Chapter 8 First acquaintance
On the way here, Idong probably introduced the situation to Mo Tan. There were not many participants in this gathering, only five or six people, all the children of Idong’s parents and friends. The reason for initiating it was very strange. It seemed that those The older generation planned to have a get-together at Christmas, but they felt it was inconvenient to bring their children, so some parent suggested that the younger generation should get together as well. They happened to know each other, and finally this happened. A sudden gathering.
Mo Tan has met Yi Dong's parents several times. His gay friend A's father is a cool-looking handsome guy, or a handsome uncle, with a calm face and few words or expressions. .
Idong's mother is on the other extreme. Time has left almost no trace on her body. She looks like an energetic girl in her twenties. It is said that she studied in Japan for a period of time when she was young, and she is a bit arrogant. Phew, she is more like a little girl than a mother, and she is also an avid COSPLAY enthusiast!
Therefore, Mo Tan is still a little interested in the children of parents' friends who are very different from his friends.
Yi Dong gently opened the door twice, then pushed it open and entered with Mo Tan.
The image and looks of these two people are pretty good. Although Yidong does not have the nobility that is common in rich families, he looks very much like his father. He has a cool and handsome feeling. When he is not talking, he looks cool and is well-dressed. The suit set off his slender and well-proportioned figure, and his excellent upbringing and cultivation gave him a good temperament. He has had many suitors since middle school, and he can afford the word "rich, handsome".
Although Mo Tan is dressed in street clothes and is half a head shorter than Yi Dong, his innate neurotic temperament is also very good. He has a complex charm that is very contradictory, plus he has a little evil aura. The /upright/friendly (depending on the situation) eyes are not inferior to Yi Dong in terms of aura. If he hadn't deliberately controlled his social circle, there would probably be girls who would like him.
So when the two of them occasionally get together in school, other people present will always have the illusion that their sense of existence is greatly weakened.
But the two men and three women in the private room... all have a temperament and presence that are on par with the two of them, or even better...
"Hi, how are you two~" The young man sitting near the door raised his hand to say hello to the two of them, then looked around with some doubts, and muttered: "One, two, three, four, five... eh ? I remember I said it should be six people."
Mo Tan shrugged and raised his chin at Yi Dong: "I am his follower~"
"Don't talk nonsense~" Yidong glanced at him and smiled at a few people: "This is my friend, don't you mind?"
He had already thought about it. As long as someone said 'mind', he and Mo Tan would immediately turn around and leave. After all, he had been here, so he could still do business when he returned home.
However, although the people present here are all from well-off families, none of them are dandy and have no objections. Another young man in colorful clothes who looks like a performance artist immediately shook his head and said: "Of course not, everyone." We are all about the same age, and the atmosphere becomes more lively when there are more people. I was so depressed that I could hardly breathe before you came in~"
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at the two people and made a face at a long-haired girl sitting in the back.
Then Yi Dong and Mo Tan sat down nearby.
"Ahem~" The short-haired girl wearing a peaked cap sitting in the middle cleared her throat and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone is here now. Since we haven't met each other before, everyone should just talk to themselves first. Let me introduce you~ My name is Ji Xiaoge, the season of seasons, the dawn of knowledge, and the pigeon of pigeons~"
This is a girl who is full of youth and vigor. She looks delicate and delicate, like a porcelain doll. Although her cap, casual shirt and jeans make her look a bit like a tomboy, and her face is completely bare-faced, but she is She still can't hide her charming appearance, which can make anyone feel full of intimacy with her in a very short time.
"Ji Xiaodao." The girl sitting next to the former said softly, and then there was no more words. He was the 'low pressure' that the boy who looked like a performance artist suggested to Mo Tan and Mo Tan before...
Ji Xiaodao looks a bit like Ji Xiaoge, but not as flamboyant as her sisters, and her temperament is completely different. Her eyes are gray, as if she is indifferent to everything, and her expression is cold and rigid from beginning to end. She wears black Jacket, slightly thinner than Ji Xiaoge, with long hair that hangs down to his waist. He looks taciturn, but in fact... he is also taciturn.
"Hey, my sister hasn't been very talkative since she was a child~" Ji Xiaoge stuck out her tongue: "Actually, she is a good child~"
The last girl standing up next was the last girl present. She looked a little introverted. When she stood up, she accidentally knocked her hands, pursed her lips and whispered: "My name is Yu Chen, um... please give me some advice!"
This girl is not short, at least about 1.7 meters, but I don’t know why. Although her height and bust ratio are very good, she still makes people feel small. She is wearing a light yellow sweater and shorts, with long hair. It was tied into a clean and refreshing single ponytail. Her little face was flushed for some reason and she looked extremely introverted. After she finished speaking, she quickly sat back and lowered her head so low that it was almost buried in her chest.
The first boy to greet Mo Tan and the two of them scratched his hair: "I'm Wan Yang, when will we order? I'm a little hungry..."
