Chapter 65

The friend looked at the student and asked, "Does this person look like you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the mirror to the student. The student didn't want to look at it because he was afraid, but he also felt that if he didn't look, he wouldn't know what happened. He might as well take a look since the mirror was not in his hand anyway. However, he didn't expect that the most terrifying thing was that the mirror was not in his hand and he couldn't deal with his fear in the first time.

The student squinted his eyes and looked at the surface of the mirror. His friend pointed it to him and he found that it was indeed his own face in the mirror. He breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask, "Isn't this normal? What's the problem?"

Then, he suddenly remembered that his friend said that when the person in the mirror looked like him, his face was not reflected at all. But now when he looked at the person in the mirror, that person was clearly not him. He could not smile, but the person in the mirror was smiling.

A friend came over and looked at the mirror with him, and said to him, "Look, I am so close to you, but there is no image of me in the mirror. Isn't it interesting?"

The student shuddered and looked at his friend, expecting to see a face full of fear. Instead, he saw a rotten face covered with smelly meat scraps. He screamed in fear and pushed his friend away. The two of them distanced themselves. His friend was confused and asked angrily, still holding the mirror in his hand, "What's going on?"

He threw the mirror to the ground and said angrily, "Didn't you ask me to look at the mirror? I have already looked at it, why are you still yelling? What do you mean by this? Do you think it's embarrassing to look at the mirror with me, or are you obsessed with acting and think that I will not get angry no matter how you mess around? The mirror is yours, and your face is yours too. I'm not angry with you. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"

The student frowned and asked, "What do you mean I deliberately frightened you? How can I scare you when I'm already so frightened?"

My friend sneered, "How would I know your tricks? If I knew, what would I be afraid of? The things are yours! Even your face. You still don't know what I'm talking about? Then I'll make it clearer! Look carefully, the face in the mirror is not mine at all. If you didn't hide a photo of yourself behind the mirror, what else could it be?"

The student was stunned for a moment. At first he thought it made sense, but then he thought, no, I didn't put the photo behind the mirror at all. You can't slander me like this! Are you sick?

He was also angry. He walked over angrily and stepped on the mirror twice, saying angrily, "What a rubbish! I don't want it! I don't want it now! What can you do to me?"

Seeing his expression, his friend thought he was angry with him and sneered, "You are the one who did it. Why are you unhappy? Wasn't it you? How dare you lose your temper!"

The student snorted coldly: "Idiots are idiots. There is nothing to say. I don't want to explain to you."

The friend was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Damn it! If I had known it would be like this today, I shouldn't have been friends with you."

They both walked away.

No one cared about the mirror on the ground.

A sanitation worker not far away came over with a huge bag to collect the garbage. He swept up the mirror fragments on the ground, put them into the bag, and wanted to throw them into the trash can, so that it would be convenient to drag the trash can with rollers down the mountain to dispose of the garbage later.

However, when he took out the mirror, the sanitation worker took a look at the mirror fragments and found that at some point, the mirror fragments stuck together, as if the previous breakup was an illusion, and there were only slight cracks on the surface. The sanitation worker took a look and didn't think there was anything wrong. He just thought he had seen it wrong before and was about to throw the mirror into the trash can.

However, just as he was about to throw it in, the sanitation worker suddenly felt that he caught a glimpse of something passing by in the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw his own face in the mirror smiling at him. It was a very strange smile. The sanitation worker's hand shook, and the mirror fell into the trash can. He looked again and found that the mirror inside was gone.

A chill ran up from the soles of his feet to his forehead. The sanitation worker didn't care about anything else and quickly dealt with the garbage and ran away from the place.

It was getting dark.

The students had not yet reached the top of the mountain, so they walked for a while and decided to take a rest.

The teacher had no objection and the students were happy not to move forward.

Leyuan mingled with the students and walked for a while towards the edge as if taking a stroll. As he walked, he disappeared, and soon he came back with someone else by his side.

Jongin came back with him.

A student thought Jongin was good-looking and asked Lok Won, "Where did you know such a good-looking guy? I've never seen him before!"

Jongin replied, "I just met him on the street. No need to ask. We had nothing to do with each other before."

