Chapter 7: contention, old friends, a heartfelt wish

A few days later, Xiaochi Chi started to pack up and prepare for the move to another apartment in Jiancheng.

He hired a moving company to remove his beloved piano from Baihua Yang's house, in the name of keeping Baihua Yang's parents from getting suspicious.

After going to the piano, the living room seemed much emptier.

Although the legs of the piano were padded, the place where it was placed still left a white mark with a different color from the surrounding floor.

Xiaochi Chi picked up a bucket of water and scrubbed the floor with a humming song.

Baihua Yang is also busy cleaning up and getting ready to welcome Mom and Dad.

Yuan Cheng hummed the song that was played to him in the car that day, shaking his head, happy as can be.

This pleasure fell on Baihua Yang's eyes, but he added a few annoyance.

When Yuan Cheng was a student at the college, he was obsessed with the pioneering music of "vocal instrumentation", which was extremely cold and demanded a high level of professionalism, so Yuan Cheng's small band never had more than five members in four years.

Baihua Yang once went to see them perform at Yuan Cheng School, where they sang and danced in a small music room with tambourines and fiddles, singing without lyrics, just improvising, picking up melodies and harmonizing with each other.

After the song, Yuan Cheng ran over to Baihua Yang with his guitar in his arms.

Baihua Yang wrung out a bottle of water and gave it to him, "Are you guys going to perform somewhere."

Yuan Cheng holds his water bottle: "No. We're just playing."

He poured down two sips of water, "Like it?"

Baihua Yang laughs and asks him in return, "Are you happy?"

Yuan Cheng smiled and showed a row of small white teeth: "Happy."

Baihua Yang helped him to gather his hair: "I like it when you are happy."

At that time, Yuan Cheng was still young, just a sophomore, and was immersed in the honey pot, what do you know? It's normal that he only knew how to play.

...... But by now why is he still growing out of it?

Four years of college, he was focused on "play", and now there is no skill, and expects to live on music, do you want to live on "play" for the rest of your life?

Xiaochi Chi didn't bother to guess Baihua Yang's complicated thoughts at the moment, and just hummed a song.

Baihua Yang put the shabby dunnage on the edge of the balcony to dry, dried her hands, rubbed Xiaochi Chi's hair, and said in the helpless tone of a child, "Why do you feel so happy to be moving out?"

Xiaochi Chi is quite happy, and even wanted to celebrate with a 3:00 fireworks display.

After all, he doesn't want to spend the extra 4 points a day to keep his modesty safe with Baihua Yang.

Xiaochi Chi said, "No, no, no. My friend and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and this time we're staying at his house, so we'll have a lot to talk about."

Baihua Yang frowned imperceptibly, "What friend?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Fatty."

"What is the name of ......?"

Xiaochi Chi replied softly, " Ying Lou ."

I don't know if it was his own illusion, but when he mentioned the word "Ying Lou", Baihua Yang found that "Yuan Cheng's" eyebrows and tone of voice were too gentle for a moment, as if this name was a treasure hidden in his heart for him. The name is a treasure that is hidden in his heart and not easily shown to others, and he is only willing to take it out occasionally to polish it.

Baihua Yang was alerted, "How come you've never mentioned it?"

Xiaochi Chi dipped the rag in a bucket of water and twisted it again: "He left the country a long time ago."

Baihua Yang then remembered that she hadn't asked an important question: "You only told me that you found a place to live, but you haven't told me where you live."

Xiaochi Chi signed up for a neighborhood and then began to enjoy the change in Baihua Yang's face.

-- where the monthly property fee is a hair above Baihua Yang's salary.

The system said, "There is not Cheng gradually ......"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Shh, don't talk, take heart."

System: "What does ...... experience?"

Xiaochi Chi : "Kryptonian players hanging pleasure ah."

System: "......"

Baihua Yang looked back and asked, "How is that Ying Lou ...... person?"

Xiaochi Chi replied, "It's great. He was my best friend when I was a kid."

Baihua Yang's thin lips pursed, "Cheng, how long has it been since you and he saw each other?"

Without thinking, Xiaochi Chi replied, "More than 12 years."

