Chapter Twenty-Three: Light
"Little mushroom head, I'm not dreaming. ”
Cheng Ran opened his eyes in a daze and suddenly saw Li Mengmeng sitting at the head of his bed, he couldn't help but think of the famous goddess Sadako, and hurriedly got up and hugged his pillow.
"Mushroom heads, where are mushroom heads?"
Cheng Ran exclaimed, and it wasn't until he saw clearly that it was Li Mengmeng through the moonlight outside the window that Cheng Ran's hanging heart was put down.
"Why are you so timid, you don't have the courage to be a hero at all!"
Looking at Cheng Ran's obviously frightened appearance, Li Mengmeng suddenly said with some disgust.
"You get up in the middle of the night and see a woman with a disheveled hair in front of your bed, aren't you afraid?"
Cheng Ran looked at Li Mengmeng with a disgusted look and wanted to turn on the bedside lamp.
"No!
"Why can't you turn on the lights?"
Cheng Ran asked Li Mengmeng with a suspicious face, he has the habit of wearing pajamas when he sleeps, and besides, he is a lonely man and a widow in the middle of the night, if Li Junshou and Li Qiuxue see that they and their sister are in a room and don't turn on the light, they don't peel themselves alive.
"I... I... I... This is my house! I said I can't open it, I can't open it!"
Li Mengmeng muttered for a long time and said with some lack of confidence.
Cheng Ran stared at Li Mengmeng's eyes that were still shining in the dark night suspiciously, and gave up the idea of arguing with her girl in the middle of the night, and got into the quilt to wrap herself tightly, so that if someone broke in, she would be able to explain herself.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me in the middle of the night. ”
Leaning on the backrest, Cheng Ran yawned and asked Li Mengmeng.
"Are you really Cheng Ran?"
"Judging from the citizen ID card, I am indeed Cheng Ran. ”
"Why do you say that? Aren't you the star Cheng Ran five years ago?"
Cheng Ran turned his head to look at Li Mengmeng and said extremely seriously.
"Yes, I'm not that idol Cheng Ran, I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who will squat helplessly on the street, an ordinary person who will be tired for money. ”
"But you ......"
"That's in the past. ”
Cheng Ran, who was under the nest, touched a thin scar on his wrist, and when he woke up, this scar was there, but this scar was very light, and there was no blood around when he woke up, Cheng Ran has always taken it seriously, but he very much suspected that this was the main reason for the death of the original owner of this body.
"Then you are the Cheng Ran from before. ”
Li Mengmeng didn't care about Cheng Ran's identity as the star back then, what she mainly cared about was whether Cheng Ran was the star Cheng Ran five years ago.
Cheng Ran nodded helplessly, he felt that it might be that the age of the purchasing agent was too big, and he couldn't communicate with such a small girl at all.
"And do you remember me?"
"You?"
Cheng Ran stared at Li Mengmeng suspiciously.
"Mushrooms... Mushroom Head ...... That's it...... Mushroom heads!"
Li Mengmeng's anxious hands danced on her head and gestured in a circle, trying to help Cheng Ran recall.
Cheng Ran sat on the bed and shook his head, looking at Li Mengmeng in silence.
He suspected that Li Mengmeng and the two might have known each other before, but it was only the kind of one-sided relationship, otherwise Li Mengmeng would not have recognized himself at the door of Carlisle Mansion today.
"But...... I...... Remember you...... And you're really not impressed, aren't you?"
Li Mengmeng asked anxiously, and her voice trembled in the dark.
"I'm sorry. ”
Cheng Ran lowered his head slowly, and said in a low voice, he didn't know how to comfort Li Mengmeng, but if he didn't know him, he didn't know it, he didn't inherit the memory of the original owner of this body, and now Cheng Ran didn't want to have anything to do with the friends of the previous owner.
Li Mengmeng didn't speak, just sat on her small chair and stared at Cheng Ran stunned.
Cheng Ran in the darkness seemed to see some crystal starlight flash from Li Mengmeng's eyes, but he still didn't speak.
He is not a star, an idol, he Cheng Ran is just an ordinary person, if he hadn't met Li Qiuxue by chance, Cheng Ran estimated that he might find a job with a low salary now, and work diligently until the boss gave him a promotion and a raise, or switched to the owner.
As for the identity of that star in the past, it may be forgotten in the corner of the mind by those in the know.
Now Cheng Ran just wants to spend Li Qiuxue's contract period, she can break up with Li Qiuxue peacefully, she honestly lives a luxurious life as her Carlisle president, and she is more likely to nest in the corner of the world, chasing a mortgage and car loan every day.
"I hate you!"
Li Mengmeng's voice was hoarse and she said three words, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, she covered her tears and ran out helplessly.
Cheng Ran in the dark looked at it quietly, he could recognize his position, he might be able to become friends with Li Mengmeng now, but what about in the future?
Li Mengmeng will grow up sooner or later, and she can gradually see the gap between herself and her without Cheng Ran saying it.
The sister of President Carlisle alone is enough to make Cheng Ran out of reach.
And what about him Cheng Ran?
Scold...
Li Qiuxue's money-making tool is just that.
"Whew!"
Cheng Ran sighed heavily, turned on the bedside lamp and prepared to get out of bed and close the door.
"Why are you in my room?"
As soon as Cheng Ran turned on the light, he saw Li Junshou huddled in the corner of the wardrobe.
The dear vice president of Kyoto University was helpless like a child at the moment, huddled in a corner with a baseball bat.
