Chapter 57: The Will of the Old Man (3)
[Old Tang, I'm in the United States, when will I see you once?] γ
[Obviously? It's time to the United States...... What did you pass the Cameron University interview? γ
[It's Kassel Academy!] Their admissions teacher saw me like he saw Bao, and he had to ask for me and gave me a full scholarship. It's just that I've been too busy lately, and I've been tossing around in school for a long time and have two internships, so I forgot to tell you. γ
[Great, congratulations.] How much can a full scholarship cost? Is it enough for tuition, I heard that private universities like this in the United States are quite expensive] The news was followed by a curious expression.
γ36000γ
γZimbabwean currency?γ γ
[Dollars! It's enough to treat you to a few good meals. γ
[Really? I thought that with your speaking skills, you could at best rely on shit luck to get past the interview. Why don't I give it a try? Maybe you can get by. A shocked expression followed by a series of exclamation points.
[Let's dream! To be honest, I have a few days off these days, where can I find you? γ
[New York, anytime, anywhere, send me a message two hours in advance on that day, saying which airport, I'll pick you up. I just opened a few new Chinese restaurants in New York, and I really want to try them, so I can borrow your light when the time comes. γ
γNo problemγ
Lu Mingfei repeatedly flipped through the chat records of the two, his face was unconsciously full of smiles, his fingers touched the screen, and a message was sent.
[I departed, JFK Airport, arrived at 3:30 p.m.]
[OK, see you then] The reply to the message on the other side was very fast.
Lu Mingfei put on an eye patch, planning to take this opportunity to take a nap, it takes about two hours to get from Chicago to New York, as long as he takes a nap, he can see his old friend.
"It's nice to be able to go back in time." The boy muttered before he went to sleep.
......
The engine sounded again, accompanied by the sweet voice of a beautiful woman on the radio, Lu Mingfei took off his blindfold, looked at the window on the side, and took a sip.
The white-painted Boeing series airliner slowly landed, passed through the road clouds, landed on the runway with a noisy noise, and with the friction with the asphalt runway, the speed of the rollers slowly decreased, and finally stopped smoothly in the middle.
The boy sorted out his mentality a little, and walked out of the passage with his bag on his back, and the only luggage on his body was the black leather bag, which looked like the backbone of the company on a business trip.
But the purse actually contained only a few 'normal' history books borrowed from the library, a few changes of clothes, and two pens, which was to prepare for Old Don and make himself feel like a good student.
As for some really good things, they were hidden in the hidden pockets built into Lu Mingfei's trench coat, which he had managed to get from the Ministry of Information, and he paid the price for it, agreeing to an exclusive interview with them.
He felt that these things would be extremely helpful to him, so he gritted his teeth and nodded and agreed to the deal of the paparazzi of the Ministry of Information.
Walking into the waiting hall, Lu Mingfei looked around and found his goal at a glance.
The decadent man in a gray jacket and gray trousers, his hair was not only messy but shiny, and even the buttons of his shirt were still open.
I have to say that Lu Mingfei took a few closer looks, and felt more and more that Lao Tang had some of the demeanor of an artist, the only pity was that the rather comic face and a pair of messy eyebrows completely reversed the atmosphere of his whole person, from a prodigal son who went to the end of the world alone with a sword to a circus clown actor.
Even in the huge stage of the airport, where joys and sorrows are staged all the time, Lu Mingfei can recognize him at a glance, because he exudes that incompatible atmosphere.
'Some people are born to be the protagonist, no matter how deep they hide. Lu Mingfei agreed with this sentence for a moment.
Old Tang also noticed that there was a person who had been looking at him, he pretended to glance at it casually, and when he saw that person looked like a social elite, he gave up the idea of 'this is Mingming'.
This can't be helped, the last time I was in the video, it was Lao Tang who helped Lu Mingfei practice speaking, and it was Lu Mingfei who was still in the form of a declining boy, and now he has become Chairman Lu, and the two are naturally completely different, especially in temperament.
