Chapter 14: Two people who met and knew each other
Although Xiao Mengran usually has a good relationship with the female classmates in the class, and often talks about some topics, he is essentially a home, and his usual haunting range is only school and home, basically he can never go out without going out, and naturally has no experience in talking to strangers, especially with strange people of the opposite sex. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In a more popular way, Xiao Mengran didn't know anything about "flirting with girls", so naturally he didn't know how to speak at this time.
And Lin Xi is as good as Xiao Mengran, in one sentence to describe her, "I have very few friends", as I have explained before, because of her own personality and values, not only does she not have a good relationship with the opposite sex, but even her college roommate has a general relationship with her, and she is a stranger she is more familiar with.
One can imagine how embarrassing it will be when two otaku and otaku meet together.
In particular, Xiao Mengran is an "abandoned house" addicted to novels, anime and games, while Lin Xi is a "literary house" who likes philosophy and art, and it is difficult to find a common topic.
Of course, embarrassment is only for others, Xiao Mengran and Lin Xi are obviously not the kind of people who will care about other people's opinions.
The two looked at each other like this, Lin Xi couldn't see her thoughts and emotions from her face as usual, and Xiao Mengran couldn't see his expression because he was wearing a silver mask.
After a long time, the two people, who realized that even if they were old in the wilderness, they would not bear fruit, and spoke at the same time:
"I can take the liberty of asking..."
"You say it first...
Finding that the words of the two were exactly the same, Lin Xi's face still had no expression, but he was still a little embarrassed in his heart.
Xiao Mengran touched his nose and finally asked:
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Lin Xi replied to him lightly:
"Just wanted to thank you for saving me."
"I can't see from your face that you mean to be grateful, and as a girl, you are so calm after encountering a man-eating monster, beauty, are you really a big husband?" For some reason, Xiao Mengran suddenly complained frantically in his heart.
However, on the surface, Xiao Mengran showed a kind smile, hesitated for a while, and then said softly:
"You don't need to thank me, I just happened to be asked to kill those monsters, I didn't come here to save you."
After listening to Xiao Mengran's words, Lin Xi said in a stiff and cold tone:
"You should be a newcomer too, right?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi suddenly asked this question, Xiao Mengran subconsciously replied:
"Yes."
After being silent for a while, thinking about something repeatedly, Lin Xi continued:
"First of all, whatever the motive for your actions, the end result is that I escaped from the cage of those monsters because of your actions. Secondly, you lied, according to my inference, you are also a newcomer, even if your strength is much stronger than mine, your mission is not to kill those monsters. I noticed that before leaving the monster's camp, you took out a water bag and hit a bag of spring water, and if I guessed correctly, your task should be to take the spring water from the Fountain of Life instead of killing the ogre. Even though it may be because you want more gains, I'm more inclined to think that you're there to help us escape, so I'm still going to thank you. Finally, can you ask what exactly your mission is? I'm curious. ”
"I can't see it from your face at all," silently complained in his heart, Xiao Mengran hugged his head from behind with both hands as if he surrendered, and then replied a little helplessly:
"Okay, okay, my side quest is to get a bag of spring water from the Fountain of Life, I originally planned to test the strength of the Ogre Lord and complete the mission and leave, but I only saw you being captured after I arrived, so I simply felt good about myself and planned to kill all the monsters except for the Ogre Lord. Originally, I was worried about what the man would do, but fortunately, he brought the teleportation scroll, which saved me a lot of trouble. ”
"If you're going to ask why I'm saving you, first of all I think I can help you without losing anything, after all, if you see injured kittens and puppies, you will take care of them, won't you?"
"In addition, I can get a lot of experience points and huge loot by killing those ordinary ogre mages and ogre fighters, why don't I kill two birds with one stone."
Hearing that he was compared to a kitten and a puppy, a trace of shame flashed on Lin Xi's originally cold face.
Because the look of shame was only fleeting, Xiao Mengran suspected that he had seen it wrong.
In fact, most people are very unaccustomed to Lin Xi's cold and rigid tone, and Lin Xi is often a little aggressive, which makes many people a little disgusted with her.
It's just that Xiao Mengran likes this meticulous and serious beautiful girl a little, because Xiao Mengran can feel her sincerity, and most people will like people who know how to repay their kindness, right?
Xiao Mengran didn't care much about other people's gratitude, well, he still cared a little bit, he didn't ask others to give him anything in return, but at least a word of gratitude would make him happy that his efforts and kindness were rewarded.
And Lin Xi's idea is that no matter whether others care about your gratitude or not, you can't take other people's help for granted, right?
Therefore, Lin Xi asked Xiao Mengran:
"Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
Seeing the seriousness on her face, Xiao Mengran, who was playful, wanted to tease her, so he jokingly said:
"How about making promises with oneself, it's written like this in novels and TV dramas."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mengran thought seriously for a while, but Lin Xi said:
"Okay, yes, I'll be your person from now on."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi actually agreed, Xiao Mengran asked in surprise:
"Are you serious?"
Lin Xi nodded and said in a reasonable tone:
"Of course, first of all, there is strength in numbers, and if you are with you, both the difficulty of completing the task and the danger will be much smaller. Secondly, if you have a teammate, you will have a much better chance of surviving in many cases. Since you don't dislike that my strength is much weaker than yours, I naturally won't refuse your invitation to form a team. ”
"Party invite? Don't you suspect that I have bad intentions for you? Don't you think I'm a coercion? After all, you're so pretty. ”
Glancing at Xiao Mengran strangely, Lin Xi asked rhetorically:
"Why should I suspect that you have ill intentions towards me? I don't think I have anything worth thinking about, and what does that have to do with how beautiful I am? ”
Choked by Lin Xi's answer, Xiao Mengran said with a sigh:
"I'm talking about your body, mouth, beauty."
Glancing at Xiao Mengran in surprise, Lin Xi asked in a strange tone:
"Do you like girls?"
