"Did Cen Yu come to my house today?"

"Cen Yu..."

He squeezed the basketball in his hand again, "Cen Yu."

Seeing that Jiang Tuan looked preoccupied, Cen Yu stopped and wanted to hear what he was going to say.

At that moment, Jiang Tuan spotted Pei Hengyun outside the school... The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Tuan smiled at Cen Yu, "Let's play basketball together again when my leg is better."

In that very, very long dream, in which he could never wake up.

He always wanted to ask Cen Yu, "Pei Hengyun is your best friend, but what about me and He Yongning?"

Or, to put it another way, what about me?

In that dream, everything was blurry... When Jiang Tuan woke up, he saw Cen Yu in the next hospital bed and felt a sense of relief.

It's a pity that the words I didn't say back then, and the things I didn't understand, I no longer have a reason to continue talking about.

Jiang Tuan tossed the toy basketball in his hand to Cen Yu, saying, "I'll come find you there later."

After he finished speaking, he looked at He Yongning. The other man had a calm expression and was walking slowly, but when their eyes met, He Yongning nodded at him.

Perhaps He Yongning also felt regret, Jiang Tuan suddenly thought.

However, He Yongning is the kind of person who will never give this answer.

...

Cen Yu quietly arrived at that laboratory.

He leaned on his cane, making a thumping sound in the empty toilet. When he reached the mirror by the sink, he took out an apple and a knife from his pocket, closed the toilet door, and continued peeling the apple in front of the mirror.

Even though it's not nighttime, the gesture is enough.

Cen Yu thought to himself without any burden, and sure enough, a moment later, he found that the apple peel he had peeled off was picked up by an unseen hand.

Yu Sheng's image also appeared in the mirror.

In the mirror, Yu Sheng was wearing a shirt and trousers, with darkness behind him. He moved his fingers slightly, and the apple in Cen Yu's hand came into his hand in the mirror.

What is your wish?

Cen Yu put the fruit knife aside. "...Actually, I've been thinking about what you mentioned before."

"I still don't really want to stay here," Cen Yu said honestly.

Yu Sheng chewed on the apple expressionlessly, seemingly unsurprised by Cen Yu's answer.

After completing the entire storyline, Yu Sheng's character setting naturally came to mind for Cen Yu—

As the owner of the tomb at the bottom of the teaching building, Yu Sheng cannot leave the area of ​​Meiman High School. Although in the previous timeline it seems that Yu Sheng left Meiman High School and came to Jiang Tuan and other people's homes, that was because it was a "dream".

Cen Yu, as Old Cen's son, had lived in the elementary school gatehouse since he was a child, and that's how he got to know Yu Sheng.

Cen Yu exclaimed that this part of the plot was utterly melodramatic!

Nine-year-old Cen Yu was wandering around the deserted school building during summer vacation when he saw Yu Sheng sitting on a desk... He walked over, intending to scare the man, but unexpectedly, the man turned his head away before he got close, which startled Cen Yu quite a bit.

"You scared me to death!" Cen Yu complained first, then glanced at Yu Sheng, "What are you doing here?"

"Students are not allowed to enter the school during the summer vacation."

"Then how did you get in?" Yu Sheng asked.

Of course he knew who the brat in front of him was.

"I live here."

“I live here too,” Yu Sheng said.

“?” Cen Yu frowned and glanced at Yu Sheng. “…Are you the new security guard?”

"..." Yu Sheng was also surprised by Cen Yu's answer.

"Is he a new security guard?"

“I am a ghost,” Yu Sheng said. “I live underground.”

Cen Yu continued to frown, unsure whether he didn't understand the sentence or simply didn't care. After thinking for a long time, he said, "...Oh, then you're pretty awesome."

Yu Sheng really didn't understand whether this "awesome" referred to his being a ghost or to the awesomeness of living underground.

Cen Yu was worried about having no one to play with during summer vacation. Ever since he discovered the mysterious older brother at school, he would often search for this mysterious older brother who lived underground in the deserted campus.

Occasionally, Cen Yu would invite Yu Sheng to go out and have fun with him.

"I can't go outside." Seeing that Cen Yu's face was flushed from the heat, Yu Sheng placed his palm on Cen Yu's forehead to cool him down.

Cen Yu felt a cool sensation on his forehead and immediately thought Yu Sheng was amazing. No wonder he was his best friend!

It can even control body temperature!

"Why can't we go out?" Cen Yu broke the popsicle she bought in half and gave half to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng reached out and took it.

He couldn't eat it, and he knew that Cen Yu was sharing it with him so that he could keep it cold and prevent it from melting too quickly in the summer heat.

“…I don’t know,” Yu Sheng said.

He really couldn't leave the campus area.

Cen Yu, with a popsicle in her mouth, glanced at the half-eaten popsicle in Yu Sheng's hand. Seeing that it showed no signs of melting, she nodded in satisfaction.

"May I have your name?"

"Yu Sheng".

How to write it?

Yu Sheng reached out and wrote his name in Cen Yu's palm.

Cen Yu, munching on his popsicle, was too embarrassed to admit that he didn't understand what Yu Sheng had written, so he took it upon himself to give his friend a nickname—

“I’ll give you a nickname.” Cen Yu nodded. “That will make it easier to write.”

Yu Sheng guessed that he didn't even know how to write his name, but he decided to go along with it anyway. He held the popsicle in his hand and looked at Cen Yu sitting next to him, "What nickname?"
