Middle-aged Love Patch

The two went to the Sichuan restaurant and ordered two dishes and one soup. Shi Yue looked thin, and felt like there was a hole in her body when she ate.

Xu Youyuan filled a bowl of soup and sat across from her, watching Shi Yuetian eat two bowls of rice slowly, mouthful after mouthful without stopping, almost cleaning up all the dishes.

Shocked, Xu Youyuan turned on the ordering screen, intending to order two more dishes.

"Don't." Shi Yue stopped, "I'm full, don't order, it's a waste."

"Really? I think you can fight for at least two more rounds."

"My appetite is not small, but I'm not a pig... I've had enough, and I should have leftovers. But you, just drink a bowl of soup? So reserved."

"Some time ago, I often ordered takeaway food at night, but I didn't eat too much. I weighed three catties on the scale. What else do I eat? Just be honest."

"That's right, you used to have a fat-prone physique." Shi Yue also filled a bowl of soup, giggling.

Xu Youyuan squinted at her: "Spit me out. Now you dare to eat like this because you are young and have a fast metabolism. Try again when you are 30? It will blow you up like a football."

"Then I have to risk my life to eat now."

Xu Youyuan smiled, and saw at a glance that the back of her hand holding the bowl had turned from red to purple, and it looked more serious.

Xu Youyuan asked her to wait a while, got up and went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine, and handed it to her: "This medicine is very effective, I have tested it myself, rub it every two hours, don't rub it too hard, or it will hurt. It can be cured after three days of rubbing."

Shi Yue thanked and accepted it.

Xu Youyuan saw that the meal was about the same, so she suggested to go back.

There was a bowl of boiled fish on the table next door. When it was served, the oil blossoms sizzled, and I looked at it intently from time to time, obviously hungry.

Xu Youyuan really didn't expect that the child's appetite was unexpectedly good, and there was room in his stomach when he bought a medicine.

Seeing the appearance of other people's dishes was really pitiful, so I also ordered one for her.

When the boiled fish was served, Shiyue enjoyed the first two bites, but it became more and more difficult from the third bite, and the eating speed became slower and slower.

"Okay, let's leave it if you can't eat it." The child has a whim, but it's just greedy, and it may not be able to eat it all, "Don't force yourself, you won't be able to sleep at night if you eat too much. "

Shi Yue covered her mouth and burped lightly, put down her chopsticks, and asked the waiter to pack.

Xu Youyuan wanted to pay the bill, so she scanned the QR code on the ordering screen, and it reminded her that the bill had already been paid.

"When did it end?"

"Let's go." Shi Yue didn't answer her question, and was about to leave with the packing box.

"I agreed to treat you." Xu Youyuan followed behind.

"I have far-sighted plans." Shi Yue turned her head and said in a sly tone, "I'll invite you to take advantage of this time. It will be more cost-effective to treat me to a big meal when Sister Bird returns to her peak next time."

Seeing her smug look, Xu Youyuan asked abruptly, "So you thought about ordering the boiled fish later on? You also ordered it together?"

Shi Yue's eyes were rounded, she didn't feel guilty at all, instead she smiled, as sweetly as ever, and walked out happily.

Xu Youyuan walked behind, a little dumbfounded.

Is it so hard just to stay a little longer?

When I got in the car, Yue suggested to eat some desserts to refresh myself.

Xu Youyuan really can't continue to hang out outside, the pet shop where Ah Shuang is fostered is open until eleven o'clock in the evening, she has to hurry up and pick up Ah Shuang, otherwise it will cost half a day to pick up Ah Shuang tomorrow.

Shi Yue: "Ah Shuang? Is it the one I found in your community back then?"

After being reminded by her like this, all the past events that I almost forgot came to mind: "Yes, that's it."

At the beginning, Shiyue often came to Xu Youyuan's house to make up lessons, and arrived at a fixed o'clock every day. One day, she was half an hour late and didn't show up. Xu Youyuan was a little worried, so she went out to look for it.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Yue holding a heavy big cardboard box, unable to see the way, walking forwards upside down.

Inside the cardboard box were three puppies huddled together.

"Where did you pick it up?" Xu Youyuan easily carried the cardboard box and put it on the ground.

"In the grass in front." Shi Yue's face was blushing, and she excitedly lifted up the schoolbag hanging on her arm, "They are very pitiful, mom doesn't know where they are. Sister, I want to give them something to eat. "

Xu Youyuan turned over, but the three milk dogs didn't respond, they were all dead.

She looked at Xiao Yue, and for a moment didn't know how to speak to her.

"What's wrong." Shi Yue sensed the abnormality very keenly, and immediately squatted down to check.

"There seems to be something wrong with them. I'll move them into the house to have a look."

Shi Yue immediately followed, Xu Youyuan took all the puppies out, and wiped them all over with a warm towel, but there was still no movement.

Shi Yue watched quietly without crying, her big eyes gradually turned red.

Xu Youyuan couldn't see the little girl crying, so she searched on her mobile phone, brought an electric heater over to raise the temperature first, massaged her back and patted her chest, one of the little paws actually twitched.

