This sudden change stunned both Li Zhenzhen and Su Zhe.
The store owner smiled at them, turned around and ran into the campus. His steps were so light that he didn't look like a middle-aged man in his forties at all.
"He's possessed! Chase!!"
Li Zhenzhen reacted immediately and ran after him, with Su Zhe following closely behind.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The target is possessed by a middle-aged man in his forties. He is bald and wearing a brown vest. He is running towards the lake." Li Zhenzhen turned on the communicator and said solemnly.
"Received. We are approaching that side." Fang Mo's voice came from the communicator immediately.
The possessed convenience store owner ran at a very fast speed. He nimbly moved around the campus of Shangjing University. Relying on the flow of people at the end of get out of class and the familiar terrain, he managed to leave Li Zhenzhen behind.
In such a public place, Li Zhenzhen couldn't use the forbidden area and could only keep moving among the crowd, staring at the back of the convenience store owner.
The store owner looked back, and when he passed by a student, the white shadow in his body floated out again and attached itself to a tall male student. He turned around and ran in another direction, leaving the store owner standing there blankly, looking around with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Damn it..." When Li Zhenzhen saw the remnant soul changing bodies, she immediately realized that something was wrong. If the other party continued to rely on the flow of people here to change bodies, she would never be able to catch up.
Li Zhenzhen didn't expect that a simple task of finding the remaining soul would be so difficult.
"Su Zhe, keep chasing!" Li Zhenzhen shouted to Su Zhe, and rushed to the nearest teaching building, reached the top floor as quickly as possible, and searched the crowd.
Soon, she found the location of the possessed student. After confirming that there was no one around, she stretched out her hand in the air and a love arrow fell into her palm out of thin air.
Li Zhenzhen bent her bow and drew her arrow, trying hard to aim the arrow at the student in the crowd. At this distance and with so many people interfering, she couldn't guarantee that her arrow would hit the other person, but there was no other way. If she delayed for a few more seconds, the remnant soul would really escape.
Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath and was about to let go to shoot the arrow when a melodious guitar sound came from not far away.
"It's like the drizzle in the grey sky... it keeps coming and going, silently wetting the ground~"
A deep and magnetic voice accompanied by the sound of guitar rang out. The students shuttling between the teaching buildings were slightly stunned and looked in the direction where the sound came from, including the possessed male student.
Li Zhenzhen's fingers holding the arrow's tail paused slightly, but she did not shoot it out. She glanced in the direction where the sound came from, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Under the willow trees by the lake of Shangjing University, a tall boy was holding a guitar and playing it passionately. His deep voice was accompanied by the sound of falling maple leaves. Although it was not loud, it drowned out the noisy words of the surrounding students, making everyone turn their heads to look at him.
"Li Yifei?" An Qingyu, who was relaxing in the school in a wheelchair, saw the figure holding a guitar under the tree. Jiang Er's surprised voice came from the earphones, "He can sing too?"
An Qingyu blinked, "I remember him. When he was in Cangnan No. 6 Middle School, he was the first among the top ten singers of our school..."
"Don't mention it, the singing is quite nice."
"Let's go and take a look."
Li Yifei's singing seemed to have some kind of magic. The students walking around looked at him. Li Yifei was originally from the basketball team. He was tall and good-looking. At this moment, with the background of music, his charm increased sharply, attracting many female students around to watch.
The boy who was possessed by the remnant soul also stared blankly in the direction of Li Yifei with a lost look, as if he was recalling something.
He pursed his lips slightly, and subconsciously touched the hair beside his ears with his fingertips. He stomped his feet in confusion, and mustered up his courage to walk towards Li Yifei.
"Attention, the target has let down his guard and is walking towards the direction of the boy singing by the lake." Li Zhenzhen saw him slowing down, and after hesitating for a moment, she put away the heart arrow in her hand and spoke into the communicator.
"We're here." Fang Mo's voice followed. "Be careful with your movements. Don't let him possess you and escape again this time."
The members of the reserve team mixed in with the onlookers and walked towards the possessed boy little by little.
"Though it always flickers,
Sometimes stars twinkle,
This is all about your eyes..."
Li Yifei saw more and more girls gathering around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His fingers plucking the strings became more agile, and his melodious voice, accompanied by the youthful song, caused bursts of exclamations from the crowd.
The possessed boy squeezed through the crowd and stood at the front, staring blankly at Li Yifei who was playing the piano under the maple tree. In his mind, the two figures seemed to overlap, and his eyes began to turn red.
Outside the crowd, Lu Menglei was walking along the roadside, carrying a bamboo sword bag on her back, looking lost. She glanced in the direction of Li Yifei, then quickly looked away.
Her pace gradually slowed down.
"...very delicate, not young,
I want to gently smooth it out.
This is to describe the palm of your hand..."
When Lu Menglei heard this lyric, she suddenly paused. Somehow, she remembered the warm and rough hand she had held last night.
Amid the melodious song, she stared down at her palms in a daze. The fierce face and the determined back as he left the training ground could not help but appear in front of her eyes.
Maybe I really thought too much...
At my age and having just divorced, who would like me?
Lu Menglei smiled self-deprecatingly and was about to walk away when a familiar voice came from behind her.
"It seems that you don't like music very much?"
Lu Menglei's body shook violently. She looked back and the face that was just in her mind was already imprinted in her eyes!
The breeze blew through the maple leaves on the treetops, like golden snowflakes dancing to the singing, falling on her and his shoulders. Cao Yuan was holding a black box and looking into Lu Menglei's eyes with a smile.
"…Forgive me for being unable to extricate myself,
Maybe I glanced at you accidentally,
Even a 100-meter sprint would stop.
I just regret that technology is not advanced enough.
Going back in time to accompany you growing up..."
Amidst the music, Lu Menglei was stunned for a long while. For some reason, her cheeks quickly turned red, and she spoke with a stutter:
"Cao, Junior Brother Cao Yuan... why are you here?"
"I came back from my work and went to the Kendo Club. They said you had left early, so I followed the road to find you." Cao Yuan reached out and gently plucked a maple leaf from Lu Menglei's hair, and said:
"Are you still going to practice swordplay?"
"……go!!"
