Because he was afraid that Bai Duan would suffer from hunger, Xie Yan didn't cook too complicated dishes—of course, the taste was as delicious as ever. However, Bai Duan ate this meal rather absent-mindedly.
After filling his stomach, he helped Xie Yan clean up the dishes, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his head and asked, "Do you want to work for the game company of "Myriad Realms?"
Xie Yan paused, and felt a little struggling in his heart.
He said so much in front of Zhao Zehong today, on the one hand, to convey his wishes for the original body, and on the other hand, he deliberately expressed his intentions.
Originally dropped out of university because of playing games, this is not a glorious experience worthy of praise, and it even quite affected other people's perception of him. Even if Xie Yan managed to lose weight and "change" his personality by the way, it would be difficult to find a good job. In order to complete the counterattack mission and reach the pinnacle of life, Xie Yan can't be a gaming nerd all his life. A job that can be based on, and a commendable social status.
It is true that Xie Yan has a variety of skills, and he can use any of them to achieve his goal, but he can't change too much, lest he can't explain to others why he suddenly learned this skill, so the best way is Take the personality and hobbies of the original body as the development direction, and do the work that the original body may like and do.
After thinking about it, Xie Yan felt that the game "Myriad Realms" was the best entry point. With the original body's enthusiasm for "Myriad Realms", it is not too strange that he is willing to go to the game company of "Myriad Realms" to create this game by himself, and he stays at home all day facing the optical brain game warehouse, knowing some of these things. Class technology is not too abrupt.
Therefore, for the sake of future development, he only showed his talent in Zhao Zehong today. Unfortunately, the results came too fast, which caught him completely off guard, and he even felt a little hesitant.
— After all, the game company of "Myriad Realms" is in another city. If he goes to work, he will definitely have to move there, while Bai Duan still has to stay in the current city to go to university, and he has no way to leave for at least four years.
——Although Xie Yan doesn't think that the long-distance relationship will affect his relationship with Bai Duan, he still feels bad about not being able to get along with his lover day and night.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yan shook his head according to the original character: "...No, I don't want to go."
"Don't lie to me." Bai Duan curled her lips, staring at Xie Yan with black and white eyes, "Actually, you are quite tempted, but you just dare not take that step, right?"
Xie Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but in Bai Duan's penetrating eyes, he lowered his gaze in panic.
"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen you chatting so happily with others." Putting the bowls and chopsticks in his hands into the automatic bowl cleaner, Bai Duan was slightly moved.
"...I, I just thought too much in the past." Xie Yan lowered his head and set the dish cleaner, trying to explain, "It's a rare opportunity, so I just said it all..."
"So you still like it?" Bai Duan shrugged, "If it wasn't because you like it, why would you think so much? And it's all well-founded, it's not out of thin air, even the chief designer of the game agrees with you thoughts?"
Xie Yan fell silent, speechless.
"Since you like it, the opportunity is rare, so don't give up." Bai Duan raised her hand and put it on Xie Yan's arm, "I know what you are struggling with and what you are worried about, but you have to try to take that step— If you really can’t get used to it, just come back.”
Xie Yan still didn't speak, but from his slightly trembling eyelashes and flickering eyes, it could be seen that he was struggling at this moment.
Bai Duan did not continue to persuade, he took the fruit plate and left the kitchen, leaving Xie Yan with a space to think alone.
Bai Duan also knew that if Xie Yan accepted this job, he would move to another city, and it would be impossible for them to see each other all the time like now. But even though he was reluctant to give up, even if he worried that the relationship between the two would cool down because of the distance in space, Bai Duan could not be selfish enough to stop the future of his "friend".
Soon, Xie Yan also came out after washing the dishes, and sat beside Bai Duan, shaking the sofa. He hesitated and turned his head to look at Bai Duan, with a worried and extremely unconfident expression on his face: "I... can I really do it? I have never worked before, and... I rarely communicate with others. I don't know how to communicate with other people. get along… "
"You just don't dare to try." Xie Yan with this appearance made Bai Duan feel very distressed, couldn't help standing up, and hugged his drooping head into his arms, "Actually, you are very good, really!"
Burying his head in Bai Duan's arms, Xie Yan was a little dazed, and almost forgot to continue acting.
After a while, he suppressed his excitement and nostalgia, raised his head: "Really?"
Xie Yan's eyes were full of bewilderment and uncertainty, but also mixed with trust and expectation for Bai Duan, which made Bai Duan's heart soften. He nodded heavily: "Really!"
Xie Yan pursed his lips, and his expression became a little clearer: "If you say that...then, I am willing to believe it."—not in myself, but in Bai Duan.
After understanding Xie Yan's implication, Bai Duan's heartbeat stalled again. The other party's unreserved attachment and trust filled him with satisfaction and joy, and even a sense of responsibility and a desire to protect , wanting to protect the opponent under the wings.
