A Race to (Be) The Top

Ji Meng stood alone outside the arena, quietly holding the phone.

Wave after wave of fierce applause came from the arena, and there were two worlds in stark contrast to those on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, he lowered his head: "Okay, I understand."

There was no emotion in his voice.

"Thank you for your hard work."

When Ji Meng returned to the auditorium, the atmosphere reached its peak. People cheered and filled the sky with fireworks and ribbons.

Ling Xiaolu shouted excitedly, and saw him grab him: "Why did you come back? You don't know what a wonderful game you missed. My master won! He is the champion!"

Ji Meng hooked his lips reluctantly: "That's pretty good."

Ling Xiaolu was so excited that he didn't notice what was wrong with him, and threw himself into a new round of carnival.

In the middle of the arena, Qing Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head angrily. Last year the person kneeling here was Li Zheng, this year it was her turn.

"Li Zheng, you want to win so much, don't you just want to know why your master retired? I can tell you right now."

Li Zheng was aloof, looking down at him quietly, his slender eyelashes covered his gaze, his lips pursed into a straight line without curvature and emotion.

Qingmei's resentful voice was amplified to the audience through the loudspeaker.

"Because I never intended to form a pact with Shiba, my goal has always been you! The reason why I deliberately approached him was because of my relationship with your master!"

Shi Ba, who was kneeling beside him, said angrily, "I knew it!"

"Shut up!" Qing Mei was rude to him, "You trash!"

Shiba wanted to refute but realized that he was kneeling here in a state of embarrassment, so he held his breath in his throat, unable to get up or down.

Qingmei turned her head, and recalled the year with anger: "I deliberately released the news that I was going to form a pact with Shiba, and then I went to your master. As long as she can persuade you to choose me, I will not pester her boyfriend. Who Thinking about it, in order not to embarrass you, she left that night, but I have to be responsible for the rumors I let out."

She was emotional: "You always wanted to know why your master left without saying goodbye, didn't you think that she left the game because of you?"

"Damn!" Ling Xiaolu in the auditorium couldn't stand listening any longer, and jumped up, "This person is so forceful, it messes with my master's mentality!"

Zhenjiu casually pushed the person back: "Don't be so excited, even a careless apprentice can't break the mentality of Lizheng, what effect can a few words of making trouble for a defeated general have?"

Ling Xiaolu: "Well... what you said makes sense, but I always feel that you are beating around the bush and scolding me, what's the matter?"

Li Zhengyun put his sword into his sleeve lightly, and the magnificent wind-breathing pterosaur circled around him for several times before disappearing into the sky, and the clear dragon chant resounded through the sky.

"Are you finished?" he said flatly.

Qing Mei didn't expect his reaction to be like this, and was forced to swallow more vicious words against him.

"You may have misunderstood." Li Zheng's voice is the most beautiful rhyme in winter, but it can reach Qingmei and Shiba's ears, it is like a ruthless snowstorm, "I want to win, I really want to win!" I know the ingredients of the reason why Master retired, but that is only a small part.

"I want to win, more just because I want to win you."

He turned and left, his clothes fluttering.

Qing Mei bit her lower lip, looked at his receding back, and suddenly shouted: "I lied to you!"

Li Zheng stopped.

"It's true that I went to your master, but she laughed at me severely! Your master's art of exasperating people is really in the same line!"

Ling Xiaolu complained in a low voice: "Whoever said it, I won't be very angry."

"The second day I went to see your master was the public beta test of "VR Onmyoji" online. She said that she had already bought the client and waited for this day. As for why she didn't tell you, it's probably because it's easy to play once you start playing. Forget everything. After all, you know better than anyone else that she is such a carefree girl. Isn't this truth ridiculous? Are you satisfied now!"

Li Zheng stood quietly on the spot, and after a while, the corners of his mouth raised indistinctly, forming a rare smile.

This smile was fleeting, and this time he walked away without staying.

"I love you! I love you!" Ling Xiaolu pushed Ji Meng excitedly, "My master smiled! Did you see that? He actually smiled!"

Ji Meng's depressed appearance did not show his excitement.

Ling Xiaolu finally sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Meng bowed his head and said nothing.

Ling Xiaolu held his hand with a tacit understanding, feeling the sadness coming from him.He said cautiously: "What happened?"

As soon as the words fell, he was pulled into Ji Meng's arms, and the strength of the other party almost crushed his bones.

Ling Xiaolu didn't know what happened, he could only feel Ji Meng's cheek buried deep in his neck.

Ji Qing, Chu Ya...all the people around cast surprised glances at them.The cheers on the scene were loud, but a small world was isolated here.

Ling Xiaolu didn't struggle, he patted the opponent's back lightly with his hands hesitantly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

……

Ling Xiaolu didn't visit the special disease center until three days later, and Ji Meng was worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it, so he insisted on procrastinating for three days before telling him the truth.

