Chapter 58 Don't Get Misunderstood
Episode 58 Don't get me wrong
I had to scratch my palms with my fingers forcefully to resist the urge to turn around and look at Fu Lin.
Who is who now?
Why did Shang Hexing respond?
Have Shang Hexing and Fu Lin already started exchanging all the details of each other's lives to prevent people around them from guessing their identities?
But, have their reaction nerves reached this point?
It was at this moment that I suddenly realized one thing. I didn’t care too much about what kind of people Fu Lin and Shang Hexing were. This will most likely affect my perception of their changes.
In other words, as long as they have a better understanding of each other, I can no longer tell who is who.
Worthy of being a player.
This experience is quite interesting.
Because before this, I thought that after the protagonists of the story swapped bodies, people would still not be able to tell the difference even if they saw obvious changes in habits and personalities.
First, it is because of the problem of thinking and cognition - people do not believe that people can change their bodies;
The second reason is because of the plot requirements. If everyone realized this, the subsequent plot would not have to unfold. Now that I think about it, the main characters should have performed really well, but the story was focused on the more dramatic content, which made people feel that the main characters always made mistakes.
I followed Shang Hexing's gaze and said dissemblingly, "It's okay. I just wanted to say that I'm going back to my workstation. If there's anything else, we can continue talking in the evening."
I'm not familiar with Shang Hexing, and I still just want to have one-on-one contact with Fu Lin.
So before leaving, I decided to give Fu Lin another signal and ask him to find time to talk to me.
While Shang Hexing wasn't paying attention, I secretly used my thumb and index finger to tap his little finger and hypothenar muscles. The movement was small, but Fu Lin suddenly raised his elbow as if he was burned by fire. While pulling his hand back, he raised his head and stared at me closely, his eyes full of shock and vigilance. He even glared at me.
This reaction made my heart tighten.
Fu Lin made me act like a pervert who was maliciously harassing him. From what we had seen yesterday, I could tell that he didn't care about body language at all.
How come he has become such a different person?
I didn't want to be discovered by Shang Hexing, so I retreated before things became too obvious.
After walking two or three steps, the footsteps in my ears gradually disappeared as I entered the physical evidence department. The corridor returned to deathly silence again. I stopped and slowly turned back again, my eyes falling on the end of the empty corridor. The light there was dim, and the walls were shrouded in an indescribable sense of oppression because of the shadows of the trees outside the window, but my own hand seemed to still linger on the touch that was waved away by Fu Lin a few seconds ago, and my heartbeat inexplicably slowed down.
So, when they encountered the accident yesterday, they were swapped back?
“…”
I immediately felt itchy and quickly took out my phone to check the comic forum, but there was still no sign of any update.
It seems that if we want to confirm the true situation, we can only wait until the case is completely concluded, and then read the comic updates to know the whole story.
When I thought of this, I calmed down.
I feel that Fu Lin and Shang Hexing actually still want to return to the real world. They got Vita's information right after they met, and they can also find a way to change their bodies back. I think they can go back in a few days. I don't have to worry that the existence of players will destroy the world I live in!
I can live peacefully again~
Long live!
Long live! ! !
So, I went back to my workstation without any worries.
※
It was six o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
Because my parents had to work, I simply finished my dinner in the restaurant - pork ribs with beans and rice and cabbage and tofu soup. The ribs are small ribs with a lot of meat, and the soup is made from large pork bones, so the whole soup is rich white in color, light and fragrant, simple and delicious, and a very suitable dish to be eaten with rice.
I ate all of it.
After eating, I brought some rice husks and grass seeds for Xiaobai as staple food. Although the snacks I provide include some foods it can eat, for its overall health, I still combine many foods instead of preparing just a single food.
Last night, I spent a very unforgettable day with it.
I took more than two hundred photos of it and forty short videos. It always opens its watery eyes, faces the camera obediently, and makes all kinds of cute little movements. In addition, I also captured complete footage of it snoring while sleeping at night with my mobile phone. The whole scene was so cute that I couldn't bear to look away.
I think I can play with Xiaobai again tonight.
Because after I finished dinner, I didn’t receive any text message from Fu Lin asking me to chat or meet up in the evening. This means that my evening time is free.
When I went to look for Xiaobai who lived in the house opposite, I naturally couldn't go there empty-handed.
