Friday, May 8.

As a melodious bell rang, the closed school gate slowly opened, and parents who had long been around the gate flocked in and hurried into the school to look for their children.

Natsuki stood in the corridor on the fourth floor, dragging his cheeks, looking at the flow of people below with an expressionless face, not in a hurry at all.

After looking at it for a moment, he glanced up at the sky.

The sun is shining, and the white clouds are blooming -

But one cloud suddenly turned into a block, and in less than a second it changed back again, and then continued to drift away with the other clouds.

Natsuki lowered her head.

LATELY, BUGS HAVE BEEN APPEARING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY.

After a while, when he found that there was nothing to see, he turned around and went back to the classroom, where there were some students, some of them were discussing where to go all night tonight and some of the games they were talking about, and some were yelling at the students in the same group to hurry up and sweep the floor, finish it early and go home early.

At this time, a sweet and elegant fragrance wafted in the air, and Xia Shu turned his head to look, only to find that it was Zhou Paper Kite who came.

"Going home?"

Natsuki glanced at the bulging schoolbag behind her back.

"Hmm!"

The other party nodded heavily, with a bright smile on her face, she raised her slender and white arms, wiped the sweat on her forehead, her eyes were bright and divine: "My dad is still waiting for me, I'll go first, at the same table!" ”

"Okay."

"See you at the beginning of school!"

After saying that, she smiled and passed past Natsuki with her schoolbag on her back, leaving a faint fragrance.

When Natsuki turned around again, Zhou Paper Kite's figure had disappeared from the back door.

"Natsuki, the corridor is finished, you go mop the corridor!"

The team leader walked over with three mops in his hands, handed one to Xia Shu, and then handed it to another classmate and said, "Zhou Kui, you come to drag the podium, and I will drag the back of the classroom." ”

"Hmm."

Xia Shu took the dirty mop and went to the toilet with the team leader and Zhou Kui to wash the mop.

After finishing the slush, he slipped back to the classroom.

Several people divided labor, and soon the place in charge was shiny.

After mopping the floor, wash the mop again, put it in place, and the cleaning is over.

"Finally, when I was done, I went back first, and the last one to go back remembered to turn off the lights and windows, I heard that it was raining at night...... By the way, remember to close the door! ”

As the team leader spoke, he carried his schoolbag and ran away with small steps.

Natsuki sat in his seat, looking down at the book.

"Still learning? Then I'll go first, remember to turn off the lights, close the windows and lock the door! ”

Zhou Kui also packed his things, and when he passed by Xia Shu's seat, his footsteps paused, his eyes flickered, and he found that he was reading the physics test paper, so he quickly shook his head and walked away.

It's all on vacation and still studying!

Sure enough—

He doesn't understand the world of Xueba.

Gradually, everyone was gone, and Natsuki was the only one left in the classroom, and he put away the test papers and became bored again.

In fact, he didn't see anything just now, but he didn't want others to mistakenly think that he was in a daze and then ran to ask questions, so he used the test paper to cover it up.

Suddenly, Natsuki felt something and looked up at the blackboard in the classroom.

I saw that the bottom half of the blackboard began to sink, while the top half remained in place, with a black and white pattern in the middle - as if the texture had failed to load.

Soon, however, the blackboard was back to its original state.

At the same time, a piece of paper fell lightly from the table.

Natsuki looked down and wrote:

I've come to your house, when will you come back?

- Zhi Yao

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar name, Natsuki sighed lightly.

He held the corner of the note, then held his breath.

The note began to spontaneously combust, and the ashes were all decomposed.

At the same time, several clangs sounded......

Doors and windows close automatically.

And Natsuki's figure also disappeared in place.

"Whew-"

In a breath, Natsuki appeared in the living room of his house.

In the living room sat a beautiful woman with delicate facial features.

It's a bit of a mismatch to call it human.

Because her appearance is more beautiful than that of humans, she can be said to be a fairy in human fantasy.

The complexion is very white, but there is no exaggeration of whiteness.

But her skin is very delicate!

There are no pores in sight, no fluff, and a sparkling glow reflected in the living room light.

