"I know why a crow looks like a writing desk." Lin Huai said, "The little prince loves his roses, what about you? Are you a prince?"
At the moment he said those words, a gust of wind hit the empty street.
Chu Tianshu turned around formally and looked at him from top to bottom. The blood-red sunset sank into mist behind him.
He was already half a head taller than Lin Huai, not to mention he was still standing uphill. He bent down little by little, and his shadow, elongated by the setting sun, moved up little by little until it completely covered Lin Huai's body.
But Lin Huai didn't move.
Finally, his hands rested on Lin Huai's shoulders.
"You know." He chuckled, "but so what?"
That chuckle was not the loud laugh he used to express his "happy mood", nor the sincere and sunny smile he often showed when changing the subject.
But at this moment, Lin Huai found that he caught a glimpse of another side of Chu Tianshu that had never been shown before his eyes.
When they first met and tested each other, Chu Tianshu also inadvertently missed such a performance. It's just that most of the time later, he used other sides of himself to cover it up.
But this time...
"So," Lin Huai also smiled, "Since the examiner of the game can assign copies to the players, let's play a game too."
"what game?"
"The war, the war between the two of us, starts now." Lin Huai did not blink, "Now, let me show my cards first."
As soon as Lin Huai finished speaking, his hands were already on the other party's neck.
Chu Tianshu's head was pulled down severely by him.
However, Chu Tianshu did not struggle, as if he was also waiting for Lin Huai, looking forward to what Lin Huai would do next.
Then, the same touch fell on his forehead.
—Same as last night, kiss.
"Okay." Lin Huai said softly, "This is my 'show hand'."
He paused and said again:
"I seem to be a little... starting to care about you." He said, "And you, do you like me?"
Huoshaoyun quickly descended behind them, and then he saw Chu Tianshu smiling softly.
"you guess?"
Lin Huai: "..."
"I guess you fell in love with me a long time ago, right?" Lin Huai said angrily, "You followed me into the dungeon, followed me to Jiangcun, you found me in the civilized world, you found me in reality, in this In the dungeon, he pretended to be a straight man and a gentleman all day long, saying that he was not bewitched by me... "
"What I said is true." Chu Tianshu said straightly, "I only said that I was not affected by the buff, but I didn't say..."
I do not like you.
Lin Huai: ...
"Because I would have liked you without this buff." Chu Tianshu said straightforwardly, "So from the beginning to the end, I did not lie."
Lin Huai: ...
"Then do you think it's fun to tease me?" He buried his head on the other person's shoulder, "Tell me about things that friends will do, talk about friends together, talk about pranks... Do you find it interesting?"
"Well, that's..." Chu Tianshu touched his nose, "First of all, I can't scare you away."
"Secondly, if you don't do this, you won't get used to me before you like me. You are very vigilant, and ordinary people... who will get into your eyes?"
"Finally," he said sincerely, "your reaction is quite amusing."
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu touched his face: "Now I'm all in, are you satisfied with this answer?"
After a while, Lin Huai finally spoke.
"I'm very satisfied." He said darkly, "So from now on..."
He pushed Chu Tianshu away, and showed a complacent and triumphant expression: "I won!"
Chu Tianshu: "Huh?"
Chu Tianshu's brain froze. And Lin Huai finally showed the joyful smile of the peasant who turned over and sang, elated for another day.
"It turns out that you are not so difficult to understand." He bowed his waist to look at him, with a happy smile that can be called a villain's ambition, "I understand now..."
"You're trying to get my attention on purpose." He concluded, "Oh, straight man."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"... You'd better confess to me about other things." After returning to the villa, Lin Huai was still asking him warningly, "Our past, various things, and... well, you kept it from me. All sorts of things, and most importantly…”
"How strong are you?" Lin Huai asked the question he wanted to know the most at the moment, "You beat 63 copies of me on the ground, so you..."
"Uh," Chu Tianshu thought for a while, "is the level of an ordinary high-level player?"
