Wen Er sat at the desk, looking at the cut and plastic-packed illustration, he couldn't recover.
"I've seen the incident report for this time."
Pu Ying closed the journal and tidied up the desktop: "It can be judged that it was a premeditated data theft."
He knew Wen Er's reason for coming.
For the person in charge of the General Research Institute, the characterization of this incident is not only related to the attribution of responsibility, but also related to the follow-up treatment plan.
The nature of data theft and damage is very serious. The Ministry of Science and the security department are investigating. The investigation team will not leave the General Research Institute until the official results are obtained.
If it is judged as dereliction of duty, Wen Er is likely to lose his position as director and person in charge.
At such times, anyone would feel uneasy and nervous, and try to use some more direct means to obtain inside information in advance.
Like... through the back door.
Pu Ying has already met many such people, and he is not surprised that Wen Er will come: "The investigation has not officially started, and I don't have enough information to give you more answers."
"However, please trust Director Wen that we will ensure a sufficiently objective attitude in the ruling."
Pu Ying: "According to the regulations, we should not have private contact with the staff of the General Research Institute. We also ask Director Wen to cooperate..."
Pu Ying stopped talking: "Director Wen?"
Wen You came back to his senses and raised his eyes.
Pu Ying: "Is there any problem?"
Wen Nu unconsciously squeezed her palm.
He couldn't even concentrate his energy, as every time he was uncomfortable because of Pu Ying's businesslike indifference.
He didn't pay attention to what Pu Ying said at all, the photo was still swaying in front of his eyes.
It shook him so much that he couldn't calm down.
He was too familiar with the figures in the photos.
Even though Luo Ran is almost completely different from the one in the photo now, when Wen Er stood behind the monitor many times and watched Luo Ran enter the electronic storm from a long distance, he would still see it in the time and space distorted by the strong magnetic field. The shadow of Luo Ran.
...But why did Pu Ying save Luo Ran's photos on purpose?
Does Pu Ying know Luo Ran?What is his relationship with Luo Ran, does he know what he is doing with Luo Ran?
Does Pu Ying know...how crazy things she is doing to save him?
Wen Nu looked at the photo, the expression hidden in her pupils kept changing.
"...are you watching this?"
Pu Ying sensed his gaze: "Director Wen knows this person?"
Wen You's eyes twitched slightly.
He quickly controlled his emotions and smiled: "...just remembering some things from the past."
"Do you remember? When we were kids... you also liked to take pictures."
Wen Nu said, "Auntie bought you a camera, and you hold it every day."
Pu Ying frowned slightly.
He didn't like that Wen Er brought up the past for granted.
Those pasts are completely unfamiliar to him, no matter how others mention them, insinuating sideways, pointing straight to the point, he has no relevant memories, nor can he recall any feelings.
Occasionally, he feels that he is actually just a shadow left after the "Pu Ying" was stripped of all vitality and emotion, and he actually knows what he is.
Cold, heartless monsters.
"I don't know." Pu Ying lowered her gaze, "I only know that the name he used to publish the photo is St."
Pu Ying: "The journal said that the source of this name is strom."
Wen Nu knew the meaning of the word.
He didn't know whether he was relieved or he was more nervous, so he didn't speak rashly, and just nodded his head copingly.
Storm, storm.
Luo Ran used to be a storm chaser who specialized in photographing extreme weather, and many photos were published in journals. In the year they first met, Luo Ran excitedly showed him.
These journals have always had a backlog of manuscripts, and it is not surprising that it has been delayed for several years. Perhaps it is just that this issue has opened up a skylight, so I picked out the old manuscripts to fill the seats.
Pu Ying's mother is an artist and is very interested in photography... Pu Ying will keep this photo, maybe she just saw it by chance, and wants to ask the photographer if there are more works.
Wen Nu convinced herself and settled down a bit.
He regained his usual sanity, slowly recalled what Pu Ying said just now, and realized that Pu Ying didn't like this kind of state of having personal relationships at work.
It would only be counterproductive to bring up the data theft, not to mention... there is no need for Pu Ying to have prejudice against him because of this matter.
Wen Er didn't want to make their atmosphere too stiff, so he looked at the closed journal: "Are you interested in geography now?"
"It's okay." Pu Ying said.
"If you are interested, feel free to tell me, and I can also go to find out."
Wen You's tone was very peaceful: "...Pu Ying."
Pu Ying frowned indistinctly.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not...I really didn't come here to set up a relationship with you today."
Wen Er said, "I just haven't seen you for too long, and I want to see you."
Pu Ying asked: "Look at me?"
