In the small private room, we had barbecued cola, sashimi and oysters, and drank and chatted.
"It seems like ages ago that I last had dinner with you alone."
Hearing what Zhao Huo said, Ren Suo, who was gnawing on a charcoal-grilled snow crab leg, was stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "The last time I had dinner with you... it should have been in the college cafeteria, right?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huo ate the twenty-fourth grilled oyster in a 'swoosh' and said, "At that time, you didn't know Dong Chengling yet. You suddenly came over and asked me 'Do you know Dong Chengling?' You were so impatient as if you had never seen a woman before..."
"I'm not impatient!" Ren Suo also remembered that he was playing "Spirit of the World" at that time. It was the first time he saw the NPCs in the game overlap with real people, so he was in a hurry to investigate Dong Chengling.
“Yes, you looked so innocent back then,” Zhao Huo sighed, “You had low aptitude and weak strength, like a chick that had just hatched from an egg. You looked like a virgin forever. Who would have thought that you would turn from a chick into a phoenix and become a scum of the world that everyone loves…”
"Back then, you were always talking about your fiancée. When your fiancée gave you a car, you parked it downstairs of the dormitory to show off to me. You were as loyal as Guan Yu. But now? Ha, you are a traitor."
"How could I show off to a gentleman like you?"
"So you, a beast in human clothing, parked your car downstairs of the dormitory for ten minutes to read a book? And you acted like you just got back and called me when I walked over."
"How do you know I parked for ten minutes?" Zhao Huo was shocked: "You were spying on me!?"
"I guessed. There's no parking lot in front of the dormitory building. You just drove to the parking lot over by the playground after you were done pretending. I can tell with my toenails that you parked there on purpose to wait for me."
Zhao Huo was shocked. "Fuck, have some brains? I thought you used some evil magic to charm Dong Chengling Qiao Muyi. Now it seems that you may have used some conspiracy..."
Ren Suo said bitterly, "If I had that kind of spell to charm people, I would immediately make you wear Wumingshi and practice Tai Chi in the academy."
"An unknown poem?" Zhao Huo was stunned.
Ren Suo casually mentioned a lolita skirt style and quickly changed the subject: "How dare you say that to me? You've also incurred a lot of emotional debts. Now, we've both been kicked out. Let's see how you're going to reconcile."
Speaking of this, Zhao Huo also looked depressed. He kept putting the salmon belly into his mouth and said vaguely: "What should I do... Alas, I don't know what to do."
"The atmosphere was good originally. I think they all forgave me. Even when I asked them questions directly, they didn't lose their temper."
Zhao Huo ate a large fried shrimp, his face full of happiness, and said seriously: "They are all very good girls."
"If I hadn't been kicked out and had continued to fight back, maybe I could be getting along happily with them now."
Ren Suo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "It sounds like there's no problem. You can say a few soft words to them later and give them a way out. Then you can enjoy the blessing of having two wives, right?"
Zhao Huo was slightly startled: "Is that so?"
"Isn't that so?" Ren Suo said in a frustrated tone, "Thank me! If I hadn't assisted you and helped you find out their true intentions, you would probably still be cowering and not knowing what to do."
"With your brain filled with muscles and paper man, you actually met such a good girl. You must have used up all your luck and intelligence in your life. Maybe Ultraman is blessing you. Remember to fulfill your wish when you go home."
Were you assisting me just now? Weren't you attacking me like crazy?
However, when Zhao Huo thought about it seriously, he found that his goal for tonight had been mostly accomplished.
Although they haven't reconciled yet, it seems that Miss Fan, Xiao Meng, Sun Shu and others are not angry.
When facing Ren Suo's questions, they always protected my face, which shows that they still love me.
I'll apologize sincerely later. Even if there's no such good thing as getting married, at least we can continue to date. Zhao Huo was actually very uncomfortable with the cold war of more than 20 days.
He didn't ask for much, he just wanted to maintain the previous relationship. As for whether he could move forward, that would be left to time and fate to judge, and he would do everything he could to prove his sincerity.
Even in the second dimension, Zhao Huogen is still a warrior at heart. He knows that his behavior is wrong and despised by others, but is it right to choose one and hurt two? Or is it best to hurt both and then be alone for the rest of his life?
When people look back on the past, they will always find better choices, but they often cannot notice them at the time.
So Zhao Huo chose not to choose. He was a reckless warrior, so he didn't need to think too much.
He just wanted to express his feelings in accordance with his heart and God's will.
As for the result, if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my fate. It's nothing more than this.
But since it is the path he has chosen, he will continue to walk on it even if he has to kneel down, even if he gets a bloody head.
