Tao Le picked up a chopstick and put the colorful shredded eel in his mouth. The smoothness of the shredded eel, the elegance of the spring bamboo shoots, the deliciousness of the ham, and the color and aroma of red and green peppers made it really delicious.
"Huang Quan, what have you been busy with this year? Why haven't you played the game?" she asked.
Xia Huangquan's hand holding the cup paused slightly.
"Mainly because I'm busy at work and often work overtime." He said, the wind in his eyes gently brushing over Tao Le's face.
"I thought you were too busy having a girlfriend, or having a child through a flash marriage." Tao Le said with a smile.
"No." Xia Huangquan almost blurted out: "I am still single and have no girlfriend."
"Oh. It turns out that our Captain Huang Quan is also very discerning in choosing girlfriends."
After getting off the net, he raised his head and looked at her seriously, with a complicated and unspeakable expression on his face.
Seeing this expression, Tao Le suddenly realized that what he just said was still very problematic.
Speaking of which, they were just netizens who had never met each other and didn't even know each other's identities and addresses.
Even if they had a tacit understanding with each other, it was probably because their identities were unknown and there was no burden in making friends.
But it seems a bit inappropriate to have a brief exchange of words and to ask about the other person's personal affairs.
"You don't have to worry about the question just now. I made a mistake." Tao Le immediately made up for it.
"Actually, it's nothing." Xia Huangquan drank the wine in one gulp: "Recently, I have really encountered some problems in this area, and I want to ask you to help me solve my problems."
The Bagua lamp in Tao Le's heart suddenly shone brightly.
She said enthusiastically: "If you have any questions, just ask and I will analyze it for you!"
Xia Huangquan hesitated for a while and then said: "Actually, as you said at the beginning, I have very clear standards for my future marriage partner."
"Oh? What standard?" Tao Le asked curiously.
"I can't talk about this." Xia Huangquan shook his head: "I can only tell you that my standards are different from those of the world. They are not measured by appearance, net worth, or academic qualifications, but out of other considerations."
"For example, how do we feel about each other?" Tao Le used the elimination method.
"Although it's not exactly the same, it's okay if you understand it this way." Xia Huangquan thought for a while before continuing:
"I met a girl. She was completely different from what I thought before, and she didn't meet the standards I mentioned at all."
"We didn't meet many times, didn't communicate much, and we didn't even contact each other for a long time."
"I thought she would be like everyone else. To me, she was just a name, a symbol, and would soon be forgotten."
"But I don't know why, her appearance becomes more and more clear in my mind."
"When I sleep, I dream about her, from occasionally to now every night."
"Not only that, even in work and life, her figure will appear in front of me."
Having said this, Xia Huangquan sighed and poured himself another glass of wine: "I think I have a disease."
When Tao Le heard this, he felt that his curiosity was greatly satisfied.
"You are indeed sick." She commented professionally: "In traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is characterized by emotional failure and excessive thinking that damages the five organs. In Western medicine, it is collectively called mental illness."
After leaving Huangquan, he smiled bitterly: "Xinghuo. Your angle of analyzing the problem is really different from others."
"Is there any?" Tao Le took a sip of the hot and sweet yellow rice wine boiled with rock sugar and tangerine peel, squinted his eyes and said with a smile:
"Actually, in a nutshell, Brother Huangquan, you have fallen deeply in love and cannot extricate yourself."
"Falling in love?" Xia Huangquan's eyes froze: "You mean, I like her?"
Tao Le sighed heavily and put down his wine glass: "When you were the commander of a battleship, you could be said to be decisive and decisive, but when it comes to love, how can you be so slow?"
"Are you slow?" Xia Huangquan murmured to himself.
"Let me ask you, not counting the distance, have you seen her recently?" Tao Le simply rolled up his sleeves and decided to help this blue-faced confidant give her a good rub.
"Yes." Xia Huangquan nodded.
"Then were you full of expectations before you met her? Will you be very happy when you are with her? Will you feel bored after being separated from her?"
"Everything you said is right." Xia Huangquan said without hesitation.
"Isn't that enough?" Tao Le laughed: "In addition, I have thoughts and dreams every day, and my work and life are distracted by her - if this is not love, what else can it be?"
"It's really love." Xia Huangquan looked thoughtful: "Actually, I have been looking for a lot of information recently, and they all say that this should be it, but I always feel unsure."
"You listen to me." Tao Le patted the table: "This matter is definitely and definitely true. Congratulations, Brother Huang Quan, you have found the person you are destined to be."
A wry smile appeared on Xia Huangquan's face: "I haven't even written my horoscope yet. It's too early to say this now. If nothing else, it's just my one-sided liking at the moment."
This time it was Tao Le's turn to be puzzled: "Have you not confessed your love to the other party yet?"
"Cough cough cough!" Xia Huangquan choked on a sip of wine.
"To be honest, I seem to have forgotten some of the past between us, so I said some inappropriate words to her."
"Probably because of those words, she was angry with me."
It turns out that there are so many intricate and complicated pasts. Tao Le listened with great interest. Seeing him stop, he quickly asked: "What is her attitude now?"
"It's not good." Xia Huangquan lowered his head and played with the small wine glass in his hand: "She seems to be avoiding me like a savage beast, and she is eager to draw a clear line with me immediately."
"Ah?" Tao Le was surprised: "Girls are very emotional. What did you do to make her treat you like this?"
Xia Huangquan shook his head gently and raised his glass to Tao Le.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." He said: "Come on, old friend, we haven't seen each other for a year, let's get drunk today!"
It's strange to say that in real life Tao Le only drinks one cup, but in the game she can drink a lot.
This is one of the benefits of "Millions of Light Years". The feeling of being tipsy is the same as in life, but there is no discomfort after being drunk.
When the offline time set by Tao Le came, she still did not forget to remind Huang Quan when she was leaving:
"Brother Huang Quan, I think the most important thing between lovers is to be honest with each other. If there is any misunderstanding, make it clear and don't leave any regrets."
Xia Huangquan put his hand on his forehead, obviously under the influence of alcohol: "Things between us are much more complicated than you think. But no matter what, thank you for your advice."