"It moved!" Shi Yue was pleasantly surprised.

The other two were indeed dead. The remaining one was quickly sent to the animal hospital and survived. It is now Ah Shuang.

Shi Yue's family did not allow pets, Xu Youyuan saw that the little milk dog managed to save its life, and couldn't bear to throw it away, so she adopted it.Later, when I went to work in the headquarters, I took it with me and took care of it all the time.

It's been more than ten years, Ah Shuang is old, and Xu Youyuan almost forgot that Xiao Yue picked it up.

Shi Yue: "Then I have to go and see it, where is the pet shop, please reserve a spot."

Xu Youyuan fixed the location, Shi Yue turned on the music, and drove to the western suburbs.

Xu Youyuan glanced at the playlist, all of which were old songs she listened to when she was a child: "Your taste is quite novel, so retro."

"Although I am born in the 10s, the psychological tests I have done all say that my mental age is 40 years old."

"Do you believe in psychological tests?"

"Believe."

"It means you are still a child."

Shi Yue: "..."

The road to the western suburbs is far away, and half of the roads out of the city are red in the navigation map.Xu Youyuan suggested to take the highway at the next exit and take another road faster.

"Which exit?" Shi Yue asked after a long while.

"...the exit that has just passed."

"Oh. Is there another exit to go?"

"There is an exit after five kilometers, go back around seven kilometers."

"Then it's better to keep going forward. I guess there must be an accident ahead, so it's so blocked. Just pass it. According to the slowest speed, it will definitely arrive at eleven o'clock, don't worry."

Shi Yue sang along with the old songs, toasting the sun and the moonlight with a glass, she didn't care about the congestion at all, and she was in a good mood.

Sure enough, at 45:[-], it was time for the pet store to close.

In the house inside, Ah Shuang only took one look at Xu Youyuan through the fence, and then began to scream excitedly, wagging her tail wildly in the rhythm of demolishing the house.

The clerk took Ah Shuang out and handed it over to the owner. Ah Shuang happily clinged to Xu Youyuan, and could spare some energy to smell Shiyue, and even stepped forward to paw her.

"A Shuang, sit down." Xu Youyuan ordered while tugging on the leash.

"It seems that she still knows me." Shi Yue touched Ah Shuang's big head.

"It's short-sighted. It's like this to everyone. Don't take it to heart."

Shi Yue: "..."

Leading Ah Shuang and the dog to the downstairs of the unit, Xu Youyuan held the suitcase in one hand and pulled Ah Shuang in the other, thinking that under normal circumstances, Shi Yue should be invited to sit down.If it wasn't for her tonight, I don't know when I could get a taxi.

But the relationship between her and Shi Yue is a bit sensitive, and she invites someone who has a relationship with her to visit her home alone in the middle of the night... Adults, don't play dumb, this is a very obvious hint, she is afraid that Shi Yue will misunderstand.

Xu Youyuan was hesitating what to say, how to end tonight, Shi Yue's cell phone seemed to be ringing, she picked it up to answer, it seemed to be a matter of work, she waved to Xu Youyuan while talking, and went to the community go outside.

It really saved Xu Youyuan's trouble.

Shiyue, this brat, you say she is sensible, you can't wait to get her tendons cramped; you say she is skinny, most of the time she advances and retreats properly, it is not easy to really get angry and hold her grudges.

Xu Youyuan took the elevator upstairs, and when she got home, the suitcase hadn't been opened yet, she went to the window and looked down, she couldn't find Shiyue's car in the decaying darkness.

When Xu Youyuan went to take a shower and came back, there was a WeChat notification on the computer screen.

She sat down wiping her wet long hair and turned on the voice.

Shi Yue: "Do you want to get up early tomorrow?"

When Xu Youyuan added her as a friend, she discovered that she actually used her real name as her nickname on WeChat. Her profile picture was still a bright red peony flower with green leaves as the background color. Where is the post-10 generation? There are not many people who are so simple.

Did the child misunderstand the aunts?It's too much to pretend to be mature.

Xu Youyuan replied with a smile that Shi Yue couldn't see: "The unemployed don't need to get up early."

Shi Yue quickly replied: "Then when I get home, go to the dark room."

Xu Youyuan asked: "I don't go to work and you don't either?"

After sending it out, Xu Youyuan went to blow-dry her hair, and when Yue came back after blow-drying, she went to feed Ah Shuang before she replied.

It was nearly one o'clock in the morning, Shiyue finally replied to WeChat, with two simple words "online".

Xu Youyuan entered the dark room, and when she was online, Yue sent a date invitation. After Xu Youyuan "agreed", a huge amount of seawater poured in all around her. It is blocked by an arched wall of thick glass.

Schools of various marine fish swim peacefully behind the glass, and Xu Youyuan found herself in an aquarium, surrounded by children from time to time holding their parents' hands and frolicking through, as well as dating couples coming and going.

There was soothing music playing in the venue, which was a little different from the scenes she had been in before.

The vampire was standing in the crowd and was smiling at her. This appearance was still familiar, but for some reason, it partially overlapped with Shi Yue's real appearance.

