"Don't worry, this belongs to the company. Even if I have so much money, I wouldn't want to buy these things." Ye Shuiyou held the steering wheel with both hands and said while adjusting the angle, "However, I like driving this car.
Ye Shuiyou smiled again and said.
"Wow, you won't take it for yourself?" Ye Shuiyou could clearly see Xiao Lan's surprised expression in the rearview mirror of the car.
"So what?" Dad won't blame me for this. He only thinks about how to make money now.
"..."
In the dark night, it was as if endless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, not even the glimmer of stars.
The car started again, and there was not a single car driving on the Sixth Ring Road in the night. Xiao Lan and Ye Shuiyou were driving fast on the road, looking a little lonely.
The quality of the car was quite good. The engine had no sound. Xiao Lan could hear the occasional barking of dogs from the fields nearby so clearly in the car.
"Brother Lan, there are many places like this in the game." Ye Shuiyou looked out the window and said suddenly.
"But that's a game. When we play games, we can always play with a happy attitude, but not in reality. For example, these scenery right now, in the game you can enjoy it to your heart's content, but in reality, it's just
It can evoke your infinite loneliness."
Traffic speeds on Beijing's Sixth Ring Road can be very fast. After a while, the cycle becomes lively. As an international metropolis, Beijing is far more lively at night than Hailar in the game.
With a sound of braking, the car driven by Ye Shuiyou stopped steadily at the entrance of Shuangyushu Community in Haidian District.
"Brother Lan, I'd better see you off." Ye Shuiyou turned his head, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"Okay, let's just walk back." Xiao Lan said.
So, Ye Shuiyou found a nearby place to park the car, and then walked home with Xiao Lan.
"Brother Lan, why do I feel like I've seen this place before in a game?" As they were walking, Ye Shuiyou suddenly pointed at the two rows of poplar trees in front and said.
"Oh, you are talking about them. Of course, do you still remember the Novice Village where I was born? There is also a long row of poplar trees on the side of Luna Lake." After Xiao Lan said this, he simply held one of his hands.
The tree stood there, "However, I still think they are more beautiful. Look at the patterns on the tree." Xiao Lan pointed at a naturally formed pattern on the poplar tree and said, "Does it look like human eyes? Whenever
When I feel upset, I like to come here to sit and chat with these friends, which is a kind of relaxation."
And just when Xiao Lan and Ye Shuiyou were staring at the two rows of poplar trees in a daze, someone suddenly called out softly from behind the tree: "Is it Brother Zhui Meng?"
The volume was very low, but Xiao Lan sounded very familiar. The voice was crisp and breathy, and it seemed to be the voice of a woman (girl?).
The voice was like that of a textile lady who had been calling him all night, but before dawn, it finally became thin and intermittent due to sleepiness. At first, Xiao Lan was not sure that someone was actually calling him. He even suspected that he was experiencing auditory hallucinations for a moment.
. He hurriedly rubbed his face with both hands several times, then held on to the damp door frame to calm down. For a few seconds, the surroundings were quiet, with only the heavy wet leaves turning in the morning breeze, making a dull rustling sound.
.
And just when Xiao Lan thought that he might have heard wrongly, the ghostly calling sounded softly somewhere behind him.
"Brother Dream Chaser..."
Ye Shuiyou next to her could clearly hear that someone was indeed calling Xiao Lan, and the call seemed more urgent.
Just now when Xiao Lan and Ye Shuiyou were returning, it happened to be raining lightly in Beijing. The sound behind the tree penetrated the light haze formed at night after the rain, and reached the back of Xiao Lan's head.
Come. Xiao Lan hurriedly turned around to look for it. A black shadow floated vaguely through the gray-blue space, and stopped under some big trees across the road.
"Brother Dream Chaser..."
The third sound. This time I heard it clearly. The cry was from the black shadow. It was a girl. Familiar or not familiar? Who is it? In short, it was a girl. Xiao Lan calmed herself down, and then talked to Ye Shui
You walked over slowly.
