When Chi Yan was an undergraduate, he once followed the trend and played a very popular role-playing game at that time, called "Painting Immortal Fate".
When he named the character's name, he somehow had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the name "Ye Sanqian", and he felt a good feeling in his heart, feeling familiar and very smooth. He has a personality, does not pretend to be forced, and has a taste of uninhibited knights. He decided on this name at that time.
Not long after that, he met a girl called "Fan Baby" in the game.
His name is not a common one, but this person has a name with the word "Fan", and Chi Yan felt that he was destined at that time. After that, they became more familiar with "Fan Baby" by various coincidences. The more they got along, the more they got to know each other. They even became friends and invited guests and friends to become husband and wife in the game. two years.
During the daily conversation, Chi Yan learned that Yan Bao was a student in his same year and also went to school in City A, so he euphemistically asked for a meeting with a kind of expectation and longing that he could not explain, but the other party didn't respond. Rejected with a trace. Chi Yan did not dare to mention it after that. After that, he was busy with research, writing graduation thesis and other things, so he would no longer log in to the game.
It wasn't until a weekend a month after the graduate school started that Lao Yuan, an undergraduate student who had dragged him to play "Painting Immortal Fate", dragged him to accompany him to a player meeting held near University A of the game.
It was at this meeting that he met Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi said that she was the baby of Yan. She was admitted to Chi Yan's school for graduate school. When the player reported the game server and ID to get the souvenir, she found out that Chi Yan was "Ye Sanqing" and hurried over to recognize him.
Chi Yan admitted that he was very pleasantly surprised when he first met "Baby Yan" in real life, but it may be because people's performance in reality is different from that in the Internet, and within an hour of being with Gu Xixi, he felt that the other party was very close to him. The "Feast Baby" in the game gave him a very different feeling, much to his disappointment.
After all, he once imagined that if "Fan Baby" really met him in reality, he would ask him to be his girlfriend... or even marry him back home...
However, Gu Xixi remembered every detail and even what they said in the game. Moreover, the game "Painting Immortal Fate" can customize the appearance of the character, commonly known as "pinching the face". The characters created by each player look different, but Gu Xixi looks almost exactly the same as the "Fan Baby" in the game. It is obvious that this girl is the virtual character created by her actual appearance.
These make Chi Yan unable to deny that Gu Xixi is the "Fan Baby".
Out of a favorable impression of the Yan baby in the game, Chi Yan and Gu Xixi have always maintained their friendship politely, and even refused to be too straightforward and stern even in the face of the other party's obvious showing of affection.
It's already late October, and it's been three months since I left school.
But he and his roommate Ye Yingzhi were still not very familiar with each other.
The postgraduate dormitories are all two-person rooms. Ye Ying's house is in City A, so he doesn't go back to the dormitory every day. Basically, he only lives three days a week. He didn't go to lectures very often, and students in the philosophy department didn't see him often. Moreover, the other party is very low-key, will not participate in any activities, and does not act in public. Chi Yan can only simply judge that the other party's family should be very good, and his own family is relatively wealthy, and it can be seen that Ye Yingzhi's clothes are simple but very elegant.
He is from the Department of Economics, and Ye Yingzhi is from the Department of Philosophy. He heard from a classmate he knew from the Department of Philosophy that Ye Yingzhi's grades were quite good, and he could choose any major at the undergraduate or graduate level. Philosophy is now one of the most unpopular majors. In comparison, it is not easy to get a job. People still prefer to go to a major with easy employment and high income such as finance. Most of the students who have good grades but choose to study philosophy have no family. Burdened true love.
Chi Yan was talking about Ye Yingzhi with the classmate from the Department of Philosophy at that time, propped her chin in a somewhat bewildered way, "I can't imagine that Ye Yingzhi would like a cold painting style like Kant."
The classmate was surprised: "Why do you think so? Isn't he a cold-blooded style?"
Chi Yan leaned on her chin, always feeling that something was wrong.

After breakfast, Chi Yan took the initiative to wash the pot and wash the dishes, and honestly put the pot back to its original place for Ye Yingzhi.
Ye Yingzhi was putting on his coat and looked like he was going out.
There is no class today on Saturday. He originally thought that Ye Yingzhi would not come back at night. He went to bed at eleven o'clock last night, and he didn't know what time the other party came back. Why did he have to go out early in the morning.
