ML Chapter 6

An Experiment

Advertisement

It was almost noon when Shen Qiaohan arrived at the apartment.

 

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of standard jeans. His hair was simply tied behind his head and he didn’t wear any jewelry. He looked very refreshing and even had a vague bookish air.

 

It was also the first time that Tao Xiao discovered that his image could be transformed into this, and he couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Oh, my god, is this still me?”

 

Finally, he realized the problem and frowned, “Why are you wearing Jason’s clothes?”

 

Shen Qiaohan paused while changing his shoes, turned around and asked, “Isn’t this your clothes? Why are they in your closet?”

 

Tao Xiao scratched his hair, “The dormitory is so small, we wash our clothes together, and sometimes they are placed randomly… But we often wear them together, it’s okay.”

 

After a night of “eavesdropping” on the chats and bragging of several people in the dormitory, Shen Qiaohan already knew that Jason was not as simple as Tao Xiao. He was not a seller, but he had maintained relationships with two or three bosses.

 

Now, when Tao Xiao mentioned that this piece of clothing belonged to Jason, Shen Qiaohan’s psychological cleanliness was about to break out, and his face became not so good.

 

He took a deep breath, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, took out two bottles of soda water and handed them to Tao Xiao, “Sit down for a while and have a drink. I’ll take a shower and then we’ll talk.”

 

Tao Xiao remembered that the water heater in the dormitory was also broken, and Shen Qiaohan might not have been able to take a good shower last night.

“Go ahead, go ahead. I’m fine.” He smiled and waved his hand. “No rush.”

 

​​He was playing the game with his secondary account. He just hung up for a while and was scolded by his teammates all over the screen.

 

When Tao Xiao finished a game, Shen Qiaohan just came out of the shower.

 

He changed into a casual ultramarine polo shirt. The texture and style were not something that Tao Xiao and her friends could afford.

 

“Is this your clothes?” Tao Xiao asked, “This… but you are… me now! Isn’t it equivalent to me wearing your clothes?”

It’s a bit confusing to say, but this is the fact.

 

Shen Qiaohan didn’t care: “It’s okay.”

 

Then he asked: “I met a guy named ‘Wen Shao’ in the bar before. You didn’t have any relationship with him, right?”

 

He asked vaguely, but his tone emphasized the word “relationship” as a hint.

 

Tao Xiao was stunned: “Mr. Wen? Why is he here again? He hasn’t been here for a long time.”

Seeing Shen Qiaohan staring at him, Tao Xiao laughed twice: “No, I have nothing to do with him.”

 

At the end, he added: “Don’t worry, I haven’t had anything with anyone, and I’m still a virgin… I don’t like those messy things, they all know, and they will help me smooth things over.”

 

Tao Xiao understood Shen Qiaohan’s worries.

 

After all, he was in such an environment, doing such a job, and he was more open in the same-sex circle, and he was misunderstood more than once or twice. Because he occasionally danced a more sexy dance, many customers stuffed money and hotel room cards into his pants.

 

Fortunately, Zhao Guangyao, the boss of “Xiao”, is a serious businessman, and Zhou Yamin also has investments in the bar, so they can have a say. With these two people helping him deal with it, the regulars of “Xiao” all knew that Tao Xiao was not a playboy.

However, although understanding is understanding, Tao Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable being suspected like this.

 

Especially, the person opposite was the one Zhou Yamin could never forget.

 

Shen Qiaohan nodded, without any doubt or contempt on his face.

 

“So, what did Young Master Wen do to you? How did you deal with it?” Tao Xiao temporarily put aside the discomfort in her heart and asked the key point.

 

“Nothing,” Shen Qiaohan said truthfully, “I twisted his wrist, and he didn’t get angry.”

Tao Xiao: …

 

“No,” he touched his forehead, “Did you hit him?”

 

Without waiting for Shen Qiaohan to answer, he sighed again: “Young Master Wen loves challenges the most. If you approach him and talk to him, he may not be interested… You are just pitting me!”

 

He felt a little annoyed, thinking that Shen Qiaohan was just a young master who didn’t know the sufferings of the world, too simple, and always causing trouble for others.

 

“Let’s not talk about that first.” Shen Qiaohan sat down on the sofa next to Tao Xiao, “Let’s find out the reason for our soul swap first. I need you to tell me all the details of what happened before you fell into a coma as comprehensively as possible.”

 

Tao Xiao curled his lips and didn’t show more dissatisfaction. Although he has a slightly eccentric personality and doesn’t like Shen Qiaohan’s attitude, he is not so confused about priorities.

 

The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of the two people’s soul swap.

 

He recalled all the details of the day of the comeback performance and focused on describing the moment when the stage chandelier frame fell. Tao Xiao really couldn’t find anything wrong.

 

——The environment was familiar to him, and the dancers were also familiar to him, Wang Jie and another person. The chandelier frame didn’t hit them directly, but they were all startled. Tao Xiao was injured because he pulled a dancer and accidentally stepped too close to the edge of the stage and fell down.

 

“I was startled, my heart was pounding, and then I didn’t know anything.” Tao Xiao scratched her hair, “I dance every day and don’t have heart disease or high blood pressure. I guess I was really scared at the time.”

 

Not knowing what was wrong, Shen Qiaohan nodded and began to talk about his experience.

