【Zhou Xiang】The Tropic

1.

Sister-in-law? ? ?

Zhou Zekai moved a position to the left silently, the meaning was obvious: whoever has the number will get back.

Whoever dug the pit will return? !Sun Xiang, who was put together, wanted to hit someone.

But he still remembered that Zhou Zekai kindly took him in, so he didn't bother to care about it: "Hahaha, this year's netizens are really brainy!"

After laughing dryly, he sat down in front of his laptop and regained control of the account.This was something worth celebrating, however, the person whose fingers were hanging on the keyboard for a long time became himself.

Sun Xiang was struggling fiercely.

There are three options before him:

1. Admitting that I did not play well in the first half minute

2. Acknowledge the existence of "sister-in-law"

3. Don’t say anything, go offline and play dead

How to respond?

First of all, Sun Xiang himself was very curious.

On the other hand, the instigator himself seemed silent, but his gaze fixed on the screen revealed all the secrets.

Sensing that gaze, Sun Xiang secretly ground his teeth: You are unkind and I am unrighteous.

……

After half a minute.

Under Zhou Zekai's gaze, he vigorously typed a line: "How do you know? Proud.jpg"

Brother Xiang can't cook, and it's definitely not Brother Xiang who cooks.

Anyway, across the Internet, who knows who ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Zhou Zekai: ...

2.

After successfully saving face, Sun Xiang temporarily ignored Zhou Zekai's reaction, and hurriedly explained something to the other side.

It probably means that his chat history just now was seen by the female ticket, so it is inconvenient for this team to continue forming.He is very busy and wants to accompany the girl to recharge the ticket in cash.The mountains are high and the water is long, goodbye in the rivers and lakes.

Being ruthlessly abandoned by the thigh that was just hugged, it would be a lie to say no regrets.But if you disturb someone's love, you will be kicked by the dog. This truth is understood by everyone.Therefore, he sincerely sent his blessings for the early birth of a precious son, and replied 886 in a chic manner.

At this point, the Chaocai dungeon team was disbanded under Sun Xiang's plan.

"What about the dungeon?" Zhou Zekai spoke only at this time.There was a slight worry in his calm tone, as if he was not the one who was turned back by Sun Xiang just now.

Sun Xiang felt a little guilty: "Don't bother, find a stronger team later."

But Zhou Zekai said, "Either way."

"what?"

"I'll build an account. Form a team."

Sun Xiang suddenly raised his head: "Wait, do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhou Zekai: "Yes."

Sun Xiang let go of the mouse, turned around and looked at Zhou Zekai seriously: "No. I have to log in every day and form a team with me, which means I have to go online every day. It doesn't happen overnight. If you are so busy, you can time?"

Zhou Zekai's understanding seems to be different: "Well, two people are more efficient."

The light from the wall lamp reflected in Zhou Zekai's dark eyes, adding a touch of softness to him.Their eyes met, and Sun Xiang couldn't help but recall the look in Zhou Zekai's eyes when he discussed tactical coordination with him in Samsara's late-night training room.

Sun Xiang was fascinated for a moment, and nodded: "Then... alright!"

3.

Five minutes later, the two added game friends to each other across a wall.

The most speechless thing happened to Sun Xiang.

Zhou Zekai not only chose sharpshooter, an old profession that has declined, but also named his account card ZzK1124.

Sun: ...Aren't you afraid of being caught asking if it's you? ?

Zzk1124: There is no duplicate name, and the popularity has dissipated.not afraid.

Sun: It makes sense.

The Lord doesn't worry, and Sun Xiang doesn't even bother to worry.He threw a team invitation: "Quick, quick."

It took about an hour for Sun Xiang to take Zhou Zekai to brush up to one turn and finish the daily work.After reaching level 50, it is enough to enter the dungeon level, but the equipment score is not enough.The two of them were walking in the market, planning to make Zhou Zekai a passable purple outfit, saving this guy the time to research and ponder on his own.

Just around the corner, a directional message suddenly popped up on the "nearby" channel.

Yeguiren 9802: I whisper to you: Brother!What a coincidence!

Sun Xiang was drinking water and almost sprayed half of the keyboard.

You quietly said to Yeguiren 9802: What a coincidence...

Yeguiren 9802 whispers to you: Is the sharpshooter on your right your sister-in-law?squint smile.jpg

Sun Xiang didn't want to admit it at first, but by accident, he called: Hehe.

The opposite side is excited instantly.

Yeguiren 9802 quietly said to you:! ! !

Yeguiren 9802 quietly said to you: Sharpshooter, damn it!Brother, are you serious?This sewer profession is no longer popular! OMG!What is it about a male number?You don't plan to get married in the game?

Only then did Sun Xiang realize what it means to tell a lie, and it takes a hundred yuan.He bit the bullet and replied vaguely: It's nothing, as long as people are happy.

