Act 1 The birthday cake is the tombstone of youth
On July 17, 2010, it was a sunny morning and it was very hot. When I woke up in the morning, I heard the cicadas screaming playfully. Lu Mingfei sat in front of his notebook in tank tops and shorts and slippers, humming in his mouth, "Happy birthday to you, Li Ya Ricardo, I wish you a happy birthday, Li Ya Ricardo......"
He patted a mosquito with one hand and scratched his unkempt head, and with the other he typed the web address "www.i-cassell-you.com" into the address box of his browser.
Today is his birthday, the senior sister is estimated to be squatting, Lu Mingfei's birthday just arrived at 0:00 and sent him birthday wishes on time, or the happy birthday song she made up herself, the girl sang softly into the microphone with a funny voice, crossing I don't know how many kilometers, and it reached Lu Mingfei's ears.
Lu Mingfei could imagine the girl's joy and anticipation of you laughing out loud when she recorded this song, she tilted her head, wore headphones, red hair flew in the wind, and sang a self-created birthday song.
When Nuno was talking to him on the phone last night, he said that there must be a birthday present, which was a big surprise and made him mentally prepared.
Every night they would make a phone porridge for a while, Nuo Nuo and Lu Mingfei talked about what she had seen and heard all over the world, where she went today, and Lu Mingfei complained about what bullshit happened to him today, it was really home.
Every now and then, Nono would giggle on the phone.
Nuno and Susie went to travel around the world during the summer vacation, and when they left, they said to Lu Mingfei, "It's right to have a junior brother as a boyfriend, but it doesn't affect me to go out to play during the summer vacation." β
then waved his hand, leaving Lu Mingfei with a dashing back.
Lu Mingfei sighed, Niu'er is still that Niu'er, maverick, she can go wherever she wants, she is not bound by anyone, just like a bird, flying everywhere freely.
It's just that Lu Mingfei still has a little regret in his heart, he hopes that he can spend his birthday with his senior sister.
But in fact, it's nothing, she did everything she promised Lu Mingfei, and she recorded a happy birthday song very seriously, as well as a birthday gift, although she hasn't received it yet, he believes it must be a big surprise.
Lu Mingfei pulled back his boundless thoughts, he clicked on the Kassel daily check-in website, and with the bright overture of Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the website swiped out the landing page.
A 3D composite drawing that looks like a French farmstead, next to the sensational and extremely bad street real estate advertising slogan, "This is the Kassel Midsummer Mansion, located in the suburbs of Chicago, USA, only 120 miles from Lake Michigan pure French vineyards, your dream of sitting on the water villa, is now in the hot booking!" β
Here are two options, "Owner Login", and "Guest Browse".
Lu Mingfei clicked "Owner Login", typed "Ricardo.M.Lu," in the ID box, and then took out a secret card, and typed in the 12 sets of numbers on it according to the prompts, each with 2 digits.
As soon as he hit the enter key, Mendelssohn's beautiful music was instantly pinched, the interface was refreshed at high speed from top to bottom, and the whole was a dark green operation page, countless thin frames with simple lines, buttons that could not be seen at a glance, extremely rigid technology style, and the name of this page was marked in the upper left corner of the browser - "Kassel College Holiday Daily Report Form".
Lu Mingfei took out a crumpled notebook from the drawer, and followed the operation process that Fingal taught him to write down, looking for items on the operation interface, checking and typing them one by one.
According to the developer himself, Finn Gehr, the god of computers, said, "Brother, do you know how awesome this system is? When I was lying on the bed in our dormitory 304, I could remotely control the temperature of the central kitchen oven at the Kassel Academy. β
So he uses this system every time to add a little bit of ingredients to the meals he ordered.
But this thing has not been used by Lu Mingfei for two lifetimes, and every time he checks in, he has the feeling of holding a copy of "Western Table Manners" and changing different knives and forks to knock on the French meal.
"Did you detect an unknown dragon?"
The options are "Awakened Pure-Blood Dragons Detected", "Awakened Half-Blood Dragons Detected", "Unawakened Pure-Blood Dragons Detected", "Unawakened Half-Blood Dragons Detected", "None".
Lu Mingfei ticked the box in the "no" column, the sky is bright and the sky is bright, where are the dragons running around? Oh yes, except for a certain little junior sister who is far away from BJ's right away.
"Do you use the spirit of speech?"
Lu Mingfei ticked the box in the "no" column, and secretly complained in his heart, maybe I will use it in the afternoon, but I won't tell you.
