The dark night once again shrouded the earth, and the lights of each house in a very ordinary community in China were also extinguished one after another, but one window was abnormally "exposed" with bright light. In the room, a boy was slowly getting dressed, then getting up from the bed and walking to the bathroom to wash up. The boy's name is Zhang Ming, and it has been a year since he graduated, and he has been staying at home, living a life that is reversed from ordinary people's schedules every day.

Zhang Ming quickly finished the meal that had already cooled down on the coffee table, then walked back to the room to turn on the computer, and skillfully clicked on a program called "XE" (World of Warcraft login program) on the desktop, and entered the already familiar world. Enter the account password, select the character, and watch the game loading bar move slowly, when the familiar corner "color" appeared on the roof of the Stormwind City Bank, Zhang Ming closed his eyes, not daring to continue looking, but his ears remembered the ultimatum that his father gave him during the day yesterday. After a long time, Zhang Ming opened his eyes and slowly typed characters into the guild channel.

My heart drifted (Zhang Ming): "Brothers, I plan to leave the World of Warcraft for a while, go out and find something to do to support myself." ”

the tenderness of that sword (the Night Thief); "Looking for a job, your kid will graduate this year?"

There is no "milk" (Priest of the Night); "Hey, another one that's going to AFK (leaving World of Warcraft for a while). Sure enough, Warcraft has not been alive for a few years, and as soon as this new version opens, how many old people have gone, and I don't know how long I can hold on. ”

I'm the Dharma God (dwarf mage, guild leader): "Brother, I understand you, playing games is not the right way after all, it's better to go out and find something to do." Don't move in Stormwind, I'll take a screenshot of you. ”

Sunny and rainy (Dwarf Hunter): "Yes, I'll go too, Drifting Zero took good care of me before." ”

.....．

Seeing that those guild members who had been diving for a long time came out one by one, and then ran to Stormwind City and took screenshots of their own horns, the corners of Zhang Ming's eyes were wet. He has been playing World of Warcraft for more than 6 years, and he is reluctant to leave this world, but remembering that he has become a rice worm in the family, it is time for him to make a break and leave this world that has given him too many feelings. For himself and for his family, he plans to leave the game world for a while and go out to the society to "wander".

Ruosui: "I heard that people from your guild said you plan to AFK?" At this time, a private chat came. Zhang Ming saw that it was Ruoshui, and she was also a priest. The two got acquainted when the stake dummy in Ironforge practiced the output loop together, and then slowly the relationship between the two got better and better, playing books together and doing tasks together......

I was in a trance: "I told you, it's been a year since I graduated, and I can't spend so much time in the game every day, so it's time to leave." ”

Ruoshui: "Even you are leaving, it seems that this monster really doesn't have anything worth remembering me, so how can I contact you in the future, your QQ shouldn't change." ”

My heart drifted: "Hehe, I won't change it, but you don't have to look for me." I'm sure I'll be back, but I don't know when it will be, and you'll probably be able to meet new people who will have a great time with you. ”

Ruoshui said: "New friends are friends, and you are different from them. By the way, you wait for me, I'll give you a gift. ”

Zhang Ming looked at the message sent by Ruoshui, and didn't know what to say, and the corners of his eyes that had been wiped dry just now slowly became wet again. After a while, Zhang Ming saw the horn of the stupid priest appear in front of him, and then proposed a trading box to Zhang Ming, and then a blue dragon baby appeared on it.

My heart drifted: "What does this mean?" Zhang Ming looked at all this and didn't understand it.

Ruoshui: "The first gift you gave me was a baby blue dragon, so I went to brush one myself." I've always wanted to give it to you, but I'm sorry...... But now, if you don't send it again, it seems that there is no chance. ”

My heart drifted: "Thank you, but I don't think I need to, I'm going down, you should go to bed early, girls better not stay up late." Zhang Ming quickly typed in the characters, then canceled the transaction and chose to quit the game.

If water; "You wait, I'll talk to you on QQ." Just as Zhang Ming's screen exited the countdown in 20 seconds, Ruoshui quickly sent a message. After Zhang Ming saw this message, he hurriedly clicked the red cross in the upper right corner, and then blacked out the familiar avatar in the QQ friend column, then closed his eyes and leaned heavily on the back chair.

