best friend turned lover
Work related
It's like a stone bull entering the sea.
But Zhuang Qingchan knew that her mother's heart would never be unshakable, so she didn't mention it any more, she just put away her own violin, adjusted her mother's violin, and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the whole piano room s position.
For this reason, Zhuang Qingchan also made a special trip to the largest musical instrument repair center in the city.After all, a violin that has been neglected for more than ten years needs some conditioning in order to be used again.
Zhuang Qingchan knew very well that even if her mother hadn't really played that violin for more than ten years, even if she placed that violin among dozens of similar-looking ones, her mother could recognize it at a glance: this was her most important partner.
Zhuang Qingchan took a handful of water and slapped it on her cheek. The warm heat spread to her face immediately, but then it gradually turned cold.
It couldn't be better.
Really, it couldn't be better.
Even though she rationally thinks her actions are correct, even if she was unable to fulfill her mother's expectations, she still feels a deep self-blame all the time for destroying her mother's only wish and dream. This kind of guilt and pain haunted her like tarsal maggots.
Zhuang Qingchan remembered that from the time she could remember, her father seldom came home, and even when she returned home, there were endless quarrels. Perhaps these quarrels were initiated by her mother, but in her young life, there was only her mother.
When Zhuang Qingchan was young, she didn't like to have contact with strangers. Only her mother and the violin occupied every corner of her life.The mother has a bad temper and is very strict with her. She has never even received a compliment from her mother.
But there are also very few times when the young Zhuang Qingchan composes the melody to barely meet the mother's standard, the mother will reach out and touch her head, and say to her in a rare soft tone: "Practice hard, you can do better " Zhuang Qingchan only remembered that her mother had a pair of beautiful and slender hands.
Those hands were very warm.
In fact, if Mu Yunyin hadn't broken into her life and entered her heart step by step, Zhuang Qingchan would probably always be the same as before.She is withdrawn and reticent, and she lives alone. Maybe when she grows up, she will know how to cover up, how to modify her words and deeds to conform to the mainstream concept, but she will always be alone in her heart, and only her mother lives in her world.
But there is no if in this world.Mu Yunyin just appeared, at the most appropriate time and with the most appropriate posture, as if it had changed everything with ease.
So Zhuang Qingchan hoped to fulfill all of Mu Yunyin's wishes.Even now she can be sure that even if she doesn't do this, Mu Yunyin will not leave her.But Zhuang Qingchan still hopes to realize all of Mu Yunyin's expectations, reasonable or unreasonable, right or wrong.Just like Zhuang Qingchan wanted to fulfill her mother's wish.
The reason why Zhuang Qingchan resisted her mother was because she knew that this was the only way to get her mother and herself out of this vicious circle.Let the mother face up to the reality and pursue her dreams by herself, and also let her escape from the unfulfilled expectations and pressure and embark on her own future.
But Zhuang Qingchan was too hesitant.She is afraid that things will not develop as she expected, and she is afraid that even the slightest accident will happen to her mother. Whenever she has the idea of changing, she always seems to hear a voice in the haze.This voice accused her, accusing her of not only having no talent, of letting her mother's only expectation fail, but also wanting to turn her mother's last dream into powder with her own hands.
The existence of Mu Yunyin gave her strength and gave Zhuang Qingchan a reason to move forward.And now, all the endgame is reset, and the stalled gears start turning again.
My mother picked up her piano again and became the former music-loving player.
And Zhuang Qingchan finally got relief from the long-standing knot in her heart.
☆, business performance
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Although in response to environmental protection calls and various other considerations, fireworks and firecrackers have been expressly banned in many places.But Chinese New Year is still the most important day of the year for ordinary people.
Zhuang Qingchan was walking on the street.At this time, there is still more than a week before New Year's Eve, so although some small shops on the side of the road have closed their doors, the whole road does not appear to be depressed.On the contrary, despite the cold and windy weather, the layout of the streets already showed a hint of festive joy.
Zhuang Qingchan looked at the end of the street, while tightening the thick scarf around her neck, she said to Mu Yunyin beside her, "That's right there."
Zhuang Qingchan and Mu Yunyin were going to watch a music performance because they got two tickets.
Speaking of these two tickets, Zhuang Qingchan was also a little helpless.
At first, she saw them on the dining table in the living room when she got up in the morning, when Zhuang's mother was eating breakfast across the table.Zhuang Qingchan glanced at it, thought it belonged to her mother, so she didn't care, and went out to do volunteer work after breakfast.
When Zhuang Qingchan came back in the evening, the two tickets had disappeared, and her mother had dinner with her as usual, without saying a word about it.As a result, when Zhuang Qingchan returned to the room after washing the dishes, she saw the two tickets neatly piled up on the bedside table, and a corner was held down by a water glass to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
Zhuang Qingchan picked up the two "uninvited guests", stared at them for two seconds, and decisively turned on the computer to check the performance online, and then saw her mother's name in the list of performers in the program list.
"..."
Even though she had expected it, Zhuang Qingchan thought of her mother's dignified, calm and nonchalant appearance during breakfast and dinner today, and was slightly speechless for this silent, implicit yet direct and rude way of inviting.
The topic changed.
Zhuang's mother participated in the string quintet, and this is just one of the programs in this performance.Although Zhuang's mother was strong enough to support a solo recital when she was young, for Zhuang's mother who had disappeared for more than ten years and did not start practicing until more than half a year ago, and was preparing to make a comeback, she could get this opportunity now. , it is already not easy, and it can even be said to be the favor of fate.
This idea has always existed in Zhuang Qingchan's mind, until she accidentally caught a glimpse of someone when she was leaving the stage.
Zhuang Qingchan's father, Zhuang's mother's ex-husband.
The appearance of that man has not changed much from the appearance in Zhuang Qingchan's impression. Over 40 years old is the most mature and attractive age for a man after going through hardships.
And the appearance of this man immediately made Zhuang Qingchan figure out all the joints.
At the beginning, Zhuang Qingchan's mother met that love precisely because of some incidents in the performance.Now that many years have passed, with his outstanding methods and talents, the man who has accumulated time is naturally not the same as before.If it is said that there is his secret promotion, it is only natural that the mother's smooth sailing experience after her comeback.
Zhuang Qingchan only glanced at that, then looked away, and left the theater together with Mu Yunyin who didn't realize it.
That man had formed a new family a few years ago, and Zhuang Qingchan had no reason to intervene in his current behavior, whether it was out of guilt or otherwise.Thinking about it, he would not deliberately appear in front of his mother, so let's just pretend that he didn't know.
Mother's obsession with the violin is not comparable to that of Zhuang Qingchan. From the time when she picked up the bow again after a long time, the violin has returned to the most important position in her mother's life, filling the lack of soul.
The rapid return of mother status deserves the current re-emergence and greater honor, so there is no need to know some side episodes in the process.
"Auntie's performance feels amazing. She is indeed Xiaoqing's mother." Mu Yunyin walked out of the theater gate and praised Zhuang Qingchan.
Zhuang Qingchan was unmoved: "Really? How about Yunyin, by the way, who is the best player among the remaining four?"