How could that boy with messy hair as himself, shrugged his head, and listless with dark circles under his eyes all day long become like this in just over a month?
Old Tang didn't believe it, so he didn't think much about it, took out his mobile phone, and sent a note to the 'big-headed bear' [I'm here, where are you?] I don't think the plane was delayed. γ
The message on the other side came over in an instant, as if Lu Mingfei knew when he would send a message and what message he would send.
[See me?] Old Tang looked around and saw that the 'elite' was still looking at him, and he sighed in his heart.
"I'm looking at you. γ
Seeing the new news, Old Tang walked over as if he had plucked up courage, and said tentatively to the smiling boy:
"Mingming?"
"Old Tang, I've been watching you for a long time."
"Damn, what." Old Tang, who was already quite nervous and ready to make a fool of himself, breathed a big sigh of relief, patted the boy on the back, and sighed: "Why did you suddenly change so much?" To be honest, I didn't even recognize you. β
"I'm eighteen years old, people have to change a little." Lu Mingfei smiled.
"You didn't take your luggage?" Old Tang looked around Lu Mingfei and was a little surprised to see that he only had a backpack on him.
"I just brought a few books and a few clothes, so I don't think it's necessary. With you as a tour guide, what other problems can there be? β
"That's right." Old Tang didn't dwell on this issue for too long, and pulled Lu Mingfei onto his gray second-hand Chevrolet.
Chevrolet has always been the favorite of this kind of adventurer with a net worth, the car is spacious, the appearance is also good, it can meet the full needs at the same time, the price is not expensive, and a second-hand car in China can be less than tens of thousands of yuan.
To Lu Ming's surprise, obviously the body looks quite old from the outside, but the space inside the car is still quite neat, although there is no arrangement of Xiaoice box small color TV, but there are no empty bottles and food bags thrown on it at will, the whole car can highlight a word, empty, empty to the same as he and Old Tang just picked up a new car from the car shop.
But it doesn't look like he just came out of the car shop, Lu Mingfei wiped the gap next to him with his index finger, and his hands were immediately stained with a thin layer of dust, there is not much dust, it should be because he hasn't cleaned up in the past few weeks.
"Don, do you love cleanliness?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Old Tang's greasy hair, considered the language and asked, "The inside of the car is too clean, I remember that you shouldn't have a girlfriend, except for the snail girl, no one should help you clean it." β
"Don't look like I'm sloppy now, I've always been very clean." Old Tang looked serious, patting his chest while hitting the steering wheel: "It's just that there has been something special in the past few weeks." β
"Special circumstances?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the man next to him, and gasped a few times after noticing the heavy dark circles under his head: "What are you doing?" I didn't sleep for three days, stayed up late to play games, and I didn't look like you. β
"I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a month, squinting for an average of a few hours a day, and I can't sleep again once I'm a little clear."
"What, what's on your mind?" Lu Mingfei quipped: "Is it a girl who thinks about it?" β
"It's Chao Si Du Wang, but Chao Si Du is not thinking about a girl, it's a little boy." Old Tang sighed: "Whoever I talk to about this matter, everyone tells me that it is just a simple psychological effect." Maybe only you can trust me. β
"What's the matter?" Lu Mingfei swallowed the urge to complain about the title 'Mingming'.
"I'm entangled in something unclean." Old Tang raised his head, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
"Something unclean?" Lu Mingfei frowned.
"Find a place to talk while eating." The man let out a long sigh.
......
The gray Chevrolet eventually stopped at the door of a Chinese restaurant in an alley.
There are several 'famous Chinese dishes' on the glass table, which are actually Chinese home cooking, such as mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin and braised pork, which can make the Chinese who are displaced a little taste of some hometown signature dishes, the main food is two large plates of dumplings stuffed with leeks and shrimp, Lao Tang uses vinegar, Lu Mingfei uses soy sauce, the two hold wine glasses, and touch each other.
"What did you study at Cameron University?" Old Tang's cheeks were drunk, and this was the first thing they said after ordering.
