Chapter 107 The game is affecting me. I want to see how good he is at pretending.

If we talk about memories, their acquaintance and love are really incredible.

Zhu Ci's eyes moved slightly. He was not a person who fell in love at first sight. It was even more difficult for Xishui Changliu to influence him. But why was his bottom line always broken by Shen Wu again and again? Even trying to rely on him?

…

"...Can you relax a little?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Sorry." A restrained and suppressed voice sounded above my head.

Zhu Ci pushed him away, took a deep breath, and looked around. Fortunately, there were not many people hanging around the school gate at this time, otherwise it would have caused a bad impact.

"What are you doing in school?" He walked forward.

"Congratulations..." Shen Wu suddenly called his full name.

Zhu Ci turned around, and the two people's eyes met in the bright sunlight. Many figures flashed through his mind, and finally focused on the person in front of him.

He was a little dazed.

Shen Wu moved his lips, and then said: "Good luck in the competition, and besides..."

It seemed difficult to say what this other thing was, as he had too many concerns about giving a toast.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ci's usually cold face suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

"Okay." He said suddenly.

The horror of that smile was no less than the sun rising in the west. It was simply going from one extreme to another.

Standing there, Shen Wu sketched Zhuge's back several times. His gentleness and restraint had faded away, and his face was cold, but it also showed an expected expression. He took off his glasses and rubbed them carefully, as if he was thinking about something.

The rustling sound of leaves in the wind seems to be the urging of time, and also like the most primitive prayer.

…

The match in the afternoon was only the most basic version, but the venue was still packed.

"Congratulations, they all came to see you." Ye Yanghui said.

Their faces and cell phones were projected on the screen, and by the time they started giving their speeches, the sound had become noticeably louder.

The person in charge of the e-sports club did not dare to explain that the speech had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Ci looked up and didn't see anyone familiar. He lowered his eyes and said, "It shouldn't be him."

"That's it." Wu Yi sighed. He had already posted a confession on the wall last night. In the past, he would have complained about it, but now he has accepted it. Who doesn't like beautiful boys?

Zhuci didn't say anything. He just focused on what he was doing. If he was distracted, he would mess up even in the field he was good at.

…

The expressions of the teammates on both sides and the ongoing game were projected onto the screen, recorded and uploaded to the Internet.

Zhu played very aggressively throughout the whole game. When his teammates were talking, he occasionally said "hmm" without even turning his head. The game was finished an hour earlier than expected.

After he stood up, the audience burst into applause, but his speech felt a little unreal.

A feeling of long absence gradually filled his heart, followed by doubt. Zhu Ci wondered if he was the "brain in a vat". Was this the real thing, or was that the real thing?

…

"Oh my god, this guy is so awesome!"

“This one looks familiar.”

"I know this guy. He's very famous in the gaming world. Coming here to fight with students, isn't this a dimensionality reduction attack?"

"Who are you talking about? Nowadays, all game uploaders keep their identities secret. How do you know their real identities?"

"There is no such thing as a real secret. I just saw it at an offline event before."

"Who are you talking about?"

…

If it weren't for that bizarre game, Zhu Ci might have lived such an ordinary life, without having to consider so many things, and would have had many choices after graduation.

And who is he now?

"Zhu Ci, don't be shy, come over and take a photo."

Zhu Ci shook his head: "Sorry, I have something to do."

As he said this he pushed his way through the crowd and left.

Only after running outside did Zhu Ci breathe a sigh of relief.

He frowned, picked up the phone, thought for a moment, and put it down again.

"Why are you standing outside? Isn't this a competition?"

When Zhuci raised his head, it was Meng Yuanzhou.

"It's over," he said.

…

"What? You're asking me that? Do you think I'm experienced?"

In the coffee shop, Meng Yuanzhou shouted in disbelief.

Greeting: "...I'm just asking you a very common question."

Is it such a big surprise?

"It's not unusual at all. You told me that your boyfriend loves you very much, but you always feel that he wants to kill you. Do you want to break up?" Meng Yuanzhou glanced around and repeated his words.

Zhu Ci lowered his head and drank his coffee, but his real thoughts were actually very different from what Meng Yuanzhou said.

"The game is influencing me." Zhuci said.

"Then just pretend that nothing happened and regard it as just a dream." Meng Yuanzhou said, and as he spoke his expression suddenly became surprised.

"Are you crying?" Meng Yuanzhou asked.

Zhu Ci raised his hand and wiped his eyes, which were wet.

The game is indeed affecting him, but to what end?

"I don't know." Zhu Ci said seriously. He didn't want to cry. This was the truth.

"Forget it." Meng Yuanzhou seemed to have thought a lot, he said, "Actually, in your situation, you should break up. Break up quickly. In reality and in games, where do you think human nature is more real? You definitely wouldn't think so for no reason."

It's not good to be trapped in love at such a young age. Meng Yuanzhou thought, what if the game is affected by such a trivial matter, what if he dies?

