Excessive worry

"By the way, should I call you by your real name or your game name in the game?" Meng Yisheng asked in the game.

Tao Luobai realized belatedly that this was a huge problem.

If they were simply referred to by the name of the game, all their future experiences might unfold in a world based on the game. Not to mention, Tao Luobai was sure that with his playful nature, as long as he chose to do so, it would be very likely.

But if he calls him by his real name, although it sounds more familiar, it also comes with a huge problem. His feelings for Meng Yisheng may gradually deepen, because the relationship between them is not like the past when they met through the screen like Brother Shining, but two people who can meet in reality.

He wasn't sure if he would be able to control his emotions and prevent these feelings from spreading in his heart if he continued like this.

After all, he had already noticed this trend. Whether to let it develop or not was up to him.

Coincidentally, in the game, Ji Xiaoman, played by Meng Yisheng, saved Shao Siyuan again, and Tao Luobai's emotions got the upper hand for a while.

"You can call me Luobai."

Tao Luobai replied like this in the game.

However, he also understood that even if he had different feelings towards Meng Yisheng because of this, Meng Yisheng would not return the same feelings as him.

Meng Yisheng already has someone he likes.

Tao Luobai muttered to himself, and in a blink of an eye, his mind became clear again. This was fine, let everything go with the flow. Ever since the incident with Brother Shan Yao, slowly withdrawing from his emotions has become a skill for him.

As long as he has this skill in hand, he is fearless.

With this thought in mind, Tao Luobai started playing the game attentively again.

WeChat area, I will also take you down, the legendary king is within my reach!

Tao Luobai and Meng Yisheng started to gain points. Tonight, he and Meng Yisheng went directly from Bronze to Star Glory Three, and they always got the gold medal plus two stars. If they were unlucky, they would get the silver medal, and if they were even more unlucky, they would suffer a setback. However, they only suffered setbacks in three or four games, and they won the rest of the games.

He and Meng Yisheng used Shao Siyuan or Li Hua and Ji Xiaoman and Guan Yu respectively, and they killed all the opponents without leaving a single one behind.

It was late at night and time to go to bed when the two reluctantly agreed to play again tomorrow.

Tao Luobai dared to guarantee that he was smiling in his dreams. It was the first time he won so much. Although his rank was not very high, it was so cool.

The next day, Tao Luobai showed his ability to be so persistent - he started to show up on WeChat as soon as he woke up and sent a good morning message to Meng Yisheng.

It was nine o'clock at that time. After sending the message, Tao Luobai began to eat bread slowly, preparing for the battle in the Pesticide Canyon later.

Tao Luobai turned on the screen of his mobile phone to ensure that if Meng Yisheng replied to his message, he would see it the first second.

The moment the emoticon of a cat peeking out of its head appeared in the chat box, Tao Luobai couldn't help but sigh. Pesticides are truly poisonous substances. They can make a shy and introverted person like him take the initiative.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yisheng did not reply immediately as before. Tao Luobai waited for a few minutes and found that Meng Yisheng still did not respond, so he logged into Nongyao and started playing solo.

Tao Luobai was so complacent with his rapid ranking last night that he forgot that if Nongyao didn't want him to win, the support position would be the hardest to rank up in.

You never know when your teammates will get sick, and what kind of illness they will get -

For the whole morning, Tao Luobai saw his teammates acting in a chaotic manner. Either the mid laner and the jungler would go AFK at the beginning, or one of them would insist on playing alone in the middle of the fight, or they would be killed six or seven times but still refused to believe it and kept dying.

Or before a team fight, there is always one teammate who wants to fight with the five opponents, as if they don't want to play the game unless they lose it.

Tao Luobai went from being angry at the beginning to being numb later. The key point was that no matter how abstract the actions of his teammates were in the WeChat area, there was rarely any cursing in the text chats within the game, and all his teammates looked as calm as chrysanthemums.

It’s as if these people block all their teammates as soon as they start the game.

No matter what he said, whether it was kind or sarcastic, it was useless.

So, Tao Luobai looked at himself and found himself stuck at the Star Glory Five game interface all morning, and a huge feeling of helplessness surged in his heart.

Next time, I'd better wait for Meng Yisheng to come play with me, otherwise I really won't be able to bear it if I lose again.

Tao Luobai took a breath of air, went to have lunch with Bai Qiaosong, and then lay on the bed for a good nap.

Tao Luobai has a habit. It doesn't matter whether he takes a nap at home or not, but when he gets to school, he must take a nap to ensure that he has enough energy to face the afternoon and evening. This is a habit he developed in his freshman year, and when he is in his senior year, he can't change it for a while. If he doesn't follow this schedule, he will inevitably feel sleepy.

Therefore, it is inevitable that after waking up from a dream, the time has changed from noon to afternoon. Tao Luobai encountered such a situation.

