Penitent hand, trembling slightly

The first day Lou Jingmo disappeared seemed to be the same as when she was there.

It's just that no one woke her up this time, and gave her a sweet kiss when she was lying in bed.

December 12 passed, New Year's Day came, and a new calendar was replaced in the apartment.

After a decadent day, Shen Maomao cheered up and made a plan for what to do next.

Is she a strong person?

She didn't even have an answer to that question.

But now it is not a question of whether she is strong or not, but that she must be strong, for Lou Jingmo and for herself.

Lou Jingmo and Shang Zhou are both outstanding players, and even they can be folded in the game. Shen Maomao doesn't have any confidence in his own strength.

She needs enough experience, and it is best to grow into an existence like Lou Jingmo, so that it is possible to bring her out of the game.

She contacted Tongzhou's vice president and told him about Lou Jingmo's failure.The vice president only said a word of condolences, and didn't mean to ask for cards.

Before Chinese New Year, Shen's mother and Shen's father called to ask her when she would go home. She was in poor condition at the time, and she was afraid that her family would worry, so she refused with the excuse of being too busy at work, and turned around and transferred a large amount of living expenses to her mother. Mother Shen was so scared that she thought she was doing something criminal to earn so much money.

She explained that it was the bonus for making a big deal, and she still had part of it in her hand, which was completely enough to spend, so Mother Shen accepted the money dubiously.

Before hanging up the phone, Shen's mother suddenly said to her: "Little rabbit, you are not young, should you find someone? If you really like girls, mom and dad will not object, your daughter from Uncle Wang's family I seem to like girls too, why don't you take the time to have a meal together?"

Shen's mother remembered that she came out of the closet, but she only forgot about Lou Jingmo.

Shen Maomao was stunned for a few seconds, and she came back to her senses after shouting a few times over there, and said to the phone: "Mom, I have someone I like, and I'm still chasing after him, and I'll bring it back for you to see when I catch up."

Shen's mother was surprised: "Have you already?! Is it a boy or a girl? Are there any photos?"

Shen Maomao said softly: "It's a girl, she doesn't like taking pictures, but you will definitely like her."

……

Years later, Shen Maomao began to take orders frantically, from the most basic newcomers to the old people who had passed the book several times, and got through one copy after another. The bosses he could bring changed wave after wave. The props that I don't use can make money that ordinary people can't make in their lifetime.

Lou Jingmo transferred all the property to her before entering the capital, but in fact, she is not short of money at all.But she didn't want to touch Lou Jingmo's money, because she always felt that if she spent all the money, Lou Jingmo would never come back.

In the following year, she seldom rested. Most of the time, she came out of one instance today, and then went to the next instance non-stop the next day—she didn’t want to stay in the apartment, because the apartment was a bit empty without some things. , making her feel uncomfortable and even a little breathless.And once a person is busy, there is no extra time to think about it.

The high frequency of copying made her improve rapidly, and the orders she took were also upgraded all the way, becoming more and more difficult.She also encountered a situation where her life was hanging by a thread a few times in the dungeon, but fortunately, there was no danger, and she gritted her teeth and persisted.

On June [-]st, Shen Maomao went to the amusement park by himself to ride the Ferris wheel.

She stared blankly at the empty ring finger, and followed the Ferris wheel for a full circle, which was a completely opposite emotion from the last time she sat.

Without Shang Zhou and Lou Jingmo, there are new bosses appearing in the forum, and one year is enough for them to forget the people who used to exist.Shen Maomao was not reconciled, she was afraid that she would be the only one left in the world who remembered Lou Jingmo, so she simply changed her forum id to Xiao Lou, and walked in the game as Lou Jingmo.

At first Pu Ke would ask her where Lou Jingmo had gone, and Shen Maomao would answer him every time "she will be back soon", but she didn't come back every time.After Puke understood something, he stopped asking.

On December 31 this year, Shen Maomao closed the forum and sat alone in the study for a whole day without letting Puke in.

Puke eavesdropped at the door for a long time, but didn't hear a sound from inside, so he flew away in peace.

The elf is not a human being, and he doesn't have the rich emotions of a human being, so he doesn't know that some people can't cry when they are extremely sad.

The next day when Shen Maomao came out of the study, it seemed that nothing happened, but he just worked harder and desperately to get on with the original.

Later, she bought two small villas next to each other according to the agreement, one for her parents to live in, and the other was temporarily vacant, and she hired a special person to clean it.