Wen Er met his gaze, paused, and her expression returned to normal: "If you bother me, I'll leave now."
Wen Er stood up and walked out the door by herself.
Pu Ying was still sitting quietly until he stretched out his hand to pull the office door, and finally said: "Wait a minute."
Wen Er stopped at the door.
Pu Ying lowered her gaze, but her body didn't move.
Nothing could be reflected in his pupils, not even the slightest bit of warmth from the sunlight trickling in through the window.
... Everyone told him that when he was a child, Wen Er was the one who took care of him the most.
The Wen family and the Pu family are family friends, and the two families take turns at the helm of the consortium. They have been married for generations, and the children of the family have grown up together.
Those who are similar in age and status, most of them will settle down at an early age, go to school together, accept the training of the family together, and decide the way to go in the future together.
His grandfather told him that after his disappearance, he had detected the residual tiny electronic pulse in the canopy of the tree where they played hide-and-seek.
Only a person caught in an electrical storm would leave that pulse after disappearing.
Since college, Wen Er has plunged headlong into the research of electronic storms.
It is also because Wen Er discovered in the research that the pulse frequency caused by each person involved in the electronic storm has a slight difference, so that the Ministry of Science was able to improve the identification system dedicated to tracing people, and the Pu family found him. return.
"After the Pu family found me, my grandfather didn't tell you right away."
Pu Ying said: "It's because I don't remember anything, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed and unable to bear this kind of blow."
Wen Er knew that Pu Ying would explain this to himself, so it wasn't surprising. He turned back to look at Pu Ying, and said softly, "I know."
...Wen Er was indeed hit hard.
According to the plan of the Pu family, it is to arrange for Pu Ying to join the science department first, let Wen Er get the notice from the official document, have a psychological buffer, and then try to make Wen Er gradually accept that "Pu Ying is completely different from the past".
No one thought that Pu Ying would also go to that banquet.
Even the Pu family didn't expect it, so they didn't make preparations in advance, so they had to meet at the banquet in such a hasty manner.
Wen Er went crazy.
"That day." Pu Ying asked, "What did you do after you left the banquet?"
Wen Nu was about to speak, but was stopped by his question.
...He drank a lot of wine, went to find Luo Ran, and vented his anger by treating Luo Ran as Pu Ying.
Luo Ran wanted to escape home, but met someone he specially arranged to stop Luo's father and Luo's mother from greeting, and heard the conversation.
He pretended to have forgotten everything, and went to pick up Luo Ran—from Luo Ran's perspective, he might have indeed forgotten everything.It makes sense that he drank and was too drunk, so he did some nasty things and woke up and couldn't remember them.
Luo Ran was easily coaxed by him, took him home, and became Pu Ying's stand-in.
……
Of course Pu Ying would not know about these things.
Pu Ying doesn't know anything, doesn't care about anything... Now Pu Ying is just a heartless monster.
For a moment, Wen Er almost wanted to tell the story, to see if it would cause Pu Ying to feel even the slightest wave of dissatisfaction or resistance.
Wen Er lowered her gaze, tried her best to suppress the crazy thoughts, and readjusted her expression.
"I drank a lot..." Wen Er said, "I drank a lot and did some things."
Wen Er asked, "What about you? What did you do after returning from the banquet?"
Pu Ying did not speak.
"I know, you can't do anything."
Wen Er knew a long time ago: "For you, it's just meeting an inexplicable stranger."
"Not exactly." Pu Ying said.
Wen Er smiled.
He knew that he should control his emotions, but Luo Ran's abnormality and the successive derailments of things were constantly hurting his nerves. The photo of Luo Ran on Pu Ying's desk pushed him to the brink of losing control.
Wen You's tone was filled with uncontrollable sarcasm: "Not exactly?"
Just as Pu Ying was about to speak, she paused slightly when she met Wen You's gaze.
… After returning from the banquet, Pu Ying locked herself in the study and read the diary, photos and audio-visual materials belonging to that Pu Ying for a day and a night.
Pu Ying rummaged through every trace, trying to find her original self and give it back to these people.
He just couldn't make it.
Pu Ying originally wanted to explain this to Wen Er, but he suddenly didn't want to.
Pu Ying is very familiar with Wen Er's gaze.
"You also think that I am an incomplete defective product?" Pu Ying asked.
Wen You suffocated.
Wen Nu's complexion changed slightly. He always thought that he was hiding this thought very well. He never thought that Pu Ying could see it: "I—"
Pu Ying nodded: "I think so too."
