the third The harvest of the mission world is gratifying.
But Xia Ruize's mood was a little depressed. He didn't care about reviewing his achievements. What flashed in his mind was the undisturbed memory of getting along with his teammates. Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Xia Ruize was silent for a long time, and Xia Ruize suddenly laughed at himself.
Look, it is very impractical to fall in love at this time, and it will affect the state.
Then he closed his eyes and let himself fall into a deep sleep.
After a three-hour drive, the train arrived at Xia Ruize's hometown, Jiu'an City.
By the time he got off the bus, Xia Ruize's mood had returned to normal, and he helped the young mother next to her who was traveling alone with her child to unload the luggage from the luggage rack.
The five or six-year-old girl thanked Xia Ruize sweetly: "Thank you for the handsome little brother!"
Xia Ruize smiled back.
After walking out of the train station, Xia Ruize took a taxi home directly. After getting in the taxi, he called his mother and said with a smile that he wanted to give the family a big surprise. An extra-large courier was waiting for Xia's father and mother to sign for it.
Mother Fang Qingyue heard that her son meant that he was going home suddenly, and was very pleasantly surprised, so she quickly sent father Xia Wenhaohou to buy more vegetables and prepare a big meal for her son.
After more than half an hour, Xia Ruize finally returned to the familiar area where he grew up.
Their family has a large yard in the old town of Jiu'an City Center. The small yard was originally a one-story house, but was later demolished by their parents and built into a three-story villa. Looking at the beautiful scenery, looking at the familiar home, Xia Ruize smiled on his face, opened the courtyard door and walked into the room.
"Ouch, look who is here, why is my little baby so handsome again!"
As soon as Fang Qingyue saw her son, she happily stepped forward and hugged her. Xia Wenhao, who was wearing an apron and cooking together, also cheerfully came over and patted his son on the shoulder.
Xia Ruize was already taller than his father, and the husband and wife felt proud from the bottom of their hearts when they saw their son, who had excelled in academics since he was a child, and was an outstanding talent.
Today, after the new year, Xia's father and mother have not seen their son for more than half a year. They brought a table full of mother's brand dinner to the table, and the family sat around the table to eat and chat.
"It's not a festival, you're on annual leave? You came back suddenly and didn't tell us in advance, let's get ready."
Fang Qingyue didn't eat much, and soon she was full. She sat and watched the father and son eat, especially the son, who was good at eating, and watched until she was satisfied.
"It's not on annual leave. I resigned. I feel a little tired from work, and I'm going to go home to rest for a while. I've contacted outsourced small projects in advance. I can do whatever I want at home, and I can get a lot of money every month. I plan to Try it first, if you can do it, you can stay at home and be a freelancer."
Fang's mother's culinary skills are Xia Ruize's capital to show off to his friends since he was a child. It is the most delicious taste in his memory. Moved out the reason that had been prepared long ago.
Fang Qingyue patted her son's head distressedly when she heard the words. She knew that her son had always been tough, and if he said he was tired, he must be very tired, so she quickly comforted her:
"Take a good rest when you're tired, and don't do any outsourcing. There is no shortage of food for you at home. It's good for you to stay at home and accompany your parents obediently."
"Hey, man, it's time to start a family and start a business. You kid doesn't want to start a family, so you can just mess around with your career. Take it easy first, and when you want to do something in the future, your parents will definitely support it. Mom and Dad will give you money to open a small shop or something, and you will definitely not starve to death."
Xia Wenhao, who had been silently listening to the chat between the mother and son, also expressed his views. The couple's views are very consistent, and the son's happiness is the most important thing. Xia Ruize, who just graduated, wants to make a living in a big city, and they support it, and their son wants to go home to rest when he is tired, and they also support it.
Since they knew their son's sexual orientation, their family didn't look forward to the third generation. Since the son will always be the youngest child in the family, let him do what he wants.
Xia Ruize smiled happily, and got up to hug his mother and father. Since returning home, he felt that a nerve that had been tense all this time had been relaxed, and it was most comfortable to stay in the most familiar home.
After dinner, the family chatted lively and lively for a long time before going back to their rooms to rest. The first floor is the public area, the entire second floor belongs to Xia's father and mother, and the entire third floor belongs to Xia Ruize's space. There are bedrooms, a study room, a game room, and an empty guest bedroom.
