MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 22

Tao Zhiyue walked for an hour before returning home.

He hadn't eaten dinner, and his stomach was empty, but he didn't feel hungry.

Everything was as usual in the deserted one-bedroom, and Tao Zhiyue saw the Cupid, the **** of love, pasted on the dining table at a glance.

At that time, Tao Zhiyue had just resigned from the previous company, and he felt very uncomfortable having to leave, so he prayed every day that Huo Ran and Shen Nian would meet and fall in love early, so that he could be free as soon as possible.

One day, on a whim, he printed a portrait of Cupid and pasted it on the wall to show his sincerity.

This kind of behavior sounded silly, but Tao Zhiyue thought it was fun at the time, it was a rare joy in his ordinary life.

But now seeing this chubby little cupid, Tao Zhi felt more and more bored for no reason.

In the original book, Huo Ran and Shen Nian lived happily, and this kind of happiness makes him miserable now that he is one-sided and broken in love.

If he falls in love with Huo Ran according to the plot, he will encounter a car accident; try to get out of the plot for the first time, and then meet a completely straight man.

Tao Zhiyu felt that his second life was very bitter.

Sighing, Tao Zhiyue walked to the dining table and took off the Cupid portrait.

He wanted to crumple the smiling little cupid into a ball and throw it into the trash can, but he hesitated for a while, but couldn't do it.

Tao Zhiyue folded the slightly yellowed A4 paper, took out the loratadine in the backpack, put them away together, and put them in the cabinet at the top of the bookshelf.

Just as a souvenir.

When walking all the way back, Tao Zhiyue's brain was empty, his thoughts were wandering, and he didn't pay attention to the movement of his mobile phone.

Now take it out and take a look, the screen is full of unread messages from HR.

[HR: Dr. Tao, I went back to look for him just now, but he seemed to have gone far away, and I couldn't find him. ]

[HR: At that moment, I felt very lost. For me, this is a very special feeling. ]

[HR: I wanted to ask Dr. Tao before. I have a colleague who always blush when he sees me. Although he never said anything clearly, I still don’t know how to get along with him. ]

[HR: Just now I thought about it carefully, it must be what Dr. Tao described as liking. ]

[HR: No matter what the other party does, it attracts me deeply, and I want to keep looking at him, and my face gets hot. ]

[HR: But when I look at him, all I can imagine in my mind is the friend I haven't met. ]

[HR: I think, what I like should be that friend. ]

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, HR asked carefully.

[HR: Is Doctor Tao working overtime? Did I disturb you, sorry. ]

The last message stays here.

["HR" pats me. ]

Tao Zhiyue was a little bit astonished, he didn't expect HR's mental journey to be so similar to his.

There are many people on the Internet who mix him and her, and Tao Zhiyue has long been convinced that HR is a straight man, so he didn't pay attention to the word "he" on the screen at this time.

No matter who HR likes, he promised to help HR solve emotional problems before, so at least help him get rid of the pursuit of the other three **** guys.

In this way, HR's life can be back on track, and Tao Zhiyue has no reason to keep in touch with him.

They were originally two parallel lines that accidentally intersected. After the tide receded, they should return to their own lives.

Tao Zhi made up his mind, he would distance himself from HR without any trace, and stop being too close as he was a few days ago, so as not to invest more emotion in himself.

[Tao: I just got home. ]

[Tao: Then ask your friends out to meet. Before that, do you want to get rid of those people around you? ]

[Tao: Otherwise it may cause unnecessary misunderstanding. ]

[I tap "HR". ]

HR responded quickly.

[HR: Dr. Tao is right, I should deal with my emotional problems before pursuing others. ]

[HR: Besides, my friend seems to have someone he likes. ]

[Tao: If the other party has not formally entered into a relationship, you still have a chance^-^]

At this point in the conversation, HR seemed to think for a while before sending an endless message.

[HR: Does Dr. Tao have a boyfriend now? ]

Tao Zhi was shocked, these three words were so unfamiliar to him that when he heard them from others, he was almost a little embarrassed.

[pottery:…]

[Tao: No _(:з"∠)_]

[Tao: Wrap my little quilt tightly.jpg]

[HR:＿(:з"∠)＿]

[HR: What does this expression mean? ]

[Tao: It’s just a lying villain, um… It’s used in many ways, and it’s hard to explain. It can probably be understood as a kind of helplessness here. ]

[HR: Oh! ]

[HR: Then I don’t have ＿(:з”∠)＿]

Tao Zhiyue couldn't help laughing, the original subtle atmosphere was diluted by the weird conversation, he didn't think deeply about the word "also" in HR's words.

[Tao: Regarding your blushing colleague, do you need my help? ]

[HR: It shouldn’t be necessary, I’ve already told him that I already have someone I like. ]

[HR: I think he will slowly change his attitude towards me. ]

Tao Zhiyue felt that he had been hit by an arrow again, and a sour feeling quietly spread in his heart, but he still had to reply calmly.

[Tao: I will definitely ^-^]

In fact, he couldn't smile at all.

Tao Zhiyu sighed silently, feeling that he could no longer chat with HR, and the more he talked, the more heartbroken he began to think about what excuses he could use to end the conversation.

Tao: I'm going to browse the forum, wave.

Tao: I'll take a shower first, and we'll talk tomorrow.

Tao: I'm going to sleep, come find me if you need anything~

…

The text in the dialog box was deleted and deleted again, no matter how abrupt it looked, Tao Zhi covered his face depressedly.

In the narrow field of vision exposed between the fingers, HR's preemptive reply jumped out.

[HR: Doctor Tao, are you free for the game? ]

[HR: I want to move the island, is there any vacant area near Dr. Tao's island? ]

Tao Zhi let go of his hand, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

After a while, Tao Zhiyue, who was in a daze, boarded the Animal Island and sent the coordinates to the only friend on the list.

Amidst the soothing and melodious music of the game, a prompt pops up on Tao Zhiyue's game interface.

[Dear island owner, good evening, an unexpected fate has come! A brown bear wants to relocate near your island, do you welcome this guest from afar? ]

Tao Zhiyue clicked welcome, and then amidst the fireworks that bloomed all over the screen, a lush island slowly floated towards his position.

On a night when the moon hangs high, the island is full of gorgeous lights, reflecting the green trees and huts. A big brown bear stands at the forefront, waving excitedly towards his small island.

Tao Zhiyue looked at the nickname on the top of the brown bear's head, and his heart beat faster. He remembered that HR used to call him Papa Koala.

[A hedgehog: Why did you change your name? ]

[A brown bear: This is more solemn^-^]
