The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

The management center on the edge of the forest.

Wu Xuechun in a suit and leather shoes stood on the porch, hung up another phone call, spoke a few words in English to the nervous white administrator standing by, and walked back into the house.

The wooden house was originally small, and the only sofa chair was occupied by a 1.9-meter tall man. As a result, the whole room was almost filled by him alone, which made it even more pitifully small visually.

Dajing was holding a large bag of potato chips, staring intently at the TV set on the coffee table in front of him.What was playing on the TV was an old-fashioned horror movie. The place where the story happened happened to be a vacation house in the woods. This would be happening until the murderer approached the heroine in the dark with a knife.He was very absorbed in watching, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were bulging, and he forgot to chew.

Wu Xuechun walked behind the sofa and patted his shoulder.

Dajing screamed "Wow", spilled potato chips all over the floor, jumped up and danced on the floor for a long time, only to catch his breath when he saw that it was his brother.

"It's you, you scared me to death." He complained, patting his chest.

Wu Xuechun was speechless: "Since you're so scared, why do you want to watch it?"

Dajing hugged the bag of potato chips tightly, and yelled dissatisfiedly: "Horror movies, of course, the more scared you are, the more you want to continue watching. Like Ah Chun, if you look at it and say it's fake, that's not fun."

"I've convinced you." Wu Xuechun understood his brother's temperament.You know, the number one boy who follows Xiang Hong has two hobbies on weekdays, watching horror movies and watching romance movies.The former screamed while watching, and the latter cried wet tissue while watching, no matter what the situation was, it was not commensurate with his tall figure and murderous face.

Right now, he is envious of Dajing's simple mind, who can still immerse himself in the plot of the movie at this juncture.Da Jing's eyes turned back to the TV, Wu Xuechun frowned, and looked out the window: "There is no news from the boss."

Dajing crunched the potato chips, and said vaguely: "The boss has said that he is going to go with that kid alone, and told us not to follow. I think he might be smart somewhere."

Wu Xuechun said in a low voice, "That should also keep in touch with us."

"Oh, you just love to worry about it, and you always frown and age quickly, you know?" Dajing patted his shoulder heavily with his big hand a few times, and stuffed a piece of potato chips into his mouth by the way, "The boss is a powerful person, you How would he bully that kid? Hahaha, I really want to see it, that silly kid has a goose-like face, the boss is too bad, he won't play with us..."

Wu Xuechun still frowned.

Drops of water dripped down from the window sill. It was already November, and a night rain passed, forcing out a bit of the coldness of late autumn.There was even a white mist on the windows.Sitting in the house and listening to the sound of the rain outside is a kind of enjoyment, but for people walking in the forest, it is not just as simple as the air is more fresh.

Everything in the backpack was prepared by Wu Xuechun himself. He knew very well that the dry food and equipment in the backpack were enough for a person to live in the wild for a week.The problem is not here.

Xiang Hong went out for a walk alone and never spent the night outside.Dajing may be confused, but Wu Xuechun remembers it clearly.Although I didn't tell him the whole story, the boss never liked the dark night.Even when going to sleep at night, that person likes to leave a small lamp by the bed.

Therefore, it was absolutely unusual for Xiang Hong not to return home overnight, and to stay in the forest for such a long time.

Is it because of the person who went together?

Different from Dajing's optimism, Wu Xuechun is not so relieved about Pu Yiyang.When Xiang Hong confronted that Mr. Pu, Wu Xuechun could see the occasional helplessness of his boss from his superficial dominance.What if Xiang Hong is no longer willing to do anything to that person?From the first meeting, Wu Xuechun knew that Pu Yiyang was a smart person, and he was a smart person who was good at hiding his strength.Such a person is the scariest, you never know how many sharp edges are hidden behind his harmless smile.

He took out his phone again.Xiang Hong didn't like being disturbed by others, but he made an exception to make a few phone calls to his boss three hours and one hour ago.The result, of course, was that no one answered.He couldn't help wondering whether Xiang Hong didn't want to answer the phone, or couldn't.His finger moved to another fast communication key, stopped for a while, and did not press it for a long time.

Want to contact that person?If Xiang Hong knew that he contacted that person, he would be furious.Or, the boss has long been clear about what he did...

Wu Xuechun's hand holding the phone lightly shook.

He couldn't help but look back at Dajing, and he was relieved to see his brother still eating potato chips and watching horror movies.

Just wait.Wait another hour, and if the boss hasn't returned after 24 hours, he tells that person.

At this time, through the open door, he saw two figures at the edge of the forest.

Wu Xuechun's whole body was shocked, and his tense face rarely showed a momentary relaxation, and he quickly patted Dajing's shoulder.

"Tricking things up again? It's useless the second time..." Da Jing just finished speaking contemptuously, when he turned his head and saw the person walking in, his expression changed instantly, and he jumped up and down on the spot, "Boss, boss!"

Xiang Hong obviously heard his loud voice, and stared at him with a dark face: "Who do you say is bad?"

"No, no, no, no!" Dajing hurried to Xiang Hong, stuttered for a long time, looked at Xiang Hong and then at Pu Yiyang who was following behind, seeing that both of them were dripping wet, he scratched his hair in puzzlement, "Boss, you... just went swimming?"

