Chapter 62 Daily Life (Part 9)

A taxi was driving in Xinlian University Town on Saturday.

In the back seat of the car, Mu Yu was deeply shocked by the poster made by Hong Yang.

The blingbling filters and artistic fonts are simply textbook-level cheering peripherals. Lu Chongnian seems to have made his debut even though he hasn't.

Hong Yang saw the backpack he was holding in his arms and asked, "What else did you bring? Why is it so bulging?"

Mu Yu unzipped his backpack and showed him what he had stuffed in it before leaving.

Then Hong Yang was also deeply shocked by him.

——That’s a bunch of badges, with heart-shaped flashing craftsmanship. Lu Chongnian’s face is covered under a bunch of flashing little hearts, making it look even more luxurious!

After the two of them were shocked by each other, they silently stuffed their things back into their backpacks and canvas bags. The driver in the driving seat turned his head to join in the fun and asked, "Are there any celebrities coming to our place to hold a concert today?"

Ye Sui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said: "…………No, the traffic light is red, please look at the road."

The weather was fine, and the sun shone through the dense leaves on both sides of the road, casting spots of light on the ground.

College students were walking or riding bicycles, and everything passed them by quickly.

The car was quiet for a while. Mu Yu turned around and asked Hong Yang, who looked calm: "...Do you remember him?"

Hong Yang came suddenly today. Mu Yu didn't expect that this guy would take this matter so seriously. Wasn't he still hostile to Lu Chongnian before the Yinghu Park copy started?

"No, I only met him a few times that day, and I don't remember anything at all."

"and you……"

"I just think it's the right thing to do," Hong Yang answered frankly, "I wanted to join in to help you in the first place, not to hold you back. Now I've messed up one thing, but I can always do this one well."

In the passenger seat, Ye Sui turned his face to the side.

Mu Yu was startled and said softly, "Yang Yang, what happened that day is not called 'screwing up'."

"I know, I understand what you mean," Hong Yang said slowly, "I just want to help you as much as possible."

"We don't know what will happen if this series of events continues to develop. I just feel that the more we players push, the more the turning point may be in our favor..." Hong Yang's voice was very light, and his eyes were very firm. "Maybe at that moment, a miracle will happen."

Mu Yu stopped talking.

He rubbed Hong Yang's head.

Some time ago, they visited all their classmates in Xinlian University Town, and today they planned to visit students from other classes.

The first stop was the Normal University.

In the milk tea shop outside the Normal University gate.

A group of girls surrounded the three of them, exclaiming and admiring the posters and videos they made.

They were all members of the cheerleading team of Xinlian No. 1 Middle School.

The short-haired girl who led the team asked Mu Yu in surprise: "I heard people say that you turned to the three-dimensional world and started chasing stars. Is it true?"

Another girl said enthusiastically: "When this handsome guy is on a talent show, tell us so we can vote for him and make him debut in the top spot!"

Mu Yu asked tentatively: "He graduated from our school, do you still remember him?"

The girls were all shocked: "——What? Impossible! If there was such a handsome guy in school, there's no way we wouldn't know about him!"

Mu Yu: “…”

Look, this is simply the ultimate bug!

Hong Yang took the milk tea that the waiter had prepared, put it on the table, and said to them, "Do you remember how you first met Mu Yu?"

The short-haired girl blurted out: "It was during the school basketball game."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

"This is the first time our cheerleading team has recruited an outside member, and it's a boy, hahaha."

Mu Yu looked at Hong Yang strangely.

Hong Yang: "Why are you looking at me?"

Mu Yu: "...Didn't you remember nothing?!"

Hong Yang said nonchalantly: "Although I don't remember it, I can still find something wrong if I dig into my memory carefully, right? You don't think that Ye Sui and I believed what you said about knowing them because you helped them draw the posters?"

Mu Yu: “…………”

So he was just playing a fool?! These two knew everything??

Ye Sui adjusted his glasses, and a few big words were written on his face: Your acting skills were really bad back then.

Hong Yang continued to ask the girls: "Who in our class participated in the 3v3 competition? Do you remember?"

The girls immediately reported: "There are Yan Shaowen, that old Duan, and who else..."

"Oh, I can't remember it all at once. My memory has been so bad lately."

"Me too, I feel like the name is on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't remember it..."