"Uh..." Mu Yunyin was dumbfounded for a moment. For Mu Yunyin, who watched any music program as a layman, there was nothing good or bad about playing musical instruments.
However, in order not to let the topic stay on her pale and worthless praise, Mu Yunyin abruptly changed the subject: "Say we don't wait for auntie to finish packing and leave together? By the way, congratulations or praise?"
"If you do this, my mother will definitely not be happy." Zhuang Qingchan continued to explain without waiting for Mu Yunyin to ask, "Because she is easily shy."
"……Eh??"
Zhuang Qingchan continued calmly: "With a cold and awkward personality like my mother's, it's not so easy to make her happy... At least a simple and rude method will definitely not work."
"Oh..." Mu Yunyin felt very complicated when she heard it, and she really deserved to be Xiaoqing's mother.
#It seems that there is something wrong#
But at this moment, Zhuang Qingchan saw something interesting, pulled Mu Yunyin's sleeve and said, "Does Yunyin want to play with that?"
Mu Yunyin's gaze immediately shifted to the past:
A reality check project.
This is a labyrinth with countless forks.
Just like there are countless huge populations in this world, it is as difficult to find someone who is not in love with you in the vast sea of people, just as it is difficult to find a specific drop of water in the sea.So, can you successfully find the person you are looking for in this small maze?Come and try the fate between you!
Rules of the game: Two people are in a team, each holds one of a pair of love crystal balls, and enters the test of fate from the two entrances respectively. Those who find each other and successfully escape from the confusion within the specified time within one hour will pass the level. Get a copy of 'Proof of Love' (beautiful gift).If the goal is achieved within half an hour, as a reward for such a predestined lover, this maze will give a special gift.Please come on!
Ps: Once a pair of love crystal balls approach, they will change special colors. If the other party is not the other one in the pair, the crystal balls will not change in any way.Please make good use of this point and find someone who is destined to meet you!
PS’s ps: If you really can’t find the other party, you can use the configured drop-shaped device to ask for help, and there will be staff to take the two parties out of the confusing environment of the test.The mountain does not turn around.If you really don't have fate, don't force it, I believe there will always be someone better waiting for you!
This item is charged on time, please pay attention to the timing reminder on the configuration device.
☆, Trial Fate Lost Realm
This labyrinth is hidden under the dark curtain, so that people can't see a trace of the truth.But only from the outside, it can also be found that its footprint is quite amazing.If the road inside is really complicated, even if you look for a dead object, you may not be able to find it in an hour or two, let alone a living person who is constantly moving.
Although there is no limit to the failure of this amusement project if it exceeds one hour, the charging rule is that after the first hour, the fee charged for each hour is twice that of the previous hour...
"I feel that the rules and explanation are so bad... If you can't find it, you have no fate, and you should replace it. Isn't that forcing people to find it?! And once the specified time has passed, the price will increase exponentially. Sure enough. Profiteer!" Mu Yunyin looked at the rule board and couldn't help complaining.
"Well... Actually, if you have to explain it, it will make sense." Zhuang Qingchan said calmly and slowly, "If two people who have no fate and are not blessed want to be together, they must spend twice as much time as others. , pay a higher price, even if this is the case, it may usher in a counterproductive ending. The truth is indeed the case, strictly speaking, this regulation is very realistic."
Mu Yunyin felt even more frustrated when she heard it, so she puffed her face and continued to stare at the rule board and the mysterious maze behind it, as if she wanted to stare at a flower.
"Okay, it's still early anyway, do you want to play?" Zhuang Qingchan asked.
Mu Yunyin hesitated abnormally for a while before saying: "Then let's talk about it first, Xiaoqing can't just give up casually."
Zhuang Qingchan looked at Mu Yunyin's long-term look, and couldn't help but smiled before assuring her: "Understood. I will definitely try my best to find Yunyin."
So they registered at the entrance and received a configuration device and a love crystal ball.On the one hand, the configuration device has the function of timing and announcing the abandonment of the game. On the other hand, it is also an emergency contact device. If any unexpected situation occurs in the maze, you can contact the staff at any time. Of course, it is impossible to use this to find someone.And once the two crystal balls get close, they will emit a soft and strange light, which is really beautiful.However, with this sensing distance, the help in finding people is minimal, and it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.
After Miss Guidance and the two explained the rules, they said that they could store their belongings in the locker at the entrance and take them out after the game came out.
This inadvertent sentence made Mu Yunyin's thoughts change: If you keep your mobile phone on your body for contacting at any time, maybe it will be easier to find it...
As a result, the Miss Guidance seemed to be accustomed to these guests who were thinking about all kinds of secret tricks, and she continued to remind her unhurriedly: "Please keep your valuables with you. In addition, due to the fact that the territory of this fan has been blocked by unknown dark forces, Infection, all communication methods are unavailable, please use your thoughts to convey your thoughts and find your destined person."
What unknown dark forces, you just blocked the signal!
It's a bully, Mu Yunyin thought resentfully.
So Mu Yunyin and Zhuang Qingchan separated, and when they entered the maze from the two entrances, they suddenly felt a deep pressure: What should I do if I really can't find it all the time?
Zhuang Qingchan on the other side didn't seem to be burdened at all. After encouraging her best friend with words, she entered the entrance without hesitation.
Mu Yunyin, who wanted to look at each other in tacit understanding with her friend at the end: "..."
This must not be a good time to play together!
The interior decoration of the trial edge is very exquisite.The soft light above the head creates a hazy and dreamy mood. The water blue flowing lights flicker regularly. From time to time, dynamic and realistic images are projected on the walls. Various small and unique decorations are dotted around. Passing by some exhibition windows with pearls and gems, the charming luster appears, and people can't help but stop and watch.
If you don't have the idea of trying to find people, just using this place as an experience hall or exhibition hall can be regarded as a worthwhile trip.
However, the Labyrinth of Trial Fate obviously faithfully upholds its own maze attributes.Many forks and long passages with twists and turns will quickly make people lose their way.
Stepping through a door, using this as a dividing point, the environment and atmosphere of the passage are instantly different.If the front is a paradise of the natural ocean, this passage is the subject of myths and legends.The walls on both sides are covered with huge and exquisite murals, and some words are printed in the middle, some are stories about myths and legends, and some are ancient characters with strange and beautiful lines that are hard to understand.
Zhuang Qingchan understood that this kind of creativity and arrangement was probably arranged to prevent the guests from being too bored during the long and purposeless journey of finding people, and even considered the problem of aesthetic fatigue, which is indeed quite ingenious.
So Zhuang Qingchan followed the pace of visiting a museum, unhurriedly exploring this unknown and novel world.
Five or ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Zhuang Qingchan also ran into a few other tourists in the intricate passages. Their expressions were a little tense unconsciously. Respond—although the result is always disappointment.
Zhuang Qingchan, who didn't see her friend at all, was not in an impetuous mood like other guests.Since it is a setting in a labyrinth, it is obviously impossible for two similar entrances to meet together soon.With such a fully enclosed space and complicated maze routes, the probability of finding another person who enters through a different entrance is actually very low.