"Is there anything abnormal?"
β¦β¦
No, no, no, no, Lu Mingfei's mouse roamed neatly around the screen.
This is Lu Mingfei's freshman college summer vacation, and he is doing his daily life.
The so-called "daily" is the school rule of the Kassel Academy, every day during the holidays, students must report the status of the day to the North American headquarters online, these will be archived by the college, good records during the departure period will improve the grade point, and must not lie, lying in the daily report, is equivalent to cheating on the exam.
Under the humane system of Kassel, cheating will not lead to expulsion, but will only reduce the class, and the inconvenience caused by the reduction of class will make students embarrassed like beasts in the academy, such as a certain waste wood senior.
"Tight on the outside and loose on the inside", this is Ange's evaluation of the school rules, "Which grandson raised by the son of a bitch made the school rules?" This is Fingal's.
His family is in the German countryside, and the Internet access is not very convenient, and it is said that he has to ride a horse to the town every day to go to the Internet cafΓ© to surf the Internet for daily work.
Lu Mingfei glanced at the URL at the top of the browser again, the URL name of Kassel's daily check-in is "www.i-cassell-you com", which makes Lu Mingfei feel embarrassed every time and wants to cover his face, who designed the URL name, he is so tide that he is about to get rheumatism, it seems to be Fingal? That's fine.
The so-called "i cassell you" is exactly the same as the advertising slogan "i chocolate you" on LG's latest chocolate mobile phone, and the "i" is also a coquettish lowercase that has been very popular recently.
Speaking of the song "I Chololate You", Lu Mingfei also has a stalk, he had a whim one day, pinched his throat and changed "chololate" to "cassell" according to the tone of the Korean girl, and sang a version of it himself and passed it to the "Night Watch Discussion Forum".
It was added by a moderator surnamed Fen, and it set a record of more than 2,000 downloads, and those Kassel executive commissioners who were distributed around the world to perform tasks have crossed the ocean to download and set them as mobile phone ringtones, and even the ace Chu commissioner of the executive department also used this ringtone.
There is also a widely circulated hell joke in the discussion area, "It is said that the last sound that every dragon that dies under the hands of the executive department can hear is "i cassell you" sung by Lu Mingfei, a "S" class genius student in Kassel. β
Because of this incident, Lu Mingfei stayed in the first place of the "Top Ten" in the discussion area for five consecutive days, but he still didn't have the pull of the two dragon kings that day.
"Ming Fei! Don't wake up early in the morning to play with the computer! Why don't you brush your teeth and wash your face! Auntie's voice was extremely penetrating, and Lu Mingfei's head was stunned for a while through the 20cm load-bearing wall, which was really a magic sound.
"Oh oh, it's going to be right now, it's going to be okay." Lu Mingfei said casually.
He hummed the "I Chololate You" bell sung by a Korean girl, pressed the "submit" button, finished his daily routine with ease, and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
While brushing his teeth, his aunt came over to him and said, "Ming Fei, I'll go down and buy me a bag of Cantonese sausages and a handful of shallots later, and go to the reception room to see if there is a new parcel to be sent." β
"Got it." Lu Mingfei nodded honestly.
"Brother, by the way, help me bring me the latest issue of "Novel Painting". The little fat cousin Lu Mingze slumped on the sofa and raised his hand to add.
"Got it, got it, wait until I'm done brushing my teeth." Lu Ming is helpless.
"Bang bang" Someone is slamming on the door outside.
"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, walked to the door and opened the door, "Which one?" β
A girl appeared in his view, propping up her huge sunglasses and tugging at the brim of her baseball cap.
From bottom to top is a pair of white open-toe sandals, a pair of close-fitting jeans and a small black tank top, covered by a white short-sleeved shirt.
Chen Motong was standing at the door with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Division... Division... Masters? Lu Mingfei was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall off, his mouth was wide open, and Chen Motong could even see the toothpaste foam in his mouth.
"Aren't you still playing in Europe?"
"Who said I couldn't come back sooner?" Nuno pouted, "And it's your birthday, junior brother." β
"Who? Soul in the early morning? The aunt rushed out of the kitchen angrily with a spatula, until she saw the girl who was as proud as a knife and as proud as a princess.
"Ah, you are...... Chen, right? The aunt was stunned for a moment, then showed a cautious smile and said, "Are you here to find Ming Fei?" Come in and sit! Come in and sit! β
Then he said to Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei shouldn't hurry up and rinse the toothpaste in your mouth!" I saw how rude it was to Mr. Chen! β
So Lu Mingfei went to the bathroom to make a good fuss.
