111: Liking someone starts with appearance and ends with character

Guo Hao was stunned.

This is a direct approach!

Is this girl so fierce???

She just asked directly!

How can anyone be like this!

But on second thought, it does fit Shen Luoyan’s personality.

During these ten-plus days of military training, Guo Hao still maintained the habit of going to the Library, mainly in the evenings, of course.

Shen Luoyan did the same, going to the Library with Guo Hao every day.

They went at almost the same time each day and gradually developed some tacit understanding.

Reading together every evening.

It had almost become a habit.

To be honest, Guo Hao could feel that Shen Luoyan’s feelings for him were somewhat special, but of course, neither of them said it out loud.

Guo Hao didn't ask, and Shen Luoyan didn't say anything; the two of them had always maintained a tacit understanding.

Honestly, Guo Hao thought this was quite good.

But he hadn't expected that right after the military training ended, while he was still sorting through his gains, Shen Luoyan would suddenly call him out.

The first thing she said when they walked by the school lake was actually this.

This left Guo Hao stunned.

On the other side, Shen Luoyan also fell silent after asking.

The reason she suddenly found Guo Hao today to ask this was because she was also very confused in her heart.

During these past ten-plus days, Shao Ping had mentioned this matter to her quite a bit.

Shao Ping asked her if she liked Guo Hao.

Shen Luoyan didn't say anything; she responded with silence, not refuting Shao Ping as she had before.

Shen Luoyan didn't know why.

She was very unfamiliar with matters of emotion; it was truly outside the scope of her knowledge.

What exactly is called liking?

Shen Luoyan truly didn't know; she was very confused.

She even specifically read some books about intimate relationships in the Library these past few days because of this.

But after reading, Shen Luoyan became even more confused.

According to what was written in the book, the subjective experience of closeness in an intimate relationship can be emotional and cognitive intimacy, including the feeling of being in love, understanding each other, and feeling that each person is special to the other.

Shen Luoyan could feel that Guo Hao was special, but... cognitive intimacy...

She didn't know.

That's why she asked directly today.

She didn't know if Guo Hao had the same confusion, but Guo Hao clearly understood these relationships better than she did.

Looking at Shen Luoyan’s confused expression, Guo Hao smiled.

"Of course, you're so beautiful and have such a good personality, I naturally like you."

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan seriously and said.

"So, you like me because you think I'm beautiful?"

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao.

"That's just one of the reasons."

Guo Hao looked at Shen Luoyan calmly.

"Liking a person is generally based on multiple dimensions, and the first dimension is definitely based on appearance.

If you dislike someone's appearance, then liking is out of the question.

Because of looks, then personality, then liking the whole person - this is the complete process of liking someone."

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan felt a bit flustered.

"So, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Guo Hao asked Shen Luoyan seriously.

"I, I don't know..."

Shen Luoyan looked at Guo Hao somewhat nervously.

At this moment, her heart was in a mess.

"Don't rush, think slowly, speak slowly."

This was the first time Guo Hao had seen Shen Luoyan like this.

In the past, no matter what problem she encountered, she could solve it very calmly and always had a very composed look.

But the Shen Luoyan at this moment had completely lost her usual composure.

Under Guo Hao's comforting words, Shen Luoyan calmed down slightly.

At this time, Guo Hao smiled and continued to ask Shen Luoyan.

"Think carefully about every impression you have of me, every feeling.

Do you like or dislike this face of mine?

Do you like or dislike my personality?

Then gradually extend it to my whole person.

Do you ultimately like or dislike me?"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan slowly raised her head and looked at Guo Hao in front of her.

She was silent for a long while.

"I don't know what liking is... but I feel you are very special.

I always think of you for no reason, and I also get lost in thought because of you.

Does this count as liking?"

"Maybe."

Guo Hao smiled and said, looking at Shen Luoyan in front of him.

"But it's also good for us to maintain the current situation, isn't it?

Maybe you don't need to overthink.

Is being together important?

Is truly liking someone important?"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Shen Luoyan was silent for a long while.

Her eyes showed hesitation.

"But what about Shao Ping..."

"Don't worry!

I'm not interested in her.

I'll make it clear to her!

I won't let her bother you!"

Guo Hao smiled slightly, feeling somewhat grateful to Shao Ping in his heart.

If it weren't for Shao Ping, Shen Luoyan wouldn't have faced her inner feelings, and it would definitely not have been possible for her to be so open with Guo Hao so quickly!

Now that they had talked to this point, to some extent, it was already equivalent to being together!

"Okay..."

Shen Luoyan hesitated slightly and nodded.

After speaking, the two walked by the lake in silence.

Being with Guo Hao, Shen Luoyan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security.

The two walked in silence for a long while.

"Let's go to the Library!"

At this moment, Shen Luoyan suddenly said to Guo Hao.

"Okay!"

Guo Hao nodded.

The two arrived at the Library.

Sitting in their usual spots, Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan exchanged glances.

Shen Luoyan felt a slight ripple in her heart.

Perhaps, is this what it means to have feelings for him?

Shen Luoyan thought silently in her heart.

The two found the books they usually read and started reading.

In Guo Hao's mind, however, he was carefully considering what topic he should choose for his first paper.

Guo Hao pondered for a long time.

Based on his current knowledge structure, his learning in Materials Science was actually relatively average.

He was more proficient in Mathematics and Physics.

Especially in Mathematics, in the area of mathematical modeling, Guo Hao was confident that he was already no less capable than an average sophomore in the Mathematics department.

After all, with his IQ of nearly 240, and studying so diligently.

Even if it was only for a mere ten-plus days, his learning efficiency was definitely not something an average sophomore could compare to.

A Mathematics paper?

Guo Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

What topic?

Mathematics papers are inherently difficult.

After thinking carefully, Guo Hao still found that writing a paper was a bit more difficult than he had imagined, even if it was just a paper for a Q3 journal with not too many requirements.

But it was still a paper, and the topic couldn't be too foolish; at least it should have a little bit of research value.

Of course, for a Q3 journal, actually... spending some money, there was also a chance.

But Guo Hao didn't want to do that.

For his first paper, Guo Hao still cherished this opportunity for experience!

He would have many more opportunities to write papers in the future.

Handling this paper well would also be of great help to him later on.

At this moment, Guo Hao suddenly remembered the two papers he had obtained from the System before!

Perhaps, he could find some inspiration from them!
