The Earth is Online - Chapter 182

[Chapter 182]

The weak sunlight shines into the house through the blue glass curtain wall, and is reflected on the floor beside the bed.

After Tang Mo finished saying these words, there was a brief silence between the two. Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo, Fu Wenduo looked at him and slowly narrowed his eyes.

“……unimportant?”

Tang Mo understood what the other party meant, and raised the corners of his lips and asked, “Is it more important than Eve’s reward?”

boom!

Fu Wenduo suddenly pressed one hand against the wall and surrounded the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed under him.

The incident happened suddenly seven days ago, and Fu Wenduo found an office building to settle down the unconscious Tang Mo. The place where they are now is a small bedroom inside the office, the space is relatively narrow, and it is very secluded. The bed was only one meter two, and it was close to the wall, making it easier for Fu Wenduo to suddenly slam on the wall.

The distance between the two narrowed sharply.

Looking at each other quietly for a moment, Fu Wenduo suddenly said, “When did you know my birthday?”

Tang Mo: “…”

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows: “Last December, in Grandma Wolf’s Monster Valley, your secret is that there is someone you have a crush on for a long time. His birthday is September 9th. So you will know that your lucky number is 9. But I never divulge personal information online, including birthdays.”

Tang Mo’s expression was calm. He maintained the posture of being surrounded by the other side between the wall and his chest. He simply leaned back, leaned against the wall, and said lightly, “Who said it was you?”

Fu Wenduo rarely showed a surprised expression: “It’s not me?”

Tang Mo curled the corners of his mouth: “I didn’t say it wasn’t you.”

Fu Wenduo: “…”

Tang Mo: “You’re nervous, Fu Wenduo. In normal times, you can see at a glance that I’m joking, and you won’t ask what I said just now. But anyway, it’s you who secretly fell in love with me first… …well, last February?”

In February last year, before the black tower came, Tang Mo and Victor had known each other for half a year, and the two often teamed up to play cards online.

Tang Mo doesn’t like meeting netizens, nor does he like to disclose his information on the Internet, and never participates in offline bridge competitions. Victor is more mysterious than him, not even revealing his age.

I can’t go to the offline bridge competition where the masters gather. In February, someone in the circle organized an online bridge competition. It happened that Victor was often online during that time, and the two signed up. But didn’t make it to the finals. The night before the semifinals, Victor suddenly left a message to Tang Mo on Q|Q, telling him that he would not be able to come the next day.

Tang Mo didn’t think too much about it, he knew that Victor was always busy with work. Thinking about it now, Fu Wenduo may have suddenly had a mission at that time.

But when Tang Mo came home from get off work and saw the message when he opened QQ, he was more surprised than disappointed.

[Victor: I have something to do tomorrow, I can’t come, sorry. 】

five minutes later.

[Victor: Going to Suzhou on a business trip next week, do you want to meet? 】

Tang Mo did not immediately agree.

At that time, he had a bit of a crush on Victor, but he didn’t say he liked it. Victor is like a cup of cold coffee, the aroma is not strong enough, he really wants to taste it, really feel the mellowness hidden in the cold temperature, but does not want to break his habit of never seeing netizens.

What’s more… what if you see the light and die?

After hesitating for a few days, seeing that Victor was online again, Tang Mo thought about it again and again, and replied: [If it is convenient for you, yes. 】

Victor was silent for a long time, and replied: [Sorry, temporarily changed the itinerary, can’t go. 】

Tang Mo was stunned for a long time before replying: [Okay. 】

This feeling suddenly became strange.

He was mentally prepared to see Victor, but the other party refused. Tang Mo didn’t know when he really had a crush on Victor, but this was definitely a turning point. Before that, his feeling for Victor was more about that kind of tacit understanding that didn’t require words. The powerful and decisive Victor attracts him, the gravitational force is strong, but it is not a black hole.

Since then, he has cared more about the other party, and that kind of affection has gradually turned into that as long as the other party proposes to meet, he will never hesitate again.

Tang Mo leaned against the wall, smiled and analyzed: “With your character and identity, if you didn’t really want to meet, you would never meet a netizen. So… last February?”

This young man is too smart.

But this kind of intelligence and sharpness is what Fu Wenduo likes most. He avoided talking about Tang Mo’s question, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then said, “…October last year?”

Tang Mo’s body froze.

Fu Wenduo raised the corners of his lips, he knew he had guessed correctly.

In October 2016, Mo Tang and Victor had only known each other for three months. They met at an online bridge game. At that time, the two were not teammates, but opponents. Fu Wenduo was at Tang Mo’s house. Even though he was an opponent, Tang Mo noticed that the person in the seat next to him was completely in line with his own pace, and that every idea and strategy of playing cards had a mysterious fit with him.

Tang Mo lost that game, and his teammates were so bad that they couldn’t help them, so they lost simply. At the end of the game, Tang Mo added Fu Wenduo as a friend. On the bridge platform they play, when adding friends, the system will automatically send each other a greeting. Before Tang Mo’s greeting was sent, his message bar lit up.

[Victor: Your cards are too good, let’s be friends. 】

[Mantang: Your cards are too good, let’s make friends. 】

The two spoke only a second apart.

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pronounced the name: “Victor…”

After chatting for a few words, I added Q|Q friends, and then it was half a year of playing cards together as a team.

