"What does he mean?" Fan Jie caught up, panting.

At this moment, Cen Yu let go of Pei Hengyun, "He wants to play a little longer."

He Yongning and the others were on the other side of the playground. Cen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find the gatekeeper."

"The gatekeeper?" Pei Hengyun looked at Cen Yu. "Why are you looking for the gatekeeper?"

"Let's go take a look first," Cen Yu said.

If he really was Old Cen's son, then that identity shouldn't be useless... It's just a pity that Old Cen has passed away, and he can't remember anything that happened back then.

Cen Yu took a few steps, still feeling somewhat strange.

When Pei Hengyun described the scene of their meeting, the image immediately appeared in his mind.

But now that he knows he is Cen Yu from Meiman High School and He Yongning's former classmate, why doesn't this plot appear in his mind?

Is it because the plot is not analyzed enough?

While pondering, Cen Yu led them towards the guardhouse.

He Yongning and Jiang Tuan noticed their movements and naturally followed—at this time, the school gate was closed, and Cen Yu arrived at the guardhouse, only to find that there was no one inside.

"..." He frowned as he looked at the guardhouse. "Was there someone here just now?"

He remembered that it was the gatekeeper who let them in.

But now the lights are off, and there's no one in the room.

The gatekeepers at Meiman Middle School are both gatekeepers and school workers, and they live in the gatekeeper's room on weekdays.

Cen Yu carefully observed the guardhouse through the glass and, finding that there was no one there and the doorknob could be turned, simply opened the door and entered the guardhouse with the others.

Once Fan Jie entered the guardhouse, he refused to move.

He trembled as he tried to turn on the switch that controlled the door, but found that no matter how he pressed it, there was no response.

He immediately went out of the guardhouse, intending to climb over, but found that there seemed to be a wall blocking his way...

Cen Yu watched Fan Jie busy himself. When Yu Sheng first revealed his true colors, he guessed that they wouldn't be able to leave Meiman High School before they dealt with Yu Sheng.

Now it seems that's indeed the case.

When Fan Jie re-entered the guardhouse, his face was ashen, as if he knew he was really going to die there.

He sat in despair on a chair in the guardhouse.

He Yongning glanced at the dust on the table. Although it was summer vacation, someone should have been on duty.

However, he was not familiar with the current gatekeeper, and he didn't know if it was because Meiman High School had changed its rules later... Cen Yu looked at the small door behind the gatekeeper's room.

He walked over and opened the door, only to find that it was where the gatekeeper usually lived.

The items are very simple.

A bunk bed, a table, and some bookshelves and such.

In the corner are some simple electrical appliances, such as an electric fan and a kettle. Outside the guardhouse is a small sink where you can wash up. You'll probably have to go to the toilet in the teaching building to use the restroom.

After Cen Yu went inside, she noticed that there was some dust inside as well.

It looks like no one has lived here for at least a long time.

The upper bunk was piled with all sorts of odds and ends, while the bookshelf was filled with books.

Cen Yu casually opened a book and noticed a small name in the bottom right corner—

Cen Yu.

It seems that Cen Yu is indeed the gatekeeper Old Cen's son... Cen Yu put the book back on the bookshelf.

Logically speaking, after Lao Cen passed away, a new gatekeeper came.

Cen Yu looked at the books on the shelves and muttered to himself, "Why didn't they throw the shelves away?"

Pei Hengyun followed him in, curiously looking around the small room. Cen Yu turned to look at him, "Do you remember me?"

Pei Hengyun shook his head. "I don't think I've been here before."

Cen Yu looked at him, "Me too."

This is the strangest thing: why do I have no memory of this part at all?

He looked at He Yongning, who was also about to walk over, and asked, "We took a group photo when we were in our second year of high school, so why didn't we take one when we graduated?"

Cen Yu's words made He Yongning think for a moment, and he slowly shook his head, "...I forgot."

Something's strange, Cen Yu thought to himself.

If it was due to insufficient resources, then they shouldn't have taken any photos at all. Why would they only take photos of the group from the second year of high school but not the group from the third year?

Cen Yu rummaged through the bookshelf again, trying to see if there were any more clues, and then he found a photo in the corner, which turned out to be a photo of him and He Yongning.

However, judging from the buildings in the background, it is the big city where he now lives.

"...We even went to this place together?" Cen Yu asked He Yongning, holding up the photo.

Jiang Tuan glanced at the photo with some curiosity. As if remembering something, he said to He Yongning, "Were you participating in a competition back then?"

"And what about me?" Cen Yu asked.

If He Yongning went to the big city to participate in the competition, then what was his reason?

Judging from the date on the signature, it seems to be March 11, 2012, which is shortly after they made a wish to Yu Sheng.

He Yongning frowned as he looked at the photo, seemingly trying to recall more, but he shook his head. "I can't remember."

He Yongning's reaction was not beyond Cen Yu's expectations.

However, he found that the mystery of this instance seemed to be increasing. Why did he go to a big city with He Yongning in his senior year of high school? Could it be that he also received some kind of invitation?