He knew very well what he had to do: he didn't know it before, and he was afraid of missing it later, so he could only choose now. He had to prove to them now that he, Zhao Huo, could give them happiness.
Move forward courageously and never look back.
This is Zhao Huo’s belief.
He used to spend tens of thousands of yuan just to get the paper figure he wanted, but now he can do everything he can to win his lover's forgiveness.
So now Zhao Huo is as happy as if he had drawn a super rare character with a drop rate of 0.01%.
"Laughing like a husky..." Ren Suo complained: "You are fine, I am so jealous."
“Hmm?” Zhao Huo wanted to hold back his smile, but he obviously couldn’t help it. He said to Ren Suo with a smile: “You are pretty good too, aren’t you? Let me count the names. Dong Chengling, the most beautiful teacher in the academy, Gu Yueyan, the goddess of the library, Qiao Muyi, the beautiful snake from the Strategy Bureau, and Lin Xianyu, who is a perfect match for you…”
"That's not Xianyu."
"You're envious, aren't you? That means there are three girls who like you!"
"Actually, there are four," Ren Suo concealed Luna's existence, "My sister likes me too."
"Brother, we are talking about love. Don't drag your sister into this just to win me." Zhao Huo shook his finger at Ren Suo with an expression that said 'this is not nice of you'.
However, after three seconds, Zhao Huo discovered that Ren Suo did not complain or refute, but ate in silence.
Zhao Huo blinked and his expression became a little weird.
They joke around a lot, so they naturally know when it's a joke and when it's not.
It's incredible, Ren Suo actually didn't even let his sister go! ?
Should I call the Women's Federation or the Public Security Bureau? No, this is a supernatural crime, can I call the Countermeasures Bureau... But the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau is his girlfriend!
But this is too amazing!? How can he get past his parents? How can Dong Chengling and the others allow them to have such a relationship?
I thought it was exciting enough that you could play with polyamory, how come you can even bring up ethical issues! ?
Zhao Huo thought he was a second-dimensional person, but he didn't expect that Ren Suo was the real second-dimensional person, brave enough to practice the forbidden love that is very rare even in the anime world! He fell in love with a real girl and even wanted to get married!
I, Zhao Huo, would like to call you the strongest!
"Don't overthink it. My sister and I have a child who is not our parent."
"Oh." Zhao Huo felt bored instantly.
"But you're still better than me. The three of us are all exhausted, but the four of you can still maintain it so steadily... I didn't expect you to have such a talent as a love saint."
"No way!" This time it was Ren Suo's turn to complain: "Cheng Ling, Master Mu, Yue Yan, and my sister, who do you think is easier to mess with?"
"Lin Xianyu... I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue." Zhao Huo thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they are all difficult to deal with. Teacher Dong is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, Qiao Muyi is simply a hedgehog, Gu Yueyan is as angular as a triangular pyramid, and your sister... your sister dares to fall in love with you. No matter how you think about it, she is not a good person."
"Is that so?" Ren Suo sighed. "I was kicked out by them during lunch because I made a suggestion. They also confined me to my room. Except for going on dates with them, I was not allowed to go out casually."
"This is too miserable." Zhao Huo said with sympathy: "But being able to stay at home is not a punishment for you, right?"
"More than that! My current schedule is set by them. Except for a few personal times, I have to accompany them the rest of the time. Who to accompany, where to go, and what to do are all decided by them. For example, if Master Mu wants to have dinner with me in the city, I will probably ask Cheng Ling to take me there."
Zhao Huo exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, sexy Ren Suo, online recruitment."
"But this is also good. Although you suffer a little, at least you can live in harmony."
Ren Suo complained bitterly: "Harmony is bullshit. Why did I make suggestions at noon? It was because I saw that they were about to fight and the dinner table was about to be overturned by them, so I made a suggestion to ease the atmosphere. I didn't expect that they would focus on me, so I was kicked out of the house."
Zhao Huo thought about it seriously. Now the relationship between Miss Fan and the others has obviously eased, and they don’t have any restrictions on their lives. The most important thing is that they don’t have the tyrannical military force of Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi.
My situation is much better than Ren Suo's.
Human beings are so strange. If no one sympathizes with you, you won’t care how painful the wound is.
