The Evil White Nightmare (17)

At the end of the 1984 semester, the school held a joint art evening party, which was a joint evening party of the National Police University and the National Chengchi University. Liang Ran was actually a student of the National Chengchi University, but at that time the two universities were adjacent to each other and were sister institutions. Due to limited conditions, they also shared many public facilities.

Shen Xiangming was sitting in the audience at the time. He had no interest in these singing and dancing programs, but as the president of the Student Union and the monitor of the class, he had to take the lead. When he was not in high spirits, someone on the stage lifted up a guzheng, and the announcer announced that Liang Ran would perform "Butterfly Lovers" next.

When Liang Ran walked up in a white long dress, Shen Xiangming's eyes were immediately absorbed, and the sleepiness and fatigue seemed to disappear completely at that moment.

In Shen Xiangming's eyes, Liang Ran's beauty was second to none in the entire university, and she was graceful and elegant, like a woman who had walked out of an ancient painting.

Shen Xiangming was almost indifferent to the girls who pursued him, but at this moment he fell in love with Liang Ran at first sight.

When Liang Ran finished playing "Butterfly Lovers", the sound of the piano lingered in the hall and lingered in Shen Xiangming's heart for a long time.

Liang Ran's performance ended perfectly. Shen Xiangming has made up his mind to pursue her. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will get her. This is Shen Xiangming's character. He will usually "do whatever it takes" to get what he wants.

At around eight o'clock that evening, Liang Ran removed her makeup and changed her clothes in the backstage before leaving the hall. Shen Xiangming pretended to read the newspaper at the newspaper stand at the entrance of the hall until Liang Ran walked into the night wearing a white dress and carrying a paper bag.

Shen Xiangming followed from a distance. He had to confirm which girls' dormitory Liang Ran lived in, because he didn't want to get to know her in an ordinary way. Instead, he wanted to create an adventure that belonged only to the two of them.

However, Liang Ran was not heading towards the girls' dormitory. She was heading towards the basketball court. When Shen Xiangming was able to see the scene on the basketball court clearly, he saw Liang Ran walking towards a boy who was playing basketball alone. Under the lights of the basketball court, the boy was tall and strong, with very well-proportioned facial features. Even Shen Xiangming, who was a very straight man, was attracted to him.

However, Liang Ran was walking towards him, and called out to the boy in a nightingale-like voice: "Lu He, why are you still playing basketball? Have you eaten?"

The boy named Lu He hugged the basketball and looked at Liang Ran, "How was the performance?"

"If you don't go to see it, how can it be good?"

"I've watched it so many times, and every time it's perfect."

"Not necessarily this time," Liang Ran handed him the bag in his hand, "I brought you a piece of cake for the party."

Lu He took it and said, "Don't bother me next time. I can just eat something casually at night."

The two chatted for a few words and walked side by side towards the dormitory. Shen Xiangming was always full of confidence, but for some reason, at this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

He had an extremely contradictory mentality. He thought Liang Ran and Lu He were a perfect match, but he didn't want to give up easily.

In the following time, Shen Xiangming began to get to know Liang Ran, and of course, he also got to know Lu He. He learned from some classmates that Liang Ran and Lu He did have a good relationship, but their relationship was just close, not lovers in the eyes of ordinary people.

Shen Xiangming also gradually discovered that Lu He was a very lonely boy. He often went alone, had few friends, and never approached girls. Even though Shen Xiangming encountered many beautiful female students who approached Lu He, Lu He always refused them decisively.

Lu He is aloof and indifferent. It seems that the only person he will not reject is Liang Ran. Although he is indifferent to everything, he has a different attitude towards Liang Ran. From any angle, Shen Xiangming feels that Lu He cares about Liang Ran, and it is even more self-evident that Liang Ran cares about Lu He.

But Shen Xiangming is a persistent person. After knowing that they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, he decides to pursue Liang Ran by all means. His first plan is to get to know Lu He.

Shen Xiangming is the president of the Student Union and is also in charge of the Criminal Investigation Club, which is the largest club in the Student Union and the club that every student in the Police University wants to join. Usually, students who join this club must be very outstanding, not only in their studies, but also in having a talent for criminal investigation.

For the first time, Shen Xiangming was very polite and sent the invitation letter to Lu He. Lu He was the top student in his grade, but his lonely personality meant that he had never joined any clubs.