"What am I, a pheasant school graduate, I haven't had a job for a year after graduation. People are serious undergraduates from key universities, so I'd better forget it with her. Leaning on the back of the chair, Zhang Ming said self-deprecatingly. Zhang Ming once chatted with Ruoshui, and knew that the other party was two years younger than him, very beautiful, and studied at a key university in the capital, but he was very simple. Then with the contact between the two in the game, Zhang Ming also found that the simple Ruoshui seemed to have a good impression of her because of his care in the game, but Zhang Ming, who had never been in love, and Ruoshui, who was simply shy, did not break this hazy layer of window paper, so the two have been maintaining a relationship as good friends. It may be because Zhang Ming suddenly decided to AFK today, as if Ruoshui also made a decision. But Zhang Ming thought about his own situation and felt that it would be better for him and Ruoshui to be shattered.

Zhang Ming originally thought that after deleting the game, he would forget everything in the past, but he found that his head was becoming more and more 'messy', and his mind was full of pictures from the World of Warcraft, including pictures of playing books with his comrades, and pictures of doing tasks with Ruoshui, etc., there were memories of his 6 years of youth, and he couldn't forget them.

"Son, the bed is not for you to sleep, but for you to think about things. If you only think about sleeping every time you lie in bed, then you have nothing to do in your life, and before you go to bed, think about whether you have done your business today. Zhang Ming, who turned off the computer and lay back on the bed, suddenly popped up in his mind a sentence that his father gave him when he was a child. So he thought a lot, being born, going to school, growing up, being exposed to the Internet, being immersed in World of Warcraft, and now being "confused" and overwhelmed by the future.

Slowly, Zhang Ming, whose mind was full of too many memories, became sleepy and fell asleep. He didn't notice that in the dark sky outside the window, several unusually bright stars were strangely arranged in a straight line, and from the brightest star at the end of the straight line, a beam of green light shot straight at Zhang Ming. And Zhang Ming, who was asleep, just felt that his dream was too peculiar, just like on the Internet. Because there, he found that he actually returned to elementary school, caught up with the goddess who had a crush of 12 years, and then returned to World of Warcraft and stepped on the top without regrets......

"Obviously, I'm up, or I'm late." Just when Zhang Ming was asleep, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Hey, I know, you just put the food on the table, and I'll get up and eat it myself later." You go to bed early. Zhang Ming on the bed seemed to have forgotten his decision yesterday, thinking that it was still the day when black and white were reversed in the past, so he turned his back and planned to continue sleeping.

"You kid, didn't you say yes yesterday, why did you learn to play tricks." The woman said angrily, opened the door to the bedroom, and walked towards the boy who was still sleeping in the bed.

"Hey, hey, I'm up, I'm up, how old am I, and I'm pulling my ears." Zhang Ming found that when he was about to fall asleep again, his ears hurt but there was a burst of pain, so he quickly got up and shouted dissatisfiedly.

But when he opened his eyes and looked out of the window in a habitual way, he found that his room was still the same room, but the difference was that the curtains had been opened, and he was a little unaccustomed to the dazzling eyes outside the window. "Why is it morning, don't I always get up in the middle of the night? Also, why did my mother think of plucking my ears again? Zhang Ming looked at the dazzling sunlight outside and still didn't react, but when he looked back at his mother, he was stunned.

"Oh my God, when did my mother become so young and not have a single white hair. Wait, why is my bed so small, and my bookcase, and my computer, why are they gone? And after discovering that his mother was different, Zhang Ming looked around at the surrounding furnishings, everything was different from yesterday, so Zhang Ming was blinded.

"Hurry up and get dressed, do you still want me to pinch you, breakfast is ready, I'll send you off after eating." Zhang Ming's mother saw Zhang Ming sitting on the bed, thinking that he hadn't come back to his senses, so she continued.

"Report, what day is it? I don't remember anything, where I'm going to report today. Zhang Ming replied to his mother's words blankly, thinking in his heart, what the hell is going on, why did my mother suddenly become younger and let herself report for duty, did they find a job for themselves?

"Didn't you say it yesterday, you're going to elementary school today, but you're no longer a kindergarten child." And Zhang Ming's mother looked at her son with a suspicious look and said in a positive voice.

"Is it true that all this is true, that yesterday's dream was real? Could it be that I'm in elementary school now, and I'll catch up with Swallow and rise to the top in World of Warcraft? Zhang Ming listened to what his mother said in disbelief, and then suddenly thought of something.

(PS: The previous part of this article has been overhauled several times, but each time it is unsatisfactory, and in the end it can only be like this.) Here's a reminder for some new readers, because it was a little whimsical at the beginning, and I wanted to write some emotional drama, but it was written so well, if you can't stand it, jump over, and there will be a lot of O texts behind. As for why Rebirth played Warcraft, in fact, it was just because I wanted to write a Warcraft memory essay, YY, it's just a matter of setting. Recommendation and collection are your greatest support for Drifting, are the motivation for Drifting to continue writing, if you have extra tickets on hand, please support Drifting, thank you again and again. ）