"I owe you." Pu Ying said, "Before I came this time, my grandfather told me about the two of us. If there were no accidents at the beginning, according to the agreement between the two families, we should have legally formed a spouse relationship at the right age. .”
"...Pu Ying."
Wen Nu was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure: "You don't have to be like this."
Wen Er didn't want to talk about defective products anymore, he was eager to let this topic go, and he spoke a little faster than usual.
"What happened at the banquet was because I didn't control my emotions... I won't do it in the future."
Wen Er: "Don't worry, I won't force you, I know it's for you—"
Pu Ying: "This is an obligation I should fulfill."
Wen Er: "..."
"If you want, when this investigation is over, no matter what the result is, we can go to get the certificate."
Pu Ying: "I will learn the rules of the family and how to get along with my spouse."
"I will learn... how people feel."
Pu Ying asked: "Do you want to?"
Wen You's light gray pupils narrowed slightly.
Pu Ying looked at him quietly.
……
After a long time, Pu Ying nodded: "I see."
"Pu Ying." Wen Er came back to his senses and walked back quickly, "Listen to me."
It is not surprising that Pu Ying said these words, he can only think logically.For Pu Ying, becoming a spouse is just like being transferred to a department or accepting a job, it is nothing more than a thing to do.
But Pu Ying's expression suddenly made him feel uneasy like never before.
"I'm not unwilling, don't get me wrong."
"I just don't want to use our childhood relationship to kidnap you to make a choice before you recover."
Wen You stretched out her hand and held Pu Ying's arm, and was slightly shivered by the coldness of her palm.
"I want to cure you first." Wen Er said, "Believe me, I will soon find a solution, and I can cure you."
Wen Er spoke very fast, and his eyes showed a strange, almost paranoid excitement: "The research has already begun, just wait a little longer, and I will definitely make you return to what you were supposed to be. look..."
Pu Ying repeated in a low voice: "What I should have been."
Wen Nu squeezed his arm tightly, nodded: "Yes, you—"
Pu Ying: "Is it up to you to decide?"
Wen Nu was stunned.
He never thought that Pu Ying would ask this question, he looked at Pu Ying with some disbelief in his eyes: "...What did you say?"
Pu Ying lowered her eyes and looked at the photo on the table.
The real Pu Ying disappeared when she was six years old, and 20 years later, she was left to the Pu family and Wen Er as an incomplete and defective product.
What would it be like for the real Pu Ying to grow up without being caught in the electronic storm?
Pu Ying couldn't get an answer, and he didn't have the desire to get an answer. He just received a "World Geography" journal that was delivered to the wrong place when he arrived at the office this morning.
The courier knocked the periodical on the floor in a reckless way, and he picked it up just in time to see the open page.
……
Pu Ying looked away from the photo.
"Also." Pu Ying said.
Wen You's face was still a little pale, he didn't slow down, and asked in a low voice: "What?"
Pu Ying didn't speak again.
Wen Er was responsible for taking care of him when he was a child. He came out of the electronic storm, and it was Wen Er's research that allowed him to return to the family smoothly.
Wen Er wants to decide what he should become, that's fine.
Pu Ying got up, he took his arm out of Wen Er's hand, gestured politely to see off the guests, carefully put away the plastic-wrapped photo, and reopened the "World Geography" that he hadn't had time to finish reading. .
Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and he doesn't want to talk to Wen Er anymore.
In the sea of consciousness, Yu Tang turned off the light screen of the online live broadcast.
At the end of the monitoring screen, Wen Er did not leave the office immediately.
He had already sensed the uneasiness, and tried several times to re-communicate with Pu Ying and explain what he meant, but all failed.
For Pu Ying, the conversation is over when it is over.
"Host, just now Pu Ying clearly agreed to marry Wen Er, why didn't Wen Er agree?"
The system didn't quite understand: "Wen Er doesn't like Pu Ying?"
Yu Tang: "I like it."
The system flashed a small red light and floated beside him.
"Wen You's favorability for Pu Ying has remained above 95, and it has been more than three years."
Yu Tang called out the light screen: "Very high."
...It was even abnormally high.
Even ordinary lovers may affect their favorability due to quarrels, misunderstandings, and estrangement.
Sometimes, nothing even happens, just because of the ordinary time passing, the favorability will slowly decline unknowingly.
But Wen You's affection for Pu Ying has never been lower than 95.
Yu Tang still had some impressions, and opened the historical records: "During the banquet, during the 10 minutes when Wen Er clashed with Pu Ying, who had lost his memory, his favorability for Pu Ying soared to 100...should be the upper limit of the value that the system can detect Only 100."
