"Whew...... Whew......"

Early in the morning, in a national fitness venue in Xicheng District, a young man wearing a black windbreaker rested on the pommel next to him out of breath.

Due to the recent decrease in time, what was originally a daily routine of morning exercise has become once every two days.

However, while the number of times has decreased, the amount of exercise has increased a lot. In order not to let the skills he practiced in the past be in vain, Zhao Nuo is also working hard now.

"Next, it's time to go shopping."

Quickly wipe off the sweat beads on your forehead, if you don't wipe the sweat quickly in this weather, you may freeze into ice ballast.

Raising his head to look up at the dim morning sun overhead that was obscured by clouds, he flagged down a taxi passing by and headed for Emperor Mall, still thinking about why he had come today:

Although I don't have much experience in taking care of people and other things, the daily necessities at home are indeed "running out" recently, and the three lazy housemaidens have no intention of coming out to shop. So I had to go out myself.

When the taxi arrived in front of the Imperial Square, it was just after eight o'clock.

Realizing that he seemed to have come early, Zhao Nuo thought about it and raised the corners of his mouth to show a happy smile.

――Since it's early, why don't you go to the game hall on the fifth floor for a while?

Zhao Nuo, who was a regular visitor to this game hall when he was in school, knows that it is open from 7 a.m. to midnight. At this point in time, the arcade must be open.

When I walked into the lobby on the first floor and took the escalator up to the second floor, I was about to continue upstairs. He suddenly heard a confused male voice beside him:

Zhao ...... Promise? Is that you? ”

――――――――――――――――

"I came early in the morning to buy clothes, I really served you."

Sitting on a bench on the second floor of the Imperial Shopping Center, I looked at the unopened shop in front of me. and a woman who is dressed up in a black bag and is eager to try. Sun Fu sighed helplessly.

Her girlfriend's name is Luo Lingting, a girl who has been dating since high school, and it has been eight years now, but she is still in the state of being just a girlfriend.

"I'm going to buy two plush coats today......" said the woman with the "big wave" next to her.

"Can't you just be quiet?" Sun Fu said angrily.

The so-called "seven-year itch", he is now beginning to feel:

Although my girlfriend is still pretty now, her personality is okay. But she is extremely strict with her financial control every month, and before she gets married, her monthly salary is less than 500, and all the other money is taken away by her.

As a big man working in a foreign company, he can only live a sad life with a fixed pocket money every month, and his current mood can be imagined.

What's even more terrifying is that the speed at which his girlfriend spends money is also very amazing, and she completely belongs to the faction of the Moonlight Clan. In this way, the family can't save money at all, and she uses it to buy some messy bags, shoes and clothes every month.

- What the hell. If my former high school classmates had seen this kind of thing, they would have laughed at me......

- But it doesn't matter, there are a few people in high school who should be more miserable than I am now, such as the taciturn kid who plays games all day......

When Sun Fu was "self-comforting", he saw a guy wearing a cool black trench coat, which can be described as a "man", coming up from the side of the escalator. I plan to continue to the third floor.

Wait a minute, that guy......

Although after a few years, the memory has begun to blur a little, but Sun Fu can still recognize the guy's signature messy hairstyle and casual appearance:

This person is what he just thought, the kid who plays games all day!

"What's wrong?" Luo Lingting, who was beside her, asked, she hadn't noticed that her old classmate was not far away.

But Sun Fu ignored his girlfriend, but asked tentatively: "Zhao ...... Promise? Is that you? ”

"Zhao Nuo? The one who plays the PSP console in class? Luo Lingting's big eyes widened, and she looked at the man in black who stopped next to her, and then shouted happily:

"Arnold! We're here! ”

“……”

Hearing their words, the man in black over there finally came over, and unlike the taciturn game house in the past, this time he said very politely:

"Hello, may I ask who you are ......?"

"I'm Sun Fu, and this is my girlfriend Luo Lingting. Have you forgotten? Sun Fu said immediately.

"Oh, it's you......" Zhao Nuo scratched his hair vaguely.

Although he seemed to recognize himself, Sun Fu was very suspicious that the guy remembered his high school classmates. But...... Seeing that this guy was similar to the past, and then recalling his depressed situation, he couldn't help but say very hurtful words:

"Do you have a job now? Game nerd. ”

When people are depressed, they often hurt others to relieve depression. And Sun Fu, who was brought in early in the morning to buy things, was obviously in an extremely bad mood at this time.

"Hey, how do you talk!" Luo Lingting beside him pinched him.

