After seeing the manager off, Yu Li wanted to send a message to Bai Jingmo, but a phone call happened to come in.
She raised her eyebrows, picked up the phone, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xin, why do you have time to call me?"
"…What do you think?"
On the other end of the phone, Xing Hao made an ambiguous sound, "Yu Li, you are quite fast."
When they first started working together, Yu Li did say that she would recruit more teammates for him, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Just after one copy was completed, two people came.
Yu Li lazily propped up her chin and laughed twice: "Isn't it better to hurry up?"
"Okay, of course." The information of the two people has already reached Xing Hao's hands. He lowered his head and glanced at them. His strength is indeed quite good, and his performance in the previous copies was also quite good.
But his purpose for calling was not just that.
"I heard you went to Peace? That old man Xing Yuan seemed to be very angry with you. He even called me. What did you talk about with him?"
"Still looking for you?"
"Yeah, he said you were a scourge to this world, and that if I kept Bai Jingmo, I would definitely regret it later."
Xing Hao stroked his chin and said, "This is the first time I've heard him speak in such a serious tone."
Yu Li answered casually: "I didn't say anything, I just asked him something, but he didn't agree."
Seeing that the woman didn't want to talk, Xing Hao didn't ask any more questions and turned to another matter: "Yujiao is going to resign, did you know?"
Yu Li said, "Yes, I know."
Xing Hao sighed, put his things down, leaned back in his chair, and looked a little dazed.
Although he and Yujiao did look at each other to some extent, he still felt an inexplicable sense of sadness after hearing the news.
Thinking back, they were all players who came in from the same batch and went through so many dungeons together.
If Yu Li hadn't left, they would probably still be doing dungeons together, and these teams wouldn't exist.
But now, Yujiao is the first one to choose to quit.
Perhaps it was because he learned that his friend of many years was leaving, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. Xing Hao talked a lot tonight.
He seemed to regard Yu Li as a tree hole.
Or in other words, he was treated as a substitute for another person.
"Didn't you say you knew Limu? Did she tell you about our past? Well, I guess that woman wouldn't tell you. Why do you think she's hiding now? Is she afraid of someone or is she afraid that we will blame her?"
"But we didn't blame her. If she wanted to leave, she could leave. But why did she come back without telling us?"
"Today I asked Yujiao if she was going to wait for Limu. She just smiled at me. That smile was creepy. I felt like there was something wrong with it."
"Looking at that, I thought she had seen Limu and let go of her years of obsession all at once."
Yu Li listened quietly to the other party's mumbling without interrupting him, but her thoughts still drifted away along with the man's voice.
Xing Hao and Qi Cheng'an were the ones she met after Yu Jiao.
In fact, Yu Li had only been in the copy for a short time at that time. She had been locked up in an orphanage for ten years and had contact with very few people. Everyone she saw seemed hypocritical.
The reason she chose to team up with Yujiao was because she wanted to learn how normal people live through Yujiao's skills.
Xing Hao and Qi Chengan were the targets of her first experiment.
I just didn't expect that this contact would eventually lead to us becoming teammates, and the influence of this still exists today.
It is undeniable that the two years in this world have been more wonderful than her experiences in the past ten years.
Xin Hao on the other end of the phone seemed to realize that he had said too much, and quickly said, "Sorry, I seem to have said too much."
Yu Li regained consciousness and chuckled, "It's okay."
"Alas, I'm getting old and talkative." Xing Hao sighed a few times, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to bother Qi Chengan hahaha, next time I'll find time to go to your place and meet the new team members."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Li stood up. She didn't take a taxi, but walked slowly on the street, looking around casually.
This is a famous commercial street, which is particularly lively at night. In fact, compared with ten years ago, there have been quite a lot of changes.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the groups of people walking on the road.
They may be a partner, or a family member or friend.
Yu Li walked in the crowd, alone, out of tune with the hustle and bustle around her.
It's like a lonely soul isolated from the world.
Standing on the side of the road waiting for the traffic light, she slowly lowered her eyes, put on her hat silently, and then put her hands in her pockets.
Everyone was asking her why she was leaving.
That's the reason.
In the orphanage, everyone is alone, and everyone is equally lonely. Even if there are companions, they are just a false appearance.
But it's different here, they all have companions.
But whether it is Yujiao or Xinghao, their connection with her is only established in the copy.
After all, there was an invisible barrier between them.
Everything about her is fake and she is doomed to not fit in.
Every time Yu Li walked on this street before, she could clearly feel a strong sense of loneliness and rejection.
The same is true this time.
She didn't like this, she didn't like the bustling crowds, it only made her feel out of tune with others, she would rather find an orphanage in this world to stay in.
So, sometimes it’s not Bai Jingmo who needs her.
——But she needs Bai Jingmo.
It was just that some fool, who seemed to have no idea what she really wanted, left the day after she regained her memory.
The red light turned green, and people around her began to move forward. The sound of chattering interrupted her trance.
Yu Li sighed, put all these thoughts behind her for the time being, raised her eyes casually, and was about to cross the road.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and she stopped abruptly.
Amid the surging crowd, countless figures come and go.
On the opposite side of the road, there stood a man in a coat. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree and stood there quietly. No one knew how long he had been standing there. His cold and noble temperament attracted the attention of people around him.
After their eyes met.
He gently curved his eyes, his gentle gaze making people indulge in it, he slowly took out his hand from his coat pocket, his thin lips slightly opened, and his deep and familiar voice brought a long-lost sense of security.
"Li Li."
Yu Li stared at the man in a daze. Her heartbeat was like thunder in her ears and the voices of passers-by seemed to fade away in an instant.
When the green light started counting down, she blinked her sore eyes as if waking up from a dream. The next second, she suddenly ran over and threw herself into the other's arms, and then was gently picked up by the man.
The familiar scent of pine surrounded her tightly. She hugged Bai Jingmo's neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Bo Jingmo."
"Um."
"……I miss you."
Hearing this, the man lowered his eyes, bent his head and gently kissed the tip of the girl's ear.
"Me too, wife."