In October, they matched a couple with a very interesting ID. One’s name is “Fang Chang in Japan” and the other is “My name is Fang Chang”. These two have funny names, but their playing skills are not bad. The four of them fought for five minutes. Seeing that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were about to win, Fangchang said in a hurry: [Today is my girlfriend’s birthday, two big brothers, save face, bbu. 】

This was the first time Tang Mo encountered such a situation, and he hit six points.

Victor asked: [What does bbu mean? 】

[Coming to Japan for a long time: Ball ball you. We were very unlucky today, we met all great gods, and we even knelt ten times. Give some face to the boss, my girlfriend said that if she doesn’t win a game, she will never sleep. 】

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t have much interest in winning or not, they only cared about the process of playing cards, so the two of them just pressed Exit.

While chatting privately, Tang Mo suddenly said: [The sky is big, the biggest birthday? 】

[Victor: When is your birthday? 】

Tang Mo didn’t expect him to say this: [No, it’s still early. 】 After thinking about it, he asked: 【How about you? 】

[Victor: It’s still early. 】

This is the only time they talked about the two’s birthdays, and the acquaintance was still short, and neither of them disclosed their birthdays. But since then, Tang Mo has subconsciously remembered this matter. He carefully noticed Fu Wenduo’s sentence, “It’s still early.”

Well, this word is very special.

Later, Tang Mo speculated on Fu Wenduo’s birthday, and he understood what he meant by “it’s okay”: his birthday just passed, so it’s “it’s too early”.

It’s hard to say who has a crush on who first. Tang Mo knew that his heart was moved very early, maybe the first time he met, he had a feeling of “this person is special” to Victor. However, to say he liked it, he couldn’t tell a specific time. If it was Fu Wenduo, it would probably be the same.

but……

Tang Mo didn’t change his face: “You have a crush on me first.”

There is time to prove it. In February 2017, as far as Fu Wenduo’s character and his identity were concerned, if he didn’t like himself, could he come to see netizens?

Fu Wenduo said, “You have a crush on me first.”

There is also time to prove it. In October of 2016, if it wasn’t for a good impression, why did Tang Mo pay attention to a netizen’s birthday, and did everything possible to guess the specific time without saying it?

Don’t make steamed buns to fight for breath, Tang Mo has not eaten steamed buns for a long time, but he really wants to fight for this breath. Just like that night after Fu Wenduo said that, Tang Mo quickly understood that the man in front of him liked him, but he was a little surprised when this man fell in love with him. Did he like Tang Mo or grinding sugar? or both.

Fu Wenduo lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on Tang Mo’s face. Tang Mo did not show weakness and looked at him calmly.

After a long time, when footsteps were heard near the stairs, Tang Mo smiled and said, “You are not childish.”

Fu Wenduo retracted his hand on the wall and did not answer this sentence, but responded with his eyes: Are you not as naive?

Tang Mo admits that in some ways, Mo Tang and Victor have always been very naive.

The footsteps were getting closer, Fu Wensheng pushed open the door and said in surprise, “Hey, Brother Tang, are you awake?”

Chen Shanshan walked into the room: “Brother Tang Mo woke up, how is it, is there any discomfort?”

Tang Mo got up from the bed, walked around the room twice, and moved his body. “No problem, just a little hungry after a few days without food. Fu Wenduo said that I fainted for seven days. What happened during these seven days?”

Chen Shanshan took out a bag of compressed biscuits from her bag: “A lot of things. Didn’t Major Fu tell you?” The little girl helped Tang Mo find a reason: “You just woke up?”

Tang Mo’s ripping open the biscuit bag paused for a moment, and he nodded in agreement.

Fu Wensheng: “Brother Tang, what exactly is Eve’s reward, tell us quickly!”

Tang Mo ate two biscuits, and after the hunger in his stomach eased, he put the biscuits back into his bag. He looked at Chen Shanshan seriously, with a solemn expression: “This matter needs to be analyzed by Shanshan. First of all… I didn’t get any substantial reward.”

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Shanshan reacted quickly: “Well, there are definitely no rewards such as props. You were knocked out by a red apple. Major Fu brought the apple over at that time, but after we inspected it, we found that this apple and Ning It’s the same one. It’s called ‘Eve’s Reward’, it doesn’t have any special function, it just represents Eve’s reward.” The short-haired girl took out a red apple from her bag and handed it to Tang Mo, “It can be said that this apple is Like a symbol, it represents Eve’s reward, but has nothing to do with Eve’s reward.”

Tang Mo nodded: “Ning Zheng and Xu Yunsheng both have this apple, and all the returnees in the world also have a red apple. But as long as they don’t open it, it’s just an apple.”

Chen Shanshan: “Well, that’s what it means. So there is no real reward. When you were in a coma, I discussed with Major Fu and whispered, and we agreed that… Eve’s reward may be related to the truth about the arrival of the Black Tower.”

The voice fell, and the little girl looked at Tang Mo with expectant eyes.

But she was destined to be disappointed.

Tang Mo sighed: “This is the second point I want to say. I was in a coma for seven days, but in my perception, it was only a moment. I had a dream that seemed to be very long and seemed to be very short, and I forgot all about it when I woke up. Jing, I have no memory of what happened in the dream. I know what you are discussing, I can hear your voice when I am in a coma, and the touch of the voice still exists.”

Fu Wenduo was standing with his arms folded and listening indifferently, when suddenly he heard this, his eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Tang Mo and his fingers.

Fu Wenduo: “…”
