A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Until 07:30 in the evening, when the bar is officially locked, Gu Jinhong's working hours are not counted as past.

He said excuse me to the group of girls and left the place.The puppet who had been waiting by the side immediately ran over, took the guitar from him, and behaved like an ordinary gentle maid.

She's wearing a waiter's costume, with a skirt that's longer than usual to keep her joints from showing even when she's running, and her ruined face is covered by a cartoon-like mask.Gu Jinhong smiled at her, and she was immediately flattered, and quickly ran away holding the guitar.

"...So," he changed out of his shiny coat, came to the bar, and sat down beside Fang Shiqing, "Why did you come here all of a sudden today?"

There were only the two of them in front of the entire bar.Fang Shiqing smiled helplessly and said: "I didn't expect to become a person... I seem to have been let go."

He had been waiting here for more than an hour, and he didn't see Zhang Yu at all.

The location by the bar is really conspicuous. If the other party is present, you can definitely see it at a glance, and there is no possibility of missing it.That is, either she has come and hidden away, or she has not been here at all.

How is this going?Could it be that she planned to go to Qingliang Farm to cause damage at night, so she deliberately lured him away?

"..." Hearing this, Gu Jinhong's expression was slightly strange, "Why didn't you come here together this time like last time?"

"Ah? Oh," hearing him mention the last time, Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had stayed overnight with Xiao Fengdi during the puppet incident before, and realized that the other party had misunderstood, "I didn't want to be with... ...He. There was an NPC who asked me to meet, the girl who gave out rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival last time, do you remember?"

"...Oh, NPC, girl."

Gu Jinhong's expression became more subtle.Although he didn't say anything, the meaningful look in his eyes made Fang Shiqing feel a lot of pressure.

"It's not what you think—"

"It doesn't matter," Gu Jinhong said, "It's just a game anyway. As a player, it's not surprising that you want to develop a relationship with an NPC of the opposite sex in the game."

"No, really not!"

Fang Shiqing had a headache.If this is really an ordinary game, there may indeed be some players who would enjoy flirting with NPCs of the opposite sex.But, not to mention that he has turned into a mosquito coil now, but in such a realistic world, how can normal people play random teasing like playing video games?

"Sorry, I know. I was just joking," Gu Jinhong smiled lightly, "But you also have to think about it, anyone who finds out that you have an appointment with the opposite sex, and the two of you come here alone, will have the same reaction as I did just now. "

Fang Shiqing was startled, feeling that there seemed to be some deep meaning in his words.

He also said: "Insignificant people are fine. If you cause misunderstandings from people you value, I'm afraid it will not be beautiful."

This sentence is a bit preachy, but Gu Jinhong's tone is very gentle and non-aggressive, so it is not offensive.

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?Did he find something?Fang Shiqing's mood became extremely complicated.

—Probably not.He felt that he hid it quite well, and that kind of inappropriate feelings should not be noticed by anyone.

No matter what, he didn't dare to talk about this matter any further, so he quickly changed the subject, took out a bag of peaches and handed it to him: "By the way, this is for you."

Others have delivered it a few days ago, but this side has not had time to deliver it yet.

"Peach?" Gu Jinhong was pleasantly surprised, "Then I won't be polite. To tell you the truth, I like this very much."

He originally wanted to put away the whole bag, but he paused, leaving one in his hand, then turned around and waved to the doll girl standing on the other side of the bar.

He quietly handed her the plump, pink peach, and instructed in a low voice: "Remember to wash off the fluff on the surface before eating."

The puppet should never have seen Peach.She stared blankly for a while, then nodded vigorously, her delicate eyes curled up with a smile, as if she was very happy.

Fang Shiqing watched this scene from the side, feeling very strange.As Gu Jinhong said before, this doll relies on him wholeheartedly, just like a newborn to its parents.Facing this kind of object, even if she knows she is an inhuman alien or an NPC, it is inevitable that she will have a sense of responsibility.

"By the way," Gu Jinhong remembered something, turned around and said to him, "She already has a name, Gu Pan."

