The Universe's First Hide and Seek

After shopping for a while and resting for a while, three or four hours of viewing the exhibition have passed.

In the end, Sheng Yongjia bought a pot of epiphyllum, but Dai Bowen didn't buy anything.

After parting at the entrance of the exhibition, Dai Bowen had just boarded Shen Xiuyuan's low-key and luxurious spaceship, and Shen Xiuyuan asked, "Don't buy anything today? Are you sure?"

"Huh?" Dai Bowen was stunned for a moment, "I'm sure I won't buy it."

"Didn't your friend buy a pot of green leafy plants?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "I see that you have been lingering in front of some of these plants for a long time, so just buy them if you like them. You don't have to think too much about them. It's okay to grow them in a greenhouse."

Dai Bowen found it a little funny: "It's not this question..."

"What's the problem?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "Very expensive?"

"...It's not bad." Dai Bowen said, "But it is indeed a little more expensive than the epiphyllum bought by Yongjia. After all, the epiphyllum is ugly when it is not blooming, and it only blooms for one night a year. You can see it once a year if you take care of it." At night, if it doesn’t become popular, it won’t be expensive.”

"...Is that epiphyllum?" Of course Shen Xiuyuan knew about epiphyllum, and he also probably knew the appearance of flowers.But when there are only green leaves... I really don't understand it.

And Shen Xiuyuan has always had a question: "The epiphyllum seems to be a very old variety, right? Doesn't anyone want to improve its flowering mechanism?"

"Isn't the charm of epiphyllum just that it only lasts for one night?" Dai Bowen shrugged, "People who like it should like this attribute."

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "Okay. What do you like, just like everything about him?"

Dai Bowen: "...what?"

"It's nothing." Shen Xiuyuan said, "If you're sure you don't want to buy it, then we'll leave. If you want to buy it and think it's expensive, just pay me the bill."

"No." Dai Bowen replied very simply.He originally came here to maintain the character design, not to buy anything, so he didn't really have the idea of ​​renovating the greenhouse: "I have already made an appointment with Yongjia, and when the epiphyllum blooms, I can go to his house to see it, that's enough. "

"Epiphyllum blooms late at night." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Are you going to spend the night at his house?"

"Maybe. Actually, I used to live there too." Dai Bowen smiled, "Admiring the flowers in the middle of the night and drinking some wine, isn't it romantic?"

"..." Shen Xiuyuan was silent for two seconds, then changed the topic, "Let's go."

As soon as he spoke, the spacecraft started and slowly lifted off.

Within a few minutes, Dai Bowen looked at the location of the communicator, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Mr. Shen, where are we... going? Aren't we going home?"

"En." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Go to eat first, and then go to a place."

Dai Bowen was at a loss: "...where are you going?"

Shen Xiuyuan gave Assistant Liang a wink.

Assistant Liang nodded, then opened the hidden cabinet next to him, found out a set of clothes, and handed them to Dai Bowen.

Dai Bowen was even more at a loss: "...what are you doing?"

"Replace it." Shen Xiuyuan said, and the partition in the middle of the spaceship slowly rose up, separating the two people's sight, and Assistant Liang didn't know where to go.

Dai Bowen:? ? ?

He froze for a moment, then subconsciously shook off his clothes and looked.This is a casual suit with a shirt inside, so it can be said that it has everything from the inside to the outside.After looking through the size, it turned out to be Dai Bowen's size.

Dai Bowen was completely speechless.

——Do you need to change clothes after eating?

——How high-end restaurant are you going to?

——In this case, at least take a girl with you?What does it mean to bring a gardener along?

Thoughts were flying in his head, but "the situation forced him", Dai Bowen changed into his clothes anyway.The trousers just reach the ankles. After putting on the shoes, they can cover the back of the shoes a little, and the ankles can be exposed when sitting down. It looks very good visually.

——Speaking of which, did you choose clothes of this size for me, or Assistant Liang's clothes...?

Thinking about it, Dai Bowen tidied up his clothes and said, "I've changed it."

"Wait a minute."

Shen Xiuyuan replied a few words, and after a few minutes, the partition finally slowly lowered.

Dai Bowen raised his eyes: "...Huh?!"

What I saw sitting in front of me were two completely unfamiliar men.They were sitting side by side, not wearing the same clothes that Shen Xiuyuan and Assistant Liang were wearing today, and they looked at Dai Bowen expressionlessly.The point is, both people's legs look normal...no wheelchairs!

Dai Bowen looked at this and then at that, the two men remained silent for a few seconds.

Dai Bowen quickly understood that this was a game of "guess who I am".

He had heard that there was a kind of artificial skin with limited circulation, which could easily change the appearance of a person, and it was not unusual to see it at a close distance.Although it is said to be a "restricted product", the Shen family has a deep family background and a network of connections, so it is not surprising that they can get something.

These two men must be Shen Xiuyuan and Assistant Liang after changing their clothes.

——Even the prosthetics are installed, so Shen Xiuyuan's current image of "insisting on using a wheelchair" is just to paralyze people?

——But... are you going to a place where you can't even show your original face?