"Actually... I don't want to go, there is another reason." After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yan spoke softly again, "I'm afraid of losing your 'friend'."
Xie Yan's worry hit Bai Duan's heart, and he smiled: "We all have each other's communication numbers, so it's very convenient to get in touch. What's more... in the evening, after you get off work and I get off school, we can still play games together Huh? If that’s the case, it’s no different from now.”
— This is the only place where Xie Yan can feel some comfort. If it was in the ancient world, he would never leave his lover and go to another city alone.
In the end, under Bai Duan's persuasion and encouragement, Xie Yan decided to accept Zhao Hongze's invitation to develop in the city where the "Myriad Worlds" game company is located. Although they were about to part, Bai Duan and Xie Yan still did not reveal their feelings to each other. Xie Yan wanted to save the confession until after he succeeded in losing weight, so as to leave Bai Duan with the most perfect memory; while Bai Duan was a little worried about what would happen to Xie Yan after he went to another city, so he carefully chose to observe for a while.
Since Xie Yan is not the real original body, even though he shows introversion and low self-esteem, he will never lose the chain at the critical moment. Naturally, he passed Zhao Zehong's interview very smoothly and got a new job.
On the day of departure, Bai Duan sent Xie Yan to the aircraft. Before parting, the two of them were quite calm and rational, and there was no "reluctance" to "talk to each other". They just agreed to keep in touch after saying goodbye. Then one person dragged his luggage and boarded the aircraft step by step, while the other returned home silently after watching the aircraft leave.
Obviously, he and Xie Yan have only known each other for more than half a year, but when Bai Duan returned to the room he had lived in for a long time, he felt a lonely, empty and strange smell all around him, as if he had lost something very familiar and very familiar. Important things, the whole person is at a loss.
He stood blankly in the hall for a while, looking around, it seemed that there were traces left by Xie Yan in every corner - except for the time of class, he stayed with Xie Yan almost all the time, exercising together, eating together, While playing games, he left a lot of his personal items at Xie Yan's house, and Xie Yan also invaded his personal space.
If she keeps getting along like this, Bai Duan believes that she will be able to completely drive away the person who left a trace in Xie Yan's heart, and get together with him in a natural way, but now that Xie Yan has moved away, Bai Duan doesn't know that she has a relationship with Xie Yan. Whether the other party can still be as close as before.
— After all, he felt that Xie Yan had a good impression of him, firstly because he was good-looking, and secondly because he was gentle and friendly to him. If Xie Yan met someone similar to himself in another city, accompanied him, encouraged him, and helped him, would he still miss himself instead of getting closer to another person
Regarding this point, Bai Duan is not sure, even if she is uneasy, she can only bury it in her heart.
Feeling upset, Bai Duan couldn't do anything, so he simply opened the game compartment and lay down in it. The last time Zhao Zehong compensated them for the broken quest chain, Bai Duan hadn't checked it carefully yet. He went to the warehouse and stored the things he didn't need at the moment, and then began to think about what fun he should have for himself—now thank you Yan is still on the aircraft, obviously it is impossible to play games with him, and this is probably the first time that Bai Duan hangs out alone in the game after getting to know Xie Yan.
Without Xie Yan's guidance, Bai Duan immediately lost his direction. He opened the nearby task list, and was about to do a few tasks to pass the time. He didn't expect to see a strange but familiar figure just after marking the task location.
The white fox boy walked up to Bai Duan with a cautious expression on his face. Bai Duan frowned, closed the map in front of him, and turned to look at him: "What's the matter?"
"You, hello..." The fox boy shook his ears uneasily. He looked soft and cute, but it was a pity that Bai Duan didn't appreciate it at all. "My name is Luoxi..."
"Yeah, I know you." Bai Duan nodded - Luo Xi is also very famous in the game, although there is a sense of stepping on Xie Yan's position. He has a cute appearance and soft personality. When he was with Xie Yan, he was taken care of and sought after by other players. Later, he became a "victim" who was "deceived" by Xie Yan, earning a lot of sympathy points. Today, his name is on the popularity list and appearance list, and he can already be regarded as a well-known player.
Bai Duan's performance was quite flat, neither friendly nor repulsive, which made Luo Xi feel a little relieved. He pursed his lips, summoned up the courage to look up at Bai Duan: "I want... to tell you something... about Qian Linfeng..."
"Qian Linfeng" is Xie Yan's game ID, Bai Duan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this name, and looked at Luo Xi with scrutiny.
— So, what is the situation now? A chance encounter, or a special meeting
—Choose this rare time when he entered the game alone to talk about Xie Yan. Could this be the legendary "predecessor's demonstration"
