The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Stars, of course, is a romantic term.

To be precise, what Tang Anjing gave to Dai Bowen was fragments of meteorites.

"Uh, this is still a bit expensive." Dai Bowen actually didn't know what the price of the meteorite was, but he was afraid that this meteorite had special meaning to Tang Anjing, so his first reaction was to refuse.

"What's so valuable? In this age, it's not just that you can only get meteorite fragments from one planet. You can get so many planets and so many meteorites." Tang Anjing seemed to see Dai Bowen's hesitation, and said, "I have a lot of this kind of meteorite. I research it at work, and I also collect it privately. This one is not expensive, and it's just good as a souvenir. Or, do you think this is just an ordinary stone and it's not good-looking, so you don't want it?"

"We don't know much about the value of this meteorite, and we are afraid that our eyes will not recognize Mount Tai, so we dare not accept Professor Tang's gift." Shen Xiuyuan finally stood up and approached the two of them, "If Professor Tang really wants to return the gift, he can change it to something simple and easy." Gifts that you understand are fine, but let’s forget about meteorites.”

"It's really not expensive..." Tang Anjing was very helpless, "Is it because I chose this box that it seems too expensive? My family has hundreds of such meteorite fragments at least, and I have given them to other friends. Don't look at them." Too precious."

Dai Bowen said: "But you have hundreds of meteorites, but you travel alone with this one..."

"This is what I booked online before, and the cruise ship just passed the delivery planet, so I simply went to the astronomical exhibition hall to visit and pick up the goods by the way." Tang Anjing said, "From this perspective, these are indeed the first two planets native products."

Dai Bowen's eyes fixed on his face.

After Tang Anjing finished speaking, he found that no one was talking to him, and looked at Dai Bowen who was staring at him: "What?"

"...It's nothing." Dai Bowen replied, "How about it, next time we have a meal together, your payment is equivalent to a gift in return."

Tang Anjing sighed: "Is there any need to guard me so much?"

"It's okay to make friends, but expensive gifts are fine. And it's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. Professor Tang lives in first class, and he doesn't need money to listen to this concert. I just think meteorites are very important to you, and this meteorite is still yours." It has already been scheduled, so we won't take love away." Dai Bowen smiled, held Tang Anjing's hand, and closed the box with his hand, "Then, let's go first, otherwise Professor Tang wants to play the piano I'm sorry. Waiting for your treat."

This passage blocked all of Tang Anjing's persuasion. Tang Anjing couldn't find anything else to say, and sighed: "Well, it's fine if you don't want it. But I don't want to play the piano either. Playing here is really a shame, so I'll go too. gone."

"Then let's go together." Dai Bowen turned to look at Shen Xiuyuan, "You have been sending messages just now, have you finished?"

"I'm discussing something, but I haven't finished the discussion. But it's okay, you can continue later." Shen Xiuyuan said, "Want to have a late-night snack? Professor Tang is also with you?"

"...I'll forget it, I don't have the habit of eating late at night." Tang Anjing smiled, "I'm going back to my room directly, good night."

"Good night."

The three separated at the entrance of the concert hall.

***

Dai Bowen and Shen Xiuyuan slipped to the barbecue restaurant on the cruise ship, ordered a few skewers, and really started eating supper.

Shen Xiuyuan poured Dai Bowen a drink, and asked, "What did Tang Anjing want to do just now? What does it mean to send you a meteorite? Also, what kind of return gift?"

"I didn't understand either. It's probably a return gift from the previous chip." Dai Bowen replied, "That night at the bar, after I got the chip back, I threw it into his pocket. I wanted to make a joke. , Wait until he finds out about the prankster. But he hasn’t mentioned it until now, I don’t know if he didn’t find out at all, or if he found out and thought it was a gift from me.”

That thing is not very cheap, but it is nothing to Shen Xiuyuan, so the man just said: "I feel that he misunderstood something. In other words, it doesn't matter whether he misunderstood or not, he should be special to you view."

Dai Bowen gnawed a string silently: "..."

"What do you mean by not talking?" Shen Xiuyuan looked at his lover opposite, raised his eyebrows, "I guessed right, didn't I?"

"...Well, let me tell the truth." Dai Bowen said, "I didn't think it was serious before. After all, I saw his suicidal tendencies. He relies on me like a psychiatrist. It's normal."

Shen Xiuyuan: "But?"

"However, when he sent me the meteorite today, it was indeed a bit different." Dai Bowen said, "Generally speaking, he sent me in front of you. It should not be too much. But he sent me the meteorite specially. The star is still a special star, and it should be a metaphor. He probably didn’t want me to find out what the meteorite represented, so he kept saying that it was ordinary and nothing special.”

Shen Xiuyuan said: "Did he lie?...Ah, you have been staring at him for a few seconds, did you find that he was lying?"

