Lin Ziran was in a daze. He felt as if being held in someone’s arms. The embrace was warm and comfortable, he couldn’t help but instinctively moved closer. He slowly opened his eyes and then… he saw a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes smiling at him.

Lin Ziran:!

[System: You’re awake.]

[Lin Ziran: Ah, what should I do, I was kidnapped!]

[System:…… Next time when you say this, don’t blush. Thank you.]

A, am I blushing?

Lin Ziran suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Zhao Mingze, who was before him and felt as if he had just recovered. He revealed an expression of pain and disbelief: “You…”

He struggled to leave, but wasn’t able to sit up and felt weak.

Zhao Mingze put one hand on his side, leaned over and gently looked at him, his voice hoarse: “Are you hungry?”

Is this a question of hunger? You are wrong, do you understand?

Lin Ziran turned his face away to avoid his hand, and said angrily: “What on earth do you want to do?”

Zhao Mingze stared intently at him for a while and slowly said, “Don’t you know what I want? Anyway, you won’t forgive me, so why should I be cautious…?”

He paused when he said that, his gaze becoming dark and dangerous, and the corners of his lips were pulled up. He seemed to be smiling.

Lin Ziran was startled, but he quickly calmed down. Although Zhao Mingze had knocked him out, Wen Yu and Lu Sui must be looking for him now…

Lin Ziran sighed, looked at him with disappointed eyes and said, “You can’t keep me for long, don’t you know? It doesn’t make any sense for you to do so, it won’t change anything…”

“How do you know that it doesn’t make any sense for me to do this?” Zhao Mingze lips curved. He looked into Lin Ziran’s pure and focused eyes.

Lin Ziran met his gaze, and suddenly he had a very ridiculous thought, this villain…couldn’t have fallen for him?

But why would he like him?

It is more strange than Wen Yu liking him…

But the most important thing now is not this.

Just as he was about to give the villain a harmonious, positive, and positive education, Lin Ziran’s stomach grumbled, causing Zhao Mingze to laugh.

Lin Ziran: …How embarrassing.

Zhao Mingze kissed him on the forehead, got up and said, “I’ll get you something to eat.”

Lin Ziran snorted coldly.

I will fight with you for three hundred rounds when I am full!

………………

Wen Yu sat on the deck of the hotel. He raised his hand to check the time. It was already nine o’clock in the evening, but Lin Ziran still did not come.

He suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly. So, is this just a trick to tease him?

Lin Ziran would never come…

But he believed Lu Sui’s words and waited stupidly for three hours.

Wen Yu got up and picked up the phone. He was about to leave when he suddenly received a call from Lu Sui.

Lu Sui’s voice seemed a little uneasy. He asked, “Is my brother still with you? I called him, but his phone is always turned off, so I can’t get in touch.”

Wen Yu was a little surprised. “He didn’t come.”

Lu Sui grew anxious when he heard these words, “What did you say? He didn’t come?”

Wen Yu then vaguely felt that something was wrong and frowned, “Yes, I’m still here, but I haven’t seen him so I’m preparing to leave. Is…what you said to me before is true?”

He suspected that Lu Sui was lying to him.

Lu Sui suddenly shouted, “Of course it’s true! He didn’t even know that I asked you to meet him, he thought it was to see me, he couldn’t not go…impossible…Something must have happened!”

Wen Yu’s face finally changed, “Are you sure?”

“If he really can’t make it, he would have told me in advance, but I haven’t received any calls at all, and I can’t even reach him.” Lu Sui quickly calmed down and gritted his teeth: “I’m coming now. Things are not so simple.”

………………

On the other side, Lin Ziran was eating, but he didn’t expect Zhao Mingze to cook. And it’s pretty good that it suited his taste.

He said emotionally: “You have good skills.”

Zhao Mingze raised his eyebrows lightly: “Don’t be polite, I asked the chef to send it over.”

Lin Ziran: …You weren’t the one to cook itl, what don’t be polite!

Lin Ziran had already recovered some strength during the meal. He took a careful look at Zhao Mingze. Don’t look at this guy in decent clothes, he was a beast when he took off his clothes. Even if he recovered, he wouldn’t be able to fight back. He didn’t want to fight either… So once again, he persuaded with all his heart: “You should quickly let me go, do you know that this is illegal?”

Zhao Mingze suddenly smiled. He lowered his head and approached Lin Ziran, seemingly moved: “Are you concerned about me?”

Lin Ziran: “I just don’t want you to go astray!”

Zhao Mingze’s eyes became brighter and he sighed, “So…you still like me a little and care about me.”

