MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 81
The world in the dream penetrates shallow light.
Tao Zhiyue felt that he was trapped in a soft cloud and didn't want to wake up at all. Although the wonderful dream had come to an abrupt end, he was still trying to catch the tail of the dream.
It's a pity that the light outside seems to be getting brighter and brighter, and through the closed eyes, a bright orange color is reflected.
Reluctantly, he opened his eyes a little, and saw a familiar figure swaying by the window, quietly opened the excellent blackout curtains, and the bright daylight diffused into the whole room.
So Tao Zhiyue pulled up the quilt decisively and covered his head.
The mattress beside him sagged, and the man sat down beside him and poked him through the quilt.
"You woke up, I saw you opened your eyes."
Tao Zhi said in a dull voice, "It's an illusion."
"But now you're talking, so you must be awake."
"It's an auditory hallucination."
Huo Ran laughed: "Get up quickly."
"You don't go to work today, why do you get up so early?"
Huo Ran put the watch in front of him: "It's almost eleven o'clock."
Tao Zhiyue paused for a second, and immediately sat up stiffly: "It's eleven o'clock?!"
Instantly he regained consciousness, he remembered that he was not at home now, he was in Huo Ran's castle, and Huo Ran's friends were coming today.
He stayed in this huge castle last night. In order to maintain a good image in front of Huo Ran's family, he chose to sleep alone in the guest bedroom.
I have to say that the quality of the mattress is really good, and I actually slept for twelve hours in one sleep.
He seldom sleeps in even on weekends, so he thought it was just a natural wake-up at eight or nine o'clock.
Tao Zhi touched his messy sleeping hair, lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "Are they here?"
"Not yet, don't be nervous."
"That's good."
Tao Zhiyue relaxed slightly, and tried to shake the blame: "It must be the fault of the mattress, it's so comfortable."
"After all, it's the standard bed of Princess and the Pea." Huo Ran went on to blame, "It's all my sister's request. I haven't heard her voice until now. She must be still sleeping. She really is a pig."
Seeing Tao Zhiyue's expression of lingering fear, he added: "Actually, it's okay to be a friend. I mainly want you to experience the early service in my sister's diary. It's a rare opportunity, so I can't come here for nothing."
Tao Zhi was shocked: "Did you prepare flower petal water for washing your face?"
"That's not true, petal water is too childish."
Mature and down-to-earth Huo Ran introduced: "It's the kind in TV dramas, a row of servants come in neatly carrying washbasins, towels, breakfast, clothes to wear today, etc., and a large group of people sit on the bed. your service."
Tao Zhiyue said insincerely: "...This is really not childish at all."
"Because I think your expression on that occasion must be very funny."
While talking, Huo Ran hid back with a sense of crisis, but was still hit by the soft goose down pillow.
He hugged the pillow that Tao Zhiyue threw over him, and continued to move his sword forward: "I remember breaking the pillow once before, and the feathers inside spilled out and floated all over the room in vain. It was quite beautiful, like snow falling Same, do you want to experience it?"
"don't want!!"
After being interrupted by Huo Ran, the tension was gone. Tao Zhiyue went to the bathroom of the guest bedroom to wash up, changed into the clothes that Huo Ran had prepared in advance in the cloakroom, and went to the living room of the guest bedroom. I simply ate some breakfast pads brought up by the servants to fill my stomach.
Even an ordinary guest bedroom is this big.
No matter what's on the fancy dinner plate, it always tastes like lemon.
very sour.
As soon as breakfast was served, Huo Ran received a message from a friend, and immediately got up and walked out.
"Several people have arrived. I'll go down to find them first. Don't worry, you can come down anytime."
Tao Zhiyue nodded, and heard him say again: "If you get lost, you can call me."
"...that's not going to happen."
Tao Zhiyue maintained a kind smile.
However, he never expected that Huo Ran's law of flag must fall was also transmitted to him.
Twenty minutes later, Tao Zhiyue briefly lost his direction in life in the winding corridor.
How can this happen.jpg
A passing servant smiled and asked him, "Are you looking for an elevator?"
It is absolutely impossible for Tao Zhiyue to leave any clues for Huo Ran to know: "No, I will just go shopping."
"Okay, if you need to take the elevator, go to the left and go through two intersections, then turn right and you will see it."
Very considerate.
Tao Zhiyue heaved a sigh of relief, finally found the elevator and went to the first floor.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and before the door opened, he had already heard Huo Sihan's lively voice coming from the spacious hall.
