Unexpectedly, in so many deviating plots, Xue Mian's line has never deviated from both his relationship and his career.
On the way to the mission location, Song Xuanhe suddenly felt that many things in this world are very interesting, such as his inexplicable arrival, such as the difference between Xiao Yuanmu's real existence and the book, and no matter how many changes have taken place, Some things have always been developing in the direction that should have happened.
Song Xuanhe couldn't help being a little confused, in fact, he has been confused since the first day he came to this world.
Why did the system choose him to come to this world? Was it really just because of a problem with his body that the system said it chose to find him
People are born and die every second in this world. If it is really because of this reason, Song Xuanhe thinks that the system can have more choices. He is not the one who needs to continue his life most urgently, nor is he the most suitable for completing tasks step by step. So he always thought that there should be deeper reasons for the system to choose him.
It’s just that he’s been talking side-by-side before. Sometimes the system doesn’t seem very smart, but it won’t reveal a single word when it really asks the key questions. At this time, it’s the last non-main task that isn’t too important. Song Xuan and I feel that if I still can't ask anything now, maybe until he has to choose to leave or stay, he won't be able to know the real reason why he came to this world.
And for this real reason, Song Xuan and intuition are very important to him.
[In the book, do those seven people really like Xiao Yuanmu? ] Song Xuanhe suddenly asked in his mind.
The system said: [In the book, they are all Xiao Yuanmu's suitors.]
Song Xuanhe kept walking, staring directly at the stretch of woods in front of him, with no expression on his face, his eyes flickered when he heard the system's answer, and said: [Just a suitor?]
The system was silent for a while, and asked: [Is there any conflict between the suitor and liking him?]
Song Xuanhe replied: [There is no conflict, but there is a difference. Liking means wanting to be with Xiao Yuanmu no matter what. There are many kinds of suitors. It may be because of liking or for profit.]
[Everything in the book is based on the author's description and settings.]The system said: [I can't analyze the difference between liking and pursuit you mentioned. If you want to know, you can only analyze it yourself.]
Song Xuanhe didn't need to analyze at all, in fact, the moment he asked the system, he suddenly figured it out.
Before, he always found it strange that even if it was the butterfly effect, even if Xiao Yuanmu was a little different from the book, it would be difficult for a person to like another person because of these objective factors. He directly made Xiao Yuanmu's other six suitors give up their pursuit, and it was difficult to see even a trace of their liking for Xiao Yuanmu.
Since it is impossible to cause such a big change because of his appearance, the answer is very obvious - even in the book, they didn't like Xiao Yuanmu very much.
When Song Xuanhe was reading the book, because he had just entered this world, and because he knew his physical condition, he was not in a good mood, so even if he read the whole book once, he only read the key points.
For him at that time, the focus was only on the early stage of the original owner's appearance and the later stage of the original owner's existence, as well as the main plot of the whole book around Xiao Yuanmu's career struggle.
Although the name of "The President and His Seven Boyfriends" looks like a pornographic love novel, in fact the main core has always been the protagonist's career line. Apart from the career line, the interest entanglements between the Xiao family and several other families It takes up a lot of space, and many other plots that have nothing to do with career have only been briefly mentioned, and the writing of love is very rough. After all, there are seven suitors. If each one is written in detail, the interactive author alone will I can write a million words.
Moreover, Song Xuanhe has no interest in the love process of the protagonist. Basically, he has roughly sketched the emotional lines that are not the main plot, but even so, he still remembers the interaction between Xiao Yuanmu and other suitors in the book Sometimes, most of them start with business, such as Hussman and Zhang Siwei, they are both Xiao Yuanmu's partners.
Therefore, as "suitors", the author describes their pursuit of Xiao Yuanmu in the most straightforward way: mutual benefit and cooperation, dating means eating together and discussing work, romance means working together to obtain the greatest benefit, and there will be no more, if it is not for the author It clearly states that they are pursuing Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xuanhe will definitely think that they and Xiao Yuanmu are just partners.
As it turns out, they're really just partners.
Zhang Siwei and Hussman's pursuit of Xiao Yuanmu was mostly because they planned to join forces to gain more bargaining chips for the company or the family; Yu Yan was at the saddest time of breaking up, and he probably regarded Xiao Yuanmu as "" The best way to forget the old man is to start a new relationship" is the best candidate; while Guan Zhi pursues Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xuanhe seriously suspects that it is because he can't find a cook who cooks better than Xiao Yuanmu. I want to join in the fun and feel that once I get married, I can eat Xiao Yuanmu's cooking every day.
