Chapter 68:

Speeding When Shen Boyan heard these words, he felt a little dazed.

Is this the answer he got?

He thought at a loss, mixed with a bit of secret excitement.

Seeing that he was still a little dazed, Meng Xinqiao smiled.

"I didn't reveal my identity to him solely because I wanted to be alone, so that the 'system' would focus on me."

He explained patiently: "I have the means to deal with him, and you No. So, it would be safer to let me do this."

"Is it because you have encountered it before?" Shen Boyan asked.

"Well..." Meng Xinqiao thought for a moment, "Not entirely."

"I used to think that Cheng Shunhao cheated and Jiang Jing became paranoid and terrifying. It was an unstoppable fate."

"I have made a lot of efforts in the past. , trying to make Jiang Jing stop being like this, but they all failed." His voice became softer, seeming a little disappointed.

"Including those times when you were late?" Shen Boyan looked at him.

"Yes, including." Meng Xinqiao nodded, "Every time, I want you to know my feelings and want to get closer to you, but I am always slowed down because of many accidents. "

"After the college entrance examination that day, I bought milk tea, but I was kidnapped by a battery-car driver who fell down on the road. I kept talking to him for a long time. I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly met your face."

"The day you went abroad, I I also drove here. I thought, let me see you again, at least once."

Meng Xinqiao smiled bitterly: "But I was stuck in traffic in front of the airport and I couldn't get off. "

And when it was about to take off, the motionless cars in front of me suddenly dispersed little by little."

"As if just to prevent us from seeing each other, I drove the car, but in the end I couldn't see it. You."

"So I missed it again."

"What about your birthday?" Shen Boyan pursed his lips, feeling unspeakable. "What happened?"

Meng Xinqiao frowned slightly.

"Things that day were more complicated. I'll tell you more about it next time. But after those things, I felt that there was some completely irresistible force stopping us."

"I thought that was called fate."

"You just Have you lived like this for so many years?" Shen Boyan whispered, "Do you feel...very hard?"

"A little bit." Meng Xinqiao smiled, "But later, I accidentally learned that, in fact, It's not destiny."

"There is no 'fate'. Everyone actually just follows some natural laws and moves forward according to their own will. There is just something that is trying to interfere with us."

"That's it, the system?" Ask.

"That's right." Meng Xinqiao nodded, "It's not a normal thing. To be precise, it should be more like a virus."

"It's not omnipotent, or even legitimate. It's like a stowaway, absorbing the energy of the host. Nutrients for his own survival."

"So," Shen Boyan quickly clarified his thoughts, "Then these things all come from its control, just like the 'punishment mode' that day?"

"Yes. "Meng Xinqiao nodded, "By interfering with other people's lives and wills, it can get what it wants. But at the same time, it is not omnipotent."

"What does it have to pay for interfering with others?" Boyan licked his lips.

The thoughts in his mind came together: "For example, his own energy? Really?"

"Yes, that's right." Meng Xinqiao said approvingly, "When its energy dries up, it will quietly Die."

"Is this why you want to force him to target you?" Shen Boyan understood, "You told me not to follow its ideas, because it will force me to do things I don't want to do."

"Yes, from holding hands, to kissing, to more intimate contact." Meng Xinqiao said in a deep voice, "It knows that you can see the difference between that person and me, because he is too clumsy. And you are in it You will do a lot of things you don't want to do under the guidance, and in the end..."

"In the end, you won't be able to return to your body," Shen Boyan guessed.

"Yes, it won't let me come back." Meng Xinqiao nodded, "By then, it will be over."

Shen Boyan instantly felt the belated chill.

If he really hadn't discovered the weirdness of the whole thing, and drank that glass of wine in order to let Cheng Wenjun return to his body...

"...Fortunately, he discovered it quickly." He was still frightened.

Meng Xinqiao also exhaled: "Well, it's okay."

"I can't leave for too long." He said to Shen Boyan, "I was too self-righteous before and always wanted to exclude you from this matter. I will tell you all the other details I can."

