It was a nice day when I entered the bar just now, but now it is drizzling.
Ai Yu and Lan Ling walked out side by side. Ai Yu held the magnolia flower tightly in her hand. "It's raining. Do you have an umbrella?" Her eyes fell on Lan Ling's white suit. "It must be quite expensive, right?"
Lan Ling didn't care much: "It's just a suit, it's nothing. I won't send you off, be careful on the road."
"Okay." Ai Yu watched Lan Ling leave, teased the flower in her hand with her index finger, and smiled faintly, "Magnolia."
——
At the end of March, the western part of Rainbow Country was attacked by a large number of star beasts. These star beasts came from the sea, and their leader resembled a mermaid, with fierce fighting power. Anyone killed by the mermaid would turn into foam in an instant and eventually disappear.
The Rainbow Kingdom was unable to withstand the attack and urgently sought help from the other four countries.
However, at this moment, the other four countries were also attacked by a large number of star beasts and were unable to cope with the situation.
Ai Yu watched the world news with a frown on his face.
Life in Jigong has not changed much. After all, they are still just students, and it is not yet time for them to join the war.
Li Yuzhen, on the other hand, had been disappearing frequently lately. He hadn't been seen during two evening study sessions, and the messages he had sent had fallen on deaf ears. Ai Yu was deeply worried, fearing something had happened to Li Yuzhen.
"Ai Yu, why do I feel like you've grown taller again?" Zhao Liuer compared her own height with Ai Yu's and felt a little confused. "We are both sixteen years old, why haven't I grown any taller?" After her height reached 174 cm, she hadn't moved at all.
Ai Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "No."
"What are you taking notes of?" Zhao Liu'er leaned forward to take a look, but Ai Yu avoided her.
"Nothing, I'm going to the library." Ai Yu closed his notebook and left quickly.
Zhao Liuer pouted, feeling as if her child had grown up but was no longer close to her. In the past, Ai Yu would never avoid her no matter what she did.
Ai Yu is a frequent visitor to the library, so he always meets Liu Qiyu. The two of them often sit next to each other without any verbal communication, but today is an exception.
Liu Qiyu looked up and saw Ai Yu coming. He waved and signaled her to hurry up.
Ai Yu quickly walked over, put his notebook away, looked at Liu Qiyu in confusion, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Liu Qiyu handed the information he had sorted out to Ai Yu, with a little pride in his eyes: "It's what you wanted."
Ai Yu was a little surprised and took the information: "Thank you."
Liu Qiyu responded and buried his head in his study.
Ai Yu looked through the information compiled by Liu Qiyu, and had a rough idea in his mind. He excerpted the important information into his notebook and then returned the information to Liu Qiyu.
Liu Qiyu came over with a rare curiosity and asked, "What do you want this irrelevant information for?"
It was only because Ai Yu found him that anyone else might be so familiar with the books in the Jigong Library.
Ai Yu shook her head: "It's okay."
Although Ai Yu didn't say anything, Liu Qiyu could guess a thing or two: "Are you researching Xila?"
"Yes and no." Ai Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled as he thought of something. "Anyway, what I'm researching has nothing to do with you, right?"
Liu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "You don't consider me a friend?"
"Not really, it's just... nothing's confirmed yet, what can I say?" Ai Yu sighed slightly, "Just read a book."
Liu Qiyu didn't ask any more questions and just read his book.
Just as Ai Yu was making her plans, a long-lost voice suddenly rang in her ears. It was still the intermittent, electronic-sounding voice:
"Sera, Sera..."
Ai Yu's pupils shrank slightly. Where did this sound come from?
Just as Ai Yu was distracted, she found that the scene around her had changed. One image after another appeared in front of her, and they were all about a red-haired woman running around looking for something.
She called out over and over again: "Sera, Sera..."
Ai Yu stretched out her hand to touch those bubble-like phantoms, but saw that the red-haired woman had materialized. She grabbed Ai Yu's neck with both hands, crying and laughing, as if she was crazy: "Sera, why are you leaving?" Ai Yu wanted to twist the woman's arms to break free, but found that he could not touch this woman at all.
The red-haired woman's hands became stronger and stronger, and Ai Yu was already having difficulty breathing.
She was raging, she was roaring, she was questioning.
"Sera, why are you leaving!"
Ai Yu's face flushed red, his limbs felt weak, and he managed to utter a hoarse word through his throat: "I, no, am, Sera..."
The red-haired woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let go of Ai Yu, wiped the tears from her face with her thumb, turned and left, as if everything that had just happened had never happened. She walked aimlessly in the darkness.
"Sera, where are you?"
It was not until the red-haired woman disappeared from her sight that Ai Yu suddenly returned to the present world. She touched her neck, and the feeling of suffocation was still there.
"Liu Qiyu..."
"Um?"
"Did I do anything strange just now?" Ai Yu adjusted his breathing and asked Liu Qiyu eagerly.
"No, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the school infirmary?"
"No...Okay." Ai Yu stood up, packed his things, and left quickly.
Liu Qiyu felt strange. Ai Yu usually sat here until there were only twenty minutes left before class, and then had dinner with him before class. Why did she leave early today?
Ai Yu ran to Ouyang Mingyuan's office as fast as she could, knocked on the door, and asked Ouyang Mingyuan, "Where is Teacher Li?"
Ouyang Mingyuan almost spit out his tea. "What are you doing? Does Li Yuzhen owe you money?"
Ai Yu ignored Ouyang Mingyuan's joke: "Where is Teacher Li?"
Ouyang Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat and he frowned slightly: "He... is at home."
"Teacher Ouyang, please tell me where is Teacher Li?" It was the first time that Ai Yu asked someone so eagerly, which scared Ouyang Mingyuan.
The latter patted his chest, leaned back in his chair, and sighed, "If only I knew, but the problem is I don't know, Ai Yu. I also want to know where Li Yuzhen is."
Ai Yu looked away, bit her lip and thought for a moment, then handed her notebook to Ouyang Mingyuan. "Teacher Ouyang, please keep an eye on my notebook for me. Also, if I don't make it back for class tonight, please ask for leave for me."
"And you?"
Ai Yu sprouted wings on his back, opened the office window, and flew out, leaving behind only two words: "Looking for someone."
Ouyang Mingyuan sighed, "Do you cherish Li Yuzhen so much? Could it be a forbidden love?" He then spat twice, cursing himself for his dirty thoughts, "Li Yuzhen has saved her before?"
It's amazing that this little girl remembers it so clearly.
Putting aside all those random thoughts, Ouyang Mingyuan looked at the notebook in his hand, adjusted his glasses, curled his lips slightly, and opened it on the table.
It's an opportunity.
