Zhou Ruolan walked across the road and met Bai Lidu, the two walked to the food street on the side of the community, and after looking for a moment on the food street, Zhou Ruolan took the lead and walked into a Western restaurant.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat down in a window position on the second floor.

After the waiter poured lemonade into the water cup in front of the two of them, he handed each person a booklet, Zhou Ruolan quickly ordered an Australian steak set for herself, and quickly gave her opinions on the soups, staple foods, drinks and other details that need to be reconfirmed in the package, while Bai Lidu, who was sitting opposite, didn't know what to order at all, and after turning a few pages at random with the booklet in his hand, he ordered a seafood fried rice for himself.

As soon as the waiter was about to leave, Zhou Ruolan stopped him again, pointed to the menu book and said, "Excuse me, add a vegetable salad, um~ add another bottle of this brand of dry red." ”

After the waiter remembered to leave, Bai Lidu opened his mouth and asked, "Ruolan, what's the matter, are you still drinking?" ”

"Hmm~ It's rare to invite a great poet to dinner, of course you have to have wine, you must know that this poet fairy, poet saint and poet demon are all good wine people, especially the poet fairy Li Bai, in fact, also has the title of wine fairy, so you, a real great poet, naturally have to drink some wine today." Zhou Ruolan said eloquently.

"Hehe, okay, I'll drink this wine, but I'll have to invite this meal." Bai Lidu said.

"You don't have to fight for this meal, I said it a long time ago last time, I will invite you to dinner." Zhou Ruolan responded, and her tone was also very affirmative.

"Ha~ It's really unreasonable to eat with the lady and let the lady pay for it." Bai Lidu tactfully stated his position.

"If you really don't want to go, then next time you come to invite, but the place, I'll pick it, haha~~" Zhou Ruolan said with a smile.

"Good! Then next time. Bai Lidu himself is not a mother-in-law, since Zhou Ruolan said this, then he has more opportunities to get along with Zhou Ruolan, and his heart is naturally very happy, so he changed the topic and said: "Speaking of drinking, beer and red wine should not be difficult for me, but I can't do it with white wine and foreign wine." ”

"Oh? Do you have times when you can't? It feels like there's nothing that can hold you back. Zhou Ruolan, who was sitting opposite, responded to Bai Lidu's words.

"Ha~ You should feel completely from the game, to be honest, even if I am good in the game, it is only in the game, in reality, I don't think I have much of a line, you have seen it when I was the worst, unemployed, no money to pay rent, evicted by the landlord, if it weren't for this game, I guess I'm still applying for interviews everywhere, and it is impossible to sit in front of you and have lunch with you." Bai Lidu sighed.

"Oh~~ You look at yourself really objectively!" Zhou Ruolan responded, and then continued: "But in my opinion, if you can do so well in the game, it will definitely not be too bad in reality, gold will not be buried forever, and Maxima does not have to rely on Bole, people sometimes just lack some opportunities, adversity and sinking are often a test for a person, some people will be overwhelmed by difficulties and will never recover, while some people will continue to overcome difficulties and become stronger and stronger in the predicament, I believe you should belong to the latter." ”

Zhou Ruolan's words touched Bai Lidu a lot, for a long time, no one has had such a positive evaluation of himself, and Bai Lidu's self-confidence, which has been buried and suppressed in his heart, began to recover again. The waiter also brought the red wine at this moment, and skillfully opened the red wine on the side, then poured some more for each of them, and then turned to leave.

"Ruolan, what you said is so good, I am very moved, thank you for your recognition and encouragement~"

Bai Lidu said, then picked up the wine glass in front of him, Zhou Ruolan also raised the wine glass generously, and after the two wine glasses touched lightly, Bai Lidu dried the red wine in the glass in one sip.

Zhou Ruolan took a sip and continued: "But ~~ It's really amazing, the tragic encounters you just mentioned are actually what happened a week ago, but after only a short week, you have undergone such a big change, and even I have changed a lot, in my opinion, the impact of this game on reality is also quite large, at least you don't seem to have to look for a job everywhere now, right?" Zhou Ruolan asked.

