Li Yifei was silent for a long time before he forced a smile, "Sorry... I still can't remember clearly."
Bai Ying lowered his head, seeming a little disappointed.
"How about you tell me about your story? Maybe I can remember it."
Bai Ying pondered for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote in his notebook:
——We met in the lecture hall of Shangjing University.
——At that time, you were sitting in the center of the stage holding a guitar, just like yesterday. Your figure became the focus of everyone under the spotlight, and your singing made countless girls fall for you...including me.
——We met because of the work of the Student Union and soon fell in love. We spent three years together here and got married under the stars.
Li Yifei couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw this. Unconsciously, the other white shadows who were watching the fun also gathered around the table, reading the words written in the notebook with relish, and looking at Li Yifei with strange expressions from time to time.
——We were really happy together during those three years. We attended classes together, studied together, and composed music together. You taught me to sing in the music room after class, and I helped you review until the early morning before the exam.
——Until that day…
The white figure holding the pen paused for a moment, but continued writing:
——It was the night before the graduation party. As the best singer at the University of Beijing at that time, you were going to perform the finale on stage. You said you would give me a surprise then...
——But that night, you disappeared.
——We searched the entire university but couldn't find you. Later, the police searched near the university for three days and finally found your blood-stained clothes and a diamond ring wrapped in a gift bag on a small road behind the school.
——They all said you were dead, but I didn’t believe it. I spent ten days searching for you in Shangjing City without sleep, searching everywhere, but still couldn’t find your whereabouts…
——I don’t remember how I returned to school. I didn’t attend the graduation ceremony, nor did I take graduation photos... I just walked step by step through every place in Shangjing University that I had been to with you, and finally came to this teaching building that carries the most memories of us.
——When I was standing on the roof, I seemed to hear the sound of your piano.
The white shadow slowly put down the pen, and the surroundings fell into silence. The other white shadows silently took a few steps back and turned to look at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei stood there like a sculpture, opened his mouth, and for a moment didn't know how to start.
He is not Changhong, he is just a Nanda snake demon walking in this world wearing Changhong's skin... The culprit of all this is himself.
Li Yifei was silent for a long time before he looked into Bai Ying's eyes and spoke hoarsely:
"I'm sorry...but I still can't remember."
At a certain moment, Li Yifei also thought about accepting all of this in the name of "Changhong", but the timing didn't make sense. Bai Ying committed suicide decades ago. After so much time, how could he still maintain his original appearance?
Besides, if I really admit it, then what?
Let her know that Changhong is not actually dead, then what does her suicide mean?
It is impossible for Li Yifei to stay with this girl forever in the name of "Changhong". After he leaves, the girl's remaining soul will be left alone in this classroom. Isn't this even more of a torture?
Li Yifei thought about it and decided to give up her idea first.
"I already know your story, but I'm really not him." Li Yifei said sincerely, "Maybe, I'm his reincarnation or something, that's why I look so similar, but I'm just Li Yifei, not the 'Changhong' you know...
If reincarnation really exists, then my standing here may mean that Chang Hong did encounter misfortune. Now that everything has become the past, Chang Hong has let go of everything and reincarnated, you... should let go too. "
After Li Yifei finished speaking, the white shadow pursed his lips slightly, stared at Li Yifei for a long time, and lowered his head in disappointment.
Several white figures walked out from the back of the classroom and patted her on the shoulders, as if comforting her.
After a moment, she mustered up her courage and wrote in her notebook again:
——I’m sorry, I recognized the wrong person and caused you trouble.
"It's okay, it's not a problem." Li Yifei waved his hands repeatedly, looking at Bai Ying sobbing silently, feeling extremely guilty.
Although it was the Nanda snake demon who killed Changhong, not Li Yifei's personality, in the final analysis, all of this was caused by him, making him feel that he was indeed an unforgivable beast.
"Well, do you have any other wishes? Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Yifei asked tentatively.
Bai Ying thought for a moment, asked other Bai Yings, and continued writing:
——We do have a little wish... I heard from a classmate who just came back from outside that today is the welcome party of Beijing University? If possible, we would like to see it... We have been here for decades, and it has been a long time since we heard anyone singing and dancing. It should be lively, right?
The other white shadows nodded one after another and looked at Li Yifei with anticipation.
"Go to the welcome party..." Li Yifei scratched his head, "I'll open the door for you, can you go out?"
——No, Teacher Jiang’s barrier is invisible, and opening the door is useless, unless you use special means to break it like the boy did before... But if you do that, Teacher Jiang will be angry again, right?
"Teacher Jiang? Where is she? I'll go and beg her to let you out for one night!" Li Yifei said immediately.
——Teacher Jiang usually comes late at night, and where is she now...we don’t know.
Li Yifei looked up at the time. There was still more than an hour left before the welcome party started. He gritted his teeth and said:
"You guys wait here, I'll go find her! Wait for me!"
Li Yifei turned around and rushed out of the classroom, like a flash of lightning, quickly running out of the teaching building.
…
"Isn't there anything here either..."
Cao Yuan walked out of the gymnasium, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and sighed helplessly.
He had been searching the area for almost two hours, but still had no success. Apart from the places he had searched, there seemed to be only...
Cao Yuan turned his head and looked in a certain direction. Under the night sky, the training ground of the Kendo Club was still brightly lit.
I don't know if she is here at this point...
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
"Junior Cao Yuan?!"
In the empty training ground, Lu Menglei, who was training with a bamboo sword, saw Cao Yuan and her eyes suddenly lit up!
"Why are you alone?" Cao Yuan asked.
"The welcome party will start soon, and they are all going to the scene."
"What about you? You're not going?"
"I, I..." Lu Menglei pursed her lips slightly, hid the bamboo sword behind her, and said with a slightly flushed face, "I want to wait for you to go and see it together..."
