Xu Shiyue's voice was very calm, as if he was sharing with others a book that he thought was very good.
But she said that the content of this book was like a horrible bomb, which blasted into Lu Shizhen's heart which was full of joy a second ago.
The guilty conscience was like being hit by a cannonball, stirring up smoke and dust that instantly filled Lu Shizhen's heart.
Those round black eyes slowly enlarged in the dusk, and the sound of the heartbeat covered the entire world.
Lu Shizhen didn't believe that Xu Shiyue would read such a book for no reason, but he still imitated the original owner and commented disdainfully: "It's just multiple personalities, what's so interesting about it? But twenty-four grids are indeed enough, and I don't know how this person was discovered."
"Yes, how was it discovered?" Xu Shiyue asked back.
She was playing with the earphones in her hand with one hand, her calm tone mixed with a bit of interest.
Lu Shizhen's throat rolled. She always felt that Xu Shiyue was not studying Billy in the book, but herself.
But what is there for her to study
She's not schizophrenic...
The rapidly retreating streetlights illuminated Lu Shizhen's face in a flickering way. She paused for a moment, pretending to be calm and asked tentatively, "Why are you suddenly interested in these things?"
"I can't say I'm interested, I just suddenly wanted to read it." Xu Shiyue replied calmly in a faint voice, "After all, it is a very representative book on psychology."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shizhen said "Oh" politely.
She didn't know whether Xu Shiyue's explanation was an excuse or true, but even if it wasn't, she still had to be prepared for the worst.
The girl leaned back in her chair and raised her head, and then she deliberately used the original owner's condescending tone to hint, "But I still suggest that you focus on the book lists that your brother gave you, and don't waste your time reading those useless books."
"Okay." Xu Shiyue responded and put his headphones back on.
However, the phone showed that she had crossed out "Twenty-Four Billy" from the list and replaced it with another economics book.
Lu Shizhen watched Xu Shiyue's series of actions out of the corner of his eye, feeling guilty, his mind full of the content and conversation she had just introduced to him.
The rapid beating of the heart still showed no sign of slowing down. This was the first time she felt that a person could easily break down the opponent's defense with such a calm voice.
The saying "strike the snake at its most vulnerable part" is just like this.
Is this the feeling of oppression coming from the heroine
Lu Shizhen was unsure and called out to Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, do you think I've been exposed?"
"That's impossible, host." Qiuqiu didn't think so. "Is Xu Shiyue deliberately testing you? Or does she think you are mentally ill?"
"?"
Lu Shizhen felt that Qiuqiu's words were a bit insulting and accepted it, with a question mark on his head.
Qiuqiu also found that some of the words she spoke overlapped with those in the human system, and hurriedly explained: "It's not the host. Mental illness refers to a serious psychological disorder, just like the protagonist in the book in Xu Shiyue's hand."
"Didn't I explain this to you before? Xu Shiyue is different from you. She doesn't have that much knowledge. Compared to traveling through a book, which is a bit mysterious to you humans, she prefers to use scientific methods to explain and explore some things."
Qiuqiu deduced: "Although your influence on Xu Shiyue is subtle, from a macro perspective, you are now very different from the original owner."
Lu Shizhen listened to Qiuqiu's words and was about to speak as if she had thought of something, but Qiuqiu stopped her before she could: "Host, even in this case, I cannot ask the main system for the right to modify my memory. This is your task, not our system's."
I really don’t know if it’s because we have developed a tacit understanding after being together for a long time, or if the expression on my face is too obvious, but Qiuqiu saw through it and gave me a warning.
Lu Shizhen didn't want to talk, and turned to look at the window angrily.
She had read so many book-traveling stories, but she had never come across one where the host was not the original protagonist so quickly.
Either they fell in love with each other and didn't notice it at all, or they fell in love with each other over time.
I don't want to hide the protagonist's confession.
Why is this routine different for her
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt as if the entire physics problem had become different simply by changing one known condition.
She is just a poor little girl who has never stepped out of the ivory tower. It's too difficult for her.
Qiuqiu looked at the frustrated Lu Shizhen, floated to her carefully, and said, "Host, don't be angry. If you have nowhere to vent, then scold me."
"Why should I scold you? You're just a working class guy." Lu Shizhen held his chin with his hand, his voice vague in his heart.
She just watched the street lights flying past her sight, her thoughts flowing through her heavy eyes.
Rather than complaining about it, she looked at Qiuqiu and asked, "I have a question now. What will happen if Xu Shiyue knows my identity?"