Lin Huai: ... as ordinary as Yoshikage Kira
"It's probably at the level of a high-level player who is chased by a whole mercenary group in a city and can still beat them back and escape completely." Chu Tianshu scratched his head, "Compared to targeting ghosts, In terms of spiritual attacks, my physical attacks are higher. My skills are... my titles are... my props are... their combination is... wait a minute, I will open a computer."
As he said that, he took out his computer: "Let me calculate my maximum output, attack speed and crit rate for you..."
Lin Huai:
Chu Tianshu seemed to completely ignore him for an instant, and just started typing on the keyboard and calculating on his own. After ignoring Lin Huai for ten minutes, he touched his chin: "That's not right... The last time I calculated it, it was obviously not this number..."
He pushed Lin Huai: "Wait a minute, I will do the calculation again. This time I will change the algorithm..."
Lin Huai: ...
When it comes to combat power, Chu Tianshu seems to have no humanity, and has become a tool that can only calculate. After ignoring Lin Huai for an hour, he finally woke up Lin Huai who was napping on the sofa: "It should be this number..."
Lin Huai rubbed his eyes, looking at the form that he couldn't understand. Chu Tianshu was still complacent: "Are you amazing?"
Lin Huai: "With all due respect, I can't understand anything except that they are all numbers."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"Speaking of props," Lin Huai also became interested, "Do you have any interesting props?"
He couldn't help but think of the pile of crap he pulled out from the turntable. Chu Tianshu flipped through the form and said, "This prop is quite interesting..."

Chu Tianshu: "And this."

Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "And this, this prop is called Playing House."
"Play house?"
Chu Tianshu told him the story of how he got the prop.
Although the name of this prop sounds like a play, and its function also looks like a play, but it is not easy to get. In that game, Chu Tianshu and other players were each responsible for taking care of their own doll. They are required to carry it on their backs every day, take care of it, and stay close to each other... During the process of taking care of the toy, many players find it difficult to control themselves and synchronize with the toy.
Some of them were sucked away by the dolls, and died of various accidents in the process of taking care of the dolls; His skin gradually hardened like resin; the player who synchronized with the doll angrily tried to smash the doll, but at the same time smashed his own head... In short, through logic and reasoning, Chu Tianshu finally found the salesman. The shop owner of the doll broke into the other party's house after calling the 315 hotline. While bringing the unscrupulous manufacturer to justice, he also took away all the toys from the seller's house... No, he got a gift from the boss.

Lin Huai: ...
He looked at Chu Tianshu's series of props, and finally expressed emotion: "Why do all your props sound like a joke..."
Chu Tianshu scratched his head, he peeled off a lollipop, stuffed it into his mouth, and continued: "I also made a preliminary observation, statistics and evaluation of your strength..."
"The results of it?"
"Roughly speaking, if you don't use mental attacks, I can subdue you." Chu Tianshu said.
Lin Huai: ...
He looked at Lin Huai's downcast face, and quickly explained: "But you don't have to worry, I will do domestic violence to you..."
Lin Huaixu rolled his eyes: "...domestic violence?"
Chu Tianshu:
"You're thinking about farting." Lin Huai concluded, "I haven't planned to fall in love with you yet."
"what?"
Chu Tianshu was dumbfounded. Lin Huai was once again complacent, and he shook his fingers: "I just said that I started to care about you and wanted to know about you, but I didn't say... I like you?"
"Fengshui takes turns, the emperor takes turns, come to my house next year." He pressed Chu Tianshu's shoulder, "Although I know you have a crush on me, but from now on..."
"Let's just be friends, huh?"
He intentionally rubbed Chu Tianshu's face with the tip of his nose. After a while, he laughed and went upstairs.
Chu Tianshu: ...
The bedroom door was closed. Sadako and Kayako looked at each other, tiptoeing to go upstairs.
"... You guys let him out?"