He stood up and looked at Ye Yingzhi: "Are you going out again?"
Ye Yingzhi nodded: "There is something."
The relationship between the two was not close enough to ask each other's private affairs, so Chi Yan didn't ask any more, thinking that maybe Ye Yingzhi was going to see his girlfriend? Will Ye Yingzhi have a girlfriend? What would he be like to his lover, whether to stay away from strangers or make breakfast tenderly... Thinking about it, he was a little distracted, until he was interrupted by the vibrating sound of the phone message.
It was Lao Yuan who asked him to play ball in the afternoon.
Lao Yuan is his undergraduate roommate and has a good relationship. He was also the one who brought Chi Yan to play games. After graduating, he went to B University next door to study for graduate school, but every weekend when he was free, he would still invite his former classmates to play golf together.
Chi Yan readily accepted the invitation, and after changing clothes at noon and simply having a meal in the cafeteria, he played football with a few friends on the playground for an afternoon, and the group broke up after five o'clock.
The rest of Lao Yuan didn't leave, he hummed and said that the food in the cafeteria of B was too unpalatable, and the spicy hot pot seemed to be boiled instead of fried. It's still his alma mater, and I beg Chi Yan to take him to eat his favorite cheap and good-quality Teppanyaki on the second floor.
The two were chatting while having dinner, and Lao Yuan suddenly said, "Hey, what about your wife, ruler?"
Chi Yan: "...I don't have a wife!"
"I said Gu Xixi, isn't she your wife in the game."
"How can this be mixed up..." Chi Yan was speechless, "Games are games, we are just ordinary friends, and we usually don't have much contact." Don't mention the matter of delivering breakfast in the morning, otherwise Lao Yuan can only add fuel to his brain.
Lao Yuan also looked puzzled: "Why? On the day I went to the meeting, I could feel that she had a good impression of you. Didn't you always like her very much in the game, and set off fireworks for her to stay up late to brush equipment or something. Then When we all said that your wife must be a ladyboy, you don't give up, but now you see that she is really a little beauty, but you don't call..."
He murmured to himself: "...and I really think you two are very destined. Her name is Yan Baobao, and she looks just like you..."
"What did you say?" Chi Yan forgot to eat in shock, put down his chopsticks and pointed at his nose, "You said that Gu Xixi and I look alike?" It's like a game character, how can it be like yourself
Lao Yuan waved his hand: "Oh, don't get excited about the ruler, Gu Xixi doesn't really look like you. I mean the game character 'Yanbao' she created, although everyone can see that she is pinching her own face. Yes, but with game modeling, those eyes, that mouth, just... that kind of feeling is very similar to you."
Chi Yan had a mysterious look on his face and couldn't listen to it anymore. He hurriedly made an excuse to buy drinks for the two and ran away. After buying the drinks, he guided Lao Yuan to change the topic and let him continue to complain about the cafeteria B.
After sending Lao Yuan away, Chi Yan went back to the dormitory alone, surfing the Internet and listening to songs, and unknowingly it was 12:30 in the evening.
He remembered that tomorrow was Sunday, and was guessing that Ye Yingzhi would not be back tonight, when he heard the sound of the key being inserted into the door lock and turning.
The door was pushed open with a squeak, Chi Yan took off his earphones and turned around, seeing Ye Yingzhi pushing the door open.
Ye Yingzhi closed the door, took off his coat and hung it in the closet, turned to look at Chi Yan, who was staring at him blankly, and suddenly smiled.
He walked over, stood in front of Chi Yan and lowered his head slightly: "Why do you keep looking at me? Why don't you sleep?" Miss me? The last three words were almost blurted out, but he swallowed them back.
Chi Yan looked up at him: "Why didn't you stay at home and come back?"
Ye Yingzhi said with an "um": "It's not very safe outside recently. I will live in the school. You should try to come back as early as possible in the evening."
Not too safe
Chi Yan was about to ask when he saw Ye Yingzhi took a glass of water from the water dispenser and sat back, unbuttoned the two shirt buttons on his chest, then lowered his head and unbuttoned his cuff buttons casually, and said in a flat tone: "You Didn't you hear about it? Just now someone died at Liangjiekou, with his eyes open and his tongue cut out."
Chi Yan was startled and opened his eyes wide to look at the other party. He was crashing into Ye Yingzhi's calm bottomless black pupils.
