Sotis, Xie Ci really didn't want to believe in sothing as intangible as intuition. He took a deep breath, wanting to suppress that inappropriate wavering in his heart, but heard a voice in his heart asking:
When all probabilities are tilting in one direction, can it still be called probability?
This staunch materialist was about to waver.
Because he saw that woman playing the sa ga he and Ye Li had recorded a video for.
Xie Ci had originally planned to ask for her WeChat. After all, Ling Xi had already said so. If he was going to ask, might as well ask.
But now, he was completely unable to move.
He quietly watched that stunningly beautiful woman, the light from the monitor shifting across her face.
She sat straight in the chair, her black-stockinged legs pressed together.
That cold, stunning face was full of ticulous expression. A pair of fox-like eyes were calm as water, her gaze determined enough to join the Party, staring straight at the ga screen on the monitor.
Her left hand had all five fingers positioned on the proper keys, clearly an experienced gar. Her right hand gripped the mouse tightly, fingertips even turning sowhat pale.
As serious as if taking an exam.
If only the character on screen would move.
That's right, the character on screen hadn't moved at all, hadn't received a single command.
She was just maintaining this posture.
Xie Ci stepped forward, letting his shoe heels collide with the floor tiles to produce a clearly audible sound as he walked beside her.
She trembled almost imperceptibly, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if forcibly swallowing back a cry of alarm.
Xie Ci was already beginning to question reality.
The character in the ga finally started moving. The sound of keyboard clicks ca, and she seed to realize sothing, picked up the headphones from the desk, and as if making so difficult decision, finally put them on her head.
Xie Ci held his forehead in thought.
In the ga, the character she controlled had reached a T-junction. The lighter in hand could only illuminate a small area ahead. The corridors on both left and right were bottomless darkness.
According to gaming experience, one side definitely had a jump scare.
Either direction was fine, playing gas definitely required trial and error.
However, the character she controlled just stayed in place.
Xie Ci could even feel slight vibrations through the chair back. She was trembling, but still sat straight, not a single hair out of place.
Just like a little cat trembling before darkness, yet still choosing to enter Spinosaurus mode.
"Go left. There's a jump scare on the right that's not easy to dodge. The left is safe."
Xie Ci deliberately slowed his speech, speaking word by word. She didn't turn around, just paused her fingertips on the keyboard.
"Th... thank you." Her voice was gracefully moving, carrying a trace of joy, but the tail end still hid a barely noticeable tremor.
And so, one person spoke, one person played. They advanced step by step like this, and she didn't question Xie Ci's words at all. Whatever he said, she did, as if Xie Ci were soone she trusted greatly.
Why does this feel like a master giving commands...
But one who walks often by the river will inevitably get wet shoes.
Xie Ci had only cleared this ga once and hadn't morized the layout.
Predictably, he gave wrong instructions.
When that white-haired female ghost suddenly pressed against the screen, she finally showed a crack. Her left hand quickly covered her mouth, then imdiately removed the headphones, her movents so practiced it was like they'd been rehearsed.
"This... this is quieter. The ga sound effects are poorly done, a bit too loud." There wasn't the slightest hint of bla in her tone, but rather a slightly coquettish aning.
She turned her head. Her face was already covered with that habitual layer of frost, but those azure-blue beautiful eyes clearly showed resentnt. Her mouth spoke explanatory words, but Xie Ci could see her cheeks were flushed red, even her ear tips were bright red, exceptionally charming and moving.
The little cat is stubborn. The little cat is acting cute.
Xie Ci silently evaluated internally.
"Sorry... I rembered this part wrong."
"It's fine, please... please continue."
She remained obedient to Xie Ci's words, as if just hearing his voice could bring her so peace, only those headphones were never put back on.
"Hide in the third cabinet on the left.
"The password is on the second floor I believe is..."
Her operation was smooth and fluid, learning as soon as taught, many things coming naturally without instruction.
With their combined efforts, the first level of the ga quickly ca to its conclusion. Both were fully absorbed in the ga.
When the boss at the end of the first level fell, Xie Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Why is there a sense of accomplishnt?
While thinking this, Xie Ci unobtrusively observed her.
Her hand gripping the mouse tightened, then released. She froze for three seconds, seemingly accepting this reality.
Then, as if coming to her senses, joy appeared on her face. She turned to look at Xie Ci, like a little girl sharing happiness with her parents.
But her smile hadn't fully blood before it froze on her face. She lowered her head again, her mood becoming dejected.
Xie Ci silently watched the changes in her expression.
Part of wants to just turn and walk away, never have anything to do with this again, but I just can't make that decision.
That conjecture in his heart had inevitably taken root and sprouted. For him, what should be rising in his heart was disappointnt, rejection, even anger.
But seeing her like this, Xie Ci suddenly lost all those feelings. All that remained in his heart was... bewildernt.
Recalling what she looked like when he first saw her, recalling those things he'd overlooked. The restless sound of high heels, the phone volu being pressed down, the profile that seed to want to speak but stopped.
In his heart, there were no little black and white figures fighting, nor could he think of anything he wanted to say.
He could feel that she was...
Dejected, uneasy, embarrassed, wronged.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
He still wanted the WeChat contact, wanted to continue talking with her. Talking with her every day seed to have already beco part of his life.
So he pulled out his phone, preparing to say words he'd deliberated over for a long ti.
Suddenly, she tugged at the corner of his clothes, her words sowhat trembling:
"Could... could you add on WeChat?"
She pressed her lips together, one hand tightly clenched on her leg, the other clutching her phone.
She finally raised her face. The gaze that had been sowhat evasive just now shot straight toward Xie Ci's sowhat startled eyes.
After speaking, she suddenly smiled. That smile was very beautiful, not a deliberately forced curve. The corners of her eyes and brows all contained a smile.
Just like a candle about to go out, choosing to display its brightest mont before him.
He was stunned for a mont.
"O... okay... I'll scan yours."
After saying this, he opened WeChat's QR scanner, but she seed a bit flustered, even unlocking the screen took so ti.
However, the mont she saw her unlocked phone screen, she froze.
Her expression changed repeatedly.
"Sorry... I, my phone is on silent, I missed several calls. I'll go to the restroom to take them first, I'll be right back."
After speaking, she ran away as if fleeing.
