Sheng Ming stood beside the flower bed, looking up at the residential building in front of him.

After returning to the real world from the dungeon, Sheng Ming asked his family's driver to take him to the neighborhood where Ning Qiubai lived.But when he got downstairs, Sheng Ming suddenly didn't know what he was doing up there.

Although teammates around him and family members misunderstood the relationship between the two of them, Sheng Ming knew in his heart that there was only a short-term cooperative relationship between Ning Qiubai and him, and the friendship based on this cooperation was as fragile as ice floe.

After confirming that Ning Qiubai's copy will not affect the real world, Sheng Ming has no reason to continue pestering Ning Qiubai.He has never been very interested in things that are of no use to him.

Well, maybe he does have some interest in Ning Qiubai other than the above reasons, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here.

As for the reasons and direction of these interests...

Sheng Ming pressed the elevator, stretched out his hand and lightly pressed his left chest.

The heart in his chest beats steadily and gently. If a doctor monitors his heart rate for a certain period of time, he will be horrified to find that Sheng Ming's heart beats very regularly, as if it is a fixed melody going back and forth. Playing is like a repeater caught in an endless loop.

Because his young and vigorous body and beating heart were all simulated and fixed with the help of the power of unreal games.

If there is no unreal game, maybe he will go into shock and die in the next moment.

Sheng Ming has accepted this fact, and feels that there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just at this moment that Sheng Ming suddenly thought of this, and rarely lowered his eyes, and some heavy things accumulated in his heart, slowly sinking in the lake of his heart.

—Maybe he can consider completely healing this body?

Sheng Ming closed his eyes and instantly rejected this idea.

Soon, the corners of his lips curled up again, watching the elevator stop at the top floor with a "ding dong".

It's too early to think about it now, let's wait until he finds out his interest in Ning Qiubai, and Ning Qiubai's interest in him.

The reactivated Sheng Ming quickly concocted more than a dozen excuses for placing Ning Qiubai in his mind, but none of these excuses were used.

He rang the doorbell of Ning Qiubai's house, and waited for more than ten minutes but no one opened the door.

After going around in circles, Du Zigui contacted Ning Qiubai's book of choice through the ability of "prophet". Going to take a vacation at home for a while."

He paused, and this time his voice was tinged with sympathy, "The book of choices also said that Ning Qiubai went back with a handsome guy who was very, very close. !"

Sheng Ming: "..."

……

Ning Qiubai leaned on the seat of the moving car, looked at the scenery passing by outside, and yawned lazily: "I don't know why, but I feel sleepy when I get in the car."

Xia Zhou sat beside him, paused the video on the iPad, bent down and took out a bottle of drink from his bag: "Refreshing, do you want a drink?"

Ning Qiubai accepted it bluntly, and looked at Xia Zhou's video curiously: "What is this?"

"The process of the next project will start at the end of the year, and I will make preparations in advance." Xia Zhou explained simply, "I am still communicating with the leaders on demand."

Ning Qiubai looked at Xia Zhou with complicated eyes: "Stop rolling, give us a way out."

Xia Zhou couldn't help but want to laugh, turned off the iPad, and took off the Bluetooth headset: "It won't roll over your head...well, I'll watch it when I get home."

As a perfect "child from someone else's family", Xia Zhou's appearance is directly proportional to his academic performance. He was a school girl in junior high school, and Ning Qiubai, who has a good relationship with him, is often asked by his female classmates to send love letters.

Especially when he smiles, he is fresh and clean. Now that he has been in the workplace for two years, he is less of a student and more mature and steady.

Ning Qiubai said with emotion: "You didn't find a girlfriend, and this time you will be nagged by Uncle Xia again when you go home."

Xia Zhou waved his hand: "I'm only 24, my dad is an old antique, he only graduated two years ago, and I can't afford the down payment, what kind of girlfriend can I find?"

"You don't have to think so far to fall in love."

Xia Zhou thought for three seconds: "I will probably choose a blind date."

"what?"

"When I have enough money to get married, I will meet a steady girl with a good personality." Xia Zhou sighed, "You know that my personality is a little bit problematic. I don't expect to find a lover, as long as we can live together."

Ning Qiubai and Xia Zhou grew up together, so of course they know what Xia Zhou's so-called "character defect" refers to.