Moreover, he also saw that Meng Yisheng had sent him countless messages.

14:00

Mengsheng Diluo: Sorry, I got up late this morning.

Mengshengdiluo: I’m sorry.

Mengshengdi Luo: Luobai, are you angry?

Mengshengdi Luo: Luobai, please pay attention to me.

Mengsheng Diluo: Luobai, are you taking a nap? I will come to you later. I really know I was wrong.

17:00

Mengshengdi Luo: Luobai, are you up?

Mengshengdiluo: Haven’t you gotten up yet?

Mengsheng Diluo: Did something happen to you?

Voice call not connected

Mengshengdiluo: Your phone is not on sound yet.

Mengsheng Diluo: No, I’m worried. I want to go to your school to take a look.

Mengshengdiluo: When you wake up and see the message, remember to reply to me

18:00

Mengsheng Diluo: I'm at the gate of your school. Are you okay? I, I don't know which class you are in. I only know that you are a senior, and I don't even know your major. I can only trouble passers-by to ask one by one.

Mengsheng Diluo: If you don’t reply to the message, I will be really worried about you. If you see this, please reply quickly.

18:30

Mengsheng Diluo: I just happened to ask your classmates, and they told me your dormitory number. I'm here to find you, wait for me -

After reading this string of messages, Tao Luobai glanced at the time when Meng Yisheng sent the message, and then looked at the current time.

18:45

Normally, it takes half an hour to walk from the school gate to their dormitory building, but it only takes ten minutes if you ride a bike.

Within these ten minutes, Meng Yisheng did not come to his dormitory, which means that he chose to walk, or did not find the fastest route while riding his bike, or got lost in the school.

So, he will see Meng Yisheng soon?

Tao Luobai reacted and thought, wait, he was still in his pajamas. He quickly got out of bed and went to the closet to find clothes to put on.

Bai Qiaosong had gone to eat dinner by himself because Tao Luobai was asleep, and now he was playing games on the side. Seeing Tao Luobai's anxious look, he couldn't help but make a little joke during his free time: "Why, are you going to see your sweetheart? You just woke up and went to have a meal, and you have to dress up? You used to just wear pajamas and go out——"

"Hey, why don't you move when I say that? I hope you're right." Bai Qiaosong became more and more confident as he spoke, and even his sitting posture became a little straighter.

Tao Luobai was not stunned because of what he thought, but because he had just realized it and forgot to reply to Meng Yisheng's message to tell him that he was awake when he woke up.

He quickly picked up his phone again and sent him a message.

"I was just sleeping. I'm sorry. I don't know why I slept for so long today and made you worry." Tao Luobai stared at the message he sent to see if there was anything unreasonable. He was afraid that his explanation was not clear enough and made Meng Yi angry.

Tao Luobai didn't even think about why he was afraid that Meng Yi would be angry. In an instant, he got a reply.

"I'm glad you're okay. By the way, I'm downstairs at your dormitory. Since you just woke up, you probably haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to go out for dinner together? My sister is here too, so we can go together."

"Okay." By the time Tao Luobai realized what he had typed, he had already sent it out.

Tao Luobai thought to himself that he was a person who got carried away easily, and then he saw Meng Yisheng sent another message: "Then we will wait for you downstairs of your dormitory. Don't worry, take your time to pack."

How could Tao Luobai not be anxious? It was fine to let Meng Yisheng wait alone, but what about letting Meng Guiyue, a girl, wait?

And there is Bai Qiaosong. Tao Luobai glanced at him. Meng Guiyue came here today to look for someone with her brother. He didn't know whether he should tell him the news. He saw Meng Guiyue and Bai Qiaosong having a lot of fun yesterday.

Should I tell him? Tao Luobai was struggling with this while packing up the things he needed to go out to eat, including keys, tissues, and a cell phone. Only after he was sure that nothing was left out did Tao Luobai leave the dormitory.

Of course, before leaving, he still told Bai Qiaosong that he was going to have dinner with Meng Yisheng, but after thinking about it, he still did not tell him the news that Meng Guiyue was coming here.

He thought that since Meng Guiyue didn't say anything on his own, he shouldn't act on his own. Besides, Bai Qiaosong had already eaten. If he told Bai Qiaosong that Meng Guiyue came here, and Bai Qiaosong told Meng Guiyue about it, and was invited to dinner, it would be bad for him to be full and bloated.

Under Bai Qiaosong's frustrated gaze, Tao Luobai went downstairs.

From a distance, two people, one tall and one short, were standing at the dormitory door.

Logically speaking, Meng Guiyue's pink clothes would be more eye-catching in the dark, but Tao Luobai's gaze involuntarily stopped at the boy in dark blue clothes beside her.

The boy seemed to be playing with his mobile phone, staring at the screen intently.

Tao Luobai walked out, came to Meng Yisheng, and patted his shoulder gently.