After the banquet, Yu Tang was knocked to the ground by Wen You, who smelled of alcohol all over his body, and even his energy bar as a stand-in toolman fluctuated briefly because of Wen You's favorability overflowing greatly.
The system racked up all the data: "...The favorability detector is broken again?"
Yu Tang smiled, took out the snack gift pack he just bought from the mall, and distributed it to the system and the little red card.
Of course, the favorability detector can't be broken.
Wen Er is not satisfied with Luo Ran, nor is he satisfied with the current Pu Ying, but he does have a strong and almost paranoid affection for "Pu Ying".
"If I'm not wrong."
Yu Tang said: "Wen Er is obsessed to the point of morbidity, and the one whose favorability continues to be above 95 is the 'Pu Ying' he constructed himself."
The system was stunned: "He even thought of a partner for himself?!"
Yu Tang: "...Don't always talk like Luo Ran."
system:"……"
Yu Tang is actually just speculating.
He has been flipping through "Human Behavior" for the past two days. If he guessed correctly, Wen Er should have sketched out what "Pu Ying" should look like when he grows up through his memory in these years of obsession.
Wen Er is almost paranoid about this fictitious Pu Ying. He first asks Luo Ran to become like this, and then hopes that the current Pu Ying can also become like this.
In the plot line of the original book, Pu Ying has been brought into Wen Er's logic before she has any real emotions, or even noticed the conflict at all.
"The conscious body that has been lost in the electronic storm for too long has lost the instinct of being a 'human', and the initial guidance is very important."
Yu Tang said: "What others teach, they learn."
The system peeled off a lollipop, and couldn't help being curious: "Has the host encountered other lost consciousness?"
Yu Tang didn't answer. He looked at the little red card who was staring at him with no hands or feet. He found an orange-flavored lollipop, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it in.
The system hesitated for a while, and then changed the question: "Is the host giving Pu Ying the journal "World Geography" to guide him before Wen Er?"
Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."
After all, this time the main task, the first one is to make Pu Ying feel emotional.
Both the Pu family and Wen Er have tried this matter countless times.
They showed Pu Ying the video records of the past, took Pu Ying to the places he had been, and asked the old servant to tell the story of the young master.
Those pictures and videos spelled out a carefully cultivated heir to the family who was quiet and steady, behaved very well.
The system flashed a small red light: "That's true."
The genre classification of this book is a bit old. The system helped Yu Tang sort out the plot. I have seen Pu Ying’s genius character design when she was a child: "Pu Ying has been receiving tutoring from a tutor. She can play the piano at the age of three and play the piano at the age of four." Go, you can do calculus at the age of five..."
Yu Tang nodded: "Then why was he on the two-story tree behind the villa when he disappeared?"
The system froze for a long time, but failed to answer.
Yu Tang opened the mall interface and looked at Luo Ran's cards.
Luo Ran is a part of Pu Ying that was stripped out—this part was never created out of thin air.
The little Pu Ying who hadn't accidentally fallen into the electronic storm back then was definitely not just as the family elders remembered, young and mature, well-behaved and stable, never causing trouble or mischief.
Pu Ying fell into the electronic storm at the age of six years old. According to the records, Luo Ran, who was accidentally stripped out, stayed in the space distorted by the electronic storm for nearly 20 years.
It's not too long, not long enough to wipe out all obsessions.
If there is anything that can wake Pu Ying up, it must be Luo Ran - in the original novel, Pu Ying didn't even have time to meet Luo Ran, and didn't have time to know Luo Ran's existence.Before he knew it, Luo Ran had disappeared forever in that storm.
But this time, because of the easing relationship with his son, Father Luo finally mustered up the courage to send the photo to World Geography.
When this photo was taken, the naughty little red hair hadn't turned into a little red card.
Luo Ran spent a lot of effort, and finally waited for the most suitable weather, found a fixed point to set up a tripod, set it to automatic continuous shooting mode, and selected the most handsome and compelling one from more than [-] photos.
After the photos were developed, Luo Ran was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, he walked into the study calmly, pretending to accidentally drop the photos on Luo's father and Luo's mother's desks.
……
Yu Tang didn't believe that he missed Pu Ying.
"Start real-time monitoring of Wen Ni."
Yu Tang said: "The [-]-day vacation is over, and I will go back to detect the electronic storm tomorrow...Wen Er is under investigation. If he wants to complete the database, all his hopes are on Luo Ran, and he will definitely go to the scene in person."
The system is a little worried: "Will the host be in danger?"
