354. Chapter 350 New Chapter 0324 Cockroach Octopus Tentacle Demon
"Hey, girls, as a harmonious and loving bystander, I have no intention of getting involved in the war between you, but is there any practical significance in your strategy of killing a thousand enemies and losing a thousand to yourself? Do you plan to die together?"
Li Mengnan dug his ears. The noise just now shocked him quite a bit. The sound is still a little distorted now, and it feels like an old-fashioned tape player that has run out of power.
The two women snorted in dissatisfaction with each other. Although Li Mengnan's intervention made them feel that he was meddling in their own business, they had to admit that Li Mengnan had a certain truth.
Their ultimate goal is to defeat each other, not to perish together in frustration.
Seeing that both parties agreed with his statement, Li Mengnan simply struck while the iron was hot and suggested with "kindness": "Aren't you just competing for the right to use this large classroom? This matter was not complicated from the beginning. It can be borrowed from the ancients."
Use your wisdom to solve it..."
"The wisdom of the ancients?" The seven girls on both sides of the fight felt puzzled at the same time.
"Draw lots!" Li Mengnan held up two small pieces of paper with a serious look on his face.
"..."
The girl named Xiong Li suddenly seemed to realize something. She looked up and down at Li Mengnan with disdain and sneered: "You just draw lots when you say draw lots? How do I know if you will do anything?"
Although she didn't know the relationship between Li Mengnan and Minnie Xu Xian, what they brought was a solid fact. Therefore, there was no guarantee that a seemingly fair and just proposal would not be played into something fishy.
Aren't you saying that you have big breasts and no brains? This is not allowed...
Li Mengnan didn't expect that this girl was quite vigilant, and she actually didn't fall for it at all. She shrugged and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't draw lots, then let's change the method..."
As soon as he entered the classroom, Li Mengnan noticed a dusty lottery box placed in the corner of the wall. It seemed to be left behind from some previous activities, so he got up and moved it to a chair in the center of the classroom.
"Why are you moving this thing? It's so dirty!"
Girls all love to be clean. Seeing that the lottery box was dusty and covered with cobwebs, several girls took a few steps back at the same time and fanned their little hands to disperse the dust.
"Of course it's a lottery! Since you think I might tamper with the paper signs I made, let's just use the ready-made ones."
Li Mengnan's words were obviously meant for Xiong Li, but the other party remained silent this time, probably in agreement.
After confirming that both parties had no objections, Li Mengnan found a rag to wipe off the dust on the surface of the lottery box and said: "I just read the instructions. There are a total of thirty table tennis balls in this lottery box, one for the first prize and two for the second prize.
, three third prizes, and the remaining twenty-four blank balls are consolation prizes.
How about each of you elect a representative and take turns touching the ball in the box. Whoever touches the first-prize ball first wins and has the sole right to use this large classroom before the New Year's Eve party."
There was absolutely nothing wrong with these words literally, and the lottery box had been placed there a long time ago, so there was no way it could be tampered with. Xiong Li and the others agreed to draw lots to decide the winner after a short exchange.
On the contrary, Minnie noticed that there seemed to be something fishy here. Based on her understanding of Li Mengnan, Li Mengnan had always been very protective of his shortcomings. If he didn't take the initiative to help, it would be fine. There was no way he would act like a referee to mediate between her and Xiong.
Beautiful contradiction.
"Li Mengnan..."
Just as Minnie was about to speak, she was interrupted by Li Mengnan with a hidden look and a meaningful evil smile at her.
Sure enough, this guy is scheming again...
Minnie was speechless for a moment, but then she felt a sense of security that she was being protected, and the look in her eyes when she looked back at Li Mengnan became a little more tender and charming that only the two of them could understand.
The girls on the other side have always followed Xiong Li's lead, so naturally the representative of the lot fell on Xiong Li's head. She rolled up her cuffs, revealing a section of her white and tender arms, and stretched them into the place above the prize box.
A hole the size of a bowl, close your eyes and stir back and forth in it.
The table tennis balls clattered in the carton, and several girls dancing together clasped their hands and prayed secretly.
However, they also knew very well that the one-in-thirty chance was not that easy to encounter.
Suddenly, Xiong Li's face suddenly changed, she retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted, and screamed: "There... there is something in this! It's furry, with lots of legs! It looks like a big spider!"
"Ah——! Spider?! How can there be a spider!"
Girls have a natural fear of multi-legged creatures, such as cockroaches, octopuses, tentacle demons... Okay, please ignore the strange things that sneaked in at the end. In short, several girls immediately stepped back in horror after hearing this.
The pale face looked as if what was in the cardboard box was not a spider, but a ferocious prehistoric monster.
The environment of the shanty town where Minnie lived was relatively "original", and various insects and small animals were common, so the reaction was not as violent as the other girls. She was slightly surprised and accompanied by deep doubts, and subconsciously looked towards
Li Mengnan on the side.
When she saw Li Mengnan's nonchalant look, she suddenly understood something vaguely in her heart. A confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She stepped forward and said coldly: "Xiong Li, are you still smoking? If you don't smoke,
, even if you give up this round!"
"I...of course..." Xiong Li had not yet recovered from her fear of spiders. Her face was pale and she was muttering in a low voice. In the end, she could not say the word "smoke".
Several other girls who were backup dancers quit and immediately supported Xiong Li, saying, "Don't stand and talk without hurting your back! There are spiders in the box. If you can, pick one out and show it to us!"
"Hmph! A spider scares you like this? Trash!" Minnie sneered, rolled up her sleeves and put her arms into the lottery box, stirred it a few times, grabbed a table tennis ball and threw it to Xiong Li and the others.