The glass room where Nan Xun lived has been cleaned, and the door is luxuriously open, after all it has been closed for so long.

Nan Xun's attending doctor accompanied the two in their final mourning.

"The earrings and collars that Nan Xun used during her lifetime are all her most cherished things. We put them in the designated place according to her last wish. Thank you Xinshan for providing this opportunity. I believe this is the happiest time for Nan Xun during his lifetime. For a while."

Ji Meng nodded, and silently embraced Ling Xiaolu, whose shoulders were twitching secretly.Ling Xiaolu turned his head away, not wanting Ji Meng to see his out of control side.

"Oh, yes," the attending doctor remembered again, "on the day Nan Xun left, a visitor named Dou came. He gave your name and asked to see Nan Xun no matter what. Nan Xun It was already dying, so we allowed it.”

Ling Xiaolu asked with red eyes: "Surname Dou? Dou Kou?"

"I don't know what his name is. Nan Xun was on the hospital bed, mouthed Dad through the glass, and then he cried."

Ling Xiaolu's eyes turned redder.

"Before he left, he donated a large amount of money to the center in the name of Nanxun, which was specially used for the research of Nanxun's case. I really hope that we can find out a treatment method as soon as possible, so that more children like Nanxun will not be sick. suffer from it.”

When Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng walked out of the research center, the sun was just right.Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes and took a deep breath facing the sun.

Ji Meng came around from behind him, with a calm tone: "The company has decided to make an NPC in the image of Nan Xun, and place it where she is offline, so that she will stay in her favorite Flower Valley forever."

Not only is it the place where Nan Xun goes offline, but also the place where Dou Kou can see it as soon as he goes online.

She will always be 16 years old and accompany her father who loved her so much.

Ling Xiaolu nodded vigorously.

"It's good to be alive." He took Ji Meng's hand, "It's good to know you."

Ji Meng turned his fingers tightly into his own palm: "Go back to school?"

Ling Xiaolu shook his head vigorously.

"Where do you want to go?"

Ling Xiaolu thought for a while: "Menluo Mountain."

No matter how the world is separated from old to old, how it flows, Menluo Mountain will always be green and lush.

The place where they jump off the cliff in the game actually exists, and it is also a bungee jumping site.

The staff warmly greeted them from a distance: "Two handsome guys, come to bungee jumping? It's exciting!"

Ling Xiaolu shook his head vigorously: "What's the point of jumping with a rope tied, I've done anything more exciting than this."

The staff replied with a smile: "Hey! I also liked to brag about this bull when I was alive!"

Ling Xiaolu smiled without saying a word, and dragged Ji Meng forward, searching in the thick jungle while walking.

"What are you looking for?" Ji Meng asked.

"Do you remember the stone on which we engraved our names?"

"of course I remember."

"Do you think he still exists in reality?"

Ji Meng pointed: "I remember it was over there."

Ling Xiaolu looked in the direction he pointed, and actually found the stone, which was exactly the same as what they saw in the game.

"There really are!" He jumped over excitedly, "It's not as good as us..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at the stone as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ji, Ji, Ji, Ji Meng." Ling Xiaolu rarely called his name, stammering.

"What's wrong?" Ji Meng went around behind him.

Ling Xiaolu grabbed him, his hands were cold and his face was bloodless: "Did I see a ghost? Are we really in the real world now?"

He pointed to the stone in front: "Why is there our name here? It's exactly the same as when we came last time?"

"Really?" Ji Meng looked calm, "Let me see...it seems to be true."

Ling Xiaolu:? ? ?

"Why are you so calm?"

"What expression should I make?"

Ling Xiaolu stared at him suspiciously: "...Are you kidding me?"

Ji Meng's serious face gradually lost its tension, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Ling Xiaolu stared dumbfounded: "You, you, are you really kidding me?!"

Ji Meng comforted him and hugged him: "I asked someone to export the game screen, and it was exactly the same."

"When did it happen?" Ling Xiaolu's eyes widened.

"Just a few days ago, I wanted to surprise you."

"This is obviously frightening! I was so scared that I almost doubted my life!" Ling Xiaolu was so angry that he punched him in the chest with his small fist.

Ji Meng suppressed a smile and lightly pecked his face, picked up a sharp stone, and added a heart symbol between the two names.

——Ji Meng (Heart) Lubi

"Is it a surprise now?"

Ling Xiaolu complained in his heart that this behavior was too bad, but it made him happy.

There may be no one in the world who would carefully create such a "surprise" for him.

He stood on tiptoe, and the lips and teeth of the two lovers under the shade of the tree were entangled, inseparable.

Just a kiss, Ling Xiaolu pulled Ji Meng back and started in the same direction.

"go!"

"Where to go?"

"Bungee jumping!"
