Fan Meinan raised her head and was stunned to see Zhang Heng standing in front of her.
"What are you doing here?!"
"I went to your ward earlier, but you weren't there," Zhang Heng said. He took a bottle of Coke Zero from the shelf on the side, went to the counter, scanned the QR code, and paid. After that, he walked back. "Since I came in from the front door of the hospital, I came out from the back door to look for it."
"I'm not asking how you found this convenience store. I'm asking how you knew I was here."
However, Zhang Heng did not answer her question. He opened the Coke, took a sip, and then pulled out the chair next to Fan Meinan, sat down, and looked into her eyes. "How serious is it?"
"What do you mean, how serious?" Fan Meinan looked a little guilty. "I'm just here for a small operation. I don't want everyone to know about it, especially when I think about how I might have to accept your hypocritical concern. I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles."
"You've been sick for a long time. The second time we met, I carried you for a while to avoid Zavilcha. At that time, I realized that you were much lighter than the average person. That's why you like to wear baggy clothes. Later, in order to save Han Lu, you used your telepathy to find your sister. You took off your shirt in the bathroom, and I noticed that your body was indeed much thinner than the average person. Also, the last time we met at McDonald's, you didn't look too good. Your condition must have progressed again. You had a band-aid on the back of your hand. You didn't want me to notice the needle marks on the back of your hand, right?"
Zhang Heng paused. "Actually, I should have realized it earlier. I went back to your house with you after the Lego quest. You are different from your sister, and your relationship with your parents is fine. However, in the real world, you chose to leave home alone and go to another city thousands of miles away. You didn't even go back for Chinese New Year because you didn't want your parents to see you like this …"
"You don't know anything," Fan Meinan interrupted Zhang Heng coldly. "Instead of sleeping, you came here and sat in front of me, acting like Detective Conan. You kept buzzing in my ear, showing off your observation skills, and exposing other people's scars as if everything was under your control. Why can't you just mind your own business? Aren't you still participating in the proxy war?"
"My score is now temporarily in first place," Zhang Heng said.
"…"
"Then go find something else to do. Go find your rich investor or Sister Cherry Blossom. They might even be willing to throw you an opening party to celebrate you winning first place. Shen Xixi will do too. I think she likes a self-righteous guy like you." Fan Meinan was irritated. "One of you represents justice, and the other represents arrogance. What a perfect match. You can even do your little trick of twisting a bottle cap for a girl. I bet she won't show it on the surface, but deep down, she must be overjoyed."
"This is not the first day I met you. I know you can be mean sometimes, but today, you broke your record of being mean. What you said just now was really impressive." Zhang Heng wasn't angry when he heard that. He took another sip of Coke. "But I don't think I've offended you recently."
"Of course not. You're right, handsome. I'm just a vicious and mean little liar. Unlike a decent person like you, I'm thinking about how to deceive the next person every day … So, can you please stop disturbing my work? It wasn't easy for me to sneak into this hospital. I'm brewing some shocking conspiracy and planning to show my skills. If you want to know what's going to happen next, you can wait to browse the forum like everyone else and wait to admire my heroic appearance."
"Okay."
Zhang Heng's quick answer stunned Fan Meinan. She waited for half a minute, but Zhang Heng still didn't show any signs of getting up. So, she pulled a long face again.
"Interesting. I don't remember the chairs here being glued."
"I will leave right away," Zhang Heng said. "As long as you answer me honestly. Why didn't you participate in the first round of the proxy war?" Zhang Heng glanced at his starfish mechanical watch as he spoke. "You should know that the first round of the game will be over in less than eighteen hours, right? Did your temperamental boss fire you? "
"Haha, I just realized that you're really good at provoking people." Fan Meinan was a little upset by Zhang Heng's sudden appearance. She was no longer in the mood to eat the instant noodles in front of her. She put down her fork, turned around, and looked at Zhang Heng. "Well, if you want to know the reason, I will tell you the reason."
"It couldn't be better."
"Loki is different from any other god. If you have read Norse mythology, you should know that he has always been a very special existence. As the son of a giant, he lives with the gods. However, he has never been very sociable, always drifting away from the rules. This is why he has two agents, me and my sister. According to the rules of the organizing committee, each god can only choose one agent to participate in the proxy war. We didn't take this rule seriously at first, thinking that he would find a way to let both of us participate in the proxy war like before. However, on the day the game started, Loki told us that only one of us could participate in this proxy war."
"What about the other person?" Zhang Heng asked.
"He was eliminated," Fan Meinan said. Fan Meinan said, "He said that for the sake of fairness, he will give each of us a test. The first person to pass the test will be officially chosen by him as his agent, and the other person will have nothing to do with him from then on. The power he bestowed will also be taken back."
"So, you are the one who failed the test."
"Yes." Fan Meinan smiled self-deprecatingly. "Aren't you curious about what my test is?"
"Even if you don't say it, I can more or less guess it. You're not stupid. I told you that if you need anything, you can come to me for help. But this time, you didn't come to me at all. Instead, you intentionally stayed away from me. It seems that your test has something to do with me." Zhang Heng said, "I'm just a little curious. Why is Loki suddenly so interested in killing me?"
"He is the god of trickery and mischief. He likes to see his target's ugly expression when they are fooled. No one can really guess what is going on in his head," Fan Meinan said. "But it doesn't matter anyway. I lost, and my sister won. It's as simple as that."
