The young man asked very simply, and he was still holding a string of translucent red grapes in his hand, which looked very casual, as if he had just passed by, and saw a strange person or a familiar face, and then stopped and asked.

Lu Beichen looked at this young man with a little familiarity, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it. But for such a friendly inquiry, he naturally would not respond in a daze.

"It's okay, thank you. Lu Beichen replied softly.

"Thank you for what?" the young man picked up a red grape and stuffed two in his mouth, still saying something very casually.

"Nothing. "Lu Beichen originally wanted to say thank you for your inquiry, thank you for still paying attention to me in this huge holy capital city, but he felt that it would be too cheesy and hypocritical to say this to a stranger. For a while, he didn't know how to answer, so he prevaricated with three words.

The young man finished eating the grapes in his hand, and then said seriously, "The young master of the Li family loves to pretend, boy, you can be regarded as helping me out of my breath!"

"It's not polite to talk while eating, and it's not a decent thing to call someone a kid before you know each other. Besides, I don't know who is older and who is young?" After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy who had not yet reached his first birthday, and Lu Beichen couldn't help but think of this.

However, although he felt that it was inappropriate, he did not dislike it, but felt that the young man was a little close, at least more pleasing to the eye than anyone in the Holy Capital.

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Lu Beichen said calmly, "It's just unintentional." ”

"Unintentionally......," the young man said with a smile, "If that Bahu disciple hears you say this, he should be angry, hahaha......"

"Why?"

Because he has always felt that he is invincible in the world, he will be the brightest star in this year's national examination. In fact, in my heart, he is nothing. If it weren't for his father's sake, I wouldn't have let him go everywhere. "I hate those who pretend the most." ”

"The Holy Capital is as strong as a cloud, and the disciples are from famous families. It's normal to pretend, no. Lu Beichen said helplessly. Although he also hated it, in the dozen or so hours he had been in the Holy Capital, he had seen a lot of masks, and he felt that this was a phenomenon, and it was a normal phenomenon.

"Who said ......" The young man turned his gaze to Yuan Chu, and a trace of disdain appeared between his eyebrows, and said, "They are just judging people by realm. There are many people who are in the cultivation realm and cannot reach the bottom, and they have become machines that can only judge wins and lose. I don't want to be like that. ”

"You're special. Lu Beichen said with a smile that this was the first person he praised after coming to the Holy Capital, and the first person who did not look at him with strange eyes.

After the red boy heard the word special, the trace of disdain between his eyebrows instantly melted and turned into joy. He smiled and said, "Boy, have a vision, go, I'll take you to my house, and you'll be my friend from now on." ”

Lu Beichen was a little surprised by this person's enthusiasm and cheerfulness. I remember that when I first went to the academy, Gu Yin and Xiaoyan were so enthusiastic and cute, so that the trembling child who had just entered the academy gradually let down his guard and socialized with others.

If the former childhood classmates warmed up the cold with innocent smiling faces and enthusiastic companionship, then today's red boy is using his freewheeling appearance and straightforward temperament to break a line of defense.

It's just that Lu Beichen heard the awkward words again, and frowned slightly, "Can you not call me a kid?" You are not necessarily older than me. ”

"I'm sixteen years old. What about you?" said the young man, seemingly unconvinced.

"Nearly fifteen years old. Lu Beichen replied slowly, with no change in expression on his face.

"Then you are younger than me, you should call me brother. There was a look of joy in the eyes of the young man.

"The same is not to the weak crown. Lu Beichen said calmly, "I think it's good to call it a name." ”

The young man put away his pride, was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, then what's your name?"

"Lu Beichen. ”

"Lu Beichen?is it the land of the Middle-earth Continent, the Beichen of the North Star Arch?" the red man asked, although there was some joking, but also a little serious.

Lu Beichen was a little surprised, thinking to himself how this person could interpret other people's names so directly, and interpret them so accurately.

The name is indeed taken from the land of the Middle-earth Continent, the North Star of the North Star Arch, and the three words together inevitably seem a little arrogant.

In this vast ocean world, the land is the most precious gift of the universe to life, and in this dark night in the vast sky, the North Star star eternally illuminates people and gives those who are lost the most correct direction, so it is naturally the most important star in the human world for thousands of years.

It's a bit confident to put together two of the most precious things in heaven and earth in one name.

At least on Lu Beichen, who has an ordinary atmosphere and simple clothes, there is some disharmony.

Lu Beichen has always been self-aware, so he naturally knows these truths. But he always thought that no one would interpret a name so seriously, and naturally he would not worry about a situation like today's.

It's really embarrassing.

He seemed to have expected the boy to laugh, to say something, maybe not badly, but at least something.

However, during the years when he was studying in the academy, he followed the master who was as quiet as the moon all day long to read, write, and nourish his heart, and gradually became free of distractions. Therefore, although some such images can be expected, at best, they are embarrassing, but they do not affect the mood.

The young man was silent for a moment, and then said, "This name is the same as mine, and it seems that we are destined." ”

"Huh?"

"My name is Shang Lu. The red boy said.

"Nice to meet you. Lu Beichen said quietly, his tone was very calm.

The young man looked at Lu Beichen blankly, a little surprised. The string of red grapes had already been eaten, but he subconsciously made a gesture of picking red grapes, and then realized that something was wrong.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then fell silent.

A stormy acquaintance that ends in silence without warning?

Lu Beichen felt strange in his heart, and the young man was also a little embarrassed.

But they were all fifteen or sixteen-year-olds.

Lu Beichen crossed two mountains from the distant Sun Moon Mountain, and worked hard to come to the completely different world of the Holy Capital, and he didn't know the temperament of these people. Therefore, he is not good at words, and he is a bit mechanical about communication.

And the young man with red mention, on weekdays, was as crooked as Lu Beichen had just seen, but now he was suddenly silent, and even he himself was a little strange.

He is not used to ending in such a strange way, and is naturally the first character to break the awkward situation. Especially after not even hearing a slight mocking tone, he asked with some curiosity, "Don't you think my name is funny?"

Lu Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then said dumbfoundedly, "What's funny?"

The young man shook his head and said, "It seems that you don't understand medicine. ”

"Where?"

Lu Beichen was still thinking, why is such a special name funny? After hearing the words of the young man Hongti, he was even more puzzled, but after thinking for a while, he instantly understood and said, "You took the name from the medicine, elegant and magnificent. The life of Shang Lu is simple and powerful, easy to call and easy to remember, how good is it?"

The young man was a little angry and a little happy.

What is angry is because Lu Beichen said that this name is easy to call and easy to remember, after all, easy to remember and easy to call, these two labels should be pasted on names such as "A cat", "A dog", "big tree" and "stone".

But the reason why he was happy was because he didn't expect the young man to say that the name was magnificent.

He remembered that when he was a child, how many people complained about the name "Shanglu"?

Shang Lu Shang Lu, as if he was born with root medicine.

Sometimes, he really hates that his father gave him such a name, for fear that others will not know that his family runs a pharmacy.

"You're the first to say my name is atmospheric, boy has vision. The young man smiled and said, "Although it sounds a little fake, it is so fake that I don't believe it myself." ”