In layman's terms, it means low emotional intelligence.

And it's not so low, it's as low as Xia Zhou's outstanding appearance and grades, so far he can be single.

When Xia Zhou was young, when he was instructing his friends on the questions, he would ask very puzzled, "Can you not know such a simple question?", so angry that others almost wanted to fight him;

Later, Xia Zhou's parents had a fierce quarrel and almost divorced. Xia Zhou took out his computer and seriously analyzed the distribution of property and custody rights after the divorce to his parents. Dad's private money, Xia Zhou's mother's high-end clothing, etc. were all revealed, making the couple dumbfounded, but fortunately they reconciled in the end.

The point is that Xia Zhou didn't have any malicious intentions. He really didn't know what to say, what not to say, and the occasion to say it.

This led to the fact that there are many children of the same age in his hometown, and the only good relationship with Xia Zhou is Ning Qiubai, who has a strong heart and resists pressure.

Ning Qiubai didn't hold out hope for this young boy's EQ, he just sighed deeply: "You don't plan to buy a car and then find a girlfriend, do you?"

"Of course. According to my current salary and development prospects, if I'm lucky, I can consider it at the age of 30... But it also needs to be combined with the curve of housing prices and living standards at that time..."

"Stop, stop." Ning Qiubai begged for mercy, "Brother Zhou, let's change the topic to something less realistic."

Xia Zhou laughed again: "You will definitely earn more than me in the future, why are you still in such a panic? Although I don't know much about the film and television industry, since your movies can be shown in theaters, you won't even be able to afford a house Bar."

"It also depends on the specific situation." Ning Qiubai really wanted to say that he would spend thousands of dollars to buy meat for himself and Heilong every day. If it wasn't for his income, he would be bankrupt now.

I don't know how much it will cost in the follow-up... Gu Sanqiqi's mission was finally completed a month ago, and Ning Qiubai got two more places to receive NPCs, but he hasn't decided whether to accept it yet.

When Ning Qiubai was mentioned, Xia Zhou naturally changed the subject: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Ning Qiubai shook his head honestly.

"Aren't the actors all a group of young and beautiful girls? There is no suitable one?" Xia Zhou glanced at Ning Qiubai's expression, and said clearly, "You don't even bother to find a girlfriend, do you?"

Ning Qiubai retorted forcefully: "This kind of thing depends on fate. When fate comes, I don't need to look for it."

Xia Zhou laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed Ning Qiubai's head: "What kind do you like, I will introduce you when I meet the right one."

Ning Qiubai curled her lips: "I am more resistant to living with another person for the time being."

Sheng Ming left a lot of psychological shadow on him.

While swiping his phone, Xia Zhou suddenly asked, "Is this the lead actor in your movie? He has a background."

"What's wrong?" Ning Qiubai poked his head over.

Xia Zhou showed Ning Qiubai a piece of entertainment news:

"Liu Huamei is Suspected to Have a Romance with Newcomer Sheng Ming".

The focus of the gossip in this report is obviously Liu Huamei, scheming to imply that Liu Huamei spared no effort to promote "Fantasy Dragon" in order to create momentum for her little boyfriend.After all, it was only about singing a theme song, and Liu Huamei was more concerned about promoting her idol drama.

Not to mention, the photos secretly taken by the reporter can really show the feeling that Liu Huamei and Sheng Ming have known each other for a long time.

Ning Qiubai is particularly familiar with this background—isn't this the opening ceremony of "Fantasy Dragon"?

The report is still being picked up. From the aspects of Sheng Ming's unobtrusive style but obviously custom-made, and the green light of various processes, it is guessed that there should be someone behind Sheng Ming. This person is likely to be the wealthy director Ning Qiu with a more mysterious background. white.

"The super-rich director" himself: "...a load of nonsense."

Of course Xia Zhou knew Ning Qiubai's background, and said with a smile, "Since you are not from this Sheng Ming's background, it means that Sheng Ming himself is really not simple... I hope Liu Huamei will not be unkind to others."

Ning Qiubai glanced at the background of Xia Zhou's phone - the photo of Liu Huamei's sweet smile - and said clearly: "So you like this?"