The short-haired girl pondered for a long time, and subconsciously glanced at the posters and the paper on the table.

"Lu Chongnian."

She was stunned.

Mu Yu placed her hand on the poster and said to them seriously, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. From today on, remember that his name is Lu Chongnian, okay?"

The short-haired girl was slightly startled.

"Ah? You mean the guy who played basketball in your class was this handsome guy? No way, I have no memory of this at all!"

"Mu Yu should just be saying that this handsome guy is called Lu Zhongnian, not that the guy in their class is called Lu Zhongnian..."

"oh oh."

The short-haired girl lowered her head, glanced at the poster again, and murmured, "Lu Chongnian?"

Her face was filled with confusion and trance.

Mu Yu, Hong Yang and Ye Sui exchanged glances.

Mu Yu said to the girl, "Sister Ling, if you remember anything, feel free to contact me."

*

At 10:30 am, they arrived at their second stop, Xinlian Vocational and Technical College of Culinary Arts.

This school is amazing.

It was clearly Saturday, and it wasn't even time for dinner yet, but as soon as they stepped into the school grounds, they could smell the fragrance in the air, the aroma of cooked food, the aroma of desserts, all kinds of aromas intertwined together...and their stomachs started to growl.

The boy who came out to greet them was a man with dyed yellow hair, a very arrogant look, and looked like a gangster.

However, as soon as the boy saw Mu Yu, his gangster aura disappeared. His eyes lit up and he shouted from a distance of ten meters: "Brother, you finally came to see me!!"

The students passing by were immediately like: “?!”

They looked at Huang Mao, who was grinning like a lonely puppy who had been guarding his home for ten years and finally welcomed his master back home, and Mu Yu, who was wearing a pair of glasses and smelled like a book...Ah? Is this some kind of Japanese school movie?

The yellow-haired boy's name was Gao Zhanyuan. He was a student in Class 10 of Xinlian No. 1 Middle School and was also a notorious bad student in their school.

When he first entered high school, he was feared by all the students in the class. Everyone was saying privately: "Stay away from that master brother, he and his gang of brothers are really good at fighting... Ah? Why is he called master brother? Because his name is Gao Zhanyuan, his parents omitted the word "Zhu" for him, so his brothers filled it in and called him Zhuge Zhuge... Master Brother!"

At that time, no one could have imagined that this bad boy would end up following Mu Yu happily, saying with a smile: "What master brother? Brother Yu, you can just call me Zhuzhu, or you can call me Zhuzhu!"

The circumstances of their acquaintance were also very complicated, which we will not discuss here.

Gao Zhanyuan pulled them to sit down beside the flower bed, and before they could speak, he diligently opened the lunch box he brought.

First, untie the pink floral cloth wrapped around the lunch box, and then open the exquisite lunch box lid.

When they saw the lunch box filled with braised pork, spicy chicken, fried pork chops and stir-fried shredded potatoes... Mu Yu and the other three's pupils dilated.

"You did all this?!"

"Yes," Gao Zhanyuan handed over the chopsticks and looked at Mu Yu with starry eyes, "Brother Yu, try it now, I just learned this!"

Mu Yu swallowed and said, "Then, I won't be polite..."

Ten minutes later.

Mu Yu touched her round belly and said, "Zhuzhu, I have already thought of a name for the restaurant you will open in the future. It will be called 'Pigs will burst if they come here'..."

Gao Zhanyuan: "Is it delicious?"

Mu Yu: "Delicious, delicious!"

Gao Zhanyuan touched his head and smiled shyly: "If you hadn't told me that I had a talent for cooking, I wouldn't have been admitted here. I might have become a hooligan with nothing to do now. Anyway, I am where I am today thanks to you, Brother Yu..."

Mu Yu never takes credit for himself: "No, no, no, your own efforts are the most important. What I said doesn't matter. Let's not talk about this for now. I came to you today because--"

Gao Zhanyuan: "Wait a minute, Brother Yu, let's talk while we eat! I have learned a lot in the past month since school started. This is the mango thousand-layer cake I made. I was thinking of sending it to you today for you to taste, but I didn't expect you to come in person, hehe, hehe."

Mu Yu: "Ah, there's more?"

Another ten minutes later.

Mu Yu leaned back and said, "Zhuzhu, I've thought about it. The name of the restaurant we just mentioned won't work. It should be changed to 'If gods come here, they will be eaten like pigs'..."

