Reheat the game

Crossing the finish line was just a blink of an eye. The three of them maintained the posture after they crossed, standing motionless, calming down their heartbeats that were about to explode, and quietly waiting for the next punishment.

After a while, Xiang Ming finally couldn't help it, and in front of Su Si, who had mocked them not long ago, stretched out his hand to pull Ruan Zemiao into his arms.

Ruan Zemiao stayed for a while and began to struggle.

Xiang Ming thought that Ruan Zemiao was embarrassed, so he added some strength to his hands, but then Ruan Zemiao struggled harder, until Xiang Ming couldn't control it, he finally released Ruan Zemiao from his arms.

Ruan Zemiao looked up and met Shang Xiangming's puzzled and hurt eyes. He rubbed his nose and said, "It's all the smell of sweat."

Xiang Ming: "..."

Suth: "Pfft."

But the current time is so precious to them that they can't wait to break it in half for a minute. Ruan Zemiao quietly approached Xiang Ming again, holding Xiang Ming's hand with nostalgia.

Xiang Ming didn't have time to get angry, he opened his fingers cooperatively, and the two turned to clasp their fingers.

Just stay like this for a while, even for a second, it's what they earn.

A few minutes passed without any change, and the three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts.

But no one spoke.

After waiting for a while, they heard 0141 say: "Everyone, please go back to the starting point again."

Looking back, I found that the game runway has returned to the way it was at the beginning.

"The one just now doesn't count?" Ruan Zemiao asked, he also knew that 0141's words meant that he was going to do it all over again, and he wanted to know the reason for asking this sentence.

"Yes." 0141 said, "It violated the rules of the game."

"Where is it violated?" Suth said angrily, "Don't you remember that a similar incident happened in a round of the game?"

"Which round is it?" 0141 asked politely.

"In the fourth round, Ai Wen and Tian Jiashu." Xiang Ming Gang 0141 recalled.

"These two scenarios... don't seem to be the same." 0141 said.

"Oh?"

"Did you misunderstand what I explained before?" 0141 asked a rhetorical question before saying, "In the fourth round, there were winners."

In addition to Ai Wen and Tian Jiashu, He Dongsheng, Su Si, Xiang Ming, and Ruan Zemiao successfully passed the game.

The three of them were silent, and they already understood the meaning of 0141.

In the silence, they heard 0141 conclude: "The purpose of the game is to send the final winner back to the community, and anything that makes the purpose of the game unreachable is a violation of the rules."

Ruan Zemiao and Xiang Ming's hands were loosened at some point, their auras were very low, like balloons that had been pumped out of hydrogen, like pages of a book soaked in water, drained of strength, blurred thoughts.

Su Si chuckled, the plan failed, what a normal thing.

"How do you deal with breaking the rules?" she asked.

Suth started talking nonsense too?

Ruan Zemiao turned her head, but saw that although Su Si also lowered his head slightly, his eyes were clear and shrewd.

0141 replied smoothly: "Let's do it all over again, just like what you are about to do, play this round of the game again."

The arc of Susi's mouth still did not fall, at least this proved her idea, I am afraid not just this round, it should be said that this game can be played again.

"Start again." She chewed the word softly.

"Then let's do it again." Su Si turned up the volume and said to Xiang Ming and Ruan Zemiao.

Unconsciously, Xiang Ming and Ruan Zemiao followed Su Si to the starting point.

It was only when they realized that the scene in front of them overlapped with not long ago did they come back to their senses. They had to admit that they didn't know what to do.

"If Lai doesn't leave here..." Ruan Zemiao thought about the consequences, shook his head and vetoed his naive idea, and said, "I think they will do the 'random selection' again."

"They won't draw randomly this time." Xiang Ming also regained consciousness and said, "You have to move forward from the beginning of the next game."

"Ah." Ruan Zemiao glanced back at the still normal wall, feeling a little headache, his agility is really not good.

It's so bad that even if you play video games, you don't dare to choose the assassin and stealth professions.

Naturally, Xiang Ming knew him. He pinched Ruan Zemiao's chin with two fingers and forced Ruan Zemiao's face to face him. He frowned and said solemnly: "Be serious later, concentrate, listen Reached?"

It was very similar to the way Ruan Zemiao told her the night before the final exam.

So Ruan Zemiao couldn't care less about thinking about Xiang Ming's provocative gesture, and replied reflexively, "Well, okay, I see."

But what Xiang Ming knows better is that Ruan Zemiao's "promise" is usually worthless.

You say your truth, I make my mistakes, there is no contradiction.

He sighed and said, "What's next? Is it up to each other?"

The eyes are looking forward, but the words are for Su Si.

Suth was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Yeah, it depends on who is the stupidest."

