Quadruple split.

Chapter 2264 Love Letter

"what happened?"

Ji Xiaoge looked at Mo Tan, whose expression suddenly stiffened, with some uneasiness, and asked worriedly, "Is the system telling you that you are not in good health and should log off? I remember Xiao Dao... uh, my sister told me that the game cabin has this function."

"really."

Although he would not be punished by [Chivalry and Honesty] in public spaces, Mo Tan still nodded and told the truth this time. After all, from an objective point of view, he did hear the system prompts, which included the suggestion that he log off immediately.

Ji Xiaoge naturally misunderstood the meaning, and immediately thought that his guess that Mo was unwell was confirmed. He immediately stood up and flapped his wings, leaned over and gave Mo Tan a gentle headbutt, and said with a slightly red face while touching the latter's forehead: "Go offline and measure your temperature!"

"Aren't you already testing it?"

Looking at the girl's rosy face so close to him, Mo Tan finally forgot the bitter sorrow in his heart at that moment, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart: "The temperature seems to be quite high."

"Ah? What do you mean it's quite high...ah!"

Ji Xiaoge, who had just realized that they could measure each other's temperature with their heads (foreheads) in their current state, jumped up and down on the spot, stretched out her hand and flicked Mo Tan's head lightly, and said angrily: "I think you are still not feeling well enough!"

The latter nodded immediately and smiled: "Yes, I feel I am in good condition."

"Stop it! Go and get some rest!"

Ji Xiaoge waved his small fist without any threat and said fiercely: "Otherwise, I will make you suffer!"

"Okay, okay~"

Mo Tan raised his hands in surrender and said meekly, "I will obey you all, little ancestor."

"Then I'll go to the public space to watch the game. It's lively there."

Lu Jiang, who was almost stuffed to death, stood up at the right time and simply and directly expressed his desire to act alone as soon as possible to find relief: "I didn't watch all the games in the past few days. Fortunately, the brothers of Wreck-It Ralph promised to take a good rest today, so I will watch the finals in a down-to-earth manner."

"Okay, go ahead."

Ji Xiaoge said this without even turning her head, then she stood on tiptoe and pinched Mo Tan's cheek, saying with a smile, "I'll go offline and check on your situation, then go watch the game with my friends. Anyway, I've been eliminated, so there's no need to avoid suspicion anymore."

Mo Tan nodded gently and gave the other party a reassuring smile: "Okay."

"Then I'll log off and wait for your email!"

Ji Xiaoge flapped his wings twice, then coughed lightly and asked in a low voice: "Or...if someone really wants my phone number, considering that you are sick right now, I can make an exception?"

Although he didn't add an 'A' in front of Yu Chen's note as obviously as he did when he was in an absolutely neutral personality, Mo Tan still 'accidentally' memorized Ji Xiaoge's contact information, to the point where he could just dial her directly if he really wanted to contact her.

Of course, since 'Mo' has no relationship with the 'Mo Tan' in reality, he naturally couldn't directly say 'I've memorized your phone number', so he could only choose to gently scratch the tip of the girl's nose with his finger and said helplessly: "Don't even think about it."

"whispering sound!"

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose and pretended to be angry, "I was just kidding! I won't let you get my contact information so easily!"

After saying that, the girl blushed and turned into a streak of white light and disappeared in an instant.

"Ahem, Brother Mo."

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jiang cleared his throat with a subtle expression, turned to Mo Tan and said seriously: "I think you and Sister Ye Ge are a perfect match, uh... uh... um..."

"Ah."

Mo Tan, who was about to log off, saw that he didn't say anything more, so he asked very considerately: "So?"

"So what I mean is, you two must be very good people, and since you are in an 'online relationship', you must have feelings for each other, right?"

Lu Jiang scratched his hair and said awkwardly, "I just feel that... if we keep going like this, won't the progress be too slow? Well, although your progress seems to be quite fast now, judging from your attitude just now, Brother Mo, I'm afraid you won't want to have any interaction with Sister Ye Ge outside of the game in the short term. Is this really a good idea?"