Hearing this, Baihua Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said in a gentle voice, "12 years, it's been so long, he must be different from before."

Xiaochi Chi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess."

"People's hearts are separated from their bellies. He invited you to stay at his home, do you know what he has in mind?"

Xiaochi Chi looked back with Yuan Cheng's innocent bunny-like eyes, as if he didn't understand what Baihua Yang was saying.

Some people are together day in and day out, and that heart is still impervious to guessing.

Seeing that Yuan Cheng did not take his cornered advice to heart, Baihua Yang's mind became more confused.

Although Yuan Cheng has a calm and gentle personality, his family background makes it impossible for Yuan Cheng's circle of friends to be on the same level as Baihua Yang.

Whenever Yuan Cheng's friends appear, they are reminding Baihua Yang over and over again that Yuan Cheng and he are not from the same world.

Baihua Yang needs to bring him into his circle.

As a result, with his planning and persuasion, he has helped Yuan Cheng draw a line under many people in his former circle of friends whom he did not consider worthy of friendship.

But who would have thought that another Ying Lou would come out now?

This conversation made the atmosphere between the two not very pleasant.

To be precise, it is only Baihua Yang's unilateral unpleasantness.

That night, he texted Yuan Cheng to inform him that the chief executive had temporarily called him to work late and he would not be back to sleep at night.

Soon, Yuan Cheng texted back, "Go for it." It was followed by three hearts.

Baihua Yang : "......"

After answering Baihua Yang's text message, Xiaochi Chi lay back on the soft queen-size bed in her apartment and said to her system, "I wonder what his face would look like if he came home and found out I had moved out."

The system thought, probably the expression of good feeling -20.

Xiaochi Chi stretched: "His parents are coming the day after tomorrow, right? When they don't come, they want me to move out, and when they do, they're not happy. Men are all big pig-headed."

The system admired Xiaochi Chi's calmness, but still couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Chi, please pay attention to the progress of the mission."

These days, Xiaochi Chi has been on the verge of passing Baihua Yang's favorability rating, and Xiaochi Chi has ignored the only criterion for completing the mission, remorse value.

Xiaochi Chi said back to the system, "You're not tired?"

System: "...... eh?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "You've been calling me Mr. Chi for days now, are we that unfamiliar?"

The system did not speak.

He didn't used to be like this, all the hosts were pretty good with him.

This continued until he was reported by his eighth host.

From the ninth host, he began to address the host as "Mr. X".

"If you're not familiar, you're not familiar." Xiaochi Chi Rather quickly understood the system's concerns from the silence, generously said, "less contact feelings, lest I go in the future, you will be sad to cry out."

System: "......"

Xiaochi Chi : "Because you will never find a good host like me who will allow you to watch movies in my head in the middle of the night."

System: "............"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Next time, remember not to release it publicly."

The system says: "...... sorry."

Xiaochi Chi said, "It's okay, I haven't seen that movie for a long time, so I'll go back and watch it with you."

System guilt, but still have doubts: "Mr. Chi, you did not use the hypnosis card?"

These days, Xiaochi Chi brush out the goodwill are used to exchange for hypnosis cards, first numb Baihua Yang, and then numb themselves, so that the system feels that they have been downgraded from a serious system into a sweatshop.

"I feel shallow." Xiaochi Chi said, "Besides, that hypnosis card is not a dead pig card."

The system apologized again, "I'm sorry."

Xiaochi Chi asks, "Is my movie good."

System: "...... is very good looking."

Xiaochi Chi said, "That's good. You can download the movies I'm in here, so you might even see me when I get back from my mission."

Hearing Xiaochi Chi say this, the system asks rhetorically, "Is your heart's desire to go back to the original world?"

Xiaochi Chi raised his eyebrows, "Of course."

The system secretly smiled bitterly.

System 061 works for the "scum attack recovery system", is only one of the many world systems in the branch. The hosts of these missions, without exception, are in their respective worlds in life-threatening accidents, about to dissipate the brain waves captured by the general system, the waves extended to various parallel worlds of the survey system to be able to extradite them to come.

The total system will sign a contract with the hosts and dispense a system that will allow them to perform certain tasks.

