Chapter 6
On the other side, Gu Liangyi was also thinking about the words that Principal Zong said to him before he left.
He thought he was hiding his emotions well.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered after all?
In fact, Gu Liangyi was very clear that his personality was not as sunny as it seemed.
His extremely high IQ and memory did not bring him any happiness during his childhood. On the contrary, the precocious boy was able to find something wrong in the "milk powder can" that the mother of the welfare home gave to a stranger when his peers were still crying for a piece of biscuit.
However, he could do nothing.
I could only lower my head in panic at the gentle inquiries of the "moms", absent-mindedly open the youth science encyclopedia that I found in the book corner, and stare in a daze at the pattern of the Big Bang on it.
Occasionally, he would find that a child he knew had left the orphanage one day, and he could only tell himself that, just like the adults said, they must have been adopted and had a happy family.
He didn't dare to think too deeply about why none of these children came back to visit them after they left.
Perhaps it was because he was too disappointed in his cowardly self, so when one day, he suddenly heard the voice that saved him from the fire and water in his mind, Gu Liangyi was so surprised.
That's another him.
A brand new, perfect "self" that can make up for all his regrets.
There is no doubt that they are the people in the world who understand each other best. Gu Liangyi knows that this kind of auditory hallucination is called multiple personality disorder in medicine. For this reason, he searched a lot of related professional books under the supervision of his other self.
However, his purpose is not to cure the disease, but to maintain the status quo.
He naively thought that this would stop him from being lonely.
But the other person did not stay with him for long. Because of an unforgivable mistake he made, she completely disappeared from his life.
Since then, Gu Liangyi shut himself off for a long time.
Although he finally plucked up the courage to live a good life because of the appearance of a police officer, there was always a place in Gu Liangyi's heart that was so empty that it was difficult to be filled by anything around him.
It is like a cluster of small flowers that grow out of the rubble in the devastated crater after a huge explosion in the spring of the following year, but they could die at any time if there is a gust of wind.
Choosing to study at Mobei University of Technology was the boldest thing he had ever done in his life.
This place is very far away from the city where he lives. The distance from north to south is more than a thousand kilometers, which is equivalent to crossing half of the country. Both the climate and the people are completely unfamiliar to him.
Although he didn't expect that he would travel through time with the whole school on the first day of school, he didn't feel any local customs at all...
But Gu Liangyi made this decision entirely out of his own heart.
And there is that little bit of courage that remains for myself before that personality disappears.
He wants change.
But can he really change?
Gu Liangyi lowered his eyes and looked at the road stretching forward under his feet, feeling a little confused.
On campus, tall roadside trees are planted on both sides of the wide road. The bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the interlaced leaves, casting bits of light on the forest path covered with fallen leaves.
He couldn't help but slow down his pace, and walked slower and slower.
Looking at the tabby cat in the bushes by the roadside that was not afraid of people at all and even came over to rub against his trouser leg, Gu Liangyi couldn't help but have a soft smile in his eyes.
This was the first time he looked so relaxed since he traveled through time.
"Mimi, come here...you're so fat."
He squatted down and looked in amazement at the tabby cat that had been fed by the students until it was as round as a gas tank. He just wanted to touch its smooth fur, but he didn't expect it to kick its hind legs and jump into his arms.
It skillfully placed its two paws on Gu Liangyi's shoulders and rubbed his woolen vest with its head, showing a strong desire to be petted.
Gu Liangyi noticed that there was a loving cat bed made of cardboard by students on the lawn in front. He walked closer with the cat in his arms and found a few big words written on it:
"Please do not feed this cat, it is overweight and is losing weight!!!"
Next to it was a photo of a cat with its eyes wide open, looking frightened after being secretly photographed.
...No matter how you look at it, it looks like the cat in his arms, except that it seems to have gotten fatter.
Gu Liangyi was silent for a moment, then reached out and scratched Gas Tank Lihua's chin.
"It's not bad to be a college cat," he murmured. "You can live a carefree life."
But soon, Gu Liangyi discovered that this tabby cat was a male cat whose eggs had been removed, and immediately decided to give up this dream for the time being.
A cat's life is not easy; a man can be killed but not humiliated.
"Okay, I have to go to class." He lowered his head and discussed with Lihua in a gentle voice, "Can you jump down by yourself? Otherwise, my vest will be scratched by your claws."
Lihua glanced at him with contempt, then dozed off again calmly.
Gu Liangyi sighed with some distress.
Not only was he about to be late for class, but also because this pig...this cat was really heavy, and his arms could no longer support him.
Suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard from the basketball court in front. The tabby cat in his arms was so scared that its fur stood on end. Before Gu Liang could react, the cat jumped into the bushes without looking back.
But let alone the cat, even Gu Liangyi's heart skipped a beat——
Why are there gunshots on campus?!
