Chapter 21
Chapter 21
The two hands were clasped together, palms touching, and the scorching temperature spread quietly through the fingertips.
Shang Wandong looked at Yan Xia silently, the afterglow cast a layer of warm orange light on her fair face, and that light fell into her eyes again, revealing subtle emotions.
Yan Xia thumped, thinking that the other party would say something unsightly again, but Shang Wandong didn't say anything, just stared at her for a while, and then let go of her hand.
The warmth of the palm was blown by the wind, leaving only a regrettable coolness.
"Go back." Shang Wandong turned his head, his voice was rustling, and he lifted his feet and walked in front.
Yan Xia: ...That's it?
Nothing happened, and she was not demolished. She felt very uncomfortable for a while.
She ran up to Shang Wandong from behind: "Sister!"
Shang Wandong lowered his head and didn't look at her, but hummed heavily in a nasal voice.
With a twitch in Yan Xia's heart, a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up.
She ran in front of Shang Wandong, pressed his shoulders, and fixed Shang Wandong in place.
Then she stretched out her hands, carefully held the other's chin, and lifted it up gently.
Shang Wandong had no choice but to raise his head, his expression was calm, but his eyes were faintly red.
Yan Xia opened his eyes wide, and asked in panic and disbelief, "You...are you crying?"
"No." Shang Wandong said hoarsely, "The wind was strong just now, and sand entered."
The playground in the evening is really windy.But Yan Xia had doubts in his heart, and asked, "...do you want me to brag to you?"
"No need." Shang Wandong rubbed his red eyes with the back of his hand, and said softly, "Go back quickly."
Seeing that she was really fine, Yan Xia responded, and walked beside Shang Wandong, looking at her quite worriedly.
System: "Host, don't worry, it's just sand in your eyes."
Yan Xia said hesitantly: "But I feel that the way she looked at me before...is a bit strange."
"What look?" the system asked curiously, "I feel the same as usual."
"It's hard to say." Yan Xia murmured thinking back to when Shang Wandong just looked at him.
It seems... It seems to be a kind of indescribable and deep sadness, which makes people immersed in that speechless situation, and can't help feeling sad.
The system didn't take it seriously: "You read it wrong. She is just an NPC, and she won't have too many complicated emotions."
Yan Xia disagreed: "I think she is no different from a human being."
The system was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Host, I advise you not to have too many fantasies about the NPCs here, especially the targets of the attack. They are just a set of algorithms written into the program, and they are not worth putting emotion into."
When saying this sentence, its mechanical voice is particularly cold.
Yan Xia bit her lip: "What if she awakens self-awareness? Perhaps, you should conduct the Turing test on the NPC here..." Like in "Detroit Become Human".
"Host, you are a student of science and engineering, you should be very clear that artificial intelligence has self-awareness is always just nonsense." The system said, "not to mention that the NPC here is just a bunch of data."
Yan Xia was speechless.
She looked at Shang Wandong beside her, curled her fingers unconsciously.
She understands the reason, she can't stay here, she can't have feelings, she can't fall in love with Shang Wandong, because she still has to return to the real world after all... even if the people and scenery here are so real that it is impeccable.
But she still couldn't help having a little expectation, if only she could see Shang Wandong in the real world.
Yan Siqiu was hit continuously for several days, and today he finally came back to it again, showing off to Shang Wandong that he did well in the mid-term exam along the way, like a peacock courting a mate, waving its tail feathers prettily.
Yan Xia could see that Shang Wandong was not in high spirits and had a low desire to speak, but she was like this usually, and Yan Siqiu didn't notice anything wrong.
"Second Sister, how did you do in the exam?" After talking a lot, Yan Siqiu pointed at Yan Xia again and asked, "Will someone hand in a blank paper again?"
Yan Xia smiled: "It's all done this time."
Yan Siqiu snorted, and said disdainfully, "Don't just write nonsense. I heard people say that you made a bet with the class teacher that you would be in the top ten in the exam?"
"Yes." Yan Xia said, "It shouldn't be a problem."
Yan Siqiu thought she was trying to be brave: "Tch, who would believe it!"
