Chapter 8: The Path at Sunset
After cleaning up, Mercer walked out of the men's bathroom, but happened to see a girl with dark red hair, baseball cap, short shirt, and jeans coming out of the women's toilet with a cold face, while Lu Mingfei followed behind dejectedly.
Even if Mercer's sense of existence is low, he will not be found in this kind of place, Lu Mingfei can only smile awkwardly when he sees this person's appearance, and continue to lower his head as a turtle - after all, how can such a thing be said by accidentally entering the women's toilet!
Fortunately, the red-haired girl who looked noble and cold didn't mind, otherwise his reputation would be ruined...... The premise is that Mercer doesn't come to play tricks on him.
"Huh? Nono? I thought you ran to play," Guderian saw the person coming over, and then stood up and introduced to the Lu family members present: "This is a second-year student, Chinese, Chen Motong, and he is also the student examiner this time. That Nuno, this is your new classmate, Lu Mingfei and ...... And what? ”
"And Mercer."
Aki hurriedly came to the rescue, and Guderian snorted embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, Mercer-san, my memory is not good when I'm old."
"No problem."
Mercer replied briefly, then pulled out his chair and sat down in the corner on the edge of the back, his expression unrecognizable.
He had just been tormented by a genetic conflict, even if he was strong-willed and could survive, it didn't mean that he didn't care about this pain, if the emotion could be materialized, then the unhappiness in his heart at this time would definitely fill the entire room.
If he wasn't still at the interview site, he would have considered killing a few unlucky ghosts to vent.
"New classmates."
Nono nodded, then dragged over the plate and sat down next to Mercer, handily forking a salmon roll from Aki's plate. "Well, Mercer, huh? And Lu Mingfei? You two don't seem to have much of an appetite, so why don't you give me breakfast? As he chewed his food, Nono made a muffled sound.
"Please."
Mercer pushed the plate towards her, and Lu Mingfei hurriedly brought the plate over, his little doggy leg watch made Nuno look like a big sister.
"Well, it's very good, junior brother, when you get to the academy, the senior sister will cover you." Nono nodded in satisfaction, made a seemingly unreliable promise, and began to feast.
"Nono, don't bully new classmates......" Guderian had a little headache, this little witch really deserved her name, and snatched someone else's breakfast in the blink of an eye. I know, I know, anyway, looking at them like this is like no appetite to eat......" Nono continued to eat nonchalantly, and Guderian saw that it was not effective, so he simply didn't care.
"Then Lu Mingfei, are you willing to join our academy?"
Going around and around, Guderian still got to the core of the question - this is an S-class student! It has only been one for many years, and over time, you can definitely step on any Caesar Chu Zihang under your feet! It's not even impossible to become a figure like Headmaster Angers! It won't be long before you can appreciate your salary and raise your salary, be rated as a tenured professor, and go to the pinnacle of your life, and now you think about it, it's a little exciting!
"That...... I...... Would like to think about it again......"
=====================
"What? Lu Ming is not him, is that really what he said? ”
Chen Wenwen's mouth opened slightly, looking incredulous. She was still wearing her trademark white dress and walking on the gravel road on the river embankment, which looked a little transparent and beautiful in the sunset.
Lucky to get an admission to such a university, and a high scholarship, normal people would rush to it, not to mention Lu Mingfei, a person who has no ability - but he actually refused, which is a very incredible thing in Chen Wenwen's opinion.
"yes, maybe there's some other reason."
Mercer, who was walking beside her, replied lightly, rarely, he was not wearing that gloomy hooded sweatshirt, but a very ordinary white shirt. "Everyone has their own choices, and they have their own struggles and expectations. Personal attachment is not something that can be understood by simple empathy. ”
After saying that, he also habitually laid out examples. "Isn't that what is written in a lot of novels? For example, if you give up various good opportunities to study abroad for the sake of the person you like, you will stay. ”
"That'...... So what are you going to do? Is it the same as Lu Mingfei? ”
After hearing this, Chen Wenwen was silent for a while, and then seemed to think of something, and only after some entanglement did she muster up the courage to ask this question. I don't know why, but a shy flush slowly crept up on her face.
"Me? Heh......" Mercer smiled and stopped to look at the shy and quiet girl in front of her. His gaze was deep and distant, as black as the depths of the sea, and at a glance, it seemed as if all her thoughts were transparently revealed.
In fact, he would have thought that she would care about Lu Mingfei again - after all, Lu Mingfei's liking for Chen Wenwen is already known to the whole school, but because of Lu Mingfei's personal characteristics, no one cares who he likes. Chen Wenwen usually cares about Lu Mingfei occasionally, but it is probably just because she has a little kindness, and she doesn't want to see this guy so miserable.
Many things are always like this, thinking that their kindness has helped others, but only giving a ray of beautiful light that cannot be touched. Once the light fades, it will plunge the desperate into an even deeper abyss.
"The discussion of the literary club should be literary, right?"
"Huh? Hmmm......"
"There is indeed a plot in the novel that 'gives up all kinds of good opportunities to stay for the sake of the person you like', but the reality is never the same as in the novel. We are all flesh-and-blood people who need to eat, drink, sleep, excrete, money, and the satisfaction of **...... In other words, no matter how realistic it is, it can't be as dreamy as in the novel. Mercer paused, as if pondering what to say next.
"Just like the book you often read, the heroine is just a little girl in a semi-poor white family, and she is surrounded by all kinds of pressures and strife and pain that she cannot understand; The male protagonist is a backward-minded, cowardly and rich Chinese. They ended up parting, plainly apart, and the reasons for parting were as realistic and not beautiful as the reasons they were together. ”
"Maybe it's a bit confusing, but you should probably understand what I mean - besides, the current market is not good, and it's not fashionable to write about those happy endings or something, and everyone loves to write tragedies."
Every time she said a word, Chen Wenwen seemed to tremble, and her little face slowly turned pale, the same color as her skirt; She gradually lowered her head and stopped looking at him.
“…… I know. ”
What the quiet girl was thinking was not hard for Mercer to guess - no, it was so simple that it was not even necessary to prove the truth in a cliché. Long before the world, he Mercer was already a good man, not to mention gaining the mindset of Bondarev's old fox.
It's simple, it's so simple, it's so simple that it's cute. But invisibly, she did cruel things that she had never thought of.
Occasionally, in the still, cold night, Mercer would wonder if his presence was real—would it be a dream? Occasionally, he will also be a little hard to get things done, especially for those who have crossed paths.
That's it, even if she keeps interrupting, she can't let him suffer from it, right? Lu Mingfei...... After getting along for a few years, he also understood that this guy would not improve if he didn't go through something. Besides, Zhao Menghua is also very annoying.
"Don't think too much, it's just going abroad to study." Mercer gently patted Chen Wenwen's lowered head, and the feeling of her silky hair brushing between her fingers was pleasant. "Now that we're about to graduate, the literary club can't just break up without leaving anything. Let's have a party, president. ”
“…… Well, I see. ”
Chen Wenwen replied in a low voice, and then quietly watched the tips of her shoes move forward little by little, and were shrouded in a white skirt.
The path under the sunset is short, but it is actually very long.