Yeguiren 9802 quietly said to you: Yes, haha!By the way bro!I happen to have a sharpshooter's necklace in my warehouse, and I probably won't be able to sell it. Brother, give it to my sister-in-law as a meeting gift!

Sun Xiang hurriedly refused: How embarrassing!no, I'm fine!

Unexpectedly, the friend on the opposite side might have taken the same medicine as Zhou Zekai - a medicine that didn't follow the rules.Half a minute after Sun Xiang's message was sent, he replied proudly: I just added my sister-in-law as a friend, and the deal is done directly!And said brother, you specially asked us to be filial, can this be done?grin.jpg

Sun Xiang took several deep breaths before he could calmly type: Yes.

4.

Sure enough, almost at the same time, Zhou Zekai's private chat popped up on the interface.

ZzK1124: [Amulet: Blessing of Extreme Cold] attribute is very good.Thanks.

Sun Xiang saw that the little best was indeed suitable for the early development of a sharpshooter, and he couldn't help feeling that Zhou Zekai was lucky.But right now, he is not so thick-skinned to accept the thanks from others.

Sun: It was given by someone who returned home at night.no need to thank me.

Fortunately, Zhou Zekai did not continue to delve into it, and instead continued with the previous topic of purple equipment configuration.This little episode passed with the acquiescence of the two.

The sharpshooter finished all the parts and finally reached the dungeon score line.Sun Xiang looked at the time in the lower right corner, and realized that it was already 1:[-] in the morning, so he yawned involuntarily.

He sent a message to Zhou Zekai: Let's stop here today, it's getting late, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.

He originally had the second half of the sentence, and wanted to ask which one to use in the bathroom.As a result, the opposite party returned quickly as if he could predict his thinking.

Zzk1124: The guest room has a bathroom, and the supplies are in the wall cabinet.

Sun Xiang laughed and complained again: Evil capitalism.He closed the notebook, got up stretched, passed by the door of the study, stopped, and knocked lightly on the door frame.

The door was not closed, and Zhou Zekai met his gaze as soon as he turned around.

Sun Xiang blinked in a good mood, and said half-jokingly: Thank you, the host, for your hospitality, and I wish you good night.Bye-Bye!

Zhou Zekai was taken aback for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled: Good night.

5.

Sun Xiang's eyelids were already battling before he went to bed, but he still held his nerve and decided to check social software for the last time to check whether there was any important information missing-this is a habit he developed after retiring.

"What the hell?" He rubbed his eyes, staring in a daze at a discussion group "Love Reincarnation Love Shuangyi" that was added to the QQ list at some time.

The bubbling members seem to be, without exception, ex-teammates.The chat history is already 999+, and it is still refreshing.

It was too troublesome to look through the records, so Sun Xiang immediately threw three question marks in the discussion group.

His bubbling made the already active group boil instantly.

Countless lines of punctuation, emoticons, and questions rolled before Sun Xiang's eyes, making him dazzled.He dragged back and forth, barely catching a line with the thickest and brightest font, from Du Ming——

"Sun Xiang, you kidnapped Zhou Zekai in the middle of the night without saying a word, and this time is suspicious. Quickly explain what you did to him!"

Sun Xiang was stunned.

He collected himself, a guess popped up in his mind, and immediately cut to the list of group members.Sure enough, this group perfectly copied today's party lineup, except Zhou Zekai.

Sun Xiang was a little speechless: "No, you deliberately created a group without Zhou Zekai, just because I'm going with him today? What's all this about?"

"We suspect you of plotting against him."

"It may also be that he is plotting against you."

"It may also hit it off and rekindle the old relationship."

Lu Boyuan, Du Ming, and Wu Qi formed a very neat formation as if they had been rehearsed.

Fang Minghua, the only person in the know, posted six points.

Jiang Botao explained: "We're going to a KTV booth later. I haven't seen you for almost a year. I drank too much. Everyone is a little too excited. I'm sorry."

What he said was extremely ingenious, and he diverted Sun Xiang's attention instantly, and even prayed for the effect of arousing his guilt.

"No no. I left temporarily and didn't get together properly. I really feel sorry for everyone." Sun Xiang was tricked, temporarily forgetting about the weirdness of this group, "By the way, how long are you staying in China, Deputy Jiang? I'll make an appointment with Zhou Zekai, alone Treat you to dinner?"

Sun Xiang didn't notice the strangeness in his words, but in the KTV box, everyone in the group except him had dumbfounded expressions.

"Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai are so familiar?" Du Ming asked.

"Brother Fang, do you know?" Lu Boyuan was a fine person.

Fang Minghua hesitated to speak: "Should... not... so familiar?"

Jiang Botao saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and replied to Sun Xiang: "I'll leave the day after tomorrow. You don't have his contact information, so it's troublesome to make an appointment. Thank you, let's have a light meal alone."

