Chapter 11 Just to be seen ah

Seeing my delayed action, Shen Wunian shook his head with a rotten look and got up to walk away.

At least, I thought he was gone until a loud noise came from the corridor.

Bai Qixuan was startled, released from his embrace for a moment and turned his head to look behind him.

That must be the outside display falling over ……,’ he said.

The utility room wasn’t just inside, there were quite a few things piled up outside as well, cluttering up the entire corridor to the point where it was almost impossible to walk.

Let’s get out of here. He said, coming to take my hand.

I avoided him and quickly found an excuse, ‘Bai brother, you go out first, I will rest here …… for a while.

Bai Qixuan looked around, his heart might also be wondering why I want to rest here, but on his face he only hesitated for a moment before nodding, ‘That’s fine, I’ll go out first.

I watched him leave and immediately squared my shoulders, walked out of the shelves and sat down on the same display case as last time, and in the middle of the day, a pair of shoes appeared in front of me, not Bai Qi Xuan’s.

I followed the long legs up a bit and sure enough, it was Shen Wunian who had gone and returned.

Am I disturbing you? He said half-truthfully, not the slightest trace of apology on his face.

I asked without answering, ‘Aren’t you out there picking up customers?

He lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips upturned as if he hadn’t heard the direction of my words, ‘I ran into Miss Zhou who said you and Bai Qixuan seemed to be arguing, so in a moment of concern I came over.

He’s too tall, tilting his head in that position is not very neck friendly, after holding it for a while I couldn’t hold it anymore, I rubbed the back of my neck and lowered my head.

What are you worried about, I can’t beat Bai Qixuan.

I thought to myself, he is Bai Qixuan’s friend, if he is worried, he must be worried about Bai Qixuan as well, but the light laughter coming from the top of my head negated my righteousness.

Can’t I just worry about you?

I bristled, not buying it, ‘Worry about a cold-blooded human, oh?

There was the body of a flying insect on the ground, black and only the size of my little fingernail. It must have been dead for some time, dry and plastered to the ground, the way it had been stepped on so many times.

I rested my chin, using the flying insect as a landing pad for my eyes, and suddenly thought of Nessim, who was about my age.

In the world of the great, Nessim was like that bug, insignificant when he lived and irrelevant when he died.

Compared to him, I was much luckier. ……

A shiny pair of leather shoes appeared in his field of vision, just on ‘Nessim’.

Isn’t that you?

I was stunned at first, straightened up immediately, and when I responded to what Shen Wunian asked, I felt ridiculous again.

He even asked me back?

At that moment, I really wanted to stand up and push him away without looking back, not to be subjected to his unfounded accusation. But as I raised my eyes in anger and met his calm, dark eyes through those glasses, I was unexpectedly reminded of the dialogue between the two ladies in the showroom.

His father was a madman, his mother died trying to save him, and he grew up, even if he had no food or clothing, chances are he was not very healthy mentally, and perhaps …… his morals were just so strong, so strong that he would not allow even a vain assumption to be wrong.

Okay, okay, I’ll save, I’ll save okay! I hopelessly compromised, ‘If I have money, I will definitely prioritise finding that white cat, taking it to the doctor, bathing it and feeding it white and fat.

This answer was much better than the last, and Shen Wunian liked it more. His black eyes lit up with a smile, and his arm moved slightly, gently touching my head.

This is good behaviour.

The scented wind at the end of my nose brushed past, I squinted one side of my eyes, seeing him so easily coaxed into good behaviour, my heart was a little amused and a little good-natured.

“OK, stop petting. It’s not like he’s a puppy.

I pushed his hand away and stood up, ‘The air is bad in here, let’s get out.

I turned my head and patted my own bum, trying to brush away some of the floating dust, and rubbed Shen Wunian to get out.

Just such a good opportunity, why not kiss down?

I stepped out of the foot and retreated, looking at him sideways, thinking he only saw me and Bai Qixuan hugging, did not hear our dialogue, then with him to explain: ”He is me as a younger brother, if I kiss him, he will be scared to death ……”

Shen Wunian snorted coldly, having heard what colourful joke like. Shen Ruinian snorted coldly, as if he had heard a colourful joke.

You really are a child, you don’t understand a man’s heart at all. He turned his feet to face me and lamented, ‘How can you think that he alone treats you like a younger brother?

He approached me slowly, like a beast, crouching and closing the distance to its prey.

What do you mean?’ I gulped and couldn’t stop backing away until my back was against the wall and I couldn’t retreat.

‘You should learn some techniques for seducing men, like in this situation ……’ He placed a hand next to my head, leaning dangerously against it.

In a trance, I was born with an illusion, an illusion that I was about to be dug out of the snow and eaten in one bite by a vicious coyote.

I shivered and was busy reaching out to push him, but his breath shifted and didn’t land where I expected.

He leaned close to my ear and said in a voice that was low and close to a breathy whisper, “You’re going to wrap your arms around him, press your body against his, press those two soft lips of yours against his neck, and as you rub them together, you’re going to shed tears and tell him …… how much you love him.

Those sounds were too close, so close that the spit from the tip of his rolled tongue seemed to go straight into my body. They rushed across the room, up one moment and down the next, promising to raise a storm inside me.

He’ll be so overwhelmed that he’ll pin you to the wall and kiss you, and then you’ll be able to stick your tongue in ……’.