Moreover, each of the two participants has the ability to give up at any time, and they know that the other party also has this ability.Because of this, if the game has not been stopped every second, it means that the opponent has not given up and is still searching hard.Under such a cognitive premise, the person who first makes the decision to give up and cut off the other party's hard work and hope will undoubtedly bear a lot of psychological pressure.If it's just friends, it's better, but if it's a lover, the mental pressure will be even greater.
Knowing this, Zhuang Qingchan was even less worried.
The purpose of any entertainment project is to serve the guests and charge accordingly. Since the probability of successfully finding people is very low and the pressure to give up is great, the developers of this project will definitely take this into consideration.After all, a project that would make people unhappy and hurt their feelings would give customers a poor experience, and would not get a good reputation at all. In this Internet age, it is impossible to attract more customers.
Therefore, Zhuang Qingchan guessed that this game must have other secrets, which can help guests successfully find their significant other, and most of this help has set some restrictions, such as time constraints: how long does it take to get a reminder, or to find a certain person? A place hidden in the depths can only be activated and the like.Before that, all you can do is just wander around, try your luck and wait patiently.
Zhuang Qingchan thinks thoroughly, so her mood is still relatively stable; Mu Yunyin on the other side is just like those couples who are struggling to find their lover but have not seen the shadow of their lover.Seeing that the time will exceed the stipulated one hour, although the search can continue without limit, but that is the "no fate" judged by the game.
And this is second, the real key is that Mu Yunyin has no idea how long Zhuang Qingchan will choose to give up under the condition of overtime.
Compared with the irritability of being unable to find it all the time, the worry that the other party will choose to give up the search actually makes Mu Yunyin more anxious.If Mu Yunyin is allowed to choose, even if she keeps looking for it, no matter how long it takes, she will not accept giving up this option.But Xiao Qing, who has always been rational, is hard to say.
According to the pricing rules, the price in the second hour is twice the initial price, and it is quadrupled in the third hour. At this time, the total consumption is seven times the initial price.Coupled with factors such as physical exertion and exhaustion of patience, Mu Yunyin is not at all sure whether the game can last until the third hour.
It is obviously winter, and the amount of exercise so far is not too much, but it may be a huge psychological burden. Mu Yunyin is already faintly exhausted, and her back is covered with cold sweat.But Mu Yunyin not only didn't stop to rest, but unconsciously quickened her pace until——
As soon as Mu Yunyin turned a corner, she saw a scene that made her freeze in place for a moment.
This scene shocked Mu Yunyin's mind so much that it shook her heart like an eight-magnitude earthquake.
It was two girls hugging and kissing.
In fact, the light in the maze passageway is not very sufficient, and there is still some distance between Mu Yunyin and them.
But that's enough.
The clothes and appearance of the two girls are not easy to misidentify their gender, and what they are doing is clearly caught in Mu Yunyin's eyes, and there is no excuse to avoid recognition.
Mu Yunyin held her breath at this moment, and quickly retreated to the corner just now.
Until the picture disappeared from the field of vision, Mu Yunyin kept sliding down with her back against the wall, and finally sat leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
The light is soft, the air is quiet, and lovers kiss.It was clearly a hazy and beautiful picture, but the two protagonists in the picture had an indescribably huge impact on Mu Yunyin.
It seems to have revealed the most secret corner of Mu Yunyin's heart.That was something that Mu Yunyin didn't understand clearly yet, but now she was suddenly exposed to the sun and shivered...
It seemed that the thick city wall standing firmly, a gap was cracked under the shock, and then... it collapsed unstoppably and quickly.
The things that were blocked behind the city wall fell into the eyes without any concealment, directly hitting the heart and shocking.
Beads of sweat appeared under Mu Yunyin's forehead hair, and she sat slumped in place for a long time, unable to get up.
☆, Li Qianqian
The configuration device worn on the wrist shows that nearly an hour and a half has quietly passed.
Although Zhuang Qingchan was very confident in her deduction and was not worried that she would not be able to find Mu Yunyin in the end, her mood gradually became heavy unknowingly.
Because Zhuang Qingchan didn't know what Mu Yunyin was doing at the moment, was she desperately searching for herself?Are you full of anxiety and dare not let go of any corner?This kind of worry began to slowly erode Zhuang Qingchan's calm and calm thoughts, causing her thinking mode to continue to be biased in an irrational direction.
And when she walked into a new passage again, Zhuang Qingchan, who was no longer in the mood to appreciate the decoration, couldn't help being startled.
A young girl was leaning against the wall, slumped on the floor, eyes closed as if unconscious.The other party was dressed like a student, and was probably about the same age as Zhuang Qingchan.
Zhuang Qingchan suddenly thought that the other party had some sudden illness, and her first reaction was to check the other party's breath.
Sensing the clear and shallow breath with her fingers, Zhuang Qingchan immediately felt relieved.After sizing each other up, Zhuang Qingchan tried to push the girl's shoulder to see if he could wake her up.
The result was unexpected, the girl quickly came to her senses, her expression was a little dazed, and she yawned softly.
An unbelievable guess suddenly popped up in Zhuang Qingchan's mind, but she didn't pause much, and said to the girl, "Why are you lying here? Are you feeling unwell?" After asking, she subconsciously glanced at the girl The wrist, the device configured by the maze stays there properly.
"?" The girl looked up at Zhuang Qingchan, but her face was expressionless and she didn't say a word.
Zhuang Qingchan felt that the other party had just woken up and didn't understand the situation, and was about to explain a few more words, but suddenly heard the other party say: "You are so beautiful... What's your name?"
Zhuang Qingchan was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that she was hallucinating.
The girl didn't hear Zhuang Qingchan's response, so she continued without expression: "I'm Li Qianqian, can I know you? Beautiful... sister?"
Is the way of chatting up now so novel?Zhuang Qingchan, who felt deeply that she couldn't keep up with the trend, was at a loss.
However, Zhuang Qingchan saw this strange girl with a huge difference in expression and words, seeing that she was still slumped on the ground, and her face was a little pale, so she asked patiently and repeatedly: "Why are you sitting here? I need you to contact the staff." ?"
The girl heard the question clearly this time, and followed Zhuang Qingchan's question and replied: "I sat here to rest, and fell asleep unexpectedly...Why do you need to contact the staff?"
Zhuang Qingchan forcibly saw a trace of confusion from the other party's unchanged expression, and Zhuang Qingchan, who knew that the other party was really just sleeping, didn't know what to say for a while.
After the other party asked the question, he waited for Zhuang Qingchan's answer with an upright and serious face.
So Zhuang Qingchan said in desperation: "If you are very tired, you might as well end the game and go home to sleep. Sitting here is easy to get sick." And it is easy to cause misunderstandings to others... Mistakenly thinking that the other party is sick and comatose is very frightening The jumping Zhuang Qingchan thought silently.
The girl paused before answering: "Oh, yes, I see...but beautiful sister, your mind is jumping." The girl spoke every word very seriously, which made people feel even more helpless.
...Whose thought is jumping.Zhuang Qingchan was sighing to herself, when she saw that the other party really obediently pressed the button to quit the game, the action was straightforward and without hesitation.
"..."
Just now, Zhuang Qingchan, who was still worried about her best friend, couldn't help feeling some sympathy for this girl's companion...
