Chapter 7: Long time no see
"It's time to get off work. Let's go. I'll show you where I live!" Ye Xiu stretched.
Bai Mo glanced at the time and realized that it was already seven o'clock in the morning. After getting to know his colleagues who had taken shifts with him, he followed Ye Xiu with a somewhat unsteady step.
I feel like I have done a lot this evening and finally I can go to sleep.
"Your suitcase." Ye Xiu said helplessly.
Bai Mo reacted and went back to the bar to drag the suitcase. The place where he lived was not far away, on the second floor of the Internet cafe, a large apartment, which was a different world.
Just when Bai Mo was thinking about which room belonged to him, he saw Ye Xiu push open the door of a room: "Here."
This was a storage room. There was already a bed in it. There were two quilts on the bed and a note on them. Ye Xiu picked it up and looked at it, then put it down. After searching in the storage room for a while, he pulled out a spring bed and said, "We will live here from now on. The boss said that the bed and quilt are for you. They are new and have never been used."
Bai Mo took a look, smiled, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Not bad."
He really didn't mean to be disgusted. When he was studying abroad, he relied on scholarships for tuition, and relied on the cafeteria and school dormitory for food and accommodation. During the holidays, he found some odd jobs, painted portraits for people on the roadside, and sometimes even lived in overpasses and parks.
It was not until he met Andvari that he made some money from Glory, so he was quite satisfied with his current environment.
His family would give Bai Mo a lot of money every month , but he didn't spend any of it.
"You really don't plan to go home?" After making Bai Mo's bed, Ye Xiu lit a cigarette, looked at the cigarette box, and threw the last cigarette to Bai Mo.
Bai Mo was not polite, and the storage room suddenly became filled with smoke: "Well, didn't we agree to play Glory together?"
"Are you serious? At least we still have Ye Qiu in our family. Uncle Bai only has you as his son." Ye Xiu scratched his head. He felt a little regretful now.
The Bai and Ye families have a good relationship. When they were young, Uncle Bai beat them just like he beat his own children. If Uncle Bai knew that Bai Mo was dragged out by him to fight Rong Yao...
"What are you afraid of? Can he beat you to death?" Bai Mo curled his lips: "Besides, he has another daughter now, so he probably doesn't have the mood to care about me."
"...Okay, I'll test your ability after you get up. If it's not up to standard, you'd better go home obediently." Ye Xiu sighed: "By the way, what about your major? It would be a pity if you don't use it after attending such a good university, right?"
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Bai Mo put out the cigarette butt in Ye Xiu's homemade ashtray and lay down on the bed.
The two chatted about all sorts of things for a while and then fell asleep.
He slept until three in the afternoon. After touching his empty stomach and glancing at Ye Xiu who was still sleeping, Bai Mo pushed open the door.
The toiletries had been prepared by the boss, and there was a note on the mirror reminding them that there was food left in the refrigerator.
Bai Mo smiled, the boss was quite considerate.
After taking something out of the refrigerator, he put it in the microwave to heat it up. Perhaps because he smelled the delicious food, Ye Xiu rubbed his eyes and yawned as he walked out. After he finished washing up and greeted him, the two of them finished their simple lunch and went downstairs.
The boss said that you can play with the computer casually, and the most urgent task now is to level up and improve equipment.
The place downstairs is already almost half full. It seems that yesterday was indeed a special case. The boss is chatting with someone at the bar.
Seeing Bai Mo and Ye Xiu, he quickly said, "That's the great master I told you about!"
"Master, are you the same as Guoguo?" a pleasant voice asked. The girl sitting at the bar raised her head. She was an absolute beauty with a 360-degree perfect angle. Her short hair made her look extremely capable.
When Bai Mo saw the girl, he was stunned: "Sister Xiaorou?!"
"Xiaobai?!" The beauty was also a little surprised.
"You are also a network administrator here?!" they said in unison.
"There's definitely something going on with these two!" Chen Guo said excitedly as she leaned next to Ye Xiu.
“It seems to be true!” Ye Xiu nodded seriously: “It seems that we have known each other for a long time.”
