He Tianran was not prepared at all for this unexpected encounter.
He bent the thumb of his right hand hidden behind his back and pressed hard on the second joint of his index finger. The nail left a crescent mark on the flesh. This pain brought him a glimmer of clarity and allowed him to distinguish reality. asked:
"Why are you here?"
Wen Liang put away her phone and took two steps forward.
"This is really the most boring opening statement. Can't I come here to entertain you? In the past, I wouldn't want to pay attention to such words."
When He Tianran came back to his senses, it seemed that the two of them had really happened by chance this time. He calmed down and smiled:
"Then what else can I say? Why don't you give me a sample and demonstrate what kind of opening can not be boring?"
Wen Liang's face showed disdain: "I don't have that much free time to train an otaku."
"A nerd is better than a scumbag. You don't have to deny your vision for the future."
The boy walked up to her. The short-haired girl had an uncertain expression on her face. She glanced at him sideways, and then said helplessly:
"Your condition is much better than last month."
He Tianran said bluntly: "It has nothing to do with the state."
"How to say?"
"To put it more complicatedly, it's because the joy of the game stimulates my adrenaline, leaving me with no time to think about anything else, and reaching a state similar to 'flow'; to put it more simply, it's because when I play games, I have no time to think about anything else. ,woman!"
He Tianran was talking eloquently, while Wen Liang was speechless.
"Isn't this statement interesting enough?"
"It's a miracle that you were able to trick that little girl."
"It's not all thanks to you. In fact, regarding this point, I should give you a late salute."
He Tianran raised his eyebrows and Wen Liang couldn't help but let out a "scream" and laughed.
The two found an empty seat in the game city's lounge bar and sat down. Wen Liang ordered a glass of banana milk as usual, and He Tianran ordered a fried chicken steak and Coke.
"You haven't eaten?" Wen Liang asked, looking at He Tianran who was about to feast.
"I've eaten, but it's almost the same as not eating. Do you want some?"
That being said, He Tianran had no intention of sharing the chicken steak.
Wen Liang took a sip of milk, leaned back, and crossed his two long legs. Seeing this, He Tianran changed the topic:
"This must be the first time we have sat down and chatted like this calmly after that incident, right?"
"I gave you a chance." Wen Liang said easily.
"Hey, hey, hey, it sounds like you dumped me, can you stop doing that? At least it was a supernatural force that separated us, please save some face for me." He Tianran said.
Wen Liang shook his head and corrected: "It's not 'us', it's 'you'!"
He Tianran smiled: "It seems that you are more entangled with this issue than me."
The short-haired girl choked and didn't speak.
The boy was eating fried chicken leisurely, and he kept asking:
"Hey, how much do you remember about the future?"
"Have the warmth and coolness I like affected your daily living habits?"
"I worked so hard to gain goodwill, but now that I'm here with you, is there anything left?"
Wen Liang was annoyed by the question, "When did you become so noisy?"
He Tianran responded humbly: "You didn't teach me that."
"What did I teach you?"
"When a girl doesn't speak, try to end with a question. At that time, you said two solutions. This is the first one. I haven't figured out the second one yet..." He Tianran recalled.
"Okay, stop it!"
The girl seemed to have recalled it and quickly interrupted the topic. Suddenly her next words became a little aggressive.
"'She' was full of affection for you from the beginning, but you said you worked hard, tell me now, what did you work hard for?"
"..."
This time, it was He Tianran's turn to be questioned. He was used to being pushed forward by that Wen Liang. Now that he thought about it carefully, he had indeed not done anything for her, and when he wanted to respond positively, the girl had already Disappeared.
Facing the question from the same girl, He Tianran silently tore off a piece of chicken with his teeth, feeling like chewing wax in his mouth.
Wen Liang also realized that something was wrong with her emotions. She tried to calm herself down and said quietly:
"Forget it, there's no point in discussing this now, it's not worth it..."
"I don't think so. At least her appearance changed my destiny. She did what she wanted to do most."
As an eyewitness, He Tianran expressed his other feelings.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then looked away.
After a long time, Wen Liang confided: "Actually, I have never had any real understanding of what happened between you. It's like reading a novel. I have the same name as the heroine, and I also know all the plot, but There’s still no sense of immersion.”