Gao Zhanyuan: "Brother Yu, try this again. This is the matcha biscuit I made two days ago. Hehe, hehe..."

Mu Yu: "...and more?"

Ten more minutes later.

Mu Yu fell completely on the lawn, looking at the sky feeling dizzy.

Hong Yang and Ye Sui waved their hands in front of him: "Hey, do you remember why we are here?"

Gao Zhanyuan was unpacking the fourth lunch box he brought. Hearing this, he came over and asked in confusion, "Why did you come to see me today?"

Ye Sui handed him a poster: "Do you remember this person?"

The three people's heads were gathered together above Mu Yu.

Gao Zhanyuan wrinkled his nose when he saw Lu Zhongnian on the poster, and was instinctively unhappy: "I don't know him, who is he? He looks so annoying!"

Mu Yu, who was feeling dizzy from eating, immediately focused his eyes: "? Don't hate him."

"?" Gao Zhanyuan's eyes widened. "Why? Who is he? Brother Yu, why are you defending him so much?"

Mu Yu sat up and said to him, "Lu Chongnian, his name is Lu Chongnian."

Gao Zhanyuan: "??? So who is 'Lu Chongnian' and what is his relationship with you, Brother Yu?"

Mu Yu: "Uh, well, this question..."

Hong Yang: "It's not a relationship that can be disclosed to others, so don't ask."

Gao Zhanyuan was immediately filled with disbelief, shock, and sadness... He looked at Mu Yu in disbelief!

Mu Yu: "...Zhuzhu, please sit down first..."

Gao Zhanyuan was mad: "I don't! Brother Yu, when did you have a secret relationship with a man? As your number one little brother... how could I not know about it! Where is this person named Lu Chongnian? Ah? Call him out, I want to see where this vixen came from..."

Ye Sui and Hong Yang rushed over to restrain him, while Mu Yu looked up at the sky, feeling dizzy.

Suddenly I remembered that when I was in high school, Gao Zhanyuan seemed to be like this. He was like a cat with its fur standing on end when he saw Lu Chongnian.

Mu Yu didn't know where the hostility from him came from. It seemed that the two of them had never talked to each other... And now, although this guy didn't remember Lu Chongnian, some of his instincts were still intact.

Mu Yu didn't know whether he should laugh or sigh.

He sighed first, then smiled.

He glanced at the fourth lunch box brought by Gao Zhanyuan and was surprised to find that it contained some chocolates.

Gao Zhanyuan was still spitting fire, but when he saw Mu Yu holding a piece of chocolate he made, his expression was a little strange, he suddenly became quiet and said hesitantly: "...Brother Yu, what's wrong?"

Mu Yu turned his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you think of doing this?"

There were nuts melted in the chocolate in his hand.

Because it is handmade, Gao Zhanyuan is generous with the ingredients, mixing a lot of nuts and chocolate together, which looks delicious.

Gao Zhanyuan said blankly: "Brother Yu, you don't like..."

"It's not that I like it," Mu Yu said hoarsely, "You forgot that I don't like nut chocolate."

Gao Zhanyuan wanted to say, "If it's not you who likes him, then who is he?" But just as the words came out of his mouth, he stopped there.

Because he suddenly remembered that it was not Mu Yu who liked nut chocolate.

It’s just that in the past, whenever Mu Yu was unhappy, I could just give him a few nut chocolates to coax him into a good mood. This is because…

Because someone likes this sweet and sticky nutty chocolate.

Although Gao Zhanyuan was a little unhappy—he had always been unhappy with a certain person, and he didn't understand why his brother Yu liked that guy—but this trick worked every time, so he finally had to succumb to the influence of that guy on his brother Yu...

But who is that "someone"?

Gao Zhanyuan stood there in a daze.

…

It was already two or three in the afternoon when we left.

Gao Zhanyuan's face would occasionally flash with confusion, but Mu Yu still said, "If you remember anything, feel free to contact me."

"Oh, okay," Gao Zhanyuan hesitated and asked, "Brother Yu, is that person named Lu Chongnian... important?"

Mu Yu was silent for a moment and said, "It's very important."

Whether it is for him or for more people, this series of copy events... is very important.

"...I understand," Gao Zhanyuan said angrily, "Although I don't understand what's going on, I will remember it and tell you, Brother Yu, if I remember anything."