Yu Tang moved his wrist twice in the sea of consciousness.
The system's concerns are not without reason.
Electronic storms won't harm him, but Wen Er doesn't necessarily.
Wen Er cannot allow anything around her to get out of control.
Over the past few days, everything has gone off the rails again and again, coupled with the vague abnormality shown by Pu Ying this time, it should have stimulated Wen Er to a certain critical point, and there is no guarantee that she will not do something unexpected move.
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Tang made up his mind: "Let's continue to use magic to defeat magic."
Yu Tang stretched out his hand to cover the little red card, so as not to let Luo Ran hear: "Have you sorted out the PUA quotations?"
System: "...Okay."
"Get me a suit of clothes."
Yu Tang said: "Strictly follow the style of the heir of the Pu family... according to the style that Wen You imagined that Pu Ying would wear."
System: "Okay."
The system asked: "Does the host want to fully impersonate Pu Ying?"
"Yes." Yu Tang said, "He wants to turn Luo Ran into Pu Ying, so I'll give him Pu Ying."
What Wen Er is chasing is an illusion that does not exist at all. He is crazy about this illusion, indulges himself, and does whatever he can. Everyone will be involved by him and smashed to pieces.
He asked Luo Ran to become what Pu Ying should be in his mind. Luo Ran was destroyed by him, and he woke up again.
Pu Ying will go to ask Luo Ran's parents to be their son instead of Luo Ran. This is not just a solution he deduced through logic.
Yu Tang looked at Pu Ying's solo plot line.
Wen Er doesn't love anyone, doesn't love anything he can get, he only falls in love with illusions.He got Pu Ying, so Pu Ying's phantom was no longer important—until Luo Ran died, this phantom completely became Luo Ran.
Everyone is ruined by him.
On the contrary, Wen Nu seemed to be standing on the commanding heights, affectionate, sacrificing, and desperate.
……
How can there be such a good thing.
Yu Tang turned off the light screen, let go of Xiao Hongka who was spinning around in a daze, peeled off a lychee-flavored lollipop, and put it in his mouth.
The efficiency of the mall has always been very high. Within a few minutes, the ordered products were gathered in the form of data, and all of them were piled up in the system warehouse of the sea of consciousness.
Yu Tang bit the lollipop and unpacked it one by one.
If Wen Er wants to get rid of the bamboo basket completely and pay the price for what he has done, he must rush ahead to do Pu Ying's enlightenment work.
Yu Tang has this confidence, he has prepared a complete and thorough plan.
The system was really curious, and pulled the little red card together to peek at the warehouse door: "Host, host, what did you buy?"
Yu Tang: "Abnormal Psychology."
system:"……"
"I didn't buy it." Yu Tang patted it, "Pu Ying is very against all psychology books, we have to use a roundabout way."
The system asked: "What's a roundabout way?"
Yu Tang: ""Teaching You to Learn Photography in 10 Days", "Photography from Beginner to Master", "Practical Skills of Photography", "Counseling Course for College Entrance Examination for Photography Majors"..."
Yu Tang flipped through the shopping cart: "A medium format high-end professional digital SLR camera."
System: "...the host."
Yu Tang knew that he didn't know what to do, so he reflected in advance: "The camera is expensive, you should choose a cheaper one."
"It's okay, we can cheat experience points again."
The system's small red light flashed quickly, trying to keep up with the host's train of thought: "But how do we give these things to Pu Ying?"
Yu Tang: "..."
system:"……"
"Wait a minute." Yu Tang said, "I'll create a temporary sack."
"I've seen the incident report for this time."
Pu Ying closed the journal and tidied up the desktop: "It can be judged that it was a premeditated data theft."
He knew Wen Er's reason for coming.
For the person in charge of the General Research Institute, the characterization of this incident is not only related to the attribution of responsibility, but also related to the follow-up treatment plan.

Pu Ying stopped talking: "Director Wen?"
Wen You came back to his senses and raised his eyes.
Pu Ying: "Is there any problem?"
Wen Nu unconsciously squeezed her palm.
He couldn't even concentrate his energy, as every time he was uncomfortable because of Pu Ying's businesslike indifference.
He didn't pay attention to what Pu Ying said at all, the photo was still swaying in front of his eyes.

Wen Er asked, "What about you? What did you do after returning from the banquet?"
Pu Ying did not speak.
"I know, you can't do anything."
Wen Er knew a long time ago: "For you, it's just meeting an inexplicable stranger."
"Not exactly." Pu Ying said.
Wen Er smiled.
