Survivorship Bias

Chapter 122: be honest and open

Views:

After saying this, An Wujiu became embarrassed after realizing it.

Is it too direct...

Shen Ti didn't come over, but still maintained the posture of resting his chin on his hand, stretched out his hand towards him, hooked his index finger around An Wujiu's collar, "You said that."

An Wujiu grabbed his finger and admitted, "That's right." He curled his lips, "And I know, you think so too."

His subtle expressions are the shining details of a perfect work. No matter in those cruel games or in reality, he is impeccable and well-planned, and everything seems to be under his control.

But Shen Ti can see An Wujiu's inner brokenness through this perfect work. This kind of brokenness may not be healed in a lifetime. In the past, he participated behind the scenes without five senses and no human consciousness, but he only participated in it. , He didn't think he had helped An Wujiu, or comforted him.

Shen Ti would even think negatively, maybe another one, any natural, supernatural being that appeared at that time, maybe that An Wujiu who had nothing would be grateful.

"What are you thinking?"

Hearing An Wujiu's question, Shen Ti came back to his senses, smiled, held his hand again, and said in a joking tone: "I'm wondering if I should use it or not?"

An Wujiu picked up the glass, took a sip of the accompanying wine, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Actually, if you feel powerless, you can use it, I don't mind."

Overwhelmed?

Shen Ti was choked by him all of a sudden, and he stopped resting his chin, turned his head to look at An Wujiu's face, "You have changed again."

"No," An Wujiu said with a smile on his face, "I am always like this, the good is me, and the bad is also me."

An Wujiu raised his hand and summoned the waiter, and it was a coincidence that it was the boy who accidentally bumped into him just now.

The other party tried to squeeze a professional smile on his face, and came to the two of them.

"Check out, thank you." An Wujiu said politely.

Shen Ti has no eyesight, or he has not fully learned this complex human social technology.

"Almost forgot about me, who did you just say was powerless?"

The waiter's smile didn't move, but a pair of eyebrows still raised uncontrollably, his eyes widened, and he lowered his head and handed over the bill.

An Wujiu didn't realize anything at first, he took the electronic bill from the waiter without looking back, and said casually, "You."

Shen Ti immediately acted as aggrieved and pitiful, "I used to say that he is great, but I got tired of it so quickly. When I pushed it to me, we only had one time. It's not so fast to like the new and dislike the old."

When An Wujiu heard this, he immediately turned his head and glared at him, Shen Ti's pitiful and innocent look made him want to cover his mouth.

It took about two or three seconds before An Wujiu suddenly realized that there was a waiter standing beside them. He turned back immediately, smiled at the waiter with a little embarrassment, paid the bill, and returned the bill to him, "Thank you."

The waiter's face became stiff due to maintaining an expression, and he couldn't hide his embarrassed eyes, so he could only lower his head and retract his hands, "You're welcome, sir. That... tell me if you have any other needs, and I will help you Serving two."

"No more trouble." Shen Ti hugged An Wujiu's neck, smiled and said to the waiter, "We are going to go upstairs to the hotel now."

"Ah..." The other party smiled dryly, and the expression on his face seemed to become more awkward, "Then, then I wish you two a pleasant night."

An Wujiu felt that there was another reason for his embarrassment, until the two of them left the restaurant, followed the instructions to go up to the third floor, and saw a pink neon billboard at the entrance of the hotel around the corner, which was very similar to the shop selling big health supplies The decoration suddenly became clear.

This is the second time they have gone to a love hotel by mistake.

A tricky hotel.

The two little girls at the front desk saw them and came out to greet them enthusiastically, "Welcome! Please come in, please come in!"

It's not easy to run now.

"Are you two staying here? We have many kinds of rooms and services here. You can take a look at this." One of the little girls clicked, and various rooms were immediately displayed on the counter, all of which had themes Yes, what public aircraft, wards, and even prisons...

"No need." An Wujiu raised his head, "I want the most common room."

The little girl immediately caught the key point keenly, and her eyes lit up, "One room? Is there only one room?"

Shen Ti immediately hugged An Wujiu's waist, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll check you in right away!" The little girl handled it quickly with her hands and feet, "Okay, please take another step forward, just swipe the citizen chips of the two of you again."

An Wujiu suddenly thought that Shen Ti hadn't done it yet, "May I ask if it's okay to only register one person?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, thinking at the speed of light for a short time which of the two people in front of her didn't have a chip.