"Well, I really don't have to look for a job, Brother Zhang and I, that is, Boss Zhang of the grocery store, have made clear the relationship of cooperation long before the game is launched, and this week, it can be regarded as a good start in the game, and finally laid some foundations, if it can continue to develop steadily in the future, I believe it should be a good income, anyway, it is much stronger than the previous part-time income." Bai Lidu said as he poured red wine into his empty wine glass.

"Yes, it means that I was right, congratulations!" Zhou Ruolan said, and also raised the wine glass in front of her.

Bai Lidu also raised his wine glass, originally wanted to learn from Zhou Ruolan's previous appearance, and stopped after taking a sip, but saw that Zhou Ruolan also changed the way she drank it, and even drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, so Bai Lidu couldn't be subtle anymore, and he drank it in one gulp.

"Ruolan, I can't see through you, I feel that you are so mysterious." Bai Lidu said boldly while adding wine to Zhou Ruolan.

"Huh, huh? Where is the mystery? Zhou Ruolan asked with a smile.

"I can't say for sure, but my intuition tells me that you shouldn't have too much intersection with me, or more seriously, there will be no intersection at all, the reason why you live in this Shipai Village may have nothing to do with your income situation at all, you can actually rent to other places with better conditions, maybe it's just that you randomly generated a certain idea to support you to make this decision, but this decision allowed me to meet you, will this be the so-called fate?" Bai Lidu said seriously to Zhou Ruolan in front of him.

"Hehe, your statement is quite interesting, do you believe in fate?" Zhou Ruolan asked Bai Lidu.

Bai Lidu suddenly didn't know how to answer, just in time, the waiter in the restaurant had already started to serve the two of them, which could be regarded as buying Bai Lidu some time to think about the problem.

"Let's talk while eating, when it comes to fate, I am actually half-convinced, because this thing is too illusory and too elusive, giving people a sense of destiny, but it may not really be able to decide anything, in my opinion, fate can make two strangers who are thousands of miles apart inadvertently meet, but it may not allow these two people to finally come together, it is likely to be just a passing glance, if the two hearts do not collide, it may really be a passing by." Bai Lidu said what he thought in his heart.

Zhou Ruolan listened to Bai Lidu's words, but didn't say anything immediately, lowered her head and patiently cut the steak, and Bai Lidu also began to concentrate on eating fried rice.

"Great poet, don't you want to know what I do?" After a while, Zhou Ruolan suddenly asked.

"Uh~ Of course I want to know, but I'm actually a little worried, I'm afraid that if I ask you, you won't want to tell me." Bai Lidu replied truthfully.

"What's there to worry about, you're so afraid of rejection, but you can't get a girlfriend~ Haha" Zhou Ruolan smiled.

"Hmmm! You're right, I do have this problem, so can you tell me now, what do you do? Bai Lidu asked with interest.

"After graduating from university last year, I joined the HR department of a technology company, responsible for day-to-day recruitment, training and employee relations." Zhou Ruolan replied.

"Oh, yes, so you graduated one year later than me, the human resources department is usually quite stable, and the professionalism is relatively strong, and there will definitely be a good development if you work hard, don't be like me, less than two years after graduation, I have changed seven or eight jobs." Bai Lidu sighed again.

"Ha, thank you for your encouragement, however, I have also submitted my resignation to the company, and I still have to go back to the company tomorrow to handle the work handover, if it is fast, it will be handled in about a week."

"What! Resigned?! Why? Zhou Ruolan's reply really surprised Bai Lidu, in today's severe situation where the unemployment rate is so high, there are still people who will give up such a stable job, which really makes Bai Lidu a little puzzled.

"I really can't go into detail about the specific reasons, so I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future." Zhou Ruolan said, and continued to eat with her head down, looking very relaxed on the outside, and she didn't see a trace of worry at all.

"Ruolan, what do you plan to do in the future?" Bai Lidu asked with concern.

"Well~~ I've thought about it, I'm going to prepare for the MAP of Huaqiao University in the future, that is, the master's degree in psychology, at present, there is still plenty of time, so I will also invest more time in the game and strive to become your best partner~" Zhou Ruolan replied.

"Really! It's just amazing! Bai Lidu exclaimed excitedly.