Sun Xiang thought back without thinking: What's the trouble?Fortunately, the remaining sanity made him brake the car before pressing the send button.

Subconsciously told him that in public, it is better not to be too honest.

So in the end he said this to Jiang Botao: "That's right. It's not easy to get in touch hahahaha. Then let's make an appointment, how about tomorrow at noon?"

6.

The next morning, when Sun Xiang woke up, Zhou Zekai was no longer there.

Thinking of going to the living room to pour water in the middle of the night, there was still light in the door of the study, and looking at the rising sun outside the window, Sun Xiang couldn't help feeling that Zhou Zekai's life might be twice as busy as his own.

But even if he was so busy, this guy actually dared to pat his chest and promise to go online and download his own book every day. Sun Xiang didn't know whether to praise him for his original intention, or complain about his willful behavior.

But recalling last night, he had to admit that playing New Glory with Zhou Zekai brought him a fresh enough and fun enough experience.This not only refers to the mutual pits and rivalries between the two in the initial stage, but also the subsequent tacit team formation and upgrading process. Even the selection of purple outfits in the market is full of ups and downs and full of unpredictable fun.So he didn't intend to stop Zhou Zekai from continuing to be "willful", but he already had strong expectations for tonight's team trip.

"Because you've never played together in private before, right?" During the lunch meeting with Jiang Botao alone, Sun Xiang couldn't help but talk about the half-day novel-like experience, and then Jiang Botao commented as above.

"Uh, yes. Is there a connection?" Sun Xiang was puzzled.

Jiang Botao took a sip of the soup, and analyzed unhurriedly: "Yes. A person is like a polyhedron, and each face represents a characteristic. When you were in the army, Zhou Zekai's characteristics were very simple for you. Captain, teammate , and partner. You only see this aspect, but any tacit understanding will be attributed to the extension of the tacit understanding on the court, and you won’t think about whether this person’s personality is in tune with you. Right?”

"……Yep."

"Then besides him, the rest of us, including you, can see a lot of facets. For example, who likes a certain brand of coat, who stays in bed, who doesn't like green peppers, and whose milk tea Remove the ice and add five cents of sugar..."

Sun Xiang put down his chopsticks thoughtfully: "That's right, so I only communicate with him about the game. How to adjust the rhythm, how to use this skill, and happy when you win, and depressed when you lose. Ah, I understand what you mean!"

"Ok?"

"We are teammates, and also...friends." Sun Xiang said, "As for Zhou Zekai, I probably only started to gradually change my mind after we met again, and treat him as someone who might become a friend!"

Jiang Botao smiled and said, "Yes, that's the meaning."

"Okay, then I figured it out. Before I said it, I always felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. It turned out to be my own problem."

"Haha, don't think too much in the future, just communicate according to your feelings." Jiang Botao focused on eating, and answered casually, "Maybe you two will be friends and you will be in harmony unexpectedly."

"why?"

"Because, besides you and Zhou Zekai, other than you and Zhou Zekai, among the people who won the best partner in Glory back then, they were at least close friends, and some even talked about love. Maybe you can do it too."

"Hey—" Sun Xiang blushed and frowned, "What did you say, Deputy Jiang!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Jiang Botao put his palms together quickly, begging for mercy and smoothing Mao, "Joke, joke!"

Sun Xiang's serious expression couldn't hold back, he laughed loudly: "I don't mind! You have been joking for so many years, it's a bit late to get nervous now."

"So?" Jiang Botao blinked.

"Me? When I think that I might become friends with him one day, I don't reject or mind. Well, let it be!"

After meeting Jiang Botao, Sun Xiang felt enlightened.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, he took the elevator downstairs to the food department, intending to find a fast food for dinner, and then went back to the office to deal with things. For some reason, he remembered his declaration at noon on the way.

The elevator door opened, Sun Xiang turned around and walked towards CityMart which was still in operation.

This supermarket has meat and vegetables, and the ingredients are clean and high-grade. I believe it should be able to meet someone's "hygienic" needs.

"Dinner and supper are served. Boss Zhou is welcome to show his face." Sun Xiang took a photo of the supermarket, pasted it in the email, and clicked send.

However, he did not have more than 0.1% hope for Zhou Zekai's "favor".

After all, it was already at this point, and it was a temporary invitation on the spur of the moment. No matter from the perspective of sincerity or schedule, Zhou Zekai definitely didn't have time to talk to him. At most, he could reply with "Thank you, I have an appointment".

But he doesn't mind.Anyway, the message is more of an attitude.It's good that Zhou Zekai can receive it.

"It's done, what's for dinner?" Sun Xiang put his mobile phone in his pocket, pushed the cart and began to study the shelves, focusing on how to satisfy his appetite.

Unexpectedly, after bypassing the second row of shelves, there was a familiar sound of mail arriving in his pocket, "Whoosh—"

Sun Xiang unlocked the phone casually, and froze when he saw the sender and the content.
