Are you a 'real' person?

Zhu Jiayan often thinks about this question.

Or, when the world is only created by those people for fun, is it a real creature as a creature that exists in this virtual world?

This question bothered Zhu Jiayan for a long time, and during that time, he almost didn't think about it, and felt that his whole life had lost its meaning.

Later, he thought about his life, retrieving his memories from birth to the present, and every thought that burst out and remembered. He doesn't know if it's true or just what he thinks it's true, he prefers to believe that it's true, so that at least it can show that the world works on its own, so that he can convince himself that he can control his own destiny even in this virtual world.

It's just that the world is different from the world of the bigwigs.

Yes, in a way, he can be described by the word 'different'.

If the world doesn't work on its own according to certain parameters, then why is he breaking the truth now?

If everything about himself is set up, including every idea, he will never believe it.

He also observed other people around him.

A woman, an old man, a child......

He went to understand their lives.

Their lives are so real, they also know pain, they can feel happiness the same, they also have their own thoughts and characters, Zhu Jiayan dare not say that they have flesh and blood, at least they have feelings.

In this world, they are real people.

This virtual world is their world, and they are the real creatures in this world.

And the world of the bigwigs has no meaning to them.

- If he hadn't thought so, he would have collapsed.

Zhu Jiayan believes that his feelings are real, just like he believes in everyone he has carefully observed—if those people's feelings are fake, he really can't find a flaw. So even if the world was created by some people, it must be a world that is exactly the same as the real world according to those people's own worlds and with projects that are unimaginable to him.

After getting along with that teacher for so long, of course he has feelings.

Every day, from entering the club in the morning, eating together at noon, and leaving after work in the evening, sometimes he would send the teacher back if he hadn't practiced himself, and he thought about it, he seemed to have only spent so much time with his table mates in his pre-college student days.

Since he started school, he hasn't spent so much time with his parents every day.

Although it had only been a few months, he felt that he had established a deep relationship with the teacher, and he believed that the teacher was the same—just like the first time he played the famous domestic Xianxia game many years ago, and he cried all night after the game was over.

People have feelings for NPCs - the question that bothered him now has an answer.

Zhu Jiayan was reluctant to give up the teacher.

Just like Brother Yuanwu before, he was reluctant to pick a teacher.

His face was filled with melancholy.

Seeing that Zhu Jiayan didn't answer for a long time, the person in charge also asked with concern: "What's wrong? Could it be that something has changed?"

Zhu Jiayan shook his head: "Private matter." ”

"Broken out?"

"It's not. Zhu Jiayan sighed, "A teacher is about to leave." ”

“…… Condolences. ”

"That's not what it means, it's leaving Jinguan. ”

"Oh!" The main person in charge couldn't help but look at the young master again, he didn't expect Zhu Jiayan to be such a respectful and affectionate person, which has nothing to do with age and background, just because in this era, there are very few such people no matter what class or circle they are in.

"What's the big deal, you're still so young, and now it's no more than in ancient times, you want to meet more often. The male assistant also hurriedly comforted him, and immediately had a good impression of this future heir, and people who value feelings are always liked, "Even if your teacher goes abroad, you can fly over to see him at any time, it's just troublesome." ”

"You don't understand ......"

Zhu Jiayan sighed deeply, looking at this circle of people who knew nothing, feeling out of place with them.

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Luo, you can help me book the fastest flight back, I have to go back now, and now the car will drive directly to the airport." ”

"Huh?"

"We're going to eat tonight...... Celebration feast. ”

"Is it so urgent?"

Everyone was shocked.

Zhu Jiayan first repeated to the driver, asking him to drive directly to the airport, and then said to the male assistant again: "I have to go back now." ”

Everyone looked at each other, very helpless.

When the male assistant booked the nearest flight, Zhu Jiayan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the stationmaster: "I booked the nearest flight and came back, and I will definitely be in time for dinner tonight." ”

No response was received.