And that girl, or Li Qianqian is still obsessed with the first question: "Sister, what's your name?"
Zhuang Qingchan is actually not used to being so close to strangers when they meet for the first time, even if the other party is a girl of the same age.But although this girl Li Qianqian is indeed very weird, it is also strange that it is hard to hate her.
Looking at the other person's expressionless but inexplicably persistent eyes, thinking that the left and right are just names, and there is nothing to hide, Zhuang Qingchan said, "My name is Zhuang Qingchan." Only one name was mentioned, and nothing else was mentioned.
The other party didn't ask any further questions, such as age, school, contact information and so on.And Li Qianqian seemed to have eyes that could speak, and Zhuang Qingchan inexplicably saw the obvious happiness and satisfaction from her unchanged expression, and her mood was also very subtle.
But strangely, Zhuang Qingchan inexplicably had a slight liking for this girl.
At this moment, the sound of rhythmic footsteps came.
The sound of da, da, da, wafting in the empty and dark passageway made people's heart tense unconsciously.
"Yo ho!!"
Before the silhouette of the other party was fully revealed in the light, he greeted him loudly and cheerfully by surprise.
Zhuang Qingchan was taken aback by the sudden attack, while Li Qianqian always had that expression.
"Dear guest, because you have stayed in the labyrinth for too long, you have finally attracted the attack of the unique monster in the labyrinth—the true and false beast of love~ Then please accept our test!" The two dressed in exactly the same The man in the black and white striped clown suit spoke together.Not only are they dressed in the same way, but even their appearance is almost the same, and they are almost indistinguishable at first glance.
The twins continued without waiting for Zhuang Qingchan's reaction:
"I am a real beast, and he is a fake beast. If you believe in me, as a thank you, I will help you find the person you are looking for!"
"I am the real beast. Only if you believe in me, can I help you find the predestined person you want!"
The two clowns standing side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, each covered their stomachs with a white cloth. At this time, they were covering their stomachs with their hands and exaggerating their expressions, announcing exactly the same argument.
Zhuang Qingchan immediately understood that this must be the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time to find Mu Yunyin, and while she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she pulled herself together and thought about how to get the answer.
After thinking for a second, Zhuang Qingchan first asked: "What will happen if I believe in fake beasts?"
The person on the opposite side was clearly prepared, and replied in a fluent tone: "If you believe in the fake beast, because you feel that your self-esteem as a real beast has been deeply hurt, unless you bribe me well, I will definitely not help you." !"
Zhuang Qingchan: "..."
So even if the choice is wrong, it can be solved by adding money and bribes, right... This "self-esteem can be bought with money" setting makes people feel very speechless for some reason.I don't know whether to say it's very caring, or to complain about being immoral.But since there are no other hints, this is probably a purely lucky choice, which is actually very simple.
Just when Zhuang Qingchan thought this way, the clowns spoke again:
"Of course, you don't have to accept the test. To be honest, we don't like sports very much. If you insist on running away, we probably don't bother to chase after you." One of the clowns said weakly, and by the way, it was very appropriate Stretched.
Another person continued: "That's right. However, without our approval, even if you escape, the Lost Realm will send new monsters to attack you."
"The next monster, the Wisdom Beast, is not as easy-talking as my real beast. If you fail its test, it will definitely not talk to you anymore, and bribery is useless~ because the Wisdom Beast has such a bad temper. Tough!" The talking clown said with a grimace.
So it means that you can also choose to use the method of solving puzzles instead of taking chances... What a variety of designs.Zhuang Qingchan who was thinking like this had already made up her mind.
She said: "I accept your test, can I just guess it?"
At most, it was just a matter of adding some money, no matter how confident she was in herself, Zhuang Qingchan didn't intend to take the risk of disappointing Mu Yunyin.
"That's right! After guessing, we will reveal the answer~" The clowns on both sides patted the white cloth in front of their stomachs at the same time, and then said in unison, "So respected guest, who do you want to believe?"
Zhuang Qingchan glanced at them, but she didn't have any clues, so she planned to make a random guess.
Unexpectedly, Li Qianqian suddenly said to the clown on the left: "You are a real beast, I believe you can get help?"
Li Qianqian's tone was too serious, looking at her eyes looking straight at her, the clown was inexplicably stunned for a second, and subconsciously replied "...Of course!" After answering, he hesitated and said, " But we are here to test another guest... Miss, you have given up the game, and it is useless for me to help you."
"I know." Li Qianqian nodded.
Unexpectedly—"The one on the left is a real beast." Li Qianqian's next sentence came out suddenly.
"Eh?" The two clowns and Zhuang Qingchan were taken aback at the same time.
Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously turned around and asked, "Why?" At this moment, the two clowns also focused their attention on Li Qianqian in unison.
"...Because he said he was a real beast?" Li Qianqian replied facing the three pairs of confused eyes. When she spoke, she looked confused as if she was asking, "Why are you all so strange?"
Zhuang Qingchan suddenly remembered the conversation Li Qianqian had with the clown just now: "..."
"I trust the person on the left." Zhuang Qingchan said.Anyway, she didn't know the answer, she was just guessing, there was no need to take advantage of others' kindness.
The clowns took off the white cloth.The clown on the left happily said: "Congratulations, you got the answer right!" The clown on the right followed with a sad face, and said in a decadent tone: "Congratulations, you got the answer right..."
Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Qianqian's expression. Although there was still no change, Zhuang Qingchan felt that the other party took this result for granted.
There is a 50% probability of each, but Zhuang Qingchan somehow feels that Li Qianqian really does not seem to be aimless.
At this time, the real beast clown said: "Then according to the agreement, I will help the lady who is willing to trust me and provide you with guidance."
The fake beast clown said: "Miss, you and your friends have given up on the Trial of the Predicament, and I will take you out of here." These words were directed at Li Qianqian.
So Zhuang Qingchan said to Li Qianqian: "Thank you very much just now. Remember to take a good rest when you go back." After a pause, she continued: "It's not safe for a girl to sleep outside alone...it's better not to do this in the future."
For some reason, Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously used the tone of admonishing a child, and felt something was wrong after speaking, but——
"Oh." Li Qianqian nodded obediently, "I see, Sister Qingchan."
For this upgraded title, coupled with the other party's doll-like delicate appearance, the expressionless face that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the well-behaved child-like answer, this strange combination can hardly make Zhuang Qingchan feel unhappy and disgusted. such negative emotions.
Zhuang Qingchan finally said helplessly: "Then goodbye."
Li Qianqian said: "My friend said before: You can't say you want to be friends with others when you meet for the first time." She continued with a serious face: "So, can we be friends when we meet next time? "
Every sentence of Li Qianqian seemed to have an unexpected attribute, and Zhuang Qingchan, who seemed to have adapted to this style in a short period of time, had no choice but to reply: "Okay. See you next time."
It is difficult for anyone to take this kind of verbal agreement seriously, but Zhuang Qingchan vaguely understands that the other party probably really means it.
Anyway, the crowd is vast, and the chance of seeing each other next time is very slim. Besides, after going through all these nonsensical things, Zhuang Qingchan's impression of Li Qianqian is unbelievably good.

The help that the real beast refers to can provide three times of route guidance for free.
