Chapter 334 Their Contrast
Chapter 334 Their Contrast
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Wen called Gu Xingruo.
The eldest lady said that she was playing games in the arcade in a shopping mall not far away.
Xu Wen asked her to wait there while he went to find her.
While walking on the road, Xu Wen's mind was filled with what happened today.
The password of Hongjing Industrial's elevator, what Li Qingyun just said to him, and whether all this was in Gu Hong's calculation.
He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth he wanted to know.
Even if Li Qingyun didn't say it, Xu Wen knew that it was very risky to cooperate with Gu Hong. After all, he had been cheated once in his previous life.
But it cannot be denied that with his help, he was able to quickly develop his career.
Xu Wen felt that his current life was like walking on thin ice and he could fall at any time.
How does the idiom go?
Walking on thin ice.
His life seemed to be always on thin ice. One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation. He had gotten used to it.
Xu Wen felt that he could definitely post a message on WeChat Moments right now.
"I've been walking on thin ice my whole life, do you think I can make it to the other side?"
Then add a handsome photo of yourself walking on the ice.
In this era, no one would call him "Brother Bo Bing", right?
The shopping mall where Gu Xingruo was located was not far from the restaurant, and Xu Wen arrived there in just a few steps.
He found an employee inside the mall to ask and learned that the video game arcade was on the second floor.
As he walked upstairs, he began to wonder what kind of game Gu Xingruo would play.
Is it a dance machine?
She is indeed a good fit, with her tall figure and long legs. When she stands on it, people who don't know her would think she is a deliberately hired agent in the video game arcade.
When Xu Wen found the video game arcade, he did not see Gu Xingruo on the dance machine at the door.
He stood at the neon-lit entrance and looked around. The colorful game consoles emitted electronic sounds one after another, and the sweet smell of popcorn floated in the air.
Several teenagers in school uniforms ran past him holding basketballs, bringing up a gust of hot wind.
He walked a few steps inside and saw Gu Xingruo playing tricks on some elementary school students.
The eldest lady's Chanel jacket was casually draped over the back of the chair, and her pearl earrings swayed back and forth as she pressed keys furiously.
The old-fashioned arcade screen in front of her glowed a yellowish light, the red anti-slip cover on the joystick had been worn white, and the metal buttons were covered with stains from years of accumulation.
"Sister, you've already lost several games, isn't it time to leave?" The boy in the puberty stage reached out to grab the joystick, but Gu Xingruo slapped his hand away.
At this moment, she was like a high school student skipping class, biting her lower lip with her fangs and staring at the screen.
Gu Xingruo pretended not to hear and put another game coin into the machine: "It was just a small mistake. I was just a little short of life. Let me try again. If you say that again, I won't give you any more coins to play!"
Her slender fingers tap-danced on the buttons, her knees wrapped in black stockings unconsciously pressed against the console: "Did you see that? This combo of Yasha's would be impossible if the joystick hadn't been stuck!"
Speaking of game coins, the boy indeed shrank his neck back.
He rubbed the game coins in his hand and finally said nothing more.
Xu Wen noticed that there were seven or eight empty Coke cans scattered around Gu Xingruo's feet, one of which was dented from being squeezed, obviously a victim of some moment of defeat.
The elementary school students watching the scene skillfully avoided the garbage on the ground, and a boy wearing glasses even took out a notebook to record his combos.
At this time, Gu Xingruo had already arrived at the player selection interface and continued to fight with the elementary school student sitting next to her.
The other party taunted, "Why did you choose Yagami? You don't know how to play."
Gu Xingruo snorted: "You know shit!"
The game the young lady was playing was the 97 version of King of Fighters, and there were many elementary school students around her.
Gu Xingruo was wearing a professional suit and looked very out of place sitting among the primary school students. She looked like a teacher to these students.
Her long legs were curled up beside the chair, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings.
Xu Wen has discovered that many men in the game hall are secretly glancing over here. After all, no man can resist such a beautiful view.
However, the elementary school students around Gu Xingruo completely ignored it.
Their eyes were fixed on the game screen.
It turns out that boys of this age are the purest.
Xu Wen never expected that Gu Xingruo would actually like this game.
He looked around.
Today's video game arcades are filled with all kinds of fancy machines.
Arcade games were divided into a small area, and in this area there was only one King of Fighters machine.
