Just as Shen Mian said the word "Okay", her finger also pressed the "Open" button.
[Long-term copy: Interstellar Simulator (already opened)]
This line of prompt disappeared quickly after being enlarged.
Just as Shen Mian watched the words disappear from her sight, Gu Henzhi's voice also sounded: "How are you...in the past two days?"
Shen Mian was startled, and then he realized that it was around the time of the sacrificial ceremony that he noticed something.
She looked at Gu Henzhi's face on the phone screen, and suddenly felt that she didn't know when she really started to treat him as an independent person existing in other dimensions, rather than a simple game and hidden person. The CV guy behind the scenes.
Is it because she didn't play games much before, so is it a late addiction to the Internet?
She thought silently in her heart.
However, this idea did not stay in her mind for too long: "I encountered some things, but...the books you borrowed for me that day were very useful."
"I'm just responsible for borrowing books for you. The rest is all your own efforts." Gu Henzhi smiled.
He was telling the truth. Although he didn't know what happened to her, she was the one who absorbed the contents of the book, and she was the one who really solved the problem. At most, he just expressed some of his thoughts.
Just when Shen Mian thought Gu Henzhi wouldn't say anything more, he suddenly heard his voice: "But Mianmian, I'm very happy that you sent me a message to say you were safe that day."
Gu Henzhi didn't have much experience in getting along with girls in private. He was worried that it would be difficult for him to say what she said that day. He hoped that she could come to him if she had something to do, just like she came to him to borrow a book that day. Although he was obviously asking for help, he actually felt pretty good.
Therefore, the commander, who wanted to tell her that if she had anything to do, she could contact him, thought for a long time, but chose this relatively tactful way of describing it.
In fact, if it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to understand what he meant, and would only think that he was describing a fact.
But Shen Mian suddenly had a feeling, as if a small light bulb clicked on in his mind.
"You...were you waiting for me that day?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Mian immediately felt a little regretful.
It's one thing to speculate like this, but to say it directly like this seems to be very narcissistic. It would be so embarrassing if it was just my own fault.
Just when she was thinking about how to say something to make up for it, Gu Henzhi on the other side hesitated and nodded.
"Um."
A simple syllable made Shen Mian suddenly feel a trace of warmth on her cheeks, and her eyes unconsciously moved away from the screen.
Although she felt that it would be embarrassing if she acted on her own, Gu Henzhi's direct nod also made her feel uncomfortable for a moment.
She suddenly wanted to travel back to a minute ago and take back the question she just asked.
When she sent that message that day, she actually only chose to leave a message after she found that she could not enter the game and a question appeared on the game whether to leave a message.
She knew it was just a game, so she didn't think Gu Henzhi really needed to "report his safety" herself.
However, when he suddenly admitted that he had actually been waiting for her that day.
Even if she didn't ask, she could guess something.
He is worried about her!
Even though it was just a virtual boyfriend in the game, she could still feel the source of warmth on her face when he said it.
She knew clearly that he would never be able to see her now, but she still avoided his sight subconsciously.
She seemed to be... a little strange.
"I grew up in an orphanage, so I spent most of my time alone, and I'm used to being alone. So, it's not that big of a deal to worry about other people's presence or coming home late. Concept. That day..."
Shen Mian hesitated for a moment. She originally wanted to tell the truth what she was thinking at that time. But he suddenly remembered that he had just said that he was very happy that she could tell him that she was safe, and he had been waiting for news about her. This made her decide not to be so honest after thinking for a moment.
"Growing up, I was busy studying when I was in school, and busy making money after working. There were not many people around me who could be called friends. But before this, I never thought it was a big deal. . However, I am also very happy that you are willing to wait for me."
A small mirror on the dressing table not far from Shen Mian's bedroom reflected her face at the moment.
Her slightly red cheeks added a lot of color to her already fair skin. There was a big gap between her whole person and her calm and carefree appearance during the day.
If Wei Duo were here, he would definitely take a photo of this scene as a souvenir as if he discovered the New World.
Shen Mian's willingness to say these words was her response to Gu Henzhi.
She has always been like this. Others are willing to treat her with the most sincerity, and she will not be stingy in returning the same sincerity to others.
Of course, she had to admit that Gu Henzhi's face was indeed a big plus. Other than that, she felt that the only reliable thing about this game was that the boyfriend she picked seemed to really meet her standards.
If only he really existed.
Shen Mian thought silently in her heart.
Gu Henzhi on the other side listened to her briefly summarizing her experience, and his expression was a little stunned for a moment.
Mianmian rarely seemed to show that sense of loneliness, from the first time she appeared next to him as "Zhou Ying" until now. She seemed to be smart, independent and reliable, which was even better than the women he had come into contact with at work before.
Perhaps it was because of this impression that when she said these words and could say that he was willing to wait for her that would make her very happy, Gu Henzhi felt that it was not at all straightforward to speak in this regard. What a bad thing.
He wanted to see her expression when she said this. As a girl, she was already very good.
"It's the best if you can work hard and grow by yourself until now."
He is not 100% able to empathize with a person's growth, but he wants to understand her as much as possible.
At this moment, Gu Henzhi wanted to understand Mianmian not only because of his own mission.
More importantly, he wanted to know what kind of person she was, and what kind of existence could make him feel so soft-hearted.