This "route guidance" refers to: turn left, go straight, the third door, turn right, turn left, turn left, the fifth door, turn right, turn right, go straight, turn right, the second door... …
The real beast clown took out an electronic board, and said something like a rap without panting, his mouth opened and closed, and almost ghost images appeared
But Zhuang Qingchan knew that her mother's heart would never be unshakable, so she didn't mention it any more, she just put away her own violin, adjusted her mother's violin, and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the whole piano room s position.
For this reason, Zhuang Qingchan also made a special trip to the largest musical instrument repair center in the city.After all, a violin that has been neglected for more than ten years needs some conditioning in order to be used again.
Zhuang Qingchan knew very well that even if her mother hadn't really played that violin for more than ten years, even if she placed that violin among dozens of similar-looking ones, her mother could recognize it at a glance: this was her most important partner.
Zhuang Qingchan took a handful of water and slapped it on her cheek. The warm heat spread to her face immediately, but then it gradually turned cold.
It couldn't be better.
Really, it couldn't be better.
Even though she rationally thinks her actions are correct, even if she was unable to fulfill her mother's expectations, she still feels a deep self-blame all the time for destroying her mother's only wish and dream. This kind of guilt and pain haunted her like tarsal maggots.
Zhuang Qingchan remembered that from the time she could remember, her father seldom came home, and even when she returned home, there were endless quarrels. Perhaps these quarrels were initiated by her mother, but in her young life, there was only her mother.
When Zhuang Qingchan was young, she didn't like to have contact with strangers. Only her mother and the violin occupied every corner of her life.The mother has a bad temper and is very strict with her. She has never even received a compliment from her mother.
But there are also very few times when the young Zhuang Qingchan composes the melody to barely meet the mother's standard, the mother will reach out and touch her head, and say to her in a rare soft tone: "Practice hard, you can do better " Zhuang Qingchan only remembered that her mother had a pair of beautiful and slender hands.
Those hands were very warm.
In fact, if Mu Yunyin hadn't broken into her life and entered her heart step by step, Zhuang Qingchan would probably always be the same as before.She is withdrawn and reticent, and she lives alone. Maybe when she grows up, she will know how to cover up, how to modify her words and deeds to conform to the mainstream concept, but she will always be alone in her heart, and only her mother lives in her world.
But there is no if in this world.Mu Yunyin just appeared, at the most appropriate time and with the most appropriate posture, as if it had changed everything with ease.
So Zhuang Qingchan hoped to fulfill all of Mu Yunyin's wishes.Even now she can be sure that even if she doesn't do this, Mu Yunyin will not leave her.But Zhuang Qingchan still hopes to realize all of Mu Yunyin's expectations, reasonable or unreasonable, right or wrong.Just like Zhuang Qingchan wanted to fulfill her mother's wish.
The reason why Zhuang Qingchan resisted her mother was because she knew that this was the only way to get her mother and herself out of this vicious circle.Let the mother face up to the reality and pursue her dreams by herself, and also let her escape from the unfulfilled expectations and pressure and embark on her own future.
But Zhuang Qingchan was too hesitant.She is afraid that things will not develop as she expected, and she is afraid that even the slightest accident will happen to her mother. Whenever she has the idea of changing, she always seems to hear a voice in the haze.This voice accused her, accusing her of not only having no talent, of letting her mother's only expectation fail, but also wanting to turn her mother's last dream into powder with her own hands.
The existence of Mu Yunyin gave her strength and gave Zhuang Qingchan a reason to move forward.And now, all the endgame is reset, and the stalled gears start turning again.
My mother picked up her piano again and became the former music-loving player.
And Zhuang Qingchan finally got relief from the long-standing knot in her heart.
☆, business performance
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Although in response to environmental protection calls and various other considerations, fireworks and firecrackers have been expressly banned in many places.But Chinese New Year is still the most important day of the year for ordinary people.
Zhuang Qingchan was walking on the street.At this time, there is still more than a week before New Year's Eve, so although some small shops on the side of the road have closed their doors, the whole road does not appear to be depressed.On the contrary, despite the cold and windy weather, the layout of the streets already showed a hint of festive joy.
Zhuang Qingchan looked at the end of the street, while tightening the thick scarf around her neck, she said to Mu Yunyin beside her, "That's right there."
Zhuang Qingchan and Mu Yunyin were going to watch a music performance because they got two tickets.
Speaking of these two tickets, Zhuang Qingchan was also a little helpless.
At first, she saw them on the dining table in the living room when she got up in the morning, when Zhuang's mother was eating breakfast across the table.Zhuang Qingchan glanced at it, thought it belonged to her mother, so she didn't care, and went out to do volunteer work after breakfast.
When Zhuang Qingchan came back in the evening, the two tickets had disappeared, and her mother had dinner with her as usual, without saying a word about it.As a result, when Zhuang Qingchan returned to the room after washing the dishes, she saw the two tickets neatly piled up on the bedside table, and a corner was held down by a water glass to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
Zhuang Qingchan picked up the two "uninvited guests", stared at them for two seconds, and decisively turned on the computer to check the performance online, and then saw her mother's name in the list of performers in the program list.
"..."
Even though she had expected it, Zhuang Qingchan thought of her mother's dignified, calm and nonchalant appearance during breakfast and dinner today, and was slightly speechless for this silent, implicit yet direct and rude way of inviting.
The topic changed.
Zhuang's mother participated in the string quintet, and this is just one of the programs in this performance.Although Zhuang's mother was strong enough to support a solo recital when she was young, for Zhuang's mother who had disappeared for more than ten years and did not start practicing until more than half a year ago, and was preparing to make a comeback, she could get this opportunity now. , it is already not easy, and it can even be said to be the favor of fate.
This idea has always existed in Zhuang Qingchan's mind, until she accidentally caught a glimpse of someone when she was leaving the stage.
Zhuang Qingchan's father, Zhuang's mother's ex-husband.
The appearance of that man has not changed much from the appearance in Zhuang Qingchan's impression. Over 40 years old is the most mature and attractive age for a man after going through hardships.
And the appearance of this man immediately made Zhuang Qingchan figure out all the joints.
At the beginning, Zhuang Qingchan's mother met that love precisely because of some incidents in the performance.Now that many years have passed, with his outstanding methods and talents, the man who has accumulated time is naturally not the same as before.If it is said that there is his secret promotion, it is only natural that the mother's smooth sailing experience after her comeback.
Zhuang Qingchan only glanced at that, then looked away, and left the theater together with Mu Yunyin who didn't realize it.
That man had formed a new family a few years ago, and Zhuang Qingchan had no reason to intervene in his current behavior, whether it was out of guilt or otherwise.Thinking about it, he would not deliberately appear in front of his mother, so let's just pretend that he didn't know.
Mother's obsession with the violin is not comparable to that of Zhuang Qingchan. From the time when she picked up the bow again after a long time, the violin has returned to the most important position in her mother's life, filling the lack of soul.
The rapid return of mother status deserves the current re-emergence and greater honor, so there is no need to know some side episodes in the process.
"Auntie's performance feels amazing. She is indeed Xiaoqing's mother." Mu Yunyin walked out of the theater gate and praised Zhuang Qingchan.