Xia Zhou coughed and argued for himself: "I just regard Liu Huamei as an idol... I can't say I am an idol, I just hope that Liu Huamei's work will be smooth, and I will find a reliable and reliable person when I fall in love."

"So you're still a mother's fan." Ning Qiubai said "tsk tsk" twice, "You really don't look like you, Xia Zhou."

"What mother fan?" Xia Zhou couldn't understand the jargon, so he only clicked on the photo of Sheng Ming in the report, and said seriously, "Although this person looks handsome, he is not serious at first glance! I don't know how messy he is behind his back ! Qiu Bai, you remember to stay away from him, don't be led astray."

Ning Qiubai twitched the corners of his mouth, but gave up rectifying Sheng Ming's name: "Okay."

I can't reason with fans. I'm afraid that Xia Zhou, who has an eight-meter-thick Liu Thrush filter, looks at Shengming just like an old father looking at his son-in-law.

He was thankful in his heart that Xia Zhou only visited Sheng Ming once after he moved, and he never met Sheng Ming.

Ning Qiubai suddenly remembered that when he was forced to listen to gossip in the book of choice, the book of choice mentioned the matter between Du Zigui and Liu Huamei, so he said euphemistically: "It's normal for Liu Huamei to fall in love at this age, even if you don't Sheng Ming, there will be others."

Xia Zhou stared at the background of the phone, and nodded with a serious expression: "I've expected it, but I hope it's not this kind of frivolous guy who will just go to other people's house and live with him."

Ning Qiubai: "...you are right."

……

Ning Qiubai and Xia Zhou's hometown is in City D. When they came out of the station, they saw Xia Zhou's mother waiting outside.

Xia Zhou's mother's surname is Liu, she has fashionable curly hair, and holds two bottles of water in her hands. She kindly handed them to the two young men, and said cheerfully to Ning Qiubai: "Your uncle was also here to pick you up, I said No, I'll just take it back together. Come, drink some water."

Ning Qiubai knew that it was because she was afraid that she would feel sad when she saw that no one came to pick him up, so there was a warm current in her heart, and she also smiled and said, "Then trouble Uncle Xia and Aunt Liu."

Aunt Liu was a kindergarten teacher when she was young. Although she has not retired yet, her work has become very leisurely. Years of dealing with children have honed her good temper and strong desire to communicate.

When Ning Qiubai returned to his uncle's community, every old neighbor he met on the way would greet him cordially and enthusiastically, and the content would all be "Xiaobai has made a fortune. I heard that your movie will be released soon. We must watch it then." Ning Qiubai could only nod in embarrassment.

When registering for the movie, he clearly filled in the "stage name" of Zai Huanying instead of his real name, but all the acquaintances in his hometown knew it!

Without him needing to speak, Aunt Liu was already proudly showing off Ning Qiubai's excellence to every neighbor, as if Ning Qiubai was her own son.

Xia Zhou suppressed a smile, and said to Ning Qiubai in a low voice: "Don't mind, my mother has this temper."

Ning Qiubai glanced at him helplessly.

He knew that Aunt Liu really regarded him as a junior, so of course she would not be unhappy.It's just that Xia Zhou, who leaked the news, is mostly to blame for the current situation!

"You didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Ning Qiubai also whispered, "You think your parents won't urge you to find a girlfriend?"

Xia Zhou generously admitted: "It's a little bit less urgent."

"traitor!"

When Ning Qiubai knocked on the door of his uncle's house, the smile on his face almost froze.

Seeing Ning Qiubai's appearance, Ning Qiubai's aunt immediately understood: "It's unlucky for you to come back. It's almost dinner time, and everyone is walking back. Of course they have to say hello when they see you."

Ning Qiubai threw himself onto the sofa and said loudly: "If I knew it earlier, I would have returned at night."

My aunt brought out the casserole from the kitchen. Seeing that Ning Qiubai was about to get up to pick it up, she hurriedly moved out of the way: "Sit down! Just go home and have a good rest. Your uncle picked up your cousin and cousin, and after eating together, turn around I have to go see your grandfather."

Ning Qiubai didn't force it, just smiled and leaned on the sofa: "I don't know if grandpa will beat me up."