He knew that he should control his emotions, but Luo Ran's abnormality and the successive derailments of things were constantly hurting his nerves. The photo of Luo Ran on Pu Ying's desk pushed him to the brink of losing control.
Wen You's tone was filled with uncontrollable sarcasm: "Not exactly?"
Just as Pu Ying was about to speak, she paused slightly when she met Wen You's gaze.
… After returning from the banquet, Pu Ying locked herself in the study and read the diary, photos and audio-visual materials belonging to that Pu Ying for a day and a night.
Pu Ying rummaged through every trace, trying to find her original self and give it back to these people.
He just couldn't make it.
Pu Ying originally wanted to explain this to Wen Er, but he suddenly didn't want to.
Pu Ying is very familiar with Wen Er's gaze.
"You also think that I am an incomplete defective product?" Pu Ying asked.
Wen You suffocated.
Wen Nu's complexion changed slightly. He always thought that he was hiding this thought very well. He never thought that Pu Ying could see it: "I—"
Pu Ying nodded: "I think so too."
"I owe you." Pu Ying said, "Before I came this time, my grandfather told me about the two of us. If there were no accidents at the beginning, according to the agreement between the two families, we should have legally formed a spouse relationship at the right age. .”
"...Pu Ying."
Wen Nu was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure: "You don't have to be like this."
Wen Er didn't want to talk about defective products anymore, he was eager to let this topic go, and he spoke a little faster than usual.
"What happened at the banquet was because I didn't control my emotions... I won't do it in the future."
Wen Er: "Don't worry, I won't force you, I know it's for you—"
Pu Ying: "This is an obligation I should fulfill."
Wen Er: "..."
"If you want, when this investigation is over, no matter what the result is, we can go to get the certificate."
Pu Ying: "I will learn the rules of the family and how to get along with my spouse."
"I will learn... how people feel."
Pu Ying asked: "Do you want to?"
Wen You's light gray pupils narrowed slightly.
Pu Ying looked at him quietly.
……
After a long time, Pu Ying nodded: "I see."
"Pu Ying." Wen Er came back to his senses and walked back quickly, "Listen to me."
It is not surprising that Pu Ying said these words, he can only think logically.For Pu Ying, becoming a spouse is just like being transferred to a department or accepting a job, it is nothing more than a thing to do.
But Pu Ying's expression suddenly made him feel uneasy like never before.
"I'm not unwilling, don't get me wrong."
"I just don't want to use our childhood relationship to kidnap you to make a choice before you recover."
Wen You stretched out her hand and held Pu Ying's arm, and was slightly shivered by the coldness of her palm.
"I want to cure you first." Wen Er said, "Believe me, I will soon find a solution, and I can cure you."
Wen Er spoke very fast, and his eyes showed a strange, almost paranoid excitement: "The research has already begun, just wait a little longer, and I will definitely make you return to what you were supposed to be. look..."
Pu Ying repeated in a low voice: "What I should have been."
Wen Nu squeezed his arm tightly, nodded: "Yes, you—"
Pu Ying: "Is it up to you to decide?"
Wen Nu was stunned.
He never thought that Pu Ying would ask this question, he looked at Pu Ying with some disbelief in his eyes: "...What did you say?"
Pu Ying lowered her eyes and looked at the photo on the table.
The real Pu Ying disappeared when she was six years old, and 20 years later, she was left to the Pu family and Wen Er as an incomplete and defective product.
What would it be like for the real Pu Ying to grow up without being caught in the electronic storm?
Pu Ying couldn't get an answer, and he didn't have the desire to get an answer. He just received a "World Geography" journal that was delivered to the wrong place when he arrived at the office this morning.
The courier knocked the periodical on the floor in a reckless way, and he picked it up just in time to see the open page.
……
Pu Ying looked away from the photo.
"Also." Pu Ying said.
Wen You's face was still a little pale, he didn't slow down, and asked in a low voice: "What?"
Pu Ying didn't speak again.
Wen Er was responsible for taking care of him when he was a child. He came out of the electronic storm, and it was Wen Er's research that allowed him to return to the family smoothly.
Wen Er wants to decide what he should become, that's fine.
Pu Ying got up, he took his arm out of Wen Er's hand, gestured politely to see off the guests, carefully put away the plastic-wrapped photo, and reopened the "World Geography" that he hadn't had time to finish reading. .
Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and he doesn't want to talk to Wen Er anymore.
In the sea of consciousness, Yu Tang turned off the light screen of the online live broadcast.
At the end of the monitoring screen, Wen Er did not leave the office immediately.
