Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

...human beings are complicated. Ringo complained inwardly.

He didn't deal with the group of fallen people that this guy said, who knows if what this guy said is true or not? Did that group of people really have plans for Xu Beijin's nightmare?

However, although he had no intention of targeting that group of people, there seemed to be some rumors spreading during this meeting, which made the group of people think that Ringo seemed to be targeting them.

So, not long after, someone couldn't sit still and invited Lingo to have a conversation. The place where they talked was the empty house that Ringo stepped into at this time.

To his surprise, the leader on the opposite side was Jiang Shuangmei, whom he had seen in a nightmare not long ago.

Was it this woman who united the fallen...?

As soon as Ringo came in, before he had time to speak, Jiang Shuangmei spoke first.

"Boss, I want to clarify one thing when I meet you this time." Jiang Shuangmei took a deep breath, "We know you like Xu Beijin..."

These words immediately stunned Ringo.

He was listening casually, thinking that Jiang Shuangmei had something to say, but when he heard this, he couldn't help being startled.

……etc.

What?

He likes Xu Beijin?

Why doesn't he know it himself?

Lin Po looked at Jiang Shuangmei like a fool: "How do you know that I like Xu Beijin?" After he finished saying this, he thought about the meaning, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly added, "I mean..."

Hearing Lin Po admitting that he likes Xu Beijin, Jiang Shuangmei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly said: "What we mean is that we know you like that bookstore owner, so we won't provoke him, nor will we spy on your lives, absolutely not."

Ringo: "..."

Although this is what he asked for, why does this logic seem to be a bit wrong...?

...In the final analysis, why did Jiang Shuangmei think that he liked Xu Beijin!

Lin Po frowned and asked, "I mean, how do you know that I like Xu Beijin? Where did you find out?"

He thought about it, and it seemed that the meaning was not right, and he seemed to agree that he liked Xu Beijin by default...but he was really confused.

Jiang Shuangmei seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and after a while she suddenly realized.

She knows!

Ringo must be secretly in love! He must have thought that he was hiding well so that he would not be discovered, and now that she has exposed his thoughts, he couldn't hold back his face!

Jiang Shuangmei secretly slandered, thinking that you are already so blatant, you have warned all the taskers on the bottom floor of the narrow building, are you still pretending here?

But she didn't dare to provoke Lin Po, so she hurriedly told Lin Po the information she had learned, half tentatively and half flattering.

She concealed the existence of the muscular man and the "Masque of the Devil", combined the scenes he saw and some rumors she heard, and told Ringo true and false.

However, although she lied about the source of the information, those things were done by Lingo herself, which is beyond doubt!

After hearing Jiang Shuangmei's words, Lingo couldn't help being in a daze.

Take the initiative to give gifts, take the initiative to understand the other person's preferences, actively intervene in the other person's life, worry that the other person will be angry with you, hate yourself, accompany you for a long time, and you will feel involuntary expectation and joy when you see the other person...

Is this what you like?

Ringo fell silent.

Liking, or love, is an overly complex and profound proposition for Ringo's simple world. He has never considered this kind of thing, even though in the narrow building, love affairs always seem straightforward and cold.

He didn't think about whether he would like someone, just as he never seemed to have any regrets about his lost past, and he never thought about whether he could recall his past.

There is only now in his life.

And Xu Beijin...?

Xu Beijin brought him something different. The only light in his life, which is as dark as an abyss. It seemed to light up his world, but Ringo's first reaction was that he was abrupt, shiny and annoying.

When he saw that spot of light, he wanted to destroy him, just like any obsessive-compulsive disorder, he couldn't calmly face the sentence "killing a obsessive-compulsive disorder is not easy".

The underlying reason why he wants to fight Xu Beijin is that apart from physical conflicts such as fighting, he seems to be unable to think of any other way to make this beam of light disappear from his life.

He felt... some kind of fear. disturbed. He felt that the appearance of Xu Beijin would change something about him, life, or soul. He felt... There was something about this mysterious man that made him afraid.

So he eagerly wanted to fight Xu Beijin.

...but when did things change?

Since he learned that Xu Beijin likes drinks, since he took the initiative to give Xu Beijin drinks, since he took the initiative to visit Xu Beijin's bookstore, and since he... took the initiative to intervene in Xu Beijin's lonely, peaceful and boring life. .

And Xu Beijin also intervened in his life.

What is Ringo's life like in the past?

He might be less interesting than Xu Beijin. He spends more time in a daze every day than Xu Beijin. He said he wasn't interested in nightmares, but he had nothing to do in the Narrows if he didn't get into them.