"The author who wrote this novel is really a street writer..."
He Tianran complained in agreement. Suddenly, he caught a piece of information and asked:
"Listen to what you said, do you also know about things in the future, no, things that happened in another timeline?"
Wen Liang nodded, but said without any joy at all: "So what if you know, I won't tell you about my things; about yours, you said 'she' changed your destiny, so what if you know it?" What’s the use?”
The boy paused and said cautiously: "Actually, I just want to know one thing."
Wen Lianghui misunderstood and frowned: "'She' is not with you, and your future will indeed be miserable. What 'she' said is all the truth."
He Tianran shook his head: "That's not what I want to know..."
Wen Liang glanced at him silently, waiting for his next words.
The young man grinned and asked nonchalantly: "I just want to know, will I be happy in the future?"
Looking at his smile and listening to his questions, Wen Liang subconsciously stopped looking at him. She whispered at a volume that only two people could hear:
"Being silly and having fun all day long is called an idiot..."
He Tianran scratched his head in embarrassment, and then he heard Wen Liang continue to say:
"However, you in the future are not far from being an idiot. Although you don't have much money, you are still living quite happily..."
After hearing this, He Tianran breathed a sigh of relief and really didn't ask about anything else.
"Is this question... important?" Wen Liang held the straw in his mouth, his eyes full of doubts.
"Of course it's important. You...'she' shouldn't have fallen in love with a negative person. She would have found it boring."
He Tianran finished the fried chicken in a few seconds, opened the Coke can with one hand, raised his head and took a sip. Wen Liang stared at his squirming Adam's apple. When he lowered his head, the girl calmly lowered her eyes and drank her own drink. thing.
"'She' discovered it slowly." Wen Liang added.
"Indeed, if I were still the He Tianran who didn't dare to say a word to a girl, it would be difficult for others to get close to me." He analyzed himself and said it as a matter of course.
"Okay..." The short-haired girl crossed her hands on the table: "Now it's time for me to ask you questions."
"you say."
"What... do you think of me?" She said this with some hesitation.
"Is this what you want to ask the most?"
"Um."
He Tianran said without any thought, "You are you, and she is her. There is no need to worry about this."
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows: "If it is what you are saying now, then it seems that there is some conflict with the less meeting you said last time. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that your frequent appearance in front of me will replace 'her' in my mind. After all, you... are the same person."
"Now you say you are alone again?"
He Tianran said bitterly: "Yes or no, what I love is the Wenliang of the future, the Wenliang who is willing to be reborn and come back to save me. But the future has changed, and you can't be her anymore, so I said, you It’s you and she is him.”
"I also understand these principles..."
The boy pursed his lips and said, "I can probably understand now what you are worried about and why you asked this question. What I say next may not sound good, so don't mind."
"you say."
He Tianran organized his thoughts and said:
"You have another life memory that is completely different from the present one. It will affect your life and character, and even your perception of me. But after all, you are yourself. You are not the person I love. You will be different. In the future, you will meet another person who makes you fall in love with your life experience. That is your story. If unfortunately, you are affected by this memory and fall in love with me..."
At this point, Wen Liang's eyes trembled. What He Tianran said was correct. In recent months, she has indeed been greatly influenced by her future self, and this problem can only be solved from the perspective of the boy in front of her. Find some answers.
"I can only say I'm sorry. I can't accept the warmth that I love. There is another strange soul in my body..."
He came to a conclusion with some pain, which was unexpected but also reasonable.
"If we want to talk about strangers, then 'she' is the strange one! 'She' has only known you for a month!"
Wen Liang couldn't control her emotions and stood up from her seat. She couldn't figure out why she blurted out such a sentence.
"Before this, we didn't speak more than ten sentences, and you were planning to lie to me and see me make a fool of myself, weren't you?"
He Tianran looked up at her as if looking at a stranger.
"I……"
Wen Liang was speechless for a moment. The boy's eyes were as sharp as a knife. The girl felt that her heart had been cut out severely, which was extremely painful.
He Tianran no longer looked at her, but turned his attention to the cup of banana milk. The straw in the cup was flat and smooth.
"I figured it out, what about you?"