Later, arcade merchants preferred machines that cost four or five game coins to play a game.
Gradually, even this small area disappeared.
Arcade games are no longer available in many game halls.
Xu Wen did not disturb Gu Xingruo, but quietly walked behind her to observe the battle situation.
The young lady was concentrating, her hands tapping the machine quickly.
It seemed like she was very skilled at it, but in fact her combo was messed up, and she almost let the monkey kill three of the elementary school students on the opposite side.
Fortunately, when she only had one character left, she finally took down the monkey on the opposite side.
However, she only had half of her health left, and was quickly killed by Yashami who had just entered the game.
Xu Wen didn't know how many games Gu Xingruo had lost before he came, but he could clearly feel that her mentality was a little broken and her operations were starting to become distorted.
When Gu Xingruo was defeated again, she lay on the machine like a deflated ball, with her hair hanging down and covering half of her face.
Xu Wen saw the dense beads of sweat on the back of her neck, shining like pearls under the psychedelic lights of the game hall.
Those adult players who stole glances at her didn't know that this beautiful girl's nose was red with frustration because she lost to an elementary school student.
When the letters "KO" flashed on the screen, she completely collapsed on the game console.
The child standing behind her couldn't wait any longer: "Is it my turn now?"
Although Gu Xingruo was still unwilling to accept the defeat, she knew clearly that she could not win even if she continued to fight.
The kid who won next to her mocked her: "Go back and practice more, big sister."
Gu Xingruo also had her own reasons: "I haven't played for too long!"
After saying this, she planned to give up her seat.
The moment she turned around, she saw Xu Wen standing behind her with a smile on his face.
She was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that she had been delayed because of playing games.
What made her even more embarrassed was that she lost to an elementary school student!
It's so embarrassing!
When Gu Xingruo was about to say something to explain, Xu Wen took the initiative to step forward and said, "Little brother, wait a moment. Let me fight him first."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of game coins from the box in Gu Xingruo's hand and distributed them to others as a bribe.
"I haven't played for half a day!"
Free game coins are almost useless.
"It's okay, it will be your turn after I take him down." At the same time, you should also provide appropriate taunts.
Hearing Xu Wen's words, the child sitting there immediately became unhappy: "Isn't it the same as playing if I torture you?"
Primary school students also have their own rules, and they certainly won’t let this arrogant adult go.
"Have you played this game before?" Gu Xingruo asked worriedly. In her impression, Xu Wen has always been a thoroughly good student.
Why would a good student come to a place like a game hall?
"You two know each other!" the elementary school student next to him shouted loudly.
Someone immediately followed up, "I understand. That's what's written in the novels I read. If you beat the younger one, the older one will come. If you beat the older one, there will be even older ones!"
The elementary school students around also burst into laughter.
However, these laughs did not affect Xu Wen's mentality, and he had already entered the player selection interface.
He operated the joystick with one hand and comforted Gu Xingruo beside him with the other hand: "I've played with it for a while. I'm not that good at it, but I can definitely handle a kid."
The elementary school student next to him couldn't stand hearing such words. He even pressed harder on the keys: "Just wait to be tortured!"
Gu Xingruo was a little surprised. She never thought that Xu Wen had played games before.
This made her feel like she had discovered a new world.
She wanted to say something else, but both sides had already chosen their candidates. She didn't want to disturb Xu Wen, so she simply said "Come on".
Xu Wen had been watching from behind and knew that the child was very good at playing with the monkey.
So he chose Kagura, and the remaining two were Yagami and Kusakyo.
Xu Wen learned how to play King of Fighters 97 entirely because of his roommate in his previous life.
One of them played games in the dorm every day, and he even bought a joystick specifically for playing games.
It makes a crackling sound when playing, which is very disturbing to others.
But after he invited other roommates to play together and taught everyone how to play, no one said anything anymore.
In order to fit in, Xu Wen joined the game in addition to his part-time job.
Just like he said, although he is not a master, it is no problem for him to deal with an elementary school student.
The elementary school student next to me is at an age where he refuses to submit to anyone and has a strong desire to attack.
What Xu Wen needs to do is to find the flaw, take advantage of the opponent's stiffness in his attack, and use the opportunity to launch a combo.
After the battle began, Xu Wen's fingers drew smooth arcs on the joystick.
