Chapter 230 Perhaps, We Were Brothers in Our Previous Life
After tricking Ye Sheng into becoming lame, Lu Mingfei told everyone to go to bed, but after everyone left, Chu Zihang stayed behind.
No one else was surprised by this.
After all, Lu Mingfei had been chasing Chu Zihang from the very beginning, with the same tenacity as Naruto chasing Sass.
Now that the two have finally reunited, they still haven't had the space to communicate alone, so everyone tacitly creates opportunities for them.
After everyone left, only two teenagers, about seventeen or eighteen years old, were left in the dean's office.
Lu Mingfei was in no hurry to reminisce about the past. He first took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, then took out two high-heeled glasses, rinsed them with hot water as usual, then poured two-thirds of the dark red wine into them and handed them to Chu Zihang.
To be honest, how can I live without alcohol?
"It's the middle of the night, and there's nowhere to get food to go, so let's just make do with this. Tomorrow I'll cook for you and let you taste my cooking skills."
Lu Mingfei raised his glass and clinked it with Chu Zihang.
This is Japan, not Gensokyo. It is not allowed to cook hot pot with the internal organs dropped in a fight, and Deadpool's meat is poisonous.
Chu Zihang had many questions in his mind, so he just took a sip, while Lu Mingfei drank half a cup just to moisten his throat.
"What? Don't you like the wine?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
Neither of them is a heavy drinker and they basically never drink unless on special occasions. Even on their wedding day, they would mix water with white wine and Sprite with red wine.
"During the mission, it is not advisable to drink."
"Haha, Kassel College also implements militarized management." Lu Mingfei smiled and did not go into details.
After a brief silence, he sighed and said, "It would be great if Aunt Xiaoyan was like you. Drinking and staying up late can easily ruin a person's spirit and figure. Although she is naturally beautiful, she is not a mixed-blood after all."
"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded, then shook his head: "I can't persuade him."
"Is your stepfather not good to her?" Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Very good. I will take time to accompany her during the holidays, and take her to travel abroad during the winter and summer vacations." Chu Zihang's voice was indifferent, and he did not mention himself at all:
"It's just that he is very busy and often works overtime at the company, so he can only go home on weekends.
He never interferes with his mother's behavior and wishes, as long as she is happy. "
"I see." Lu Mingfei nodded and asked without warning:
"What about Uncle Chu? Where is he?"
"He's dead."
Chu Zihang's voice was very calm, and his expression did not change, as if he had already accepted this sad fact.
Only the wine in the glass swayed slightly, creating ripples.
"Is it related to the mark on your back?"
"Um."
"Who is it?" Lu Mingfei's eyes were a little cold.
"Odin." Chu Zihang looked up at him and said word by word, "Odin, the main god in Norse mythology."
"On the night when 'Dandelion' landed?" Such a fragment flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind -
Without an umbrella and with no one to pick me up, I stood under the eaves of the school, flatteringly asking for a ride from the beautiful piano girl, but was ruthlessly rejected. In the end, I could only rush into the rain with my schoolbag on my head, fantasizing that I had the superpower to avoid water.
And in the corner of the picture, you can vaguely see a handsome and melancholy boy looking over here from afar, with a deep gaze and an expression as if he wants to say something but stops.
Lu Mingfei guessed that it might be that his good brother, who appeared cold on the outside but was warm-hearted, saw that “he” was in such a mess and wanted to give him a ride out of kindness, but unfortunately the man had already run away before he could finish his words.
Chu Zihang saw the reminiscence on Lu Mingfei's face and knew that he must have guessed something, so he nodded:
"Do you know my dad?"
"I know him and he took good care of me." Lu Mingfei nodded frankly. Anyway, Chu Tianjiao was nowhere to be found, alive or dead, and Chu Zihang had no way to verify it.
Looking at his frank eyes, Chu Zihang did not doubt it. After all, it was normal for his unreliable father, who was always so frivolous, to play with children.
I really wanted to ask Lu Mingfei how he got along with my unreliable father, but in the end I didn't say it and just nodded silently.
"Is Uncle Chu also from Kassel College?"
"It should be, although he told me that if I were to study abroad, I should never apply to Kassel College, and that it was full of crazy people."
You treat me with sincerity, and I will repay you with my heart.
Lu Mingfei did not hide anything that happened tonight from him and gave him enough trust, so naturally he would not hide anything either.
In particular, the other party had a close relationship with the deceased father.
“Can you tell me in detail what happened to you, Odin?” Lu Mingfei picked up the red wine and poured it again, waiting for Chu Zihang’s response.
After a brief silence, the latter narrated what happened on that rainy night.
The narrative is straightforward, but one can still feel the anger and unwillingness in his words.
