The Universe's First Hide and Seek

When the drink was served, it was found to be a fruit drink with 5% alcohol, and the meaning of soothing the nerves was really obvious.

Dai Bowen took a sip, it was slightly sweet and delicious.So after taking another sip, he put down the glass, crossed his legs and propped his chin: "Okay, let's talk."

"I don't know how to start..." Shen Xiuyuan sighed, then suddenly raised his hand and switched on his own communicator, "Speaking of which, do you think that the pair of He Lang and Song Lin...is a bit strange?"

"……Um?"

Dai Bowen looked up at the news projected by Shen Xiuyuan, and the image of He Lang and Song Lin boarding the spacecraft was clearly displayed.He looked at the two people and glanced at Shen Xiuyuan: "What do you want to say?"

"An explorer, a teacher in an orphanage, was out of reach at first...Even if there was fate with an egg, it wouldn't be so much love at first sight, would it? Not far away, driving a shuttle that can jump through wormholes Picking up someone from the orphanage?" Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "Thinking about the popularity of these two people in the interstellar world... I guess, they are probably our teammates?"

Dai Bowen didn't participate in the speculation, but asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Look, these two people are still active in this world. I asked my teammates before, if they guessed the partner in this world, would they immediately judge each other?" Shen Xiuyuan smiled, turned off the news projection, "They said, it depends on the object's thoughts. If the object is chasing very closely, you have to play seriously. If the object wants to play for a few more years, then stay, no judgment."

"Stay here to play?" Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a choice?"

"Yes." Shen Xiuyuan also leaned on the back of the sofa, "There is another one who said that they worked too hard in the previous world and wanted to give their partner and themselves time to breathe, so they prefer to stay for a few years, which is equivalent to taking a rest." .”

"This idea is not bad." Dai Bowen said, "What will happen if you stay?"

"The normal end of life." Shen Xiuyuan guessed that he would ask, and smiled, "So I thought, you might want to stay and play for a while."

"Huh? Why?"

"Don't you like high-tech things?" Shen Xiuyuan said, "In the interstellar era, you should want to experience more."

Dai Bowen said: "Are you making decisions for me without authorization?"

"No. I'm just telling you what I think." Shen Xiuyuan said, "I'm right in front of you. If you don't want to stay, just let me go."

"..." Dai Bowen looked at him silently.

Shen Xiuyuan spread his hands: "Anyway, I lose every time. It's not bad this time. You make the decision."

Dai Bowen thought for a while, and opened another topic: "Tell me why you know it's me."

Shen Xiuyuan heard this question, pondered for two seconds, and replied: "If I tell you, you may not believe it."

"Ok?"

"intuition."

"..."

"Look, I said that you probably don't believe it." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Don't you think that all the seemingly random behaviors of human beings have a reason?"

"I really think so. The so-called intuition can also be an 'inevitable behavior' based on various hints and subconscious operations." Dai Bowen said, "However, you can describe the process of generating this intuition in detail."

Shen Xiuyuan didn't refuse, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "I don't know how long you have been in this world, but I have been here for almost half a year. Before returning to Shen's house, I was active here, just to Eliminate the suspicion of people here..."

This exclusion is three months.

Then Shen Xiuyuan decided to "expand the map", so he returned to Shen's house.

The first step into Shen's house, he suddenly had a strong premonition - his partner is in Shen's house!

At that time, except for Shen Minglan, almost everyone in the mansion came to greet him. If his partner was in the Shen family, there was a high probability that he was among the people who greeted him.But there were only a few people who spoke at that time, and only Su Jingjing was the one who stood out.Shen Xiuyuan felt that Su Jingjing was not like his "understanding" person, so he didn't pay attention to her at all, and even borrowed the temper of the original owner to directly separate Su Jingjing.

Then, Shen Xiuyuan carefully observed everyone in Shen's family.

Almost everyone, he has spoken intentionally or unintentionally, and has observed closely.The ones I met on the road made a casual remark for reasons, called out the people in the kitchen to make one or two comments during the meal, and in the end, only the greenhouse gardener that I never met was left.

Shen Xiuyuan has always felt that the greenhouse is a bit magical, and other people seldom go to it, and it is not full of surveillance like other places in the mansion.Thinking about it carefully, it looks like a small isolated island in Shen's house.And basically only one person will appear there, and in a sense, this person seems to be isolated from the world.

So, Shen Xiuyuan asked him to come and see him.

Seeing this, how should I put it... I feel that when I talk to this gardener, there is always a strange feeling.

From a rational analysis, this gardener looked too calm when facing the "legendary eccentric" young master of the Shen family.Although he backed down a bit from what he said, his sincerity and fear could not be seen at all on his expression.Inexplicably, it always reminded Shen Xiuyuan of his partner.

After finishing the conversation, Shen Xiuyuan asked the butler and head maid, Windsor, about their impressions of the gardener Dai Bowen.

Unexpected and reasonable, the two people's impressions of Dai Bowen were surprisingly consistent.

——It seems that he has no sense of existence, but he is a good person when he thinks about it.Sometimes when passing by a greenhouse, or when I want to see flowers and relax, I would chat with Dai Bowen casually.They obviously didn't talk much, but after coming out, they felt a little more relaxed, as if they were really healed by the flowers.

Thinking about it now, Dai Bowen's chatting skills should be at work.