The corner of Xiang Hong's mouth twitched: "...it's raining."

Dajing said "Oh" and blinked in confusion: "But, the rain stopped in the morning?"

Before Xiang Hong could speak, Wu Xuechun twisted Da Jing's back first, telling this good brother who insisted on flashes of cleverness when he shouldn't be smart to shut up.

The people who just came out of the forest changed their clothes and ate some hot food, and they finally looked not so distressed.

After recuperating, the group prepared to return to Seattle, Xiang Hong first asked Da Jing to send Pu Yiyang back to the hotel where he was originally staying.This trip didn't use any coercive means. The two sat face to face in comfortable seats, and they were silent for the whole journey.

Just after leaving the primitive jungle and returning to a civilized society, the relationship between the two of them seems to be different from when they were in the forest.

Just arrived at the place in such silence, when Pu Yiyang was about to get up and get out of the car, Xiang Hong grabbed him.

Xiang Hong remembered the moment when he walked out of the forest.Shuguang was right in front of him, he and Pu Yiyang were very happy, even he forgot his obsession with cleanliness and contempt for another person at that moment, and hugged Pu Yiyang's shoulder tightly.But that hug lasted only a second.As they got closer to the outside world, they got further and further away from that night in the forest.Under his signal, Pu Yiyang tactfully let go of the hand that had been supporting him, and let him walk in front of Wu Xuechun.The sudden appearance of a distance of several tens of centimeters and the leaving body temperature made Xiang Hong feel a little uncomfortable.But now, once Pu Yiyang gets out of the car, the distance between them will be even further.

As far as it used to be.Moreover, Xiang Hong's rationality told himself that that was correct.

This pull is a bit too long.Pu Yiyang was looking back at him, one eyebrow slowly raised.

In fact, Xiang Hong didn't think about what he wanted to say. After stretching his hand for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "After going back..."

Pu Yiyang thought for a while, as if he understood what he meant immediately, he grinned and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I will never tell anything about the forest."

After speaking, he patted the back of Xiang Hong's hand comfortingly, and jumped out of the car briskly.

Xiang Hong sat in a daze for a while, then suddenly patted the chair cushion, and said angrily, "Bastard! Why didn't you say it? I obviously didn't mean it! There's something ulterior, I just..."

When he turned his head, two pairs of eyes in the front row were staring at him, one was more reserved, and he just turned his head slightly, and the other had a big face that couldn't get any closer, and they were all waiting for him to continue talking.

His two little brothers, when it comes to this kind of time, gossip more than anyone else.It's really hard to be a boss.

Xiang Hong felt even more angry, and waved his hand: "What are you looking at! Let's go back too!"

They went directly to FREE's company in Seattle.

Dajing went to park the car, and Wu Xuechun followed Xiang Hong back to the office.There were only two people left in the elevator, Xiang Hong glanced at Wu Xuechun, and suddenly said, "Don't you ask me what happened in the forest?"

Wu Xuechun's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at Xianghong, and he could tell from the boss's expression that this was completely different from the joke on the car.His heart beat more violently, and he replied calmly: "If the boss wants me to know, he will naturally let me know. If he doesn't want me to know, I won't ask."

He had already seen that something happened to Xiang Hong in the forest.The clothes are all dirty and tattered, the bags containing the supplies are missing, and Xiang Hong's walking posture is still weird. It seems that the two of them have stayed up all night in the forest empty-handed, and there may have been a fight .It was Dajing who didn't pay much attention, just saw that the clothes were wet and didn't see anything else, so he would think that the two of them went swimming somewhere.

Xiang Hong nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are the most sensible."

Wu Xuechun felt that the boss looked at him more deeply.

"I'm going to find your uncle later," Xiang Hong slowly straightened his cuffs, without continuing to focus on Wu Xuechun, "I have to clarify some things with him. I just don't know if he will see me come back alive. Won't you be a little surprised?"

There was a trace of coldness on Wu Xuechun's back.

He's a smart guy, and smart people know smart people don't talk crap.Xiang Hong's meaning was already very clear, something happened to him in the forest, he almost didn't get out alive, and he was sure that this matter had something to do with Wu Zheng.

Wu Xuechun frowned, and blurted out: "Boss, my uncle won't..."

Xiang Hong put a hand on his shoulder, stopped him, and said slowly: "Ah Chun, your uncle is your uncle, and you are you. Whether he will do these things to me, I have to ask him." You know, don’t you? If you speak for him, it probably doesn’t count.”

Wu Xuechun's lips trembled.He knew he was out of control and said something he shouldn't have said.He anxiously tried to find some clues on Xiang Hong's face, be it vigilance, temptation, whatever, so as to make him feel at ease.

But Xiang Hong didn't.His boss's face was full of calm, which made the man not seem like he had just escaped from death, but was about to set foot on the battlefield.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay. I'll check with Mr. Wu's secretary first to see if he's in the office."

"Okay." Xiang Hong noticed that he had changed his address, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, and he followed his instructions, "By the way, if Uncle Wu is here, you can go see him with me. "

The elevator just opened.

Wu Xuechun followed Xiang Hong out, using a faster pace to cover up her panic.

Fortunately, I didn't stay in that small space for too long.If he waited another second, he was worried that Xiang Hong would notice his abnormal heartbeat.