He had already sensed the uneasiness, and tried several times to re-communicate with Pu Ying and explain what he meant, but all failed.
For Pu Ying, the conversation is over when it is over.
"Host, just now Pu Ying clearly agreed to marry Wen Er, why didn't Wen Er agree?"
The system didn't quite understand: "Wen Er doesn't like Pu Ying?"
Yu Tang: "I like it."
The system flashed a small red light and floated beside him.
"Wen You's favorability for Pu Ying has remained above 95, and it has been more than three years."
Yu Tang called out the light screen: "Very high."
...It was even abnormally high.
Even ordinary lovers may affect their favorability due to quarrels, misunderstandings, and estrangement.
Sometimes, nothing even happens, just because of the ordinary time passing, the favorability will slowly decline unknowingly.
But Wen You's affection for Pu Ying has never been lower than 95.
Yu Tang still had some impressions, and opened the historical records: "During the banquet, during the 10 minutes when Wen Er clashed with Pu Ying, who had lost his memory, his favorability for Pu Ying soared to 100...should be the upper limit of the value that the system can detect Only 100."
After the banquet, Yu Tang was knocked to the ground by Wen You, who smelled of alcohol all over his body, and even his energy bar as a stand-in toolman fluctuated briefly because of Wen You's favorability overflowing greatly.
The system racked up all the data: "...The favorability detector is broken again?"
Yu Tang smiled, took out the snack gift pack he just bought from the mall, and distributed it to the system and the little red card.
Of course, the favorability detector can't be broken.
Wen Er is not satisfied with Luo Ran, nor is he satisfied with the current Pu Ying, but he does have a strong and almost paranoid affection for "Pu Ying".
"If I'm not wrong."
Yu Tang said: "Wen Er is obsessed to the point of morbidity, and the one whose favorability continues to be above 95 is the 'Pu Ying' he constructed himself."
The system was stunned: "He even thought of a partner for himself?!"
Yu Tang: "...Don't always talk like Luo Ran."
system:"……"
Yu Tang is actually just speculating.
He has been flipping through "Human Behavior" for the past two days. If he guessed correctly, Wen Er should have sketched out what "Pu Ying" should look like when he grows up through his memory in these years of obsession.
Wen Er is almost paranoid about this fictitious Pu Ying. He first asks Luo Ran to become like this, and then hopes that the current Pu Ying can also become like this.
In the plot line of the original book, Pu Ying has been brought into Wen Er's logic before she has any real emotions, or even noticed the conflict at all.
"The conscious body that has been lost in the electronic storm for too long has lost the instinct of being a 'human', and the initial guidance is very important."
Yu Tang said: "What others teach, they learn."
The system peeled off a lollipop, and couldn't help being curious: "Has the host encountered other lost consciousness?"
Yu Tang didn't answer. He looked at the little red card who was staring at him with no hands or feet. He found an orange-flavored lollipop, peeled off the wrapper, and stuffed it in.
The system hesitated for a while, and then changed the question: "Is the host giving Pu Ying the journal "World Geography" to guide him before Wen Er?"
Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."
After all, this time the main task, the first one is to make Pu Ying feel emotional.
Both the Pu family and Wen Er have tried this matter countless times.
They showed Pu Ying the video records of the past, took Pu Ying to the places he had been, and asked the old servant to tell the story of the young master.
Those pictures and videos spelled out a carefully cultivated heir to the family who was quiet and steady, behaved very well.
The system flashed a small red light: "That's true."
The genre classification of this book is a bit old. The system helped Yu Tang sort out the plot. I have seen Pu Ying’s genius character design when she was a child: "Pu Ying has been receiving tutoring from a tutor. She can play the piano at the age of three and play the piano at the age of four." Go, you can do calculus at the age of five..."
Yu Tang nodded: "Then why was he on the two-story tree behind the villa when he disappeared?"
The system froze for a long time, but failed to answer.
Yu Tang opened the mall interface and looked at Luo Ran's cards.
Luo Ran is a part of Pu Ying that was stripped out—this part was never created out of thin air.
The little Pu Ying who hadn't accidentally fallen into the electronic storm back then was definitely not just as the family elders remembered, young and mature, well-behaved and stable, never causing trouble or mischief.
Pu Ying fell into the electronic storm at the age of six years old. According to the records, Luo Ran, who was accidentally stripped out, stayed in the space distorted by the electronic storm for nearly 20 years.
It's not too long, not long enough to wipe out all obsessions.
If there is anything that can wake Pu Ying up, it must be Luo Ran - in the original novel, Pu Ying didn't even have time to meet Luo Ran, and didn't have time to know Luo Ran's existence.Before he knew it, Luo Ran had disappeared forever in that storm.
