The hourglass was still pouring purple sand.

Blurred Xia Liang's timbre, and his eyes under his sunglasses couldn't see joy and sorrow: "If, I mean if—what are you going to do when the other party wants to have a more intimate relationship with you?" ”

Mo Nian closed his eyes: "As a doctor, what is your advice?" ”

"As your treating doctor, the best advice is of course to want you to maintain your status quo. Is your mental state really able to withstand such a strong change in feelings? He hissed, "But as your friend, I want you to take this step." ”

"But it doesn't make sense to me." Mo Nian said.

"You didn't want to go any further with her...... Did there be some physical or psychological contact? Xia Liang was surprised.

"Do you want to touch your head?" Mo Nian thought back to the little fluffy head, "Just like she would often rub the black cat's belly, I would do similar things, probably out of the same psychology." ”

Xia Liang: "...... Third brother, you are an emotional cognitive disorder is not a common sense cognitive disorder, of course it is not like this, but an action that will occur between couples. ”

"What's that?"

Xia Liang: "You can consult your cousin, he is quite successful in this area, from methods to theories." ”

"I consulted with him, so what else do I want you to do?" Mo Nian raised his eyebrows.

Xia Liang: "...... I have a specialization in the art industry, and I fell in love and went out to look for Yang Shuze, thank you. ”

"I hear schadenfreude and vague anticipation in your words." Mo Nian suddenly spoke.

"Of course." Xia Liang shrugged, "In the world, who else cares about your relationship status as much as I do?" ”

——

Night in the desert.

"You don't understand what you're doing."

"I understand, I know what I'm doing, I want to be with you."

"Actually, it's good that we maintain the status quo, and I will always be good to you."

"No, I don't want to, I want to be closer to you, I want to care about you, I like you, so I want to give you the best version of myself."

"If you say you like it, then you will always like me and won't betray me?"

"Of course."

"What if one day you find out that I'm not what you think, and then you start hating me."

"I won't."

"Will you not want me?"

"That day will never come out."

"Well, I believe you." With a slight effort, he grabbed the blushing girl into his arms. Resisting the urge to rub his head, he pondered what he should do next.

……

Looking at Mo Nian and Gou Xiaoxiao who came out from behind the sand with their little hands, Gu Beihu's eyes narrowed, but soon he returned to his sunny and cheerful appearance: "Look, I pulled this bone out." ”

The four of them looked at each other, looking at the skull shelf full of gold and jewels, and a sense of comical rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"Xiaoxiao, you come." Mo Nian opened his mouth and communicated with NPCs, but he still had to specialize in the art industry.

Gou Xiaoxiao took a step forward, but before he could speak, the skeleton spoke first.

"Lost travelers, have you lost your way in the rolling sand? Do you crave abundant water and soil and hospitable girls? His gem-clad hand pointed in the opposite direction to the oasis, "There, that's where you end." ”

Gou Xiaoxiao still remembers that she was on the live broadcast, and the camera was facing the big face of the guide.

"Mom, this skull is so realistic, is it electric? I didn't see the line. ”

"Buried in the sand, if you want me to say that the anchor is a hardcore special effect."

"The one in front is not an oasis, it's a mirage, don't be fooled by the anchor."

She glanced at the message, and almost counted it in her mind: "Let's go in the direction he pointed." ”

The four of them walked for a long, long time, until they reached the point where they were physically exhausted and their mouths were dry, and the harsh environment in the desert would make people dehydrated, irritable, and the constant hunger scenery brought more psychological pressure to people.

"There's something up ahead." Gu Beihu shouted in surprise.

Gou Xiaoxiao ran a few steps forward, and saw a ruined wall from a distance - it really meant that it was an ancient city, but the wind and sun of the millennium had left only the outline here, and those sturdy rooms were half-hidden under the soil layer, no matter how you looked, this place did not look like their destination.

"What now?" Shi Ying almost collapsed, "What the hell is this place?" We should go straight to the oasis, how can we believe what the skull said, now we're done. ”

"The appearance of the guide must have his reason." Mo Nian didn't want to argue with her, "Don't you think it's strange, since this ruined earth city has an unobstructed view from the outside, where did the four people who came over just now go?" ”

Gou Xiaoxiao's eyes swept and found a magic wand at the gate of Tucheng: "This seems to be what Shi Ruan took just now." ”

"There's weirdness in town." Gu Beihu put his right hand on his waist and began to be vigilant.

"However, my skills don't tell me that there is danger here." Gou Xiaoxiao looked at everyone, "Why don't we go into the city?" ”

Everyone hesitated, and finally Mo Nian decided: "It's not a way to stand here, go in." ”

The moment they stepped into the ancient city, the air around them seemed to be distorted, and when they opened their eyes, the picture in front of them had completely changed.

A desolate ancient city in the desert has changed in a blink of an eye.

The streets were bustling with people and merchants, some leading horses and camels, and they were bargaining fiercely. Most of the buildings on the street are made of stone, tall and sturdy, and resistant to strong winds and sand. Wind chimes hang under the eaves, the wind blows, and orchids in light veils dance.

"! The anchor has teleported again, where is this, Persia or Big Eclipse? ”

"The young lady who danced just now is so good-looking, it's so good-looking, that leg and waist, which film and television base is this, want to go, is there a group?"

"Looking at the architectural style, I speculate that this is the architectural style of the fourth world of A.D., this building restoration is too realistic and too elegant, and these clothing styles, this pattern and this color, and the archaeological findings are very consistent."

"The one above looks like a professional, and the head of the talk is the truth."

"The supernatural anchor is cute and pets for a while, but it's too unprofessional."

……

Gou Xiaoxiao glanced at the screen, and the shock in her heart was not much less than that of the audience, this is also amazing, is it an illusion in front of her, or is the Rubik's Cube really letting them travel through time and space.

[Rubik's Cube Tips: Now 13 rolls and holiday eggs are hidden in this ancient city of Loulan, first come, first served, I hope players have a happy game.] 】

Gou Xiaoxiao: "Thirteen rolls? ”

At this time, they happened to pass by a pancake stall, Mo Nian swept a little silver light from the corner of his eyes, and quickly pulled out a card from under the last cake, and there was indeed a question written on it.

[The greatest virtue of human beings is curiosity. Who said this? 】

Gou Xiaoxiao: "...... Is this a famous quote? ”
