Chapter 146: I’ve really failed at learning!

A new story begins.

Chen Luo gritted his teeth and operated carefully, step by step.

Please help pass the umbrella.

【Take the initiative to find topics.】

【Advance response message】

Chen Luo began to learn to understand emotions, not just their literal meaning.

——

He also made a lot of mistakes.

For example, if you say something too harsh, or if the atmosphere becomes awkward when it's good,

For example, being too cautious made Chu Tingxue feel a little distant.

Every time, Chen Luo felt like he was going to be in trouble.

Every time, the favorability fluctuates slightly during settlement.

【61】

【73】

【71】

【82】

…

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, trying again and again, stepping on empty air again and again, and then holding on tightly to the vines.

But he didn't give up.

It's not because you have to win.

But...

If reality could turn back once, he would also like to try it.

Finally, two hours later,

In the evening of more than ten days later.

Ding Dong.

[Current Favorability: 100.]

[You and Chu Tingxue became lovers.]

【The street lights are dim and the crowds are sparse.】

You stood at the entrance of the alley with your hands behind your back, your heart beating fast.

Chu Tingxue walked over quickly, holding a pile of documents.

[Seeing you, she paused, smiled, and raised her hand.]

[“Hello again, Junior Brother.”]

You didn't say much.

[He simply reached out, took out a cup of hot milk tea from behind his back, and handed it to her.]

[The paper cup is warm and has a small smiley face printed on it.]

Chu Tingxue blinked, took it, held it in her palm, lowered her head and smiled softly.

【The wind ruffled her hair by her ears.】

[Then, like countless times before, he took a slight step closer.]

【And this time——】

【You finally took a step forward.】

No hesitation.

There was no retreat.

[Under the dim light, on a slightly cool night,]

【For the first time, you are truly on the same page.】

【For the first time, we truly held each other's hands.】

Chen Luo stared at the screen, his throat tightening.

His palms were sweating and his chest felt like it was filled with something hot.

Outside the window, it is very dark.

On the phone screen, words flashed across the screen.

Although the experience of losing points was too much and too difficult before, I finally got through it!

Like in another world,

There are also people,

Finally, I learned to love others well.

【Congratulations to the players. 】

[Phase 2: Chu Tingxue - Reverse Perspective Experience can be unlocked.]

Please be ready.

【In her world, you will relive these days.】

【Every word, every silence, every missed opportunity will never be forgotten.】

【Only by truly entering her heart can you understand what you have missed between you. 】

…

Chen Luo was stunned?

You can even take the other person's perspective? So what are you hesitating about?

——

【Start the experience.】

Chen Luo clicked confirm.

The next second, the screen dimmed and then lit up again.

This time, the interface changed.

The main perspective is not his own.

It’s Chu Tingxue.

——

【The first day.】

[Junior apprentice appears on the street corner.]

He didn't seem to recognize me.

[…It doesn’t matter, as long as we can see each other again, that’s all that matters.]

[Invited to go together, hesitated for a moment before agreeing.]

【But along the way, he didn't say a word. 】

Even with his shoelaces loose, he just stood there and watched.

【I feel a little lost.】

【But I still want to give it another chance. 】

——

【the next day. 】

【I want to invite him for a midnight snack. 】

He agreed, and I almost jumped for joy.

[I specially picked up his favorite fish balls.]

【He smiled and said, I don’t like it anymore.】

My heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle.

【But still, I held back. 】

【After all, people do change.】

——

Day 3.

[Sent a message.]

He replied, “What’s wrong?”

[I just wanted to find a reason to talk to him.]

【But after hearing this, I suddenly didn’t want to continue. 】

【Close the chat box.】

【I started to think: Maybe I should just stop bothering her.】

——

Chen Luo held the phone, his throat tight.

It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest.

It turned out that on her side,

Every little mistake that I thought was insignificant,

Every time I thought I was silent accidentally,

They are all so heavy.

…

Day 5.

He said the first words that showed genuine concern for me.

[No longer just perfunctory greetings, no longer just mechanical responses.]

【Finally...a step closer.】

[It seems like you really understand me a little bit.]

【Although it is very slow.】

【Although it's stupid.】

【But...thank you anyway, Junior Brother.】

…

A message flashed by!

Chen Luo covered his phone, closed his eyes, and curled up on the bed.

My chest aches and swells.

The game is over though.

But that heavy feeling still weighs on my heart.

Not winning.

only,

Finally, I truly understand.

Chen Luo took a deep breath. If he really put himself into the game,

I feel so immersed in the play!

After checking the time, it was already late, so Chen Luo prepared to go to bed.

Another message popped up on the phone.

Chen Luo clicked it and took a look.

【System prompts:】

【You have completed the "forward-reverse" dual experience. 】

[Analysis of selection trajectory is in progress——]

[Analysis content: Keywords you displayed during the experience, such as:]

[“Patience”, “Hesitation”, “Clumsy concern”, “Late but hardworking”, “Take the initiative to approach”…]

[The system is matching you with real players who may have good rapport.]

Chen Luo was stunned.

Wait, what?

He stared at the screen, his heart beating a little faster.

【hint:】

[If you like, you can turn on tacit matching. ]

[Based on the keyword track, the system will recommend you candidates with high matching scores from players currently playing this game.]

【Note: This is just a recommendation, not mandatory.】

[All subsequent communications must be voluntary on both sides.]

Chen Luo clenched his phone tightly.

He didn't expect that there was this link.

...Do you want to open it?

He hesitated for a second.

Finally, he reached out and clicked confirm.

On the screen, tiny fragments of key words flashed and slid by.

Chen Luo saw his entry:

[Careful], [Slow to warm up], [Not good at speaking but hardworking], [Clumsy and gentle]...

Just like the real me.

After a few seconds, the screen shook.

【Matching completed! 】

[Matching object: Anonymous player EVA. ]

Keyword overlap: 82%.

Similar emotional trajectory: High.

【Would you like to apply to be added as a "Tacit Netizen"? 】

Chen Luo subconsciously wanted to click [Cancel], but his finger stopped at [Confirm].

He thought about it.

Never mind, let's give it a try. Just consider it as making friends!

【Application sent successfully.】

【Wait for the other party to respond.】

【hint:】

【Tacit matching is not a love system.】

[It's two people who once stumbled across the same game, and briefly met somewhere in the world.]

You two may not necessarily become lovers.

【But at least, we once struggled in the same long river of love. 】

【I have understood it.】

I have tried hard.

Chen Luo leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the ceiling, holding his cell phone in his hand.

He suddenly felt that

I made a profit in this game.

It's not about achieving anything worth bragging about.

But,

In countless misses and redemptions,

finally,

Learned it,

How to put a person's tenderness at the top of your heart and slowly accept it.

…