Xia Ruize measured the guest bedroom with a tape measure, planning to transform the guest bedroom into a fitness room, and then exercise at home.
Sleeping on the familiar bed, Xia Ruize soon fell asleep. After five days of work, he had another day of driving. He was not going to practice in the endless world for the time being. He was going to wait for a rest.
Xia Ruize is immersed in a sweet dream, while Cheng Huaiqian is still busy.
When he woke up from the back seat of the car, he directly asked the driver to change the route back to the company, and then Cheng Huaiqian lay in the back seat, seemingly closing his eyes and resting his mind, but he was actually recalling everything that happened in the third mission world over and over again.
In the third mission world, Cheng Huaiqian has been looking for opportunities to chat with his teammates since meeting his teammates. The content of the chats is not limited to the endless world, but involves personal real life.
Xia Ruize himself didn't even realize that he had unknowingly told all his experiences from childhood to adulthood, and also learned all about Cheng Huaiqian's experience.
During the relaxed chat, Xia Ruize said many things unintentionally, and Cheng Huaiqian just listened casually at that time, and then continued to chat casually.
But now that Cheng Huaiqian returned to the real world, he was no longer casual. He tried his best to recall the conversations he had with his teammates, and indeed he recalled some content that seemed to have nothing to do with Xia Ruize's personal identity.
What interesting competitions Xia Ruize participated in when he was a child, where he traveled, what happened on the way to school, majors he studied, etc., etc., any of these information alone can never be corresponding to the individual, but what if they overlap? It is entirely possible to find commonalities and lock the target audience to a very small range.
Cheng Huaiqian went to the head office of the Cheng Group in Shanghai. There were already many computer experts waiting in the well-equipped computer room. According to the information provided by Cheng Huaiqian, he tried to filter out the overlapping parts from the massive personnel information.
This work is difficult and cumbersome, like looking for a needle in a haystack, but Cheng Huaiqian personally sat on the sidelines, and these information technology geniuses could only bury their heads and work hard to quickly screen.
Some of the information also involved internal databases, and Cheng Huaiqian contacted professionals to purchase search services at a large price.
The secretary heard that President Cheng Da had returned to the company to work overtime, and remembered that Cheng Huaiqian had told him to give priority to the recent news related to the game company under his company, so he had to go to Cheng Huaiqian with a pile of materials waiting for approval.
Cheng Huaiqian's signing action suddenly stopped. The reason why he suddenly cared about his game company was because he wanted to find his teammates. He must have talked about this after meeting his teammates in the third mission world, so he has no relevant memory at all now. Isn't it because his teammates are really related to several game companies he has contacted
After this information is added to the filter condition, the work of data comparison has been pushed forward a big step.
Computer experts from multiple channels were busy until two o'clock in the morning, and each submitted a summary of materials to Cheng Huaiqian, which was the person they thought best met the conditions provided by Cheng Huaiqian after screening.
Cheng Huaiqian personally compared multiple materials, and finally compared the three people with the highest probability based on the current screening conditions.
Listing all the information of these three people on the desk, Cheng Huaiqian's fingers slid across it one by one, because the fingers were too hard, leaving an indentation on the paper material.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the office, looking at the white belly gradually lighting up in the sky, Cheng Huaiqian suppressed the anxiety in his heart with a cold expression. He was not in a hurry. A world of opportunities to learn more about teammates.
The sky was bright and the sun was just right. When Fang Qingyue came home from get off work at noon, she found that the house was silent. Her son was still sleeping soundly. With a smirk, she completely opened the curtains of her son's room.
Xia Ruize's bedroom window faces the largest Ninghe Park in the center of Jiu'an City. It is full of greenery as far as the eye can see. I don't have to worry about anyone looking in from the outside. Since the family built a three-story villa, it is easy to open the curtains. The best way for Xia's father and mother to wake up their snoozing son.
Fang Qingyue hummed and walked around in the kitchen, happily busy preparing to feed her two pigs, big and small. Last night, Xia Ruize wrapped up so many dishes. Fang Qingyue was happy that her son ate a lot and felt sorry for him. People must not eat well outside, so I will make a larger portion for lunch at noon today.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside the gate, and Fang Qingyue looked out the window suspiciously. Through the garden, she could see a handsome young man in a casual suit standing outside the gate, holding fruits and gifts in his hand, as if he had come to the door came to visit.
young people? Could it be his son's friend