Mo Tan was silent for about a second, then answered irrelevantly: "This is reasonable."

"I don't think it makes sense. I didn't ask you to establish a relationship offline, but since Sister Yege doesn't seem to be joking, you should at least... become ordinary friends in real life, right?"

Lu Jiang knew very well that she was meddling in other people's business, but she couldn't help but worry about it. She said with a wandering look, "What I'm saying is, Brother Mo, you are definitely not without any ideas. You won't really be content with just 'fighting and fooling around' in the game, and then slowly fade into a role like 'Friends ABCD' at some point in time, right? Sister Yege is such a good person. If you keep going like this, you won't be afraid..."

"Little deer."

Mo Tan did not let Lu Jiang finish his words, but interrupted him and said softly: "You can know a person's face, but not his heart."

Lu Jiang was stunned and said in astonishment: "No way? Brother Mo, don't tell me that you doubt Sister Ye Ge's character. We have known each other for such a long time. There should be a limit to your wild imagination. Yes, Sister Ye Ge is really pretty, but no matter whether you are concerned or not, I will also be angry when I hear such groundless speculation..."

"Is it possible that the person I said 'You can know a person's face but not his heart' is not referring to Ye Ge."

Mo Tan turned around and smiled at the young man and beautiful girl who were trying their best to defend Ji Xiaoge, and said with a smile: "But what about me?"

Lu-chan: “…Huh?!”

"In short, my opinion on the issue of your sister Ye Ge is actually no different from yours."

Mo Tan raised his hand and touched his forehead, which seemed to still have someone's residual warmth, and said quietly from an angle where Lu Jiang couldn't see his expression: "Maybe she has some minor shortcomings, but whether in character or personality, Ye Ge is a rare good girl."

"Then how did you—"

"I have my considerations."

"Don't you like Sister Ye Ge, and are you just playing around with her?"

"If that's the case, it would make things easier."

"I don't understand, Brother Mo."

"What a coincidence! Not only you, but even I, the person involved, don't understand it."

"?"

"In the game, please keep it a secret for us, Xiaolu."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I definitely won't tell anyone. But if Lao Jia and Ya Ya figure it out, there's nothing we can do. After all, not to mention you, Brother Mo, Sister Ye Ge can't really hide her thoughts."

"I know, it's okay."

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I'll log off first. Ye Ge is still waiting for my email."

"Ah, Brother Mo, wait a minute." "Okay, go ahead."

"You just said that you... know a person's face but not his heart. You won't hurt Sister Ye Ge one day, right? You definitely won't?"

"..."

"Brother Mo?"

"I do not know."

"what……"

Watching Mo Tan disappearing into white light after leaving his last words, Lu Jiang froze in place in a daze. After a long while, he sighed deeply with a bitter face, and fell to the carpet with a tangled face, rolling around.

“Dating is so troublesome! Just watching other people dating is so troublesome!!”

……

[You have been disconnected, please choose whether to reconnect? ]

"No..."

[Do you want to execute the wake-up procedure? ]

"implement."

[Received, it is now October 2049, 10, 7:23, you will wake up in one minute]

"hurry up."

【Open your eyes.】

……

City B, Dexin District, Motan's apartment

"call."

After opening the hatch from the inside, Mo Tan stood up and walked to the computer after a sigh of relief. He turned on the computer and enabled the [High-efficiency Work Mode]. After the 0.5-second boot process, he quickly used gestures to open a backup mailbox using an encrypted link. He immediately saw three unread emails:

  【20491007·23:15:22】《Untitled》: Hey~ I’m out. I just peeked at my sister’s sleeping face (playing Innocence in the game cabin should also be considered sleeping, right?). She’s so cute! I feel like I got something great!

【20491007·23:15:57】《Where are the people》: Where are the people, where are the people, where are the people——!!

【20491007·23:16:34】《Are you okay》: I am a little worried. Are you really okay? Where are you? Was it raining heavily during the day? Why did you get wet? Did you take your temperature? If you see this, please reply to me first.

"..."