"Your grandfather lost his temper when he heard that you were going to be a director, but we asked your uncle to persuade you, but your grandfather didn't allow it, and asked me to ask Xia Zhou in private, are you short of money? And..." My aunt chattered about the household chores, setting out plates of dishes, which made Ning Qiubai feel even more warm in his heart.

After his parents passed away one after another, his grandparents, uncle and his family made up for his bereavement, allowing him to study, take the college entrance examination, and go to university smoothly like a normal child.

When uncle came back, they ate a home-cooked meal together, and then went to grandpa's house together.

After chatting with the two old men, Ning Qiubai took out a stack of movie exchange tickets from his bag: "The company gave me a lot of movie tickets, uncle, grandpa, you can use them if you want to watch them, our cinema here can be used.”

Grandpa said with a straight face, as if a little unhappy: "Leave it alone, let's see if I can think about it."

Grandma smiled and exposed her wife: "The old man has already bought the ticket, but I didn't expect you to get another set."

Grandpa's beard moved and he let out a heavy "hum".

The uncle laughed and said to Ning Qiubai: "Fortunately, your aunt said not to rush to buy it, so as not to crash the car. Since Dad bought it, let's go and see it together."

Ning Qiubai felt ashamed of being read a composition in public, but he still nodded without disappointment: "Okay."

After this topic passed, the focus of the family soon returned to Ning Qiubai.

On behalf of all Chinese New Year relatives, my uncle sent out the three questions of the soul: "Have you found a girlfriend? Bring it back to show at home? When will you get married? Xiaobai is different now, you have to find a beautiful one!"

Ning Qiubai flashed out his shield and said, "Work is the most important thing now."

Sheng Ming seems to be the prettiest person he has come into contact with in recent months... Ning Qiubai couldn't restrain his thoughts.I have to say that Sheng Ming's face is really good-looking, and half of his character's credit for not being beaten to death is definitely due to this face.

"Work doesn't delay dating. If there is a suitable one, you should take the initiative. The little girls in the entertainment industry have a high vision..."

At this moment, grandpa interjected: "I don't care if I look for it in the circle, just look at what hairstyle Xiaobai has now!"

Ning Qiubai smiled awkwardly.

His current hairstyle is not strange, but his hair has grown a lot, and only part of the back of his head has been cut. The bangs and the hair on the top of his head are fluffy, which makes the old man feel particularly "non-mainstream".

Ning Qiubai knew that in the eyes of his grandfather, a crew cut was the hairstyle a man should have, but he had to grow his hair long to cover the branches and buds of the mist tree.

If it weren't for the bad meaning, he would even want to dye his hair green.

Having lived with the Misty Wood for so long, Ning Qiubai has been able to control the Misty Wood very flexibly, and only about two centimeters of buds will be exposed under extreme conditions.This requires him to grow his hair a little longer to cover it, or else he has to wear a hat.

In order to avoid this topic, Ning Qiubai quickly took out a small box from his arms: "This is the amulet I brought to my grandpa and grandma. You can hang it at home."

Grandpa took a look and frowned: "Why such a shape, it looks like a skeleton."

Grandma smiled and said: "Young people like this."

Ning Qiubai smiled awkwardly.

There is no way, this is an undead item exchanged by Bone Sanqiqi from the system, so it can only be kept in this state.Although it is an undead prop, it has the attribute of "anti-undead". It can absorb the dark atmosphere around it, and it will shatter on its own after absorbing it.

The role in the real world is probably to hang it at home to make the home full of yang, especially where the elderly live.

It's a pity that although he is an "administrator", the authority to modify the rules can only be used in the copy, unlike Sheng Ming, who can use it anywhere.

……

Ning Qiubai stayed at Grandpa's house at night, and the room for him was still reserved.

Ning Qiubai lay on the soft and clean bed, thinking of the NPCs who stayed in the dungeon to watch the house.

The people in my hometown are all ordinary people. Ning Qiubai didn't intend to set up a dungeon entrance here, so he could only let the most mature-looking Gu Sanqiqi act as a surrogate parent to restrain the group of problem children.

...is it really all right?

Ning Qiubai glanced at the comment area of ​​Huanying, and found that the little black dragon was in a high-intensity matchup, so he opened the account and tapped on the little black dragon's account: "Did anything happen today?"

The little black dragon quickly replied: "Nothing happened! I obediently ate only one portion of meat!"

