The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

This rain in late autumn and early winter was heavier and more urgent than many thunderstorms in summer nights. Sitting in the car, Xiang Hong watched the rain slapping on the window, but reached out and lowered the window .

Through the cold rain that hit his face, his eyes were fixed on the door of the building opposite, and there was a part of his peripheral vision that stayed on the phone screen.

Pu Yiyang still refused to answer his call.

Ding Miaomiao asked him to come here to wait for someone, and he had been waiting here for a full two hours.It's not that he didn't think about breaking in directly, but he was afraid that he would go the wrong way and miss that person.

So Mr. Xiang had no choice but to squat at the door, and experienced the longest and most anxious waiting in his life.

"Dare to block me," he glanced at the screen of the mobile phone that showed that the call was unanswered again, and angrily ground his alveolar bone that had been tested recently, "When I find you, you see, if I don't give you ..."

Mr. Xiang, who was talking harshly, tore open the car door, and rushed into the rain at the speed of a rocket, as if an engine was strapped to his legs.

"Why didn't you answer my phone?" When he saw the face that he had read all night, his heart was relieved, and the reprimand he had prepared rushed out of his mouth, as if he was a little bit wronged, "You Do you know that I'm looking for... Wait, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

The person standing there was Pu Yiyang, but he didn't look quite right, he didn't smile like usual, and he didn't mean to answer back.He just poked there like a log, with his head bowed and his back hunched, without even looking at Xiang Hong. The whole person was like a game character with a weak signal, floating vainly in the night.

Xiang Hong was so frightened that he quickly raised his hand and grabbed the man's shoulder.Fortunately, I can hold it. This person is still real. He didn't suddenly become a data point, and he wouldn't be blown away by the wind.

Pu Yiyang turned his head, his movements were extremely slow like rusty gears lacking oil, his face was expressionless, and he pulled the corner of his mouth at Xiang Hong, showing an extremely ugly smile: "It's you Ah. You know what, my dad is a real jerk."

The tone of these words was as casual as he shared what he ate today, but Xiang Hong's heart sank when he heard it.

It was he who underestimated the impact of Pu Zhengping's words on Pu Yiyang.He should have noticed it last night, why did it take him night after day to see how hard this person was hit?

"Bastard is bastard," he grabbed Pu Yiyang, stepped on the steps with one leg, and half of his body was still standing in the rain, "You, don't do stupid things."

The person opposite looked at him.

"I can't do stupid things. I did it when I was 15 years old." Pu Yiyang's voice was still a little fluttering, his eyelids were drooping, and his eyes were staring blankly at the ground. , probably nothing is going on now."

What do you mean nothing now?

Xiang Hong was angry and anxious, the worries for several hours had exhausted his energy, and now he felt like he hadn't slept for several days, his mind was groggy, but his heart was beating faster and faster.

He felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't bear the bullshit that he finally found someone, but the other party didn't seem to be here at all.

No one in this life could make him wait and endure for so long.

"I don't allow you to say anything that's not going on right now," President Xiao Xiang rushed forward and hugged Pu Yiyang tightly. He didn't know if he had been drenched in the rain for a long time, and he was trembling all over, "It's you You told me, Pu Yiyang, it was you who told me that you would not leave me, let alone such a small matter, even if the sky fell, you would not leave me, and you were not allowed to play and disappear for me, did you hear that? ?”

Pu Yiyang let him hug him, but he didn't respond for a long time. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Xiang, I'm not very interesting, let alone capable. Tired of watching."

This is... the meaning of rejecting him?

Xiang Hong suddenly let go of Pu Yiyang.

"You are really annoying." He stood in the rain with his head lowered, his hands hanging by his sides, "You are lazy and have bad taste. The house is a mess. After eating instant noodles They don't even clean up the dishes... they behave casually, they don't speak well, they always like to tease people, and they always do some stupid things that are reckless and overpowering..."

For example, he insisted on finding him who was sunk in the darkness and dragging him to the edge of the fire.

Xiang Hong used to live like a clam whose shell was bitten tightly. No one dared to force him to open the shell to reveal the soft meat inside.Anyone who wants to go one step further must have his hands bitten off by the vicious Mr. Xiang.But there is such a person who is unscrupulous and impatient, and wants to reach out again and again to break his shell.

You can't bite to death even if you bite it, and you can't shake it off, so what else can you do?It took Xiang Hong a long time to understand that he could only force himself to open the shell and wrap that tormenting bastard tightly.

But now, now that he is ready, ready to take a step forward, this man retreats by himself, putting on such a face that rejects people thousands of miles away, as if the relationship between the two of them The things he said were all his wishful thinking, and they returned to the original point where they were strangers and had nothing to do with each other.

"What do you want me to do with you?" He looked at that person, feeling almost hopeless, he was stuck in this place where he could not advance or retreat, and every second he had two thoughts alternately in his mind Staged, one thought wanted him to pounce on that person and bite him into pieces, letting him completely melt into his flesh and blood, and another thought wanted him to turn around and run away.

Why is loving someone so painful?

He can't use a gun to force this person to submit, he can't use the rules he is familiar with to threaten and negotiate, and any conspiracy and conspiracy he has learned will be invalid, except for standing here like a fool If it's embarrassing, he can't do anything at all.

This is so embarrassing and frustrating.It turned out that this was more painful than being forced to bow to Wu Zheng.Because Xiang Hong knew that he would definitely be able to defeat Wu Zheng in this life, but he might never be able to win the battle before him.

