The paper man raised by Xianyu is an interstellar boss

Chapter 242 A Request

"Want to know?" Gu Henzhi's voice raised slightly.

"En." Shen Mian nodded, then remembered that he couldn't see her movements, so she responded again.

In the past, she was definitely not someone who would ask such questions casually.

One is that there has never been anything related to love and love in her life. On the other hand... she is not shy. She can tell the other party that she likes him without blushing or panting, but when she asks the other party It's not that easy for her to like herself.

Perhaps it is because it is easy to reveal one's emotions, which is equivalent to transferring the initiative to the other party.

However, since the question has been asked just now, of course he wants to get an answer.

After all, when will she have the courage to ask such a question next time, I'm afraid even she herself doesn't know.

"..." Gu Henzhi thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "In the past many years, I have never declared 'like' once. Perhaps it is because I feel that this word is particularly solemn to me. For the future It will probably also be a very important moment. So... for the time being, I don't want to say something hastily on this occasion."

Shen Mian listened, her eyes dimmed slightly.

"When the freshman league is over, I will tell you my answer in person." Gu Henzhi said, with a gentle look on his face that cannot be ignored.

Shen Mian didn't notice that when he said the word "in person", his tone became a little more serious, with a solemnity that only he knew.

For him, these words are actually not very suitable for the current "Gu Henzhi" and "Mian Mian".Besides, this kind of words, of course, have to be said face to face.As Gu Chengjing, with her truest self...

He believes that this day will come soon!
"...Okay." Although Shen Mian was a little disappointed in her heart, she was not unacceptable to his answer.

Maybe it's his special sense of ritual?
But even so, she vaguely knew his answer, because his solemnity made her happier.At least the nerves that had been a little tense since the question was just asked have now relaxed.

"As compensation, today you are allowed to make a request within my ability?"

Gu Henzhi naturally heard the slightly depressed mood in Shen Mian's tone, so he tried to add something.

"Really?" Shen Mian's eyes lit up instantly. "Then... give our classmate Gu a homework." She deliberately protracted her voice.

"Homework?" Gu Henzhi could tell from her tone that this was definitely "planned for a long time" rather than "temporary intention".

"Although you are still good as a boyfriend, there is no end to learning. On the road to becoming good, you have to believe that there is still room for improvement. So... I will give you a book later and you have to read it. ! Just as...you compensate me for perfunctory me today." As she spoke, her tone quickened a little, obviously with some guilty conscience.

book... um...

Gu Henzhi was stunned for a moment, recalling the two special experiences before, even if he didn't see the name of the so-called "book" by Mianmian, he felt that he should be able to guess the general idea.

Is this really, is it natural to get used to it?
However, as it happens, he is indeed very interested in such books now.In other words, he was originally looking for where the influence of these books on himself came from.

Mianmian's specific location, perhaps we can start with the source of this book.

Thinking of this, he quickly responded, "Okay."

"Then what are you waiting for? Is there any good place on the main star? Let's go shopping! We may not see each other for at least a few days in the future. To be fair, as compensation, I can also promise you a request!" Shen Mian's tone became brisk. Quite a lot.

That being said, she knew that, according to Caring Henzhi's temper, she probably wouldn't make any excessive demands.

He is not very old, but in some respects, he is actually a little old-fashioned.

"Anything is okay?" He suddenly asked.

"...Mmm." Shen Mian's original confidence was made a little uneasy by his sudden question.

This means, what do you really want her to do?
Before she responded, there was a pause of two seconds, but since the words had been spoken, Gu Henzhi pretended that she didn't understand the problem.

He chuckled lightly: "It won't be beyond your ability. Why do you think you're a little nervous? Or did you think of...something you shouldn't think about?" He intentionally misinterpreted her meaning.

"Gu Hate!"

Well, it seems that she doesn't plan to change back to the title "boyfriend" today.

Gu Henzhi thought so, since it was the case: "Let's keep this request for now, I will ask you for it later, but you have to make sure that what you say is true. I made a request, do you dare to agree?"

"Why not?" Shen Mian answered quickly this time.

"That's good." Gu Henzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but a smile overflowed from his eyes.

In fact, he had already thought about what he could get in exchange for this "promise" the first time she said this.As a person who often appears across the negotiating table, he has long been accustomed to gaining greater benefits for himself at the right time.

In contrast, Shen Mian stared into his eyes through the phone screen for two seconds.

Why does she feel like she just dug a hole for herself?
……

The next evening.

The sun was slowly setting from the hillside, and as the sky was getting darker, the street lights on both sides of the road also flashed twice and then instantly became brighter.It's just because there are relatively few people passing by, and the distance between street lights is a bit far.The whole road still looked a little dark.

On a relatively remote path, a man was driving a car on the road.

The body of the van already looked very worn out, but it was fairly stable to drive.

The driver opened the window, held a cigarette in one hand, and skillfully placed the other hand on the steering wheel.From time to time, after taking a puff of a cigarette, he stretched out the hand holding the cigarette out of the car window and dusted off the ash.

The evening wind blew in from the car window and brushed the cheeks of the rest of the car.

Shen Mian was tied up and lying on the back seat of the car, her eyes were closed, but her mind was very clear.The conversation between the driver in the front row of the car and the man next to him clearly appeared in her ears.

"Brother Xiao, let's close the windows. Now is the time for strict investigation. If those people say one thing and do another, and we are caught again, we will be unlucky." It has nothing to do with others. So today's matter is still too dangerous!" The young man on the passenger seat said with a sad face.

The man sitting in the driver's seat breathed out a puff of smoke: "You brat is too timid! There is only one person left, as long as the ceremony is completed, so what if they come to investigate? What can they find out? What's more? , those guys from the criminal police brigade, now they can't protect themselves, how can they care about other people's lives?"

Only one person is missing...the ceremony...the Criminal Police Brigade...

A large amount of information flooded into Shen Mian's mind at the same time.