Most people don’t have it. Could it be that one of them is…

"Oh, is it really not possible?" Shen Ti began to display his acting skills again, pretending to be an innocent and pitiful little milk dog, leaning on An Wujiu's body, looking at the little sister at the front desk, "But this gentleman I have already paid the money just now. I can’t stop doing business. I have five younger brothers and sisters to support. Look, it’s still raining heavily outside. Otherwise, I’ll swipe this gentleman’s card as if there’s only one person to open the room. ?”

After this combination of punches, An Wujiu almost laughed out loud.

The little sister turned her head and looked at the other little sister who was eating melon in shock, then craned her neck to look around, "Okay then, I'll open a back door for you, don't tell our manager."

"Don't worry." Shen Ti showed a charming smile, "Of course I understand this kind of thing, thank you little beauty."

The other party shook his head, "Good night!"

The two turned around and were walking towards the hotel. The little sister who had been eating melons in the back suddenly said, "Big handsome guy, how much do you pay for a night?"

As Shen Ti walked forward, he waved to the two little girls behind him, "I'm sorry, I was bought by him."

The room is much better than the previous one, and the facilities are very new, but it can't be called an "ordinary" room. After all, there are five kinds of lights, a sunken extra-large double bed, a mirrored ceiling, and the floor is covered with The moment they opened the door, the electronic management system in the room began to automatically play romantic music and asked about the mode.

"Please choose: 1. Normal mode; 2. Tenderness mode; 3. Passionate mode..."

Before Shen Ti could speak, An Wujiu immediately replied: "Normal mode."

"Okay, room mode is being set up for you."

An Wujiu closed the door, and when he turned around again, Shen Ti held him by the shoulders, leaned against the wall and kissed. Shen Ti's kiss is completely opposite to An Wujiu's choice, full of straightforward suppression, desire and demand.

It just so happened that he was a person who wanted anything and everything from Shen Ti, and he would go off at the slightest touch, instantly igniting it.

They just kissed, hugged, came to the sunken bed, hugged each other without any scruples, and fell into the sunken bed.

An Wujiu temporarily put aside those painful memories that she was carrying, and plunged deeply into the deep and heavy love. Walking between life and death, his tense nerves were finally relaxed, completely relaxed and vented, just like the torrential rain pouring out of the window.

Between the kisses, in the staggered breathing of the two lovers, Shen Ti kept saying that he loved him.

"I love you, love you very much."

He wished he could hold a sincere heart in front of An Wujiu and dedicate it to him, if he had one.

"I love you," he stopped this time, looked into An Wujiu's eyes, and asked seriously, "Can you feel it?"

Shen Ti does not feel that he is inferior to any human being, but he once worried that he would not be able to achieve the true understanding and love of human beings.

He didn't regard An Wujiu as a believer who was forced to rely on him when he was weak. On the contrary, Shen Ti knew that it was because of An Wujiu that he learned to empathize and love, no matter who he was at that time or in that form. He is still the current self, An Wujiu is special to him.

He wished he could express it all, in a human way.

An Wujiu showed a gentle smile, looked into Shen Ti's charming eyes, stretched out his hand, and held his side face, "Of course, of course I know. And I know you understand my heart, right?"

Can't explain why, Shen Ti seemed to be hit, he nodded, fell down slowly, and buried his head in An Wujiu's shoulder.

An Wujiu kissed the top of his head and stroked him, the fire that had been calmed down burned again, surrounding the two of them. Those endless cold rains turned into hot sweat on the skin, becoming sticky, and the hot water vapor wrapped everything.

The mirror made An Wujiu find it easy to let go, perhaps because extreme sensory experience can suppress everything and crush those fears that daunt him. He was afraid that he would really not find his sister, or find out a terrible fact, and he was also afraid that any of his companions would leave, and he was afraid that Shen Ti would disappear into the world.

Only in Shen Ti's arms, he can choose happiness and joy without fear. This is a dose of anesthesia that only he can prescribe in the world.

The rain didn't stop until midnight.

And they discovered it belatedly.

An Wujiu felt like a sponge soaked and swollen by sea water, and the water dripped down with a slight squeeze. Shen Ti hugged him from behind, giving him a great sense of security.

"Are you asleep?" An Wujiu asked him angrily.

"Can't sleep." Shen Ti lowered his head and kissed the back of his neck tenderly, as if he still had nostalgia for it, "What? Do you think I can't do what I want?"

"I really hold grudges." An Wujiu whispered.