"...This bracelet is beautiful, I like it. Lu Xiaoyan, your aesthetics has really undergone an earth-shaking change! I am so touched, woo woo woo."
Another hearty male voice sounded.
"It's not so exaggerated. She also likes the gift I brought to my aunt last time."
Huo Sihan hesitated to speak: "Obviously your EQ has not grown at the same pace as your aesthetics."
"I seem to feel that you are mocking me."
"It's better to remove it."
Tao Zhi, who was walking out of the elevator, couldn't hold back and laughed.
The two people who were chatting in the hall looked over, Huo Sihan immediately left Lu Yan beside him and greeted him happily.
"Brother Zhizhi, why did you wake up later than me! How about it, have you experienced the noble one-stop wake-up service!"
Tao Zhi Echigo Zhihoujue said, "No... so it was your idea."
"Hehe, how fun." Huo Sihan passed the test with a silly smile, "And I just provided some details for reference, it was my brother who said he would do this! He is the culprit!"
Hearing the key words, Lu Yan next to him looked at Tao Zhiyue curiously: "You belong to Huo Ran..."
"Boyfriend." Tao Zhiyue held out his hand calmly to him with a smile on his face, "Hello, my name is Tao Zhiyue."
From Huo Sihan's familiar attitude with him, Tao Zhiyue guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
The little boy who had been secretly in love with Huo Ran for a long time.
Very simple and straightforward self-introduction.
Lu Yan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized that he shook hands with him: "Lu Yan, Huo Ran and I have been neighbors since kindergarten, and the three of us grew up together."
He also made a joke: "Of course, after he moved in junior high school, he was no longer a neighbor."
Tao Zhi smiled, "I heard from him that you have a very good relationship."
Huo Sihan, the melon-eating crowd, showed a silent wow expression, "Although I don't know anything, why do I smell a bit of excitement."
Lu Yan looked puzzled: "What irritating smell? Do you smell natural gas? Should you go to the kitchen to take a look?"
Tao Zhiyue was still thinking about something, but this sentence directly calmed him down, reminding him of the long-lost antique straight male painting style.
As expected of Fa Xiao who grew up together since kindergarten.
"..." Huo Sihan sighed, "It's true that love can make people grow up quickly. Time has passed, and my brother has grown up. Only you are still the stupid straight boy from the beginning."
"But you didn't fall in love, and you grew up a lot."
Huo Sihan was suddenly poked at a painful point, and his smile froze.
"Lu Xiaoyan! I order you to take this sentence back!"
In a relaxed atmosphere, Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said solemnly to Tao Zhiyue: "According to Huo Ran's personality, he should have told you all about it... I hope you don't mind, it's all over, and now he is me friends."
Huo Sihan grasped the point again, and his gossiping eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them.
Tao Zhiyue saw relief in his eyes, and nodded after a while.
Lu Yan relaxed a little, looked at him, and suddenly remembered something.
"I always feel that you look familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, are you also from Yanda?"
Tao Zhi was more startled.
Before he could answer, Huo Sihan turned on the mocking mode in disappointment: "No, no, I thought there was some exciting plot, but this is it?"
"Lu Xiaoyan, your trick is too old-fashioned. Only people from 800 years ago used familiarity to strike up a conversation. Just wait, I will inform my brother right away. You are finished hahahahaha."
"I'm not trying to strike up a conversation, don't talk nonsense!"
"It's no wonder! I clearly remember that when you were in elementary school, you talked to the girl in the next class, and you said that I saw you in the bookstore last week..."
"How do you remember everything from so long ago?!"
The three of them walked towards the outdoor lawn talking and laughing.
There were piles of freshly skewered ingredients beside the grill, and six or seven young people of Huo Ran's age gathered together, chatting lively.
Huo Ran is still the most dazzling one.
He turned his head, saw Tao Zhiyue, immediately waved, and then introduced his partner to everyone in a very steady and loving tone.
Some people were slightly surprised, some were thoughtful, and some quickly started booing.
Tao Zhiyue greeted them generously.
"Damn it, it's not made up, Huo Ran, you can do it. Let me calculate how many miserable bachelors are left."
"You look so young, shit, are you a college student? I'm getting to know you again, Mr. Huo..."
"Come, come, let's take a traditional reservation! Take the wine, get the wine!"
One of the chubby friends stared blankly at Tao Zhiyue, wondering what he was thinking.
The friend next to him bumped into him, and teased, "Restrain yourself, fat man, what kind of expression is this, be careful that Huo Ran beats you up."
"Fart, I'm all solid flesh. I don't know if he can beat me." The fat man said seriously, "I just think Huo Ran's partner is very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."
