Chapter 252 Communicating with Shen He in the corner
The backstage of Yunhan Society is busy yet orderly.
It wasn't abrupt or a disturbance for Gu Chen and his group to visit.
Finina, Paimon and Walnut, the three of them were extremely interested in the backstage and were looking around curiously, as if they wanted to explore everything about the backstage.
Yun Jin was very tolerant. She took out the robes and accessories used for the performance and let the three of them view them.
These things are colorful and have rich patterns, which are very eye-catching.
Walnut, Paimon, and Finina were dazzled and excited by the sight.
Especially Funina.
She held these professional opera costumes and props, and asked Yun Jin one by one with shining eyes.
Of course, Yun Jin answered them one by one with a smile.
As for the others, they just casually visited the backstage, walking around and stopping.
Whenever they encountered something they were curious about, they would ask Yun Jin about it, and Yun Jin would always respond. The atmosphere among them was very harmonious.
Just as everyone was looking around, Gu Chen gave Shen He a look without any expression.
Shen He received this look and immediately understood.
The two of them avoided being seen and went to an inconspicuous corner backstage.
When they met here, their eyes met, and for a moment the atmosphere was somewhat special.
The atmosphere is a bit like...an affair?
But that’s not the case at all.
All in all, it was indeed a bit sneaky for the two of them to be whispering here.
Shen He, who is usually aloof, actually felt a little uncomfortable for a rare time.
She looked around worriedly, especially at Xianyun, fearing that her master would discover that she was acting inappropriately.
Gu Chen, who was always calm, also felt a little uneasy.
He looked at Finina and Paimon cautiously, worried that they would notice his little move.
Fortunately, whether it was Xianyun, Funina or Paimeng, they were all attracted by the various new things in the backstage and no one paid attention to this side.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Chen began to talk quietly with Shen He:
"Shenhe, I'm so sorry.
I haven't been to see you since we last met, and I don't know how your recovery has been going."
There was a hint of tenderness between Shen He's eyebrows and eyes. She looked at Gu Chen seriously:
"I'm fine.
Since you rescued me that time, I recovered quickly.
Under Master's care, he soon recovered."
Gu Chen nodded:
"That's good.
Actually, I agree that your master brought you to Liyue Harbor this time so that you can meet more people.
Perhaps with the cold and aloof personality you have developed over the years, you will feel a little uncomfortable.
However, humans are, after all, social animals and are still social.
I'm not saying it's not good for you to practice in seclusion in the mountains all the time, but... don't you want to meet more friends?"
Scratching his head, Shen He's face was as calm as a lake:
“Meet more friends?
is it necessary? "
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's expression immediately fell a little, and his expression even showed a bit of bitterness and hatred:
"You can kill the conversation with just one sentence. You're just like me."
Shen He still didn't say anything, still looking at Gu Chen quietly, his expression even showing some innocence.
There was nothing he could do. Gu Chen pointed at the red rope on Shen He and said:
"Because of the Red Rope Soul Binding Technique, you rarely experience emotional fluctuations.
As his mood swings decreased, his personality became colder and colder.
Your master and everyone else understand that this won't work.
You have to make friends and communicate with others more.
You need someone to open your heart, someone to gradually warm your heart so that you don’t become a cold person.”
Hearing this, Shen He's expression finally showed some fluctuation.
She looked at Gu Chen and answered bluntly:
"Open my heart? Touch my heart?
Isn’t that you?”
Shen He's straight ball left Gu Chen speechless again, as if the conversation had died down again.
After being choked helplessly for a while, Gu Chen could only say this:
“I’m honored to be the one who opened your heart.
However, this is not so easy and it will take years to slowly melt the ice.
And you have been in Ao Zang Mountain all year round, practicing in seclusion in the mountains.
Being in that kind of environment is not good for your mood.
Plus, I'm usually in Liyue Harbor, so I don't have many opportunities to visit you.
So, your master's decision was correct.
Bringing you to Liyue Harbor will allow you to interact with more people, making it easier for me to find you in the future."
Gu Chen's words made Shen He think deeply. She remembered what her master once said:
“If the mountain doesn’t come to me, then I will go to the mountain?”
After hearing this, Gu Chen was immediately happy:
"Isn't this quite good at summarizing and chatting?
That’s actually what happened.”
Gently stroking his chest, Shen He felt something warm taking root in his chest.
She raised her head slightly again and looked directly into Gu Chen's eyes. Her eyes were sincere and serious:
"Gu Chen, if I settle down in Liyue Harbor, can I come to you anytime?
I always feel that you have become a very important person to me invisibly.
As long as I can be with you, even if I do nothing, I will be happy.
This kind of emotion called joy is rarely seen in Ao Zang Mountain.
But this feeling is not unpleasant, and I really want to experience it again, and more often."
Looking at Shen He like this, Gu Chen felt a little distressed for some reason.
He reached out, touched Shen He's hair, and made a promise:
“Yes, of course.
As long as I have time and it is convenient for me, you can come to me anytime."
A long-lost warm smile appeared on Shen He's cold face:
"Okay, it's agreed."
As the two of them were staring at each other lovingly in this corner, a somewhat harsh and even somewhat unpleasant voice suddenly sounded beside them:
"I said, what did you two agree on behind my back?"
Gu Chen and Shen He immediately turned their heads to look.
It turned out to be Xianyun, who was standing beside them with his hands on his hips, looking at them with dissatisfaction, not very happy.
I don’t know what’s going on, but Xianyun’s temperament at this moment is especially like that of a class teacher who has caught one of his students in a premature love affair.
It's a bit like a parent seeing his cabbages being eaten by a pig, and coming over angrily to demand an explanation.
But no matter what it looked like, Xianyun's expression was not very good.
She first looked at her confused apprentice with concern, and then stared at Gu Chen with unfriendly eyes.
To tell the truth.
Gu Chen was not afraid of Zhongli, the old man, but he felt a little nervous when facing Xianyun like this.
And the way he chose to deal with it was... to play dumb.
As if nothing had happened, Gu Chen faced Xianyun generously:
"What do you mean by making an agreement behind your back?
Xianyun, what we agreed on is a very serious matter, a very normal matter."
Xianyun's vigilant and scrutinizing gaze remained unchanged. She folded her arms and stared at Gu Chen:
"Oh?
Then could you explain to me what this so-called serious and normal thing is?
After all, I am Shen He's master and her guardian.
I have to make sure that no unscrupulous people appear around my apprentice."
