Neverland

Xu Muzhou's footsteps stopped, and he couldn't walk immediately.

He turned his head to look at Yan Cen, who was supporting the small kang table on the bed, looking at him with a smile, as if he was sure that he would stay.

Xu Muzhou: "..."

If possible, he would like to tell Yan Cen sincerely that this kind of behavior is not called "with confidence" in modern society, it is called "fire".

Xu Muzhou thinks that he is a very rational and calm adult man. If he were replaced by a young girl in love, Yan Cen would immediately suffer from "Do you think I am making trouble for no reason?" Me?", "Do you know where you are wrong?" three deadly bursts.

But precisely because of this, Xu Muzhou suddenly discovered a problem——Yan Cen's emotional module is weak, and he seems to be very bad at dealing with "quarrels" in love and the subsequent "reconciliation" process.

Xu Muzhou deeply doubts that Yan Cen's love story has been observed in various world line missions for so many years, and he is a very typical theoretical player.Usually, he can handle it when he is in love, but now when an emergency occurs, he will reveal his secrets. The overall coping ability is only a little bit better than that of the straight man of steel-at least he has a good attitude.

People with high IQs are often not necessarily open-minded in love. This is because they are used to dealing with emotional problems with a career-minded way of thinking.It's like the dam's valve wrench is on the air valve, and it can't be used at all.

For Yan Cen, what a "person" is thinking and what a "lover" is thinking are two propositions.

Xu Muzhou recalled Yan Cen's overturned car suspiciously, only to belatedly realize that the best and most natural thing Yan Cen did was to be good to him.

Expressing his love for him barely counts.

Xu Muzhou tried to detach himself from this relationship and examine this relationship from a third-party perspective that he is very good at.

From the moment when Yan Cen showed his liking for him in the task world with European background, until now, apart from the daily life of non-nutritious love, the biggest change in their lives is that Yan Cen opened up half of them for him. Living space.

Yan Cen took Xu Muzhou into his living space, and gave him half of his originally closed and private self.

He was agitated by the matter of Qin Wei and Song Yan at the time, thinking that Yan Cen didn't make any demands on him because he didn't think about the long-term. No way.

Yan Cen seems to be only good at asking himself. His superb ability and IQ make him seem to do whatever he wants, but if you actually dig out his character, you will find that Yan Cen is restrained and deep.

It is human instinct to like and be close, but falling in love is a science.

Xu Muzhou doesn't know whether Yan Cen has been in Neverland since he was born, and he doesn't know what he has experienced in his life, but judging from the way of getting along with each other in Neverland alone, we can't expect them to have any good relationships. Social skills.

Regarding how Yan Cen died in the mission, it can almost be regarded as the opportunity for Xu Muzhou to come to Neverland, and it is also something Xu Muzhou has always been thinking about.Whether it is viewed from a broad or narrow perspective, it cannot be counted as a topic of daily chat.

Yan Cen will not bring up this matter for no reason, Xu Muzhou knows it very well.

Because the point of their previous conflict was concealment - Yan Cen made the decision for Xu Muzhou, but he didn't tell him why, it was this kind of concealment and authoritarian attitude that angered Xu Muzhou.

In the final analysis, the core conflict that cannot be discussed in this matter lies in information asymmetry.

So now Yan Cen wanted to solve this matter, so he passed a step to Xu Muzhou first.He still didn't want to tell Xu Muzhou the truth about Neverland and the basis for his decision, but he changed another incident with similar status to confess.

This is a kind of candid frankness.

It's cunning...and clumsy.

It is impossible for Yan Cen not to know that Xu Muzhou knew that he was cheating, but he did it anyway, because no matter whether Xu Muzhou would lose his temper because of this incident, Yan Cen still wanted to do it to the greatest extent he could. frankly.

This is also a kind of honesty, Xu Muzhou thought.

Knowingly committing a crime and overturning the car unintentionally are completely different in nature, Xu Muzhou sighed in his heart, feeling as if he was not so angry anymore.

He pushed Yan Cen's hand away, turned around and walked to the corner of the room, and found a basin of clear water on the wooden shelf in the corner.Xu Muzhou stretched out his hand to check the temperature, a little dissatisfied.

But it will be dawn in a few hours, and there is nowhere to find hot water in the middle of the night, so I can only make do with it.

Team leader Yan has always been good at climbing along poles, and when Xu Muzhou returned with a water basin, Yan Cen had already dismantled the parts of his clothes and was taking off his robe.

Ancient clothes are actually not difficult to wear, much easier to deal with than a shirt with many buttons. Yan Cen loosens the tie, and his loose robe will automatically fall down.Judging by the vertical feeling, it is comparable to other high-end products.

Yan Cen lit the candles on the table with a wax skewer, and stretched out his hand to try to take the things in Xu Muzhou's hand.As a result, the object was not received, but was slapped by the other party instead.

"Take off your clothes." Xu Muzhou said ruthlessly, "Today, I'm going to beat you up."

Yan Cen: "..."

These words are actually very intimidating in this situation, the original smile on Yan Cen's face suddenly froze, showing a rare look of shock, I don't know if he was shocked that Xu Muzhou dared to do something to him , I am still shocked by the phrase "the overlord bows hard".

