Chapter 164: Let's Go to Reality, Xiao Ke
What is the relationship between himself and Chu Jiajia?
To be honest, Rococo had never seriously thought about it before.
No, it's not so much that I haven't thought about it seriously, but that I've been resisting it...... Rococo knows very well that because of the asymmetry of information cognition, she and Chu Jiajia's perception of each other may never exist on the same level.
For Rococo, who understands the essential truth of the game "Redemption" and was originally a special data life, Chu Jiajia is the first person to communicate and interact with her in addition to Mira and Alya, and it is also the first real friend she made in her "life" experience in addition to the two "gods" of Mira and Arya. However, for Chu Jiajia, who is as ignorant of the nature of "Redemption" as other players, she may only be regarded as a relatively close virtual friend made in online games - Rococo thinks so.
Although Rococo is not unaware of it, many times, when Chu Jiajia gets along with her, the interaction between the two often appears to be ambiguous. The details of the feeling, but the problem is that as a digital life who has only learned about human affairs through the information shared and circulated by others on the Internet but has never experienced it personally, Rococo can't tell whether this belongs to or exceeds the normal dating category between ordinary girls on the Internet - you know, she is still a digital life, and she will see a lot of people who are usually boring and boring in reality, but they are as active on the Internet as if they have changed their personalities, maybe to this extent" "Virtual self-playing" is the norm for girls like Chu Jiajia at the moment?
So, although in the eyes of outsiders such as Xingguo Hanbing Shooter, Rococo and Chu Jiajia are always so good that they are "like glue", but in fact, Rococo herself has always hidden her uneasiness about the friendship between her and Chu Jiajia - she is very sure that she cherishes this friendship with Chu Jiajia very much, but she is not sure if Chu Jiajia also attaches as much importance as her, there is suspicion of Chu Jiajia, but more of it is not confident in herself as a "first-time person".
Of course, Rococo also knew that no matter whether she was right or wrong, it would have a negative impact on maintaining the friendship between her and Chu Jiajia, so similar thoughts were consciously sealed in her heart from the very beginning. However, that day, when talking about the issue of meeting in reality, Chu Jiajia's resolute refusal attitude that although he did not say it explicitly, he only said it explicitly, suddenly opened the "Pandora's box" in Rococo's heart.
It's just that she refuses to meet in reality, which in itself definitely doesn't make Rococo have such negative emotions towards Chu Jiajia, what really makes her feel embarrassed is that after that, she always can't control the suspicion in her heart when facing Chu Jiajia - has she been making herself amorous? Obviously for Jiajia, it's just an ordinary online social network, but she has invested too much emotion on her side, will it bother the other party?
- Will they be able to maintain the friendship she cherishes as they do now?
Because of such tangled emotions, Rococo was not able to speak to Chu Jiajia all day, which also made her feel bad all day after that.
In the end, it took nearly two days for Rococo to finally sort out his mood, no matter how Jiajia thinks of their relationship, at least until now, Rococo himself still attaches great importance to Chu Jiajia's friend, and this friendship with Chu Jiajia has indeed made Rococo, who became a human for the first time, gain a lot of beautiful emotions, making her gradually become a "real human girl who was originally a digital life" from the original "digital life with a humanoid body".
For Chu Jiajia, who doesn't know the world like her, and doesn't know her past, Rococo knows that she really doesn't have any qualifications and power to ask for more, such as becoming friends in reality, not to mention Chu Jiajia's resistance, even if she wants to, Rococo can't do it, in this case, why affect their friendship because of this, for Rococo, this is always the "first time" worth cherishing.
So, Rococo figured it out, and she decided to remedy the damage that might have been done to her friendship with Chu Jiajia because of her own crankiness, and to get along with Chu Jiajia again as before...... As a result, she didn't have a chance.
One day, two days, today is the third day, Chu Jiajia did not explain in advance, and never appeared in the game, counting the day when Chu Jiajia took leave before, the swordsman girl has not logged in to the game for four days.
Why?
Why not come back?
