Chapter 1: Back to the Age of Eighteen (1)
"Hey, brother, did you know that the war is about to start."
The boy on the cross opened his eyes, and a tidal wave of sorrow rushed over his face, and the waves were so turbulent that it seemed to swallow the whole world.
"As it stands, you and I will either die or be turned into their weapons."
A fire ignited the mercury vapor in the underground palace from nowhere, making a bang, and a rumbling sound could be heard in the snowfield, the sound of a tank's tracks running at high speed, crushing through the moss.
The war in the Arctic has begun.
"Still, brother, you have one last chance."
"I'll do everything I can to send you back to the year you were eighteen."
"Hopefully, this time, you'll find the answer you deserve."
"Good luck, brother."
The next moment, Lu Mingze's eyes burst out of lava-like gold, he broke free of the cross, and slowly rose into the air, all around him, the elements fled as if they had gone crazy.
Lu Mingfei got up from his wheelchair with difficulty and stretched out his hand to the god in the air, who smiled back and clasped his hands tightly.
The cold wind is like a blade, destroying everything around it, whether it is people or buildings, as if it has been weathered for thousands of years, and gradually turned into powder.
The sound of cannons, gunshots, wails, and the barking of Cerberus mixed together, and gradually weakened in Lu Mingfei's ears.
At the moment when he was about to fall into a coma, the world suddenly became clear, and someone slowly leaned into Lu Mingfei's ear and whispered:
"Brother, this time, I'll bet you to win."
β¦β¦
"Hmm"
Lu Mingfei bounced up from the back of his chair, gasping for air, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip down his cheeks.
He squinted his eyes and looked around vigilantly, and in front of him, a large screen covering the entire wall caught his eye, and the image above ...... It looks a little familiar.
This seems to be the movie he watched at the reunion of the Literature Department back then, when Lu Mingfei fell asleep after watching it for a while, and in his own words, he 'chose a movie that couldn't be worse'.
When his line of sight gradually became clear, Lu Mingfei finally saw clearly the environment he was in, it was a movie theater, and the figure in front of him looked a little familiar, as if it was ......
Chen Wenwen?
There are cinemas in the Arctic, which is still within the acceptable range, but how can there be Chen Wenwen in the Arctic?
"What's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?"
Lu Mingfei looked at the voice and saw a face that couldn't be more familiar.
"Su Xiaoqiang, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? I can't come to the literary club party, right? The girl with the high ponytail said angrily: "Lu Mingfei, you shouldn't have any serious illness, right?" β
"Literary Club Gathering ......" Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of the 'dream' just now, and hurriedly stretched his hand into his pocket, and sure enough, there was a pure black N96 mobile phone in it.
Turning on the screen, Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a few seconds.
The calendar shows July 2009, when I had just graduated from Shilan High School and was ready to enter the Kassel Academy.
Lu Mingfei slapped himself hard, and the hot pain directly surged into his brain, burning his nerves.
"It's not a dream?"
"Lu Mingfei, your brain is burned out, why did you become like this after waking up." Su Xiaoqiang saw Lu Mingfei's strange behavior, looked disgusted, and hurriedly changed her seat to the side.
"I see."
Lu Mingfei smiled, ignoring the strange gaze from the girl next to him, and sat down on the chair.
He finally understood what was going on, it wasn't a dream, he was supposed to be underground in the North Pole, but the little devil used his abilities to make him go back in time.
"Brother, this time I'll bet you to win."
Lu Mingze's farewell words echoed in his mind, the corners of the boy's eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head, and completely lost the demeanor he had tempered when he was the student president, like a dead child that no one wanted, curled up, exuding a sad aura all over his body, silent, and spreading.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Su Xiaoqiang, who continued to watch the movie without Yaxing on the side, raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and wanted to have a seizure, but finally asked softly: "I see that you have some ...... Wrong. β
"I just dreamed that someone who had been with me for a long time was gone."
"Let's go...... Finish? Su Xiaoqiang misunderstood what Lu Mingfei meant, stared at the boy for a long time, and comforted in a low voice: "It's not so uncomfortable, it's just a dream, people are still alive and well in life." β
"It turns out that Su Xiaoqiang, you will also comfort others, I always thought you would be the peacock high above, it seems that I misunderstood you." After laughing twice, Lu Mingfei sat up straight, tore up the dead note in his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
That's what he was going to say when he confessed, and it was probably something like 'When I was confused, it was you who appeared to save me and pull me into the literary club' Yunyun, now that I think about it, it's really funny.
