Regarding Shen Chuanyuan's attitude, He Manzhou behaved very delicately.

In all fairness, after so many years of friendship, He Manzhou has been familiar with Shen Chuanyuan since he was in high school, and they don't have any shy away from all kinds of big and small affairs, so they should be very trusting. When He Manzhou was still an ignorant and ignorant secondary school girl, Shen Chuanyuan was ranked as her number one spiritual mentor, and in the early years, I don't know how much I listened to her girl's thoughts and late-night hypocrisy, and also shared countless secrets that now seem to be very light, but they were indeed small secrets back then.

When it comes to the end, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Chuanyuan knows her brain circuits well.

If Shen Chuanyuan really wanted to use He Manzhou, or was prepared to do something with ill intentions, how many decades would he have been playing a big game of chess, and he had been holding back until now.

To put it simply, this is the kind of investment that is completely disproportionate to the return, and it is not the optimal approach.

Not to mention that Shen Chuanyuan is the kind of person who is rational and shrewd, who has to calculate everything carefully, and will not put himself at any disadvantage, no matter how simple a person is, he knows that it is extremely undesirable to harm others and not benefit himself, and the variables of things in the world are so big, waiting is the most unreliable.

Take 10,000 steps back, if Shen Chuanyuan wanted to do something, he could have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today?

But......

He Manzhou really felt that something was wrong.

Especially after He Sheng's disappearance, Shen Chuanyuan didn't seem to have changed at all, and he was still the senior brother who could give his little junior sister to rely on. But on closer inspection, it seems that his behavior does have a certain inexplicable subtlety.

This feeling is difficult to describe, all the strange feelings are just like He Manzhou's intuition, after all, Shen Chuanyuan is still so thoughtful and decent, there is no problem at first glance, and it can even be said that all the behaviors are completely in line with common sense.

However, He Manzhou did feel a little uncomfortable.

Including but not limited to Shen Chuanyuan's silence about He Sheng's disappearance, but in private he paid too much attention to these matters, and even asked about the details of He Manzhou, with a very vague hint of temptation under several cover-ups.

Although He Manzhou is plain and arrogant, it is more because she has a good mentality, never finds trouble for herself, and is a complete optimist.

But in fact, in many things, she is actually extremely delicate and has her own judgment.

For example, when dealing with Shen Chuanyuan.

Digging deeper, perhaps deep down, He Manzhou never thought of doubting Shen Chuanyuan.

This is out of habit and instinctive trust, and to this day, He Manzhou is still willing to admit his dependence on this master brother. But if you really trust that part, you should be able to say everything and entrust each other, why is He Manzhou unwilling to tell Shen Chuanyuan the truth about the real reason for the trip to Wucheng?

People's subconscious actions are a very subtle thing, from the field of psychology, the subconscious mind is enough to reveal a person's secrets, and those blurted out "wrong words" can often reveal the true thoughts in the depths of the heart.

Human beings are often good at self-deception, and many words used to whitewash the peace are just a cover-up, and as for those things that are unintentionally revealed, they are the things that are hidden but real.

Thinking like this, He Manzhou opened his mouth after deliberation.

"I do think Senior Brother Shen is a little strange, but if you say he has a problem, it's serious, right?"

"Trust him, don't want to doubt him?" Bai Yicong raised his eyebrows.

"Of course there is trust, after all, so many years of friendship are there. ”

He Manzhou deeply felt that Bai Yi's sentence was between telling the truth and being a little jealous and unwilling to speak, especially the emotion of the flashing of slightly drooping eyelashes, which was very interesting, and he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of his boyfriend's possessiveness.

However, at this juncture, she didn't have much heart to tease Bai Yicong, and immediately confessed with a strong desire to survive.

"The main reason is that there is no reason, first, Senior Brother Shen doesn't know anything about these things in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and there is no entanglement of interests. Second, after Lao He disappeared, it was already very interesting that he was able to quit his job as an iron rice bowl and specially help me with this mess of Zhang Luotianwentang Museum. He's selfless to this extent, it can't be that he's calculating me, besides, what is he calculating about me, so I guess Senior Brother Shen wants to investigate the reason for my dad's disappearance at most, but there are some things that are not convenient to tell me, so he has something to hide......."

"But what if Shen Chuanyuan knows the secrets of the ancient kingdom of Loulan?"

"What?" He Manzhou was slightly stunned, thought about Bai Yicong's words, and reacted for a few seconds before continuing, "That shouldn't be, I do think that after my father disappeared, especially in the last half a year, Senior Brother Shen behaved mysteriously." But I can still tell who is good to me and who is bad to me, he really doesn't have any intention of harming me, and he doesn't seem to know the secrets of the ancient country of Loulan. ”

He Manzhou frowned slightly, probably thinking about something seriously, and Bai Yicong's gaze stopped at her, although his tone was flat, it had a bit of meaning.

"Sometimes the sincerity is good, but the wrong form of expression can also be counterproductive. ”

"Hey, Bai Yicong, what's going on with you today, why are you so hostile to my Senior Brother Shen?"