Excluding these four people, among the remaining three people, Wei Chen might have been for cooperation at the beginning. After all, the relationship between Wei Chen and Xiao Yuanmu has not been very good in reality, and the possibility of being attracted by personality and appearance is extremely small. Xue Mian On the other hand, his face control is consistent, so on the premise that Xiao Yuanmu's face remains unchanged, Xue Mian is also consistent with Xiao Yuanmu.
After all the calculations, there is still one person missing.
Song Xuanhe recalled the name of the last person in the book, frowned and said: [You said that I have communicated with Hao Ke, but I have no memory at all, when exactly, why didn't you remind me then.]
[I didn't know at the time.]The system said: [Hao Ke used someone else's account to contact you. I only found out after the later system upgrade.]
[When was that communication?]Song Xuan communicated quite a lot with strangers who had nothing to do with the original owner, and there were only a few times that left a deep impression on him, but it didn't look like Hao Ke no matter what.
In the book, Hao Ke is a hacker. It is described in the book that he is more than 1.9 meters tall, a little taller than Xiao Yuanmu. His skin is very fair because he has not seen the light all year round. He is tall, thin and cold, and has a handsome appearance.
Song Xuan and Silai thought about it, but they didn't find such a person in their memory. Not to mention anything else, it is very easy to recognize that they are over 1.9 meters tall. Subconsciously stayed for a second longer, but he had never seen anyone taller than 1.9 meters.
[I really met him?]Song Xuanhe doubted.
The system said: [You have communicated.]
Just had an exchange...
Song Xuanhe was thoughtful, and after a few seconds, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice that was so calm that he couldn't hear any emotion: "There are wild beasts ahead, don't go if you don't want to die."
He paused, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a tall and thin young man carrying a mountaineering bag standing only two steps away from him, with lowered eyes, looking down at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed.
"Then what did you do in the past?" Song Xuanhe took a look at the equipment on his body, and said, "I see that you don't look like you came out from here, but you seem to be going in."
"I'm going in." The tall and thin young man said lightly, "Because I can come out alive."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know I can't come out alive?"
The young man's eyes swept over him, and finally fell on his fair and slender hand, which had not done heavy work and had no combat power at first glance, and the brows were slightly raised like he just did, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Song Xuanhe naturally understood the sarcasm in his eyes, and didn't care, and said with a smile: "There are indeed wild animals here, but I came here to see wild animals."
The young man frowned. He didn't expect that after he reminded him, not only would he not leave, but he would also say something that would endanger his life so easily and freely. However, as a stranger, he had already done his best to remind a stranger. The young master in front of him who seemed powerless really wanted to go in, and it was none of his business if he died.
Thinking of this, the young man glanced at him lightly, then turned and walked into the forest.
Song Xuanhe glanced at his back, frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "I just mentioned 1.9 meters, and I met a 1.9 meters in front of me."
When the system heard that he wanted to say something, he saw that Song Xuanhe had already stepped into the woods and walked straight into the depths of the woods.
The trees in the woods are full of branches and leaves. It is almost noon at this time, but the branches and leaves above the head cover the sun in sevens and eighties, leaving only sporadic beams of light sprinkled from the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a touch of light to the land full of fallen leaves. bright colors.
The book only said that the original owner appeared in a cabin deep in the woods, and was seen by hunters near the woods, so Song Xuanhe also walked in that direction.
Maybe because it was still daytime, wild animals mostly came out at nocturnal, so all the way to the cabin in the forest, Song Xuanhe only saw a few small animals that could not tell what they were, and there was no danger.
According to the book, the last time the hunter saw the original owner was in the evening near night. In fact, that was the first day the original owner was thrown here by his benefactor. At that time, the original owner's legs were broken and thrown here, probably for For fun, Lu Chao asked the man to put some food around the wooden house and the wooden house, just to see how the original owner, who was unable to move, would climb out to look for food when he was starving.
The original owner has lived alone in this wooden house for nearly a month, relying on very little water and food to sustain life every day, and at night, he is frightened by the movement and calls of wild animals outside, making it difficult to sleep, and the occasional drug addiction attack is even more tormented. Under such physical and psychological torture, he didn't dare to step out of the wooden house at all. Probably at the beginning, the original owner didn't realize that those people didn't just want to ridicule and insult him, thinking that they just wanted to see how embarrassed he was.
It wasn't until all the food was eaten and those people hadn't appeared that the original owner really realized how dangerous his situation was, so he chose to leave the wooden house. However, the window of the wooden house was boarded up at that time, making him unable to tell Day and night, so he can only judge whether there is danger outside by the sound, but he didn't expect that when he finally opened the door, it was already dark.
