Act Twenty-Six: Youth is the doom of eternal ambition
"Hello, I've been waiting for you!" Lu Mingfei pushed the door in with a big grin, and saw Chu Zihang and Xia Mi sitting opposite each other on the bed, and their expressions were not very good-looking.
"Forehead......" Lu Mingfei scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Am I here at the wrong time?" Why don't I go out for a while now, and then you can talk slowly? ”
"Senior Brother Lu, what are you talking about?" Xia Mi turned her head and changed to a sunny smile, "It's all here, what are you going out for, we're fine." ”
"What's breakfast?" She casually tried to stretch her neck to look at the paper bag in Lu Mingfei's hand, "I'm a little hungry." ”
"Soy milk from the hotel." Lu Mingfei pointed upward, "I went to the rooftop cafeteria to bring it, not to mention that it is quite authentic, I thought I couldn't see these things in the American hotel." ”
"Cut, I'm still fantasizing about what a big meal it is." Xia Mi pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "I'm tired of eating fried dough and soy milk in China." ”
"No, junior sister, what kind of meal do you fantasize about just one breakfast? No matter how big it is, it can't be much bigger, right? Lu Mingfei complained, "And you just came from China, you must feel tired of eating this kind of breakfast." ”
"You'll find out when you get to Kassel." Chu Zihang added.
"What do you mean?" Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, "Isn't the food at Kassel Academy bad?" ”
"It's not bad...... Lu Mingfei walked over and put breakfast on the table, "It's just that our Kassel has German cuisine all year round, either German-style roast pork knuckle or German-style sauerkraut, anyway, I vomited." ”
"Oooh!" Xia Mi suddenly realized, and suddenly screamed again, "Then I still want to keep in shape!" Isn't the plan in vain? ”
"Senior sister, you don't need to maintain your figure......" Lu Mingfei glanced Xia Mi up and down, with a regretful look, "After all...... You know. ”
"What do you mean?" Xia Mi snorted and pounced on Lu Mingfei with her teeth and claws, "Dare to say that I'm flat?" ”
"No, no," Lu Mingfei easily dodged Xia Mi's claws, "How can you say that you are flat junior sister?" In fact, it doesn't matter if it's flat, after all, junior sister, you rely on your vitality and cuteness to win. ”
"Humph! Don't bother with you! ”
Natsumi turned around and opened the breakfast bag, "Eat, eat!" ”
"Speaking of Sister Nono? Didn't she go out with you? Xia Mi naturally tore off half of the fritters and handed them to Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang was stunned and took it.
"Oh, she's changing clothes next door." Lu Mingfei said, "She thinks the clothes are a little dirty." ”
"Sister Nuno didn't bring a change of clothes?" Xia Mi's cheeks were bulging, and she asked while chewing on fritters.
"I'm ashamed...... Lu Mingfei bowed his head silently, "She only has two pieces now, one is the dress I bought for her, and the other is the one she wore when she came." ”
"Senior Brother Lu, you are very unqualified as a boyfriend." Teacher Xia Mi began to impart emotional experience, "When your girlfriend goes out, you must bring her a few more sets of clothes, you know, because girls are a species that loves beauty, and it is uncomfortable not to dress up beautifully all the time." ”
"Got it, my bad." Lu Mingfei nodded extremely honestly.
He fell on his back on the bed and posed in a large font, "There are still a few days before we go back to the academy, what are we going to do next?" I've also been to the amusement park, and I don't feel like there's anything fun anymore. ”
"That's right." Xia Mi tilted her head, "Senior brother, do you know if there are any interesting places around here?" ”
"Do you think I'll know?" Lu Mingfei replied weakly, "The total number of days I've been in Chicago doesn't add up to five days...... And basically stay at the train station. ”
"Let's go to Lake Michigan." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "Didn't you say it at the train station before?" We can just check out Lake Michigan, it's the best time to sail out of the lake, and in two months the friendly game between the college and the University of Chicago will begin. ”
"That's it!" Natsumi suddenly jumped up and raised her hand in support.
"It's really good." Lu Mingfei turned over lazily.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he also jumped up from the bed, "Senior brother! You have to wear a swimsuit to sail out of the lake, right? Right, right? ”
"It should be." Chu Zihang thought slightly, "I haven't participated in a sailing race, and that kind of competition is usually an excellent opportunity for Caesar to be in the limelight. ”
"Swimsuits?" Xia Mi vigilantly clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Lu Mingfei, "Senior brother, what are you doing with your bad idea?" ”
"Who beat you up for your bad idea?" Lu Mingfei snorted disdainfully, "I hit your sister Nuo Nuo's crooked idea!" ”
"Young? Hit me with a crooked idea? Someone said surgingly, "Lu Mingfei, are you powerful now?" ”
"No......" Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look behind him little by little.
