Parents are very busy at work and are away from home all year round.

It doesn't matter if they are not at home, they have someone else...the father even has an illegitimate daughter when he is away.

He has long been used to living alone and eating alone.

It was rare for the two to come back once, and every time they met, they would definitely quarrel.

And when you quarrel, you will definitely blame yourself.

This made Qiu Zhe feel tired. He had never felt the warmth of a home. That home and those parents only made him feel suffocated.

want to escape.

Escape from the place that suffocated him.

By the time he reacted in a daze, he was already standing at the door of the dormitory.

It's ridiculous to say that since he was a child, he has never eaten a meal made by his mother.

And Xia Piaoyue made him feel like 'home' for the first time.

Being by his side, he actually felt at ease.

While thinking wildly, Xia Piaoyue came back after washing the dishes.

The relationship between the two of them is just a nodding acquaintance, and they won't suddenly become warm just because of a meal.

Both Qiu Zhe and Xia Piaoyue felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Go out now? You haven't been to the snack street next to the school, have you?"

Qiu Zhe took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"it is good."

Xia Piaoyue originally wanted to read a book and do homework, but the other party offered to invite him. He is also a flattering personality, and he can't learn to refuse. He nodded obediently, and turned to get his coat from the closet.

It has already started to snow in the imperial capital, and the weather is very cold.

And the old cotton coat on his body was very thin.

Qiu Zhe watched silently, then stood up suddenly and took out a down jacket from his closet and handed it over: "It's cold outside, wear mine."

Xia Piaoyue raised her eyes to look at him in surprise, she wanted to refuse but she couldn't refuse, in the end she could only accept it with a blushing face, and thanked him softly: "Thank you."

He is taller and stronger than him, and the thick down jacket on him makes him look smaller and petite.

With the silly mushroom head, it is quite cute.

The corner of Qiu Zhe's mouth slightly raised, and his tone softened a lot: "Let's go."

The two went out together.

The snack street is not far from the school, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there.

Because it was a weekend, there were many people, all of whom were students from nearby universities.

"Tell me what you want to eat."

Qiu Zhe looked at Xia Piaoyue who was looking around like a curious baby, and said.

The latter nodded obediently, but never mentioned what he was interested in.

Knowing his temperament, Qiu Zhe observed secretly, as long as he took a second look at something, he would silently walk over and buy it.

After a while, his hands were already filled with all kinds of snacks, sweet and salty...but there were no spicy ones.

Xia Piaoyue didn't eat much in the first place, but he was already half full just now, and he stared round with a perplexed expression.

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it, just give me the rest, I can eat it, you can taste it all."

Qiu Zhe said proactively.

In the end, two-thirds of the food they bought ended up in his stomach.

"Want to watch a movie? Or shall we go to the arcade?"

Going out is actually boring and cold, Qiu Zhe wanted to find a place to pass the time.

Whether it was a movie or an arcade, Xia Piaoyue had never been there, and the troubled expression appeared in the cat's eyes again.

"Forget it, I know it's difficult for you to choose. I'll ask you what to do. Anyway, tomorrow weekend, you can play whatever you want. Let's go to the game hall today, and I will take you to the movies tomorrow."

Qiu Zhe chuckled and walked forward first.

The latter hurriedly followed like a little tail.

There is a street near the Food City. The shops on the first floor are boutiques, clothing stores, photoshops and other small shops. On the second floor, there is a large entertainment city, with a billiards room, a game room, a video room, an Internet cafe and other entertainment activities. .

Xia Piaoyue looked left and right like Grandma Liu was entering the Grand View Garden, and her naive look made people laugh.

The game hall is actually a video game city, but it was not called that in that era.

In 2000, Internet cafes began to become mainstream, but there were still many students going to game halls.

When Xia Piaoyue and Qiu Zhe arrived at the game hall at about 08:30 in the evening, it was full of people, all of whom were students from the nearby university town.

There are two dance machines at the entrance of the game hall, and two very stylishly dressed young ladies dance on them, with a crowd of people watching behind them.

In addition to the dancing machine, there are also game consoles with guns and shooting, game consoles with steering wheels that can drive racing cars, and various arcade games that he has never seen before...

Xia Piaoyue felt that she had opened the door to a new world.

Their village is very backward. The only game console in the village is the Xiaobawang game console in the small shop at the entrance of the village. With this console, the boss has become the most popular adult among the children in the village.

As soon as school was over, I threw away my schoolbags and ran to the small shop. If I had no money, I would stand behind and watch others play.

When no one could be found at meal time, the adults rushed to the small shop with a feather duster, grabbing every one of them, and almost every child would be led home by their own adults by their ears.

Qiu Zhe took Xia Piaoyue to the coin buying place, took out 100 yuan and handed it to the staff: "Two hundred coins."

All games in the game hall require coins, [-] cents a coin, some only need one coin, such as dancing machine racing requires two coins.

crazy? !

How could they use up the two hundred coins!

Xia Piaoyue felt sorry for the 100 yuan, and he only spent 150 yuan on a water bottle for a month.

"Not so many, I don't know how to play, I just want to see you play, just buy a few."

He hastily grabbed Qiu Zhe by the corner of his clothes and whispered.

"How many do you want?"

The staff chewing gum asked impatiently.

"Fifty."

Qiu Zhe thought about it, and changed it to fifty. It was already very late, and he and Xia Piaoyue really didn't need so much for two hundred coins.

Soon, the staff handed over a basket of coins to the two.

Xia Piaoyue took them cautiously, counting them one by one, for fear that the staff would be short of money.

Tch, where did the bumpkin come from?

The staff member snorted, rolled his eyes and ignored the two of them.

This move is actually quite embarrassing.

But Qiu Zhe knew Xia Piaoyue's temperament, so he didn't say anything, just stood quietly and waited.

"Yes, no less."

After he finished counting, he looked up at him with a sweet smile.

"Well, let's go, what do you want to play?"

Qiu Zhe turned his mouth slightly, and led him away from the bar.

"Shoot, I want to shoot!"

Xia Piaoyue said with bright eyes.

The two came to the game console of VR Warrior, invested four coins, and started the online game.

"Just aim at the robbers and pull the trigger. Be careful not to kill the hostages."

Before the start, Qiu Zhe taught on the spot.

The latter clasped the handle of the game gun with both hands, stared at the screen, and nodded vigorously.

Soon, the first robber appeared.

The two sides launched a fierce gun battle.

Qiu Zhe moved quickly, holding the handle of the gun with one hand and quickly pulling the trigger to kill the enemy bravely.

Looking at Xia Piaoyue's side, not many people were killed, and he killed many poor hostages. He was also shot frequently, bullet holes appeared on the screen, and his health bar dropped rapidly. After a while, a few OVERs appeared. Character.

"I'm dead? I'm dead..."

He stared round his cat's eyes, first said it with interrogative sentences, then recognized the facts, and pitifully said it again with affirmative sentences.

"Insert coins, continue."

Qiu Zhe didn't even bat an eye, he continued to shoot and gave orders at the same time.
