Quadruple split

"What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaoge looked uneasily at Mo Tan, whose expression suddenly stiffened, and asked worriedly: "Did the system prompt you that you are in poor health and should log off? I remember Xiaodao... uh, my sister told me The game cabin has this function.”

"really."

Although he would not be punished by [Chivalry and Honesty] in public space, Mo Tan still nodded and told the truth this time. After all, from an objective point of view, he did hear the system prompts, including the suggestion that he immediately Off the line on this.

Ji Xiaoge naturally misunderstood the meaning, and immediately believed that his suspicion that "Mo was ill" was confirmed. He immediately stood up in a hurry, flapped his wings, and leaned over to give Mo Tan a gentle kiss. With a headbutt, he pressed the latter's forehead and said with a slightly red face: "Get off the line and take your temperature!"

"Aren't you already taking the test?"

Looking at the girl's rosy cheeks, which were so close, Mo Tan finally forgot the bitter sorrow in his heart at this moment, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart: "The temperature seems to be quite high."

"Ah? What's so high...ah!"

It took him half a word to realize that the two of them were currently in a state where they could directly measure each other's body temperature with their brains (foreheads). Ji Xiaoge jumped on the spot, stretched out his hand and flicked Mo Tan's head, and said angrily: " I think you’re still not feeling bad enough!”

The latter nodded immediately and smiled: "Yes, I think I am in good condition."

"Stop coming! Go and have a good rest!"

Ji Xiaoge waved his non-threatening little fist and said fiercely: "Otherwise, my little ancestor wants you to look good!"

"Okay, okay~"

Mo Tan raised his hands in surrender and said meekly: "It all depends on my little ancestor."

"Then I'll go to the public space to watch the game. It's lively there."

Lujiang, who almost died from exhaustion next to him, also stood up at the right time, and simply and directly expressed his desire to act alone as soon as possible for relief: "I didn't watch all the games in the past few days, and it happened that the guys from the Destruction King agreed I’ll take a good rest today and watch the finals in a down-to-earth manner.”

"Okay, go ahead."

Ji Xiaoge said without looking back, then stood on tiptoe and pinched Mo Tan's cheek, and said with a smile: "I will log off in a while to confirm your situation, and then go find friends to watch the game together. Anyway, I have been eliminated. There’s no need to avoid suspicion anymore.”

Mo Tan nodded lightly and gave the other party a reassuring smile: "Okay."

"Then I'll log off and wait for your email!"

Ji Xiaoge fluttered his wings twice, then coughed slightly and asked in a low voice: "Or... if someone really wants my mobile phone number, considering that you are sick right now, I can't. Please be accommodating?”

Although he didn't add an 'A' in front of Yu Chen's remarks as obviously as he did when he was in an absolutely neutral personality, Mo Tan still 'inadvertently' memorized Ji Xiaoge's contact information, so much so that he really wanted to contact her. It is completely possible to dial directly.

Of course, since 'Mo' has nothing to do with the 'Mo Tan' in reality, it is naturally impossible for him to directly say, 'I've memorized your mobile phone number a long time ago', so he can only choose to gently place his finger on the tip of the girl's nose. After scratching, he said helplessly: "Don't even think about it."

"whispering sound!"

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled his nose and feigned anger: "I'm just kidding! I won't let you get the contact information so easily!"

After saying that, the girl blushed and turned into a white light and disappeared instantly.

"Ahem, Brother Mo."

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jiang cleared his throat with a subtle expression, turned to Mo Tan and said sternly: "I think you and Sister Ye Ge are both talented and handsome, uh... uh... um..."

"Um."

Mo Tan, who was about to log off, saw that he didn't say anything further, so he asked very considerately: "So?"

"So what I mean is that you two must be very good people, and since you are both 'online dating', you must not have feelings for each other, right?"

Lu Jiang scratched his hair and said coquettishly: "I just think... if it keeps going like this, won't the progress be a little too slow? Well, although your current progress seems to be quite fast, look at what you just said, Brother Mo. With that attitude, I’m afraid I won’t want to interact with Sister Yege outside the game in the short term. Is this really good?”