All Chen Wenwen did was push him into the endless abyss, and what really saved him from the abyss was the red-haired shrine maiden with four-leaf clover earrings, who really picked him out of the valley.
Su Xiaoqiang watched Lu Mingfei's every move, and was even more confused, this guy had been staring at the note at the beginning of the movie, as if it was something important, and he was still clutching it when he fell asleep.
But after waking up, Lu Mingfei seemed to have changed as a person, first sad for a while, and then regained his spirits and then revealed a completely different atmosphere, those eyes were as deep as having experienced countless bloody storms, which made people subconsciously afraid at a glance.
"Are you really Lu Mingfei?" A sentence suddenly popped out of Su Xiaoqiang's mouth.
"Of course I am." The boy smiled and pinched his face: "The only person in the world who looks like this can only be Lu Mingfei, like a fake." β
Hearing the familiar white rotten words, Su Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Lu Mingfei has not been taken away.
"However, I don't really look like me now." Lu Mingfei looked at the crumpled suit on his body, sighed, picked up the paper bag on the side and got up.
"You want to change out of your suit? Isn't this what the Literary Society uses to speak? β
"With Zhao Menghua's temperament, can you let me go up and speak, and let Xu Miaomiao and Xu Yanyan go up and speak?" Lu Mingfei smiled helplessly and pointed to the two little fat men in front of him who were tightened by suits.
"That's ......," Su Xiaoqiang frowned.
"Guess for yourself, little goddess." Lu Ming didn't look back, and walked straight to the bathroom.
β¦β¦
"I didn't expect that I would actually come back."
Lu Mingfei looked at himself in the mirror who was thin like a reed stalk, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke.
The beard is unkempt, the hair is messy, and the original neat suit is also unkempt, and he didn't run, which is definitely what he looked like when he graduated from high school.
A strange feeling came to Lu Mingfei's heart, he couldn't tell whether it was sour or sweet, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted to cry or laugh.
This was when he was at his most depressed, and everyone looked down on him, like seeing a tattered ball on the side of the road, and wanted to kick it twice. At home, it is also like a miscellaneous existence, and everyone can give orders to their uncle and aunt Lu Mingze, but after experiencing those things, this is the best time for Lu Mingfei.
Chu Zihang has not been forgotten, Caesar will not hunt down his fiancΓ©e, Xia Mi, who has little tiger teeth, is attending a preparatory class carefree, Lao Tang should occasionally work on the hunter website, Yuan Zhisheng is still the underworld master who wants to be a friend of justice, Ruri Kazama is singing "Yang Guifei" everywhere, and Eri should still be preparing her family plan.
How good it would be if the story went on like this, Lu Mingfei often fantasized that all tragedies would not happen, and the end of the story was a happy ending, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be happy.
It's a pity that things always backfire, and Lu Mingfei often imagines from time to time what the ending would have been if he had done that at that time.
Now, the little devil has done his best to send himself back to the age of eighteen, and he has a chance to do it again, how can he not take advantage of it?
Seeing that the boy's eyes in the mirror once again emitted a light that he hadn't seen for a long time, Lu Mingfei laughed.
He took off Zhao Menghua's custom-made suit, changed into the cheap white sportswear he bought at the stall, and smoothed his hair with some water on his hands to make himself look more neat.
Next, he is going to attend a confession ceremony for his high school classmates, which is also a funeral.
A funeral to say goodbye to the cowardly and hesitant self.
This time, he secretly made up his mind that he would not leave any regrets.
β¦β¦
Pushing open the door of the bathroom, Lu Mingfei saw Zhao Menghua, who was wearing a special close-fitting suit, sitting in the first row and talking to a group of younger brothers.
The latter saw Lu Mingfei's appearance when he came out, and frowned: "What about the suit that you will use later?" β
"I'm too lazy to wear it, so I'll throw it on the bathroom table for you." Lu Mingfei smiled and looked directly at Zhao Menghua, who swallowed and spitted at the mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He wanted to say something cruel, and let the decrepit boy put on his clothes, but when he saw that look, his lips moved, and his mind went blank.
Zhao Menghua had never seen that kind of look, it was obviously on a smiling face, but it was deep like a devil hidden in the depths of hell, which would pour out and devour itself anytime and anywhere.
"Literary clubs wear it, but you don't wear it, why are you so maverick?" Some of the younger brothers have already begun to stand up for the boss.
"yes, if you don't wear it, how can you go up and give a speech." Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually heating up, someone hurriedly said.
Looking at the red-faced and white-faced people in front of him, Lu Mingfei laughed twice, although he was not afraid of the other party's large number of people, after experiencing the principal's inhumane special training, Lu Mingfei firmly believed that even if he threw himself on the battlefield, he would be a monster-like existence, not to mention that the opponent was this group of ordinary people.