Zhuang Qingchan was unmoved: "Really? How about Yunyin, by the way, who is the best player among the remaining four?"
"Uh..." Mu Yunyin was dumbfounded for a moment. For Mu Yunyin, who watched any music program as a layman, there was nothing good or bad about playing musical instruments.
However, in order not to let the topic stay on her pale and worthless praise, Mu Yunyin abruptly changed the subject: "Say we don't wait for auntie to finish packing and leave together? By the way, congratulations or praise?"
"If you do this, my mother will definitely not be happy." Zhuang Qingchan continued to explain without waiting for Mu Yunyin to ask, "Because she is easily shy."
"……Eh??"
Zhuang Qingchan continued calmly: "With a cold and awkward personality like my mother's, it's not so easy to make her happy... At least a simple and rude method will definitely not work."
"Oh..." Mu Yunyin felt very complicated when she heard it, and she really deserved to be Xiaoqing's mother.
#It seems that there is something wrong#
But at this moment, Zhuang Qingchan saw something interesting, pulled Mu Yunyin's sleeve and said, "Does Yunyin want to play with that?"
Mu Yunyin's gaze immediately shifted to the past:
A reality check project.
This is a labyrinth with countless forks.
Just like there are countless huge populations in this world, it is as difficult to find someone who is not in love with you in the vast sea of people, just as it is difficult to find a specific drop of water in the sea.So, can you successfully find the person you are looking for in this small maze?Come and try the fate between you!
Rules of the game: Two people are in a team, each holds one of a pair of love crystal balls, and enters the test of fate from the two entrances respectively. Those who find each other and successfully escape from the confusion within the specified time within one hour will pass the level. Get a copy of 'Proof of Love' (beautiful gift).If the goal is achieved within half an hour, as a reward for such a predestined lover, this maze will give a special gift.Please come on!
Ps: Once a pair of love crystal balls approach, they will change special colors. If the other party is not the other one in the pair, the crystal balls will not change in any way.Please make good use of this point and find someone who is destined to meet you!
PS’s ps: If you really can’t find the other party, you can use the configured drop-shaped device to ask for help, and there will be staff to take the two parties out of the confusing environment of the test.The mountain does not turn around.If you really don't have fate, don't force it, I believe there will always be someone better waiting for you!
This item is charged on time, please pay attention to the timing reminder on the configuration device.
☆, Trial Fate Lost Realm
This labyrinth is hidden under the dark curtain, so that people can't see a trace of the truth.But only from the outside, it can also be found that its footprint is quite amazing.If the road inside is really complicated, even if you look for a dead object, you may not be able to find it in an hour or two, let alone a living person who is constantly moving.
Although there is no limit to the failure of this amusement project if it exceeds one hour, the charging rule is that after the first hour, the fee charged for each hour is twice that of the previous hour...
"I feel that the rules and explanation are so bad... If you can't find it, you have no fate, and you should replace it. Isn't that forcing people to find it?! And once the specified time has passed, the price will increase exponentially. Sure enough. Profiteer!" Mu Yunyin looked at the rule board and couldn't help complaining.
"Well... Actually, if you have to explain it, it will make sense." Zhuang Qingchan said calmly and slowly, "If two people who have no fate and are not blessed want to be together, they must spend twice as much time as others. , pay a higher price, even if this is the case, it may usher in a counterproductive ending. The truth is indeed the case, strictly speaking, this regulation is very realistic."
Mu Yunyin felt even more frustrated when she heard it, so she puffed her face and continued to stare at the rule board and the mysterious maze behind it, as if she wanted to stare at a flower.
"Okay, it's still early anyway, do you want to play?" Zhuang Qingchan asked.
Mu Yunyin hesitated abnormally for a while before saying: "Then let's talk about it first, Xiaoqing can't just give up casually."
Zhuang Qingchan looked at Mu Yunyin's long-term look, and couldn't help but smiled before assuring her: "Understood. I will definitely try my best to find Yunyin."
So they registered at the entrance and received a configuration device and a love crystal ball.On the one hand, the configuration device has the function of timing and announcing the abandonment of the game. On the other hand, it is also an emergency contact device. If any unexpected situation occurs in the maze, you can contact the staff at any time. Of course, it is impossible to use this to find someone.And once the two crystal balls get close, they will emit a soft and strange light, which is really beautiful.However, with this sensing distance, the help in finding people is minimal, and it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.
After Miss Guidance and the two explained the rules, they said that they could store their belongings in the locker at the entrance and take them out after the game came out.
This inadvertent sentence made Mu Yunyin's thoughts change: If you keep your mobile phone on your body for contacting at any time, maybe it will be easier to find it...
As a result, the Miss Guidance seemed to be accustomed to these guests who were thinking about all kinds of secret tricks, and she continued to remind her unhurriedly: "Please keep your valuables with you. In addition, due to the fact that the territory of this fan has been blocked by unknown dark forces, Infection, all communication methods are unavailable, please use your thoughts to convey your thoughts and find your destined person."
What unknown dark forces, you just blocked the signal!
It's a bully, Mu Yunyin thought resentfully.
So Mu Yunyin and Zhuang Qingchan separated, and when they entered the maze from the two entrances, they suddenly felt a deep pressure: What should I do if I really can't find it all the time?
Zhuang Qingchan on the other side didn't seem to be burdened at all. After encouraging her best friend with words, she entered the entrance without hesitation.
Mu Yunyin, who wanted to look at each other in tacit understanding with her friend at the end: "..."
This must not be a good time to play together!
The interior decoration of the trial edge is very exquisite.The soft light above the head creates a hazy and dreamy mood. The water blue flowing lights flicker regularly. From time to time, dynamic and realistic images are projected on the walls. Various small and unique decorations are dotted around. Passing by some exhibition windows with pearls and gems, the charming luster appears, and people can't help but stop and watch.
If you don't have the idea of trying to find people, just using this place as an experience hall or exhibition hall can be regarded as a worthwhile trip.
However, the Labyrinth of Trial Fate obviously faithfully upholds its own maze attributes.Many forks and long passages with twists and turns will quickly make people lose their way.
Stepping through a door, using this as a dividing point, the environment and atmosphere of the passage are instantly different.If the front is a paradise of the natural ocean, this passage is the subject of myths and legends.The walls on both sides are covered with huge and exquisite murals, and some words are printed in the middle, some are stories about myths and legends, and some are ancient characters with strange and beautiful lines that are hard to understand.
Zhuang Qingchan understood that this kind of creativity and arrangement was probably arranged to prevent the guests from being too bored during the long and purposeless journey of finding people, and even considered the problem of aesthetic fatigue, which is indeed quite ingenious.
So Zhuang Qingchan followed the pace of visiting a museum, unhurriedly exploring this unknown and novel world.
Five or ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Zhuang Qingchan also ran into a few other tourists in the intricate passages. Their expressions were a little tense unconsciously. Respond—although the result is always disappointment.
Zhuang Qingchan, who didn't see her friend at all, was not in an impetuous mood like other guests.Since it is a setting in a labyrinth, it is obviously impossible for two similar entrances to meet together soon.With such a fully enclosed space and complicated maze routes, the probability of finding another person who enters through a different entrance is actually very low.