After picking out a snack gift pack from the card drawing system, I slipped on my slippers, opened the door, and prepared to go to the other side. However, just as the door was opened, the door next door was also pulled, and Shang Hexing's sight came into view. I think it is Shang Hexing who has returned to his body.
Shang Hexing is different from Fu Lin. Fu Lin does not have the habit of wearing a mask like Shang Hexing. Shang Hexing would want to wear a mask even when indoors, especially when there are many people around. It seems that the mask is also a natural barrier that naturally keeps a distance between him and others. At this moment, the mask covered most of his face. The sharp gaze, like the light of a drawn sword, pierced straight at him when he raised his eyes.
“…”
It’s the real one.
I said with certainty in my heart.
Logically speaking, if they exchanged bodies when they fell into the water yesterday, I should have noticed their differences when I borrowed Xiaobai from their house.
As expected, I only had Xiao Bai in my eyes at that time, and no one else...
I reflected for three seconds.
Why only three seconds?
Because Shang Hexing was staring at me.
I greeted dryly, "What a coincidence."
"Unfortunately," Shang Hexing looked up at the camera above his door and said, "I know when you go out."
So stop me here, huh?
“…”
This guy is very sensitive about everything.
He wouldn't hate me just because I touched his hand today.
He just looked at me solemnly, and I had no idea what he was going to do. While I was trying to find a topic to talk about, I suddenly remembered that I had bought a gift for Shang Hexing in order to win his favor. But this was part of the lie, so I didn't remember handing him the gift until several weeks after Shang Hexing returned.
Now maybe he has realized that I was lying, so he is so hostile to me.
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately found a topic for conversation, "Shang Hexing, I remembered that I prepared a farewell gift for you before you got into trouble. I'll go find it for you in your room, wait for me."
I was just about to take advantage of the situation and knock on the door after half an hour had passed and the other party was no longer interested in waiting.
Shang Hexing's voice rang out, "I don't know you well, so I don't want your gift."
His voice was unabashedly cold, "Even if you give it to me, I will just throw it away."
“…”
He just finished talking.
what do I do?
I should pretend to be disappointed, close the door and end the topic completely. But, of course, this is just a thought. I avoided his intense gaze and said, "Actually, I know that I probably can't give it away. But I was wondering if there's still a possibility that you'll accept it? After all..."
I tried hard to think of his good qualities.
Oh, he said today that I am trustworthy.
I said, "You also told me today that I can actually be trusted."
After saying this, I was disgusted by the way I spoke, so I quickly changed my tone, "Are you opening the door for me, or do you have something to tell me?"
"Come here." Shang Hexing said directly.
If he was really a smart man, he would have known from the fact that I didn't really want to get close to him just by seeing that I didn't move after opening the door. What should I do if he suddenly loses his temper and attacks me?
Shang Hexing added, "I will only say one sentence to you, and then I will never talk to you again."
Is there such a good thing?
Feeling cheated, I moved closer to him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I didn't mistake you for someone else. You are you, not someone else."
Is this one sentence or two?
What is he talking about?
"What does this sentence mean?" I couldn't help but ask cautiously.
I lowered my voice, fearing that I might touch a sensitive nerve. However, I still feel that if there are any problems, they should be spoken out directly to avoid more misunderstandings.
Did something happen between him and me?
How come I have no impression of this at all?
As soon as I asked this, Shang Hexing avoided my sight. This silence lasted for three or four seconds. I thought he didn't want to talk to me anymore. Jerry also noticed me at the door and greeted me. "Li Zhi, Mr. Li, it's just right. We just need your help! Are you free tomorrow?"
I looked up at Jerry, and just as I was about to reply, Shang Hexing's words suddenly fell into my ears again, and his tone was clearly as if he wanted to break up with me, and he continued: "Don't misunderstand."
He said that he said something to me and that he didn't want to have any extra relationship with me.
The third sentence...
The fourth sentence...
Didn’t you say you would only say one sentence to me?
I suddenly realized, could this person actually be a tsundere? Sure enough, he still wants others to give him gifts, right?
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and said cooperatively: "If you really think so, I hope you can still accept my gift. Because I gave one to Fu Lin, if I don't give you a farewell gift..."
Shang Hexing quickly followed up on me, "Will it make you seem special to me?"
After he finished speaking, his face darkened and he looked inexplicably depressed, as if he had really taken my words to heart.
I stared at his face for a long time, and a ridiculous thought popped into my mind - could it be that he has never made any friends?