When Shen Xiangming handed the invitation letter to Lu He on the basketball court, he used some provocations. He said, I know you have good grades, but that doesn't mean you will become a good policeman. You can join the criminal investigation club, challenge the "detectives", challenge me, and prove that you are excellent.

"Challenge?" Lu He looked at him with a cold look, "You?"

Shen Xiangming felt that Lu He was provoking him and even looking down on him.

In fact, Shen Xiangming really underestimated him. He didn't expect that Lu He not only went to the Criminal Investigation Society, but also challenged and won all the old members. But he was also pleased about this. If it weren't for Lu He's entry into the Criminal Investigation Society, they would never have achieved the reputation of "the twin stars of the police university" later.

On that occasion, Lu He challenged the twelve "veterans" of the Criminal Investigation Society and won a complete victory in all the simulated extreme difficulties of criminal investigation, which became a legend in the police academy.

That was also the beginning of Shen Xiangming's true acquaintance with Lu He. He felt that Lu He might be unique in the entire Police University.

Shen Xiangming started to treat Lu He "nicely", not only because Lu He was too good and he needed to get close to him. More importantly, after getting close to Lu He, he also got to know Liang Ran.

Knowing outstanding people from among outstanding people made Shen Xiangming realize that he still has a long way to go.

At that time, he became a friend of Lu He and Liang Ran. He also learned that Liang Ran was the daughter of Professor Liang Chenghao, who was a well-known professor of criminal psychology. Even the most stupid people knew that if they got to know her, their future would be smooth.

After meeting Liang Ran, Shen Xiangming began to pursue her by using beautiful ceremonies designed with various flowers.

In fact, Liang Ran ignored him at first. Even though Shen Xiangming was very good, Liang Ran didn't seem to care. Liang Ran's change of attitude towards him was the reason why Shen Xiangming made a major change later.

Shen Xiangming began to imitate Lu He intentionally. This was the first time in his life that he did something against his will. He tried to imitate Lu He's way of speaking and doing things.

That year, Shen Xiangming resigned from all his school positions except for the position of Student Union President. He often visited Liang Ran, immersed in the library and studying. He had excellent academic performance, was eloquent, and imitated Lu He's temperament, which made Liang Ran gradually develop a liking for him.

The thing that really changed Liang Ran's attitude was the student council election that year. Logically, the final outcome must be between Shen Xiangming and Lu He. Lu He is a loner and not good at socializing, but he has extraordinary abilities. Shen Xiangming is very popular and good at socializing. If we talk about comprehensive strength, both of them have the possibility of winning.

But just before the election, Lu He appeared in an important legal report as the president of the Criminal Investigation Society, and his popularity in the school rose steadily. At that election meeting, Shen Xiangming tried to avoid the limelight and gave a very generous speech, which won him applause. In the end, he gave up the election, saying that he would leave the best opportunity to the best people.

In the eyes of many people, Shen Xiangming helped Lu He. That year, Lu He successfully became the president of the Student Union, and Shen Xiangming also left a good reputation.

Lu He went from being the president of the Criminal Investigation Club to the president of the Student Union in a flash, thanks to Shen Xiangming's decisive retreat.

Not long after, Shen Xiangming, who was "free from official duties", launched another offensive. This time, Shen Xiangming became extremely smart. He organized a college basketball game and successfully won the championship together with Lu He. On the night after winning the championship, he confessed to Liang Ran, and Liang Ran agreed.

After Shen Xiangming met Liang Ran, he also tried to understand the true relationship between her and Lu He. He originally thought that they were childhood friends who loved each other.

That day he learned from Liang Ran that Lu He and she were siblings, and Shen Xiangming began to wonder why they had different surnames.

Liang Ran told him a story. When Lu He was five years old, her father and mother died one after another. Her father Liang Chenghao took Lu He away from an orphanage when he was working in Jinyang City. Lu He was one year younger than Liang Ran, so they became siblings.

Lu He lived in the Liang family for ten years. He left the Liang family when he was in high school and rented a house outside, but he always had a close relationship with the Liang family. Liang Ran also told him that the reason why Lu He left the Liang family was that Lu He probably felt that they were both older and he didn't want outsiders to misunderstand their relationship.

In fact, Liang Ran has always treated Lu He as her own brother, especially after he entered university, she usually took care of him. Of course, Lu He was very outstanding, and Liang Ran always regarded him as the pride of the Liang family.

