Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, December is coming to an end.

Hellfire Entertainment's fighting game project has also entered the final stage of "pre-release testing", and as long as the test is completed, the game can officially be put on the battle platform.

And on December 23, Xia Xiaoling and Zhao Nuo also announced a good news that made the employees happy:

-- Two days off tomorrow and the next.

Recently, there has been a hot atmosphere within the company, and these enthusiastic game nerds will even take the initiative to stay and work overtime in order to make zuò games.

After being busy for so long, it's time for them to take a break. And......

glanced at Xia Xiaoling beside her, and helpless feelings rose in Zhao Nuo's heart.

Xia Shiren's guy went out to have a good time, but he left his sister to himself for "safekeeping", in the face of this natural girl who was off the line, Zhao Nuo didn't know what to do for a while, and asked, "Do you want to go home with me?" ”

――As a "single-player maniac" who is always full of confidence on weekdays, Xia Xiaoling is one of the few "things" that can make him helpless.

Although this girl is a true genius, her weird Cheng Dù has long been on the charts, and she often makes some speechless moves.

Fortunately, she is relatively normal compared to usual.

"Zhao Nuo's new car is so handsome, did you buy it?" Standing in the underground parking lot of Wenluo Building, Xia Xiaoling curiously stroked the window of the pitch-black Lamborghini bat.

"Lin Shuang sent me, get in the car." Zhao Nuo said and opened the car door diagonally upward.

The two sat in the two-seater car and fastened their seat belts. Xia Xiaoling looked around curiously, as if it was the first time to ride this type of sports car.

After making sure that the door on her side was closed, Zhao Nuo activated his "pitch-black chariot" and drove out of the parking lot to blend into the traffic on the street.

As the winter solstice approaches, the days become short. Although it was not yet seven o'clock in the evening, the deep night was already hanging over the city.

Before Xia Xiaoling, I had already told my cousin that if I couldn't go home, Jian Tong would also take care of Zhou Yan and the others, so I didn't have to worry about it at all.

But now, what exactly the girl wants to do is also a difficult puzzle......

"Are you going to go to my house or not?" Since Xia Xiaoling didn't answer her question just now, Zhao Nuo asked again.

"Let's go play the game!" Xia Xiaoling answered the question.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Nuo changed lanes and overtook a green polo in front of him, and was about to turn but happened to encounter a red light, so he could only stop in front of the zebra crossing depressedly.

"Go to the secret base, your house is too noisy." Xia Xiaoling said weakly.

"Okay." Zhao Nuo nodded.

Because some people in his house fight real people every day, it is indeed noisy: Jian Tong and Christine fight against each other every day. Recently, even Zhou Yan seems to have been infected by the two of them, and occasionally joins the battle group, which is really painful.

If you want to play games, it is indeed Xia Xiaoling's "secret base", which is more suitable. The two-story building in the North City District can be said to be the most suitable "player's paradise" for the game.

Although the layout is simple, the number of games there is terrifying, and there are an astonishing number of various peripherals, which can be described as a "god-level venue" that game nerds dream of.

Patiently waiting for the red light to turn green, Zhao Nuo, who was originally going to turn, went straight instead and galloped straight in the direction of Beicheng District.

Looking at the scenery on the side of the road becoming more and more dilapidated and desolate, you don't need to look at the car GPS to know that you have entered the scope of Beicheng District.

Although it is still as dilapidated as ever, there is good news here - since the last time I led Xia Xiaoling and Zhou Yan to teach a few cross-dressing robbers, I don't know if it was because the largest gang was * out of the way to deter other criminals, and the speechless "masquerade robbery" has finally disappeared.

Stopped by the red light again, Zhao Nuo's black Lamborghini was parked alone on the old streets of Beicheng District, and at this moment, a sharp engine sound came from behind.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, I saw a dangerous red light rushing in, and the Ferrari stopped next to his Lamborghini, waiting for the red light while the window slowly lowered.

Immediately after, a young male voice floated out of the car:

"To the traffic light in front, 10,000 yuan, play?"

Seeing the other party's provocation, Zhao Nuo also lowered the window and smiled at the young man sitting in the car: "Okay." ”

……

Five minutes later.

Until she walked into the courtyard of the "secret base", Xia Xiaoling beside her was still asking curiously:

"Did that person send money to Zhao Nuo? It's so weak. ”

"You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity." Zhao Nuo touched the extra check in his pocket.

