Qiu Yanzhi was having lunch when he received the call from Chen Lesi.
He saw the three words of Chen Lesi flashing on the screen of the mobile phone, stared at it for two seconds, then put down the chopsticks in his hand and answered the phone.
His Adam's apple trembled slightly, but his voice was extremely calm: "Hello."
Chen Lesi's tone was warm and lively: "Qiu Yanzhi, congratulations, I heard that you woke up, alas, if I hadn't been on a business trip abroad now, I would have come to see you!"
Qiu Yanzhi lowered his eyelids: "Thank you."
Chen Lesi asked him, "How are you recovering now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "The recovery is pretty good, and I'm going to be discharged from the hospital in the next two days."
Chen Lesi: "That's fine, that's fine. Oh, you don't know. I was shocked when I heard that you suddenly fell into a coma and became a vegetable..."
Chen Lesi paused for a moment and asked cautiously, "But... how did you fall into a coma? I called a while ago, and your nurse picked it up. I asked her about the reason for your coma, but she couldn't explain it either. Just saying that you fell asleep and fell into a coma..."
Qiu Yanzhi was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Chen Lesi, what was the name of the game installation package you sent me at that time?"
""Love Home", what? It hasn't been online for more than 4 months, and I can't remember the name..."
Qiu Yanzhi interrupted him: "No, the game you sent me is called "Dream Eater"."
Chen Lesi's voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly.
He was silent for a while, his voice trembling slightly: "... you... what did you say?"
"The game I played is called "Dream Eater"."
Chen Lesi hurriedly sat down from the bed, walked to the desk, and turned on his computer.
He opens his mailbox and finds the sent mail.
Seeing the content of the email he sent half a year ago, a cold sweat broke out down his back for a moment.
Chen Lesi said incredulously: "... how, how is it possible, this game has obviously been closed, you... how could you... "
"Chen Lesi." Qiu Yanzhi said, "Has there been an accident in this game?"
"… Yes."
Chen Lesi suddenly understood something, he slumped down on the chair, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "...You, did you fall into a coma just because of this game?"
Qiu Yanzhi said, "If I answer yes, does your behavior belong to negligence?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry Qiu Yanzhi, I don't know, I sent you the wrong email..."
"I won't sue you." Qiu Yanzhi said.
Chen Lesi: "Thank you, thank you..."
Qiu Yanzhi said, "But you have to promise me that you are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter."
"I promise you, of course I promise you!"
Qiu Yanzhi took a deep breath and said, "Also, I need to know all the information about this game."
Although Chen Lesi didn't know what Qiu Yanzhi wanted to do, he still told Qiu Yanzhi all the information he knew.
This is a game that their company developed 4 years ago.
But just before the listing, the biggest investor in this game entered the game to try it out, but there was an accident and he couldn't wake up.
Even if the investor was sent to the hospital, the doctor was helpless.
Moreover, the investor was a prominent investor. After his family knew about this, they were even more obsessed with their company. They sued their company to almost go bankrupt. Several programmers were sentenced to prison, and even the boss almost got involved. After that, the game was permanently shut down, and even became a ban from their company, and no one was allowed to mention it.
Qiu Yanzhi asked, "How is the investor now? Is he still in a coma?"
Chen Lesi said: "I don't know, his news and information are well protected by his family, but I heard from the gossip... That person seems to be gone... So thank you very much for waking up."
Qiu Yanzhi was quiet for a while, and then asked, "There are a lot of bugs in that game, there is still a chance to open the server, can it be fixed?"
Chen Lesi frowned and asked inexplicably, "What? Do you still want to go in and play?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "...I just wanted to ask if there is a possibility of repair."
Chen Lesi said: "If the game wants to be repaired and opened, it is estimated that it will require tens of millions of funds."
Qiu Yanzhi was silent for a while, and then said, "So, there is still the possibility of repair."
"But that game that has killed people is basically impossible to make money on the market again. Even if the repair is successful, you can only play it yourself. Who wants to spend tens of millions to play a game!"
Before Qiu Yanzhi and Chen Lesi ended the call, he asked him again if he had any pictures of the game's characters or posters around him.
"No, after the accident 4 years ago, all those things were destroyed. To be honest, the installation package I sent you was collected by accident, but it couldn't be used at all... So you downloaded it successfully. That installing the package and getting into the game made me feel like…”
Chen Lesi paused and used an inappropriate word to describe it, "... supernatural phenomenon.".
Qiu Yanzhi didn't want to disturb the NPCs in the game world, and he didn't even want to destroy the environment in which his parents, family and friends in the game depended to survive.
Qiu Yanzhi once told himself that if he went out, he would forget about the game world, not tell anyone, and never enter the game world again.
But he can't do it now.