"Hehe, then what Cheng Ran said I just wanted to go to the toilet and entered the wrong room, do you believe it?"
Li Junshou looked at Cheng Ran with an embarrassed but polite smile.
The two men in the room looked at each other in embarrassment.
..................
"Has your sister returned?"
Cheng Ran, Li Qiuxue, and Li Junshou sat at the dining table eating breakfast, and as for Zhang Qiang, he answered a phone call early in the morning and ran out with a lot of things.
Breakfast was made by Li Qiuxue, but at the moment she was facing red eyes. At first glance, it was the kind that didn't sleep all night, and Li Junshou on the side couldn't wait to bury his face in the bowl and didn't dare to look at Cheng Ran.
"Just left this morning. ”
"In such a hurry?"
Cheng Ran took a sip of milk and asked casually.
Li Qiuxue glanced at Cheng Ran and lowered his head to eat breakfast without answering him.
"By the way, tonight Chen Liguo, Professor Chen invites you to participate in the poetry conference held by Kyoto University. ”
Li Junshou, who had been silent on the side, said to Cheng Ran.
"How did I not know?"
Li Qiuxue looked like a housekeeper and asked Li Junshou.
"Uncle Chen, they didn't contact you before, so they asked me to convey it to you, but there were a lot of things yesterday, so I remembered it. ”
Li Junshou glanced at Cheng Ran and explained that he was not talking, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, tidied up his clothes, and went out with his bag without saying a word.
Li Qiuxue frowned and started to call, depending on the situation, it should be Chen Liguo.
"I... Can you not go?"
Cheng Ran looked at the two sisters and said helplessly in his heart, from beginning to end, none of these two guys asked for their opinions.
"I also know the specific situation, you prepare tonight, start the game at seven o'clock in the evening, I will try to come back around five o'clock today and send you over at about six o'clock. ”
Li Qiuxue put down her phone and began to plan for Cheng Ran.
"But ......"
"It's nothing, but are you just thinking about wasting your time at home?"
Li Qiuxue frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Ran seriously.
"You're already too far behind others, and a lot of things are not just based on talent, but also because you need more connections and learning. ”
Looking at Cheng Ran's reluctant look, Li Qiuxue frowned and said extremely seriously.
Cheng Ran forcibly squeezed a smile from his face and agreed.
Li Qiuxue nodded, packed up the dining table and went out to work with her bag.
After making sure that Li Qiuxue was gone, Cheng Ran relaxed, ran upstairs, and began to learn all kinds of knowledge of this world with Zhang Qiang's tablet.
Li Mengmeng's matter made him have a strong sense of oppression, today he met Li Mengmeng, a person who is not very familiar with himself, so what should he do next time he meets someone who is familiar with him?
Cheng Ran doesn't know anything about the original owner's personality preferences, and the only thing he can do now is to make up for the knowledge of this world first, especially poetry, songs, movies, etc., don't crash by himself when the time comes.
All aspects of this world are roughly the same as in previous lives, but there are still many details that are different.
For example, there is a goose factory in this world, but there is no Ah Li Group, Cheng Ran also thought that it may be because of the time gap, which has caused the founder of Ah Li Group, Ma Dapa, to not develop, at least not so well-known.
But no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find such a group and such a person.
There are also many well-known characters in previous lives, whether it is literature or singers, or even some famous movies that this world does not have.
Of course, this does not mean that the entertainment and cultural industry in this world is backward, but because this is the mainstream entertainment pastime, all aspects of this world are no worse than the previous life, and it belongs to the era of a hundred flowers blooming.
...............
"Chen Weina, the document that the president asked me to give you. ”
Chen Weina, who was processing the documents, took the document bag handed to her by the president's secretary with a busy face.
After the secretary of the president left, the colleagues around him were curious to surround them, their departments belong to the auxiliary departments of some important departments of the company, and only when those departments are too busy in the peak season will they have more things.
The salary may be slightly lower than that of other companies, but the job is much easier.
And the intern of such a department was able to receive a mysterious document submitted by the president's secretary in person, and Chen Weina, an ordinary intern in the original department, became the center of the entire department in an instant, and even the department head and department manager came over curiously to ask.
Chen Weina watched that she had become the focus of the entire department because of a document from the president, and she suddenly became a little nervous.
She didn't know if this was a dismissal letter, if it was really the person named and dismissed by the president, she probably would be laughed at by these colleagues for a long time.
"Cortana won't open it and take a look?"
The department head who was originally loud was talking to himself in an extremely gentle tone at this moment.
And the manager, who had been sitting in the exclusive office with a straight face, also smiled and nodded at Chen Weina at this moment.
Chen Weina reluctantly showed a smile and opened the file bag in front of everyone.
Opening the file bag, there were only a few pieces of printing paper in it, Chen Weina took out the A4 paper, and what caught her eye was the lyrics and music score that Chen Weina had seen yesterday.
But when she reached the end, her eyes were slightly distracted.
What caught my eye was Chen Weina's official admission notice, which had Li Qiuxue's autograph and company seal.
And this is also mixed with a small note, which reminds Chen Weina to remember to transfer this notice to the personnel side and let them go through the process, and finally Li Qiuxue gave Chen Weina a very meaningful word.
Humanity is being struck by reality, feeling that everything is meaningless and trying to find light in the dark.
But think about it the other way, if you are constantly being struck, you are constantly being swallowed up by darkness.
Doesn't that mean that you are the light?
Come on, newcomer, Carlisle needs you to cheer up.