"Okay," Mu Yu touched Gao Zhanyuan's head, "Thank you, Zhuzhu."

The day passed quickly.

Dusk fell on the university town.

Now that we have officially entered autumn, the sky darkens quickly. Around six o'clock, the reflected world above the earth lights up punctually like street lights.

Their last stop today was Xinlian Medical University, where they came to meet an old acquaintance from Class 11 next door.

The other party was waiting for them in the cafeteria.

After getting food for Mu Yu and the others and swiping their cards, the four of them sat down by the window.

This man's name was Qu Ge, and he was always the third best student in their grade.

He is thin and gentle, and the scent of books on him is stronger than Mu Yu.

He opened a vocabulary memorization app, put his phone aside, picked up his chopsticks and said, "It's a bit strange. Why did you come to see me suddenly?"

Hong Yang has always been shocked by Qu Ge's multitasking. At this moment, he swallowed his saliva and was too embarrassed to take out the fancy poster he made, as he always felt that the style did not match.

Mu Yu felt that he could no longer use the "Lu Chongnian is an idol who has not yet debuted" trick to deceive Qu Ge.

Just as he was thinking about how to start the conversation, Qu Ge asked him first: "How do you feel about being in science and engineering?"

"Hmm? Ah, it's OK. It's good."

"I remember you were studying computer science? Are you planning to take a second minor?"

“There is no plan for the time being.”

Qu Ge glanced at him, and that glance seemed to say "It's a bit of a waste of your learning ability."

He ate his meal politely and memorized some words while saying, "I would like to learn some German. It may be helpful to me in the future."

Mu Yu said: "That's great, you can definitely take both into account."

"Well," Qu Ge asked again, "So what do you want to see me about?"

Mu Yu thought about it and took out Lu Zhongnian's photo from the photo album on his mobile phone and handed it to Qu Ge.

Qu Ge put down his chopsticks, took Mu Yu's phone, and looked at the photo carefully.

Mu Yu said carefully: "This person is called Lu Chongnian. I don't know if you remember him. He... is a student of our school, in our Class 12."

Ye Sui and Hong Yang did not interrupt the whole process.

Mu Yu slowly and unhurriedly recounted the entire story of Lu Chongnian's disappearance from beginning to end.

"...I don't know if you still remember that our school's monthly exams were divided into examination rooms based on rankings, and the three of us always sat together. If you recall the scene at that time, you might find that there are gaps in the picture..."

Qu Ge listened quietly, still looking at the photo on his phone.

Mu Yu kept paying attention to his expression, thinking that he would stop at any time if the situation was not right, but Qu Ge's expression remained calm.

At this time, he spoke two words.

"really."

Mu Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he chose to tell Qu Ge the truth was because he thought Qu Ge could accept it.

As a competitor for three years, he knew very well how smart Qu Ge was, how receptive he was, and how efficient it was to communicate with him.

Mu Yu felt relieved.

It’s enough to get to this point today.

For all the people they visited, he didn't expect them to be able to remember Lu Zhongnian completely immediately.

Let them remember the name first, then they can slowly...

"I do remember that in every exam in the past, either you or he got first place. I was always inferior to you two."

Qu Ge calmly put down Mu Yu's phone.

"Didn't Lu Chongnian go to Lian University? What happened to him? Why did I almost forget about him?...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Yu, Hong Yang and Ye Sui were all shocked.

This guy...just remembered it like that?!

At this moment, Hong Yang seemed to notice something, his expression changed, and he pulled Mu Yu: "...Look outside!"

Mu Yu and Ye Sui followed Hong Yang's gaze.

Their gazes passed through the window and fell on the ground, and they were even more shocked.

They clearly remembered that when they sat down just now, the reflection on the ground outside the cafeteria was a tall building, but now, most of the tall building has rotated to the bottom of the cafeteria and disappeared...

According to the normal rotation speed of the reflected world, this building shouldn't be spinning so fast!

——Did the reflected world appear to be spinning faster for a moment? ?

Why?

Could it be because... Qu Ge just recalled Lu Chongnian? !

They all turned around and looked at the boy in front of them in surprise.

Qu Ge noticed the change in their expressions and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"On the ground..." His gaze turned out the window and landed on the place they had just seen. "Is there anything that we ordinary people can't see?"