And—

She is as young as she was ten years ago, and time has not left a trace on her!

"Coming back?"

Zhiyao was eating apples, and when she saw Xia Shu suddenly appear, she didn't feel strange, but naturally waved her hand, and then continued to eat apples.

"Why are you here?"

Natsuki looked at Zhi Yao.

"The house is quite clean, not bad."

After eating the apple, Zhiyao lay lazily on the sofa, looking at Xia Shu with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, I'm getting more and more handsome, did you receive a love letter at school?" Why don't you let my sister see it? Help you with the gatekeeping? ”

Natsuki's eyes didn't wave.

The same thing she said every time they met, he was tired of hearing it.

"Okay, okay, the main thing is that I want to tell you in advance."

Zhi Yao shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a straight face: "Before listening, you need to be mentally prepared, but don't be scared!" ”

Natsuki raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "Say it." ”

"Good!"

Zhiyao took a deep breath and sat upright: "My salary has been spent, and I have no money to eat, so I came to you for a meal!" ”

“？？？”

"That's right, that's it!"

Zhi Yao nodded again and again, very sure.

Natsuki was still staring at her, unmoved.

Zhiyao rolled her eyes and said, "It's not fun at all...... Okay, okay, I'm kidding you. But I'm here, I really have something to say, let's talk while eating. ”

Zhiyao got up and came to the restaurant.

Natsuki followed behind her.

Coming to the living room, the dining table was already full of meals.

Natsuki hadn't paid attention to it before, but as soon as he approached the restaurant, the rich aroma of food came to his nose.

As if she was in her own home, Zhiyao sat down and poured wine by herself, and asked Natsuki not to be polite.

"I came to try the '82 Lafite, and I heard that this one was better, so I went back to the past and stored a wine cellar."

Xia Shu's hand shook, and the red wine in the cup rippled.

Back in time?

Still have a cellar?

If the old bureau seat is still there, I'm afraid I will reprimand you again.

"What are you here to tell me today?" Natsuki asked proactively.

"It's nothing, the main thing is that the company has changed recently, and it is related to [Earth OL], so I will inform you in advance."

"Hmm." Natsuki bowed lightly.

"Not curious?"

"Curious."

"......Shh Curiosity also shows a look of disinterest. Zhiyao took a sip of red wine, slurped, and said, "The taste is average, and the rumors are not credible." ”

“……”

"In general, it's just two points." Zhi Yao saw that Xia Shu's expression was a little ugly, so he stretched out his finger and said, "First, the company has developed a new type of antivirus software called [Zero], and is going to use it to completely eliminate your disobedient plug-ins. ”

Xia Shu frowned slightly, this news was indeed not friendly to him: "What about the second?" ”

"Second, it's about the development of Earth OL, players are tired of playing the peaceful development version, but the war mode is too old-fashioned, and the characters die too quickly, and the game experience is not good, so the company intends to develop a new way to play."

"What's the way to play?"

"It's not certain for the time being, but the four versions of Reiki Resurgence, Ghost Resurgence, StarCraft, and Doomsday Strike are the most popular, and maybe they will be tested first and then decided."

"Oh."

"Oh?"

"Got it."

"Is it really cold?"

"Didn't you just say that our cheats will be completely eliminated? So what the future holds has nothing to do with me. ”

"You're pretty open." Zhiyao took a bite of food, with a happy expression on her face, "But then again...... With a plug-in like yours, I'm afraid the latest antivirus software is no threat to you, but those ordinary plug-ins will be cleared at all, which greatly reduces the work of our bureau. ”

"Hmm."

"But before the version is modified, the Earth OL will do a data cleanup, and then the population will be reduced to half to empty memory for the new version, is that okay for you?"

“…… It's okay. ”

After speaking, Natsuki was silent for a long time, and the figures of his classmates and nearby neighbors appeared in his mind, he shook his head, and also took a sip of the red wine in front of him, and then put down the wine glass.

As Zhi Yao said, this wine does not taste very good.

After drinking, it will make people feel inexplicably congested.