Mo Tan was silent for about a second, then said nonchalantly: "This is reasonable."

"I don't think there's anything reasonable about it. I didn't ask you to establish a relationship offline, but I think Sister Ye Ge, since it doesn't seem like a joke, then you must at least... synchronize and become ordinary friends in reality, right?"

Lujiang, who knew very well that he was meddling, but still couldn't help but want to worry, said with wandering eyes: "Let's just say, Brother Mo, since you definitely don't have no ideas at all, you won't really be willing to be in the game. You're like this 'playing around', and then at some point you slowly fade into a role like 'friend ABCD', right? Sister Yege is such a nice person, if you keep doing this, you won't be afraid..."

"Deer."

Mo Tan did not let Lu Jiang finish speaking, but interrupted him lightly and said softly: "You know people and faces, but you don't know the heart."

Lu Jiang was immediately stunned and said in astonishment: "Isn't it right? Brother Mo, don't tell me that it's because you doubt Sister Ye Ge's character. We have known each other for so long, and there must be a limit to our wild thoughts. Yes, Sister Ye Ge is really pretty, but whether you are concerned or confused or whatever, I will get angry when I hear such unreasonable speculation..."

"Is there a possibility that my phrase 'knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts' is not referring to Ye Ge."

Mo Tan turned around and smiled at the beautiful young girl who was trying her best to defend Ji Xiaoge, and smiled: "But me?"

Lujiang: "...clam?!"

"All in all, on the issue of Sister Ye Ge, my views are actually no different from yours."

Mo Tan raised his hand and touched his forehead, which seemed to still have the warmth of someone, and said quietly from an angle where Lu Jiang couldn't see his expression: "Maybe she has some shortcomings, but whether it is character or character, Ye Ge is the best." A rare good girl.”

"Then how did you-"

"I have my own considerations."

"Don't you like Sister Ye Ge and are you just hanging out with her for fun?"

"If that's the case, things would be easier."

"I don't understand, Brother Mo."

"What a coincidence, let alone you, even I, the client, don't understand."

"?"

"In the game, please Xiaolu, please help us keep it a secret."

"Oh, don't worry about this. I won't tell you. But if Lao Jia and Yaya find out by themselves, there's nothing they can do. After all, Brother Mo, Sister Yege can't really hide her thoughts. ”

"I know, it's okay."

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I'll log off first. Yege is still waiting for my email."

"Ah, Brother Mo, wait a moment."

"Okay, you say."

"You just said that you... know people, know faces, but don't know hearts. You won't hurt Sister Ye Ge one day, right? You certainly won't, right?"

"..."

"Brother Mo?"

"I have no idea."

"ah……"

Looking at Mo Tan, who turned into white light and disappeared on the spot after leaving his last words, Lu Jiang froze in place in a daze. After a while, he sighed deeply with a grimace and a tangled look on his face. Falling down and rolling around on the carpet——

"Dating is so troublesome! Just watching other people fall in love is so troublesome!!"

…

[You have actively disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect? 】

"Not even..."

【Do you want to execute the wake-up procedure? 】

"implement."

[Received, it is October 7, 2049, 23:17, you will wake up in one minute]

"hurry up."

[Open your eyes. 】

…

City B, Dexin District, Motan's apartment

"call."

Opening the hatch cover from the inside, Mo Tan stood up and walked to the computer after breathing a sigh of relief. While starting it up, he turned on the [High Efficiency Working Mode], and after the 0.5-second boot process was completed, he quickly gestured The command used an encrypted link to open a backup mailbox, and I saw three unread emails:

[20423:15:22] "Untitled": Hehe~ I came out. I just took a peek at my sister's sleeping face (playing innocently in the game cabin should be considered sleeping), it's so cute! I feel like I’ve earned it!

【20423:15:57】《Where are the people?》: Where are the people? Where are the people?—! !

[20423:16:34] "Are you okay?": I'm a little worried. Are you really okay? where are you? Did it rain heavily during the day? Why are you getting wet? Did you take your temperature obediently? If you see it, please reply to me first.

"..."