But Lu Mingfei didn't want to quarrel with them, and he didn't want to break things up with them, after all, they were all classmates, and they would meet again in the future.
Moreover, Chen Wenwen is also one of the few friends she had in high school, and now that she wants to reap love, she should also applaud and congratulate her, as for Zhao Menghua's calculation of herself......
In the future, there will be opportunities, and a year later, in BJ's Nibelungen, Lu Mingfei will have a chance to clean him up.
Therefore, today is really not the time for him to turn his face with them, Lu Mingfei sneered, turned his head and walked towards the last row.
As for what they, including Chen Wenwen, think of themselves in their hearts and how much they hate themselves, it is not a place where he can intervene, the broken mirror cannot be reunited, and the water is difficult to recover, Lu Mingfei has always believed that if a friendship is about to fall apart in the end, it will definitely not be able to be redeemed by unilateral efforts.
It must have been the numerous gaps in the middle of the road that made the two think that this friendship could not go on any longer.
In that case, what is the use of unrequited love?
Lu Mingfei sighed, sat down in his original position, and saw a bottle of Coke handed over.
"Thank you"
He didn't twist his head, took the Coke in one hand, tore open the pull-up ring and took a sip.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Su Xiaoqiang whispered, she originally thought that it was quite ridiculous to ask Lu Mingfei for advice, but after seeing the scene where everyone looked in a hurry and only she was excluded, she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked.
Moreover, it seemed that Lu Mingfei, like herself, was also excluded, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt a strange sense of belonging with Lu Mingfei.
"I really want to know?"
"Don't sell it." Su Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back her temper and pouted.
"Why don't you just look ahead?" Lu Mingfei took another sip of Coke: "The movie is over, what they want to do should also start." β
As soon as the words fell, several headlights in front of the screen lit up together and hit Zhao Menghua on the makeshift platform.
He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and behind him was 'Chen Wenwen, I love you', and the little brothers were like groomsmen standing behind him and did not dare to move.
Zhao Menghua on the stage said his confession to Chen Wenwen as he remembered, he said so firmly and confidently, his eyes flashed with the simple thoughts of boys to girls in his youth, Lu Mingfei had to admit that the current Zhao Menghua really likes Chen Wenwen, and the latter is the same, the two are in love with each other, at this age where they don't have to think about anything, there is no reason not to be together.
On the contrary, I was at that time, I always wanted to eat swan meat like a toad, and finally became a defeated dog.
Defeated Dog ...... Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei then remembered to take care of Su Xiaoqiang, who had been silent beside him for a long time.
"It's okay." Lu Mingfei took out the tissue he had just pulled from his pocket: "If you want to cry, cry if you want to, it will be easier to cry, and no one here will laugh at you." β
"Why am I crying?" Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoqiang just snorted with a gloomy face: "He Zhao Menghua loves to confess to who and who to confess." β
"But the whole school knows that you like Zhao Menghuaye." Lu Mingfei added faintly.
"Shut up." Su Xiaoqiang glared at Lu Mingfei and slammed his fist on his back: "This should have been said by me, why didn't you cry?" Don't you like Wenwen Chen? β
"Like to like, cry to cry, there is no need to connect the two, just like a mule and a donkey can grind, but you can't say that they are the same species." Lu Mingfei stammered, and tried his best to reason with the most simple metaphor to Su Xiaoqiang: "If what you like is taken away, you won't necessarily cry, but you will be happy." β
"Happy? Why? β
"Because I knew that she would be unhappy around her, and now she will be happy." Lu Mingfei smiled, thinking of the senior sister who took him to the end of the world.
Now that he had walked through the North Pole, he had figured out that if he liked Nono, he should let her stay in her happy place, such as Caesar's side, and it would be enough to have her own on the journey to the North Pole.
"You do have a point." Su Xiaoqiang's eyes turned red: "But I'm still not happy." β
"Looks like you haven't grown up yet, little goddess."
"What do you mean?"
"Only by learning to deceive oneself can one truly grow up." Lu Mingfei laughed twice, looked at his watch, and walked towards the door.
"Why are you going?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her head.
"It's time for me to go, something." Lu Mingfei's footsteps are still the same.
"What's the matter?"
"Go see Senior Sister." Lu Mingfei slowly pushed open the door of the screening hall, cautiously looking like he was opening a portal to a new world.
At the doorway, a panting red-haired girl stared at him, and behind her was a red Ferrari that was as bright as flames.
