Online Games: Light and Dust

As expected, after listening to Cheng Xi's account of what happened, Qin Lu did not react like a rage.

Probably there is no word "excited" in his world.

"...When I saw Xiaoyu, he was probably as red as a boiled shrimp..." Cheng Xi said lightly: "He is still very grateful to Nan Zhongyuan for helping him find a job."

Qin Lu calmly glanced at Nan Zhongyuan.

Nan Zhongyuan had an expression of lovelessness.

"You have too little life experience." He only glanced at Nan Zhongyuan, then turned around and said calmly to Lin Yu, "Don't just believe anyone, there are some people in this world who are just bored and like to lie."

If it were converted into a martial arts drama, Nan Zhongyuan should have covered his heart as soon as Qin Lu said this, and then spit out a mouthful of blood with a face ashamed.

Although Yan Sifan doesn't know the ins and outs, he is someone who can play with Cheng Xi after all, and he can figure out the general idea after a little thought, but he is definitely not a kind person who helps those in danger and those in need - watching a play is more suitable for him character.Seeing Nan Zhongyuan's frustrated face, he smiled and put his hands on Nan Zhongyuan's shoulders to comfort him.

Qin Lu's home is an independent two-story western-style building. It's not very gorgeous. It's just the kind commonly seen in the suburbs. The yard is surrounded by blue bricks. There is an osmanthus tree planted in the yard. Now it's time to bloom. The fragrance of a yard, there are stone benches under the trees, and the vegetable field is surrounded by a short fence in the corner of the yard.

There are many people in this world who judge people based on their origin and wealth, but fortunately, the four guests standing here are not one of them.

Although Qin Lu had a cold personality, he was still very considerate to the guests. He poured them water and served fruits, entertained them to sit in the main room, and then pushed an old woman in a wheelchair out of the room.

"Grandma, this is my friend, Lin Yu, Cheng Xi, Yan Sifan, Nan Zhongyuan." He calmly introduced Lin Yu and the others to his grandma.

Lin Yu and the others hurriedly got up to say hello to the old man, and Grandma Qin also smiled and asked them to have fun here.

Everyone else was fine, Lin Yu really regarded Qin Lu as a good friend, and after his grandmother passed away, he would soften his heart when he saw the old man, so he really respected the old man sincerely.

Qin Lu's grandma was over 80 years old. Although she was well taken care of, she was a sick person and not in good health, so Qin Lu asked them to say hello to her and sent her back to her room.

"It's already 06:30, I'm going to make dinner." Qin Lu let them into his room: "This is my room, I can play on the computer, there is no TV, you can read as you like."

His room is very clean, the quilt on the bed is neatly folded, it can be seen that he is a person who often stays at home, there are many things but not messy, wardrobe, mirror, bookcase, and the runner-up in the last Tianzhiya competition The prize - a 1:1 scale figure of the archer "Sun Shooting Bow", hanging on the wall.The most expensive thing in his room should be the assembled desktop computer. He saw Lin Yu staring at the microphone hanging on the computer screen, and calmly explained: "I am playing other games besides Tian Zhi Ya, and I have live broadcasts. make money."

Lin Yu's concept of rich and poor—but it's just a concept, and doesn't connect rich and poor with people. To him, Qin Lu lives in the suburbs, and Bai Xiaoxu is the son of a professor at S City University. the difference.

But apart from Lin Yu, the other three people in this room more or less saw Qin Lu's situation.

Qin Lu's economy is not well-off. It is so late, but his parents are not at home. It should be that they are not at home often, or "absent" at all. He takes care of his grandma who can only sit in a wheelchair, so he makes money through games, so that he can Take care of grandma without leaving home.His indifferent personality and his lack of words may have something to do with living alone all the year round.

Cheng Xi glanced at Nan Zhongyuan.

The meaning of this glance may not even be clear to him.

Beyond observation, beyond inquiry, perhaps, with a little warning.

Although Cheng Xi changed his girlfriends like a revolving lantern, it was all yours, and he seemed cynical and disregarded the rules. In fact, he had a lot of principles. He didn't play with sincerity, and didn't provoke serious people—Qin Lu obviously belonged to this kind of people.

It is one thing for Nan Zhongyuan to open a restaurant to play games in the world. No matter how much he loses money, this restaurant is just a game to him. With insurance, as long as Nan's family is still alive, his life will never be in a mess.

But Qin Lu is different.

His life is a solid life, one day of earning money, one day's income, he lives calmly and alone, although he is not rich or free, he lives well alone.Nan Zhongyuan's rash intrusion may not be a good thing for him, because Nan Zhongyuan can retreat at any time, but he has no way to retreat.Be it friends, or have other ideas, Nan Zhongyuan is not suitable for Qin Lu.

Whether it's Aiwujiwu, Cheng Xi is a bit protective of Qin Lu, that's why he warned Nan Zhongyuan.

But Nan Zhongyuan didn't see him at all.

Qin Lu stood in front of the sink washing vegetables.

