Chapter 35
After more than two years, Hao Ren looked at the still shining and dazzling gold-lacquered gates, as well as the still lush plane trees, silent.
That's probably what it means to be a person.
He left Hall with the pain of a broken love, and today with his status as the first national sprint champion in the world, he has become Halls's outstanding student representative to attend the graduation ceremony.
But he came back this time for nothing to be honored, just for one person.
When he saw the death of President Ling on the news two years ago, Hao Ren didn't believe it, and he once thought that the President of Ling on the news was not the Ling Si he knew, but someone else. Because the false reports about Lings never stopped, he still remembers that before leaving Halls, there was also fake news about Lings's kidnapping.
Although he used to be in the same class as Ling Si, in the eyes of his peers, Ling Si, who became the president of Ling Si at a young age, was like a god in their hearts. How could the great god be knocked down lightly, not to mention that Ling Si was still so young at that time.
But when he saw Pei Zixu holding the portrait of Ling Si on TV to preside over the funeral, he had to believe that Ling Si had died.
After Ling Si's funeral, according to Ling Si's will, all the inheritance was inherited by Pei Zixu, and at that time, the outside world had already complained about Pei Zixu, who had nothing to do with the Ling family, presiding over the funeral, and after Ling Si's will was announced, the Internet exploded immediately, and there were all kinds of speculations about the relationship between the two and Ling Si's death.
In the last second, netizens could still crown Pei Zixu as a backlight male god, but in the next second, they could wantonly abuse him, and all kinds of humiliation and ridicule in the comments, and some people even suspected that Pei Zixu seduced Ling Si and then killed Ling Si conspiracy theory.
It was only after the news reported that all the property donations that Pei Zixu would receive dropped the negative comments, but there are still many people who say sour things online. The news of Ling Si and Pei Zixu caused a lot of noise on the Internet, and it lasted for a whole year before it subsided.
When he saw the news, Hao Ren wanted to rush to Pei Zixu's side, but after entering the national training camp, he couldn't leave the team at will, he couldn't go home once a year, and he couldn't ask for leave at all for the reason of visiting friends. Later, the longer the time dragged on, the more reason he had to go to Pei Zixu.
Today he will be invited to attend the graduation ceremony, because he heard that Pei Zixu will also speak as an outstanding student representative, so he decided to come, so he wanted to see if he was doing well.
When Hao Ren came to the hall, Pei Zixu was already standing on the stage to make a graduation speech, he was taller than in the past, and his appearance had not changed, which still amazed him at a glance.
Looking at Pei Zixu on the stage, Hao Ren remembered Pei Zixu's freshman speech two years ago, probably the content of which he had forgotten but remembered that the speech was perfect, full of emotion, and talked about goals and ideals in a low tone. It's a pity that only half of the people are listening carefully to Pei Zixu's speech, and the other half are paying attention to Pei Zixu's face.
He belonged to the half who didn't listen carefully to the speech, and when he saw Pei Zixu, he knew that a man could still look like this, and he looked better than a girl!
Pei Zixu's smile today is more cheerful and straightforward than what he saw in the past, and his eyes looked into the distance and showed nostalgia.
But Hao Ren frowned when he looked at Pei Zixu's smile from the bottom of his heart, this smile made him feel unfamiliar. Pei Zixu, whom he knew, was stingy with revealing his emotions to the public, and his smile in front of the public was never distracted, could Ling Si's death still change Pei Zixu's character?
After Pei Zixu's speech, the audience burst into drum-like applause, and after Ling Si's death, Hall was left with only Pei Zixu, a civilian prince. The other students felt that no one could replace Ling Si, so they kept the title of noble prince as a kind of remembrance of Ling Si.
After Ling Si's will was announced, Halls did not cause too many negative rumors about Pei Zixu like the outside world. On the contrary, fans of the two camps of "Si Xu" and "Xu Si" felt that it was proof of their love, and they cared more about Pei Zixu, who lost his partner.