Shen Xiangming and Meng Siqi talked about this past event. Meng Siqi listened attentively until Shen Xiangming said that he had almost finished talking today. Only then did Meng Siqi come to his senses.

She was very curious about what Shen Xiangming said about imitating Lu He. Perhaps he realized that Lu He and Liang Ran were of the same kind, and if he wanted to fit in, he had to make changes. Apparently, he succeeded.

But Shen Xiangming still divorced Liang Ran. As Zhao Leiting said, he was so crazy back then, and many of his pursuits of Liang Ran must have been left in college. And now it is so ironic.

In that era of eloquence but relative conservatism, Shen Xiangming's actions were truly amazing. Although his behavior of "fawning" on Lu He seemed disadvantageous, he actually earned a good reputation and even Liang Ran.

He is undoubtedly a scheming person. But he is also a frank person. He told her these stories, which are different from what she heard. These are the true psychology of the person who experienced them, which shows that Shen Xiangming is a multifaceted person. He is also frank and real.

Meng Siqi also gradually uncovered some secrets about Lu He, the protagonist who can never be avoided in this story. He is from Jinyang City, which should be written in the police files, but his parents died one after another when he was about five years old. Later, he was adopted.

So this explains why he returned to Jinyang after graduation and why he has stayed in Jinyang.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Shen Xiangming asked.

"No more." She just finished speaking, and then she felt that there was something she wanted to know, "There is one thing, Lu He's parents..."

She didn't continue talking, but Shen Xiangming should understand what she meant.

"You're talking about this?" Shen Xiangming said, "Actually, I'm not very clear about it either. I asked Liang Ran back then, but Liang Ran didn't know either. Plus, the old man has passed away, so I'm afraid I can only ask Lu He himself."

"Thank you, Brother Ming, thank you for telling me all this."

"I've heard another story about Lu He. Would you like to hear it?"

"I want to hear..."

After the story was told, Meng Siqi found that the heavy rain turned into a drizzle. She suddenly remembered that she had stayed at Shen Xiangming's house for more than an hour and had eaten. She also knew something about Lu He's experience. She had just thought that Lu He would come back for dinner, but now she felt that Lu He would not come back.

She stood up and said, "Ming, thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late. I'm going to go back to bed. You should go to bed early too."

Shen Xiangming also stood up. Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Meng Siqi's first reaction was that Lu He had returned. She turned her head and looked towards the door.

Shen Xiangming walked towards the door and said, "Don't think about it. It's definitely not Lu He. I know him very well. Apart from studying and working, he only knows how to be competitive. It was like this back then and it's still like this today. He doesn't know what love is, what life is, and what love represents..."

The door opened with a swish, revealing Lu He's cold face.

"Lu He. You're back." Shen Xiangming's expression changed quickly and he said with a smile, "Come into the house quickly. I'll heat up the leftovers for you."

After taking a look at Lu He, he turned around and walked back to the table, picking up the leftovers, saying, "I talked a lot with Siqi today. She and I have a strong affinity. It reminded me of the time when I talked to you and your sister... Oh, come in and sit for a while. I'll heat up the food."

Meng Siqi kept looking at Lu He. She felt something was wrong when she saw that face just now, because Lu He was always so calm, but at this moment he was cold, indifferent, and even a little bit chilly.

She had never seen a crane like this before!

He walked into the house, closed the door and bolted it amid Shen Xiangming's nagging.

Then he slowly walked to the table and stood in front of her. For the first time, Meng Siqi felt very nervous, because Lu He seemed to be wrapped in an iceberg, which was frightening.

However, he seemed to have controlled himself. He stood in front of her, with the corners of his mouth curved, but it was not noticeable against the backdrop of indifference.

He reached into his jacket pocket and took out a black tie. Meng Siqi had no idea what he was trying to do.

The next second, Lu He covered the two ends of the tie with his hands and pulled it straight in front of her. He tried to speak gently, but his voice came out hoarsely: "Siqi, be obedient."

He slowly moved the tie towards her eyes, and Meng Siqi's nervous heart suddenly stopped. She had no idea what Lu He wanted to do. She concentrated and held her breath, looking into his cold eyes.

Lu He slowly put the tie over her eyes and said, "What's going to happen next is a bit cruel, don't take it off!"

Everything in front of Meng Siqi's eyes suddenly went dark.