The student smiled at the two and said, "Where are you from? Aren't we all here to rest before going up the mountain? It doesn't look like you're going up the mountain or down the mountain."

Before he finished speaking, someone screamed not far away: "I can't go down the mountain! I can't go down the mountain!"

A relative next to the man comforted him: "It's okay, just don't go down the mountain for the time being."

The man yelled, "You don't know what I'm talking about! We can't get down the mountain! We can't get down! No matter who wants to go down the mountain now, it's impossible! Impossible! Do you understand? Impossible! We can't get out! We are trapped, trapped on the mountain like Blizzard Mountain!"

He held his head and murmured, "We deserve to die. We will all die, die here. It doesn't matter. There are so many people here. No matter what, we won't be unable to survive. There must be food. There is food everywhere. We won't die for a while, hahahaha..."

He looked mad.

His wife was a little helpless. She comforted him and apologized to the people around her.

"He wasn't like this before. Maybe he got a little upset. It's okay. You don't need to help. I will take care of him. He will get better. If he doesn't get better, there's nothing I can do. I'm not a doctor. I can't treat illnesses. He hasn't been to a psychiatric hospital. How can there be drugs to treat mental illness? Really, there aren't any."

The student looked away, a little stunned, and looked at Lok Won and Jongin and asked, "Did you two also want to go out but couldn't?"

Jongin said, "Almost. However, I came up from below. The people below didn't go out, and neither did I. When I came up, I saw someone I knew, so I just followed him and walked the same way. I felt it was safer."

He said as he pulled Leyuan to him and asked, "Is it okay?"

Paradise said, “Sure.”

Jongin smiled at the student and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

The student hesitated, "Aren't you two too close? I've never seen Leyuan so close to anyone. Don't you feel uncomfortable? Besides, you just met today, so you're too close. The two friends I saw on the street before had a fight. What if you guys have a fight on the street later?"

Jongin smiled and said, “That’s not a problem.”

Lok Won leaned over to Jongin and said, "Yeah, we're not going to have a fight for now anyway."

He looked at Jongin and asked, "Really?"

Jongin smiled and nodded, "Yeah. Who doesn't have time to quarrel? Especially at a time like this. If I'm not careful, I won't be able to see my friends anymore. I won't do that."

He went to the park and whispered, "What a hassle."

Le Yuan nodded in agreement.

The student opposite opened his mouth, feeling that whatever he said now would be redundant or would provoke others. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I wish you a safe journey."

Jongin smiled and said, "Thank you, but now we are all on the mountain. The most we can do is climb up and then down, then climb up again. I'm afraid there is no way to go all the way, and we can't catch the wind."

The student smiled awkwardly and said, "That's just nonsense. I was not considerate enough."

Jongin said, “It’s okay.”

He waved his hand and said, "Take your time to rest. We have something else to talk about, so I won't talk to you anymore."

The student nodded quickly: "Okay."

He could hardly wait to get these two people away from him, otherwise that feeling of "you are redundant" would come back and he would feel very uncomfortable.

After the two men left, the student breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and even felt a little happier.

Lok Won and Jongin sat alone.

Jongin glanced at the student. Since he was looking at him from behind, the student didn't turn around, so he didn't know what was happening. Jongin muttered to Leyuan, "Look at him. He doesn't like you at all. If he didn't hate you, why would he treat you like this? He was so happy to see you leave. Your class is not a good thing. It's better to burn it than to look for gold in a pile of sand."

He smiled at Paradise.

Leyuan glanced at him and said, "Not really. If they really start a fire, I'll be the first to die."

Jongin held onto Leyuan tightly and said, "I don't care about them. If you want to die, remember to take me with you. I don't want to be left alone halfway and not even be able to find your shadow. How pitiful. You don't know, I want to see you in my dreams. Unfortunately, I can never find you. It's so sad."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed and as if he wanted to cry.

Looking from the side, his cheeks were red, and it was hard to tell whether he was embarrassed or sad.

Paradise blinked and asked, "Really?"

Jongin pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Of course it's true."

He sighed and muttered under his breath: "How can it not be true? How can it not be true? As if I could have any other way. How could you do this to me?"

Le Yuan closed his eyes and said, "I hope we can be together forever."