He frowned, stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The sound came from inside a basketball court.
Several young instructors gathered together, writing and drawing in notebooks in their hands, apparently recording some data.
At one end of the basketball court, there were several targets supported by iron frames, and at the other end, several students were holding guns in both hands, standing behind the designated yellow line and practicing shooting.
But as the instructors watched, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
The postures of these students are pretty standard, but their accuracy needs to be improved.
Yesterday, Yan Beichen joked in the dormitory that the instructor wanted to train all students into special forces. However, with the current ammunition reserves on campus, it is definitely not enough for so many students to conduct live-fire training.
So in the first assembly training this morning, Instructor Jiao specially selected some candidates who barely met his standards from the school's more than 20,000 students for physical fitness tests, and then selected dozens of them, intending to provide them with small-class elite teaching.
As he expected, most of the students selected were veterans and students with special sports skills.
Except that one.
Instructor Jiao turned his gaze and fell on the black-haired young man standing in the first row of the team.
In order to make it easier to shoot, Yi Yan simply took off his coat, wearing only a tight black sleeveless vest on his upper body, and black overalls and high-top Martin boots on his lower body.
When shooting, the powerful recoil of the gun made the veins on the back of his hands exposed, and the muscles on his arms became tense, but his movements were still steady when shooting. With each bullet fired, Yi Yan's body would shake violently, and the murderous aura around him would become stronger.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three consecutive shots hit the center of the target, and the young man's hair was blown up by the wind, revealing his sweaty white forehead.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Yi Yan had finished an entire magazine.
He changed magazines incredibly quickly, his fingers were so nimble that afterimages were almost visible.
Before Gu Liangyi, who was standing outside the barbed wire, could come to his senses, he had already raised his gun again, stared at the target in front of him with his eagle-like eyes, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger again.
“——Bang!”
This kind of momentum and hit rate is totally unlike that of a novice who is touching a gun for the first time.
Instructor Jiao stared closely at Yi Yan's shooting movements. He felt happy to have discovered a good talent, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - had this kid been abroad before, or was he really gifted?
Gu Liangyi felt a little jealous when he saw this.
The scene he accidentally saw in bed before turning off the lights last night flashed through his mind:
After washing up, Yi Yan wiped his wet curly hair with a towel with a calm expression. When it was almost dry, he pulled the railing of the upper bunk with one hand and climbed onto the bed without even using a ladder.
The whole process was very relaxed and freehand, but he accidentally made Gu Liangyi look handsome.
If the other self was still alive, he would be excited to see such an evenly matched opponent, right? Gu Liang thought, maybe they could become friends.
but……
When I came to Mobei University of Technology, I clearly had the idea of starting over. But if I am still stuck in the past like before, then what kind of a start is that?
Gu Liangyi unconsciously took half a step forward, but then stopped, somewhat hesitant.
However, Instructor Jiao in the field had already noticed him and frowned as he shouted, "Hey, student outside, what's the matter? If you don't have anything to do, don't stay near the shooting range."
Yi Yan also lowered his arms and turned to look in his direction.
Seeing this, Gu Liang could only take a step forward and asked while holding onto the wire mesh: "Instructor, can I have a word with Yi Yan?"
The difficulty of Tang's professional courses is completely incomparable to other majors. Although I don't know why Yi Yan would participate in this kind of selection, after high-intensity physical training, he wants to keep up with the learning progress of other students...
Even Gu Liangyi felt that it was a bit too labor-intensive.
Out of concern for his roommate, Gu Liangyi kindly asked, "Head of the dorm, do you need me to bring you notes for the next professional course? I heard the course content is quite difficult."
Yi Yan casually pushed back his sweat-soaked curly hair, revealing his smooth forehead, and his sharp eyes faded a little bit.
He nodded to Gu Liang and said:
"It's troublesome."
"It's okay. I have the habit of taking notes." Being stared at by Instructor Jiao, Gu Liangyi was a little nervous. "Then you should train hard. I'm leaving first."
Through the barbed wire, he clenched his fist, made a cheering gesture, and then hurried away.
Instructor Jiao looked at Gu Liangyi's receding back, then retracted his gaze after a moment and asked Yi Yan, "Is he your roommate?"
"Um."
"Tsk, what a small body." Instructor Jiao sighed in an ambiguous tone, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the one protecting him in the future. I will tailor a training plan for him. Remember to train him more when you have nothing to do. It's not enough to just have a good brain."
Yi Yan was silent for a few seconds.
"Why, you're not happy?"
"No," he shook his head and looked off into the distance, "that's why I came here."
He once promised someone to protect him, but failed to fulfill his promise.
There won't be a second time.
The author has something to say:
The protagonist just has two personalities, not two souls in one body. The different personalities just magnify certain characteristics of his character infinitely. In essence, he is still the same person, so there is no situation where the attacker falls in love with two people at the same time.
