Chapter 8 Revisiting an Old Friend



As night fell and the air grew slightly cool, I leaned against the sturdy wall, warming myself with the thin blanket covering me.

But it still couldn't dispel the coldness in Liu Xiangdong's heart.

What's wrong with him? A senior student at Tanhua City Normal University, president of the Honghu Society! His future is bright!

The motto of the Honghu Society is: Let us, a group of young people from the countryside, cherish lofty ambitions and, starting from the campus, create a great future for ourselves!

Liu Xiangdong had already planned his grand future. After the New Year, he would prepare for the civil service exam, strive to work in Caiyun County after graduation, and then rise step by step to marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life!

What's wrong with me? How did I end up in this tiny, square cage? What happened to me?

From the moment he saw that bloody fruit knife, it seemed as if memories that didn't belong to him were forcibly flooding into his mind.

He killed Li Yan? His own girlfriend?

How could this happen! How did all this occur?!

Liu Xiangdong only remembered that all the changes started last month with the team building event organized by the club.

This is a tradition that has continued for more than ten years. Every October, all members of the Honghu Society on campus form a group to visit the society's founder, senior student Gao Siming.

I'm a senior this year, and I've been there three times already, so I know the way very well.

But this visit seems different. What is it? Why can't I remember?

The senior student met with Li Yan and him alone at the end. The two are the president and vice president of the Honghu Society, respectively. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

Liu Xiangdong remembered that his senior had given him and Li Yan a gift each. But after returning home, he couldn't remember what the gift was.

Not only herself, but Li Yan also seemed to have forgotten what gift she had received.

All I remember is that his was a small, square box, while Li Yan's seemed to be a strip-shaped thing. What was it?

For some reason, after he came back, Li Yan started arguing with him over various reasons.

It started in their love nest, but gradually they started arguing in front of club members, and later on campus and on the street.

Li Yan used to be a gentle, kind, and well-mannered vice president, right? Why is she always picking fights with me now?

Tired, weary!

In fact, Liu Xiangdong felt that he had also changed. His temperament had become impulsive, and he could not control the impulse and desire in his heart!

On the night of the 17th, the two had another big fight after meeting again, and Li Yan said she wanted to go to the plum grove to calm down.

Wait, who is Jingjing? Why does thinking about these things give me a headache?

It hurts so much!

Tired, exhausted! It hurts! Let's end it here!

Liu Xiangdong couldn't remember anything after that, only that he returned to their love nest alone.

Then, he talked and comforted his junior sister on the playground.

Then, I inexplicably ended up in the Anding Division.

How did I end up in jail?

Ah! Why?! What happened?!

Liu Xiangdong desperately tried to bang his head against something, only to realize that he wasn't leaning against the wall at all; he was actually bound in a cage by a straitjacket.

"Ah!" Liu Xiangdong continued to shout at the top of his lungs.

Outside the door, two prison guards were chatting.

"What luck for this kid! The hospital's psychiatric department sent over the diagnosis report this afternoon, and he turns out to be intermittent psychosis! Damn it, mentally ill people can kill without getting away with it, he's really hit the jackpot!"

"Who says otherwise? These days, universities can admit all sorts of mediocre people. If I were ten years younger, I'd go to university too!"

"Hehe, do you want to go to college, or do you want to be a college student?"

...

The next afternoon, Li Nan and Qin Wen arrived at Lakeside Moonlight on time.

Both of them changed into casual clothes today. Li Nan wore a light-colored casual outfit, which matched Qin Wen's light red coat very well.

When we arrived at Gao Siming's building, we saw Gao Siming sitting in a wheelchair in the courtyard, making some arrangements.

Aunt Chen, the nanny, was busy setting up the barbecue grill.

Qin Wen tugged at Li Nan's sleeve, "Old Li, aren't we troubling Brother Gao too much?"

Li Nan, unusually magnanimous, said, "Don't be so formal with Brother Gao. Who told him to have designs on you? Let's bankrupt him again today!"

"Don't bring up something you don't want to talk about. I'm your legal wife now!"

As Qin Wen spoke, she applied pressure to Li Nan's waist.

Li Nan immediately begged for forgiveness, "Just kidding, just kidding!"

Gao Siming, in his wheelchair, saw them from afar and quietly watched their performance from the garden.

Today's barbecue was sumptuous, featuring a heavy zinc-rich dish, palm-sized Zhoushan oysters, thick green chives, and a large plate of tender, no, straight and firm okra...

"What a feast!" Qin Wen exclaimed.

"These are all for your silly Li. Little Mosquito, I prepared cucumbers and onions for you; these are good for your skin!"

Li Nan's eyes seemed to blaze with fire. "You're still up to your old tricks! Even I, your brother, wouldn't dare call her 'Little Mosquito'! It's a pity I can't drink, otherwise I would definitely get you drunk!"

As if seeing through Li Nan's little scheme, he said, "Li the fool, we're having barbecue today. Go inside and bring out a box of 'Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon' liquor. Tonight, we're going to drink until we drop!"

"You'll drink yourself to death! You're already this sick, and you're still drinking!"

"Brother Gao, I'll have a drink with you tonight!" Unexpectedly, Qin Wen, who was next to Li Nan, was more manly than Li Nan and readily agreed.

Just as Li Nan was about to explode, a sudden realization struck him: "Damn, I almost forgot, I have an important mission tonight, I can't afford to lose my composure."
