A Race to (Be) The Top

Li Zheng was walking alone on the campus of Yanda University, and he was accustomed to the sight cast from his surroundings, completely ignoring them.

Until bumping into a familiar face head-on, the probability of meeting someone who knows him and he knows here is so small that it makes people feel unbelievable.

After Ji Meng recognized this person, he showed such an unbelievable expression:

"... Li Zheng?"

Li Zheng raised his eyelids lightly, and his eyes met, it was considered as a greeting.

The relationship between them online is only average, and there is no need to act as an excited encounter with netizens offline.

"Why are you here?"

In Ji Meng's opinion, he doesn't look like a student. In the game, it's okay to wear white clothes, but in reality, he also needs a white trench coat. Is this a COS psychiatrist?

"Can't I come?" Li Zheng asked back.

"Are you a student here too?"

Li Zheng paused, and the corners of his mouth raised imperceptibly: "No, I'm here to find my...brother."

Li Zong's younger brother is a student of Yan University?

Ji Meng frowned, wondering if his younger brother looked like him.If so, the recognition should be quite high.

His phone vibrated, and when he looked down, Li Zheng walked past him lightly.

"Goodbye."

Ji Meng is a blind man, if he can't recognize him, he can't recognize him. He has no obligation to remind him.

The message was from Chang Huanxi, and the content was a photo.

Followed by a message.

Chang Huanxi: Brother!Isn't this the Great God of Li Zheng?Someone photographed him in our school, and he has already posted on the confession wall!

What a fuss, Ji Meng thought.

Ji Meng: I just saw him on the road.He came to find his brother.

Chang Huanxi: Yes!What a coincidence!

Chang Huanxi: The confession wall has blown up!They are asking for all his information.I thought the face of the Great God was pinched by myself, but I didn't expect him to look like this in real life!

Chang Huanxi: Do you think I want to break the news and promote your game?

The school confession that Chang Huanxi said, Qiang Ji Meng also knew that he and Chang Huanxi were both on the list on the first day of the journal.

In 2415, plastic surgery technology can reach the level of head replacement, and human beings still only look at faces superficially.

In this regard, Ji Meng's attitude is undoubtedly contemptuous.Besides his face, what other advantages does Li Zheng have?

Ji Meng: Boring.

Chang Huanxi: Hey, hey.

Chang Huanxi missed the opportunity to break the news when he posted the news. There are also players of "Elf Contract" in Yandali. If they recognize Ji Meng, they also recognize Li Zheng.

Within a short while, these enthusiastic players had popularized Xinshan, "Elf Contract", Lizheng, and the meaning of the ring on his hand, and the well-known Xinshan Prince Ji was naturally not spared.

Xinshan's online shopping mall suddenly had a large order, and the delivery address was the same place.

Ling Xiaolu, who is ignorant of the external turmoil and seems to be living in another world, came out of the drink shop later than Li Zheng. One second he was still seriously thinking about the huge amount of information brought by Li Zheng, and the next second he saw Ji Meng Walking towards him from a few meters away, he waved happily.

"Student! What a coincidence!"

Ji Meng paused, for some reason, he remembered the address Ling Xiaolu subconsciously called yesterday.

Maybe I misunderstood that I don't like being called "friend", and the other party deliberately changed the address to "classmate".

He just accidentally glanced at the signboard of the drink shop that Ling Xiaolu visited, and immediately heard him ask, "Do you want to eat? The ice cream is pretty good."

Ji Meng didn't like sweets, so he shook his head: "I'll go back to the dormitory."

"I'm going back to the dormitory too!"

The two came together naturally.

"Why did you leave alone yesterday, don't you like watching the concert?"

"Well," Ji Meng admitted, "I don't like noisy places."

He paused slightly: "Thank you yesterday."

"Huh? What?"

"The Leilulu matter."

"That, it's a trivial matter. I also want to thank Lei Lulu, without him leading the way, I wouldn't be able to get a photo with Peach Jam."

Ling Xiaolu was still happy when he thought about it: "I have been in love with Shiyin girls for three years, and I have been chasing them since freshman year of high school. Yesterday was the first time I had such close encounters. They are [-] times cuter than they look on the screen. , I even talked to Peach Butter!"

He couldn't help dancing: "The choreography of their team is very good. Both boys and girls can dance. I have practiced almost every part!"

After all, it doesn't matter that this is a campus full of people coming and going, a live performance of the Shiyin Girls Group's signature dance steps attracted passers-by to smile and look sideways.

"Can you still dance?" Ji Meng asked.

Ling Xiaolu almost stumbled himself: "Amateur, jumping and playing, hehe."

Ji Meng's dormitory arrived first, and Ling Xiaolu made an excuse to create a chance to meet next time.

"By the way, Leilulu and I hit it off right away, can I still go see it?"

Ji Meng suddenly stopped and didn't answer.

"Is it not possible?" Ling Xiaolu was a little worried.