"It's clumsiness." Ruan Zemiao, who even had a premonition that he was the one who explained this round, corrected him, trying to save the last trace of his dignity.

Su Si smiled and did not refute.

Xiang Ming ignored the conversation between the two, and what made him puzzled was what Su Si was thinking in those few seconds of silence.

"Games start!"

The moment the voice fell, Ruan Zemiao ran two meters away.

Xiang Ming walked forward slowly while avoiding and found that Ruan Zemiao's doing that was not a long-term solution.

"If you go on like this, you will still need to avoid obstacles." Xiang Ming was distracted and pushed a stagger, looked at Ruan Zemiao who was always in front of him, and said helplessly.

Hearing Xiang Ming's voice, Ruan Zemiao turned around and stood still, just in time to see Xiang Ming being pushed.

There was sympathy in his eyes.

"You can't do it step by step." Ruan Zemiao said.

Xiang Ming: "..."

He took two steps forward to settle down to talk to Ruan Zemiao, and saw Ruan Zemiao raised his chin in the direction of Su Si, and said: "I think Su Si is also like this, let's save energy, after all, there is still a certain distance ahead , don’t even have the strength to dodge in the end.”

Xiang Ming looked in the direction indicated by Ruan Zemiao——

The hand that was still on the waist was unconsciously put down, and the whole body was stretched straight.

Ruan Zemiao was also puzzled when he saw Xiang Ming like this, and followed Xiang Ming's gaze——

Suth she... what is she running?

Before Ruan Zemiao understood, Xiang Ming spoke out in a hurry.

"Suss!"

Seeing that Su Si was about to run to the finish line, he finally stopped when he heard the sound.

She was not in a hurry, turned around and tilted her head to look in the direction of Xiang Ming and Ruan Zemiao, raised the instep of one foot, and slowly drew a semicircle on the ground, looking like she was doing nothing.

Xiang Ming stepped forward.

Ruan Zemiao, who was belatedly aware of it, also ran forward.

"Don't you want to compete?" Xiang Ming asked.

Su Si nodded indifferently and said, "Yes."

"Then what are you doing now?" Xiang Ming continued to press.

On the contrary, Ruan Zemiao was a little worried that Su Si would be stimulated by Xiang Ming's tone.

However, his worries are completely superfluous for Suth.

Suth blinked and said, "Can't you see it?"

Xiang Ming didn't speak, Ruan Zemiao swallowed, feeling that the atmosphere was not right.

If Suth admits defeat directly...

It's not really a bad thing, is it?

Although the next situation was that he and Xiang Ming would confront each other, at least the couple who had just reconciled didn't have to say goodbye so quickly, and the extra day or so was enough for the two of them to say a hasty farewell.

But why after discovering that Suth had the idea of ​​giving up, why was the first thought to stop it?

Is human nature really so good?

Ruan Zemiao didn't believe it, and didn't understand.

Not only him, but even Xiang Ming, who is much more sensible than him, did this.

No, Ruan Zemiao retorted to himself in his heart, it was normal for Xiang Ming to do this. In the past, Xiang Ming was so rational and sober, but he practiced his own justice foolishly. He was clearly shrewd enough to count all the organs The brain is still inexplicably honest and obeys the rules. It clearly hates social relations and is indifferent to interpersonal communication, but it still carefully wipes its innocent heart in the dark.

He is a person who can do evil things without a trace, but he is always malicious.

This is what makes his heart beat, where Xiang Ming shines.

Although the two have been separated for so long, Ruan Zemiao believes that Xiang Ming has not changed at least on this point.

Thinking of this, Ruan Zemiao was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists again.

He has to believe, since he decided to get back together, he must believe.

Not all good stories start with trust, but mistrust is the root of absolutely all emotional destruction.

Suddenly, Ruan Zemiao heard Su Si speak again.

"I don't want to play anymore, it's none of your business."

Then he understood.

It is true that he and Xiang Ming stopped Su Si because they were afraid that she would ruin their own life by doing something stupid, and they wanted to save her out of goodwill, and they didn't want Su Si to sacrifice.

But not everything has only one starting point.

He had to admit that whether it was him or Xiang Ming, the reason why Su Sisi wanted to give up the game was panicked...

Yes, it was panic when I stopped it with good intentions at the beginning, but now, there is only panic left in my heart.

Instead of panic, there is fear.

Two similar emotions, but with subtly different causes.

Panicked that Suth might die suddenly, feared that Suth's sacrifice this time was because of them.

When people are bestowed with kindness, they will also be put in shackles.

The shackles exchanged for their lives are too heavy for them to bear, so they reject and fear.

Su Sisi had understood this truth a long time ago, that's why she said the phrase "it's none of your business". This is not something that can be learned in school, but it was taught to her by her teacher at the end of her life.
