"And then?" Dr. Lu asked excitedly, sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Sitting on the chair and looking at the ceiling, Qi Leren, who was ashes as his ashes, said: "Then the two of us were embarrassed. I tried to exchange a few words, but my mind was completely out of control. Fortunately, he seemed to be more broken than me, look. The look at the river surface made me think he was going to jump off several times."
"Goddess of Gao Leng, introverted and pure love... Oh no, male god, I thought that I had met the soft girl I liked, and the soft girl was desperate for his life. It's a man, he didn't have anal on the spot... Cough, hacking you to death is considered polite. After all, you deceived the heart of a pure and innocent boy." Dr. Lu complained bluntly.
"How did I know! He also deceived me! Ah ah ah my goddess! My goddess, my first love!" Qi Leren suddenly became mad again, grabbed Dr. Lu's pillow and smashed it on the bed , and then went to bed, thinking about life like a corpse.
"What about the others?" Dr. Lu asked with a smile.
"Later we said goodbye and went back to our respective homes. Anyway, we will definitely not meet again in the future. It's too embarrassing and shameful. It's a hundred times worse than finding out that the other party's gender is misunderstood when they meet online!" Qi Leren recalled the task All kinds of throbbing sweet and affectionate memories have all turned into ruthless mockery of fate. He didn't even have the courage to think about it again from the beginning to the end, but restrained himself from thinking about Ning Zhou.
Maybe it will be a long time before he can look at this experience calmly, and they may still be friends at that time, but at least for now, neither he nor Ning Zhou can accept this.
"Hey, haven't you thought about trying it out with Ning Zhou? After all, you both share life and death in the mission. Ignoring the mistake of gender, it's a completely romantic and touching story. , can't think of this?" Doctor Lu asked regretfully.
"...I'm a straight man, thank you. Ning Zhou looks straighter than me. Do you think that people's sexual orientations are like plasticine and bend whenever they want?" Qi Leren gave him a sideways look.
Dr. Lu actually thought about it seriously: "It's not impossible. If it was me, I would think about it very seriously."
"...Because you're a Schrödinger straight man, don't compare us." Qi Leren said angrily.
"But I really think you two are very destined. It's a pity to part ways like this, uh... If you are afraid of male sex, I can give you a digital examination and let you experience the pleasure of the prostate. My skills are still good. Yes. Maybe after you try it, you think it's pretty good, and you can accept male-to-male behavior." Dr. Lu touched his chin and suggested seriously.
"..." The doctor is horrible. Qi Leren looked at Dr. Lu with a serious face, and felt that his not-so-tall figure suddenly became fierce.
"Are you really not trying?" Dr. Lu asked sincerely.
"Lu, Cang, Shu!" Qi Leren called him by his name word by word.
"Don't call me Lu Cangshu, call me Doctor Lu, or you can call me Director Lu!" Doctor Lu said with a serious face.
"I didn't expect you to be a director at such a young age." Qi Leren said in surprise.
Dr. Lu waved his hand: "No, this is a good hope for the future. You must call me President Lu, then I have no problem..."
"… "
Being interrupted like this, Qi Leren's broken mood finally improved a little. On the way to Dr. Lu's house, he was so lost that he almost hit the wall several times. After complaining to his friends, he finally felt a little calmer.
"How are you doing these days? Should you go on a mission?" Qi Leren asked about Dr. Lu's situation.
"Well, I'm a doctor. Nanny is welcome everywhere. Didn't you see the sign downstairs when you came? Now I'm also a well-known doctor nearby. A few days ago, I had a meeting with a few new teammates. The dungeon, although most of them were unfortunate enough to hit the streets, but I was lucky. I managed to earn a few days of survival. I am going to find a simpler novice dungeon to try in a few days. I don't want to be half-coaxed by that group of people. Dangerous dungeon." Dr. Lu said with lingering fears.
"Where's Xue Yingying?" Qi Leren asked again.
"She seems to have found a good team and now rarely contacts me." Dr. Lu said.
Although they came from the same novice village, they may not be able to stay together forever in the nightmare world. Qi Le people understand this truth, but they still feel a little regretful. The players who live here have already been far away from their relatives and friends. As the survival time is longer, even the teammates around them will die one by one, and they will continue to meet new teammates and lose them. In the end, even themselves are at risk.
It feels so lonely.
Qi Leren couldn't help thinking of Ning Zhou again. His taciturn and loner personality might be more lonely than the average person... Recalling his indifference from the beginning to the gentleness later in the mission... Forget it, I still think What do these do? The nightmare world is so big, they may not meet again in the future. For some reason, Qi Leren felt a little tight in his chest.
