"I... don't know." Shen Mian said this with some hesitation.
She actually wanted to find someone to talk to, but she really didn't know how to talk.
He couldn't tell Gu Henzhi about the game, nor could he say that the coincidences around him at certain times were like encountering supernatural events.
She had a hunch that if she said this, maybe Gu Henzhi would really believe it, but... then what?
For the first time in her life, Shen Mian felt a sense of confusion.
It is said that the end of science is theology, but Shen Mian himself does not believe in gods and ghosts. So those familiar feelings must be for some special reason. And she should be able to find the reason.
"Isn't it convenient to say it?" Gu Henzhi asked softly.
The Mianmian he knew rarely had such moments of hesitation. Even if he was troubled by something before, he was basically very quick to solve the trouble. At most, you may complain a few words like a joke, and then you will quickly find a suitable solution.
That's why he asked.
"It's not inconvenient, it's just that I don't know how to speak." She could hear the worry hidden in Gu Henzhi's tone. "I don't know if some things are just asking for trouble, so I want to calm down first. If what I'm thinking about can be confirmed, I will tell you." She thought for a while and added at the end.
In fact, Shen Mian has not been someone who confides in others easily since she was a child. She has no memory at all before going to the orphanage. And since she was picked up by the dean's mother, although the things she has experienced cannot be said to be in detail, she can indeed confirm that she has not forgotten anything.
As for what she had experienced before the orphanage, given her age at that time, it was impossible for her to have a clear understanding of what she felt familiar now. A child is a child after all. Even if she thought like an adult at that time, it would still be different.
Unless it's something broadcast on TV that brings memories of the previous life or time travel, but that's just too ridiculous. After she graduated from junior high school, she was no longer interested in those things. If she said this, she wouldn't even believe it herself.
People around her, including Wei Duo, have complained since she was a child, wondering what she was thinking about every day. She had long been accustomed to everything digesting itself.
But for some reason, looking at Gu Henzhi on the other side of the phone screen, she finally added, "If what I'm thinking about can be confirmed, I will tell you." She was not sure. It's because he feels that Gu Henzhi is not a real person, so it doesn't matter even if she is laughed at, or if some secret speculation in his heart becomes a reality one day, he may be the only one around him who can feel that she is not crazy.
Thinking of this, Shen Mian suddenly chuckled.
When did she become such a forward-thinking person?
"I actually..."
"Just remember to tell me when you want to say something." Gu Henzhi interrupted her rarely and looked at the screen with a gentle expression.
It's not that he knows the position of the screen, it's just that the game camera on Shen Mian's phone will automatically track the appropriate direction.
The direction in which Gu Henzhi was speaking at this time was exactly the direction from which the sleeping voice came.
"...Okay." Shen Mian nodded first, then realized that the other party couldn't see it, so she responded softly.
It's been a long, long time since anyone could take care of her emotions in such a subtle way.
This made Shen Mian stare at the enlarged handsome face on the mobile phone screen in a daze. She didn't know how many times she thought about it again: It would be great if he was really her boyfriend. What if...
An inexplicable atmosphere suddenly emerged between the two of them, which made Shen Mian reluctant to break it.
"That's right." Gu Henzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and broke the silence.
"Um?"
"School is on holiday in two days, and I need to go back to the main planet. I may need to do some private things for a day. That is a rule in the family and cannot be known to others, so I may not be able to accompany you that day, and... ..." He hesitated for a moment, thinking about what words to use so as not to cause misunderstanding.
"I understand. I won't disturb you then. Just tell me what day it is. And..." Shen Mian lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "How are you going to compensate me?"
There was a hint of cunning in her voice, which was completely different from the silence just now.
Seeing that she had regained some energy, Gu Henzhi's brows and eyes also showed a smile: "What kind of compensation do you want?"
What kind of straight man statement is this?
Shen Mian curled her lips inwardly, pretending to be angry: "How can I ask such a question directly? Of course I want to be more sincere. This is the basic conduct of a boyfriend!" After saying that, he muttered softly again. One sentence: "I don't know what I learned from the two previous books."
Although her last sentence was soft, Gu Henzhi still heard every word because the surrounding environment was very quiet.
The contents of those two books... He was now very sure that Mianmian himself had never read them at all!
Thinking about it, according to her personality, she doesn't actually ask for many trivial things. In other words, she is not like the women Gu Henzhi has come into contact with before. Many of her habits and ways of thinking are quite different.
When he was in the army, although Gu Henzhi was the top military commander, he rarely had any personal relationships with women. But after all, most of the people around him are older than him, and most of them have girlfriends or have already started families. What the other half they were looking for was like, even if he had never seen it, he had heard them mention it.
Mianmian, on the other hand, is very different from them.
Perhaps it was because of this difference that he was able to shift her position from a simple mission target to the position of a passionate woman.
If this had happened before, it would have been something I would never have thought of.
"Is it the basic conduct of a boyfriend? No matter what I say, will you agree to this compensation plan?" Gu Henzhi asked with a smile.
"Well...that's not necessarily the case. You have to talk about it first."
She is the one being compensated, so naturally she has the final say whether she agrees or disagrees!
Even if she has never played other games, she also knows that even if all games are down for maintenance for a few hours, corresponding compensation will be given after that. What's more, in Gu Henzhi's words, he wanted to take a day off from himself. And she still had to do something that she couldn't tell her. Others might not agree. What if she did something "bad" behind her back?
That means she is tolerant and generous!