Dressed in a familiar suit, a pair of jeans and a tight black T-shirt, Nono leaned against the door frame, silver four-leaf clover pendants wobbly in her ears.
"Senior sister, listen to my quibbles...... No, listen to me! ”
"Forget it," Nuno waved his hand indifferently, "Isn't it just a swimsuit, and there won't be a piece of meat to show your boyfriend." ”
"Then we'll leave after breakfast?" Natsumi asked.
……
……
"Senior brother! Does this look good in me? ”
Xia Mi opened the curtain of the fitting room with a "whoosh" and asked Chu Zihang with burning eyes.
"Hmm...... It's very good-looking......" Chu Zihang only glanced at it and retracted his gaze like an electric shock.
"What? How can you tell if you just look at it? Natsumi walked up and patted him on the shoulder dissatisfied, "Look at it more!" ”
Chu Zihang had to look carefully at the girl in front of him, and Xia Mi put on a posture that he didn't know why to show off to him.
The yellow ruffled swimsuit has a southern tropical style, and it looks sparkling under the lights of the ready-to-wear store, Chu Zihang feels like he is watching a cartoon that he saw by chance when he was a child, as if he is called a beautiful girl of light.
Xia Mi put on a series of postures, looked directly into Chu Zihang's eyes and asked, "What do you think, Senior Brother?" ”
"It's beautiful, it's perfect for you." Chu Zihang made an evaluation that followed his inner thoughts.
"Alas...... It's so casual. Xia Mi didn't hide the disappointment on her face at all, "Sure enough, I still can't expect senior brother to give any surprising boasts." ”
Lu Mingfei shrugged his shoulders and sat on the sofa and lowered his head to play Lianliankan on the iPhone.
"Why don't you rate Natsumi's swimsuit?"
"How is that possible? The tablet doesn't have any appeal to me, I just want to see my sister's swimsuit......"
Lu Ming said bad words in his mouth non-reflexively, and suddenly found that the voice was very familiar, and he raised his head.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei's breathing completely stopped.
Instantly dreamed back to his previous life in the dark and deep water of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, which was the most exciting scene he had ever seen in his life.
Standing in front of him, Nono was wearing a red bikini suit, and his long dark red hair fluttered in the air.
Lu Mingfei remembered that in the class of World Art Appreciation, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" was introduced.
Now he suddenly felt that when Botticelli painted that picture, he must have a beautiful woman in front of him.
The skin is so white and almost transparent, it is as smooth as ivory under the spotlight, the graceful lines of the calves are just right, and the arc that extends up to the waist forms an aesthetic, Nuo Nuo's waist is incredibly thin, although the chest is not very material, Lu Mingfei remembers that there is only B, but compared with Xia Mi, there is still a certain level.
"Senior Brother Lu! I can hear it all! Xia Mi was furious, "Can you stop talking about this!" ”
"Senior sister...... It's so beautiful. Lu Mingfei ignored Xia Mi, he stared at Nuo Nuo.
"Don't be too stupid." Nono rolled her eyes and said disgustedly, "It's not the first time you've seen it. ”
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "How does Senior Sister know that it's not the first time I've watched it?" ”
"Stupid." Nono reached out and tapped him on the head, "I can see what you're thinking." ”
"I haven't looked carefully before, but this time I'm going to take a good look......" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
"Now that you've chosen your swimsuit, let's go right away." Chu Zihang said, "If we have time, we can still catch the sunniest noon." ”
……
……
"Senior brother, I'll just say that I must have brought the wrong equipment!"
On the shores of Lake Michigan, the sunlight shines on the water like a layer of gold, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei are two people, each with a beach chair, a parasol above their heads, and two glasses of cold lemonade on the small table in the middle.
There are also two empty beach chairs next to it.
Lu Mingfei squinted his eyes and looked at Nuo Nuo and Xia Mi who were playing in the water by the lake from afar, picked up the lemonade on the small table and took a sip.
"That's right." Chu Zihang nodded and replied with pedantic professionalism.