 

He drove to a small social cocktail party that night and passed the alley near the embassy area. Because he lived there when he was a child, he thought he was familiar with the road and didn’t turn on the navigation.

 

Who knew that the road was being widened there, one side was closed, and the two-way traffic was arranged on the other side, with only two narrow lanes. In order to facilitate driving, there was no isolation guardrail in the middle of the road. It was late at night, and the headlights shone on each other, and the vision was poor. For some reason, a car on the opposite side suddenly turned the steering wheel and hit him.

 

Fortunately, the road was narrow and the speed of both cars was not particularly fast, so no casualties were caused. However, Shen Qiaohan fainted at the moment the two cars collided. When he woke up, his soul had already changed bodies.

 

After listening to Shen Qiaohan’s story, Tao Xiao smacked his lips and thought about it over and over again, but couldn’t figure out anything.

 

“Then it seems that we have nothing in common except that we fainted at the same time?” He pondered, “One was in a bar, and the other was on the road, and we were eight feet away…”

 

More importantly, they had no intersection before.

 

Shen Qiaohan pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not that we don’t have something in common. We all encountered unexpected events and were frightened.”

 

“Frightened?” Tao Xiao was puzzled. “Then do you think we need to be frightened again before we can change back?”

 

Shen Qiaohan: “This is just one direction, we can try.”

 

Tao Xiao rolled her eyes and muttered, “Then we both know Zhou Yamin, isn’t that also a direction?”

 

“Not necessarily.” Shen Qiaohan said, “Things are too bizarre, we must find all the possibilities and then verify them one by one.”

 

If all possibilities cannot be solved after verification, they will have to think about the future.

 

Tao Xiao grinned: “This statement is too… idealistic, right? Why do I feel it is unreliable?”

 

Shen Qiaohan actually thought it was absurd, but something more absurd had already happened: “The exchange of souls between you and me is against common sense. But since it has happened, we want to find a solution, so we can’t restrict our thinking.”

 

It does make sense.

 

Tao Xiao nodded: “Okay. How do we scare ourselves now? We have to scare two people at the same time… Hey, what are you afraid of?”

 

Shen Qiaohan thought for a moment, and very calmly revealed his shortcomings: “I’m afraid of heights and cats.”

 

Tao Xiao’s eyes widened: “Huh? What’s so scary about cats?”

 

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Qiaohan looking at him with “his” dark eyes, expressionless, and extremely intimidating.

 

Tao Xiao laughed and changed the subject: “I’m not afraid of cats, so what should we do? How about we try bungee jumping? Yanhu Amusement Park in the north of Yan City has bungee jumping, which is very high and can be used for double jumping, which is quite suitable. ”

 

After a strange silence, Shen Qiaohan said: “We can watch a horror movie together.”

 

Tao Xiao laughed: “Are you afraid of bungee jumping? Choose a horror movie to escape reality?”

 

Shen Qiaohan glanced at him and said nothing.

 

Tao Xiao scratched her hair: “That’s… I’m not afraid of watching horror movies, horror movies are so exciting.”

 

Shen Qiaohan: “… What are you afraid of?”

 

Tao Xiao thought about it and smacked her lips: “I’m really not particularly afraid of anything… However, if we want to be scared, many unexpected events are fine. Sometimes being patted from behind can scare us… Ghost movies are also fine. Don’t choose the dark ones, just choose the ones where zombies and monsters suddenly appear everywhere, which is stable. ”

 

Finally, they decided to test the effect of watching a horror movie first. After all, the venue required for watching a movie is not complicated, and there is much more time than bungee jumping.

 

It’s just that the windows of the living room of this LOFT apartment are two stories high, the lighting is very good, and the sun is shining outside the window, and there is really no atmosphere for watching a horror movie.

 

The movie had just been playing for ten minutes, and Shen Qiaohan listened to Tao Xiao’s various complaints about the horror scenes, raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

 

“Let’s go,” he said helplessly, “I’ll take the notebook and go to the bedroom to watch it. ”

 

The curtains in the bedroom are blackout curtains. When they are drawn, the room will be pitch black, no different from night.

 

The two moved from the living room to the bedroom, drew the curtains tightly, sat on the bed together, and continued to watch the movie with the laptop.

 

The movie Tao Xiao had specially chosen was one that he had never seen before. It was a typical bloody horror style in Europe and the United States, unlike the Japanese style that played psychological warfare secretly and eerily. But precisely because of this, the horror atmosphere was not particularly in place. Tao Xiao always felt that there was an artificial and funny atmosphere of a horror house in a children’s amusement park everywhere.

 

In the middle of the plot, the protagonist finally escaped from the pursuit and blockade of zombies to a relatively safe urban base, and the color tone of the film was slightly brighter.

 

Shen Qiaohan stared at the screen, his brows slightly locked, and his expression was a little solemn.

 

Tao Xiao endured for more than an hour without complaining. Seeing him like this, he finally couldn’t help it, raised his eyebrows and asked: “What’s wrong with you? Are you scared?”

 

Shen Qiaohan shook his head: “The background music of this plot uses a lot of dissonant intervals, double bass, allegro, and the tension is well created. I’m afraid this base will also mutate. ”

 

Tao Xiao: …

 

The author has something to say:

Tao Xiao: Oh no, the experiment failed.

Shen-Always spoiled by BGM-Qiaohan