The person calling Xiao Lan was none other than the most mysterious little girl in Xiao Lan's team, Phoenix Impression. From the game to now, Xiao Lan only knew that this little girl was a college student in Beijing. As for the rest, Xiao Lan never asked her
I never said it myself.
But there was one thing that made Xiao Lan very strange. Phoenix Impression's body seemed to be not in good condition. After going online many times, Xiao Lan found that the little girl seemed a little tired and couldn't muster up her energy when fighting monsters.
After walking around two trees, Xiao Lan finally came face to face with the girl. She was indeed a phoenix. She was wearing casual clothes. Although it was already May, the night in Beijing was still very cold after the rain. It was probably outside the door.
She waited for a long time in the damp poplar forest, and her lips were already a little purple from the cold. The large woolen shawl tightly wrapped around her shoulders seemed to have been wet by the rain. The black hair that was also wet was glued to it.
It was on her pale cheeks and her forehead that looked a little too full. She was shivering constantly because of the cold and nervousness.
"What are you doing? What are you doing here?" Xiao Lan asked in shock.
"Keep your voice down..." Phoenix Impression panicked and retreated to the darkness under the tree, as if she was very worried that people would find her. Xiao Lan, however, stood still and didn't move, just widening his eyes in shock.
, looked at her suspiciously; at the same time, he lowered his voice and asked again: "What's going on?"
"..." Phoenix Impression looked at him steadily, panting heavily, trembling, and making no sound.
"Look at how cold you are. Come on, come to my house to warm yourself up." Xiao Lan invited.
"No!" The little girl said "no" firmly, and then looked at Xiao Lan with a little panic, "Uh, forget it, let's go. I'm... really... a little cold."
It was late at night, and Xiao Lan was too embarrassed to pester a girl to go home. Ye Shuiyou happened to be by his side, so the two of them sent the Phoenix impression to Xiao Lan's home.
"Come, don't think about anything else, have a cup of coffee and warm yourself up."
After returning home, Xiao Lan asked Ye Shuiyou to sit on the sofa in the living room with Phoenix Impression. He took out the black coffee that he had not touched for a long time from the cabinet and made a cup.
Phoenix bowed slightly to apologize, then sat down, picked up the coffee cup, and took a small sip. She was not tall, or to be more precise, a bit short. She had a wide forehead and a pointed chin, but she was of various sizes.
They are all quite harmonious, and are a typical quiet little girl. The plain clothes wrap her exquisite body, and a small pink shawl just covers her charming shoulders, which makes people think about her.
At this time, Phoenix Impression's eyes were flickering. It seemed that he had been busy all day nervously and was still "shocked" until this moment. An obvious evidence is that his carefully maintained left hand, which was placed flat on the armrest of the sofa,
He was trembling slightly there involuntarily.
"Brother Lan, how many days can I stay with you?"
After a while, Phoenix Impression suddenly made this request. Ye Shuiyou beside her and Xiao Lan across the coffee table both stared at her in surprise.
"Brother Zhui Meng, I really don't want to lie to you, but I have no choice, otherwise I can pay the rent." Fenghuang looked very anxious. He didn't seem to expect Xiao Lan to be so surprised.
"This is not a question of whether to pay the rent or not. Aren't you going to university? Why are you living here with me? Is it because the university dormitory environment is not good?" Xiao Lan asked, staring closely at Phoenix Impression.
"No, no, I just need money." Phoenix Impression held the coffee cup tightly with both hands and raised his head, but after seeing Xiao Lan's eyes, he quickly lowered his head.
"What does needing money have to do with living here?" Xiao Lan asked in confusion.
Phoenix Impression couldn't bear it any longer. He put the coffee cup on the coffee table and burst into tears: "Brother Zhui Meng, just let me hide here. I really can't go back to school."