"Mechanical engineering, and also, the Kassel Academy, not the Cameron University." Lu Mingfei was drinking, and the amount of alcohol far exceeding that of ordinary people made him still calm.
"Whew, how's the mentor? I have heard that the most important thing in college is the tutor, and if the tutor is good, the student will be happy, and if the tutor is not good, the student will suffer. Old Tang answered twice and continued to ask.
"Mentor...... It's okay, his status in our school is quite high, and the most important thing is that he only has two students under him, so he can take care of us well. β
"That's good." Old Tang nodded with satisfaction.
"But, what's the matter with that dirty thing you said, Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei was a little worried, it was from the bottom of his heart, and he could see that Old Tang's current mental state was quite wrong.
If it were a normal person, Lu Mingfei might not ask anything, after all, it was someone's private matter, and if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it. But this is Old Tang, Norton's current parasite, Lu Mingfei is afraid that Old Tang's humanity will be suppressed by Norton by accident, so he will become the king of bronze and fire and destroy Brooklyn.
"I know, it's been organizing the language." Old Tang put down his wine glass heavily, and the wheat yellow beer liquid stirred wildly in the glass, and it didn't calm down for a long time.
Just like the man's state of mind at this time.
After fully sorting out his thoughts, Old Tang spoke:
"Obviously, do you believe that there is reincarnation in this world?"
"Before we discuss whether there is reincarnation, can you change the name Ming Ming first, it feels like you are calling your own child's nickname, and we are not a few years apart." Lu Mingfei didn't hold back in the end, and pretended to be a little depressed: "Just call me Xiao Ming." β
"Okay, Xiao Ming." The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and realized that this was Lu Mingfei deliberately adjusting the atmosphere and smiled: "It's not a heavy topic, I just want to ask you, do you believe that there is reincarnation in this world." β
"To be honest, I was a staunch materialist and didn't believe in any of this. But after going through a lot of things, I'm also a little skeptical. Lu Mingfei answered this question seriously.
The man pursed his lips, as if organizing the next sentence.
Looking at the silent old Tang, Lu Mingfei suddenly reacted: "You mean, you are entangled in reincarnation?" β
Don's reincarnation, isn't that Norton? So, Norton is waking up?
Through the shirt, Lu Mingfei secretly held the pendant on his chest.
If Norton wakes up now, he can drive Norton's soul out and really save Don.
"No, it's not that I'm entangled in my reincarnation." Old Tang shook his head.
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was entangled by characters related to my reincarnation." The man took a sip of his wine glass: "It was a small little boy, who called me 'brother, brother' every day, and I can't remember when I had such a brother, but my consciousness told me that he was my brother."
So I think maybe it's my reincarnation that is his brother, and he's now mistaken me.
You say, if he wants to know that I am not his brother, will he kill me? β
That's worse than that...... Lu Ming is not slandered, he has understood all these things, probably the sleeping Konstantin found Norton through his consciousness and wanted to wake him up, but at this time Norton's consciousness was also in a coma, so Old Tang was implicated and listened to his brother's voice every day.
"Did he say anything strange?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"Some time ago, someone came to our house...... What else...... I don't remember exactly, anyway, after that, it changed to 'Brother, where are you, I'm looking for you', and 'Brother, let's not separate again this time', this seems to be a brother's control, but I think he's obviously a boy. Old Tang rubbed his head: "Alas, it's really blood mold, I haven't taken over the task for a long time, just because of this matter." β
The man didn't get a response, raised his head, and looked at Lu Mingfei opposite, but was surprised to find that the latter's expression was a little unnatural, and the hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.
"Didn't it scare you?" Old Tang felt a little guilty, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for the two of them: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, eat quickly, take a photo after eating, and send it to our interstellar group." This is an epic meeting between Channel 1 and Channel 2. β
Lu Mingfei nodded dumbly, holding the vegetables with the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

A headshot quickly circulated in the interstellar group, with the caption 'Meeting of the Great and Small Kings'.
It was a photo of a man and a boy, both with smiles on their faces, the man's smile looked a little tired, and the boy's smile looked a little bitter.