A cold voice sounded from Chu Tianshu's mouth, and he hit the wrench again and again, as if he was in a very bad mood.
Sadako: "... No, I didn't do it. Who knows the terrain of this place better, don't you know?"
Kayako: "..."
After having a good talk with Jiaye, Chu Tianshu sat on the second floor and suddenly squeezed his nose hard.
"Like an idiot," he cursed.
No one knows whether he is cursing Kayako, Sadako, himself... or someone else. He put his hands under his head, lay on the sofa, and looked at the sky.
Then he stroked his chin with his fingers.
"If he still runs out tomorrow, it won't be easy..." He muttered, "Or lock him up? Well..."
What worried Chu Tianshu did not happen the next day. Lin Huai kept his promise very well and stayed in the villa obediently.
"Come back early," he said.
Chu Tianshu looked back at him worriedly. Lin Huai stood between Sadako and Kayako, smiling unusually... well-behaved.
"You guys remember to rehearse well at home," he finally said.
Although Lin Huai has been expelled from the school, he does not intend to give up his campaign for the title of "Miss Liangchuan". His current ultimate goal is to rehearse a unique performance with Sadako and Kayako, and perform at the school festival.
—and be the best performer of the night.
After thinking about it many times, he decided to let Sadako, who always likes to crawl around in the well and on the ground with her ten fingers and has a fast hand speed, learn to play the piano. Kayako, who always screams and has a lot of lung capacity, sings.
And himself, using the saxophone, the three of them together performed the final performance of the night.
The song that is about to be starred in is named by him - "Bloody Album".
During their intense rehearsal, Chu Tianshu also returned to school.
He walked around the school, but found no trace of the boy at the front desk who was not at home.
"strangeness… "
He thought so, passing the playground. There, the labyrinth for the school festival is nearly completed.
The students chatted about new rumors while building the maze.
"... I heard about that person."
"That person? Which person, which person?"
"Who else, of course it's that person." The student said mysteriously, "I heard that after dropping out of school, he didn't go home, but went out to live with other men..."
Chu Tianshu: ...
The other man touched his nose, and found himself the new protagonist of the pornographic news. This realization made him a little depressed, but also a little happy.
He walked around the corner and met two other people unexpectedly.
The ones who met him unexpectedly were the unscrupulous master and Qu Mei. Qu Mei raised her head and was a little puzzled after seeing him: "Is Lin Huai not with you?"
Chu Tianshu:
"Right now, there are rumors about him everywhere in the school." Qu Mei shrugged, "There are also those students, one or two of whom are crazy and want to kill him..."
"Yes, it's emotional injury. The male god I liked, but he doesn't like me, and he's flirting with other people, getting entangled." He snapped his fingers.
"Yes, it's jealousy. They couldn't understand him from the very beginning, and made up a lot of ugly rumors about him. Their goal was indeed achieved, and he dropped out of school. But everyone still only saw him , Only talk about him." Qu Mei shrugged, "Sometimes jealousy is really a terrible thing."
"What's more, is hatred. Love begets hate, and hate begets love..." Qu Mei said, "By the way, I don't want to be your enemy now. I have already made a pretty beautiful model based on him. puppet. In return for your favor of driving me to school, let me remind you—”
He whispered, "Be careful with Zhang Mingo."
After speaking, he waved his hand and planned to leave here. When he was about to leave, Chu Tianshu stopped him: "Wait a minute."
"Wait a minute?" Qu Mei turned around and smiled viciously, "Are you interested in Zhang Mingo's information?"
"I have a piece of props that can help your puppet upgrade—of course, it's your 'youth' puppet." Chu Tianshu said, "I haven't seen you before, but I have seen your puppet. You put Players made into puppets? Your craftsmanship is actually very sophisticated."
Qu Mei: ...
He was silent for a while, then said lightly, "That's my brother."
"Oh," Chu Tianshu was not interested in this, "I'll give you the props in exchange..."