"That's right." Shen Ti hugged him even tighter, "Not only does he hold grudges, but he's also narrow-minded."

An Wujiu smiled, and suddenly thought of Shen Ti's dazed look in the restaurant before, he knew that Shen Ti had covered it up with a joke at that time.

"When I was in the restaurant, I asked you why you were in a daze, but you didn't answer me properly at that time." He turned around in Shen Ti's arms, stared at Shen Ti in the night, his eyes were moist and bright.

"Hmm..." Shen Ti thought for a while, not remembering, but thinking about whether to say it or not.

But he suddenly remembered a sentence that someone said, honesty is the most important rule of love, so he obeyed it.

He asked An Wujiu, "When did you fall in love with me? I used..." He raised his hand and put it under his face, "... appeared in front of you in this way, or was it before?"

Of course he knew that when they met in the game, they both lost part of their memories, and they fell in love before they picked up the memories.

No, the past experience can't even be called a memory. He is not a human being who met and contacted An Wujiu on an equal footing. phantom.

"Afterwards." An Wujiu didn't think for too long, this was not a problem for him to consider, "Probably in the second copy we met, although when I saw you, I felt that your appearance was very suitable for me. preference, but in the second game, I felt differently about you."

He said it very accurately, and he could even reproduce the scene in his mind at that time, for example, when Shen Ti, who had been making jokes all the time, lost his temper at him when he saw him cross the molten cliff for the bottom of the crowd.

Hearing this answer, Shen Ti was happy.

Smart as if there is no blame, he can see through his heart at a glance, "Are you doubting, whether I am empathizing, transferring the gratitude and dependence on the past you to the present you."

He hooked Shen Ti's neck with both hands, and told him with certainty, "Shen Ti, no, when you appeared in front of me, you appeared as a clever, weird big boy image. Affection is pure love."

"After I think about the past, this love seems to have a sense of fate." He pressed his forehead against Shen Ti's, "We seem to be destined to love each other, don't we?"

A slightly bitter sweetness spread from Shen Ti's body.

"Well." Shen Ti hugged him tightly, thinking of some images in his mind, "Should we buy a house, so that we have a place to stay, and if we can leave the altar smoothly, we also have a home to go back to. "

He hit the softest wish in An Wujiu's heart, which he knew was the hardest to realize.

An Wujiu buried his face in Shen Ti's shoulder, "Okay."

Shen Ti suddenly felt his shoulders wet, and suddenly realized something.

"Are you crying?"

"No."

"Why didn't you cry just now?"

An Wujiu cleared his throat and made his voice normal, "Why did you ruin such a warm moment."

Shen Ti was still immersed in doubts, "I almost cried just now, your voice is crying..."

An Wujiu tried to cover his mouth, but failed, so he simply blocked it with his lips.

It's quiet now, but it seems to be developing in another strange direction.

An Wujiu put his hand on Shen Ti's shoulder in a panic, and Shen Ti stepped back a little bit, still playing the joke, "I won't overcharge you."

An Wujiu grabbed his neck and said solemnly, "My back is sore, I need to rest."

Although Shen Ti was quite unmanned sometimes, and he was not a person himself, but he was obedient, so he lay down obediently.

He covered An Wujiu with the quilt, looked at the ceiling and was quiet for a while.

"I found that I really seem to... not bad looking." Shen Ti suddenly came up with such a feeling.

He finds it amazing that his body, face, hands, and face are all shaped according to the standards in An Wujiu's heart, as if he is a little clay figurine in An Wujiu's hands, squeeze left and right Squeeze and pinch, and finally become a look that An Wujiu thinks looks good.

An Wujiu thought, did this person's eyes just repaired

But after thinking about it, indeed, maybe his aesthetics are a little bit closer to human beings.

So he didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

During Shen Ti's fugue, the little clay figurine in An Wujiu's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered, and a small insect with tentacles crawled out of the shattered soil.

"If I don't look like this," Shen Ti suddenly asked again, "will you still like that scary and ugly monster?"

An Wujiu was not angry when he heard this, but only at this time did he realize that Shen Ti's sense of security was only a little bit, and he was afraid that he didn't love him, and that he would return to the normal real world, not confined to that prison. In the small room of his house, you will feel that another side of him is odious.

But the reality is probably very different from Shen Ti's imagination.

An Wujiu turned his face away, and frankly opened up his folded panic and cherishment.

"As long as you don't disappear, I'm very satisfied, no matter what it looks like."

"So... don't leave me."