A hint of gloom flashed across his eyes, and Mo Tan shook his head gently. Just as he was about to edit the email, he saw another window pop up on the screen. It was probably Ji Xiaoge's fourth email, but then what else could it be?

The content is simple and direct——

【20491007·23:17:49】《Untitled》：I will miss you.

"..."

Mo Tan pursed his lips, and then began to type in the editing page at a very fast speed: "Sorry, I just logged into my mailbox and took a quick temperature test. I feel like I might have a low fever. It's probably because I didn't wipe my hair clean before going straight into the game cabin. I just took some medicine, and I think I'll be sleepy after the medicine takes effect, so I plan to lie down on the bed for a while."

After editing, I sent it. I turned and walked to the closet. I took out the thermometer gun from the second drawer on the left. I held it to my forehead and pulled the trigger. I didn’t die. I sighed and looked at the measurement result - 36.7°. I put the thermometer gun back and walked back to the computer. I clicked on the latest unread message (the time was omitted):

《Untitled》：Why did you take so long to reply? I was so worried!!!

  "Take a Good Rest": Go to bed and take a good rest if you are sick. If you want to watch the game, just watch the live broadcast on your phone. Hey, do you want me to chat with you? It's OK to chat by email. Although it's not as convenient as calling, it seems quite romantic! Few people use emails to express love now, but decades ago, the so-called love letters were sent by email!

"..."

Mo Tan raised the corner of his mouth and pursed it quickly, then replied very efficiently: "Don't worry, it's just a slight fever. Although I'm not as fit as the half-dragon in the game, I still exercise regularly. There's no need to chat. Didn't you say before that you wanted to watch the game with your friends? It just so happens that I plan to take a nap and watch the video tomorrow. You can just watch the game online without worry (*▽*). "

Half a minute later, Ji Xiaoge's reply appeared in the center of the screen again -

"Then you have to be good": If you say you have to take a good rest, you must take a good rest. You can't secretly do something else, even if you are a busy person! PS: The emoticons are so cute! I picked two pages and didn't find any good ones, so I gave up, [Emoji of a leaf with sunglasses on her hips]

"..."

Mo Tan was silent for a while and did not reply to the text. Instead, he sent Ji Xiaoge an emoticon of a cat lying on the bed with a very satisfied look on its face.

Half a minute later, Mo Tan received another reply from the other party, who didn't want him to wait any longer.

  "You are not allowed to reply to this post": Then I will log into the game as this person wishes. Well, let me explain in advance. The friends who watched the game with me have told you before that it is all the members of [Haunted Church]. Although there are two boys, one is Hei Fan you have met (sweet and sweet with Yu Chen (≧≦)), and the other is just an ordinary good friend (he was beaten to death by the girl he dumped before in the individual competition. I feel that there may be a sequel!). In short, don't worry! Okay, now listen to the command of the little pigeon, march to the bed~ Walk! Walk, walk, walk, walk! Go to bed, think of me, close your eyes and sleep (you are not allowed to reply)!

"..."

So, Mo Tan turned off the computer, walked slowly back to his bedroom, lay on the bed and fell into a light sleep. He fell into a light sleep within half a minute and woke up after a minute.

Because this was just a quick sleep and timed wake-up after professional self-training, without any additional elements added, his mental state did not change.

After completing the command to 'close your eyes and go to sleep', Mo Tan left the bedroom directly and leisurely made himself a cup of coffee.

During this process, he thought a lot, and finally emptied his mind and stopped thinking in the mist of cheap beans.

When he opened his eyes again, a will and spirit far stronger than steel appeared again in the depths of his eyes.

At this point, the mental aftereffects of the game finally disappeared completely, and the negative emotions that had seen the light of day for the first time in more than 20 years were re-stored, locked up, and suppressed deep in his mind.

The only difference from before is that this time, Mo Tan did not destroy the "key" that could match his keyhole on the spiritual level, but hid it together.

"That's good."

Mo Tan took a deep breath and looked at the innocent map he had drawn next to the computer. His eyes "inadvertently" swept across the southwestern continent circled in red ballpoint pen.

"Now is not the time."

……