Lin Ziran: We aren’t speaking the same language. I feel tired.

At this time, Zhao Mingze leaned forward, his warm breath fell on his ears and temples. His dark eyes seemed to be filled with strong complex emotions as he whispered: “Did you never once believe that, I love you.”

Lin Ziran was startled.

Speaking of which, until now, Zhao Mingze hasn’t gotten a advantage from him, instead he has lost a lot…

Such a loss.

He couldn’t really be in love…

No matter whether it was true or not, now that you are willing to take the risk for me, I’ll play along with you.

Lin Ziran looked at him earnestly and said, “So what if I believe you love me? It’s impossible for us.”

Because this is just a game and I will not stay in this world after all.

In my eyes, everything real is still fake.

Meaningless.

Zhao Mingze was silent for a moment. After a while, he said, “What about you? Have you ever liked me, even a little…”

Lin Ziran said: “Yes.”

Zhao Mingze’s eyes were doubtful, as if he didn’t expect to get such an answer from Lin Ziran. His lips trembled but there was no sound.

Lin Ziran smiled, of course he liked him. He likes this face, legs and waist!

Thinking that since he was going to be quitting the game anyway, Lin Ziran lazily continued to pretend. He looked at Zhao Mingze tenderly and regretfully and said with a soft voice: “I liked you.”

Zhao Mingze’s Adam’s apple bobbed a bit, and he suddenly grabbed the back of Lin Ziran’s head and kissed his lips forcefully! This kiss was fierce and gentle, as if to pour out all the emotions that he had restrained in this one kiss. After a long time… he released Lin Ziran, bit the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice, “That’s enough.”

There was a sudden violent knock on the door outside!

Zhao Mingze stood up, took a deep look at Lin Ziran, turned and walked out and opened the door.

Wen Yu and Lu Sui stood outside the door.

Lu Sui’s eyes were cold. His expression was anxious and angry, “Where is my brother? Where did you hide him?”

Wen Yu’s face was also tense and looked at Zhao Mingze coldly. He spoke with a slow but firm voice: “You’d better hand him over quickly.”

Zhao Mingze reached up and took off his glasses. His long and narrow phoenix eyes glanced at them lazily. He shrugged and let out a chuckle: “Who said he was with me? Do you have any evidence?”

Lu Sui stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Mingze by the collar and snarled, “I know it’s you!”

Zhao Mingze lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: “This is just your unilateral guess.”

Wen Yu raised his eyes and said: “Lu Zhen’s car is parked outside.” He paused, then stared at Zhao Mingze closely and said, “Do you want to release him or wait for us to call the police?”

Zhao Mingze didn’t panic and looked at them with a smile.

Lin Ziran was very anxious when he heard the noise outside. He recovered some strength at this time, struggling to stand up and walk outside.

“I’m here, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Lin Ziran held the door to stand firmly, showing a pacifying expression to them.

But this scene caused Lu Sui’s vision to crack, because Lin Ziran was only wearing a thin shirt. His collar was loose and there was a looming hickey on his neck, and he looked unstable… Something obviously happened!

After exposing Zhao Mingze’s true colors, Lin Ziran had already parted ways with him. It was impossible that he came here to sleep with Zhao Mingze, let alone stand him up for so long… It must be Zhao Mingze who used despicable means to trick Lin Ziran and humiliated him! However, Lin Ziran still tried to comfort them because he was afraid that they would be worried…

Wen Yu’s eyes also sank. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Zhao Mingze with extremely angry eyes.

Lin Ziran didn’t look good, the hostile atmosphere was simply too explosive. He didn’t dare to say anything…

Just when the atmosphere is too silent…

Zhao Mingze’s thin lips provoked and he let out a mocking laugh: “You still found out…”

He looked sideways at Wen Yu and slowly smiled: “Do you know how easy he is to fool? I just called him and told him that if he didn’t want you to have an accident, he needed to come here to see me …He came over without hesitation. He believed such lies for you…”

The blood on Wen Yu’s face faded and he looked at him in disbelief.

Zhao Mingze seemed to feel puzzled and said coldly: “I tried my best to let you two break up, but even so, he only has you in his heart. Even when he was with me, all he thought of was you…”

Lin Ziran was so surprised that his expression froze. Is Zhao Mingze crazy, why did he say all this?

 

Don’t you know that they will only be angrier? Aren’t you being too arrogant in this 2v1 match? Do you think that you won’t die fast enough?

Why are you acting like you want to carry the blame to let me and Wen Yu get back together?

What do you want to do…

Hearing these words, Wen Yu’s eyes turned red. He looked at Zhao Mingze furiously and suddenly stepped forward with a clenched fist to hit Zhao Mingze!