Few people know that he is the legendary racing driver "Viper" among the drag racing family back then. But now, few people dare to continue racing.

Since several traffic accidents, the police have also investigated and dealt with underground drag racing with much more force, and the bikers who would roam the streets at night have finally disappeared.

"Time flies so fast......" Zhao Nuo muttered in a low voice.

"What?" Xia Xiaoling, who was still clumsily pulling out the key to open the door, turned her head in confusion.

"Nothing." Zhao Nuo looked at the small courtyard covered with snow in the secret base.

In the past few months, a lot of messy things have happened in the city, and unfortunately, I seem to have been involved in a lot.

Fortunately, the city has been quiet recently, otherwise I might have been involved in something again. Fighting with a brutal murderer or something like that, Zhao Nuo didn't want to go through it again.

Walking into the house and turning on the light, as the two of them poured into the house together, and there was a burst of cold air brought from outside, Xia Xiaoling took off her white coat and threw it on the sofa, and then asked, "What does Zhao Nuo want to eat?" ”

Taking off his dark trench coat and hanging it on the hanger by the door, Zhao Nuo finally reacted to what the other party said just now, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart:

"You can also cook?"

"Recently, my mother taught me, and she said I could become a teacher." Xia Xiaoling confidently rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth and white forearms, and then clenched her fists confidently.

"Or I'll come, what do you have here?" Zhao Nuo asked.

In his opinion, except for making zuò games, Xia Xiaoling cannot be trusted in most things. If you eat that guy's food, God knows what will happen, so it's better to handle it yourself.

"Ah, Zhao Nuo doesn't want to eat, then I'm not hungry anymore, let's play games." Xia Xiaoling lowered her sleeves, and her voice sounded a little listless.

……

Even if she doesn't have any experience in love or anything like that, Zhao Nuo, who is an expert in GALGAME, immediately judged that she was angry, and in order to avoid a "decrease in favorability", she could only nod helplessly:

"Okay, I'll take care of the cooking."

As soon as she heard this, Xia Xiaoling, who was wilted just now, immediately came to her senses again, hummed a song and walked into the kitchen, took out some ingredients such as cabbage and eggs from the refrigerator and put them on the board, and then picked up her apron and stared.

“……”

A minute passed, and the girl still maintained her original appearance, seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Nuo opened her mouth and asked:

"You don't know how to wear an apron, do you?"

"Hmm." The girl nodded honestly, her long black hair dangling.

"I really can't help you, leave it to me." Zhao Nuo, who was powerless to complain, walked behind the girl and helped her tie the white apron to her body.

"...... like dad and mom," Xia Xiaoling whispered without looking back.

"Huh?" Zhao Nuo made a confused sound, and then immediately realized what she was talking about.

―― Being alone with Xia Xiaoling and tying an apron in the kitchen, in the eyes of others, probably does have a feeling of "old husband and wife". Even if it's in GALGAME, it's probably a good time to increase your favorability......

“……”

Thinking of this, Zhao Nuo, who has always been interested in things like falling in love, and was praised by his cousin as "a person destined to be lonely for a lifetime", suddenly had a strange throbbing in his heart.

Looking back, when I first met Xia Xiaoling, I seemed to be very speechless. Since then, the girl has always been a powerless being, always causing trouble or saying naïve things.

With his previous lazy personality, he probably wouldn't care about her at all.

But why did he keep helping her?

"Ah, that, I'm going to cook." Xia Xiaoling's words interrupted Zhao Nuo's thoughts.

"Oh, good."

A certain game house that Xia Xiaoling had always been unable to do was at a loss again, and sat on the sofa in the living room and began to wait.

――Why do you want to help this guy?

In the past, I didn't seem to have any feelings for Xia Xiaoling, but I didn't think she hated her, that's all.

But now, what about your feelings?

What kind of feelings he has for Xia Xiaoling, even Zhao Nuo himself can't say clearly.

Although he already knew that Xia Shiren was "assisting" himself, Zhao Nuo couldn't be sure of his feelings at this time.

After thinking for a moment, he decisively gave up thinking about this question:

Anyway, this girl has to be handed over to herself for "processing" in the next few days, so it's better to confirm it later. R1152