He is now madly trying to fix the game world.
… repair Hezhou.
Qiu Yanzhi thought.
He needs money now.
Lots and lots of money.
But Qiu Yanzhi is just an ordinary little translator. Even if he belongs to the upper-middle level in the industry, even if he works all day and night, it is impossible to earn so much money in a short period of time.
… not even earning that much in a lifetime.
Qiu Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly and looked down at the phone number of Qiu Hongsheng on the screen of his mobile phone.
He stared at the numbers for a long time.
His fingers were holding the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.
He Qiu Yanzhi has not spent a single cent of Qiu Hongsheng's money since he was an adult, and even his purpose and motivation to earn money is to leave the Qiu family.
He had already spent tens of thousands of Qiu Hongsheng in the game, but when he used the money, he figured that if he couldn't get out, it would be fine, but if he did, he would have to pay Qiu Hongsheng's money back to him in full. of Cary.
But is he going to ask Qiu Hongsheng for money now, and it is tens of millions when he opens his mouth
This almost forced Qiu Yanzhi to smash his own bones with his own hands.
Qiu Yanzhi finally put down the phone.
But it hurts like fire.
Qiu Yanzhi stayed in the hospital for two more days and was discharged. He was young and his physical fitness was not bad. When he was discharged, he could walk slowly.
It's just that after walking for a long time, my legs still hurt.
When Qiu Yanzhi returned home, he sat on the sofa and beat his legs weakly.
For the past four months, no one has lived in the apartment, but Kong Xiujie still keeps the place clean.
Seeing Qiu Yanzhi sitting on the sofa in a daze, Kong Xiujie made him another cup of hot tea.
Qiu Yanzhi took the tea, then smiled at Kong Xiujie and said, "Thank you."
Qiu Yanzhi paused and looked up at Kong Xiujie, "Auntie Kong, thank you very much for taking care of me during this time."
Qiu Yanzhi had dark eyes and a sincere expression. Kong Xiujie felt a little embarrassed when she looked at the ground. She scratched her head and said awkwardly, "...This, this is what I should do."
Qiu Yanzhi rolled his eyes and said softly, "Thank you for everything you've done, and thank you for being with me all this time."
Kong Xiujie also laughed.
Qiu Yanzhi asked, "I think our contract can be renewed for another year, what do you think?"
Kong Xiujie rubbed the corners of her clothes, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, Mr. Qiu, my wife's illness is almost cured, he... He has been urging me to go back to my hometown all this time, I... I may not be able to. continue to take care of you."
Qiu Yanzhi's smile slowly faded.
Then he pursed his lips and said, "That's a pity, but I wish you a good life back home."
Kong Xiujie left that night.
Qiu Yanzhi wrapped her a red envelope.
After Kong Xiujie left, Qiu Yanzhi sat alone on the sofa for a long time, then lowered his head and took out the photo from the phone case.
The photo that the retoucher worked on for 4 hours was printed.
Qiu Yanzhi printed many sheets, one of which was placed behind the phone case.
He reached out and touched the man's face in the photo, from his eyes to the tip of his nose.
It's like being missed.
Qiu Yanzhi thought he could endure for a while longer.
As a result, he couldn't help but called Qiu Hongsheng on the second day.
Qiu Yanzhi wanted to talk about borrowing money, but he opened his mouth several times without making a sound.
In the end, it was Qiu Hongcheng's mouth: "What is the word?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "...Dad."
Qiu Hongsheng said, "I heard that you were discharged from the hospital. How has your recovery been in the past two days?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "It's good, I don't feel like it's a big problem anymore."
Qiu Hongsheng: "Let's go home for dinner tonight, just to celebrate your discharge from the hospital."
Qiu Yanzhi: "Okay."
Just two or three sentences and hung up the phone.
Obviously they are father and son, but they feel more alienated and embarrassed than strangers.
As soon as I eat, I eat a lot of things.
Qiu Hongsheng mentioned Qiu Yanzhi's relationship status. Before Qiu Yanzhi could speak, Qiu Xicheng answered for him: "Zhizhi only knows how to study, and he hasn't talked about his girlfriend yet."
After Qiu Xicheng finished speaking, he blinked at Qiu Yanzhi, as if to say, "Look, how good it is for you to hide."
Qiu Hongsheng said solemnly: "Yanzhi, you are almost 25 years old this year, and it is time to think about your future. The youngest daughter of the Yuming Group is about the same age as you..."
Qiu Yanzhi interrupted him: "Dad, I have no intention of getting married yet."
"Let's meet first, and then we'll talk about it when it's not suitable."
Qiu Hongsheng made a final decision.
Just meet people.
Qiu Yanzhi couldn't find a reason to refuse. Besides, he wanted to ask Qiu Hongsheng to borrow money, so he didn't have the confidence to resist him.