如果没有人嘲笑，你就不会在乎伤疤有多难看；
如果没有人比较，谁会知道什么是前途。
之前任索对自己的同情、嘲笑和比较，现在全部反弹过去后，赵火简直觉得自己是人生赢家。
所以他也摆出人生赢家的姿态，安慰道：“索哥，我们一起加油吧，生活迟早会好起来的。以后有什么需要我帮忙的地方，尽快开口。”
任索叹了口气：“那能不能再请我几顿？这里还挺好吃的……”
“没问题。”赵火拍着胸口说道：“索哥，刚才是我不对，故意向乔木依东承灵问那种挑衅的问题……不过她们都回答得很得体，不会有事吧？”
“她们回去之后才会有事的。”任索闷闷说道：“而且是我有事。”
“对不起啦，”赵火双手合十道歉：“我其实也不是故意的，只是……多请你几顿吧。”
“你都这样道歉了，我原谅你。”
任索说道：“刚才我也有不对，明明说好这次是来帮你的，结果也问了那种挑衅一样的问题……希望不会对你造成负面影响。”
“没关系，你不是说了吗？你帮我试探出她们的真正态度了，不愧是索哥！”
“火哥你客气了，那其实是火哥你的个人魅力。来来来再点一份鹅肝，挺好吃的。”
“同是天涯沦落人，四海之内皆兄弟，来，干杯！”
赵火动情地说道：“不知不觉，我们都已经认识一年多了。那时候我哪会想到，最后你居然成为了我的朋友。”
任索感慨良多：“我也没想到，我居然会跟一个有未婚妻的人生赢家成为无话不说的好兄弟。”
刚才破碎的兄弟情，现在仿佛用透明胶粘起来了。
光看他们两个亲密的画面，简直就是一对异父异母的亲兄弟。
吃饱喝足，出来买单，刚好女生那边也出来了。
回想起刚才任索的分析，赵火鼓起勇气，走进樊大小姐她们中间，脸红耳赤地小声说道：“能……原谅我吗？”
樊大小姐展颜一笑，帮他理了理刘海，笑道：“你可是我未婚夫，我当然会原谅你。”
小孟轻轻挽起耳边秀发，说道：“我们之间还有什么原谅不原谅的，难道我还能记恨你一辈子吗？”
孙淑将眼镜放回眼镜盒，甜甜一笑：“火哥，欢迎回来。”
而另外一边，任索刚靠近东承灵她们，古月言就抿紧双唇，一脸严肃地说道：“索先生，我们可没帮你行龌蹉之事，任由良家少女继续被渣男欺骗。”
任索吓了一跳：“有，有那么严重吗？”
“就是这么严重，哥。”任星美抱着黑猫说道：“像我们这样不健康不纯洁的男女关系，这世上能少一点就少一点。不破坏就算了，怎么可以还帮助呢？哥，你这是态度不端正啊！”
任索：“其实我一开始就是打算搞破坏的……”
“我觉得，小索你一开始是想看戏的。”
乔木依挽住任索的手臂，笑道：“你是不是想看赵火的修罗场？我并不讨厌你这种看热闹的想法，但……你起码也要保证自己不在修罗场之中吧？我可不想被人看热闹哦。”
东承灵平静说道：“索，不是什么朋友都要结交，不是什么忙都该帮。”
一旁的林羡鱼也想说什么，但她摸了摸自己发红的脸，还是闭上了嘴。
刚才她说错话，被几个女生轮流扯脸，脸蛋都被扯红了，今晚回去得吃顿丰盛的宵夜才能补上损失的胶原蛋白，哭哭。
赵火和任索隔空对视一眼。
一方意气风范，一方流泪猫猫头，形成鲜明对比。
真是同人不同命，同伞不同柄。
当走出店家后，赵火问道：“那……接下来打算去哪？”
东承灵说道：“我们瞬移回去，不用管我们。”
孙淑说道：“火哥你开车，我们要回你家。”
“回我家？！”
赵火真是又惊又喜，难道真如任索所说，他今晚要超额完成目标了！？
“没错，我们打算去参观一下你的珍藏。”孙淑嘻嘻笑道：“你的那些手办、藏品、自己画的同人本，我们都要好好参观一遍，来完全充分地了解你。”
咔擦。
赵火一想到他买的那些18r手办、大尺度抱枕、官能纯爱本子，感觉脑海里有根线崩掉了。
要知道每次小孟她们来他家，他都会好好收拾这种东西，对外只会露出他人畜无害的美好二次元脸孔，哪怕孙淑也只知道学长是个大龄二次元。
唯一看过他藏品的，也就只有任索这个又黄又不懂二次元的普通变态而已啊！
人设崩坏！
危！
不等赵火回过神来，小孟又说道：“我也打算在你那住一段时间，正好我要调查超凡学生的学习情况，写几篇文章来帮忙宣传，时间大概要……半个月？”
咔擦。
赵火脑海里又有根线崩掉了。
上次小孟也就住了四五天，所以赵火还能装下去，每天8点起床，12点睡觉，黄游gal基本不玩，甚至连番都少看了。
现在一住就要住半个月！？
我生物钟岂不是要被扭转回去了！？
生活惊变！
危！
就在这时候，樊大小姐叉着手拱在胸前，说道：“火哥你也好久没去见老爷子了吧？过两天周末，我订好机票了，跟我们一起回去吧。”
赵火微微一怔：“你们……？”
“是啊，我们三个。”樊大小姐目光流转，温柔说道：“丑妇终须见家翁……作为你的女朋友，去探望一下伯父伯母很正常吧？而且我也好久没去见赵老爷子了。”
咔擦！
赵火脑海里连崩几根线！
赵老爷子是什么人？