"...No," Ji Meng unconsciously put his ring-wearing left hand into his pocket, pretending to be nonchalant, "You can go whenever you want."

Ling Xiaolu felt relieved, and waved at him happily: "Then I'm leaving, bye!"

Ji Meng stood where he was, watching Ling Xiaolu bouncing away until the other party's back disappeared around the corner, then suddenly turned around and strode towards the dormitory building.

Back in his room, he quickly activated the ring, logged into the game, and added Ling Xiaolu to the permanent access list.

He only gave the other party a single access right yesterday, if Ling Xiaolu goes online again, he will find himself rejected.Oddly enough, Ji Meng didn't want Ling Xiaolu to find out about it.

After exiting the game, Ji Meng calmed down for a moment, unable to give a reasonable explanation for his abnormal behavior, he simply stopped thinking about it, and started a "computer" with a special shape.

On the vertical screen, an unfinished three-dimensional character model gradually appeared...

It has been three hours since Ling Xiaolu entered the game again, but Ji Meng is not online, which shows that his last login time was three hours ago.

As expected of a holographic game, the mansion that was horribly destroyed by Lei Lulu yesterday was restored to its original appearance overnight, the garden was also renovated, Deerby's room was almost unchanged, and the statue of the unknown soldier was completely put back to its original place.

Lei Lulu was very happy to see him online, and pestered him to eat. Unfortunately, when Ling Xiaolu tried to open the door of the cabinet containing pet food, he found that his account did not have permission.

"I'm sorry," Ling Xiaolu spread his hands at the expectant babies apologetically, "The relationship with your master is not good enough, and I can't open this either."

"Ahh!" Lei Lulu stomped his feet angrily, put on a bad face, and made a few more movements of waving the big sword.

"Uh, you want to say...Ji Meng?"

Lei Lulu nodded, closed his eyes again, and groped forward with his short hands.

Ling Xiaolu guessed wildly: "Ji Meng...can't see, Ji Meng...a blind man touches an elephant...Ji Meng is blind! You say Ji Meng is blind!"

Lei Lulu immediately opened his eyes and gave him his only thumbs up.

"Hahahaha, that's too much..."

Ling Xiaolu quarreled with the babies and was suddenly interrupted by a female voice.

"Who are you? Why are you at Ji Xiaomeng's house?"

With this familiar name, Ling Xiaolu knew who it was without looking back.

He hurriedly got up from the ground, and put on an obedient and flattering expression when facing the slightly sullen Chu Ya.

"Hi, I'm Ji Meng's classmate."

Chu Ya missed yesterday's concert turmoil, and accidentally clicked on the list of family members, only to find out that a newcomer had joined.

But the strange thing is that the newcomer's location is displayed in Dongye, but Ji Meng himself is not online.

She thought it was because she thought too much, but after she came, this newcomer of unknown origin was not only really at Ji Meng's house, but also rolled on the ground with his beloved babies, who seemed to be familiar with each other.

"Student?" Chu Ya frowned, "I just met you?"

"Correct."

"Is it so familiar when we just met? He let you come in and out of his house casually?"

"We hit it off." He was full of affection for Chu Ya, but Chu Ya was hostile to him. "I think you, Miss Sister, also hit it off. Shall we get to know each other?"

It's not Chuya's illusion. Although I can't remember Lubi's appearance, the boy in front of me seems to have the same temperament as Lubi.

If it was this reason that made Ji Meng treat him differently, that would be too ridiculous.

"Frivolous!" Chu Ya frowned, "Who is attracted to you? You just look a little like someone, and Ji Xiaomeng probably only cares about you because of this!"

"Pfft," Ling Xiaolu began to tease her, "You can't blame me for having an innate advantage in appearance, it means that Ji Meng likes my type."

Chu Ya was almost unable to refute for a while: "Then, what's the use of that? Ji Xiaomeng has someone he likes... I have a partner, you are a step late!"

"Really? Didn't I hear what he said?"

"Who would talk about such a thing as soon as we met!"

"You."

"You...!" Chu Ya Xing's eyes widened.

"Just kidding, kidding," Ling Xiaolu immediately gave in, "I just think you're cute, to tease you."

"Why are you so frivolous? Do you like boys or girls?"

"I like it..." Ling Xiaolu paused, "It depends on whoever you meet, who can tell."

Because of the sincerity of this sentence, Chu Ya put away some of her hostility, but remained vigilant.

"I don't care if you like boys or girls, but you can't play Ji Xiaomeng's mind."

"Why?" Ling Xiaolu asked knowingly, "I heard from Chang Huanxi that he is single, why can't I pursue him?"

This is not a lie, Chang Huanxi told Ling Xiaolu himself that Ji Meng had just lost his love, and the person who lost his love is not single, what is it?

Chu Ya contemptuously said: "Do you believe Xi'er's words? The person Ji Xiaomeng likes just left for a while, and you don't want to be a temporary substitute, do you? If you still don't give up, I can show you the evidence."

Ling Xiaolu's heart moved: "What evidence?"

