Su Xi said in a deep voice

"I can't agree to your terms."

Zhen Shi nodded lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly downward, and put on an indifferent expression

"Oh, it seems that Miss Su thinks that it doesn't matter if the photos in this are spread to your school forum. That's easy, since you don't care about your friend's situation, then what do I have to worry about as an outsider? See you in the afternoon. ”

Even with such a bad expression and threatening words in his mouth, Zhen Shi can still attract the attention of many girls.

Seeing that he stood up and was about to leave, Su Xi was anxious

"Wait!"

"Miss Su has changed her mind?"

"Let's say there's a PR crisis right now, and it's about your reputation and mine. In the final analysis, I, Su Mengxi, am just a student in school, and so are the people around me. Even if there is any rumor about us on the Internet, it is just a flash in the pan, we are just a small role, and when the next news comes out, people's attention will naturally be sucked away, and gradually no one will remember the ugly story of an unknown female college student. ”

Su Xi took out his mobile phone, clicked on a search page, turned the direction and put it in front of Zhen Shi

"But your Zhen family, a big family, has so many companies, factories, and even hospitals - Zhen Shi, you are the one who is more afraid of losing your reputation, right? I can assure you that if you do do the kind of thing you just foretold, I will do the same, and I will guarantee that you will suffer more damage. ”

Zhen Shi just glanced at the screen lightly, and on it was a list of all the industries under the Zhen Group.

He pursed his lips and smiled faintly, both as if as mockery as he was at least pity

"Su Mengxi, are you threatening me?"

"Yes."

"You're threatening me, it's too tender. It's not a threat to me at all. Don't forget, your dad is still lying in our group's hospital. ”

Now, Su Xi suddenly woke up

The transfer of his seriously ill father to Zhen's Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Hospital was a major problem for him at the time, but now it has become a handle and weakness that Zhen Shi firmly holds in his hands.

"Su Mengxi, even if you have so many weaknesses in my hands, I still haven't really done anything bad to you. Think about whose side you should be on.

I didn't invite you to dinner to your detriment. I know you're worried about your own safety, and I know you've always been an insecure girl. I can guarantee that you will be in the best possible way during the dinner. ”

Zhen Shi's words pierced Su Xi's heart.

The world of "True and False" is full of too many mysteries and unsolved mysteries, and Su Xi's insistence on not wanting to accept his invitation to the dinner party is actually mostly due to her instinctive fear of this kind of occasion.

Combined with last night's dream, Zhen Shi's sudden visit made her feel even more weird.

Su Xi was silent for a long time.

She thought, what had she been running away from for so long?

Escaping unseen fears and hurts?

Escaping the unnamed covert chase?

Flee from enemies hiding in the shadows waiting to attack?

Maybe neither, maybe it's both.

Since I came to this world, every decision and action I have made is for self-preservation.

Because there is no specific mission goal, on the surface, it seems to be leisurely, but in fact, it is even more tied, I dare not go anywhere, no one dares to see, and everyone wants to harm myself.

Just now when she heard the system say the task of "saving her life", she still felt ridiculous, it was too simple.

As everyone knows, under such a task, my state of mind is becoming more and more nervous and anxious, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the most difficult task.

She finally understood what that meant

The greatest fear in the world is the unknown.

When human beings have just jumped from a tree to the ground and are determined to open up a living space on the ground, there are countless opponents who are also begging for a living on land, and they can bite humans to death in one bite and become each other's meal.

Humanity is against it, it loses. Fight again, defeat again.

Humanity is plunged into endless fear.

That fear has only form, only thought, not name.

When everyone communicates their fear of land overlordship, it is invisibly amplified because it cannot be named in the same way.

Everyone contributes a little bit of fear of the beasts and how fierce and brutal they are.

Most of those accusations should be repeated.

But because there is no specific reference, people will not be aware of it, and can only endure great fear, day after day.

Perhaps, in fear, human beings may have also moved the mind of returning to the trees and living safely.

And finally one day, a beast of prey was captured alive, and humans gave it a name

Lion.

Since then, "fear" has a pronoun, a name, and a specific appearance.

People no longer panicked to tell others how terrible and ferocious the beast is, and there is no need to use any exaggerated words, but only to accurately describe the appearance, movements and characteristics of the lion.

In this way, humans have a new understanding of lions

Yes, lions are fierce and eat people, but, we already know this, don't be afraid, we will find a way to solve it.

People have created ways to repel lions and tigers, and they have been passed on by word of mouth, by word of example, from one generation of fathers to one generation of sons.

By naming it, you can transform fear from invisible to tangible.

And fear, once tangible, means that it can be captured, subdued, and even destroyed.

Su Xi decided not to run away anymore.

She was going to name the anxiety and fear that was everywhere, pulling it out of the fog, little by little, pulling out the outline and then giving it a name.

She patted the table lightly and looked at Zhen Shi who was waiting for her to reply

"Well, I promise you. But I hope you understand a little

I promise you only because I feel compelled to go, and not because you coerce me with those dishonorable means.

Plus, I don't need your extra protection, I'll protect myself. ”

Zhen Shi received a positive answer, and he was not verbose, and stood up cleanly

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal."

"In the afternoon, I will ask the assistant to contact you, and if you need to buy the necessary items, I will send a female assistant to follow you to the shopping.

You don't have to worry about the rest, Miss Su just needs to show up at the dinner party. When the time comes, there will be a surprise for you. ”

"What surprise?"

"It's all said to be a surprise, and now I'm telling you, isn't this word valid? Promise not to let you down, you just know that. ”

After Zhen Shi left, Su Xi was still stunned and sat on the dining chair in the cafeteria.

The surrounding students who were watching the excitement had already dispersed.

People's attention, in fact, is this level

When a piece of news can't bring them more freshness, they go after the next hot topic.

Su Xi didn't know if he had accepted the invitation to the dinner party or if he had done it right or not.

But one thing she knows for sure

There can be no escape.