Luo Coco knew that she was quite stupid to be entangled in this problem, for her it was a real different world, but for Chu Jiajia, it was just a game. Not to mention the fact that the parents are busy with their studies and tutors are so realistic that they are helpless, that is, they are simply in a bad mood for the past two days, or they feel that the game is boring and want to abandon the pit, this is Chu Jiajia's own freedom, and she has no obligation to explain it to anyone else.
However, but, it's still the same sentence - for Chu Jiajia this is a game, but for Rococo, this is her only reality! She, only here, in the game for Chu Jiajia, can she enjoy the warmth and happiness brought to her by this initial friendship. Why not tangle it? Of course, there is a struggle! She didn't want Chu Jiajia to leave like this, she still had an apology to tell Chu Jiajia! Even if she really wants to leave, then at least give her a chance to say goodbye!
After a whole day of events, Rococo stood in front of her own flower shop in Hero Town in such a dejected way, and even a few times she almost didn't realize when a player came to talk, if it weren't for Arya dutifully reminding her on the side, she would almost really be going to go out of her way on those few occasions.
Rococo's reason kept telling herself that now was not the time for her to be entangled, four days had passed since the soul separation, and compared to the total time of half a month, the remaining days were no longer enough for her to continue to squander, and she had to concentrate all her energy and energy in front of her as soon as possible to solve her personal side story mission...... But...... If you can't do it, you can't do it......
Why, all of a sudden, Jiajia is no longer online? Feeling bored and don't want to play anymore? What's going on in reality?
No, it can't be because of what happened that day, right? At that time, she patronized herself and made trouble, and she didn't talk to Jiajia all day, Jiajia must have been angry, maybe even Jiajia might have been frightened or misunderstood because of her over-the-top performance...... Is that so? No way? Really?
Standing on the street of the flower shop, Rococo frowned slightly, trying to recall every detail he could remember that day. Before the awkwardness, they chatted together as usual, but after the awkwardness, because of embarrassment, not only did they not speak, but they didn't even meet their eyes a few times, not only did she not speak much throughout the day, but Jiajia seemed to be the same that day...... Hmm, at that time before the final offline, Jiajia seemed to smile at her? Hey? Did you laugh a little? Is her memory wrong or something, obviously Jiajia's expression in her impression should look a little sad...... Jiajia was really angry with her at that time, right?
“…… Xiao Ke!! ”
Arya's voice made Rococo suddenly wake up from her musings, and the girl subconsciously thought that another player was coming to talk to her, but this time she didn't see anyone in front of her, except for the others who couldn't see the pocket Arya who only she could see.
Rarely, Arya frowned and looked serious, at this moment, despite her small figure, Arya finally looked not like she usually looked cute and natural, but like a real little goddess with the majesty of a god.
"You can't go on like this, Xiao Ke!"
Rarely reprimanded harshly by Arya, Rococo lowered his head and spoke softly.
"I know, I'm sorry Arya...... I'll be attentive. ”
"That's not the case!"
Arya got closer with some hatred, and seeing that Rococo seemed to be deliberately trying to avoid her, Arya flew in front of Rococo's eyes.
"You're lying, Xiao Ke, it's impossible for you to concentrate like this!"
“…… Yes, I'm sorry...... Anyway, I'll do my best ......."
Looking at Rococo, who was different from usual, but only knew how to respond weakly, Arya stared at Rococo's eyes with a frown for a few seconds, and sighed softly.
“…… Okay, Xiao Ke, don't force it anymore...... I'm going to ask Sister Mira now if I can let you go outside once tonight during playtime. ”
Rococo's head had become tangled in a mushy because of Chu Jiajia's matter, and he was not able to understand Arya's words for the first time.
"No, no need Arya, I'm fine, I'm ...... Belch...... What do you mean? ”
Arya's expression relaxed, and she smiled reassuringly at Rococo.
"Aren't you so entangled because Chu Jiajia hasn't logged in to the game for the past two days? Since you're so worried, why don't you go out on your own and go to the real earth to see what's going on with her? ”
