"Hey bro, get online already."

Lin Mo looked at the message on his phone. After finishing his work, he turned on his computer and logged into the familiar web game interface of Rock Kingdom.

For others, this is an outdated game, but for Lin Mo, it is an indelible memory from his childhood.

In the scene at Qingfeng Mountain, there is a gorgeously dressed female Locke figure.

"Dude, can you change your character's appearance? Why is a grown man playing a female character?"

"whee."

Lin Mo was speechless, but he just made a casual comment as usual and didn't think much of it.

As usual, the two of them caught pets and explored the map together in the game, occasionally battling against their old pets, and time flew by.

This is Lin Mo's only form of entertainment: an old game from his childhood and an online friend of unknown identity who is willing to stay with him all the time.

When he logged off today, the female Locke sent him a meet-up invitation, saying that since they had been playing together for so long, they should meet up, because he wouldn't have much time to play the game in a while.

"Filming? Dude, are you an extra?"

"Hey bro, I'm a rising star actress!"

Lin Mo sent the other party a disgusting emoji and replied: "Keep talking nonsense. I've been playing Rock Kingdom with you for two or three years. Do you think I don't know your identity?"

I'm guessing you're either a college student or an unemployed, lazy bum, otherwise how come you have time to wait for me to come online every day?

"Hey bro, are you coming or not? I happen to be in a city very close to yours this time. If you don't come, you might never see me again, hmph!"

"Dude, you're not doing something like Brokeback Mountain, are you?"

Hehe~

Lin Mo got goosebumps all over. The thought of a strongman locking up a man sent a surge of instinctive fear and disgust into his brain.

Just as he was about to refuse, the other party sent another message.

"Actually... I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I don't want to talk about these things with the people around me. They're different from you; they can listen to me quietly."

I just wanted to talk to someone.

Lin Mo's heart softened, and she accepted the online friend's invitation to meet in person.

---

Time quickly came to the day of the face-to-face meeting.

After confirming repeatedly that the other party would not plot against him, Lin Mo even bought himself a hidden camera and a personal tracking device, fearing that he would be taken away as prey.

He sat in the secluded coffee shop where they had arranged to meet, sipping his freshly served Americano, glancing out the window every now and then while looking at business messages on his phone.

At the appointed time, a chubby boy with a thick beard and wearing white knee-high socks walked in through the door.

Lin Mo frowned, feeling an instinctive resistance towards the other party.

In the end, he endured the physical discomfort and waved to the other person.

Unexpectedly, a burly man sitting behind Lin Mo stood up and asked the bearded man who had just walked in, "Honey, who is he? Did you make an appointment with a second one behind my back?"

The bearded man quickly hugged the burly man and said, "Brother, how could that be? My feelings for you are genuine."

The bearded man glanced at Lin Mo, whose scalp tingled, and said, "This guy's physique isn't good, and his face isn't good either. Why would I be interested in him?"

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

Lin Mo swallowed hard, stood up, and sincerely apologized.

To be honest, he was quite frightened.

The two brothers then stopped arguing and left the shop with the coffee they had bought.

Lin Mo could see the coffee shop owner trying to suppress his laughter, but a pleasant, clear laugh came from not far to his side, not from the middle-aged man.

It was a person completely covered up, dressed in a neutral, casual style, wearing a hat and a mask, revealing only a pair of smiling, bright eyes.

When Lin Mo met his gaze, his heart began to race involuntarily.

They must have been scared!

Lin Mo sat up straight, trying to cover up his embarrassment by playing on his phone.

He sent a message to his online friend: "Dude, are you kidding me? I've been waiting here for over ten minutes!"

Just then, the person next to Lin Mo's phone vibrated. Lin Mo didn't pay any attention to it, but as soon as he heard the sound of typing on a keyboard, a message came from a netizen.

"I've been waiting for you for over half an hour!"

Lin Mo had just finished reading the message when he heard the person next to him say "Good brother," followed by a burst of clear, silvery laughter. They were clearly amused by Lin Mo's mistaken identity.

Lin Mo wore a helpless expression. Just as he sat down in front of his online friend, the person spoke softly in a pleasant voice, "I'm always the one waiting for you. Can't you just log on earlier?"

"Why do you talk like a girl?"

The voice, when spoken to a woman, is a sweet, girlish voice; but when spoken to a man, it's just as terrifying as the scene from Brokeback Mountain.

"I'm a girl, I've told you so many times, but you just won't believe me!"

The netizens raised their voices a bit, sounding somewhat angry, but for some reason, they didn't dare to speak loudly.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes, looking like she simply didn't believe it.

"You don't trust me! Then why did you agree to meet me? Are you afraid of being betrayed by your best friend?"

At this point, netizens started chuckling again.

Lin Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, treating it as just another strange meetup experience, and didn't intend to think too much about it.

But the person opposite, after seeing the bar owner turn around and go into the kitchen, pulled off his mask, revealing a delicate and three-dimensional face.

Lin Mo retorted, "Even if you were a handsome man, I still wouldn't like you!"

The netizen rolled their eyes and then took off their hat. At the same time, a voice appeared in Lin Mo's mind.

Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and as her hair was let down, an aura unique to the white moonlight naturally emerged.

Her eyelashes are very long, and they always catch the attention of those around her when she blinks.

"Good buddy?"

Zhou Ye looked at Lin Mo, who was in a daze, and waved her fair hand in front of Lin Mo's eyes.

When Lin Mo came to his senses, he saw a sweet smile on Zhou Ye's delicate face. At that moment, he felt as if he were immersed in the beautiful moonlight, and his heart became quiet and comfortable.

"Or...why don't you just betray me?"

Zhou Ye snorted coldly, put his mask and hat back on, and muttered under his breath, "Rogue."