A few hours ago, he was still immersed in the joy and longing of seeing the destined person, but in the end, it was an unbearable farce.
He remembered that after it was all over, they said goodbye on the steel bridge in the sunset.
He goes to one side, he goes to the other.
Qi Leren thought that he would not look back, but when the gentle sunset shone on his face and the gentle evening wind blew in the ends of his hair, the memories came back to his mind along with the rising and falling tides. In the middle, he couldn't help but stopped and turned around—
He saw his back, moved forward, and stopped for him.
He tried to find the shadow of "her" from the back, but it was full of strangeness.
Unspeakable melancholy emerged in his heart, he lowered his eyes and walked forward alone.
In the center of the steel bridge, a couple was proposing to marriage, and the crowd was surging, shouting "marry him". Qi Leren, who had already gone far, turned his head again, and his sight passed through the vast sea of people. He saw Ning Zhou on the other side of the bridge. He was also attracted by the sound and stopped to look here.
At such a long distance, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and even his figure was blurred, but when this person came and went, he seemed to see "her" again, so familiar, yet so far away.
At that moment his eyes were wet.
The lively crowd was still chanting "marry him". The girl with a sweet face put on a ring and threw herself into her boyfriend's arms with a smile. The two kissed in the sunset, arousing cheers and applause.
The Qi Le people turned back lonely and left the steel bridge.
On the way out of Dr. Lu's house, Qi Leren was still haunted by this feeling of loss. Under the sunset that never set, he felt melancholy, and he walked all the way and unknowingly came to the coast where he found Chen Baiqi.
Seagulls prey on the coast in twos and threes, sometimes making high-pitched chirping sounds. Qi Leren walked along the sea breeze, and saw Chen Baiqi blowing on the coast from a distance. This time, her sister did not pick up shells on the beach. , She was alone, with a cigarette between her fingers, watching the sunset quietly.
"Yo, it's you, it seems that you survived, not bad." Chen Baiqi smiled casually at him.
The anger that Qi Leren finally calmed down rushed up again, and he asked resentfully: "Why did you say that Ning Zhou is a cold beauty?"
Chen Baiqi blinked: "Is he not cold? Isn't he beautiful?"
"But he's a man..." Qi Leren complained bitterly.
"Obvious." Chen Baiqi said.
Qi Le people don't know how to complain anymore.
But Chen Baiqi's keenness made her not miss the strangeness of Qi Leren. She raised her eyebrows with interest: "It seems that you treat him as a woman?"
"...It's not my eyes. The male player who participated in the witch sacrifice mission was physically active as a woman during the mission." Qi Leren covered his forehead, his tone suddenly unbearable.
"Wow, this is really exciting." Chen Baiqi said in a perfect tone of praise, "Let's talk about what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Qi Leren refused. It's one thing to complain about Dr. Lu, and it's another thing to talk to Chen Baiqi.
"This is also considered mission information. I will pay for it." Chen Baiqi raised his slender eyebrows and said.
Qi Leren looked at his 55 days and 18 hours of survival, and succumbed to the temptation of Chen Baiqi: "Okay, I will briefly talk about the task situation, and I will not talk about other irrelevant content..."
After half an hour.
After learning the news of Lu Youxin's death, Chen Baiqi looked at Qi Leren with a heavy face, and Qi Leren lay on the bank: "I have finished."
"He's crazy, the Holy See..." Chen Baiqi murmured, her back turned to the setting sun, her backlit face was full of dignified expressions.
Chen Baiqi's voice was too soft, and Qi Leren didn't hear it and asked, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." Chen Baiqi said coldly.
The shortened version of the story obviously couldn't convince Chen Baiqi. She pointedly asked the most crucial question: "That is to say, when you were in the copy, you actually fell in love, right?"
"It's just a little favor." Qi Leren quibble.
Chen Baiqi gave him a roll of eyes: "Young man, lying in front of me won't work. Are you underestimating the professionalism of an intelligence officer?"
Qi Le people began to play dead.
"However, the information on the Demon King of Fraud is very good. At present, our understanding of it is very limited. In contrast, 'power' and 'killing' are much more publicized. There is also news of Lu Youxin's death, forget it... The time contract will be published tomorrow. I'll have someone deliver it to you, remember to sign for it, I'm going to see Ning Zhou's jokes, see you later." Chen Baiqi didn't bother to ask further, waved his hands and left.
Qi Leren watched her leave and continued to stay at the beach for a while. The land part of Dusk Township, which was only separated from Sunset Island by the sea, was shrouded in a layer of golden light.
He sighed again, and finally remembered his first love that had withered before it even started, and set foot on the way home.