But this time, because of the easing relationship with his son, Father Luo finally mustered up the courage to send the photo to World Geography.
When this photo was taken, the naughty little red hair hadn't turned into a little red card.
Luo Ran spent a lot of effort, and finally waited for the most suitable weather, found a fixed point to set up a tripod, set it to automatic continuous shooting mode, and selected the most handsome and compelling one from more than [-] photos.
After the photos were developed, Luo Ran was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, he walked into the study calmly, pretending to accidentally drop the photos on Luo's father and Luo's mother's desks.
……
Yu Tang didn't believe that he missed Pu Ying.
"Start real-time monitoring of Wen Ni."
Yu Tang said: "The [-]-day vacation is over, and I will go back to detect the electronic storm tomorrow...Wen Er is under investigation. If he wants to complete the database, all his hopes are on Luo Ran, and he will definitely go to the scene in person."
The system is a little worried: "Will the host be in danger?"
Yu Tang moved his wrist twice in the sea of consciousness.
The system's concerns are not without reason.
Electronic storms won't harm him, but Wen Er doesn't necessarily.
Wen Er cannot allow anything around her to get out of control.
Over the past few days, everything has gone off the rails again and again, coupled with the vague abnormality shown by Pu Ying this time, it should have stimulated Wen Er to a certain critical point, and there is no guarantee that she will not do something unexpected move.
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Tang made up his mind: "Let's continue to use magic to defeat magic."
Yu Tang stretched out his hand to cover the little red card, so as not to let Luo Ran hear: "Have you sorted out the PUA quotations?"
System: "...Okay."
"Get me a suit of clothes."
Yu Tang said: "Strictly follow the style of the heir of the Pu family... according to the style that Wen You imagined that Pu Ying would wear."
System: "Okay."
The system asked: "Does the host want to fully impersonate Pu Ying?"
"Yes." Yu Tang said, "He wants to turn Luo Ran into Pu Ying, so I'll give him Pu Ying."
What Wen Er is chasing is an illusion that does not exist at all. He is crazy about this illusion, indulges himself, and does whatever he can. Everyone will be involved by him and smashed to pieces.
He asked Luo Ran to become what Pu Ying should be in his mind. Luo Ran was destroyed by him, and he woke up again.
Pu Ying will go to ask Luo Ran's parents to be their son instead of Luo Ran. This is not just a solution he deduced through logic.
Yu Tang looked at Pu Ying's solo plot line.
Wen Er doesn't love anyone, doesn't love anything he can get, he only falls in love with illusions.He got Pu Ying, so Pu Ying's phantom was no longer important—until Luo Ran died, this phantom completely became Luo Ran.
Everyone is ruined by him.
On the contrary, Wen Nu seemed to be standing on the commanding heights, affectionate, sacrificing, and desperate.
……
How can there be such a good thing.
Yu Tang turned off the light screen, let go of Xiao Hongka who was spinning around in a daze, peeled off a lychee-flavored lollipop, and put it in his mouth.
The efficiency of the mall has always been very high. Within a few minutes, the ordered products were gathered in the form of data, and all of them were piled up in the system warehouse of the sea of consciousness.
Yu Tang bit the lollipop and unpacked it one by one.
If Wen Er wants to get rid of the bamboo basket completely and pay the price for what he has done, he must rush ahead to do Pu Ying's enlightenment work.
Yu Tang has this confidence, he has prepared a complete and thorough plan.
The system was really curious, and pulled the little red card together to peek at the warehouse door: "Host, host, what did you buy?"
Yu Tang: "Abnormal Psychology."
system:"……"
"I didn't buy it." Yu Tang patted it, "Pu Ying is very against all psychology books, we have to use a roundabout way."
The system asked: "What's a roundabout way?"
Yu Tang: ""Teaching You to Learn Photography in 10 Days", "Photography from Beginner to Master", "Practical Skills of Photography", "Counseling Course for College Entrance Examination for Photography Majors"..."
Yu Tang flipped through the shopping cart: "A medium format high-end professional digital SLR camera."
System: "...the host."
Yu Tang knew that he didn't know what to do, so he reflected in advance: "The camera is expensive, you should choose a cheaper one."
"It's okay, we can cheat experience points again."
The system's small red light flashed quickly, trying to keep up with the host's train of thought: "But how do we give these things to Pu Ying?"
Yu Tang: "..."
system:"……"
"Wait a minute." Yu Tang said, "I'll create a temporary sack."