"Yes, it was then." Dai Bowen said, "It should be true that there are hundreds of meteorites in the collection, and the price of the meteorite he gave is not too expensive. It should be true. But he said that it was in the first two The planet only picked up the goods, this is a lie."

"So, it's really the meteorite he brought with him?" Shen Xiuyuan frowned, "...Yes, it's unlikely that it was an appointment. He had suicidal tendencies when he first got on the ship, so it's unlikely that he ordered the meteorite in advance and was still on the journey Go get it. So he did bring the meteorite aboard."

"That's why I dare not take it." Dai Bowen said, "Ordinary meteorites are fine, but items with special meaning are too hot to touch."

Shen Xiuyuan glanced at him, and rubbed the mechanical foot against the subject's calf under the table: "Shouldn't you say that if you take it, you will be sorry for me?"

"Mr. Shen, I told him to invite the two of us to dinner. Don't you think about you enough?" Dai Bowen said, "If I want to avoid you, I can always find a chance to talk to him alone, or even accept it face to face." Gift. Do you think that whenever I come into contact with him now, which time have I avoided you?"

Shen Xiuyuan propped his chin and said: "You can't blame me for not feeling safe. After all, you are a great magician who understands people's hearts well. I can't fight, so I can only keep trying to prevent you from escaping."

"Make it up, keep making it up, are you such a low-confidence person?" Dai Bowen kicked his foot away, "Before you were here to seduce you again, and it was your fiancée, did I say anything?"

"That's right. But you are somewhat jealous, right? I feel it, although it's not very obvious." Shen Xiuyuan smiled, "Actually, I'm quite happy if you want to be more obviously jealous, it shows that you care about me."

"It's not that I'm not jealous, but I feel that none of them are my opponents." Dai Bowen glanced at him, "Two young girls with poor brains and looks, what's the threat?"

Shen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's because I'm not attractive enough."

"It's you, 'Shen Xiuyuan', who used to have a weird temper, otherwise my rivals would have followed suit." Dai Bowen snorted softly, "In short, we have always been two of us swaying in front of him. Judging from his current actions, he should He won’t do anything like poaching, and giving me something should be a psychological commemoration. He doesn’t want us to know, so we just pretend we don’t know, and just keep in touch as ordinary friends.”

Shen Xiuyuan said: "Are you sure he doesn't know that you can guess? You can tell at a glance that he is going to commit suicide. He is so smart, how can he not react that you can see his lies?"

"He knows, so he knows." Dai Bowen said, "It's also a way to avoid embarrassment for both parties to pretend to be stupid."

"Okay, you guys have a tacit understanding..."

"Boss, if you make a fuss about this matter, you really don't suffer at all." Dai Bowen glanced at him, and put the remaining two skewers in front of him, "Hurry up, I'm going to get off the boat to watch the game tomorrow." of."

Shen Xiuyuan let out an "oh", and honestly ate the last two skewers.

Thinking about it, he still thinks this "old couple" model is quite interesting, so he smiled to himself, facing Dai Bowen's puzzled eyes, and didn't explain why he smiled.

Dai Bowen didn't pursue the question, but just continued the previous topic: "By the way, can I shoot a video near the gymnasium tomorrow?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, it's ok." Shen Xiuyuan said, "But when you start near the entrance of the gymnasium, you can't fly and shoot bees. Also, remember to set up the coding program."

"I know, the current setting is that except for the two of us, everyone else will be coded by default. If the participants agree to show their faces, the mosaic will be removed." Dai Bowen replied, "The current high technology is really convenient, automatic coding. Where? Like before, you have to ask one by one, and if you don’t ask, you’ll code them first anyway.”

Shen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you another surprise. The tournament said that you can do random performances inside, such as intermission, before and after the game, as long as it doesn't affect the game or disturb the order."

Dai Bowen froze for a moment: "Really?"

"Really, what did you lie to you for?"

"...Shen Xiuyuan, I now suspect that your family has invested in this competition." Dai Bowen said, "Are you really not the sponsor of the competition?"

"No." Shen Xiuyuan said, "But you can apply to do these things after paying a fee. And your previous video was officially sent by the Time Fairy, and the game will be more recognized, so I agree with you to do a little interaction."

Dai Bowen said: "Don't tell me, maybe the game will be broadcast live for me then?"

"It's hard to say, they have all kinds of interactions on the field. If the director catches you at that time, then it will be for nothing." Shen Xiuyuan said, "We will talk about it at that time, and now it is unknown."

Dai Bowen stared at him for a while: "...Don't you make some small moves behind your back?"

Shen Xiuyuan gnawed the last piece of meat, threw away the stick and wiped his hands: "What little trick?"

Dai Bowen looked at him fixedly.

Shen Xiuyuan let him watch.

"... Forget it, let you go."