"Sister Nono! Look at the moves! Xia Mi gently swiped his hand on the surface of the lake, and countless splashes suddenly splashed and scattered towards Nono's head and face.
"Senior sister is worthy of being the king of the earth and the mountain who has the most accurate grasp of power, tsk, look at these four or two thousand catties." Lu Mingfei secretly smacked his tongue and thought in his heart.
Nono was drenched, and she was not to be outdone, and frantically splashed water at Xia Mi, and the chatter and laughter of the two girls reached the lake.
"Senior brother, what do you think youth is?" Lu Mingfei sucked the lemonade and suddenly asked Chu Zihang.
"......" Chu Zihang was silent for a moment before he asked, "What kind of youth do you refer to?" ”
"That's it...... How so? Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "It's like a group of people getting together, making trouble, it feels very good, let the years go by, time is long ......and so on."
"Anyway, it's a lot of good memories from my teenage years! It's the kind that feels nice to pick it up many, many years later. ”
"If that's what you're talking about." Chu Zihang shook his head, "I should have no youth, just like I don't have a childhood." ”
"It seems to be the same." Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky, "Senior brother, when I didn't know you before, do you know what my deepest impression of you is?" ”
"What is it?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Actually, there are more than one, there are three."
"At that time, you were still the legendary Chu Zihang of Shilan, not the senior brother I know now, when I was a freshman in high school, you were the president of the school's student union, and you always inspected the classes during the morning exercises, only in this way can I be able to meet you a few times at close range."
"Is that an exaggeration?" Chu Zihang was a little speechless.
"Yes!" Lu Mingfei nodded heavily, and then smiled embarrassedly, "To be honest, I didn't like you a little at that time, because every time it rained lightly, we had to insist on doing morning exercises, but you could walk slowly through the corridor of the teaching building in white clothes spotlessly, look down at us condescendingly, and rate our phalanxes one by one." ”
"This is the first one."
"There is also a weekly flag-raising ceremony, no accident, senior brother, you will speak on the rostrum as a student representative, wearing a navy blue school uniform, looking down at the speech, with long forehead hair hanging down to cover your eyes, generally at this link, there will be countless girls who will begin to be."
"This is the second one."
"The most impressive thing is the New Year's Day party, you performed a cello solo, an empty stage, the senior brother appeared on the stage with a piano case in great style, and then sat alone in the center of the stage to finish playing "Schindler's List".
"Damn, do you know how exaggerated? It wasn't until you finished playing a song and put away the violin that we, the teachers and students who were immersed in the mournful sound of the piano, realized, huh? So this guy's show is over? So there was a standing ovation from the audience, and some people shouted for another one, but what about you, senior brother? Bow down and leave us with a slender and chic back. ”
Chu Zihang listened quietly, and it wasn't until Lu Mingfei stopped talking that he asked, "I don't quite understand why you recall this." ”
"I didn't want to express anything, maybe it was just a simple memory." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "I just suddenly felt ...... Is this your youth? Brother? ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Zihang was stunned.
"I don't think it's ...... Uninteresting? Or tired? Lu Mingfei looked up at the blue and clear sky.
Chu Zihang was silent.
"Senior brother, you have always been like this, you are silent, you can quickly judge which path you should take no matter when and where, always let reason fill your thinking, and do not think more about anything that will affect you."
"I have my own insistence and what I have to do." Chu Zihang lowered his eyes.
"Here we go again...... We were next to the beautiful Lake Michigan and the weather was great and the view was great. Lu Mingfei waved his hand helplessly, "Can you come and talk about something that is not so heavy?" Come up and talk to me about your life ideals, senior brother, you think too highly of me, I don't have any goals. ”
"What is your ideal in life?" Chu Zihang asked.
"I......" Lu Mingfei pillowed his head with his hands, "In fact, there are two stages. ”
"The first stage, before I entered Kassel, was that I thought very simply, I wanted to be a janitor."
"When I wrote an essay in elementary school, the title given by the teacher was "My Ideal", and my ideal at that time was indeed to look at the door, so I really wrote it, and the teacher read my essay aloud on the spot, and the whole class laughed at me for almost a semester."
"It's like the old man who cares at the door of my aunt's house, and he also has a small magazine selling on his side business, and he can bask in the sun when he has nothing to do, and he is in a daze when no one comes, and there are beautiful women passing by to watch, how good."
"I'm such a person, I don't have much good, I don't have the ability to do bad things, I live to be eighteen years old, and I don't know where my future lies."