Who knows, Yan Xia showed a hurt expression, and whispered: "Siqiu, did I do something wrong? Why do you keep questioning me?"
Yan Siqiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body: "You, why are you pretending to be pitiful all of a sudden?"
Yan Xia's voice trembled: "Don't you want me to do well in the exam?"
"How could I say that..." Yan Siqiu's voice gradually trailed off.
She saw Yan Xiaban with his eyes downcast, his curled eyelashes trembling, his slender fingers tightly grasping the edge of the car seat, his whole body looked soft and fragile, as if he was about to die because of her words in the next second. cry.
Yan Siqiu opened his mouth wide in bewilderment, feeling somewhat guilty for a moment.
Could it be that he really failed the exam?Why did she suddenly become so crying?
Even the driver couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror worriedly.
Yan Siqiu choked up and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't say anything?"
Yan Xia suddenly stopped performing, raised her head and smiled softly at her: "Sister is so good."
Yan Siqiu: "..."
Driving into the villa, the Maserati stopped slowly, Yan Siqiu quickly opened the car door and walked away briskly, keeping away from Yan Xia as if avoiding the plague god.
Yan Xia followed behind with a smile, walking side by side with Shang Wandong.
Shang Wandong's red eye circles have faded, and he looks careless. Yan Xia said a few words to her but didn't respond, as if he had been distracted.
Walking into the villa, the living room was filled with joy for some reason.
Zhao Daiman, who had disappeared for many days, was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a smile on his face.
Yan Xia saw a woman sitting beside her, and the two chatted happily.
"Wan Dong, look who's back?" Zhao Daiman greeted them with a smile when he saw the two coming.
Shang Wandong suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The woman also stood up, her figure was tall and thin, her temperament was elegant and indifferent, her deep eyebrows were almost similar to Shang Wandong's.
"Wan Dong." Her voice was cold, and the expression on her face was also light, "Long time no see."
Shang Wandong remained expressionless: "...Mom."
She looked very calm, but Yan Xia noticed that Shang Wandong's fingers had been tightly clenched together, and the phalanx was showing a ferocious bluish-white color.
Yan Xia was secretly startled.
The original book did not describe Shang Wandong's family background in too much detail, she remembered that Shang Wandong's mother was a vigorous female Alpha, named Shang Ruyun, who came from a famous family.The old merchant gave birth to three children in total. Shang Ruyun was the eldest daughter and an Alpha, so she became the legitimate heir of the merchant.
Such a strong woman married an unknown Omega and gave birth to Shang Wandong.
Since Shang Wandong was born, the husband and wife have focused on operating overseas markets, rarely returned to China, and did not give her much care, so Shang Wandong's childhood was not as satisfactory as other children.
Seeing that Shang Wandong was not in the right mood at this time, Yan Xia was worried, and couldn't help but call out: "Sister?"
Shang Wandong suddenly recovered, lowered his head and changed his shoes: "It's okay."
She let go of her fingers, and there were a few deep nail scratches on her palm.
"It's rare for Ruyun to come back once, and I specially asked the cook to cook a lot of good dishes." Zhao Daiman didn't notice the undercurrents over there, and with a smile on his face, he said happily, "We will meet again after a long absence Celebrate well."
Shang Ruyun smiled lightly, and didn't refuse: "Okay, I won't go home if I don't get drunk tonight."
Several people were seated, Yan Xia was still sitting next to Shang Wandong.
Shang Ruyun also took a seat, she should sit on the other side of Shang Wandong as a matter of course.
Yan Xia noticed that Shang Wandong's body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.
This is the first time seeing Shang Wandong's abnormal appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Did anything happen between Shang Wandong and her mother?I may have just forgotten this episode.
Yan Xia thought for a while, then stretched his right hand under the table, and lightly poked Shang Wandong's left hand.
Shang Wandong was startled, looked sideways, and suddenly felt his fingertips being touched carefully, and then pinched very lightly, like being gently swept by a feather.
Shang Wandong's heart softened suddenly.
She saw Yan Xia turned her head and said to herself silently: Don't be afraid.