Lu Yan learned and used it flexibly: "Brother, you are so stupid, you made a move eight hundred years ago."
Huo Ran didn't take their joke to heart: "You really may not be able to beat me. I recently learned a lot of new tricks from an old man in the community, which is more than enough to beat you."
"Can the old man be compared with me? I am also a good athlete, come on, let's make gestures!"
Huo Sihan couldn't stop laughing: "You guys are so stupid, you still want to get out of the order like this?"
Tao Zhiyue was also smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Lu Yan and Huo Ran are college classmates, and the fat man may also belong to Yan University.
And so was he.
He ignored this problem, Yanda University is the best university in the area around Yanping, Huo Ran has a few friends who graduated from the same school, it is normal.
Even though Tao Zhiyue was only in his sophomore year, in the year and a half before he came to this world, perhaps "Tao Zhiyue" really had an intersection with them.
But he doesn't have any memory of it. In fact, apart from the life experience briefly mentioned in the novel, the roommate he saw when he woke up, and the professional textbooks on the bedside, he doesn't know the life of "Tao Zhiyue" at all.
Will it be found to be different?
Tao Zhiyue wandered into the sky a little nervously.
The orange charcoal fire is burning hotly on the grill, and the meat skewers gradually shrink and change color, and the aroma is wafting out.
The topic of a group of people has changed and changed, chatting endlessly.
"How long will you be working on that project? You won't be staying in Shanbei forever, will you?"
"For a few years, it depends on whether the progress is smooth or not. I will come back when I am not busy."
"It's rare when you're not busy. Alas, the days of playing ball on weekends are so far away. Speaking of which, the last ball meeting, good guy, I didn't play much, but I was taken aback."
"Hahahahaha, I seem to have heard you say, did he ask the air what he usually does on weekends?"
"That's right, I was stunned. I wondered if he had found a transparent person. I actually had a nightmare at night."
That was the first weekend after Huo Ran met "Doctor Tao".
Looking back, Huo Ran realized that this was another good opportunity to show affection, so he pretended to be flat and said: "People who are in love at the beginning are like this. They accidentally think that the other party is by their side. It seems that you still don't understand."
"...It's ok, it's almost done, Mr. Huo!"
While giggling, the fat man suddenly slapped his thigh: "Damn, I finally remembered."
The play mentioned in the small talk triggered his memory.
He looked at Tao Zhiyue very excitedly: "You are the No. 7 student from the School of Economics and Management. You always wear No. 7 ball uniforms and are very popular with girls. I don't remember the name, but I only remember No. 7."
Hearing this, Lu Yan also made a voice of sudden realization: "Yes, it seems to be true."
Huo Ran was at a loss: "What number 7?"
"Don't pretend to be Huo Ran, you don't even know your partner? Although after two years, it seems that his appearance has changed a little..."
Fatty saw that his surprised expression didn't seem to be feigned, so he quickly added: "Even if you haven't seen it, you must have heard of it, No. 7, the new light of the School of Economics and Management, with a particularly fierce style of play."
"In the New Year's game before the winter vacation, everyone wanted to see our two colleges play. Who knew that you would hand in your thesis at the end of the year and go out to play. But within a few months, you left school on the 7th. It's a pity, so You didn't even meet the game you rushed back to when you graduated."
"Speaking of it, it was quite a round trip, but you are actually together now, is this fate?"
Huo Sihan has begun to be excited: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly
Huo Ran frowned, and tried hard to recall: "I seem to have a little impression. At that time, there was a student who played the ball very well."
"But he doesn't know how to play. We have played with the shooting machine in the video game city, and the short-range shots are not very accurate." Huo Ran said firmly, "You must have misunderstood the person."
He turned his head to look at Tao Zhiyue beside him, wanting to get affirmation, but he saw Tao Zhiyue's extremely silent expression.
The fat man looked like you were teasing me: "Impossible, I misunderstood and I washed my hair upside down! I am so impressed with No. 7's style of play that I will never forget it in my next life. Ever since I saw No. 7 being two meters away from our court When the Giants got hurt while grabbing the ball, I never dare to discriminate against body size on the court again."
"It was an outdoor court that day, and No. 7 fell down, and a long wound was opened on his elbow by a broken stone. The blood was bleeding, and the school girls who were watching were scared and cried. I don't know how long to stay. deep scar."
Hearing this tragic description, Huo Ran was terrified.
He subconsciously looked at Tao Zhiyue's arm.
In Fatty's vivid narration, almost everyone looked over.