During the Chinese New Year this year, she took Puke home, asked her mother for a bank card that was not very useful, and asked her to bind her mobile phone number, and after removing some daily expenses, she took all the money she had left. The money was transferred in.She was afraid that one day she would die in the dungeon too. At that time, she would not be able to fulfill her filial piety in front of her parents, but they could use the money to do whatever they wanted.

She didn't go anywhere for the whole first month, and didn't enter a copy, just stayed with Father Shen and Mother Shen in the villa.

When Shen's mother asked, she said that she was in a bad mood recently and had taken a long vacation. After that, Shen's father and Shen's mother didn't dare to ask any more questions, and let her play with the garden in front of the villa, saying that they would leave it for them to plant when it was finished. Have some side dishes.

As the new year passed, Shen Maomao returned to the apartment and continued to make ends meet.

Sometimes she doesn't know whether her hard work will bear fruit, and she will suddenly have the idea of ​​"giving up if it doesn't work", but when she thinks of Lou Jingmo who is still waiting for her, she forces herself to cheer up, Continue to invest in endless copies.

Time passed quickly like this. Later, she met a lot of people and saw a lot of things. The ability to pass dungeons became stronger and stronger, and she gradually became a big boss in the game. More and more, Xiaolou's name has returned to the player's field of vision - it is the only thing that makes her happy in the past few years.

Every time she hears others call her Xiaolou in the game, she has the feeling that Lou Jingmo is still by her side.

Four years later, one day Shen Maomao was surprised to find that he was already 30 years old.

At the age of 30, you are no longer young. It seems to be only one year away from 29 years old, but it is like a moat to women. Once you go down, you can't get back up again.

Shen Maomao met Lou Jingmo at the age of 22, and was with her in the same year, and then the two of them went together until she was 24 years old. In the next six years, she walked forward alone with heavy burdens, no matter how hard it was, no matter how hard she thought about it, she didn't shed a single tear.

Compared with six years ago, she has changed a lot now - I don't know if she will recognize her when she meets Lou Jingmo again.

Those cards had been sitting on the sofa for several years, and she covered them with a box.Whenever she felt that her ability had improved a lot, she would pick up a card and put it in the inventory. After so many years, she finally only had the last Judas left.

And Shen Maomao also had a premonition of the time of his next copy, which would be in May of this year.

She arranged for a few bosses in her hand, and prepared to take a vacation for herself when she received the last order, and go back to spend time with her parents, and arrange the next things by the way.

In the end, the boss was a female, young, and considered a half-newcomer.

The reason why she was chosen as the ending was because Shen Maomao saw the shadow of her former self from her.

The girl's forum is called Ding Dong, she is a rich lady, and she entered this forum just two days later.

Shen Maomao bound the props with her, agreed on a date, and never talked to her again.

On the contrary, Ding Dong admired the great god "Xiaolou", and sent her more than a dozen messages in a row, but she didn't read any of them, and didn't reply to any of them.

On the appointed day, Shen Maomao put Pu Ke in the prop rack, and when he closed and opened his eyes, he was no longer in the apartment.

She is in front of an asphalt road, there are no cars on the road, only two pedestrians walking forward like her, most likely players.

There was a school at the end of the road, and there were four golden characters of "No. [-] Primary School" hanging on the school gate. It looked familiar, but she couldn't remember seeing it there for a while.

The door is locked, and the situation inside can be seen from the gap in the fence—there is no one on the plastic playground, and no sound can be heard from the outside, maybe because there are not enough people, the game has not officially started .

Shen Maomao stood leaning against the wall, watching the later players recognize each other and squeeze out newcomers, like an indifferent bystander, without any reaction.

In fact, she hasn't changed, but now she's too tired and can't muster any energy to help others, because she's done everything she can just to keep herself alive.

She waited at the door for a while, and a beautiful girl came from a distance, she looked like Ding Dong, but the real person was a hundred times more beautiful than the photos she gave.

Shen Maomao didn't care about this, but walked to her side consciously.

Seeing her coming, Ding Dong asked, "Are you Xiaolou?"

Shen Maomao nodded: "Yes."

Dingdang said: "Please take care of me in the next few days!"

Shen Maomao said "um" again, then stood beside her, and stopped talking.

Ding Dong looked at her with wide eyes, and leaned over to talk to her in a low voice.

Shen Maomao took a step back and distanced herself from her: "Speak frankly, I don't like people getting too close to me."

Ding Dong: "I'm afraid that others will eavesdrop!"

Shen Maomao glanced at the other three players, making sure that they were a little far away from him and Ding Dong, and said straight away: "Say."