After completing ten worlds, the hosts can make a wish and the contract with the hosts will be automatically released after the total system completes this wish.

As for their real-world □□□□, the system can only guarantee to maintain their minimum survival needs.

According to the system's private communication, they have taken all the hosts, when they first entered almost all have the desire to "go home".

However, the flow of time in the mission world is the same as the flow of time in the host's reality.

It goes without saying what it means for a person to lie in bed like a walking corpse for months or even years.

Just this is enough to make all the hosts that 061 has brought through change their hearts and minds in the second half of the mission.

Half of the reason for 061's pursuit of efficiency is to get the hosts home as soon as possible, but so far it has not succeeded even once.

-- they all coincidentally chose a certain mission world to stay and let their original physical bodies die.

The reason he urged Xiaochi Chi to act quickly was because he was afraid that he would be delayed in the mission world for a long time and forget where he came from.

These days, 061 has read a lot about Xiaochi Chi, and in the movie, he has seen Xiaochi Chi for what he is.

He looked a little more stunning than he thought he would.

His eyes are light, his face always with a desire to satisfy the weary meaning, a half-length of thick black hair simply tied behind the head, looking long neck, strong thin body, slender bones, waist nest and muscle but as much.

Even if he is playing a fishing village boy, he also brings a different noble aura from the others, precisely the heart is higher than the sky but the tragic fate of the teenager performed the vitality to.

Xiaochi Chi is from a surprisingly mediocre background, unlike his aristocratic looks.

His father is a toothbrush factory worker, his mother is a woman worker in a small local food factory, a set of ancestral silo house, and his parents do not have a good relationship. After joining the circle, he does not have any special good friends, love experience is zero, but is very popular with a number of industry seniors and bigwigs in the circle, including the screenwriter bull Guangren Sun especially.

Taking all the information and data together, 061 believes that for Xiaochi Chi, his career is probably the most important and worthwhile thing in his original world.

So, he prompted Xiaochi Chi with words, "You were quite successful in your old world, and it would be too bad if you didn't go back."

To my surprise, Xiaochi Chi said, "It's not a pity."

"I'm going back. Because there's no one to visit his grave but me."

System: "......"

He thought of the Bei Mang cemetery and Xiaochi Chi's mention of "Ying Lou" in front of Baihua Yang, and pondered.

"'Ying Lou', a friend of yours?"

Xiaochi Chi didn't answer and reached for the bedside table.

There lay the sleeping pills he had bought today.

This week he can not contact Baihua Yang, can not brush too much goodwill, he does not want to take this just pass the goodwill to make hard.

Now the key event has not yet triggered, good sense if it drops too low, there is no guarantee that there will not be any unexpected changes, so he decided to save, like the present world, using drugs instead of hypnosis cards.

He knocked a piece of medicine, think, and took a piece, not on the water, directly swallowed.

Only after swallowing the medicine did Xiaochi Chi answer the system's question, "It's my best friend."

...... is exactly the same as what he told Baihua Yang.

061 wanted to ask, you can't sleep and he had something to do with it, but when the words were about to come out, he held back.

This is not something that a system should worry about. Like he said, they are one person and one system, there is no need to climb too deep, when the time comes, they will always be separated.

The system decided to be a cold and emotionless system.

It's better to push him to think more about the mission.

The effects of the drug gradually began to take effect.

After listening to the system's prodding, Xiaochi Chi tightened the quilt and lazily yawned: "...... want to break the game, the top, middle and bottom, there are three ways."

061: "...... eh?"

Xiaochi Chi stretched one hand out and padded it behind his head, "Remember what I asked you to do when I first got here."

Of course, 061 remembers, but he doesn't quite understand Xiaochi Chi's intentions.

He asked 061 to play the world line from beginning to end three times, and in some places read it more than three times.

He asked to dip into Yuan Cheng's desperate emotions before he committed suicide for the experience, and asked 061 for several details.

Afterwards, he fiddled with Yuan Cheng's phone for a long time.

Xiaochi Chi closed his eyes: "......9 points of regret value counted for his starting price. Take your time, there's no rush."