If it was just borrowing money, Qiu Yan didn't say anything until he left the house.
Next time.
I'll talk about it next time when Qiu Xicheng is away.
The place where he had a blind date with the youngest daughter of Yuming Group, Xu Wei, was in a cafe.
Qiu Yanzhi felt very embarrassed. He went out on a blind date as a homosexual, didn't he delay others.
He arrived half an hour early.
Xu Wei is a very beautiful girl, with long black shawl hair, and a long skirt under a white woolen coat, she looks elegant.
Qiu Yanzhi felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Xu Wei sat opposite Qiu Yanzhi, blinked and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiu looks better than the picture."
Qiu Yanzhi smiled: "Miss Xu too."
Qiu Yanzhi paused and said, "Miss Xu, although I'm sorry, I still decided to tell you the truth. It was my father's decision to have a blind date with you. I have no idea of marrying a wife and having children."
Xu Wei shrugged: "What a coincidence, I was also forced by my dad."
Xu Wei propped himself on the table, cupped his face, and looked at Qiu Yanzhi: "But Mr. Qiu's appearance suits my taste very well."
Qiu Yanzhi sighed and decided to tell the truth: "I'm really sorry, I'm actually gay."
Xu Wei was not surprised, instead he lowered his head and took a sip of juice: "I know."
"You know?" Qiu Yanzhi raised an eyebrow.
Xu Wei blinked: "You don't know me anymore?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "Who are you?"
Xu Wei put down the straw in his hand and said, "Aren't you that idiot boyfriend!"
Fee idiots
... Fei Sihao
Qiu Yanzhi suddenly remembered something.
I finally know why this girl is inexplicably familiar.
... It turns out that she is Fei Sihao's flirt.
They also had an embarrassing encounter in the morning hallway.
Xu Wei: "I heard that you have been in a coma for 4 months, haven't you broken up with Fei idiot yet?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "Not yet."
Xu Wei seemed to be a little interested, and got closer, his eyes were bright: "Does that Fei know that you have greened him too?"
Qiu Yanzhi frowned: "Why do I also green him?"
Xu Wei shrugged: "Didn't you spend the night with other men while falling in love with him?"
Qiu Yanzhi wanted to veto for a moment, but he was stunned again after thinking of something.
The night before he and Xu Wei met.
It was indeed a night with another man.
But in the game, and He Zhou.
They also experienced a terrible first night.
But... How did Xu Wei know
Qiu Yanzhi looked at her suspiciously: "...How do you know that I spent the night with someone else?"
Xu Wei smiled: "I have good eyesight, of course I saw the marks on the back of your neck."
Qiu Yanzhi was stunned: "...what traces?"
"Don't you know it yourself? There were hickeys all over the back of your neck."
Qiu Yanzhi sat there dumbfounded, and did not regain his senses for a long time.
… Xu Wei saw the hickey He Zhou left him in the game outside the game.
This incident is obviously bizarre, so strange that it makes the scalp tingle, but Qiu Yan only felt his fingers trembling, his breathing was short of breath, his heart was pounding in his chest, and there was even an unspeakable excitement in his heart.
The traces in the game were brought to reality by him.
Does that mean...
illustrate…
Qiu Yanzhi stood up suddenly!
Does it mean that He Zhou also has a chance to come out of the game? !
"No, I'm sorry, I'm leaving first!"
Qiu Yanzhi put a few banknotes on the table, picked up the phone on the table, and hurriedly left the cafe.
His legs were a little weak, and the sound of his heart beating almost drowned out all the noise on the road.
He is going to find Qiu Hongsheng.
He wants to borrow money.
He wants to fix bugs.
He wants to resurrect He Zhou.
He wants... He wants to bring He Zhou out!
Qiu Yanzhi opened the car door and buckled almost several times before he buckled his seat belt, and then he started the engine.
Qiu Yanzhi's throat was dry and his palms were sweating.
He stared straight at the road, but when he turned left, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
Qiu Yanzhi shook his hand and hit the isolation belt.
His head slammed against the steering wheel, blood dripping from his forehead.
Qiu Yanzhi didn't even have time to wipe the blood, and turned his head tremblingly.
Then his tears suddenly flowed down, and a throbbing of sadness and joy flashed across his face.
He hurriedly pulled out his seat belt, pushed open the door, and almost stumbled over.
"... He... He Zhou!"
The man in the wheelchair froze when he heard the sound, and turned his head slowly.
Qiu Yanzhi's footsteps were deep and shallow, and he stumbled to the man's side.
Then he suddenly hugged him in his arms.
The man was stunned for a moment, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
His lips trembled slightly, and he stretched out his hand with some effort.
He hugged Qiu Yanzhi.