"You are so cold..." Ding Dang muttered, then lowered his head and asked her quietly, "Have you adjusted the pinching face up?"

Shen Maomao didn't even have the desire to answer this question, so he simply said: "Don't ask me if it's not about games, it's meaningless."

Ding Dong shrugged, making sure that she didn't seem to be easy to get along with, so he obediently stood beside her and didn't speak.

After a while, all the players arrived. There were only nine players in this game, and there were two newcomers, both of whom were men. They were standing alone at the side at this moment, watching the old players talking in a daze.

A few seconds after everyone had arrived, a woman ran out from the teaching building behind the railing.The woman was in her 40s, wearing a short dark cheongsam, and her makeup was a bit heavy. She smiled and opened the door for the player, and said at the same time, "Are you the new teachers? Please come in, let's go first." Rest in the office for a while, and then I will take you to the dormitory."

Shen Maomao stared at her face for two more seconds, Ding Dong behind him found out, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

She looked away and said, "Nothing."

A few walked along the stone road in front of the teaching building, and finally walked into an office.

The woman said: "I am the teaching director of a small school. My surname is Liu, the willow of the willow tree."

Ding Dong immediately said sweetly: "Hello Director Liu~"

Director Liu nodded to her with a smile, and then said: "You are all self-recruited teachers in our school. There is a one-week observation period, and there may only be two to four people left by then, so you must behave well during this week. , strive to stay - our school has a good salary."

After she finished speaking, she began to assign jobs to the players. Shen Maomao was assigned a Chinese teacher, Ding Dong was assigned a music teacher, and the two male newbies taught physical education and mathematics, and there was also a Chinese teacher. Two English teachers and one art teacher.

The dungeon should have investigated the player's ability in advance. The art teacher and Ding Dong were not dissatisfied with the assignment, and they probably learned the relevant knowledge in reality.

After assigning work, Director Liu showed them around the campus again, and finally led them to the school's dormitory—a two-story gray building behind the teaching building.

Maybe the money was used to renovate the teaching building, so the conditions in the staff dormitory building were not very good. Director Liu used the key to unlock the rusty lock and led them into the hall.

The roof of the hall was full of cobwebs, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground. It was clearly noon, but it was as cold as night.As a matter of course, there is no one in there, and they even produce echoes when they walk, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

Director Liu looked a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry... because the teachers' homes in the school are all nearby, so we haven't lived in this staff dormitory for a long time. You may have to clean the room by yourself. I'll wait outside for a while. I'm sorry to call the cleaners."

The only male player other than the two rookies said: "It's okay, how do we divide the dormitories?"

Director Liu said: "It is estimated that there will be a room for two people, but there is a male teacher who may need to live in a single room, and there is one more male teacher."

Ding Dong immediately took a step closer to Shen Maomao: "We are friends! Can we live in one room?"

Director Liu took out a bunch of keys: "It's up to you, the first five rooms are free, and you can allocate them yourself. This is the key. Whoever holds it, I will call someone to clean it up."

Ding Dong reached out to pick it up: "Then thank you, Director Liu."

Director Liu smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "The little girl is very polite."

Ding Dong smiled shyly.

Director Liu took the mobile phone and walked away, lighting on the mobile phone while walking, and then put the phone to his ear.

Ding Dong turned around and asked Shen Maomao: "Where do we live? Do you have any ideas?"

Shen Maomao took a look at the so-called five rooms, the doors of the five rooms were all rusty, they looked a little old, and there was no difference at all in terms of appearance, so he said, "Whatever."

Ding Dong tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then said, "Then let's live in number two! I like this number quite a lot."

Without any objection, Shen Maomao removed the key to room two from her hand and got up to open the door.

A woman said: "Wait a minute, we'd better discuss it again? How can you, Su Hong, do whatever you want?"

Ding Dang smiled: "If you got it, would you choose first? We are all adults, so we don't expect fairness like children?" After speaking, he threw the remaining keys into her arms. He turned around and entered the room with Shen Maomao, and locked the door behind him after entering, preventing other people from prying.

Shen Maomao was standing in the open space in front of the two beds and looking at this small room of more than ten square meters - there were very few things in it. There were two beds, a large table, and two chairs under a gray old-fashioned wooden window. , Next to the bed are two moldy wooden wardrobes, which can only be described as "dirty and broken".

Ding Dong came out from behind her and said, "Boss? Did you find anything?"

Shen Maomao turned his head to look at her, and suddenly stretched out his hand.

Ding Dong dodged back reflexively, only to see Shen Maomao's hand land on her left shoulder, and then wipe it on it.

