Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The weather is getting warmer, and someone set up a barbecue grill at the entrance of the community.

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, there were still two tables of guests drinking and chatting.

"It's quite lively."

Liu Yunmeng walked slowly forward in the light cast by the street lamp, like a child.

Bai Meng walked on the outside very naturally, feeling very surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that she had such a childish side.

The car was parked on the side of the road a few hundred meters away. Liu Yunmeng wanted to get off for a walk, and the two of them walked all the way to the entrance of the community.

After walking a few dozen meters, Liu Yunmeng stopped and said reluctantly, "This road is too short."

Bai Meng nodded. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy such quiet and relaxing time, and he was reluctant to leave.

But time will not stop for one person, there will always be a time when the song ends and people go their separate ways.

"Sister Liu, it's getting late. Let me take you back to the car."

With a bright smile on his face, Liu Yunmeng suddenly approached Bai Meng and hugged him with open arms.

Bai Meng suddenly froze, his panicked hands not knowing where to put them, at a loss as to what to do.

At the same time, a pleasant fragrance instantly penetrated into the nose, and the ears quickly turned red.

Liu Yunmeng let go of Bai Meng, looked at him with amusement, raised his hand to scratch his nose, and said with a smile: "You are still a little boy, so easily shy."

Bai Meng coughed dryly and wanted to explain himself.

Then Liu Yunmeng gestured his height and said with a sly smile: "Xiaobai, are you 1.7 meters tall?"

"Well, exactly 1.7 meters." Bai Meng rubbed his nose and said guiltily.

Liu Yunmeng pressed on, smiling maliciously, "Really? Don't lie to me, sister."

"cough."

Bai Meng felt his throat was a little dry, but he still said stubbornly: "Really!"

Liu Yunmeng looked at the stubborn Bai Meng with amusement, raised her hand and ruffled his short hair, and said, "Okay, sister believes it."

In all these years, there has never been a moment as relaxing as tonight.

I raised my wrist to check the time. It was indeed very late and I had very important things to do tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunmeng said, "I'll have someone pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Can you get up?"

Bai Meng nodded: "8 o'clock in the morning, no problem."

Then he asked, "How long will it take?"

Bai Meng wanted to know if he would still have time to work after helping out.

Liu Yunmeng raised the corner of his mouth: "It won't take long, it will be very quick, but you have to queue up, you can take a day off tomorrow."

If you queue, the time is uncertain, but it doesn’t matter. If you come back early, you can still do crowdsourcing.

Bai Meng nodded and said it was no problem. He just needed to send a message to the captain and tell him that he had something to say.

"Well, that's all. Let's go."

Liu Yunmeng walked back with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

Bai Meng quickly caught up and continued walking on the outside. This was a habit she developed when she was taking care of her younger sister.

Back in the car, Liu Yunmeng lowered the window and said, "By the way, remember to bring your ID tomorrow."

Why would I need my ID card? Bai Meng looked puzzled and was about to ask.

Liu Yunmeng smiled, his eyes shining like stars, started the car and drove away, not giving Bai Meng a chance to ask any questions.

Looking at the receding taillights, Bai Meng sighed, turned and walked towards the rental house.

The street lights emit warm light, like guardians in the dark.

The light shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground.

These light and shadows change with the swaying of the leaves, sometimes dense, sometimes sparse.

Bai Meng stepped on the light and shadows on the ground, as if she was dancing a graceful dance.

Cheerful, joyful, and relaxed.

"No wonder she was like that just now!"

In this lonely and quiet street, Bai Meng was having a lot of fun playing alone.

Bai Meng didn't stop until he reached the gate of the community. He pretended nothing had happened and walked in briskly.

Shortly after Bai Meng left, Qi Wei walked out of the shadows holding her cell phone.

She frowned and dragged the video to the moment when Liu Yunmeng hugged Bai Meng.

Staring at the smile on Liu Yunmeng's face, my mood became increasingly heavy.

"Will the young lady be trapped?"

Thinking of Liu Yunmeng's previous style of doing things, Qi Wei shook her head violently.

Probably not!

Just then, a new message popped up on the phone.

"Did he go back?"

Qi Wei's eyes were shocked, and she replied, "I'm going back."

"Well, send me the video."

"Yes."

Putting down her phone, Qi Wei took one last look at the dark neighborhood, then turned and left.

After returning to the rental house, Bai Meng washed up first.

Then he sent a message to the captain to ask for leave, turned off the lights, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Soon, soft snoring sounds were heard in the room.

The phone that was charging on the table suddenly lit up and went out without making any sound.

The curtains are gently lifted, and the quiet and gentle night breeze blows into the room, like a lover's tender hand brushing across the face, taking away the day's fatigue.

A dreamless night.

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, Bai Meng was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom in a daze.

When he entered, he was bleary-eyed and looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

After coming out, I felt refreshed and full of energy and vigor.

Bai Meng shook his wet hair, picked up his mobile phone from the table, first looked at the time, and then saw several unread messages.

The latest message came from the captain, who must have just woken up. The message was very brief, agreeing to his request for leave.

Then it was Sister Yun and Brother Qiang who asked Bai Meng to have breakfast with them. They sent the message just a little earlier than the captain.

The last message was actually sent by Liu Yunmeng, and it was sent not long after I went to bed.

Bai Meng clicked on the message.

"I'll ask Xiaowei to pick you up at 6 a.m., remember to get up early."

So early?

What exactly do you want me to help with?

Bai Meng scratched his head in confusion.

Then he replied to Sister Yun and Brother Qiang, saying, "I have something to do today, so I won't be having breakfast."

After sending the message, Bai Meng put down his phone and started cleaning the house and changing clothes.

Ten minutes later, Bai Meng took his keys, cell phone and ID and left the rental house.

When he came downstairs, Bai Meng remembered that his mount was still parked at the station.

"When I come back, I have to go to the station to ride the bike."

Looking up at the tree, I saw a group of magpies standing on the branches and chirping.

"It looks like today is another auspicious day!"

Bai Meng was in a good mood and walked briskly towards the outside of the community in the morning light.

Every day, there are people riding tricycles selling breakfast at the entrance of the community.

Originally, Bai Meng wanted to buy two buns to fill his stomach.

As soon as I left the community, I saw a black car parked on the side of the road.

A familiar-looking woman was standing next to the car, looking out of place in this place.

Seeing Bai Meng coming out, Qi Wei opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation, with no expression on her lightly made-up face.

It was the first time that Bai Meng enjoyed such treatment. She said thank you awkwardly and got into the car.

As the car door closed, blocking out the outside world, Bai Meng finally relaxed a little.

As soon as Qi Wei sat in the passenger seat, the car started immediately and drove onto the road.

Sitting in the soft and comfortable seat, Bai Meng looked at the interior somewhat awkwardly.

This car has great sound insulation, it doesn’t shake even when going over speed bumps, and it’s very comfortable to sit in.

It’s much more comfortable than the sports car yesterday. I don’t understand why Liu Yunmeng always drives it, Bai Meng thought to himself.

Looking at the gradually unfamiliar streets outside the car window, Bai Meng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Well, where are we going?"

Qi Wei didn't even turn her head and said in a cold voice: "Go to the image design studio."

"Image design studio?" Bai Meng heard it for the first time and had no idea what it was.

Qi Wei sighed in her heart and explained, "It's a place where people's looks are designed."

"Oh!"

Now Bai Meng understood.

Then a bigger question arose in my mind: I'm just doing you a favor, do you really need to change your look?