This man is taller and has a very well-proportioned figure. Although he is undoubtedly yellow, he has short, angry red hair that does not look like it was dyed. His clothes are similar to Mo Tan, they are all simple casual clothes. Although It's a little silly, but there's a hint of underlying unruliness and wildness.
"Kang Lan, 21 years old, single, artist~" The boy who looked like a performance artist said seriously: "He also works as a palm reader part-time."
Mo Tan noticed that his eyes kept drifting towards Ji Xiaoge several times while he was talking...
Kang Lan's figure is a bit thin, and she wears a pair of heavy-looking black-rimmed glasses on her face. She is quite handsome. In terms of appearance alone, she should be between Yi Dong and Mo Tan. Her hair is messy, even though she looks There is no city, and he is dressed like a performance artist, but for some reason, Mo Tan has an incomprehensible feeling. This situation is quite rare.
Then Yi Dong also introduced himself a little bit. In fact, no one knew where to start, and they were not familiar with each other, so they basically only mentioned their names.
Finally it was Mo Tan's turn.
"Well..." He pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "My name is Mo Tan. I order food very professionally and with high cost performance."
"Pfft~" Ji Xiaoge burst out laughing at that time, bent down and patted the table several times before he recovered: "You are so funny!"
【Hey Hey hey! This girl's smile is a bit low! If I had prepared a joke seriously, she would have rolled off her chair! ? 】
Mo Tan secretly thought in his heart that although his original intention was to make a joke, he did not expect that person's reaction would be so big.
"This hero!" Wan Yang, who had been calling out for hunger since just now, immediately handed over the electronic menu with both hands: "I leave it all to you!"
"Easy to say, easy to say~" Mo Tan said with a smile. He was not entirely bragging. In fact, because his cooking skills basically stopped at dishes costing less than two hundred yuan, Mo Tan still liked to find differences every time he was embarrassed. As a treat to himself at the restaurant, after a long time, he has developed a rather high-end ordering skills, not to mention that on the way back, he also made a special effort to do some research on the hotel, and now he took a look at the menu. I quickly figured it out in my mind.
In less than ten minutes, a large table of dishes had been served, but because they were not familiar with each other, everyone was a little reserved and didn't talk much.
"Ahem~" Yi Dong glanced at Mo Tan and said to him scornfully: "Then, let's find something to talk about?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Mo Tan immediately smiled and said: "Okay, how about we talk about the topic of 'awkward man in suit'?"
"Pfft~"
"Ahem...hahaha...this is a bit cruel!"
"Pfft~ No, I can't hold it in anymore~ Pfft hahaha~"
As soon as Mo Tan finished speaking, Yi Dong froze up, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even Yu Chen, who hadn't spoken since introducing himself, couldn't help but make a 'poof' sound. Come, Ji Xiaoge and Wan Yang blushed even more with smiles. Kang Lan tried hard to tighten his face, but to no avail. Only Ji Xiaodao was still calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly drawn...
Yi Dong, that's an embarrassment, that's an injustice!
He originally thought that his parents were very serious and asked him to come to this party. They must be young people with similar family status to his own, and such people usually prefer to be prude, so Yi Dong changed into a decent suit. I also planned to ask Mo Tan to put it on, but when I came here, I saw that he was the only one special. This was already quite embarrassing. When Mo Tan mentioned it, this 'embarrassing man in suit' wanted to find him directly. Get into a crack in the ground.
"Classmate Yidong, you are so right to bring this friend of yours to play with!" Ji Xiaoge snickered and said, "My condolences~"
We are all college students, so her title is quite appropriate and makes people feel friendly.
Wan Yang also smiled and said: "I have to write down this joke~ It will be good as a blackmail condition in the future~"
"Count me in~" Kang Lan was also happy.
"Second the proposal." Ji Xiaodao, who had always had a cold face, actually said coldly.
Yi Dong almost cried: "Everyone, please forget about this. This meal is mine. If we get together again in the future, it will still be mine~"
Then Mo Tan calmly took out his phone, pressed it, and then...
"This meal is mine. If we get together again in the future, it will still be mine~" Yi Dong's voice came out clearly from inside.
Mo Tan looked around at everyone: "Everyone will exchange contact information in a while, and I will send the recording to you."
"I shouldn't have brought you here!" Yi Dong yelled, pointing at Mo Tan through gritted teeth.
Everyone burst into laughter ~ the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Therefore, Mo Tan just has no intention of expanding his social circle, but it is definitely not because of poor communication skills. In fact, as long as he is willing, he can easily activate the atmosphere. It's just that Yi Dong became the victim this time, but it doesn't matter. People who can become Mo Tan's friends are basically used to being cheated by him.
Everyone just chatted while eating~
The topics that young people talk about are nothing more than school life, entertainment and gossip, eating, drinking and having fun. There may be some people who like to show off their wealth and show off, but there is no such thing among the people present. The seven people are chatting very much. Being happy did not create the feeling of a 'rich second generation tea party'.