Shen Maomao withdrew his hand, gently pinched it with his thumb and index finger, and then separated them. A long, translucent thread was drawn between the two fingers.

"Hiss—" Ding Dong took a deep breath, and immediately took off his coat, "What the hell! It's disgusting!"

Shen Maomao said: "It's Director Liu."

Ding Dong recalled the way the woman patted himself on the shoulder just now, and said in surprise: "Boss, you are so amazing! You can even find out what's wrong!"

Shen Maomao politely hooked the corners of her mouth, trying to smile back at her, but she failed, so she didn't smile at all, and just reminded: "Not all npcs are from the player's side."

Ding Dang said: "Is that so? I haven't lived much... I thought all NPCs were good people."

"Well." Shen Maomao asked, "Where do you sleep?"

Ding Dong looked around: "It's so broken, it doesn't seem to matter where you sleep, right? This is not a staff dormitory... It's a dangerous building. If there are relevant departments in this world, I must complain about their school! This is simply not good. Take employees' lives seriously."

There was the sound of people walking outside the room during the conversation, and then someone knocked on the door opposite and shouted outside the door: "The cleaner is here, if you need any tools, ask them for it, it's nine o'clock in the morning , You should pack your things by yourself first, or visit the campus environment, and go to the office just now to find me after two o’clock, no need to come out, I will notify others.”

The person at the door answered, and then the footsteps stopped in front of their door. Before Director Liu could say anything, Ding Dong replied, "We heard Director Liu! You can go to the next household!"

Director Liu smiled and said, "Okay, then you guys are busy first."

After the notifications were completed, the sound of high heels became farther and farther away. Standing in front of the table, Shen Maomao saw the blurred shadow of her leaving from the window.She didn't know if it was because the windows were too dirty, but she seemed to see a blurry black shadow from Director Liu's body.

……

The whole noon passed in a busy way. Ding Dong looked at the eldest lady who was a lovely wife, but she was not lazy in her work. After packing her own things, she took the initiative to borrow the cleaner's mop to mop the floor.

After finishing his work, Shen Maomao left the room and took Ding Dong to the washing place and bathroom to have a look.

The cleaners are still busy. They cleaned the corridor and the ceiling between the first three rooms on the first floor, but they don't care about it further inside. They are now cleaning the washroom and toilet.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, the environment in these two places can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad. It is similar to the one in the copy of Jiangcheng University that she experienced before, and Shen Maomao accepted it well.

Ding Dang had a bit of disgust on his face, but he held back and didn't say anything. He just urged Shen Maomao: "Then big brother... shall we wait for others?"

Shen Maomao said: "It's not necessary." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out, ready to go to the teaching building and the playground to have a look, maybe he would gain something.

Ding Dong glanced back at the mirror, and quickly followed her.

……

In the afternoon, several players met in front of Director Liu's office.

Except for the two of them, the other female players obviously hugged each other, but the three male players stood apart without any communication with each other.It seems that the old player has no interest in bringing newcomers.

Seeing the two of them coming, the woman who had a small dispute with Ding Dong before asked, "What are you doing? Why aren't you with us?"

Ding Dong said: "Hey? Do you want to go together? Then do you want to hold hands with me?"

Woman: "..." She was very angry, but she didn't know what words to refute.

In the end, another woman next to her said: "Okay, since you want to act alone, you can act alone, but I hope we can share the information we have collected with each other so that we can get out of the game faster."

Ding Dong nodded: "Okay, if I find anything, I will definitely tell you."

Several people waited at the door for more than half an hour before Director Liu came late. He smiled and apologized to the several people, and then opened the doors to let them in.

"School will start tomorrow. There is a shortage of teachers in the second grade. You can go to the second grade to try the lecture first. I have textbooks here. You can take them back to study and write a lesson plan. On the first day of school, you can get to know each other first. Take a moment, so don’t worry too much, you can finish it before class the next day.” After several people sat down on the sofa, Director Liu said, “We have four classes in one grade, and the Chinese, Mathematics and English teachers are in charge of two classes. There are few sports, art and music classes, so four classes are taken together, whether you can stay or not depends on how satisfied the students are with you."

Everyone agrees.

Director Liu said again: "The dormitory has only cleaned up the place where you live. There are wires inside. You have to add other daily necessities yourself. But there is a store at the door, so you don't have to go too far."

She talked a lot, and finally got to the point: "By the way, don't go up to the second floor. It's quite messy, with debris piled up all over the floor. When I have time, I'll ask someone to go up there." Clean it up."