But this time, Zhao Mingze didn’t let him hit. Instead, he clenched his fist and sneered: “I was just unprepared last time!”

Lu Sui’s body trembled slightly, as if he had reached the extreme state of anger. He looked up furiously and joined the brawl without hesitation.

Zhao Mingze was very powerful, but two fists can’t beat four hands. Lu Sui quickly kicked him away. He also received a punch on his face. He wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, but his expression was still mocking and cold: “You are just so-so.”

Lin Ziran:…

[Lin Ziran: I feel that he’s looking for a fight…]

[System: Are you going to stop them?]

[Lin Ziran: Let me think…]

In this 2v1 match, Zhao Mingze quickly fell into a disadvantage.

He watched as Zhao Mingze took another punch. His beautiful chin had turned blue-black… Lu Sui and Wen Yu’s faces were also spotting colors.

Wen Yu was no longer calm; he had a look of pain, resentment, and self-blame on his face. He hated that he didn’t realize this earlier, didn’t understand Lin Ziran’s true intentions. He only knew to blindly immerse himself in his disappointment, blame Lin Ziran for leaving, but never thought of his good intentions. This made him sad and allowed Zhao Mingze, this despicable man, to take advantage of this gap…

Lu Sui’s suit was messed up, his hair was scattered across his forehead, and his eyes were bloodthirsty and cold! He vowed to protect his brother and never make his brother sad again… But he had been taken away by the bastard in the blink of an eye…

If he had been more careful, would this not have happened?

Lu Sui looked at Zhao Mingze’s face, his heart growing even more furious. He wanted to kill this bastard!

Seeing the status quo turn so tragic…

Lin Ziran felt that this melon(ZMZ) wasn’t as sweet anymore, and if it continues, it may be fatal. None of the three will end well, so finally he mustered up the courage to persuade…

Lu Sui clenched his fist with hatred at Zhao Mingze. He didn’t expect that Lin Ziran would suddenly rush out, his face changed drastically, but the force was too late to withdraw and he slammed Lin Ziran back!

Bang!

Before Lin Ziran could recover strength, he staggered back abruptly and felt as if something sharp had hit the back of his head. He wanted to move, but in the end, he lost his energy and couldn’t stand up.

Strange, isn’t the effect of the medicine over?

He raised his head blankly, meeting Lu Sui’s incredulous eyes, Wen Yu’s panic and shocked expression, and Zhao Mingze’s suddenly painful gaze.

[Lin Ziran: What’s wrong with them???]

[System: You are dying.]

[Lin Ziran:!!!]

[Lin Ziran: Am I going to die? Why is there no feeling? And I was only hit, is it possible to kill someone with a wall?]

[System: As long as the strength is sufficient and the angle is appropriate, death is not a problem.]

[Lin Ziran:…]

[System: As for why there is no feeling, you must have not read the user agreement and terms carefully before entering the game.]

[Lin Ziran:?] Who would take such a long thing seriously…

[System: Due to the player-protection mechanism, the initial state of the pain sensor is shut. If the player needs to experience the pain, we can turn it on to allow the user to experience the, but our company only provides 1-5 levels of pain. To experience level 5 or above, the player needs to be over 18 years old and have full civil capacity. After submitting the application in person, it can be turned on upon signing the exemption agreement…]

[Lin Ziran: Wait!]

[Lin Ziran: The point is, I won’t feel the pain at all, right? But why didn’t you say it before…] At that time, he was still struggling about whether to die or not!

[System: You never asked.]

[Lin Ziran:…]

[System: Do you want to turn on the pain experience item now? This is the terms of application and exemption agreement. If you want to experience a higher level of pain, I can provide you with the application…]

[Lin Ziran: Stop it! I didn’t say that I would apply to activate this service…] And who wants to activate this service!

[Lin Ziran thought for a while, and then wondered:… Anyway, why is it that though it’s only an opening of a sensor, the process is so complicated and there are so many clause agreement restrictions?] So troublesome…

[The system was silent for a while before saying some calm and painful words: …We have been sued before]

[Lin Ziran:…]

Wen Yu rushed over without hesitation. He hugged Lin Ziran in his arms and held Lin Ziran’s head with the other hand. There was blood dripping. His hands trembled slightly, his face was bloodless, and he muttered to himself, “You will be fine…it will be fine…”

But Lin Ziran knew that he was going to quit. Although it was only a few NPCs, he should still give a few words of explanation in the end.

They looked pitiful after all.