When Hao Ren came to power, he passed by Pei Zixu who came off the stage, and for Pei Zixu, who ignored him, Hao Ren paused slightly, and the sweet taste of cake disappeared.
When Hao Ren was giving a speech on stage, he couldn't find Pei Zixu in the audience, and immediately rushed out to find Pei Zixu after the end of the meeting, regardless of the principal's retention.
rummaged through most of the campus, and finally found Pei Zixu under a plane tree.
With a straight body, a shirt buttoned to the top like a good student, a tie is also well tied, and his body is full of seriousness that he didn't have before, is this really the lazy and scoundrel Pei Zixu from before?
"Pei Zixu"
Pei Zixu thought that Hao Ren was calling himself, turned around and saw Hao Ren, his eyes were slightly stunned, and his tone was uncertain.
"Are you...... Hao Ren? ”
Hao Ren nodded and looked at Pei Zixu seriously.
Pei Zixu had a smile in his eyes and a hearty smile.
Seeing Pei Zixu's smile, the sense of disobedience in Hao Ren's heart surged up again, obviously it was the same appearance, but why did it give him a feeling that was very different from what he remembered.
"Who are you? You are not Pei Zixu. ”
Hao Ren's words surprised Pei Zixu like thunder, and after calming down, he looked at Hao Ren with nostalgia in his eyes.
"You're the second person who can tell the difference between me and him."
Hao Ren couldn't imagine that his feeling was correct, and the person in front of him was indeed not Pei Zixu.
"Is the other one Lings?"
Pei Zixu raised his eyes to look at Hao Ren and nodded.
This person has a beastly intuition, and he can actually recognize that he is not Pei Zixu, and can accurately guess that the other one is Ling Si, is this really the same person as the simple brainless Hao Ren he saw through Pei Zixu?
"Where is the real Pei Zixu?"
"I am the real Pei Zixu, the one you know has returned to his original world."
Looking at Pei Zixu's upright and clear eyes, Hao Ren didn't doubt it much, hesitated in his heart, and still asked about his worries.
"Does he know that Ling Si is dead?"
Pei Zixu's eyes flickered, "I don't know."
"It's okay", hearing this answer, Hao Ren breathed a long sigh of relief.
The dead will leave the pain to the living, and for Pei Zixu, who has returned to his original world, it is better not to know about Ling Si's death.
"Why does Ling Si know that you are not Pei Zixu, and he will leave you the inheritance?"
That inheritance was not left to him, but to Pei Zixu, but Ling Si didn't have that opportunity.
Pei Zixu silently said the answer in his heart, so he knew that those inheritances were left to Pei Zixu, not to him, so he would donate them all.
Facing Hao Ren, who was getting to the bottom of it, Pei Zixu really didn't want to say these words, so as not to lead to more questions.
Regarding the different worlds and abilities involved in Ling Si and Pei Zixu, it can't be measured by the current common sense, if it weren't for the fact that he has been watching what happened from the perspective of a third party, I am afraid that he would not believe it.
He was not angry that Pei Zixu suddenly occupied his body, and even thanked Pei Zixu. At that time, although he knew that his condition was not good, he just couldn't get out of the pain, and gradually lost the ability to communicate with the outside world.
Pei Zixu's sudden appearance made him look at the world from a new perspective, and there are many things in this world that are beyond ordinary people's understanding, which attracted him to go out of his heart and want to continue to explore the existence that others cannot know. That's why he was able to recover from depression so quickly after regaining control of his body.
It's a pity that he never had the opportunity to say thank you to Pei Zixu.
He felt that it was even more pity that Ling Si and Pei Zixu obviously liked each other, but they didn't get together in the end, and even after losing Pei Zixu, Ling Si made such a decisive choice.
If he could, Ling Si would definitely choose to leave with Pei Zixu, after all, Ling Si regarded Pei Zixu as a qiē.
Hao Ren looked at Pei Zixu, who was standing under the emerald green plane tree, his eyes were sad and remembrance, and he felt that he had another melancholy that Pei Zixu did not have, which was pitiful.