What made Yi Dong quite nervous was that Mo Tan had a personality change during the process. However, because of the 'five-minute buffering technique' and the lively atmosphere, others did not notice anything strange, not to mention that he was in Mo Tan, who is a master of personality, has long been used to this kind of thing. He should still talk and eat, and everything seems very normal~
Yi Dong could sense it only because the two of them were so familiar.
As we chatted, the topic began to shift to games, and...
"Hey~ Do you all know about the [Innocence Boundary] that was officially released yesterday?" Wan Yang wiped his mouth and suddenly asked everyone.
Yi Dong shook his head: "I don't know."
As a result, everyone knew except him!
"You play that one too? I spent the whole night there last night!" Kang Lante said excitedly: "I'm a loyal fan of DND rule-based games!"
Yuchen also raised his little hand: "I, too, was pulled by my classmates to play together..."
"Me and Xiaodao are the same, but we created a character and played with it for a while last night~~" Ji Xiaoge also widened his eyes and said: "What a coincidence!"
Mo Tan shrugged: "Me too."
Yidong lowered his shoulders gloomily and sighed with extreme depression: "In that case, am I the only one who has not kept up with the trend as an awkward man in a suit..."
"It's not too late!" Wan Yang laughed: "I am from the [Chaotic Good] camp. I was turned into an orc by the system. In the game, I am called Huo Yanyang, War Sacrifice."
Kang Lan pushed up his thick-bottomed glasses and said, "I am from the [Neutral Good] camp. My race is tree elf. My name is Rune Hiran. I am a level 3 jungle ranger and a level 1 priest."
As expected of an avid player, Mo Tan estimated that Kang Lan should be the most powerful player among the group of people present, but unexpectedly...
"I am [Absolutely Neutral]~" Yu Chen blinked lightly under a pair of eyes under his long eyelashes: "He is a human, his name is Chen Wangyu, his profession is...well...Level 5 Priest."
The words shocked everyone. Kang Lan almost fell off the chair and exclaimed: "How many levels do you mean??"
"Uh!" Yuchen was startled by his exaggerated reaction and timidly replied: "Pastor...Level 5..."
"How did you do it!?" Wan Yang also asked with some exaggeration: "From last night to this morning, I can only play less than twenty-three hours of game time at most. To train a profession to level five What’s going on!”
"I haven't played for that long~" Yuchen stretched out his index finger and gently scratched his smooth cheek, recalling: "After the guidance task was completed, the archbishop asked me to pray, and then I stared at the statue of the goddess in a daze for a while. , I seem to have heard some sounds, and when I reacted, I was already at Level 5~ The Archbishop also said that I was that god...god..."
"The one favored by God."
Mo Tan and Kang Lan said in unison.
"Yeah, yes, she is the one favored by the gods!" Yuchen nodded vigorously. Now she was no longer as restrained as before, and her voice was much louder.
"It sounds so awesome." Ji Xiaoge said without realizing it: "My sister and I only played for a short time and got offline before completing the guidance task. I am from the [Neutral and Good] camp. , his race is half-orc, his name is Ye Ge~ I haven’t chosen my profession yet~”
"[Chaotic Evil]." Ji Xiaodao said calmly: "Dark Elf, you didn't choose a profession."
Mo Tan was stunned: "Chaotic evil?"
"Is there any problem?" Ji Xiaodao asked.
"There's no problem." Mo Tan shook his head and said, "It's just..."
Wan Yang said: "It seems that there are no players from the chaotic evil camp so far, at least that's what the forum says~"
Ji Xiaodao snorted and curled his lips: "It's rare to see something strange!"
"Actually, I don't think Xiaodao is suitable for chaotic evil, but she seems different from me." Ji Xiaoge nodded and said, "When she logged into the game, there was only one door. I heard that others They are nine fans representing different camps, and I am also a nine fan."
Mo Tan suddenly felt a slight pain in his head.
"What about that, I want to ask." Yi Dong finally interrupted and asked several people: "What time can you start playing the game? Are there any peripherals for sale now?"
Mo Tan glanced at him and said with a smile: "At seven o'clock in the evening, you can't get the peripherals without selling them?"
"Then let's call it a night!" Yidong rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "How about adding a friend to the game tonight?"
Everyone will smile~
"Okay, by the way, Mo Tan, what's your name in the game?" Wan Yang stood up and stretched and asked, "It's all you didn't say."
Mo Tan thought for a moment, hesitated for a while and finally said: "[Absolute Neutral], human, called Hei Fan, priest level 2."
"Remember everything! See you later, everyone." Ji Xiaoge smiled and waved to everyone.
"See you later~"
"Add friends."
"Don't forget to record~"
"Let's go!" Yi Dong dragged Mo Tan and ran into the elevator like a dog being chased: "Come with me to buy peripherals first~!"