Zhu Ci picked up his phone and opened the chat box. He could see the breakup message he had sent not long ago by scrolling up.

Zhuci put down his phone again.

"...Forget it, I haven't asked you yet, what is the purpose of your appearance here." Zhuci said.

"You also know that the game has cultivated many crazy people and criminals. These people will definitely be handed over to us in the end." Meng Yuanzhou lowered his voice and said, "It's confidential. We can't talk about it here. Let's go to another place."

"Can you tell me this?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Your words don't matter."

After moving far away.

Meng Yuanzhou sent him a photo on his cell phone.

"This person must have offended you."

This person was the one who had made the speech before.

"so what?"

"He was transported to our prison a few days ago, but he seems to have some brain problems." Meng Yuanzhou said, "It's a very strange thing."

Zhuci frowned.

"He seemed to fall in love with a man at first sight, shouting that he wanted to see him and die for him." Meng Yuanzhou said excitedly.

This is indeed strange, and Zhu Ci is a little curious.

"Do you know the name of the person he fell in love with at first sight?" Meng Yuanzhou asked.

"Um?"

"He is a famous writer, and it seems that he assisted the police in arresting the man." Meng Yuanzhou said.

Zhuci: "...Is that person called Shen Wu?"

"Yes, yes. You two should know each other. I heard that he often comes to your school to give lectures."

Zhuci: "..." How could he not know him? Of course he must know him. If this man is Shen Wu's perverted pursuer, then killing him seems... reasonable, but why doesn't Meng Yuanzhou know about his relationship with Shen Wu?

"Does your director know about this?" Zhu Ci asked.

"Well...he didn't say anything." Meng Yuanzhou said.

"I want to know if anything happened in your department ten years ago?" Zhu Ci suddenly changed the subject.

"It's hard to say, but since you want to join, let me think about it." Meng Yuanzhou thought for a while and said, "I heard after joining that the headquarters was invaded once and was later rebuilt. The dormitory and cafeteria were rebuilt, and the conditions are pretty good now."

Speech: "..." He was speechless.

"When are you going to the next instance? Are you considering bringing a few people with you?"

Cheers: "Not interested. I'm going home."

Suddenly his cell phone rang.

He hesitated visibly in his speech, then took out his cell phone.

It was different from what he expected, but Zhuci's expression only eased for a few seconds, and then he looked even more speechless.

On the screen was a personal greeting from the counselor.

"Congratulations, I heard your composition didn't pass again..."

Zhu Si: "..." He turned around and made eye contact with Meng Yuanzhou who came over to read the gossip.

"Hey, I heard you graduated from a prestigious university?"

Meng Yuanzhou: "...Hahaha, I understand, I understand, but I can't help you at all, I'm not an expert in this field."

“It’s useless.”

…

You have to go home no matter what, even if you need to make up for your homework.

Zhu Ci thought deeply for a moment and sent a message to Shen Wu: "Go back to your house and let's talk."

"You have such a good relationship with your boyfriend?" Meng Yuanzhou asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"It's obvious that you don't reject anyone and don't actively approach them. It's as if you don't have a temper. These people are probably dispensable to you."

"It's optional, but there's no need to describe you like this."

Meng Yuanzhou looked at him with a heart of stone, and said, "Shouldn't someone like you reject others directly at the confession stage?"

Zhu Ci nodded, then shook his head: "Why do you think so? What if I confessed first?"

"You?" Meng Yuanzhou suddenly stopped where he was, as if it was the first day he met Zhuci.

"I don't have any concerns. Besides, he's good-looking."

"You must have been tricked." Meng Yuanzhou looked at him deeply. How good could a man be to make Zhu Ci confess his love to him?

"Ha." Zhu Ci uttered a light "ha", and his memory inevitably went back to the past.

Since participating in this game, his life has changed dramatically, and he hasn't talked to the normal Shen Wu for a long time.

He had read almost all of Shen Wu's books. The first novel he read was called "Mask". They didn't know each other at that time.

The protagonist in the book wears a thick mask, pretending to be what others want to see, and every time he smiles, the dark side of his heart becomes darker. There is a supporting character in the book, who has done a lot of bad things, lives ugly every day, and makes himself look very fierce and hard to bully. However, he was frightened by a very small thing, and finally left a letter in fear and collapse, revealing his painful and desperate inner journey.

Everyone inside lives like this, but it seems as if no one is living.

When others were discussing the plot of the book, Zhu Ci felt that the author must be very sick. A healthy person would not write about so many people's different hysteria in such a horrible way. At the very least, he must be a schizophrenic.

But when he actually met Shen Wu, he found that the other person had a perfect appearance, and there was nothing disgusting about his words and deeds.

Zhuci: "Actually, I just wanted to see how good he is at pretending."

Meng Yuanzhou: "Ah? What did you say?"