Instead, Qi Manman called him and asked him if he had received a text message from the teacher and if he could come back in the evening.

A ticket accompanied him to the airport, and Zhu Jiayan's heart settled down when he got on the plane, but he was extremely melancholy.

In the future, he will not be able to learn swords from that teacher, maybe he can continue to practice, make himself more proficient, and let himself do everything he has learned now, but after all, without the guidance of a famous teacher, his progress will definitely be affected.

And more importantly -

Among the many bigwigs, he has the best relationship with the teacher, assuming that the teacher has about the same power as the other bigwigs except for the station chief, this is his super thigh. If something happens to him, maybe the teacher can protect him.

But now it's gone......

Zhu Jiayan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Several flight attendants came to him from time to time to offer courtesy, and they would always use more snacks for passengers like him, who were rich and young and handsome at first glance, but Xiao Zhu ignored it completely, and he didn't even realize it.

After getting off the plane, the afternoon was almost over.

There was a car to pick him up outside the airport, Zhu Jiayan hurried and finally arrived at the door of the hotel at six o'clock in the evening.

Qi Manman sat on the hotel sofa and drank water, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "You arrived a little earlier than I thought." ”

Zhu Jiayan nodded, looked at the others one by one, and nodded, "Hello big guys." ”

When he saw the teacher, he almost blushed, but he still held back, pretended to be very normal, and asked, "Then teacher, why are you leaving all of a sudden, we are not prepared at all......

The teacher was also embarrassed, and said again and again: "Something happened at home, and I have to go back to deal with it, so ...... I'm sorry you guys. ”

Zhu Jiayan squeezed out a smile: "Then where is your home, teacher?"

"In southern Yunnan, in the mountains. ”

"Is it so remote, will you come back in the future?" he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart when he asked, but he wasn't sure if the teacher would come back next time he would be 'Naqu', but he didn't mind.

"I don't know. The teacher was silent for a moment, and then exhaled a long breath.

"Then if we suddenly want to come and see you......"

"The mountain is a long way off. The teacher's tone gradually became heavy, "If there is still a chance in the future, I may come back." ”

"That's good. ”

Zhu Jiayan originally prepared a few questions to make him seem normal, but his heart was really blocked, like pressing a few big stones, and he was really in no mood to ask any more.

Qi Manman also sighed and said, "I've basically asked what you asked once, don't ask again." ”

Zhu Jiayan nodded.

Cheng Yun smiled, lifted the cat bag containing the little Lori rice bowl, and said: "Don't be sad here, wait for us to be sad, since Xiao Zhu has arrived, then let's go, it's not far, you can walk directly." ”

The teacher nodded, hesitated and said, "I asked the stationmaster to order a table of dishes at the Yunxiang Hotel......

Everyone sitting down hurriedly got up.

Tang Qingying also hung up the small blackboard, this is a rare time in the hotel that there is no announcement of 'handsome than the boss with a young and beautiful sister-in-law', because she is not in the mood to be funny.

On the way to the hotel, it was not dark yet, but there were already Jinguan citizens who had come out for a walk after eating. Many locals in their forties and fifties have no house pressure and are very leisurely, and this is the time to take their dogs for a walk with their grandchildren, or to go out for tea and mahjong with three or five old friends. For young people who want to go to work, this is a good time to call friends out to eat hot pot and skewers.

"Zizi Zi ......"

A very beautiful red remote-controlled racing car is running on the sidewalk, not fast, but the body is lit up, and it is very beautiful to look at.

The teacher was instantly drawn to his attention.

He followed the remote-controlled racing car, walked more than ten meters, and suddenly turned his head, only to see a child about five or six years old with yellowish fine hair, holding the remote-controlled car in both hands, and staring at the remote-controlled racing car without blinking.

Suddenly, the RC car got stuck in a gap in the sidewalk, and it happened that it couldn't run under the teacher's feet.