After eating at the Regent Hotel last year, as soon as he got home, Lu Gucheng said to his aunt with a mysterious expression, "Do you know how much the watch in the hand of that girl named Chen Motong costs?" Omega Constellation Diamond Collection! It's almost 100,000! β
Auntie whispered, "It's so expensive!" Are the students of the Kassel Academy so rich? β
Since then, the couple has had more respect for the Kassel Academy, along with the students who studied there.
"Excuse me, I'm here to find Lu Mingfei." Chen Motong nodded slightly, withdrew the aura around him, walked into the door and found a sofa to sit down.
"Oh, isn't this classmate Chen?" Lu Gucheng walked out of the room with a newspaper on his face, with a kind smile on his face, "Mingfei, this kid is not very careful, and he is usually taken care of by you in the academy." β
"That's, it's usually me who covers him a lot." Chen Motong said casually, "When is it time to eat, I've been on a plane for a day, and I'm a little hungry." β
Uncle and aunt were stunned for a moment, why didn't this girl be polite to them at all, and then reacted again, and said with a smile, "It's good right away, Ming Fei, why don't you go down and buy Cantonese sausages?" β
"Let's go!" Lu Ming ran out of the bathroom with a thud.
"How do you tell Lu Mingfei to go?" Chen Motong said a little strangely, and then pointed at Lu Mingze, who was paralyzed on the sofa, "Isn't he quite idle?" β
"Uh......" Uncle and aunt are a little embarrassed,
"I'll go, classmate Chen will have a cup of tea first, and Ming Ze will pour tea." Fortunately, my uncle's ability to defuse the atmosphere is relatively strong, so he stood up and said with a haha.
"Senior sister, it's okay for me to go......" Lu Mingfei said.
"If you sit down, you will sit down and give me a good look, I haven't seen you for a month, I miss you." Nuo Nuo grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and dragged him to sit down beside him.
"Miss you?" The uncle's squatting at the door to change his shoes froze, the aunt's smiling expression froze, and Lu Mingze, who was standing by the kettle pouring tea, also froze.
"Classmate Chen, you and our family are not ...... In a relationship? Auntie asked tentatively.
"yes, he's my boyfriend and we've been talking about it for a year." Chen Motong didn't care, she took the teacup in the hand of the frozen Lu Mingze and took a sip.
"Talked...... A year? Lu Mingze's jaw was so shocked that he was about to fall to the floor, how could such a superb girl soak his decrepit cousin?
Lu Mingze, eighteen years old this year, self-proclaimed a veteran of flowers, successfully got the admission letter from the University of Austin, which is not only because Lu Mingze did well in the TOEFL test, but also because his application letter was well written.
Lu Mingze applied in the letter to describe his dear cousin Lu Mingfei, who worked hard as a decrepit boy, overcame many difficulties and made the impossible possible, and finally got an admission letter to an American university.
He said that he was inspired by this deed and decided to apply for American universities, "The elder brother who was called 'weighed' by the class teacher and only lowered the average score did not give up, how can I not pursue a broader vision and the best learning environment?" β
The world is really fickle, he was just deliberately chatting with his cousin as if he was chatting about QQ, and he angrily told his admiring sister about applying for cheats, mixed with encouragement and said, "Apply to our University of Austin, we are a famous school, everyone is very friendly, and the professors are very nice", as if the University of Austin is his brother.
He thinks that he is far more reliable than his cousin in the matter of picking up girls, and he has long thought that it will not be easy to find a girlfriend with his figure after going abroad, this school girl is quite cute, her family is enough to send her abroad, and she is a little naΓ―ve, if she really goes to the University of Austin, he is an acquaintance of Senior Brother Lu Mingze...... It's like a copper toad with its mouth around Zhang Heng's geokinetic instrument, swallowing the falling beads in one mouthful.
How do you know that the decrepit cousin Lu Mingfei has just entered school, and he has fallen in love with a hot girl who can throw off the school sister he is flirting with now, whether it is appearance, temperament, figure or financial resources, about the strength of Chen Motong's family, he has also heard a few words in the mouths of his uncle and aunt, what diamond-encrusted omega, and the silver diamond-encrusted pendant on his ear...... And so on and so forth.
If my cousin can really marry this kind of girl, I'm afraid that I won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.
Lu Mingze sat down with a sad face, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what he was worse than his cousin.