"I know, I know I'm not as good as Ding Miaomiao in some respects, so you'd rather find her than come to me," he opened his mouth in vain, as if forcing himself to show a decent smile, but it poured into his mouth It’s full of cold rain that makes people want to vomit, "You even prefer to shoot you, although I don’t know why that guy is better than me... I’m out of luck, Pu Yiyang, I can’t think of it myself I'll tell you this... I lost... I surrendered to you."

He has never really conceded defeat to anyone, only this time, he said that he would definitely win against the person in front of him, but he knew very clearly that he couldn't do it.

The rain was falling too heavily, and it kept pouring into his eyes and mouth. He kept his eyes open, but it didn't take long for his vision to blur.

Xiang Hong didn't want to close his eyes, didn't want to turn his head, he stood like a defeated general, he didn't want the other party to see him showing any timidity when he said these words.He raised his arm, trying to rub the water from his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, but unexpectedly, a hand landed on his cheek before his own.

"You..." The man gently stroked the icy and hot skin under his palm, "Are you crying?"

The man's head and face were already soaked, and his eyelashes were full of water. If he couldn't hold back, he would roll down, roll once in those staring eyes, and land on his fingertips.

hot.

The skin under his hand became a little hotter, and the thin skin of the man had not been sharpened after being washed by the rain for so long, and it was still red, even the night couldn't stop it.

"Who, who said that!" President Xiao Xiang, who had just regarded death as if he had just stepped on his tail, yelled while grinding his teeth, "Shut up!"

But his face is still in Pu Yiyang's hands.

"You're angry even when you say you're cute, so let me put it another way." Pu Yiyang stroked the pear-blossoming rainy face like a peach-blossom face with a little melancholy, "You're very right, I'm People are pretty bastards, and they really don’t mean anything. I’m not lying to you. However, I have at least one advantage left, that is, I’m thick-skinned. How long. Unless one day you are really tired of me, tsk, then it’s hard to say, maybe I’ll be overwhelmed and still pester you. Mr. Xiang, if you want to lose, let’s discuss it. It doesn't take long for you to lose to me, just lose for the rest of your life... How about that?"

Those eyes, which were still miserable just now, opened wide.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Hong said with a hoarse voice, as if he still couldn't believe that Liu Yinhua was bright.

Pu Yiyang said steadily: "I mean, I love you."

It wasn't just the corners of Xiang Hong's eyes and cheeks that turned red, he turned from a drowned peacock into a fire-breathing phoenix.

"You fucking did it on purpose!" He grabbed Pu Yiyang by the collar and dragged him into the rain. With an expression of wanting to seek revenge, he rushed forward and bit the person opposite him hard. lips.

By the time they got home, both of them were drenched.

In the car, Pu Yiyang explained everything honestly, including that he already knew that if you were shot, you would be Xiang Hong, and that he and Ding Miaomiao were actually just acting in the beginning.

Mr. Xiang's expression changed again and again, several times Pu Yiyang felt that the man wanted to let go of the steering wheel and pounce on him to beat him up. When he returned home, he was still in fear with his tail between his legs.

To be honest, he didn't mean to tease Xiang Hong just now, no one expected him to be so straightforward in his head, and he didn't know that he had already guessed who you were with a single shot.In Xiang Hong's logic, isn't he kissing and showing affection to a stranger in the game?Pu Yiyang was caught off guard by Xiang Hong's jealous sip, and he finally understood that the man's reaction in DELTA meant this, rather than trying to treat his enthusiasm coldly.

Misunderstandings piled on top of each other, but in the end, the negative and the negative became positive, and the brain circuits that failed to match up between them were forcibly twisted back together.

When Pu Yiyang came out of the shower, he saw that Xianghong was still the same as 10 minutes ago, standing at the door of the bathroom looking at him.

"I've confirmed the matter of Yuanhang Star in the company," Xiang Hong opened his mouth to talk about the serious matter, "The person in charge of the game production didn't know that An would capture the player's consciousness to create A-VATAR, and they didn't know either. With your dad... the AI ​​image of Pu Zhengping appeared on Yuanhang Star."

Pu Yiyang nodded: "This shows that for the production team, Voyage Star is indeed a normal copy. Someone changed it."

He didn't forget to go to the player forum to check the situation during the day.For ordinary players, the disappearance of Voyage Star is nothing more than a difficult dungeon clearance. There are only a few posts wondering who the dungeon clearer is, why there is no system announcement, and the final destination of the much-anticipated glazed crystal.

The darkness is gone, and the code that was maliciously modified should also be gone, and everything seems to have returned to its original place in a calm situation.

It's just that he knows very well that whether he looks up or not, this storm is in the sky, and it's just brewing.

Xiang Hong didn't speak for a while, the room was very quiet, only the sound of water falling from Pu Yiyang's undried hair.

Xiang Hong took a dry towel in his hand, covered Pu Yiyang's head, and rubbed it a few times.

Pu Yiyang is a little strange, he can smell the rain on the other person, Xiao Xiang is always such a clean and face-saving person, just got wet in the rain, his whole body is wrinkled and wet, and his long hair is sticky , I was so embarrassed, how could I bear to not change my clothes until now.

"You," he felt Xiang Hong's hand stop on top of his head, "you won't disappear again, will you?"

This question was asked in a very low voice, not at all low to Mr. Xiang, and even a little cautious panic.

Pu Yiyang felt as if he had been whipped hard in his heart, he thought, what did he do.

He made a proud man throw away the thorns all over his body, bowed his head and knelt to him, and almost fell to his knees in the dust, but this was not what he wanted to see.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here." He hooked Xiang Hong's neck and kissed the pale lips.

Xiang Hong hugged him for a long, long time.

"I'm going to take a shower," Xiao Xiang finally revived with blood, and looked back at him before rushing into the bathroom, "Also, don't go to my bed until your hair is dry."