He remembered the small dormitory in his previous life, with the faces of several students reflected in front of the laptop computer.
At that time, they always studied combos and fighting methods together, which was one of the few times Xu Wen could relax.
Gu Xingruo was a little worried at first.
But when she saw Xu Wen's skillful combo, she was no longer worried.
Just now she was almost beaten three by one, but now she fought back.
Xu Wen used only one Kagura to directly penetrate three people, and the elementary school students sitting next to him were stunned.
Although she didn't win, Gu Xingruo was happier than if she had won.
She hugged Xu Wen and jumped up and down, and at the same time did not forget to mock the elementary school student who had just defeated her: "This is my true strength, I just let you do that!"
Xu Wen smiled and took her weight, letting the young lady hang on him like a koala.
He could feel the envious gazes of the male players around him, but he was more concerned about the slight itch when the ends of Gu Xingruo's hair brushed across his cheek.
"Bullshit, this is someone else's beating, what does it have to do with you!"
"If I say yes, it's true! You win if you dare!"
Xu Wen smiled helplessly.
Sometimes he looked at Gu Xingruo as if he was looking at a child who had not grown up.
Now he was competing with an elementary school student who was much younger than him.
"I didn't play well just now. I picked the characters randomly. If you dare, play another game with me!" Now it was the elementary school student's turn to cheat.
But there was no way Xu Wen would argue with a child.
He stood up from his chair and said, "You guys can play slowly. We still have things to do."
This is called a one-hit escape.
"I think you just don't dare!"
"That's right, you can tell he's scared at first glance."
This taunt had no effect on Xu Wen. After tidying up his clothes, he took Gu Xingruo's hand.
When the eldest lady saw that the person who had been torturing her was finally defeated, she was in a good mood and no longer worried about winning or losing.
She put the remaining game coins in her hand directly into the machine: "Here are the coins for you. Take your time to play."
The attention of the surrounding primary school students was instantly attracted by the handfuls of game coins, and they began to scramble for them. No one cared about Xu Wen anymore.
They also got away directly at this time.
When leaving and passing by the dance machine area, Xu Wen caught a glimpse of their reflections on the mirrored wall.
Gu Xingruo jumped and stepped on his shadow, her high heels making a squeaking sound on the anti-slip mat. The "career elite" just now now had her skirt flying, as if she was back in the midsummer of high school.
After leaving the arcade, Gu Xingruo asked hurriedly: "When will you play arcade games again? Why haven't I heard you say that?"
Of course Xu Wen couldn't tell her that he learned it from his roommate in his previous life.
I could only make up a lie: "What boy didn't like playing games when he was a kid? I also went to the arcade back then. I remember it was eight game coins for one dollar, right? We were always there in the same market."
Xu Wen had never been there, he just had some yearning for this place and would occasionally run in to watch others have fun.
Eight game coins for one dollar is much cheaper than in current game halls.
Arcade games cost one coin to play, and one dollar can last you a long time.
But at that time he couldn't even take out a dollar.
After hearing this, Gu Xingruo's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new world.
"I thought your daily routine was just studying, studying every day, studying day and night," she sighed.
Xu Wen chuckled: "I'm not a robot."
Gu Xingruo slapped her head and said, "It seems that I still don't know you well enough. We should get to know you better."
As she spoke, her hands began to move naughtily.
Xu Wen coughed lightly: "Outside."
Gu Xingruo showed a devilish smile, and she whispered in his ear: "Then I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait until we get home."
When she said the word "home", she emphasized it a little.
With Gu Hong's permission, the two of them can finally go back together openly.
Xu Wen did not refuse, as he had nothing to do today anyway.
Before leaving, Gu Xingruo said that she wanted to go to the supermarket first to buy some daily necessities.
Before, the two of them were afraid of being discovered by the nanny, so they used disposable items.
Although it turned out that they were trying to cover up their true intentions, the two still persisted for a while.
Now Gu Xingruo can finally openly display Xu Wen’s daily necessities at home.
This is more convenient.
When the two were about to walk to the supermarket, Xu Wen's phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Xiaqing called him and said there was a document that needed his signature.
"Wait a minute, I'll be back soon." Xu Wen replied.
When he was about to change the route, the other party continued: "It's okay, Qiu Sheng is here with me, you tell me a place and I'll ask her to send it to you."