"Ji Xiaomeng's live confession video!"

Confession and live broadcast?

Ling Xiaolu had no idea that he forgot to turn off the live broadcast, and thought it was Ji Meng's unusually high-profile move.

"Really?" Ling Xiaolu forced his composure, "Let me see."

Just watch!Chu Ya put the precious video that he had replayed countless times on the holographic screen, and explained with a gloomy face.

"Don't look at there is only one person in the picture, there is a reason for that!..."

Ling Xiaolu didn't listen at all, his eyes were fixed on the screen.

On the screen, Ji Meng's eyes were red, and he shouted with all his strength, piercing the sky with the sound of fireworks:

——I also tried my best to not stop you at the last second when you teleported away!

—but now I regret it!

——I don't care if you have a green name or a pink name

- I don't care if you are human or AI

——Because I like you!

Ling Xiaolu was disconnected because his collar fell off, but there was a two-second delay in the online "Lubi".

It is precisely because of the short delay of these two seconds that Ling Xiaolu thought that the moment he had missed forever appeared in front of him completely.

No matter how many times I watch this scene, Chu Ya's nose gets sore.

Not wanting to be laughed at by the newcomer, she abruptly turned away and swallowed the bitterness that surged up.

"Now you know I didn't lie to you," Chu Ya resumed her nonchalant appearance, "If you don't want to waste your efforts, then don't—"

The voice was cut off.

Xu felt something strange, Ling Xiaolu turned his head mechanically.

The tit-for-tat momentum of the first buds was suddenly extinguished.

"Why are you crying?"

After she asked such a question, Ling Xiaolu also felt the coolness coming from his cheeks.

"Ahaha," he awkwardly reached out and erased randomly, "The impact of the picture is a bit strong, I couldn't hold back."

He is extremely sincere: "Thank you for showing me this, he is very brave, I am very touched."

Seeing Ling Xiaolu like this, Chu Ya suddenly couldn't bear it, as if she was a bad witch in a fairy tale.

"Do you really like Ji Xiaomeng so much? But you just met him. Could it be that you fell in love with him at first sight?"

"Yes," Ling Xiaolu admitted, "but it seems that he has a deep love for someone, I seem to have no chance hahahaha..."

The more he forced himself to smile, the more Chu Ya blamed himself.

"Don't be too sad, there are so many good men in the world."

"you're right."

A third voice cut in: "What are you doing?"

When Chu Ya heard this voice, he forked off the holographic screen at the speed of light: "No, we didn't do anything."

Ji Meng looked suspiciously at her: "This is my classmate from the same school, you seem to know each other already."

Chu Ya felt guilty, not only did she get to know him, but she also ruthlessly killed the budding emotion towards Ji Meng from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah...we had a good chat..."

Ling Xiaolu also nodded: "Young lady is explaining game knowledge to me."

Chu Ya gave him a grateful look.

"You haven't been here these days, and so have Xi'er and Xiao Nanxun. They don't know where they have gone."

Ji Meng opened the cabinet door to feed the baby.

"I'm busy at the beginning of school, and I don't have much time to go online." He said this emotionally, but Chu Ya knew that being busy was an excuse.

Fortunately, the babies swept away the loss of the day before, and all of them ate happily.He didn't think it was Ling Xiaolu's reason for beating Ji Meng to death, he thought they had recovered from the sorrow of parting.

After all, it is a virtual pet with limited intelligence level, far inferior to human beings in terms of long-term affection.

Ji Meng was silent, somewhat envious of their carefreeness.

"Ah, Ji Xiaomeng, why don't the family organize a boss tonight?"

Chu Ya didn't want him to forget Lubi so quickly, but she also didn't want to see him depressed.

"You guys play, I won't participate."

Bud is not without worries.

Ji Meng glanced at Ling Xiaolu: "If it's convenient, bring more newcomers."

Back then Lubi was brought by him himself, Ling Xiaolu pondered that there was quite a big difference in the treatment.

But it was good to think of him.

Ji Meng's bond with the game faded, and he would go offline after feeding the pets routinely.

"Wait," Ling Xiaolu stopped him, "Are you going to the cafeteria to eat at night?"

Ji Meng paused: "Go, what's the matter?"

"Chang Huanxi has an appointment with that girl, I don't want to eat alone."

First bud: ?

Ling Xiaolu "seeed" the void question mark popping up above her head, and winked at her.

Ji Meng hesitated: "...OK."

First bud: ? ? ?

Ling Xiaolu suppressed a smile: "Then let's go early, there are few people. What do you eat?"

"casual."

"I can do anything except buns!"

The two of them left the line at the same time while talking, leaving Chuya alone, with his hips crossed, facing the sleeping babies who were eating their bellies round all over the floor, not knowing whether to be angry, angry, or angry. Should be angry... After a long while, I finally choked out a word:

"what!"

What did you say that Ji Meng was so devoted to him that he had no chance?

There are so many good men in the world, are you right?

Liar!