"..." It still has his surname, and it feels more like a little daughter and a cheap father.

■

Fang Shiqing waited until nine o'clock in the evening, but Zhang Yu never showed up, so he didn't want to wait any longer.

There are not many customers in the bar today, and the lounge area is even more empty than in the past.He found a corner and lay down, wrapped his coat around his body, couldn't help but speculate about Zhang Yu's purpose, and after thinking about it, he slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly it seemed that someone was calling him.

He opened his eyes bewilderedly.Zhang Yu was bending over to look at him, and when he woke up, he immediately showed a dazzling smile: "I'm here, brother Shiqing, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Fang Shiqing woke up suddenly: "You—"

"Hush," Zhang Yu put his finger to his lips, "Everyone is sleeping, let's talk over there."

Fang Shiqing was full of doubts.The door to the bar was locked from 07:30, and it was impossible for anyone to get in or out after that, so she was in before then?And then it has been hiding until now, only to pop up out of nowhere?

He followed Zhang Yu and left the rest area.It is also very quiet near the bar now, there are almost no customers who are still drinking, and most of the waiters are off work, only the bartender is still wiping the glasses.

They found seats and sat down, Fang Shiqing asked, "Why did you appear at this point?"

"I'm sorry, brother Shiqing," she stuck out her tongue, "I came this afternoon, I accidentally fell asleep in the room upstairs, and I just woke up."

In fact, Fang Shiqing didn't bother to delve into it, so he directly turned to the topic: "You called me today, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yu just pursed his lips and smiled.

"Don't be so anxious, Brother Shiqing. Shall we order something to drink?"

"...I don't want it." I had already drank a lot at night.

Zhang Yu stood up, went to order a cocktail by himself, and pushed it between the two of them.

"This is delicious, do you want to try it? You can drink the same cup with me."

She always had an indescribable smile on her face, which made Fang Shiqing a little uncomfortable to be honest.He was beginning to think that perhaps it had been a mistake to come here tonight.

"No, I don't drink."

"Oh, that's a pity."

She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Under the dim light, her delicate cheeks were immediately flushed a little.

The atmosphere at this moment was very strange, Fang Shiqing felt [-]% uncomfortable, and couldn't help frowning.

"Can you talk quickly? If it's okay, I'm going back to sleep."

"You are so indifferent..." Zhang Yu put down his wine glass, rested his chin on one hand, and asked with a smile, "Then I will ask directly. Brother Shiqing, what do you think of me?"

"………what?"

Never expecting such a development, Fang Shiqing was finally completely stunned.

"What do you think of me?" Zhang Yu asked repeatedly, her smile was very sweet.

"I think I'm pretty cute. Do you like me? If you like it, try dating me?"

Fuck, blah blah blah? !

Fang Shiqing was overwhelmed by countless lies, and he struggled to find his voice: "But, you haven't always liked... brother Xiao's?"

"I like him, this is not contradictory to my liking you," Zhang Yu said solemnly, "It's actually like this, I am a patient with multiple personalities, my main personality likes him, but my secondary personality is obsessed with you, now I'm here to ask questions on behalf of my personality. How about Brother Shiqing, you will definitely agree to me, right?"

Fang Shiqing didn't expect that it was the first time in his life that he received a confession from a girl under such circumstances.However, what the other party said was too nonsense, and after the initial sense of horror passed, he just couldn't stop laughing.

"Sorry, I really don't intend to agree." He said.

"Hey——! Why!" Zhang Yu exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't you think I'm cute? Anyway, we're both single, so come and try with me Brother Shiqing, anyway, you have a cute girlfriend like me No shame, right?"

Fang Shiqing didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so he said directly, "I have someone I like."

"Is the person you like as cute as me?" She asked persistently.

Cute... Fang Shiqing shivered and said, "I like men."

"Oh, man."

Zhang Yu put his other hand on his chin, and his smile suddenly became a little cold.

"Let me guess, the one you like...couldn't be someone we all know?"

Fang Shiqing suddenly felt very bad.Zhang Yu stared at him with no smile in his eyes: "The one you like is the one in the library—that is to say, you intend to become my enemy. Right, Brother Shi Qing?"

