The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"I know, what are you grinning about?"

Xu Zhixiao, wearing a white lab coat, was sitting in her office, grinning foolishly at her phone.

Upon hearing my colleague's voice, I instinctively looked up.

"Have you guys seen that video of Lu the Matchmaker?"

"I see, this matchmaker is quite handsome."

"Of course."

Xu Zhixiao is someone who is used to smiling without showing her teeth.

But when she hears praise for Lu Yuan, she finds it hard to keep her smile from showing her teeth.

"Okay, we bought some late-night snacks. Would you like to come and have some?"

"I..."

Xu Zhixiao glanced at the fried chicken in the takeout box and forced herself not to vomit.

Some things, after years of habit, have long since evolved into physiological reactions.

She actually really wanted to join in the fun with everyone, but she just couldn't.

People who don't fit in with others may appear lonely.

But as long as your heart isn't lonely, it's okay.

She sat at her desk, constantly...

She watched the video over and over again, more than a dozen times.

Keep in mind that this is a long video of more than ten minutes.

She didn't even turn the playback speed up.

When he comes across a handsome or funny face, he'll take a screenshot and turn it into an emoji, then rack his brains to add appropriate captions.

Then send them to Lu Yuan one by one.

Even if she doesn't return to him because of his distance, he still enjoys it.

Because it was the first time in her life she had played this kind of game, she had a lot of fun.

Try to play these kinds of games as little as possible.

Because as you play, you might realize, "I kind of miss him."

Xu Zhixiao scratched his head, and a figure immediately popped into his mind.

Because both of them are very busy with work, she hasn't seen Lu Yuan in a long time.

So she tentatively sent Lu Yuan a message:

"What are you doing?"

"I'm thinking about tomorrow's live stream."

"Then you go ahead and get busy."

Xu Zhixiao sent a Lu Yuan emoji.

The word "呆" (dāi, meaning "dazed" or "out of focus") is written on it; it was taken from a clip of Lu Yuan staring blankly into space.

She kept admonishing herself.

It's normal to be busy with work, and it's normal not to have time to chat with yourself.

So she stood up and prepared to chat with her colleagues for a while.

But as soon as she got close and smelled the fried food, she felt a little nauseous.

So she had no choice but to go back to her workstation to read again.

A book she had read so many times it was practically falling apart: *If I Had Three Days to See*

A classic work can evoke different insights when read at different stages of life.

When she was little, she only thought the story was wonderful because she had never understood the world of blind people.

After becoming a medical student, she felt that "it would be great if we could really give blind people three days of sight," because many children live in darkness from birth, and don't even know how many colors there are in the world, or what their parents look like... This is truly regrettable.

If we could give them three days to properly see the world, that would be a good thing.

But as she picked up the book again, an idea vaguely popped into her mind.

"Perhaps giving me three days of sight would be the most painful punishment in the world."

You can keep people in the dark and they can live.

But after he sees the light, will he be able to go back?

Just like her right now.

Her hand was only on the first page, but her eyes had already drifted to her phone.

Because my phone received a message.

She picked it up quickly.

It was just a weather forecast, reminding her that there would be strong winds.

But once you pick up this phone, you can't put it down.

She watched the matchmaking video again, then opened the chat window and hesitantly sent a message: "Let me know when you're done."

A message quickly replied from the other end of the phone:

"Is there something you need?"

"I...I'm fine."

"Have you finished writing your original songs?"

"no."

Xu Zhixiao answered truthfully.

She was actually trying hard to write, but she felt she was still lacking some inspiration.

"Then sing Cinderella during your live stream tomorrow."

"good!"

Xu Zhixiao agreed with a smile.

Because that's what she originally thought too.

Lu Yuan kept humming this song, so she figured he must like it.

"I'm so nervous, there will definitely be a lot of people in your live stream."

"Don't be nervous, big sister. You might need my help later."

"She's not your older sister."

That's what they say.

But Xu Zhixiao proudly raised her head on the other end of the phone, her snow-white neck exposed in mid-air.

I'm so happy to hear that there's something I can do to help!

"Then you'll have to figure out a way to make me less nervous!"

"Let me treat you to a late-night snack; consider it your appearance fee."

"But I'm on duty. Why don't you buy some and bring them to me?"

Xu Zhixiao's small eyes lit up, and she immediately came up with a good idea.

"No, I was just being polite, you actually ate it?"

"The boss is a cheapskate; he promised to treat us to a meal and then went back on his word."

"Okay, okay."

Looking at this reply.

Xu Zhixiao's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

...

Xu Zhixiao's lips turned down, and she looked troubled.

Because what Lu Yuan was holding was duck blood vermicelli soup.

"What's wrong? You're not even eating the duck blood and vermicelli soup?"

Lu Yuan knew she was picky, but this was the healthiest food he could buy.

"Duck blood and vermicelli soup is inherently high in salt, purines, and fat. Moreover, many shops add large amounts of salt, MSG, chicken essence, and compound seasoning powder when simmering duck bone broth, making it very easy for the sodium content to exceed the recommended levels..."

"Stop, stop, stop! It's your own fault for not eating, not that I didn't invite you."

Lu Yuan opened the fast food box and started eating immediately.

They ate and talked at the same time.

After all, his main purpose for this trip was to give instructions for tomorrow:

"You can come out at the end of the live stream, and I'll give you a signal then..."

"You can't talk while eating, it's disruptive..."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Lu Yuan had no choice but to bury his head in his food and eat.

Xu Zhixiao was watching from the side, but as she watched, a sudden impulse arose in her mind.

The urge to pick up the spoon.

Because you definitely have to drink the soup when making duck blood vermicelli soup.

After taking a sip of soup, Lu Yuan put the spoon aside and started looking for duck blood with his chopsticks.

Yes, she wanted to pick up the spoon Lu Yuan had just used to drink soup because there was a piece of duck blood on it.

Her strong impulses made her behavior somewhat out of control.

She quietly reached out her hand, picked up the spoon without anyone noticing, and ate the remaining duck blood.

Just as she was trying to quietly put the spoon back.

She met Lu Yuan's terrified eyes.

"Big sister, this is what I ate!"