Moreover, each of the two participants has the ability to give up at any time, and they know that the other party also has this ability.Because of this, if the game has not been stopped every second, it means that the opponent has not given up and is still searching hard.Under such a cognitive premise, the person who first makes the decision to give up and cut off the other party's hard work and hope will undoubtedly bear a lot of psychological pressure.If it's just friends, it's better, but if it's a lover, the mental pressure will be even greater.
Knowing this, Zhuang Qingchan was even less worried.
The purpose of any entertainment project is to serve the guests and charge accordingly. Since the probability of successfully finding people is very low and the pressure to give up is great, the developers of this project will definitely take this into consideration.After all, a project that would make people unhappy and hurt their feelings would give customers a poor experience, and would not get a good reputation at all. In this Internet age, it is impossible to attract more customers.
Therefore, Zhuang Qingchan guessed that this game must have other secrets, which can help guests successfully find their significant other, and most of this help has set some restrictions, such as time constraints: how long does it take to get a reminder, or to find a certain person? A place hidden in the depths can only be activated and the like.Before that, all you can do is just wander around, try your luck and wait patiently.
Zhuang Qingchan thinks thoroughly, so her mood is still relatively stable; Mu Yunyin on the other side is just like those couples who are struggling to find their lover but have not seen the shadow of their lover.Seeing that the time will exceed the stipulated one hour, although the search can continue without limit, but that is the "no fate" judged by the game.
And this is second, the real key is that Mu Yunyin has no idea how long Zhuang Qingchan will choose to give up under the condition of overtime.
Compared with the irritability of being unable to find it all the time, the worry that the other party will choose to give up the search actually makes Mu Yunyin more anxious.If Mu Yunyin is allowed to choose, even if she keeps looking for it, no matter how long it takes, she will not accept giving up this option.But Xiao Qing, who has always been rational, is hard to say.
According to the pricing rules, the price in the second hour is twice the initial price, and it is quadrupled in the third hour. At this time, the total consumption is seven times the initial price.Coupled with factors such as physical exertion and exhaustion of patience, Mu Yunyin is not at all sure whether the game can last until the third hour.
It is obviously winter, and the amount of exercise so far is not too much, but it may be a huge psychological burden. Mu Yunyin is already faintly exhausted, and her back is covered with cold sweat.But Mu Yunyin not only didn't stop to rest, but unconsciously quickened her pace until——
As soon as Mu Yunyin turned a corner, she saw a scene that made her freeze in place for a moment.
This scene shocked Mu Yunyin's mind so much that it shook her heart like an eight-magnitude earthquake.
It was two girls hugging and kissing.
In fact, the light in the maze passageway is not very sufficient, and there is still some distance between Mu Yunyin and them.
But that's enough.
The clothes and appearance of the two girls are not easy to misidentify their gender, and what they are doing is clearly caught in Mu Yunyin's eyes, and there is no excuse to avoid recognition.
Mu Yunyin held her breath at this moment, and quickly retreated to the corner just now.
Until the picture disappeared from the field of vision, Mu Yunyin kept sliding down with her back against the wall, and finally sat leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
The light is soft, the air is quiet, and lovers kiss.It was clearly a hazy and beautiful picture, but the two protagonists in the picture had an indescribably huge impact on Mu Yunyin.
It seems to have revealed the most secret corner of Mu Yunyin's heart.That was something that Mu Yunyin didn't understand clearly yet, but now she was suddenly exposed to the sun and shivered...
It seemed that the thick city wall standing firmly, a gap was cracked under the shock, and then... it collapsed unstoppably and quickly.
The things that were blocked behind the city wall fell into the eyes without any concealment, directly hitting the heart and shocking.
Beads of sweat appeared under Mu Yunyin's forehead hair, and she sat slumped in place for a long time, unable to get up.
☆, Li Qianqian
The configuration device worn on the wrist shows that nearly an hour and a half has quietly passed.
Although Zhuang Qingchan was very confident in her deduction and was not worried that she would not be able to find Mu Yunyin in the end, her mood gradually became heavy unknowingly.
Because Zhuang Qingchan didn't know what Mu Yunyin was doing at the moment, was she desperately searching for herself?Are you full of anxiety and dare not let go of any corner?This kind of worry began to slowly erode Zhuang Qingchan's calm and calm thoughts, causing her thinking mode to continue to be biased in an irrational direction.
And when she walked into a new passage again, Zhuang Qingchan, who was no longer in the mood to appreciate the decoration, couldn't help being startled.
A young girl was leaning against the wall, slumped on the floor, eyes closed as if unconscious.The other party was dressed like a student, and was probably about the same age as Zhuang Qingchan.
Zhuang Qingchan suddenly thought that the other party had some sudden illness, and her first reaction was to check the other party's breath.
Sensing the clear and shallow breath with her fingers, Zhuang Qingchan immediately felt relieved.After sizing each other up, Zhuang Qingchan tried to push the girl's shoulder to see if he could wake her up.
The result was unexpected, the girl quickly came to her senses, her expression was a little dazed, and she yawned softly.
An unbelievable guess suddenly popped up in Zhuang Qingchan's mind, but she didn't pause much, and said to the girl, "Why are you lying here? Are you feeling unwell?" After asking, she subconsciously glanced at the girl The wrist, the device configured by the maze stays there properly.
"?" The girl looked up at Zhuang Qingchan, but her face was expressionless and she didn't say a word.
Zhuang Qingchan felt that the other party had just woken up and didn't understand the situation, and was about to explain a few more words, but suddenly heard the other party say: "You are so beautiful... What's your name?"
Zhuang Qingchan was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that she was hallucinating.
The girl didn't hear Zhuang Qingchan's response, so she continued without expression: "I'm Li Qianqian, can I know you? Beautiful... sister?"
Is the way of chatting up now so novel?Zhuang Qingchan, who felt deeply that she couldn't keep up with the trend, was at a loss.
However, Zhuang Qingchan saw this strange girl with a huge difference in expression and words, seeing that she was still slumped on the ground, and her face was a little pale, so she asked patiently and repeatedly: "Why are you sitting here? I need you to contact the staff." ?"
The girl heard the question clearly this time, and followed Zhuang Qingchan's question and replied: "I sat here to rest, and fell asleep unexpectedly...Why do you need to contact the staff?"
Zhuang Qingchan forcibly saw a trace of confusion from the other party's unchanged expression, and Zhuang Qingchan, who knew that the other party was really just sleeping, didn't know what to say for a while.
After the other party asked the question, he waited for Zhuang Qingchan's answer with an upright and serious face.
So Zhuang Qingchan said in desperation: "If you are very tired, you might as well end the game and go home to sleep. Sitting here is easy to get sick." And it is easy to cause misunderstandings to others... Mistakenly thinking that the other party is sick and comatose is very frightening The jumping Zhuang Qingchan thought silently.
The girl paused before answering: "Oh, yes, I see...but beautiful sister, your mind is jumping." The girl spoke every word very seriously, which made people feel even more helpless.
...Whose thought is jumping.Zhuang Qingchan was sighing to herself, when she saw that the other party really obediently pressed the button to quit the game, the action was straightforward and without hesitation.