Of course Xu Muzhou would not attack a wounded man in a frenzy, after he finished his harsh words, he immediately felt relieved, so he stretched out his hand to remove Yan Cen's shirt, revealing the wound on his waist.

As a military commander, Yan Huaishan has excellent physical fitness, and Yan Cen can do a lot by himself, so the wound looks bloodshot and hideous, but in fact it didn't hurt any serious parts.

It's just that the wound was on the waist, and the wound was inevitably involved when walking. The original neat incision now looks a little turned out.

"This won't work." Xu Muzhou frowned and said, "Do you need stitches?"

Yan Cen recovered from the shocking declaration, glanced down at himself, walked around Xu Muzhou's arm, threw the towel on the side of the basin into the water and stirred it, then dried the water with one hand, He wiped away the dried blood stains on his body.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Xu Muzhou felt that what he was wiping was not his own body, but the unpainted brick wall next door.

After Yan Cen hastily wiped off the blood stains, he picked up a bottle of golden sore medicine from the side, sprinkled a thick layer on the wound, and pulled a white cloth to bandage it.

Xu Muzhou couldn't stand his random bandaging techniques, so he helped Yan Cen straighten the crooked white cloth, wrapped it around the wound three times, and tied a very beautiful knot.

Throwing Yan Cen's blood-stained robe on the ground, Xu Muzhou pushed his shoulder, leaned forward, and knelt down on the edge of the bed.

"Okay, don't laugh." Xu Muzhou said, "The Overlord hasn't bowed yet, what a beauty."

Yan Cen supported the bed with one hand, while holding Xu Muzhou's waist with the other hand, he pulled him down, letting him sit on his lap.

"Okay, Overlord." Yan Cen made a gesture and sighed: "How are you going to bow."

"You are so beautiful." Xu Muzhou sneered, "Give me a confession and be lenient."

"Tell me everything." Yan Cen said.

He was not afraid of Xu Muzhou getting into trouble with him, he was even more afraid of Xu Muzhou thinking about it by himself.Xu Muzhou is very smart, so he may not be able to guess the truth. Instead of letting him investigate and figure it out on his own, it's better for him to show the other party something he can see.

"That mission was not special. If you really want to talk about it, it's actually very simple." Yan Cen said: "There were only two optional identities for that mission. Apart from the one I chose, there was only one 70-year-old Grandpa...So unfortunately, the mission identity I chose is exactly where the obsession of the mission object lies."

"...What do you mean?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"The obsession with the mission goal lies in the identity I choose." Yan Cen said: "The mission goal is a girl. I can't remember how old she is. Originally, the family was well-off. Although her mother died early, her father treated her very well. Overall, she was very happy. But unfortunately, she met a man who cheated her feelings, and treated her badly after marrying her. Cheating, domestic violence, everything, she was pregnant for about four years Yue also had a miscarriage because of this man."

Xu Muzhou began to feel that this incident was a bit familiar.

"Later, the girl's parents learned of what had happened to their daughter and wanted them to divorce. It's a pity that the man was relentless and fought and made trouble, so angry that the girl's father had a heart attack and died." Yan Cen paused, Then he continued: "Let's not mention what happened later, they divorced successfully, but a lot of property was taken away. The hatred of the mission target is precise and clear, and I just want this man to pay for his life... I also entered the mission world It was only later that I found out about it.”

Xu Muzhou vaguely guessed, but still asked: "...so?"

"I satisfied her." Yan Cen said lightly, "I jumped off the Huangpu River in front of her."

Xu Muzhou: "..."

Xu Muzhou had only heard of Yan Cen's death for no reason during the mission, but he didn't know how he died.Xu Muzhou originally thought that suicide was nothing more than burning charcoal, cutting his wrists and taking sleeping pills, but he didn't expect that he really had the guts to jump into the river.

Drowning is a very painful way to die, not only to endure suffocation, but also to endure overwhelming despair.

No wonder Neverland can't be sure whether Yan Cen did it intentionally or not. Say he did it intentionally, and there was a reason for it. Say he didn't intend it. He really jumped into the river by himself.

The statement given by Yongwuxiang is that Yan Cen died for no reason during the mission, that is to say, Yan Cen did not end the mission after jumping into the river.

Xu Muzhou got the answer, but he didn't feel relaxed in his heart. He absently touched Yan Cen's face to comfort him.

——Because he suddenly discovered a problem.

In the mission world, Yan Cen used someone else's mission identity. If he jumped into the river and returned to Neverland with the result of "death", wouldn't the mission identity he used also be unable to survive?

——Although this man is indeed worthy of death from an emotional point of view, is Neverland qualified to execute ordinary people?

Xu Muzhou knew if there was one without asking, and if there was one, his internship tasks would not have to go through a lot of trouble running with the trial system.

That Yan Cen killed the characters in the original timeline on his own initiative, why did Neverland count him as a violation.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou suddenly asked: "If you had chosen another mission identity at that time, how would you complete this mission and help this woman kill this man?"

Yan Cen only took him as a casual question, and said casually: "Of course not—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly realized something, and his expression changed.