He smiled bitterly: "Maybe I am still a little afraid of it. It has been with me for so many years. The entanglement may last longer than you think."

Shen Boyan thought of the weird love story between Cheng Shunhao and Jiang Jing.

If what happened back then was really related to this thing, wouldn't Meng Xinqiao have been exposed to that weird and terrifying system since he was born?

He looked at Meng Xinqiao, but Meng Xinqiao shook his head.

"Let's not say these sensational words." He said, "It's all over."

Shen Boyan could only keep his mouth shut.

He was quiet for a moment and then asked: "What do you want to do next?"

"It will not give up killing me." Meng Xinqiao thought about it and told him, "I guess its primary purpose should be Destroy my identity."

"'Meng Xinqiao' is not only the residence of Cheng Wenjun's soul, but also one of the difficulties for Cheng Wenjun to conquer you."

"So, it should give priority to dealing with me... But I'm afraid, it will. Realized something was wrong."

Shen Boyan frowned: "Something's wrong?"

"Yeah." Meng Xinqiao nodded, "I'm afraid... you have discovered my identity."

"Ah," Shen Boyan understood. .

"I'm afraid that it will turn against you and want me to compromise." Meng Xinqiao said, "It doesn't want to die and will never stop struggling until it is forced to a dead end."

He smiled helplessly: "It is an alien species. "I have ways to deal with aliens, but you don't."

"So...this is why I don't want you to get involved."

"But he won't really let me die." Shen Boyan said suddenly.

He looked at Meng Xinqiao: "At least now... right?"

"...Yes." Meng Xinqiao was stunned and gave Shen Boyan a positive answer.

"That's good." Shen Boyan nodded.

A strange light flashed in his eyes: "Meng Xinqiao, I have an idea."

"What?" Meng Xinqiao was a little surprised.

"Perhaps we..." Shen Boyan said slowly, "We should make Cheng Wenjun realize that I have already made some suspicions about his true identity."...

Shen Boyan left the tea room late at night.

As soon as he went out, he saw Fang Shengyun looking at him with a half-smile.

"Recognized?"

Fang Shengyun asked teasingly.

Shen Boyan said "hmm".

"Does he know that it was the two of us who eavesdropped that day?" Fang Shengyun rolled his eyes.

"Not yet." Shen Boyan shook his head.

"Oh." Fang Shengyun didn't care, "I'll go talk to him sometime... and see what he has in his head."

"Go ahead." Shen Boyan didn't object and just said this. , "He should have guessed it."

"That's true." Fang Shengyun agreed, "Whatever, just go back and interrogate on WeChat."

There is little point in staying in the villa. Shen Boyan was sent back to school by Fang Shengyun with a calm mood after the ups and downs.

After Cheng Wenjun was busy all morning, he began to send some messages of greetings to Shen Boyan.

Shen Boyan chose to ignore them all equally. When it got late, he returned to his residence through the night. As soon as he opened the door, he happened to see Cheng Wenjun changing his shoes at the entrance.

The two looked at each other. Cheng Wenjun was stunned for a moment, then put on a fake smile: "Xiaoyan, you are finally back. Are you busy today?"

"No." Shen Boyan replied.

Cheng Wenjun was choked by Shen Boyan's words for the umpteenth time. He had long been used to it and his face had been tempered.

Seeing this, he just paused for a moment, then picked up the conversation and asked naturally: "Xiaoyan, haven't you seen the news? Is there dinner tonight? Let's go have something to eat together?"

"No." Shen Boyan calmly refused. .

He raised his head and stared directly at Cheng Wenjun.

"...What, what's wrong?" Cheng Wenjun was so stunned by Shen Boyan's stare that he couldn't help but stammered a question.

"The more I think about it," Shen Boyan said slowly, "the weirder I feel."

"Tell me, what kind of thing can make a person's personality change drastically and become completely different from before?"