"What about the others?"

"The three-headed monster broke the coffee table, and the bone frame tied the three-headed monster to scratch the soles of the feet, and nothing else."

Ning Qiubai's heartache flashed for a moment, and then he comforted himself that the coffee table in the dungeon could be reset: "Where are the songs and the book of choice?"

"They read a novel all day today and didn't go out."

Ning Qiubai was a little relieved, and planned to recharge some money for this well-behaved and sensible pair of babies.

Little Black Dragon soon sent another message: "Hei Xin Shu said that Sheng Ming came to see you today, but he went back when you were not at home."

Ning Qiubai was taken aback: "Why does Sheng Ming want me?"

"How would I know!"

Ning Qiubai knew it was useless to ask, to confirm that everything was safe at home, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that when he went back, he could see that everything was safe in the dungeon.

His mind drifted to Sheng Ming.

Why did Sheng Ming come to him suddenly... Could it be that he finally felt that he was going to ask for a reward and planned to go back on his word?

But to find him, why not call him, but go through the book of choice?It's not because Sheng Ming has already blocked his number, right?Why do you look like a primary school student...

Grandma urged him to turn off the lights and go to bed outside the room, but Ning Qiubai couldn't keep the lights on all night in the frugal old man's house, so he had to turn off the lights, lay down on the bed as quickly as possible, and fell asleep.

In the dream, Ning Qiubai dreamed of Sheng Ming. The six-year-old, 15-year-old and three versions of Sheng Ming stood in front of him and asked him, "Which one do you like?"

Ning Qiubai was dazed and didn't know how to answer, so he saw the 15-year-old version of Sheng Ming and said sternly: "If you don't like it, there are other choices."

Ning Qiubai raised his head and saw Sheng Ming get out of the way, revealing the long line behind him—from a baby biting a pacifier to an 80-year-old grizzled man, all of them had the same face with different expressions, eighty Two voices scrambled to open their mouths and said:

"Choose me for love, I'm super sweet!"

……

--No!

Ning Qiubai woke up from the dream, touching his forehead, covered in cold sweat.

Grandma was sitting beside his bed, looking at him with worried eyes: "Xiaobai, did you have a nightmare?"

Ning Qiubai regained his composure, recalling the eighty Shengming in his dream, he couldn't help shivering: "Well, grandma, why are you in my room?"

"Wake you up for breakfast." Grandma asked, "I heard you calling 'Sheng Ming don't want' in your dream. Who is that?"

"..." Ning Qiubai gave a dry laugh.He didn't even know that he had the habit of talking in his sleep.

He said nonsense, "It's a colleague of mine, a troublemaker who stabs people everywhere."

Grandma shook her head, sighed, and couldn't help rambling: "Yueyue was busy day and night at the beginning. Although you value work, you have to take care of yourself..."

After saying a few words, the old man patted his forehead, "I forgot, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat."

……

Because of the nightmare last night, Ning Qiubai looked a little tired today, and his grandfather rejected the proposal to go to other relatives' homes to say hello, so that Ning Qiubai could relax and relax.

Ning Qiubai thought about it, put on a coat and went out, planning to go for a walk in a nearby park.

Not long after entering the park, he saw his cousin Ning Yan.

Ning Qiubai's uncle chose a very simple and rude name, his son was named Ning Huohuo, and his daughter was named Ning Shuishui.After Ning Huohuo went to junior high school, she felt that her name was too rustic, so she changed it to Ning Yan, and Ning Shuishui to Ning Bing, but the family still used to call it "Huohuo" and "Shuishui".

Seeing Ning Yan sneaking into the bushes, Ning Qiubai was a little curious, and carefully approached, not letting Ning Yan find out.

Ning Yan is fifteen this year, just in the first year of high school, at the age of making troubles.He looked around to see if there was no one, took out a mobile phone from his arms, and muttered for a while.

Ning Qiubai only saw that the space in front of Ning Yan suddenly distorted, and then a big bat about one meter long and half a meter high appeared!

The moment the bat appeared, Ning Qiubai felt his instinctive reaction from Qiwumu: That's something from an unreal game!

What the hell?

"Fire, be careful!"

Ning Qiubai didn't care about being exposed, and rushed forward quickly, pulling Ning Yan behind him!