"..."
Just now, Zhuang Qingchan, who was still worried about her best friend, couldn't help feeling some sympathy for this girl's companion...
And that girl, or Li Qianqian is still obsessed with the first question: "Sister, what's your name?"
Zhuang Qingchan is actually not used to being so close to strangers when they meet for the first time, even if the other party is a girl of the same age.But although this girl Li Qianqian is indeed very weird, it is also strange that it is hard to hate her.
Looking at the other person's expressionless but inexplicably persistent eyes, thinking that the left and right are just names, and there is nothing to hide, Zhuang Qingchan said, "My name is Zhuang Qingchan." Only one name was mentioned, and nothing else was mentioned.
The other party didn't ask any further questions, such as age, school, contact information and so on.And Li Qianqian seemed to have eyes that could speak, and Zhuang Qingchan inexplicably saw the obvious happiness and satisfaction from her unchanged expression, and her mood was also very subtle.
But strangely, Zhuang Qingchan inexplicably had a slight liking for this girl.
At this moment, the sound of rhythmic footsteps came.
The sound of da, da, da, wafting in the empty and dark passageway made people's heart tense unconsciously.
"Yo ho!!"
Before the silhouette of the other party was fully revealed in the light, he greeted him loudly and cheerfully by surprise.
Zhuang Qingchan was taken aback by the sudden attack, while Li Qianqian always had that expression.
"Dear guest, because you have stayed in the labyrinth for too long, you have finally attracted the attack of the unique monster in the labyrinth—the true and false beast of love~ Then please accept our test!" The two dressed in exactly the same The man in the black and white striped clown suit spoke together.Not only are they dressed in the same way, but even their appearance is almost the same, and they are almost indistinguishable at first glance.
The twins continued without waiting for Zhuang Qingchan's reaction:
"I am a real beast, and he is a fake beast. If you believe in me, as a thank you, I will help you find the person you are looking for!"
"I am the real beast. Only if you believe in me, can I help you find the predestined person you want!"
The two clowns standing side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, each covered their stomachs with a white cloth. At this time, they were covering their stomachs with their hands and exaggerating their expressions, announcing exactly the same argument.
Zhuang Qingchan immediately understood that this must be the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time to find Mu Yunyin, and while she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she pulled herself together and thought about how to get the answer.
After thinking for a second, Zhuang Qingchan first asked: "What will happen if I believe in fake beasts?"
The person on the opposite side was clearly prepared, and replied in a fluent tone: "If you believe in the fake beast, because you feel that your self-esteem as a real beast has been deeply hurt, unless you bribe me well, I will definitely not help you." !"
Zhuang Qingchan: "..."
So even if the choice is wrong, it can be solved by adding money and bribes, right... This "self-esteem can be bought with money" setting makes people feel very speechless for some reason.I don't know whether to say it's very caring, or to complain about being immoral.But since there are no other hints, this is probably a purely lucky choice, which is actually very simple.
Just when Zhuang Qingchan thought this way, the clowns spoke again:
"Of course, you don't have to accept the test. To be honest, we don't like sports very much. If you insist on running away, we probably don't bother to chase after you." One of the clowns said weakly, and by the way, it was very appropriate Stretched.
Another person continued: "That's right. However, without our approval, even if you escape, the Lost Realm will send new monsters to attack you."
"The next monster, the Wisdom Beast, is not as easy-talking as my real beast. If you fail its test, it will definitely not talk to you anymore, and bribery is useless~ because the Wisdom Beast has such a bad temper. Tough!" The talking clown said with a grimace.
So it means that you can also choose to use the method of solving puzzles instead of taking chances... What a variety of designs.Zhuang Qingchan who was thinking like this had already made up her mind.
She said: "I accept your test, can I just guess it?"
At most, it was just a matter of adding some money, no matter how confident she was in herself, Zhuang Qingchan didn't intend to take the risk of disappointing Mu Yunyin.
"That's right! After guessing, we will reveal the answer~" The clowns on both sides patted the white cloth in front of their stomachs at the same time, and then said in unison, "So respected guest, who do you want to believe?"
Zhuang Qingchan glanced at them, but she didn't have any clues, so she planned to make a random guess.
Unexpectedly, Li Qianqian suddenly said to the clown on the left: "You are a real beast, I believe you can get help?"
Li Qianqian's tone was too serious, looking at her eyes looking straight at her, the clown was inexplicably stunned for a second, and subconsciously replied "...Of course!" After answering, he hesitated and said, " But we are here to test another guest... Miss, you have given up the game, and it is useless for me to help you."
"I know." Li Qianqian nodded.
Unexpectedly—"The one on the left is a real beast." Li Qianqian's next sentence came out suddenly.
"Eh?" The two clowns and Zhuang Qingchan were taken aback at the same time.
Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously turned around and asked, "Why?" At this moment, the two clowns also focused their attention on Li Qianqian in unison.
"...Because he said he was a real beast?" Li Qianqian replied facing the three pairs of confused eyes. When she spoke, she looked confused as if she was asking, "Why are you all so strange?"
Zhuang Qingchan suddenly remembered the conversation Li Qianqian had with the clown just now: "..."
"I trust the person on the left." Zhuang Qingchan said.Anyway, she didn't know the answer, she was just guessing, there was no need to take advantage of others' kindness.
The clowns took off the white cloth.The clown on the left happily said: "Congratulations, you got the answer right!" The clown on the right followed with a sad face, and said in a decadent tone: "Congratulations, you got the answer right..."
Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Qianqian's expression. Although there was still no change, Zhuang Qingchan felt that the other party took this result for granted.
There is a 50% probability of each, but Zhuang Qingchan somehow feels that Li Qianqian really does not seem to be aimless.
At this time, the real beast clown said: "Then according to the agreement, I will help the lady who is willing to trust me and provide you with guidance."
The fake beast clown said: "Miss, you and your friends have given up on the Trial of the Predicament, and I will take you out of here." These words were directed at Li Qianqian.
So Zhuang Qingchan said to Li Qianqian: "Thank you very much just now. Remember to take a good rest when you go back." After a pause, she continued: "It's not safe for a girl to sleep outside alone...it's better not to do this in the future."
For some reason, Zhuang Qingchan subconsciously used the tone of admonishing a child, and felt something was wrong after speaking, but——
"Oh." Li Qianqian nodded obediently, "I see, Sister Qingchan."
For this upgraded title, coupled with the other party's doll-like delicate appearance, the expressionless face that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the well-behaved child-like answer, this strange combination can hardly make Zhuang Qingchan feel unhappy and disgusted. such negative emotions.
Zhuang Qingchan finally said helplessly: "Then goodbye."
Li Qianqian said: "My friend said before: You can't say you want to be friends with others when you meet for the first time." She continued with a serious face: "So, can we be friends when we meet next time? "
Every sentence of Li Qianqian seemed to have an unexpected attribute, and Zhuang Qingchan, who seemed to have adapted to this style in a short period of time, had no choice but to reply: "Okay. See you next time."
It is difficult for anyone to take this kind of verbal agreement seriously, but Zhuang Qingchan vaguely understands that the other party probably really means it.