用一个简单的事实来说，就是赵火宁愿去北海道过年都不愿意回去见的人。
没办法，你不能强求一个小屁孩天天挨揍变成玄国武道最强者，顺带每天苦读考上985高校，然后还得是拥有一颗大孝心的武圣至少赵火不能。
而且赵老爷子还特别不待见赵火喜欢纸片人的爱好，两人又是执拗顽固不肯低头的武人，基本是一见面就火山爆发。
赵火18岁那年，以赵家的名义打遍天下无敌手后，就基本不去见老爷子，上大学的学费全是他自己搞兼职赚的。
以他现在混乱的感情生活，带三个女朋友回去见老爷子，要么被老爷子的父爱如山狠狠砸死，要么就是他赵大孝子再次尽孝。
反正不可能得到老爷子的祝福。
但赵火本来就不需要老爷子的祝福，他早在上大学的时候户口迁到集体户口，结婚都不用回家。
然而现在她们想要和赵火回去见老爷子，他无法拒绝。
只是赵火光是想想那场面，就感觉脑壳痛。
亲情陷阱！
危！
赵火只好强作笑颜，说道：“你们怎么忽然会有这种想法？”
樊大小姐笑道：“跟东小姐她们聊了聊，发现任索都带她们进行过类似的流程，所以我们也想跟进一下。”
小孟牵住赵火的手，说道：“你不是不愿意放弃任何一个吗？那我们就试试参与到你的生活里吧。”
孙淑说道：“火哥，证明你的诚意，通过这些普通的考验吧。”
任索你这个氪金肝帝！
你进度也太快了吧！我跟不上啊！
我只是想维持原来的状态啊！怎么忽然就要越级挑战boss了！？
赵火满眼泪光地看向任索那边，忽然想起什么，问道：“那东老师她们没有对任索的考验吗？”
“嗯？”
东承灵她们同时看过来，赵火声音这么大，她们全都是耳聪目明的修士，哪会听不见？
任索自然也听见樊大小姐她们跟任索的对话，心里暗暗震惊。
亲情。
生活。
爱好。
全面入侵！
赵火这次扑街了。
任索心里非常忐忑，樊大小姐她们跟东承灵等人交流之后，就学会这么毒辣的攻略方法，那东承灵她们，为他准备了什么酷刑呢？
“考验啊……”乔木依忽然问道：“现在是我的时间吧？”
东承灵、古月言、任星美都脸色一黑，纷纷点头。林羡鱼拿出手机，准备拍照。
就在任索紧张的注视里，乔木依走过来搂住他脖子，目光流转间满是媚意，轻声说道：“小索，还愣着干嘛？”
女友有令，任索毫不迟疑，搂住乔木依的纤腰轻轻印上去，尝尝唇膏的味道。
赵火睁大眼睛。
东承灵，使出你们东家人才会的瞬移啊！
古月言，你的月光呢？快用你的无敌月光想想办法！
任星美，你怎么可以玩猫？快点帮你哥脱困啊！你看你哥都快窒息了！
林羡鱼，你……你怎么在拍照？
就在赵火困惑的视线里，任索和乔木依完成了一次酣畅淋漓的法式湿吻，然后乔木依靠在任索怀里，笑着对赵火说道：“这就是我们对他的考验。”
凭什么！？
凭什么任索的试炼是天上人间，我的试炼却是阴曹地府？
赵火朝任索使了个颜色。
兄弟，救救我，帮帮忙！
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a smile blooming on his lips.
His head was slightly raised, with a hint of pride shown on his chin.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, with a hint of happiness in his pupils.
Ren Suo, who was hugging Qiao Muyi, completed the above facial movements in an instant.
He showed a confident smile that he wanted to hold back but couldn't, as if he didn't recognize anyone else.
One side is full of vigor and vitality, while the other side is crying like a dog.
It is true that the same person has different fates, and the same umbrella has different handles.
Sorry, those who progress quickly can beat those who progress slowly.
You were pretending to be cool just now, but you didn't expect that you would suddenly turn to the offensive!
Who is your brother?