"According to the system rules, the host is strictly forbidden to reveal his identity to anyone in the system world, because the characters in the system world are different from the host." Qiuqiu was rarely concise. "If they knew that he was just the protagonist of Truman's World, the world would probably collapse like Truman's World."
Qiuqiu paused for a moment and leaned close to Lu Shizhen's ear and said, "But my senior told me that there is a gray area in the system, which means that the Lord God cannot monitor the protagonist's thoughts through the system. That is why the host needs to be intervened to guide and maintain the stability of the world story."
"So I think that if the world does not collapse after the protagonist knows the identity of the host, the main system will not be aware of the exposure of the host's identity, and naturally there will be no punishment."
Lu Shizhen listened and nodded thoughtfully, and deduced: "So for your system, the most important thing is not the protagonist, but maintaining the stability of the world."
“You can say that.” Qiuqiu admitted.
"Ah~" Lu Shizhen suddenly felt relieved, and the voice in his heart couldn't help but make a sound.
But before she could finish her sigh, she felt a gaze looking towards her.
It’s Xu Shiyue.
Lu Shizhen opened her mouth slightly and hurriedly turned her voice into a sneeze: "Chiu."
Then she shrank her neck as if nothing had happened, rubbed her nose and asked, "It's a bit cold, do you feel it?"
"Not bad." Xu Shiyue replied calmly, but her eyes darkened a little.
.
The band competition date was set for next Saturday. As the day drew closer, Lu Shizhen took Xu Shiyue to school for rehearsal every day.
I don’t know if it’s because of the intense rehearsal or because my acting skills have been effective these days, but Lu Shizhen hasn’t seen Xu Shiyue watch “Twenty-Four Billy” these days.
Time flies, and Saturday is here in the blink of an eye.
Late autumn is about to turn into winter, and the scenery outside the window is becoming increasingly bleak, but it is a rare moment when the sun does not hide and shines brightly on the earth.
The sunlight shines into the room, covering it with golden color.
Lu Shizhen turned over in bed holding the cat and bug pillow, opened his eyes lazily and took out his cell phone.
The clock advanced by 59, and the time displayed on the cell phone was exactly eight o'clock.
Is there anything better than waking up in the morning and realizing it’s still early for the weekend
Lu Shizhen thought that she didn't have any. It was a rare opportunity for her to stay in bed, so she rolled over in bed again. Unexpectedly, she heard a soft voice from outside the door: "My dear daughter, are you awake?"
"Mom?" Lu Shizhen was a little surprised.
But what surprised her even more was that Lu Shien jumped out from behind Cheng Meiyan: "And Shien."
Surprise turned into surprise. Lu Shizhen sat up from the bed holding the quilt: "Why are you here?"
"You're still shy now that you've grown up? You've seen everything your mother looked like when you were a child." Cheng Meiyan looked at Lu Shizhen pulling the quilt with a bit of disappointment, and she lifted it up for her without mercy, patted her leg, and said, "Hurry up and get up, change your clothes, and go out with your mother."
Lu Shizhen was a little confused: "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the mall." Cheng Meiyan said, "Isn't Shiyue going to participate in the competition next week? The chief's clothes are different from those of the band members. She needs to wear a dress. Shiyue didn't bring a dress to our house. Even if she did, we can't let her wear an old dress."
"Go ahead, mom wants to take her to buy a new set of shoes and jewelry."
"And me! Our school is having a celebration party tomorrow, and I'm going to dress up for the event." Lu Shien added with a smile.
But for her, buying the dress was fake, and taking the opportunity to find Lu Shizhen was real.
"There's one for you, too. I just saw a black tulle skirt that I liked, but I'm not tall enough and I don't want to wear high heels recently. You can try it on, it will definitely suit you." Cheng Meiyan treated everyone equally and raised her hand to rub Lu Shizhen's head.
Unlike other parents, Cheng Meiyan has always been carefree and has a kind of free and easy spirit that other wealthy wives do not have.
To be honest, Lu Shizhen didn't really feel that much strangeness or distance towards her. The soft hands rubbing her head without any pity made her even have the urge to get closer to her mother.
She had never been treated like this before.
Lu Shizhen's eyes darkened for a moment, then she raised the corners of her lips and smiled at Cheng Meiyan, "Thank you, Mom."
Cheng Meiyan was stunned for a moment, and was somewhat pleased by Lu Shizhen's smile, and her smile became even stronger: "Oh, why is our Zhenzhen so shy?"