Shen Xiuyuan asked a few more people, and found that everyone still had the same impression of the gardener.We all know this person, and we all think he is good, but when asked what happened specifically, no one can remember.

Shen Xiuyuan felt more and more: ... more and more like my partner.As long as you want to hide it, everyone will have no impression of him.

Shen Xiuyuan dared to bet that if he hadn't taken the initiative to ask, no one in this mansion would have taken the initiative to mention Dai Bowen, the gardener.

So on another sleepless night, Shen Xiuyuan decided to find the gardener.

In fact, he had known for a long time that only the housekeeper and the gardener had authority over the greenhouse, so he called each other up at night.

This time, Dai Bowen didn't even bother to pretend to be friendly, and the anger of getting up could be seen with naked eyes.When Shen Xiuyuan teased him to speak, he replied weakly, it can be said that he was not afraid of his boss getting angry.

After doing this, Shen Xiuyuan felt that the gardener was more and more suspicious.

He wanted to examine this person more, but the chances of meeting this person were too few.I can only rely on going to the greenhouse from time to time to see if I can meet them, and from other people's mouths, to understand the gardener's movements.

Sometimes, Shen Xiuyuan even couldn't help thinking, if that's my partner...would he be suspicious of me too?

But the number of times Dai Bowen appeared in front of Shen Xiuyuan was very few, and he never took the initiative.Seeing that the other party was so inactive, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't tell whether it was the sense of security that "the other party might not be the target" or the sense of grievance that "my target is not in a hurry to find me", so he decided to temporarily put the other party on hold for a while.

At this moment, news came that Shen Minglan reprimanded Dai Bowen in the middle of the night.

On the way there, Shen Xiuyuan understood the cause and effect of the incident, and realized that Dai Bowen was only implicated in vain.To be precise, it was Shen Minglan who deliberately picked things up in order to disgust Shen Xiuyuan.At this moment, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't remember that he was going to snub the other party temporarily, and immediately came out with "Heroes to save the beauty".

He also took advantage of the situation and forced a gardener to stand aside, promising not to betray himself.

Day by day, although Shen Xiuyuan did not find any evidence that Dai Bowen was his object, but he did not meet anyone who was more like his object than this gardener.Shen Xiuyuan pondered for a while, and guessed that if Dai Bowen was his object, and he still stood still like this, did it mean that he actually wanted to stay in this world to play for a while?

That being the case, let him relax for a while.

But it's not the same thing, the object is right in front of him, Shen Xiuyuan can't help but want to get closer.

Whether it's the topic of roses and greenhouses, or purely "unreasonable troublemaking" outbursts, Shen Xiuyuan can find a sentence or two to talk to the gardener.For example, he was in front of the window, watching two women quarreling in the yard, and seeing Dai Bowen squatting on the roof of the greenhouse who was "watching gossip"... so he decided to "make use of the problem".

Then the gardener said that he was going to visit the flower exhibition in the afternoon, and Shen Xiuyuan thought about his business since it was evening anyway, so he should go together.

After going there, they met a person who seemed to be able to talk to Dai Bowen better.

——Dai Bowen's childhood friend, who also majored in gardening and lived with Dai Bowen for several years.

It sounded like this guy still kept Dai Bowen's room, waiting for him to go back to live.

After wandering around for an afternoon, Dai Bowen only occasionally came back to talk to Shen Xiuyuan and asked him if he needed anything, and the rest of the time he was chatting with himself.Anyone with long eyes can see that Dai Bowen's attention to Shen Xiuyuan is just for his superiors, and he really relaxes and chats in front of his own hair.Although it can't be said how warm it is, Shen Xiuyuan always feels... smells something different.

Young Master Shen is very sensitive to his "rival in love".

Although I said that if it was my object, I wouldn't have such thoughts about people in this world, but that childhood is not necessarily absent.If you don't recognize each other all the time, this childhood friend will always harass you, and even say something that makes you unhappy...

Under the impact of this kind of thinking, coupled with tonight's meeting, it is indeed safer to have someone who "specializes in surgery"——Shen Xiuyuan made a temporary decision to bring Dai Bowen along.

Let's have a showdown by the way, let's see how the target decides.

So when visiting the flower exhibition, Shen Xiuyuan ordered to prepare Dai Bowen's things, and regardless of Assistant Liang's objection, he directly showed his secret side in front of Dai Bowen.

Fortunately, he guessed his target correctly, and also bet that his target would suspend the judgment procedure under persuasion.

Fortunately, his subject has calmly listened to his explanations.

"So, you want me to make a decision now?" After listening to Dai Bowen, he said that this guy has a lot of thoughts, "If I don't want to play anymore, just leave?"

"Yes." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "If you want to stay, I have the ability to let you live a good life."

"I can live a leisurely life without you." Dai Bowen propped his chin, "When will you be able to fix this mess?"

Shen Xiuyuan smiled: "That depends on how far you are willing to help me."

"You want me to work again?" Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, "Do you know how relaxed I am recently? How easy it is to grow flowers for a day?"

Shen Xiuyuan entered a number on his communicator, and it was projected: "Is this the price for one season of your program, great magician?"

Dai Bowen glanced at the number and laughed lowly.

"Deal, Mr. Shen."

[The author has something to say]: Dai Bowen: There is indeed too much given.