"Well... sort of, a senior?" Bai Mo blushed rarely and looked away uncomfortably.
Tang Rou could be considered a major customer of Bai Mo's in the past. She asked him to help paint many landscape paintings, and she was extremely generous every time, obviously seeing Bai Mo's predicament at that time.
"Hello, my name is Tang Rou." Tang Rou introduced herself to Ye Xiu in a very graceful : "Xiao Bai...Xiaodi Bai and I are from the same school, but in different colleges. Guo Guo, that painting was drawn by Xiaodi Bai."
Seeing her best friend looking at her with gossipy eyes, Tang Rou knew that if she didn't explain, it would probably be endless, so she could only explain: "But we haven't been in touch for a long time."
Listening to Tang Rou's voice with a hint of resentment, Bai Mo felt helpless.
Bai Mo didn't have a cell phone at that time, so he just left Tang Rou's phone number. Later, the note with the phone number on it was lost. Who would have thought that he would meet her here again? It was a little awkward.
"That picture of you feeding a cat in a cafe was actually drawn by Xiaobai! That's amazing. Have you ever…"
Did she still keep that painting? Bai Mo thought absentmindedly.
"Is Ye Xiu the expert you've been talking about?" Tang Rou quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, that's him." Chen Guo was now more interested in getting Tang Rou to play Glory together: "Come on, come on, both of you, play a round!"
"Huh? Sister Xiaorou, you can also play Glory?" Bai Mo asked.
"I can't." Tang Rou shook her head.
"If you still can't do it, then what can I do? Hurry up, turn on two machines and have a game between you two." Chen Guo hurriedly made arrangements.
Ye Xiu quietly approached Bai Mo and patted his shoulder to bring Bai Mo back to his senses: "Can you be gentler?"
"Ah?" Bai Mo was confused, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's not do it. Sister Xiaorou has a strong personality. If you are found out and you let her go..."
"Okay, then keep going!" Ye Xiu nodded.
“What a mess!” Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ye Xiu already sitting on the machine, skillfully swiping his card to enter the game.
After getting a bottle of water, Bai Mo walked behind them and put a hundred yuan next to each of them. Chen Guo said it was a prize.
Tang Rou used Chen Guo's main account, also a full-level gunner named [Zhu Yanxia], with a Purple Rose heavy cannon in her hand, while Ye Xiu used Lord Grim, a level 20 character, and naturally opened a repair field.
As soon as the game started, Zhu Yanxia raised her hand and fired an anti-tank cannon. Jun Moxiao slid over and the Thousand Machine Umbrella in his hand opened and closed, turning into a spear.
"Xiaobai, what do you think?" Chen Guo asked.
"What?"
"Who will win?" Chen Guo asked in a low voice.
"Uh... there is no comparison." Bai Mo hesitated for a while and said honestly.
"Ah?" Chen Guo was a little confused.
"Although Sister Xiaorou's hand speed is very fast, just like she said, she really doesn't know how to play." Bai Mo explained: "The operation is all based on hand speed, without considering other factors, skill cooldown, blind spot reservation, skill mechanism judgment... There are too many . In fact, Brother Ye has already let in about a billion points of water to get to this point."
"But, Xiao Tang really..."
"The winner has been decided." Bai Mo said calmly. Chen Guo quickly turned around and saw that Tang Rou's computer screen had turned gray. Zhu Yanxia fell to the ground: "Glory is not that simple. Similarly, there has never been simple glory."
While Chen Guo was stunned, the two of them played several more rounds, and more and more red Mao Zedongs were slapped on the table. Regular customers from the surrounding Internet cafes also gathered around and began to cheer for Tang Rou.
By the end, there was no cash left in Tang Rou's wallet.
By the time Chen Guo reacted and stopped Tang Rou from going back to get the money, Ye Xiu had already sorted out the money on the table.
“Want to have a fight, Xiaobai?” Ye Xiu said with a smile, “Let me see your current strength.”
"Okay." Bai Mo looked at Tang Rou who was still a little unwilling, Chen Guo who was expectant, and the excited expressions of the people around him, and responded happily.