Because he often stays at home to take care of the elderly, the refrigerator at home is always full, and he starts to defrost the meat before going out, and he is currently handling a live fish—he doesn’t talk often, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t In terms of feelings, he is more restrained than most people. He is actually happy when Lin Yu came to his house, so he prepares a sumptuous dinner and tries hard to entertain them.

The kitchen door was pushed open.

Nan Zhongyuan said awkwardly, "I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."

Qin Lu neatly washed a handful of lettuce, put it in a basket to drain the water - he didn't say anything, but stood aside to make room for Nan Zhongyuan.

Nan Zhongyuan quickly stood over.

The atmosphere eased up, and he became more courageous. Qin Lu didn't speak, but he dared to smile at Qin Lu: "I actually run a restaurant..."

Qin Lu glanced at him.

"Oh."

Qin Lu's indifferent response could not dispel his enthusiasm. Seeing that Qin Lu was a bit helpless with the fish, he smiled and squeezed over: "Let me do it."

Although Qin Lu was a little skeptical, he still gave it to him.

The shop owner picked up the grass carp from the water, knocked it out neatly, and in the pool, disemboweled it, removed the scales, and then cut vertically between the gills and tail to find out the fishy line. Pat the head of the fish with a knife and slowly pull out the fishy thread, and still proudly show off to my master: "Others only know that carp has tendons, but grass carp also removes the fishy thread. This is my exclusive secret..."

Qin Lu nodded expressionlessly.

Nan Zhongyuan was used to staying with him in the game for a long time, and he didn't feel frustrated. He cooked the grass carp with a smile, sliced ​​the fish off piece by piece, and used cooking wine and ginger to remove the smell, and asked Qin Lu: "Master, grass carp Is it braised or boiled?"

Qin Lu looked around the kitchen: "It's all fine."

"If you have braised pork and pork ribs, cook them in water. Do you have sauerkraut at Master's house?" Nan Zhongyuan was already preparing the pork ribs.

Qin Lu silently pulled out a kimchi jar from under the kitchen counter.

"Isn't Master's family a local?" Nan Zhongyuan picked up a chopstick of sauerkraut with his chopsticks, and laughed after smelling it.

"My grandma is from Sichuan." Qin Lu squatted on the ground and took things out from the cabinet under the countertop. He was tall but thin. He stayed at home for a long time. He had fair skin and wore a black T-shirt. He lowered his head to pick up things. Sometimes, there is a stubborn arc on the back, which is not graceful, but it makes people know at a glance that this person is by no means a person who is easy to bow his head.

"Afan is a local, so the braised pork is prepared according to the recipe of the local cuisine. Ah Cheng picks it very well, and it is a bit difficult to satisfy him, but Xiaoyu seems to like spicy food..." The owner of the shop pondered for a while, Suddenly asked Qin Lu: "Master, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

Qin Lu was standing aside peeling garlic, when he heard him ask, he turned his head and glanced at him.

The window in the kitchen is very high, it is already the sunset time, the light comes in from the edge of the window, his outline is not dazzlingly handsome, but inexplicably makes people feel handsome and indifferent, from the tip of the nose to the thin lips, to the forehead. People seem to be able to see the proud bones wrapped under the skin. His whole body is like a thin and stern stone statue, and every bone makes a clank when it is knocked down.

Many years later, Nan Zhongyuan still remembered this look.

He said, "What about you, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

The world is humming, time flies by like the wind, the future is still elusive, the past cannot be traced, countless stories, countless conversations, Nan Zhongyuan doesn't know why he only remembers this sentence.

Probably, because no one has ever asked him this sentence.

Lin Yu was reading a book while sitting on the chair of Yan Zhan. Yan Sifan was always reminiscent of some kind of feline. There.

Cheng Xi put his hand on Lin Yu's shoulder and read a book with him.

The books Xiao Zhan read were about programming, which were not advanced. In Lin Yu's opinion, they were only equivalent to getting started. It seemed that he wanted to learn programming.

"I smell the fragrance..." Yan Sifan said lazily, and then changed his position to make himself more comfortable.

"It's just hot pot." Cheng Xi didn't even raise his head. Probably genes are really amazing things. In Nan Zhongyuan's words, he was born with the emperor's tongue. If Nan Zhongyuan has any new dishes, he usually tries them first. Yes, generally if he is willing to eat it a second time, this dish can basically be regarded as a signature dish.

Yan Sifan sighed boredly, lying on the back of the chair, looking at his fingers boredly, and when he was about to slowly enter the empty state, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yu who was reading a book with a serious face, and suddenly became interested.

"Xiaoyu..." He greeted Lin Yu, "I heard that you are a student of the Institute of Technology?"

Lin Yu pulled out of the book in a daze.

"Ah, yes, I'm a physics student."

"Are you good?"

"It's okay." Lin Yu remembered Yi Yunyou's warning, and quickly covered it up: "It's so-so, not great."

"Alright." Yan Sifan pressed his temples with his fingers: "Memorize pi to hypnotize me."