The food that those people put outside was not the simple video in the wooden house at all, but some raw or cooked meat. After those beasts found meat nearby, they had the habit of coming here to forage, and the original owner Because of the inconvenient movement, the movements of eating or drug addiction are not small, and those beasts already know that there are prey in the house.
It's just that the hunters with wooden warehouses lived here before, and the beasts with basic wisdom didn't choose to break in, but waited and hibernated all the time. I didn't expect them to wait so smoothly and couldn't struggle at all. prey.
Song Xuanhe stood in front of the wooden house, looking at the wooden ladder in front of the door. In the book, the original owner was dragged away by wild beasts on this ladder.
[There are about three or four hours before the hunter comes over.]The system said: [Why don't you enter the house and wait, this forest seems a little dangerous.]
Song Xuanhe glanced at the open space around the wooden house, and said lightly: [What are you afraid of, I'm not alone.]
The system was stunned for a moment, and only then did it remember that Xiao Yuanmu's people had been following Song Xuanhe, but thinking of the original owner's ending, it still persuaded: [Even if this is the case, it's safer for you to enter the house.]
Song Xuanhe didn't intend to seek death here. Hearing what the system said, he also planned to go into the wooden house to have a look. However, just as he lifted his leg, he saw the figure of the tall and thin young man he had seen outside the forest before, heading towards the forest. Go deep.
Thinking of his reminder just now, Song Xuanhe thought about it, but still took a few quick steps to catch up.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man turned his head to look in surprise, and frowned when he saw Song Xuanhe approaching, and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"You said it yourself, there are wild beasts inside." Song Xuan said softly, "I advise you not to wander around inside."
The young man glanced at him and said: "I came here to find wild animals. This is not considered a deep forest, and generally no wild animals come here. If you just stay here, there should be no danger. Don't go in again."
After speaking, the young man turned and left.
Song Xuan and Wen Yan paused, and said, "Under what circumstances would the beast come here?"
The young man paused, then turned around and said, "Unless there is no food in the forest, or there is something attracting them nearby, but as I said, this possibility is not high."
He pointed to Song Xuan and the wooden house behind him, and said: "The hunter's house will put some drugs or traps to drive away the beasts. The beasts will not come if they smell the smell they don't like, and here is near the periphery, the prey will instead There are not as many inner circles, so they rarely come here, you can stay here at ease and don't go deeper."
If it was just to answer questions, the young man actually didn’t need such an explanatory explanation at all. Song Xuanhe saw his indifferent kindness and asked, “Then what are you going in for? Are you not afraid of danger?”
"I raised a few lion cubs for some reasons before." The young man said lightly, "They all live here, and I visit them every year, and I will live here for a while by the way."
Song Xuanhe was taken aback, and suddenly thought of the passer-by who found the body of the original owner in the book. The book only briefly mentioned that person, but he felt that it was very likely that it was the person in front of him.
Thinking of the wounded passer-by mentioned in the book, Song Xuanhe reminded: "Although it is a pet that I have raised before, wild beasts are wild after all. You'd better go and have a look and come back."
The young man's eyes turned cold when he heard the words, and said: "Animals remember human feelings more than humans. If you know the danger inside, don't go in again."
Seeing the back of him leaving straight away again, Song Xuanhe frowned, but still called out, "Hello."
The young man stopped again and looked at Song Xuanhe with obvious impatience in his eyes.
"Hold it." Song Xuanhe pulled out a wooden warehouse from his back and threw it to him, "You know how to use it, keep it for self-defense."
Seeing the small wooden warehouse in his hand, the young man was shocked and said, "Do you have a wooden warehouse?"
"This is what I said I can protect myself." Song Xuanhe said lightly: "Now I give it to you, remember to protect yourself."
"Then what do you do?" the young man asked.
"You also said that there is no danger outside." Song Xuan said softly, "I'll take some photos nearby and leave."
The young man held onto the wooden warehouse, and returned it to Song Xuanhe in silence for a while, saying: "I raise a little lion that won't hurt me, and I don't know how to use this thing either. You can take it yourself."
Song Xuanhe curled his lips and said, "I don't believe that people who have raised wild lion cubs don't know how to use a wooden barn."
The young man paused, and said: "I can't take your wooden warehouse. Although the danger outside is less, it doesn't mean there is no danger. You can have a little more security with the wooden warehouse."
"It's more dangerous inside than outside." Seeing his insistence, Song Xuanhe said, "Can you make sure that the little lion you raise is not a white-eyed wolf? There are real wolves in the woods. Besides wolves, there are other animals, right?" , are you sure that even with those animals, you are absolutely safe?"