Lu Sui had already started calling for help. Zhao Mingze stood there with his head down blankly, as if he wanted to go forward, but he didn’t dare to… his eyes were very sad.

Lin Ziran was already unable to move. He looked at Wen Yu guiltily and said, “I’m sorry… I worried you…”

Wen Yu’s eyes were filled with deep regret. So…Lin Ziran had always loved him. He cared about him in this way, loved him… and did not hesitate to meet Zhao Mingze alone, even putting himself in danger…

You left me because you love me. Even if I’m willing to give up everything for you… you don’t want to see me give up anything for you and don’t want my career to be ruined.

Don’t want to see me in danger because of you.

You love me so much, but I misunderstood you…

If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have any troubles…

Wen Yu hugged him tightly, his eyes soft and wet: “When you get better, shall we go abroad and get married?”

He had already learned from Lu Sui that Lin Ziran was about to propose. If he hadn’t been late that day, nothing would have happened…

It was he who took the wrong step first, and he has been wrong forever.

Lin Ziran smiled helplessly, “I, cough cough, can’t continue to be by your side… Promise me, don’t be impulsive anymore… take care of yourself…”

After speaking, he turned his head slightly and stretched out his hand to Lu Sui.

Lu Sui looked down at his hand unconsciously. He looked like a child who had made a mistake, as if he could not believe what he had done. For a long while… he walked over and knelt on the ground and gently held Lin Ziran’s hand. He did not dare to exert force, only trembling slightly.

Lin Ziran said to him: “Don’t blame yourself, I know you didn’t mean it, ahem…”

Lu Sui’s eyes seemed to be unfocused. His lips moved, but he couldn’t speak.

This is the elder brother that he finally got back. He wanted to stay by this person’s side for a long time to make up for everything. He had thought for a long time and decided to snatch back the time he had lost, but in the end, he hurt this person once more. He really feels like he’d lose him completely this time…

Lin Ziran’s eyes were soft and he sighed, “I never blamed you. I didn’t before, and I won’t…”

Lu Sui lowered his head and let out a despairing sob, “Brother…”

Lin Ziran looked at Zhao Mingze last, his lips moved slightly to say something, but in front of Wen Yu and Lu Sui, it seemed inappropriate to say anything… Forget it, let’s not say anything. Anyway, I have said it before.

Although it didn’t hurt, he felt dizzy and his eyelids fell shut.

Sure enough, there is a risk in intervening in a fight!

Lin Ziran’s last thought was that it was too shameful to die in his own Shura Field, and this kind of dark history must never be known.

[Ding, the player is dead, the game is over. Now leaving——]

………………

One month later.

Zhao Mingze returned home from the company late at night, again. During this time, he would work overtime almost every day until the early hours of the morning, as if he would not think about those painful things… But no matter how late he returned home, the memories that had nowhere to escape remained.

Zhao Mingze hooked up the corners of his lips slightly, took out two wine glasses filled with wine. He looked up and stared at the space in front of him blankly, as if the gentle man in front of him would still smile at him.

He raised his glass to the space and drank it in one go.

Lu Sui and Wen Yu personally dealt with Lu Zhen’s funeral together, but Lu Sui always felt that everything was so unreal… It seemed like a nightmare that he could wake up from. It seemed that the person would come back and say lovingly, Xiao Sui, I have been waiting for you to come home…

It was raining this day. Lu Sui came to the cemetery again. He looked at the fresh tombstone and the gray photo, and for a long time, his eyes were downcasted, his expression lonely and sad.

Brother, I’m home now, and I won’t let you worry, let you down, or make you sad.

But where are you now?

At home, Wen Yu received a call from his assistant. The assistant said: You have not been to the crew for a long time, everyone is waiting for you. Director Wang is already very dissatisfied.

Wen Yu knew that everyone would be dissatisfied. He left the crew for more than a month for no reason. Now there are rumors of him using his reputation. Wen Yu smiled and said to the assistant: “Help me reject this role, and ask Director Wang to choose someone else.”

The assistant was shocked: How can you just say you won’t shoot!

He has never seen such a willful Wen Yue.

But Wen Yu had already hung up the phone.

He flicked open Wei-bo gently, tapped on the account that will never be updated, and looked down at it, bit by bit. You told me to stop being impulsive… I promise you, this is the last time, okay?

He reached the last post.

Looking at the photos and text, he couldn’t help showing a gentle smile. After thinking about it, he replied: I will love you forever.

A few days later, this sentence was picked up by fans and there was a great uproar on the Internet. They all said that Wen Yu was pampering a fan.

But only Wen Yu knew that his words were sincere.

Unfortunately, it will never receive a reply.