But before the other party could speak, Sun Fu asked again: "Are you still a jobless vagrant like in the past?" ”

In the first year after graduating from college, high school classmates also held a class reunion, and Sun Fu and his girlfriend naturally went to participate. At that time, Zhao Nuo, the kid, did not attend, and it was said that he was hiding somewhere to play games and stay at home, and he did not have a job.

Although the current situation is not very clear, looking at this guy's decadent appearance, Sun Fu still has deep doubts about whether he has a job.

It's a pity that his idea of belittling Zhao Nuo to relieve depression soon came to naught.

"Here's my business card."

In front of him, the game house with slightly long hair and a decadent appearance actually took out a beautifully framed and looked like a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

After taking the business card, Sun Fu and Luo Lingting looked at the text on it at the same time:

Hellfire Entertainment, Assistant Manager:

Zhao Nuo.

Phone: 159-XXXX-XXXX

"I'll go, assistant manager? What are you kidding......"

Sun Fu muttered in a low voice, and his already bad mood became even worse.

――I thought that my current job was already a good mix among my high school classmates. I didn't expect the game house in front of me to be mixed with the management.

If this kind of thing had been put in the past, he wouldn't have believed it, but now ......

The famous name of "Hellfire Entertainment", he also heard the company's executives mention, it is said that it is a new company composed of young people who like to play games, and it has become popular after only one game has been released, and it is currently the most famous game company in the city.

It sounds like a guy like Zhao Nuo is really suitable for working in a company like Hellfire.

"Xiaonuo is so powerful, it's not the dead house that only played games in the past." Luo Lingting looked very happy.

"I'm mostly playing games now, too." The black-clothed game house in front of him said with a smile.

For some reason, seeing his smile, Sun Fu always felt that his mood was even worse.

At this time, thinking of another thing, he suddenly showed a slightly sinister smile on his face, put a hand on his girlfriend's waist, and asked:

"Do you have a girlfriend now?"

――It's impossible for a deep game house to have a girlfriend.,Even if this guy becomes a company executive.,It's just a game nerd.。

Even if you lose the competition at work, in terms of your girlfriend, you can still crush the dead house in front of you!

As expected, Zhao Nuo quickly shook his head:

"Nope."

"Well, I used to say you couldn't find ...... like this."

Sun Fu was only halfway through his smug words when he suddenly stopped because he saw the girl coming from the right side.

It was a girl in black professional clothes, although her figure was not bad, but she still had a confused look on her face with some baby fat, but she revealed a childish feeling. She was walking towards her briskly at this time, and the long black hair on the back of her head kept shaking, adding a different kind of "pure" beauty.

It's like a doll that doesn't fit in with this world, and you can't help but feel an urge to protect.

This girl has the "innocence" that many beauties have lost now.

But just like this, it won't surprise Sun Fu so much, the real problem is-

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the strange expressions of the classmates in front of him, Zhao Nuo seemed to realize something. It's a pity that before he had time to turn back, he had already received a heavy blow on his shoulder, and his body suddenly crooked.

"Zhao Nuo, you are here!" The girl who sneaked up behind her had an innocent smile on her face that resembled a smirk.

"Can you light it up, bastard." Zhao Nuo rubbed his shoulders and complained.

"What a beautiful girl...... Sun Fu heard his girlfriend muttering to himself, and couldn't help but get angry, and without even saying hello, he pulled Luo Lingting to turn around and leave.

"What's wrong with you?" The girlfriend asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom." Sun Fu muttered.

――Looking at the intimacy of those two people, if they say that they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, no one will believe it.

In this way, whether it is from work or from love, I have completely lost to that damn game nerd!

However, while perceiving his fiasco, his chest burned with a "fighting spirit" that had not appeared for a long time:

"Wait, one day I will surpass you......" Sun Fu said in a low voice.

The guy who used to work perfunctory days has completely disappeared from this moment on. Instead, there is a super-hard "promotion maniac".

It's just to surpass that game nerd.

――――――――――――

"Ah, are those two people friends with Zhao Nuo?" While Xia Xiaoling was asking questions, she kept rubbing her hands like a lewd uncle.

"It's a classmate, I can't remember what it's called." Zhao Nuo said.

"How did they go? Did I make them angry? Xia Xiaoling continued to ask.

Seeing the figures of the two old classmates leaving quickly, Zhao Nuo shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you, maybe I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words: "Miss, why are you coming to the shopping mall in the morning?" ”

"Of course I'm here to buy something!" Xia Xiaoling's answer was very quick.

"What to buy?"

"Buy, dress, dress. Come with me! Xia Xiaoling seemed to have picked up props in the game, and pulled Zhao Nuo away.

"Wait a minute,, I'm going to play games......"

Even though the person has disappeared, the sound of a certain game nerd still echoes in the empty shopping hall. R1152
