Chapter 27 Long Time No See, I Finally Know Your Name
The two boarded the car for their return trip, the music playing in the car was soothing and gentle: Mystry of Love (remix).
Wen Yanyu leaned against the window, silently gazing at the distant scenery.
In terms of fighting skills, he only knows a rudimentary set of martial arts. He can hold his own against an ordinary person, but he would struggle against a knife-wielding thug.
In desperation, he could only use the abilities he had brought back, as well as the painkillers the system had given him; thankfully, they were still usable.
only.
Wen Yanyu clenched his still trembling hands, thinking about the consequences of using those abilities.
The pain inside my body was excruciating, a piercing pain that shot straight to my brain along my nerves, accompanied by intense dizziness and nausea.
The feeling of having that bloody memory awakened was truly unbearable, like a reminder once again that he hadn't escaped yet, that he wasn't free.
In a state of emotional outburst, he almost killed someone.
He almost did something irreversible.
Wen Yanyu closed his eyes.
He knew he wasn't a good person; he had done many bad things and hurt many people while being controlled by the plot in his reincarnations.
So he volunteered to be the target of retaliation and used to vent his anger.
It didn't matter to him.
But he never took that step.
It was so close.
The production team started a live broadcast as soon as the two got into the car, ostensibly to let the audience know they were safe, but actually to capitalize on the show's popularity. At this point, the live broadcast's popularity soared.
[Baby, waaaaah, baby, why did you rush out like that? Baby, waaaaah, what if something happened?]
[Dude, I'll never tease you about being a delicate little bunny again. You're a special forces soldier, you're awesome.]
[My bunny has been completely modified into a special forces bunny; I can already hallucinate a giant bunny in a uniform.]
[Remember when Wen Yanyu ran inside, Brother Lu was anxiously shouting, "What's the use of you going there with your malnourished weight?" But when he saw the video of the scene, he arrived halfway and was completely dumbfounded.]
[Hilarious! It looks like a gust of wind could blow it over, but actually a knife could plunge it straight into the tile floor.]
Lu Mingxu hesitated to speak the whole way, then stopped, then continued to speak.
I secretly glanced at the person several times.
"I'm sorry, were you scared by me?"
Wen Yanyu suddenly turned her head and asked him in a gentle voice, with a hint of apology.
I did lose control of my emotions just now.
Lu Mingxu was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously shook his head.
Wen Yanyu rested her chin on her hand, looked away, and gazed back at the scenery outside the car.
The air inside the car was filled with the scent of peaches, mixed with a faint smell of blood, carrying an indescribable eeriness and malevolence.
Lu Mingxu stared blankly at the person beside him for a long time.
"Was your junior high school in Lanzhou, called Mingzhi?"
Wen Yanyu nodded.
"Was your middle school home very close to a small alley, like No. 46 Changshan Road, and there was a bus stop a few hundred meters away if you turned left from there? Wasn't that right?"
Lu Mingxu moved closer to him, his voice trembling with excitement.
A flicker of surprise crossed Wen Yanyu's eyes, and she shrank back in astonishment. "How did you know?"
The viewers and the production team were also puzzled, closely watching the two's every move.
What's going on here?
Do you know each other?
Could it be a classmate?
[Wen Yanyu looks completely bewildered; it doesn't seem like we know each other.]
Before Wen Yanyu could even speak.
Lu Mingxu brushed his hair back in front of his eyes, made a glasses gesture, and then reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of peanut candies.
She stared at him expectantly, her eyes brimming with anticipation.
Wen Yanyu was taken aback when she saw the man's appearance.
A few seconds later.
He tentatively asked, "The one with glasses, Little Sheep?"
With his suspicions confirmed, Lu Mingxu's eyes lit up, and his tense demeanor instantly softened and relaxed.
"Yes! Little Sheep, it's me!!! It really is you! You still remember me? I... I didn't dare to confirm it at first. I... I didn't expect to see you under these circumstances."
It turns out that someone still remembers me.
Wen Yanyu glanced at the peanut candy in the other person's hand, sniffed, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I should be the one who's surprised. How did you recognize me?"
After all, he had changed a lot since then, and it was nighttime, so he hadn't told the other person his name, yet they still recognized him.
And there's a plot too...
Why would someone remember you?
Lu Mingxu's expression froze for a moment, then he touched his nose.
"The way you kick someone in the groin first and then slap them when you fight is exactly the same as before."
They specialize in attacking people's groin, and their eating habits are like a little rabbit's.
Wen Yanyu was slightly taken aback, then suddenly burst out laughing. The tension and irritation that had been permeating her body suddenly softened and became gentle.
