Dark Night of Inheritance

Mu Ta Bing on the balcony was closing his eyes slightly, enjoying the night breeze, completely immersing his mind in this moment of tranquility isolated from the hustle and bustle of the floating world.The colored glazed door behind him made a soft sound of opening, and it seemed that someone came out again, but he ignored it.

After a long time, a young boy's voice sounded behind him, timidly and hesitantly. "Cousin, can I talk to you?"

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood." Mu Ta Bing didn't turn his head, but slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, staring intently into the distance.

The boy lowered his head. This cousin who he often took him to play with when he was a child and who liked him the most is now only willing to face him with his back. Whose fault is this?He clenched his hands in bewilderment, rubbing his intertwined fingers restlessly, and he spoke again after a long time, his voice full of grievances. "Liu Yi, do you hate me..."

"That's your choice," Mu Ta Bing turned his head, his eyes and tone were flat, as if he was just talking to a stranger. "Since you have chosen, don't regret it."

"What if I say that's not my choice?" The young man bit his lip, his face somewhat similar to Mu Ta Bing's was full of sadness. "I never thought of betraying you... You have been the best person to me since I was a child. You never forced me to do things I didn't like, nor would you laugh at my stupidity. As long as I was with you, I would I felt very happy, but then..."

"There's no need to talk about the past." Mentioning the past, Mu Ta Bing couldn't help showing a little emotion in his indifferent eyes, but he quickly moved his eyes away from the other person's face to conceal his emotions.

"I know I'm stupid, and I don't understand some things, but I know that I entered the game to be with you all the time... I can't help but think of the things we played together in the past few years, I was really happy at that time." The young man seemed to be hurt by Mu Ta Bing's indifference, so he couldn't help covering his face and weeping in a low voice. "I also know that the letter was my fault... I shouldn't be too greedy... No, I shouldn't listen to my sister's lies, I really didn't expect it to become like this..."

Whether you want it or not, the fact has already been doomed, even if you regret it, there is no possibility of changing it... Sighing softly, Mu Ta Bing walked up to the young man and patted him comfortingly. On the boy's back, he said in a low voice: "Qiangwei, don't cry, I never blamed you."

"But Zhengzhan said that you are not willing to come back, woo... a lot of people in the family have left these days, and now the never-setting sun has become so indifferent, and everyone has become so selfish." The boy stopped crying and leaned into Mu Tabing Because he knew that his indifferent cousin had already softened his heart, so he raised his head, his eyes full of expectation. "Liu Yi, can you come back? Zhengzhan said that he will return the city lord to you, so we can still be happy every day like in the past, okay?"

Mu Ta Bing looked at the young man in his arms, but he could only think of Xiao Jingge's smiling face, which was disastrous to the country and the people, and he couldn't help but shook his head──What are you thinking about him at this time, is he in trouble?Gently pushing the boy out of his arms, Mu Ta Bing took a step back with a helpless expression on his face. "I can't promise you, let the past go, there's no need to keep thinking about it."

"Six differences..." The boy's eye circles began to turn red again.

But this time Mu Ta Bing didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Okay, I don't want to mention it anymore, if you have nothing else, go back." After finishing speaking, he turned and looked into the distance, unwilling to turn back.

After a long time, the colored glass door made the sound of opening again. Mu Ta Bing thought it was the young man who had left and didn't pay much attention.He is very disturbed now, and Qiangwei's words reminded him of those happy days in the past. When he was isolated and monitored, it was the joy in those games that made him forget the pain in reality and the death of his father. And the abandonment of his mother... However, the happiness is short-lived after all. When he thought that he could escape the pain of reality with virtual fantasy, the virtual fantasy was also shattered.

It seems that his life is confirming a truth: getting it means losing it eventually.

Mu Ta Bing couldn't help laughing at himself, if it is true that what you get is what you lose, then wouldn't it be the happiest people who have nothing?Because then you will not know the joy of gain and the pain of loss.But when he thought of An Ye and Xiao Jingge, his self-mockery turned into a faint pain... Now that he has the help of An Ye, and Xiao Jingge is by his side, he is no longer the one who leaves alone when the sun never sets, hides his identity alone , waiting for Liuyi alone in the battle, but who knows when all this will be lost again, and whether he can still be as calm and composed as when he left the sun never set, blocking all emotions After the mask?

Forget it, I still don't want to, since what is gained will eventually be lost, so what's the use of thinking too much?

Shaking his head lightly, Mu Ta Bing put away the confusion in his heart, only then did he realize that there seemed to be a person standing behind him.Could it be that Qiangwei hasn't left yet?Mu Ta Bing was secretly surprised, but felt that this was unlikely, but he didn't have to worry about the other party's ill intentions.After all, there is only one door away from the lobby, so even if the other party wants to misbehave, they will have some scruples...

"Are you in a bad mood?"

But before Mu Ta Bing finished thinking, a gentle and slightly smiling voice sounded from behind him. The familiar voice made him turn around immediately, and was stunned in surprise.

Xiao Jingge looked at the stunned man in front of him, and thought of the cold and indifferent expression that this man had in the hall just now, and the coldness in his eyes when he was talking with people, the smile on his lips could not help but grow a little stronger.So, he took a few steps closer, looked down at the other person halfway and said, "Why, don't you recognize him?"

Mu Ta Bing never expected to meet Xiao Jingge in reality, of course it wasn't unexpected at all, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon and in this kind of place.If he was in the game as usual, he would definitely show a leisurely smile at this moment, but the face in reality has been stretched for too long, so stiff that he can't even smile.After working hard for a long time, he had no choice but to twitch the corners of his mouth, barely revealing a stiff smile and said: "It's just a little accident, why are you here?"

"Oh, it's so ugly to smile." Xiao Jingge shook his head, pinched Mu Ta Bing's cheeks with his hands and pulled them to both sides, until the other party's eyes were red from sore muscles, then he let go, and said with a smile: "This hotel is the place to be!" It belongs to my family."

"Oh," Mu Ta Bing rubbed his painfully pinched face, and accused Xiao Jingge of "atrocities" with his eyes, but apart from an "oh", he could only stare blankly at Xiao Jingge, not knowing what to do at all. What to say... It's been a long time since he talked to strangers in real life. Of course, people who are familiar in the game are just familiar strangers in reality. He neither knows the real name of the other party, nor understands The background of the other party, I really don't know what to say in this chat.