——If this is the case, will you take me there, is it because he is my partner, and he also guessed who I am...?

The thoughts in Dai Bowen's mind quickly turned around, and then he could only temporarily forget them.Because, he had to guess who Shen Xiuyuan was first.

The real difficulty of this game for Dai Bowen is not to distinguish which one is Young Master Shen, but how to distinguish...pretend that he is not very good at this kind of thing.

If Shen Xiuyuan was his partner, and if the two guessed each other at about the same pace, Dai Bowen didn't plan to give any more hints.

So Dai Bowen hesitated and said with a blank expression, "Mr. Shen...?"

The two men did not answer.

Dai Bowen had no choice but to say: "I'm a little confused, don't blame me if I guess wrong..." As he spoke, he pointed to the man on the right, "Mr. Shen is wider than Assistant Liang, so... Are you supposed to be Mr. Shen?"

The man with an unfamiliar face said in Shen Xiuyuan's voice: "Congratulations, I guessed it right."

"Your figures don't look the same." Dai Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, "Assistant Liang should be about the same as me? This suit belongs to Assistant Liang, too?"

"New, the housekeeper has your standard size." Shen Xiuyuan replied, "I forgot to give you shoes and socks."

After finishing speaking, Assistant Liang gave Dai Bowen the shoes and socks for him.Dai Bowen glanced at Shen Xiuyuan. The man who had replaced the mechanical prosthesis was leaning against the back of the chair, with his chin resting in a natural posture, obviously not going to avoid it.Dai Bowen had no choice but to turn around with the chair and change shoes and socks.

After changing, Shen Xiuyuan handed him another half-face mask: "Put it on."

Dai Bowen put it on honestly, and turned his head to look for a place that could reflect the light, and it looked a little nice—it was almost the same as when he was performing mysterious magic costumes before.

After these preparations were completed, the spaceship landed slowly.

"From now on, my name is 'Stewart', and Assistant Liang is 'Russell'." Shen Xiuyuan stood up, the mechanical prosthesis looked very natural, except for a pair of long legs hidden under the suit pants, "So, what do you want to be called?"

"... David?"

"Okay, David." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Now, you are my assistant, pay attention to your wording."

Dai Bowen said in his heart that I didn't want to be involved in such an occasion where he couldn't show his face, but he had to do so, so he could only reply: "Okay, Mr. Stewart."

Shen Xiuyuan smiled, the door of the spaceship opened, and he got off the spaceship first.

***

This is a buffet set up in a high-level hotel, or in other words, a reception.

At first glance, it looks quite ordinary, everyone holds food or wine glasses, walks around, eats or chats.The clothes she wears are more formal than exaggerated.Occasionally, there are a few people who wear masks like Dai Bowen, and others will not find it strange.

Dai Bowen's eyes swept over everyone's faces, although most of them were exposed...how many of them showed their true colors?

Dai Bowen felt that this reception was not simple, and he kept waiting for a different plot to emerge, but it turned out that eating is eating.

Shen Xiuyuan won't even greet others.

Instead, he chatted with Dai Bowen at the dinner table.

"So, you and Sheng Yongjia lived together after graduation, until you came to work in the Shen family?" Shen Xiuyuan asked, "He still lives in that place?"

"That's right." Dai Bowen replied, "That's why he said what plants to put in the house, so I can refer to them accurately. But he hasn't found a new roommate, and that room has been empty since I moved out. It would be a shame to pay more rent.”

"The salary of public officials should not be too bad." Shen Xiuyuan said, "However, it may still be a little less than your salary?"

Dai Bowen said happily: "I said mine is relatively small, S... Will Mr. Stewart give me a raise?"

"……Can."

"Really?" Dai Bowen laughed, "I should record this sentence."

"You don't need to be recorded, I will give you a raise." Shen Xiuyuan ate his food slowly, "However, is it true that he can't find a roommate, or has he kept it on purpose? Will you go back to live?"

Dai Bowen replied: "No more."

Shen Xiuyuan asked again: "Do you want to stay and use it after marriage?"

"Then I don't know, but he probably hasn't dated yet." Dai Bowen thought for a while, "I haven't told him yet."

"Didn't I hide it from you?"

"Isn't it? We made an appointment to report to each other." Dai Bowen said, "Anyway, it feels like his status hasn't changed. He shouldn't have a girlfriend yet?"

"Where's your boyfriend?"

"Then I don't know... So I don't even know his sexual orientation."

"You don't even know this?" Shen Xiuyuan asked, "Aren't you two best friends?"

"I haven't looked into it, and I haven't seen him date anyone before..." Dai Bowen smiled, "After I went to work in Shen's house, I communicated less. So if I have to talk about it, I can't be 100% sure. his condition."

In fact, Dai Bowen paid close attention to Sheng Yongjia.

After all, this young man is also likely to be his target.However, after careful investigation for a while, Dai Bowen reduced his suspicion to a very low level based on his behavior pattern.

Today's appointment to meet is just a routine to support people.

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked about your status yet."

"what?"

"Do you have a date?"
