She suddenly leaned in and asked, "What memes do you usually play?" A chill ran down my spine, and I stammered, "Just... that one that's been going viral lately." The girl's eyes lit up. "Base Chain? $ping went up tenfold in a day. Using the x402 protocol for new listings is so cool." My voice faltered. "No..." "That must be the BSC chain. The $giggle charity meme went live today. CZ is so good at controlling the hype." "No..." "Sol Chain? What's there to be embarrassed about? $Solala Chinese memes are fun, too." She tilted her head and chuckled. "I don't play Sol..." My Adam's apple rolled, and my voice sounded like a stuck bullet. The girl was silent for two seconds, then her eyes widened. "You're not... still playing Tron, are you?" Her concerned gaze shone on me like a searchlight. I trembled all over, my eardrums buzzing. I clutched my thigh tightly, squeezing out a mosquito-like trembling voice from between my teeth. "None... none of that!" The air suddenly became quiet. The girl's smile froze, her voice suddenly cold. "So, which one are you playing?" "A popular meme, what else could it be?" Her words pierced my heart like an icicle. My knees buckled and I fell to the ground, tears hitting the tiled floor. "I... I play Xlayer..." The entire corridor fell silent, echoed only by the sound of my sniffling sobs. The people around me cast pitying glances. I covered my face tightly, a burning shame seeping through my fingers. The girl grabbed her coat and turned to leave. I cried, tugging at her shirt: "Please don't leave! We Xlayer... are really fun!" The crowd erupted in laughter. I hugged him even tighter. "Don't laugh! So what if the boss wrote a short essay about fud? So what if the leading $xdog can't be built? So what if the $XX life you keep saying is back to zero before you even reach 1m... It's not like you can't play! And our xlayer is about to be upgraded, with even better performance and scalability. In the future... In the future, it will definitely get better...!!" (At this moment, the security guard's footsteps and a sigh were heard in the distance: "...Another xlayer user.")
