Chapter 304: Friends
"They're all worthless people."
Ye Kong's tone was as calm as water, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but when Su Mengyao heard this, she couldn't help but tremble, and after half a sound, she said in a weak tone: "That..... What did the boy think? ”
"He was happy." Ye Kong glanced at her and continued to elaborate: "He got to know other rats, all of whom were people with the same experience, and soon, they were mixed together and working hard in the sewers. ”
"The sewers are dirty, but there are places to pick up gold, and if you work hard enough, you will always reap a reward, and even if you are familiar with the place, you can mix very well........"
Gradually, the boy discovered his talent, that is, memory, and it was clear that he was not interested in the surface world, and often got lost and lost. But in the sewers, the boy seems to have a different personality, he can remember any terrain, every drain, every underground pipe, he remembers it clearly. ”
"Taking advantage of this, the boy slowly became famous, however, the other rats also began to be hostile to him, and it was only at this time that the boy discovered a truth - in the sewers, everyone wears a mask of rats, and violence and hatred are more unscrupulous, if you are too good, you will either be jealous of the people above or jealous of the people below."
Ye Kong turned his head to look at her, and said meaningfully: "That excellent big rat took the initiative to share food with others, but in the eyes of others, it was a kind of charity, even if they accepted her 'gift' for the sake of the big mouse's face, it was impossible for them to treat her as a friend." ”
"Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Su Mengyao lowered her head and laughed at herself: "So, I worked in the wrong direction from the beginning? I...... Am I really a joke? ”
"No, you're not wrong." Ye Kong shook his head lightly: "It's just that you chose the wrong object." ”
“.......”
Su Mengyao was silent for a while, and suddenly, she raised her head and asked, "Later, how happened to that boy?" ”
"Later?" The corners of Ye Kong's mouth hooked, leaning against the wall behind him, ignoring the mud above, looking at the sky above, and replied softly: "In the days that followed, the people of the surface world discovered the sewers, destroyed the entire pipe, and rebuilt a much larger and more complex labyrinth - a new labyrinth, which completely replaced the original sewer. ”
For a moment, the boy was in a state of confusion, and he knew basically nothing about the new labyrinth, and all his experience was in vain. On the contrary, the builders of the surface world, because of their involvement in the construction of the labyrinth, more or less, everyone knows a little bit of information - the world is very unfair, but the boy can only accept it. ”
After hearing this, Su Mengyao looked at him in a daze, Ye Kong looked at the starry sky above, and invariably, both of them remained silent, like a tacit understanding, more like a wordless communication.
After half a ring, Su Mengyao couldn't help but ask, "...... you Do you have friends in the game? That kind of friend in the truest sense of the word. ”
"Friends?"
Ye Kong no longer looked at the sky, turned his head to look at Su Mengyao, quietly looked at her delicate face, his thoughts seemed to return to his previous life, one by one avatars flashed in front of him, there were many of them, but the really clear face was only a single digit.
"Some ......."
Ye Kong nodded lightly, and in Su Mengyao's eyes full of loss, he added:
"But ......."
"I have very few friends."
Ye Kong stretched out his palm towards her, and his tone was slightly teasing: "Barely count you as one." ”
Syllable!
Su Mengyao slapped off his palm, and said angrily: "Cut, who is rare........."
Having said that, the corners of Su Mengyao's eyes were shining, but she betrayed her true heart.
"I ..... I'll barely count you as one. ”
Su Mengyao said this, and took the initiative to stretch out her palm to him, and at the same time, her eyes were full of expectation, and there was also a hint of fear, like a child who had made a mistake, for fear that Ye Kong would be like her, and directly slapped her palm away.
"Okay, okay."
Ye Kong couldn't cry or laugh, but he held the palm of the other party, the palm surface was very soft and very delicate, like a piece of fine silk, which made people love it, unconsciously, Ye Kong seemed to pinch it a few times.
"Woo......" Su Mengyao glared at him, but did not withdraw his palm, and Ye Kong didn't know why, he didn't know why the other party was glaring at him, and he didn't want to weaken his momentum, so he also glared back.
At this moment, the two sat shoulder to shoulder, 'staring' at each other, and to the pedestrians passing nearby, they looked more like a pair of dog men and women who were secretly flirting.
Among the passers-by, they were a little older and single, and they frowned even more-
"Today's young people really have enough tricks, and they like to sneak around in places where people come and go........"
"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that young people like that mood, and it's really the world's trend. ”
Whispers rang out, but they couldn't care about the 'young couple', so they could only turn around and leave, as if they didn't see them.
The two didn't know how others were reacting, and they were still glaring at each other.
Goodo.......
Suddenly, Su Mengyao's stomach screamed, which made the two of them stunned, and their thoughts stagnated.
Swish!
Su Mengyao's face turned red all of a sudden, like a heated oven, and her head began to steam, and at this moment, her eyes were full of crystal ........
Ye Kong shook his head, and couldn't help but give the other party a step-
"I'm a little hungry, why don't we eat?"
"Good good !!"
Su Mengyao nodded hurriedly, like a rattle.
Ye Kong looked at the other party's appearance and said with a wry smile: "Okay, it's all in the garbage street anyway, why don't we go and eat........"
"Stinky tofu, put spicy tofu."
The two said in unison.
..............
After a street tour, the two came to the river bank at the end, and the slightly noisy river breeze came to their faces, blowing away the heat on the two of them and calming them down a little.
"Thank you so much for today." Su Mengyao sincerely thanked.
"It's just a small thing." Ye Kong waved his hand and asked rhetorically, "In the future, what are you going to do?" ”
"From now on?"
Su Mengyao was stunned: "I haven't thought about it yet, except for the game "Demon Realm", I don't have anything else to do for the time being, I can do it......."
"Okay, you think about it first."
Ye Kong glanced at the bracelet and said, "It's not too early, we have to go back,"
"Hmm."
Su Mengyao nodded, followed behind him, and returned all the way back to the Xingheng Community.
On the stairs, Ye Kong said goodbye to the other party and was about to turn back, when suddenly, his footsteps stopped.
"That's right....."
"Huh?"
"If you don't come back, I'll have one less friend in the game."
Su Mengyao watched him leave in a daze, and after half a ring, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, gradually forming an arc.
"Okay."