Lu Mingfei listened to the Deadpool chasing on the viaduct and the eight-legged horse blocking the road, and frowned slightly: "I seem to have seen this method somewhere."
"France, Susie and the commissioner of the French branch were trapped in the town by Deadpool, and you rescued them." Chu Zihang solved his doubts and told him about the runes he found on the bronze wolf mask.
"Odin's Wolf?" Lu Mingfei pondered over it carefully and felt that something was wrong. It seemed that there was a mastermind behind the scenes who linked all the things together, but the information he collected in a short time was not enough.
But what is certain is that the guy who pretends to be a god and calls himself Odin has already topped Lu Mingfei's must-kill list together with Herzog.
"So you joined Kassel College just to avenge Uncle Chu?"
"Um."
"What about Aunt Xiaoyan?" Lu Mingfei looked at him, "Have you ever thought about how sad she would be if you died on the road of revenge?
The secret technique you use to purify your bloodline by force will cause irreversible damage to your body if used too much. Have you never considered the future? ! "
"I have written my will." Chu Zihang lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the wine in the glass, reflecting the lights on the ceiling, which were charming and dazzling:
"She is still young and can have another child."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang deeply, knowing that this guy would never joke with his personality.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger boiling in his heart, he said calmly: "Don't use that method too much. Dragon Quest is a team game. If you can't win alone, you can recruit partners.
If you want to seek revenge on Odin, call me and I will leave the last blow to you."
Chu Zihang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Why?"
“Who knows?” Lu Mingfei raised his glass and clinked it with his.
"Maybe we were brothers in our previous life."
Feeling the almost unconditional sincerity in his words, even if the man's heart is as hard as iron, Chu Zihang's iron should be warmed up.
He nodded, drank half of the wine in the glass, and raised a barely perceptible arc at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you."
“No need to thank each other, brothers.” Lu Mingfei waved his hand and poured wine again:
“I checked the information, and many people, except you, have forgotten Uncle Chu.
But there are two others who seem to have forgotten you as well."
"Who?" Chu Zihang frowned. He still remembered his teammates on the school basketball team and the city basketball team. He even remembered those guys in elementary school who laughed at him for being a poor guy whose parents were divorced.
How could I forget something that Lu Mingfei specifically pointed out?
Lu Mingfei looked at him and said two names: "Xia Tian, Xia Mi, do you still remember them?"
Suddenly——
It was as if an electric current hit the top of his head directly from his coccyx. Chu Zihang could not help but shiver. It seemed as if something in his mind was about to break out of the ground, but after the shiver, that thing was buried again and never saw the light of day again.
It felt like Newton's coffin was moving and was being forced back by a group of people.
However, just now, when the soil in the grave loosened, some images still flashed.
In those pictures, he went to the movies with a girl in a short skirt and a high ponytail, made a girl giggle in the aquarium, and sorted out documents in an old house, with a girl in a black tights dancing behind him...
He still remembered these things. One was the cheerleader who danced in high heels during the basketball game with another school, and the other was the head of the dance troupe of Shilan Middle School. That was their only interaction, and he never contacted them again after that...
But who was the last girl dancing behind him trying to get his attention?
Why doesn't he have any impression at all?
Suddenly, he remembered the girl he thought of when he had his second bloody outburst in order to prevent himself from losing his sanity.
Could it be her?
Chu Zihang frowned, trying hard to recall everything about the girl.
However, his memories seemed determined to go against him. The more he tried to dig out the past, the deeper it hid. Until he drank the red wine in the glass without realizing it, he still had no clue.
Lu Mingfei understood what was happening, and leaned over to fill his glass, saying in a leisurely tone:
"It seems that it's not just me, your brain has also been tampered with."
"Well, are you willing to go check it out now?"
No matter how strict the inspections at Kassel College are, they will not be so detailed as to infringe on students' privacy, especially such an important part of the brain.
Chu Zihang pondered for a moment and nodded.
“Haha, don’t drink for now, in case the alcohol interferes with the test results later.” Lu Mingfei put down the wine that was about to reach his lips, stood up and tilted his head towards the door:
"Let's go then?"
Chu Zihang stood up and walked side by side with him.
"Kassel Academy is unreliable. Just follow me if you believe me. I won't harm you."
On the way, Lu Mingfei said quietly: "At least, if I really have to die, I will die before you, instead of watching you die."
Chu Zihang remained silent.
So Lu Mingfei said, "In terms of bloodline alone, Finkel is actually stronger than both you and Caesar, but why does he always perform so poorly? Is it because he doesn't like to stand out?"
"The Sheqi Eight Clan is a man-eating swamp, and Kassel Academy is no less so. I don't want to see you go through fire and water for the ambitions of the foreigners and get hurt, or even lose your life."