My scalp began to tingle, or rather goosebumps rose all over my body at the meaning of his words and his ambiguous to the point of virtuous tone.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm my mind, ‘You mean Bai really likes me, he just doesn’t dare to admit it himself?

The hot breath retreated from between his ears, Shen Wunian retreated a bit, did not say anything, but his expression was full of the meaning of ‘you’re not that stupid after all’.

I half believe half doubt …… no, I probably only believe two percent, one percent is to see in his on my behalf with Xu Mastiff plea so that I am free from the debt of two million on the part of, there is also one percent is to see in my sick he had to take care of me on the part of.

If you don’t believe me,” he said with a certain certainty, “let’s make a bet.

A bet?

‘If what I say turns out to be true, you’ll have to accompany me on an experiment. Although he was no longer leaning so close to me, his other hand was resting beside my head, and at first glance it looked as if he was holding me in his arms.

I shrank into his embrace, and when I heard the word ‘experiment’, the first thing that came to mind were those small animals in the lab that had been disembowelled, and the second thing that came to mind was the big chub that Shen Wunian was suspected of cutting alive. ……

“What are you thinking about? ?’ Shen Wunian stared at me and suddenly laughed, “Don’t worry, it’s not a human experiment, you won’t be harmed in any way.

Do you know the Pygmalion Effect?

I searched my mind, it wasn’t a term I was familiar with, I shook my head in confusion, ‘I don’t know.

Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus in Greek mythology who fell in love with the maiden he was carving and prayed day and night to the gods to make the statue his wife. Finally, the goddess of love, sensing his abject devotion, gave life to the statue and made them man and wife.

Simply put, what one person expects of another somehow influences the other’s behaviour and self-perception.

Pygmalion wished for the statue to come to life and become his wife, and the statue did.

So if I wanted you to become a man who could make Bai Qixuan faint, would you be able to pursue him successfully?

I was stunned by what he said, this Pygmalion of all people, it wouldn’t be called ‘PUA’, would it?

Think of it as a behavioural psychology experiment, I’ve always been interested in understanding the human psyche. If you say yes, the 2 million favours you owed me before will be written off. Shen Wunian lowered his arm, no longer tying me underneath him.

I was slightly relieved and spoke more calmly, ‘This experiment …… I also have the right to stop it, right? If I don’t want to continue, can I stop it anytime, anywhere?

‘Of course. We can set a safe word and if you want me to stop ……’ He paused for a moment and then continued, ‘I’ll stop anyway.

Other things were fine, but this $2 million was like a mountain of weight, and it made my lack of ‘courage to say no’ even worse – no refusal and no courage.

However, it is good to understand his intentions, not to love House, nor to have a grudge with Bai Qixuan, he is just experimenting with strange people.

This kind of people I have not met, photography club, there is a brother just to shoot a bird around the world to chase to South Africa, there is a sister experimental data is not good three days in the activity room in the magic kowtow, there is also a brother every day will be a keycap on the body, said that only use it to knock out the code is the most perfect.

In this world, it seems normal, but in fact the obsessive crazy people are far more than we think.

Then …… deal. Thinking for a moment, I extended my own right little finger towards him.

Staring at my little finger, the smile on Shen Wunian’s lips deepened a little more.

Let’s agree on ‘Galatea’ as a safe word. Saying this, he also stretched out his right little finger and hooked it in, ‘Deal.

For the next few days, Shen Wunian treated me no differently. As for Bai Qixuan, he was busy entertaining and socialising with the esteemed guests who came to see the exhibition, and his communication with me was also very limited, sometimes he would just hurriedly say a few words when he saw me and then turn his head to greet someone else.

But look at his spirit in the first few days is quite tense, these two days has been more and more comfortable, the work is progressing well, this Xu Mastiff’s Art Fund, I’m afraid to make a lot of money.

[Come to the car park, hurry up.

When I received Shen Wunian’s message, it was almost time to close the museum, and everyone was cleaning up and putting away the dishes.

I thought he had something important to look for me, or there are things I want to take, the jacket can not wear, straight down the stairs quickly ran down.

From a distance, I saw Shen Wunian standing by his car, his eyebrows furrowed, waiting as if he were very impatient.

I quickened my pace and jogged towards him, ‘What’s wrong?

Hearing the voice, he looked over, his face instantly changing from cloudy to sunny, greeted me with two steps and when I reached him, he opened his arms and took me in.

I was held tightly in his arms and my whole body went down for two seconds before I thought to struggle.

Don’t move. He wrapped me in his coat, his timbre laced with a smile that hinted at a bit of smugness, ‘Remember the bet we made?

It was so cold that my teeth chattered as I walked over, and now in his coat, against his body, it was sweltering.

I stuck my head out, completely ignoring his words, put my hand against him and said sharply, ‘This is a car park, it will be seen ……’.

The words came to an abrupt end, my heart pounding heavily, and over Shen Wunian’s shoulder, I saw Bai Qixuan standing not far away, looking at the two of us in shock.

He seemed to be about to leave, or had just returned from outside, holding the car keys, walking in the car park, happened to see Shen Wunian, wanted to say hello, the words did not come out, I flew out in front of him, leapt into Shen Wunian’s arms.

His car keys fell to the ground, but he did not care. It was too far away, so far away that I could not see the emotions in his eyes other than shock, whether it was embarrassment …… or anger.

It’s just to be seen. Shen Wunian said, choking me at the waist, ‘If he comes over to hit me later, you have to help me stop him.