"That's a move my dad taught me; it's super effective against men."
【Oh, we really know each other!】
What on earth is this little lamb?
[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard! The way he kicks people in the groin and slaps them is exactly the same as back then, hahaha, they've got some drama going on! Someone dig this out!]
So, my wife was a violent rabbit since she was little?
[I feel like Lu Mingxu suddenly went from being a cold, aloof guy to a soft, cuddly little animal, hahaha, is this the power of familiarity?]
Watching Lu Ge's eyes go from doubt, hesitation, probing, anticipation, and excitement to a blank, happy little animal, I laughed myself to death.
I thought Lu Mingxu only had that old-fashioned, cadre-like expression.
I'm still completely confused. What happened between these two days?
"I didn't even have a chance to ask your name before you disappeared. I waited for you in that alley several times but never saw you again. Later, after I moved to the city center, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Lu Mingxu looked at the person in front of him whom he hadn't seen in many years.
The boy, who had almost completely changed, was still the same boy who would protect people behind him as before. Countless emotions surged in his heart.
For a moment, they fell silent.
When his parents passed away, they left him a considerable inheritance. In addition, being adopted by the Sang family meant he didn't have much of a financial burden.
However, he was not very sociable to begin with, and coupled with his inferiority complex and withdrawn personality, during that winter when it got dark early, he would always be blocked by people he had offended before who were eyeing his pocket money on his way home from school.
He had no parents, and the Sang family rarely cared for him except for nominally being his guardians. He lived alone, and the school was too lazy to interfere. Those people were even more unscrupulous.
Almost with nowhere to run, he ran into the alley, trying to find a shortcut to escape, but he was still caught by the three men. He was forced to lie in a pile of trash cans and searched and humiliated. It was at that time that Wen Yanyu appeared.
He walked out of the apartment building in the alley, beat the three men to the ground in a few moves, gave them a warning and scared them away, then pulled him out of the garbage heap.
For more than a month after that, he would still pass by that alley from time to time. Those people were persistent, so he went to that alley again. He thought he would never have good luck again, but the person appeared again.
The last warning was given, and those people were taken to a juvenile detention center. He didn't know who it was. As a young boy, he thought it might be the person who lived in the alley. He didn't ask, and the person didn't say either.
Winter nights are very cold, campus life is lonely, but the loneliness and confusion after losing his parents are even colder than winter. He doesn't know where to go or what his future holds.
So even when he wasn't being harassed, he would occasionally wander into that alley.
He went from talking to himself to the person sitting lazily beside him.
Listen to his uncontrollable rambling, listen to his bewilderment and unease, listen to his dream of becoming an actor that he has never mentioned since his parents passed away, listen to his pain and helplessness, listen to his tears that he doesn't know who to cry to.
They ate roasted sweet potatoes together in the alley, sat in silence, occasionally played in the snow, and chatted about random, incomprehensible things.
I accompanied him to wait for the last train on the cold winter platform, introduced him to the names of the stars in the night sky, and listened to him sing a slightly off-key nursery rhyme to himself.
He told me that the little lamb should grow up quickly, and one day the little lamb would step onto the world stage, and the little lamb would be loved by many, many people.
He didn't know the other person's name, and the other person didn't know his name either. They just called him the little lamb on his scarf. The other person always wore a winter hat with rabbit ears, often had his hands in his pockets, and ate like a little rabbit.
Judging from the school uniform, he knew the other person was younger than him, but he also wanted to find someone to rely on, so he jokingly called the other person "Brother Rabbit".
The last time was on a snowy night, the night lights were lonely, and the little rabbit kept him company while he waited for the bus at the bus stop, handing him a big bag of peanut candy.
The person watched him quietly from outside the window.
He thought they would meet again, and he thought that next time he must ask the other person's name and get their contact information.
He wanted to be friends with the little rabbit forever.
But he later realized that it was a silent farewell.
The little lamb has grown up, the little lamb has fulfilled its dream, and the little lamb is loved by many, many people.
But the little lamb regretted it countless times: why didn't it ask the little rabbit's name, why did it know nothing about the rabbit except for its school uniform, why did it hesitate, and why didn't it speak up?
But now that he had confirmed the other person's identity, facing someone he hadn't seen in so long, he suddenly didn't know how to start a conversation.
Looking at the person beside him, who exists in the bugged plot and is one of the few whose memories have not been completely erased and who still remembers his existence.
With gentle eyes and a warm smile, he spoke.
"Long time no see, little lamb."
Lu Mingxu was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"Long time no see, little bunny."
"Wen Yanyu."
haven't seen you for a long time.
I finally know your name.
I finally saw you again.
Little Rabbit Brother.