Lu Shizhen changed her clothes quickly, and the family of three went downstairs quickly.
Lu Shien stood next to Lu Shizhen and whispered to Cheng Meiyan with her back to him, "Sister, I asked Sun Mengmeng yesterday, and she said she can reserve a day for us next month. When is sister free?"
Lu Shizhen looked at his own zero horse riding skills and said procrastinatingly: "Let me take a look. I'm a bit busy recently."
"Is it because of Xu Shiyue?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lu Shien's eyes, and his possessive and rejecting emotions were particularly strong.
Of course Lu Shizhen knew what the little guy was thinking and felt a bit of a headache.
She didn't want Lu Shien to mature too early, and she didn't want to bring hatred to Xu Shiyue, so she immediately said, "What are you thinking about? Your sister, I don't want to study? There's an exam coming up soon. If I don't do well in the exam, my mother will be angry. You too, focus more on studying, okay?"
"Of course I know." Lu Shien was convinced, and his dissatisfaction immediately turned into happiness. He took Lu Shizhen's arm and stuck close to her, "Sister, you should also take care of your health."
"... Yeah." Lu Shizhen nodded.
She was not used to such intimate interactions, nor did she know how to handle such things, and her movements were a little stiff.
Coincidentally, just after coming down from upstairs, she saw Xu Shiyue sitting at the dining table having breakfast as usual.
The long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, slightly curled and reflecting the sparkling morning light.
I don’t know if it’s because of the sunlight, or because the person in the picture is Xu Shiyue, but such an ordinary corner is given the luster of an oil painting. With Xu Shiyue as the center, it looks quiet and beautiful from afar.
Lu Shizhen looked at it and suddenly realized that after several contacts with Xu Shiyue, she never felt the same as she did now when she was in contact with Lu Shien.
How strange…
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen wanted even more to get rid of Lu Shien's habit of being intimate with the original owner.
She pulled her arm out without leaving a trace, pretended to get breakfast and walked to the dining table, and naturally greeted Xu Shiyue: "Morning."
"Good morning." Xu Shiyue responded calmly, and then ate the last bite of the sandwich in his hand.
Wind blew in from the slightly open window and penetrated Lu Shizhen's collar, making her shiver.
I don’t know why, but Lu Shizhen felt that Xu Shiyue’s greeting today was a little cold.
But the wind hadn't stopped yet, so she tightened her collar, thinking that it might be because she wasn't wearing enough today.
But before Lu Shizhen could figure out the reason, the system broadcast sounded in her mind: "-5"
"… "
Lu Shizhen couldn't help but froze while holding the sandwich, and his gaze unconsciously stopped on Xu Shiyue.
But the man still held the milk cup in front of him slowly and calmly, and it was hard to tell that he was unhappy at all.
Could it be that Xu Shiyue is in a bad mood when he wakes up
Then today I was unlucky and ran into the gun barrel
Not really
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt somewhat innocent, and also felt that Xu Shiyue and even the system should not be so careless.
But before she could make any more judgment, Cheng Meiyan's voice came from behind her with a smile: "Okay, stop looking. Take your sandwiches and get in the car. There is a high risk of traffic jams on weekends. We have to leave early."
Such a sudden revelation coupled with some ambiguity&#
30340; Lu Shizhen's face suddenly turned red when he heard the teasing.
She hurriedly looked at Xu Shiyue and then turned to look at Cheng Meiyan. Just as she was about to explain, she was pushed away by her.
The figure walked back and forth in Xu Shiyue's sight. After drinking the last sip of milk, she slowly stood up from her seat.
Yuanzi stopped beside her familiarly, waiting for his master. She also bent down and held the slightly cool traction handle as usual.
He just raised his eyes a little more calmly and looked at Lu Shien who was standing at the entrance without leaving any trace.
That familiar yet still strange feeling churned and weighed on Xu Shiyue's heart once again.
She didn't like this feeling.
This gave her the illusion of being out of control.
Cheng Meiyan did not drive her Porsche, but replaced it with a relatively restrained Maybach.
Because Xu Shiyue had eye problems, she and Yuanzi were the first to get on the bus.
Lu Shizhen has copied many luxury car models, so of course he knows that this Maybach is rare.
But just as she was following closely, looking forward to going to the passenger seat to enjoy the luxury car treatment, she found that the passenger door could not be opened.
The passenger window slowly rolled down, Cheng Meiyan tilted her head back a little, and said in a low and somewhat angry voice: "Why are you sitting in the front? Go sit in the back with my daughter-in-law.":,,.