Xu Youyuan knew that all the appearances were based on the user's original pinched face.I didn't notice before, it turned out that Shi Yue also made her face according to her real facial features.

"If you don't sleep so late, how many cups of coffee do you want tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay, young people are not afraid of sleepiness."

"Even if you are young, if you are not afraid of baldness, you should also be afraid of sudden death."

"Sister, please do me a favor, don't curse me."

Xu Youyuan, who was still dressed in the most civilian attire, and Shi Yue, who had a gorgeous vampire appearance and carried a sense of freshness wherever she went, were next to each other, and the surrounding npcs turned their heads and stared at them secretly.

Xu Youyuan felt it very keenly: "They are not NPCs, but all players?"

Shi Yue: "That's right, this place is the same as the Titanic where we went on a blind date. It is a public space, an open dating scene that can accommodate 20 people online at the same time. You have made up your mind to unlock all achievements with me. As a senior Players, there are some precautions that should be explained to you, so prepare well in advance."

Shi Yue took her to the entrance of the aquarium, and unfolded the bulletin board, which was the announcement of the new season in the dark room.

"The qualifiers had already started when I was looking for you last time, and the deadline is one and a half months later, we still have time to advance." Shi Yue said, "This is the first season of the dark room, and the winner is only one team. In addition to being the first couple account to unlock all achievements, there are many other rewards. Such as a unique dating scene and a couple's high-end appearance, this appearance alone is enough to command a sky-high price on Caps."

"Wait a minute, do you mean that we not only need to clear the customs by ourselves, but also defeat our competitors?"

"Yes. So you really didn't read the game announcement at all."

Xu Youyuan wanted to see it, but the mailbox was full of messy gifts from whoever it was, and when she opened it, all of them exploded, blinding her eyes.

A scantily clad game elf appeared and introduced the precautions for the new season to Xu Youyuan.

The dating scene in the dark room is divided into three major themes, adventure theme, horror theme and love theme. All themes are divided into 5 scenes with progressive difficulty.

The two of them have already passed through the first scene of the adventure theme, and they have already obtained the qualification to enter the second stage.

The first three scenes are regarded as qualifiers, and there are no competitors. Except for the two or two teams of players, all the scenes are NPCs. They are only scored by survival and difficulty coefficients, and there is no competition.

Only the teams with a difficulty score of 3 or more in the first three scenes of the three themes can enter the competition in the last two stages.The three major theme scenes in the competition stage are all disrupted and randomly generated by the official.In the competition, the teams will face cruel elimination, and only one team can win in the end and become the championship of the first season.

Before the game wizard Jiao Didi's voice finished the introduction, Xu Youyuan had already glanced at the bulletin board and understood all the rules.

Therefore, the purpose of the developers of the dark box is very clear. As a dating app, simply selling appearance and traffic can no longer satisfy the ambitions of the developers. They began to look for the direction of transformation and gradually moved closer to the game.

The first season that has already started is to explore the way for the transformation.

Xu Youyuan is not afraid of competition. As a game producer and experienced player, she is very confident.

but……

Xu Youyuan pointed to the big characters "Love Theme" and asked Shi Yue: "What does the Love Theme mean?"

"Let's fall in love." Shi Yue thought she was asking too much.

"...I can read, so I want to ask, this love theme is two team members falling in love in a team? How to score the love? How to compete when entering the competition stage?"

"It's probably to see who has a good relationship and a wonderful talk."

"Listen to your nonsense, there must be criteria for judging." Xu Youyuan beckoned for the game elf to come over, talk to her, and understand the entire competition system.

Shi Yue sat on the bench and squinted, watching the huge white whale floating in the sky, and the penguins galloping past like cannonballs.

Looking at the sky for a while, and looking at Xu Youyuan's back for a while, she secretly smiled.

Xu Youyuan looked back at her with a strange look in her eyes.

"Huh?" Shi Yue raised her eyebrows, feeling guilty of being exposed for voyeurism.But Xu Youyuan's back is facing her, so she shouldn't be able to notice.

"The participating teams must be two people, right?" Xu Youyuan asked her.

Shi Yue nodded.

"That's really embarrassing you."

Shi Yue: "?"

"Didn't you say that you have unlocked all the other achievements, except the adventure-themed double missions? So you have already unlocked the horror theme and the love theme with others. Now if you combine with me, it will not affect your previous achievements." result?"

Facing Xu Youyuan's soul torture, Shi Yue completely froze for a few seconds.

"Huh?" Xu Youyuan walked towards her with great interest, and found that she really didn't move, and soon her whole body turned gray.

Actually offline.

Xu Youyuan laughed out loud.

A few seconds later, Shi Yue came back again and asked Xu Youyuan: "My sister called. What did you just say?"

"It's nothing." Xu Youyuan leaned back in her chair, her heart filled with childish joy of victory.

This kind of childishness made her nostalgic. After entering the society for so many years, the KPI is always hanging above her head.

Only when I was a student was I so unscrupulous, and I could be proud and happy about little things.