After being told by Song Xuanhe, the young man also hesitated for a moment. He did come here every year for a period of time before, but he didn’t come here last year because of something, so he couldn’t say he had an absolute understanding of the situation in the forest at this time. If If there is a wooden warehouse for self-defense, it will indeed give him more security.
"You only take pictures outside?" The young man pondered for a moment and said, "And you will leave before evening?"
Song Xuanhe nodded: "Yes."
"I'll accompany you." The young man said, "I'll go in after you leave."
"The forest is dangerous after dark."
Song Xuanhe is not a very kind person, he even gave the wooden warehouse to a stranger because he still has a spare on him, and he knows that Xiao Yuanmu's people are behind him, but he looks cold and warm in front of him. Thinking that he might be the one who found the body of the original owner in the book, Song Xuanhe couldn't let him go in without any precautions when he knew he would be injured.
It's just that the young man's expression is persistent, and it seems that there is no other way.
"Stay here for one night before going in." Song Xuan said softly, "I'll leave in the evening, and you can sleep in that wooden house for one night."
The young man glanced at the wooden house, thought for a while and agreed.
Song Xuanhe’s coming in to take pictures is actually just an excuse. Although he likes photography, there is really nothing to photograph in this kind of woods. If he really wants to take pictures of jungle scenery, he can also take pictures of the nearby Daxing’an Mountains, not to mention the far Amazon. There's no point in coming here.
But the words have already been spoken, and it is estimated that they have already reached Xiao Yuanmu's ears, and now there is another person following him, so he pretends to be choking as an excuse.
Song Xuanhe took a camera and paced in the woods.
The young man followed behind him step by step, like a dedicated bodyguard.
Song Xuanhe stepped on the dry leaves, and there was a crackling sound on the ground. The young man followed behind him, and the sound of footsteps followed.
"Don't follow me."
Except for Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xuanhe hates anyone who gets close to him, regardless of gender.
"There are snakes nearby." The young man said lightly, "Where you walked just now, there was a poisonous snake hanging on a tree."
Song Xuanhe naturally saw it, and there was a systematic reminder in his mind.
"I saw it." Song Xuanhe said: "I will pay attention to myself, you stay away from me, if a man gets close to me, I will want to beat him."
The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, he took a step back, and explained: "I followed you only because of this wooden warehouse. I don't mean anything to you."
Song Xuanhe glanced at him and said lightly, "Then stay away from me."
The young man stood where he was, looking at him quietly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, as if saying that he didn't want to get too close to him.
Song Xuanhe was very satisfied that the two reached a consensus, picked up the camera and turned around to find the angle.
Although it is just an excuse to come in and take pictures, for designers who like photography and once majored in courses about discovering beauty, it is too easy to find good-looking photos in such a primitive jungle.
Soon Song Xuanhe really devoted himself to photography, ignoring the external environment and time.
It wasn't until a wooden barn sound exploded in his ears that he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at the young man behind him.
The young man raised his hand and pointed at Song Xuanhe's feet half a meter away. A thick cobra was shot through its head and died there.
"Mu Cang's method is good." Song Xuanhe was very calm, and even praised him.
[I reminded you three times in your mind!]The system also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: [Fortunately, Hao Ke saw it, otherwise if you were bitten by a snake at this time, even if Xiao Yuanmu's people were outside, the possibility of you being rescued would not be great.]
Song Xuanhe raised his eyes suddenly: "Hao Ke?"
The young man who came over to check the situation paused, his brows frowned a little, and doubts appeared in his eyes: "How do you know my name?"
"What name?" Song Xuan and Qing Che asked with a hint of fear in their eyes, "It was scary just now, thank you very much."
Hao Ke said blankly: "You didn't look like you were scary just now, and you praised me for my good marksmanship."
"I won't be relieved for a while." Song Xuanhe said: "But when I say scary, I just say it casually. The point is to thank you."
Fooled by Song Xuanhe's attitude of not caring about changing his words, Hao Ke was not sure whether it was his name or "terrible" that he called just now. He pursed his lips, looked at his watch, and said : "It's already five o'clock, and it's evening, you should leave the woods."
Song Xuanhe paused for a moment, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a cold figure walking towards Xiao Yuanmu, who met Xiao Yuanmu's piercing and angry eyes, and nodded: "The snakes in this forest are really scary. , my boyfriend is here, thank you for saving me, let’s go first.”
After finishing speaking, Song Xuanhe walked towards Xiao Yuanmu, ignored his cold expression, grabbed his hand and walked out: "Don't go there."
Xiao Yuanmu stood still, with a cold light in his dark eyes: "Song Xuanhe, do you want to go wherever the danger is, even if you know that I will worry, you don't care at all, or you say you like me? It's just talking, I never thought of being with me for a long time."