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Mo Tan shook his head gently. Just as he was about to edit the email, he saw another window pop up on the screen. It was Ji Xiaoge's fourth email.

The content is simple and direct——

[20423:17:49] "Untitled": I will miss you.

"..."

Mo Tan pursed his lips, and then started typing on the editing page at a very fast speed: "Sorry, I just logged into the mailbox and took a quick temperature check. I feel like I may have a low fever. It should be because I didn't wipe my hair clean after I came back." Because I went directly to the game cabin, I had just taken medicine. I was probably going to feel sleepy after the medicine took effect, so I planned to go to bed and lie down for a while. ’

Complete the editing, send it, turn around and walk to the closet, take out the temperature measuring gun from the second drawer from the left, raise it to your forehead and pull the trigger. Not dead, sigh, look at the measurement result - 36.7°, put it back in the measurement Warm up your gun, go back to the computer, and click on the latest unread message (the time is omitted):

"Untitled": Why are you taking so long to reply? I'm so worried! ! !

"Have a good rest": Go and lie down on the bed. If you are sick, you should have a good rest. If you want to watch the game, just watch the live broadcast on your mobile phone. Hey, do you want me to chat with you? Just chat via email. Although it’s not as convenient as making a phone call, it seems quite romantic! Nowadays, very few people use emails to talk about love, but a few decades ago, the so-called love letters were just the carrier of emails!

"..."

Mo Tan raised the corner of his mouth and pursed it quickly, then replied very efficiently: ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a slight fever. Although I’m not as healthy as the half-dragon in the game, I still exercise regularly. No need to chat. Didn’t you say before that you would watch the game with your friends? It just so happens that I plan to sleep first and watch the video tomorrow. Just go online and watch the game (*▽*). ’

Half a minute later, Ji Xiaoge’s reply appeared in the center of the screen again——

《Then you have to be good》: You have to rest well if you say you have to rest well. You can’t secretly do something else, even if you are a busy person! PS: The emoticons are so cute! I picked two pages but didn’t find any good ones, so I gave up, [Emoji of a leaf with sunglasses on his hips]

“…”

Mo Tan was silent for a while, and did not reply to the text again. He just sent Ji Xiaoge an emoticon of a cat lying on the bed with a satisfied face.

Half a minute later, Mo Tan received another reply from the other party who didn't want him to wait any longer--

"Don't reply to this one": Then I will log in to the game as this person wishes. Well, let me explain in advance. The friends who watched the game with me have told you before that it is all the members of [Haunted Church]. Although there are two boys, one is Hei Fan you have met (sweet and sweet with Yu Chen (≧≦)), and the other is just an ordinary good friend (he was beaten to death by the girl he dumped before in the individual competition, and it feels like there may be a sequel!), in short, don't worry! Okay, now listen to the command of the little pigeon, march to the bed~ Walk! Go, go, go, go! Go to bed, think of me, close your eyes and go to sleep (no reply)!

"..."

So, Mo Tan turned off the computer, walked slowly back to his bedroom, lay on the bed and fell into a light sleep. He quickly fell into a light sleep within half a minute and woke up a minute later.

Because this was just a high-speed sleep and timed wake-up after professional self-training, and no additional elements were added, so his mental state did not change.

After completing the command of "close your eyes and sleep", Mo Tan left the bedroom directly and slowly made himself a cup of coffee.

In this process, he thought a lot, and finally emptied his mind and stopped thinking in the mist of cheap beans.

When he opened his eyes again, his will and spirit far beyond the toughness of steel appeared in the depths of his eyes again.

So far, the sequelae of the game just now on the mental level have finally disappeared completely, and the negative emotions that have seen the light of day for the first time in more than 20 years have been re-collected, locked, and suppressed in the depths of his thoughts.

The only difference compared to before is that this time, Mo Tan did not destroy the "key" that can match his keyhole on the mental level, but hid it together.

"That's good."

Mo Tan took a deep breath and looked at the innocent map he had drawn next to the computer. His eyes "inadvertently" swept across the southwestern continent circled by a red ballpoint pen.

"It's not time yet."

...