The teacher stopped, paused, crouched down, and picked up the RC car, the rear wheels of which were still spinning.

He put the car on the flat ground next to him and stood up again.

The child didn't know how to thank him, but a man about his age next to him grinned at him, then grabbed the child by the collar and forced him to thank the teacher.

"Thank you, uncle......"

The kid did as he was aggrieved, and then immediately set his sights on his newly purchased RC racing car.

The teacher smiled and looked at him and his RC car quietly.

When they got to the intersection, the father and son crossed the zebra crossing to the left, and they went to the right, and the teacher stood still.

I faintly heard the child's father say in a gloating tone, 'You drive on the road, wait for someone to step on you, I won't buy you a new one, I won't pay attention to you when you cry, I'll record it'. The child turned a deaf ear and muttered things like 'rush, rush', but no one stepped on his RC car until he crossed the zebra crossing, and everyone avoided him.

The teacher could vaguely imagine the father's helpless expression.

Zhu Jiayan and Qi Manman followed behind him, and suddenly, Zhu Jiayan asked, "Then teacher, do you have a child?"

Qi Manman instantly showed a look of surprise.

The teacher was silent for a moment and nodded, "A son." ”

Qi Manman was even more surprised: "Then teacher, you are actually married! I thought you were single!"

Zhu Jiayan had been observing the teacher's expression, and he saw an incomprehensible look in the teacher's eyes at this time, which made him wonder, could it be that in that world, the teacher was not doing well?

Qi Manman stood up and said: "Then teacher, do you want to buy a set of remote control racing cars for your son, I know where to buy them, and there are also remote control planes, I'll buy you a set!"

The teacher was silent, his eyes flickering, obviously very moved, but finally he shook his head.

"No need. ”

He didn't dare to bring the RC car back.

Zhu Jiayan's face was calm, and he knew it very well in his heart.

Although they didn't think the same thing at all, the result was exactly the same.

Passing through many shops along the way, the teacher thought that he had experienced the beauty of the world enough, but he found that the prosperity of the world was far beyond his understanding.

All kinds of jewelry, a dazzling array of cosmetics and skin care products, these made him fascinated.

If you think about it carefully, not only has the son never played with these toys, but his wife has been living a poor life with him for so long.

In the end, the teacher couldn't help it and bought a simple necklace and a lipstick.

She would be happy, he thought, right?

This made Zhu Jiayan a little incomprehensible, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it should just be the teacher who didn't let the two of them notice the abnormality, so he bought a few things casually.

Walking to the hotel, the banquet was already served.

The teacher first poured a glass of wine for everyone, and the lady who did not drink poured juice, and then raised her glass and said what she had prepared for a long time: "I have been disturbed a lot these days, thank you for your help and concern, I don't know if we will see each other again, but I will always remember you!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Qi Manman whispered in Zhu Jiayan's ear: "Why does it sound like I'll never see you again?"

Zhu Jiayan pulled out a smile at her, but did not answer.

When the teacher said, 'I wish you all the best in this life,' everyone toasted.

The wine in the hotel is naturally not as good as the bath water in the hotel, but Zhu Jiayan is also bored.

This meal was eaten for a long time.

By the end, Zhu Jiayan was already drunk, his mind was confused, and the only remaining sanity was used to keep his mouth shut, and when he reacted, he was already lying on the bed in the hotel.

He didn't know how long it was, but he suddenly woke up, looked around, and then didn't put on his shoes, and ran out as soon as he opened the door.

Stepping barefoot on the cold ground, Ding Ding Dong went downstairs.

When he ran to the second floor, he went and knocked on the door of the teacher's room, but no one answered.

His heart sank.

Then he hurriedly restrained the expression on his face, tried his best to pretend to be normal, walked to the first floor, and saw that the goddess Liu was on duty, and he asked, "Why did I come back, what about the teacher?"

Goddess Liu raised her head and said, "He's already gone, and the station master sent him away." ”

Zhu Jiayan was stunned.