So she's waiting for me here!

Fang Shiqing's heart was once again screened by countless shit.So, her previous words were just for the final temptation!

He struggled to say something, but he knew very well in his heart that his first reaction had already exposed everything.

"I understand." Zhang Yu stood up after a while, this time she didn't even bother to maintain a smile on the surface.

"Since this is the case, there is no other way, Brother Shiqing. Love is a war, so be prepared, I will do my best to fight you to the death."

"Wait--"

Zhang Yu walked towards the stairs without looking back.Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't catch up to explain. He really didn't know what to explain, saying that he only planned to force his crush and didn't plan to fight for anything?

This kind of thing is embarrassing no matter how you say it, it looks like a cannon fodder female character in a teenage girl manga.

After being frozen in place for a while, he finally just sighed and returned to the rest area silently.In the second half of the night, he tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep until the sky turned bright; instead, he overslept, and was finally woken up by Gu Jinhong.

The time has pointed to seven o'clock in the morning.Fang Shiqing got up silently, now recalling the big play in the middle of the night yesterday, he felt quite unreal—isn't that too nonsense?Is it true that he is dreaming?

He asked Gu Jinhong: "Did you see that girl this morning? It's the one who made an appointment with me here...the one who gave out rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival."

"No," Gu Jinhong shook his head, "but it wasn't me who opened the door this morning, and I didn't pay attention. Did you see her last night?"

"I saw it, I saw it..." He remembered Zhang Yu's last whereabouts yesterday, "By the way, was there anyone on the second floor of your bar yesterday?"

There is a separate room on the second floor for guests to rest for an additional fee, so not many people use it.

Gu Jinhong helped him to ask the person on duty on the second floor last night, and learned that Zhang Yu had indeed lived in the room there yesterday afternoon.But now the house is empty, and no one knows when she left.

Fang Shiqing left the bar and returned to Qingliang Farm with a heavy heart.

He gradually came to his senses and felt that this matter seemed inexplicable, but it might not be that simple.After all, this is a game, and the various actions of NPCs are not out of their own will, but follow the action guidelines set by the system; it seems chaotic, but it must be guiding the entire direction of the game.

So, is there any deep meaning in Zhang Yu's behavior?

He feeds the animals as usual, and now, in addition to feeding chickens and sheep, he also has the new job of feeding koi.

When he came to the newly dug fish pond, Fang Shiqing found that a section of the mahogany fence was broken.

The fence in the game can be regarded as a consumable, and it has a certain probability of being damaged every day, especially after experiencing wind and rain.So he didn't pay much attention to it, he just wanted to go back later and do another section, and just put it together before tonight.

Just a few days after stocking, the koi in the water had grown up again, and they were fighting head to head for the fish feed he had sprinkled. It looked quite lively and interesting, which made Fang Shiqing feel a little more relaxed.

The surface of the water rippled slightly. He stared at it unconsciously for a few seconds, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

That feeling is a bit like heatstroke.He subconsciously squatted down, but couldn't take his eyes off the water.

His own face was projected on the water, smashed by the waves brought by the koi, and when he calmed down again, he turned into another figure.

That was projected deep in his heart, someone he longed for most but did not dare to ask for—

He couldn't take his eyes off the people in the water at all.Speaking of which, he rarely dares to stare at people for a long time. He used to think it was impolite, but later he was afraid of revealing his true thoughts; but now, he feels that he can watch it forever, forever, without arousing any resentment. And exclusion, will not end up with an embarrassing and ugly ending.

The people in the water also looked at him quietly.He actually had an illusion that the other party was facing him with the same mood; this thought squeezed out the last remaining thoughts in his mind, leaving only a single, inflated desire.

After an unknown amount of time, the other party seemed to call his name and extended his hand to him.

He also stretched out his hand out of nowhere.Fingers touched the cold liquid, but failed to grasp what he wanted to hold in his hand.The figure in the water was still watching him, so he stretched his arms further down and leaned out——

Just like that, face down, the whole person fell into the pool.