Under the successive hints and inspirations, He Manzhou was sluggish, and realized that something was wrong.

She didn't know that her identity was special at this time, and she didn't know Bai Yicong's many considerations, just because she was worried that she would be used as a "container".

Probably because of concern, he didn't want to miss even the slightest bit of wind and grass.

So Miss He felt that something was wrong, and she was completely wrong, so she just raised her eyebrows in a matter-of-fact manner, looked at Bai Yicong playfully, and opened her mouth to ridicule.

"Could it be that the sky is jealous of Zhuma, and I feel that my family status is in jeopardy, so I have a sense of crisis, right? I said Bai Yicong, don't worry, no matter how good my relationship with Shen Chuanyuan is, I can't put all my heart on you, I really like you, I have the kung fu to worry about this, it's better to be more direct and be kind to me." ”

Bai Yicong chuckled lowly, ignoring He Manzhou's hippie smile, just raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head.

He Manzhou: "........"

What's going on with this sense of déjà vu that soothes the critters.

Can the white straight man behave more straightly, am I asking you to coax me like a puppy?

At this time, shouldn't you brew a few soft words or sweet words to make your girlfriend happy?

He Manzhou's smart eyes turned, and the words of protest had already reached his mouth, but he was stubbornly blocked by Bai Yicong's low and beautiful voice.

As if guessing what He Manzhou wanted to say, he opened his mouth straightforwardly.

"Okay, don't talk about this, I'll tell you the story of the little princess first. ”

At this point, He Manzhou's speechlessness became a little thicker. If it weren't for Bai Yi's words mixed with some extremely faint laughter at the end of her words, she would have almost thought that Boss Bai was really as serious as he showed, and she wouldn't be deliberately teasing her.

"This story is also related to that old ballad, so I don't need to explain more. ”

"I know, I've figured it out. ”

He Manzhou was bullied out of his immunity, knowing that he couldn't say that he would simply stop struggling, and he didn't bother to follow Bai Yicong's general knowledge, so he simply turned his grievances into motivation and analyzed, and continued: "The awakening of the little princess, as well as the dragon ball of the Dragon Maiden Temple, doesn't this correspond to the second sentence of the ancient ballad, "Broken faith, return in a desperate situation". According to the method of elimination, the story you are going to talk about now should correspond to the fourth sentence in the ancient ballad - "The division of illusion, illusory and real", right?

"Yes, very smart," Bai Yicong nodded slightly, his side face like a frost was hidden in the sunlight of the airport, looking a little obscure, "In that case, I can tell you the story about the little princess-"

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess, who was the king's favorite daughter, with countless jewels of gold and silver, and her eyes were beautiful sea blue, and pearls and precious stones were adorned with her hair ties. People don't hesitate to describe her in the best words in the world. She is holy, she is innocent, she is all the fantasy of "beauty" that the world can imagine. ”

Bai Yicong's voice was faint, and he told He Manzhou what he heard from his grandfather back then.

But all this came to an end with the catastrophe of the incarnation. ”

"Disaster?" He Manzhou hurriedly asked, "What disaster, did the goddess come to the world?"

"Yes, when the gods of the world came, the whole of Loulan became a victim of the war. Bai Yicong lowered his eyes slightly, and many deeper thoughts were hidden in his eyes, and in the end, he was left silent.

It wasn't until the tragedy that the people of the ancient kingdom of Loulan realized that the words of the high priest were outright lies, and finally the whole country was destroyed, and the bones were piled up all over the city walls. All the good things are torn apart in the ruins, that is the worst side of human nature, in the face of death and disaster, no one will have a good face. In fact, it is not difficult to understand, who would not want to live, so the only thing left between the clansmen of the Wu clan was cannibalism, and finally it fell apart completely.

He Manzhou listened to these silently, only feeling inexplicably empty in his heart.

"There is no record of these cruel past history books, but what the truth is, we have found out now, and I don't need to say more. The hidden misfortune of the Wu clan has remained until now, but it is nothing more than because everything was too tragic in the past and could not be solved for a long time, so it has been brewing over the years, until it has completely exploded now. ”

"That'...... Finally, what happened to the princess?"

In the end, it was the little princess who saved her people, put an end to the calamity brought by the gods, and bore the wrath of the gods. But her people did not thank her - the princess was abandoned by her people, and only then did she fall asleep in the soul of flowers. ”

This time, He Manzhou didn't ask anything more, and responded to Bai Yicong's silence for a long time.

As a bystander, He Manzhou shouldn't have substituted too many personal feelings, but at that moment, she felt that somewhere in her heart was violently involved. The pain she felt in the illusion swept over her as if she had experienced it herself, and she seemed to see the little princess Loulan half-kneeling in the yellow sand, her shoulders trembling and raising her head.

What desperate and helpless eyes those were.......

However, what does this have to do with me?

Why do you feel uncomfortable?
