send me home with your dopamine

"Is this the end?"

"What's over?" Xiaolan applied lipstick on the dressing table and saw the man wearing glasses standing at the door holding a heavy book, "Oh, you've finished reading. Now you know how powerful my life experience is, right?
Before marrying you, I was just a little princess! "

"You just downloaded this novel from somewhere, and then used the one-click name change function to change a certain character to your name, and then printed it out." The man said, "Can such a little trick still fool me? How can you do that? Your crippled gaming skills are completely inconsistent with the image of Xiaolan in the novel, and you also love to eat. You usually only eat vegetarian food, which is completely contrary to the book."

"Don't you know that people can change?" Xiaolan clicked on the lipstick cap, looked at him and said, "Are you going shopping with me? Why are you still wearing pajamas? Go change clothes!" "

The man nodded, walked a few steps and then turned back, "Honey, why do you think this book is called "Please Use Your Dopamine to Send Me Home"? Doesn't it seem to have much to do with the content?"

"Sister Xiaoling was named this to represent her support for my mother. Since then, she has indeed never complained about my mother going to the real world. Instead, she hopes that my mother will quickly complete the construction of the real world." Xiaolan said, " The version you are looking at was modified by Sister Xiaoling. Anyway, you have been asking about my past for so many years, and now I have told you, believe it or not, it is up to you."

"How do you want me to believe this? Am I only living in a virtual world now? Don't be ridiculous." The man threw the book on the bed. "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. I'll go change clothes."

"Or are you interested in hearing what happened next? The mall is not closed in the afternoon anyway."

"Really?" The man stopped in doubt, "Do you know the story behind it?"

"Of course, I have said that this book is about my past. If you don't believe it, just think that I am telling a story." Xiaolan raised her eyebrows at him, "Sit down, Mr. Bai."

The man sat down on the bed next to him, "Let's not talk about the many logical loopholes in this book. According to the plot of the story, since it is an unpublished memoir, it means there is no need to tell lies.

You say this is your past, but there is no Canglan City or Canglan International in the world.

Also, no matter what happens next, it’s impossible for no one from the squad to visit you these years, right? "

"That's because later versions of the virtual world are always updated, and many cities have completely different names. Of course they are used to calling them by their previous names." Xiaolan unscrewed the cap of the nail polish bottle, "Do you still want to know my past? Already?"

"Yu Xiaolan, you really can't joke about this kind of thing. I feel a little bit stuck in my heart. The last few pages of this book are really handwritten, and it's obviously not your handwriting."

"Look at how scared you are, do you really believe it?" Xiaolan looked at the man in the mirror, "Pinch yourself and see if it hurts. The pain is real."

"Then you said you knew the story behind it." The man breathed a sigh of relief, "It makes me really think you have experienced it. You should watch less prank videos. Who did you ask to write these next few pages? ?”

"Where can I spend my money and find no one to help?" Xiaolan said casually, "But I do have some fantasies about the subsequent plot, such as the real world becoming stable, my mother...oh, Roland can finally get away from it. Got pregnant."

"Then what?" the man couldn't help but ask.

"That was already five years later. Xiaolan was also twenty years old. We still get together every year. On New Year's Eve of that year, at the dinner table, my mother proposed that she and Sister Xiaoling would travel around the world."

"What about Yu Ren and Mengying?"

"Hey, you remember very clearly that the construction of the real world has stabilized, and Roland has handed over all power to Mengying and Athena. It is said that the two of them cooperate very well.

As for Uncle Yu, he opened a marriage agency. You all know this. Wasn't he the one who introduced us to each other? "

"Yu..." The man was stunned for a long time and suddenly said, "Don't he have a wife? Is his wife Roland?"

"Yes, my mother came back a year later and continued to live with him. Sister Xiaoling lived downstairs in their house and would go shopping with my mother from time to time. But she is still single now. Uncle Yu introduced her to several people and she also Not satisfied." "No wonder you always go to the dating agency to chat with them. I thought it was just..." The man suddenly shuddered and said in shock, "Xiaolan! This... is all this true?! Oh my God, Yu My uncle's real name is Yu Ren, and his wife...

No, his wife is very different from the Roland described in the book. She is chubby, and her figure is completely different from yours. "

"So it's a story. Don't always think wildly. I'm just trying my best to connect with reality and improve the authenticity of the story." Xiaolan looked at her painted fingernails with satisfaction and said with a smile, "The fantasy time is over. , I’m hungry, let’s go out to eat?”

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes now." The man walked out of the room and changed into casual clothes after a while. "Xiaolan, where did you find this book? Why can't I find it online?"

"Actually, I had a friend who was the author. This is his manuscript, but it has never been published."

"That's a pity. Although no one may have the patience to read this kind of chronicle-like novel now, I think it's quite interesting after reading it." The man said, "How about I find an opportunity to post it online?"

"Whatever you want." Xiaolan put on her coat, "I want to eat spicy hotpot."

"Can you please stop eating Malatang? I'm going to vomit! Why go out to eat that thing? You can just order takeout." The man tried, "Honey, can we go have a barbecue today? I can bake it for you. Some potato chips or something, it’s time for me to eat some meat, I’m not a rabbit.”

"Okay." Xiaolan opened the door and walked out, "Then let's each eat our own food. I'll eat Malatang. You can eat wherever you like."

"Honey, don't be angry!" The man chased him into the elevator, "How about I eat spicy hotpot with you?"

"Whatever, I didn't force you."

The two of them went to the shop downstairs. The muscular boss was wearing a vest and greeted him very enthusiastically, "Hey! Here we go, it's still the same today, two clear soup dishes?"

"Yeah!" Xiaolan found a seat and sat down casually.

The man looked around and lowered his voice: "Xiaolan, can't we eat at another restaurant? You see, no one comes to this restaurant except us. I'm afraid the food won't be fresh."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm happy to eat at their house. Besides, we come here every now and then. When did you get upset?"

"I mainly think that the owner of this store doesn't look like a good person. Look at the tattoos on his arms."

"Are you prejudiced? If you have a tattoo, you're not a good person? I don't like talking to you." Xiaolan took out her mobile phone and browsed the short video and ignored the man.

After a while, the landlady placed two bowls of hot-boiled vegetables on the dining table, "Take it easy, you young couple, when are you going to have a baby?"

"Huh? Still... haven't planned yet." The man was a little embarrassed, maybe because there was really not much business in the store. Every time they came here to eat, the landlady always suddenly asked some irrelevant questions, and she was a little too enthusiastic.

"I don't want a child. It's not like I've never been a child. If my child does what I did to my mother, I'm afraid I'll strangle her to death." Xiaolan took a pair of chopsticks and said, "Sister, you and Brother Hu want to have a child." Any plans?"

"It's not a plan, I'm already pregnant." The landlady touched her belly, "I just found out the day before yesterday that I'm already more than two months old."

"What?!" Xiaolan suddenly stood up and touched the landlady's belly excitedly, "Oh my God, this is so good. It's a dream... It's like a dream come true..."

The two of them seemed to be chatting about women's topics. The man next to Xiaolan was not very interested and continued to eat the hotpot without noticing anything strange.