, "I didn't win, keep coming, it's your turn!"
Seeing that Minnie was pumping so easily, several of the backup dancers hesitated. Could it be that the spider just now was just Xiong Li's illusion? Guesses are guesses. The girls looked at me and I looked at you. No one had the courage to touch their bare arms.
Reaching into the dark hole of the cardboard box.
"Forget it, I'll do it..."
Under Minnie's contemptuous eyes, Xiong Li gritted her teeth and stepped forward, biting the bullet and reaching into the carton again.
This time she didn't stir. She quickly planned to grab a ball and leave. However, as soon as she reached down, she caught a furry object covered with feet. She immediately screamed and threw the carton a few meters away, curling up.
Squatting on the ground and crying loudly.
The lead dancer was so frightened that she had a nervous breakdown. There was no practical significance in fighting for this classroom anymore. Several girls who were backup dancers lifted up Xiong Li on the ground and went straight to the infirmary. They even forgot to take the music player with dance music.
"Minnie, you are so brave."
Xu Xian looked at Minnie repeatedly as if he wanted to get to know each other again.
Not to mention girls, even among boys, you may not be able to find a few people who dare to catch spiders with their bare hands.
"It's not that I'm brave, but there are no spiders here at all...right?" Minnie's last question was to Li Mengnan.
Li Mengnan shrugged noncommittally and smiled. He grabbed the edge of the circular hole on the lottery box with both hands and tore open the small cardboard box with a little force.
The white ping pong balls fell like broken beads, bouncing all over the ground like a group of naughty rabbits. Dust was flying under the bright light, but no living creatures could be seen.
"Huh? There really aren't any spiders? Then what happened to Xiong Li just now... Wait, I remembered! You were the boy who performed magic at the welcome party!"
Xu Xian had felt that Li Mengnan looked familiar before, but now he suddenly remembered that this was not the performer of the "Mirror Soul" magic that had been uploaded on the campus forum a few months ago!
"You have a good memory."
Li Mengnan smiled. He had also seen the magic video on the campus forum. The filming effect was very average. In addition, due to the angle of the stage lighting, it was difficult to see his face clearly. Xu Xianneng only recognized him from a blurry video.
With his identity, it seems that he has paid a lot of attention to him.
"I really didn't know you knew Minnie... Great Magician, I'm your fan, sign it for me!" Recognizing Li Mengnan's identity, this handsome girl became lively.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I still have fans... Okay, where can I sign it? Can I sign it on my chest?" Li Mengnan said with a smile.
Xu Xian couldn't help but blush. She pretended to be nervous and covered her chest with her hands. She wrinkled her nose and snorted softly. She asked Minnie for help: "Minnie, do you still care? This guy is dishonest and actually wants to molest me!"
Minnie spread her hands, showing that she was powerless, pointing at Xu Xian's chest and said: "You said it's too late, he has already molested her."
Xu Xian looked down inexplicably and couldn't help but scream.
On the chest of her white bottoming shirt, seven characters were written at some point - Li Mengnan is here for a visit.
Li Mengnan snapped his fingers and winked: "Keep it well. This is the first time I have signed an autograph for a fan. It is very collectible."
Xu Xian rubbed the dragon and phoenix dancing words on her clothes in disbelief, sighed and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know how you did it, but... you ruined an innocent girl's beautiful fantasy about an idol."
"I don't think so... Idols are also human beings. I just made you realize the reality shrouded in the dazzling light." Li Mengnan stretched out his hand to Xu Xian again and said with a calm smile: "Now that the idol in your heart has collapsed, we will
We can be friends normally."
Xu Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed with relief.
"By the way, idol, why don't you have a show at this New Year's Eve party?"
Although they are friends, Xu Xian still refers to him as "idol". Of course, this does not mean worship, but is just a nickname-like term.
"It's a mistake to be busy."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xian asked inexplicably.
"He means - too busy, and then missed it." Minnie rolled her eyes at Li Mengnan, "Can't you speak properly? Who can understand just three words?"
"Don't you understand?" Li Mengnan smiled.
Xu Xian looked at Li Mengnan and Minnie doubtfully. A woman's unique intuition made her feel that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, but it didn't feel like a couple. However, she knew enough not to ask any more questions and sighed:
"It's such a pity. If this party could have a program with your idol, that Xiong Li probably wouldn't be so arrogant..."
"Huh?" Li Mengnan was puzzled. Does this have anything to do with him?
"Oh? Didn't Minnie tell you?" Xu Xian originally thought that Li Mengnan knew, "There was a boy named Pei Junmeng who had pursued Minnie for a while. After being rejected by Minnie many times, he turned to Xiong Li, and this Xiong Li
Li has always been worried about her boyfriend pursuing Minnie, so Minnie has become her imaginary enemy inexplicably..."
"Pei Junmeng...a familiar name?"
Li Mengnan thought for a moment and then remembered that during the New Year's Party trials a few months ago, he fought against this boy named Pei Junmeng to help Zhao Yingjun's magic.
This person's magic has no innovative spirit, and his techniques are just mediocre. He relies solely on his face to support the scene. At best, he can only deceive those young girls in college who only care about their looks.
"Would you like to open a private room for you and order a pot of tea and chat slowly? It's time to practice dancing!"
Minnie didn't seem to want Li Mengnan to know these things, so she clapped her hands and interrupted the conversation between the two of them. Xu Xian helplessly shrugged to Li Mengnan, took off his coat and entered to practice.
The lingering and flirtatious dance between the two beautiful girls is very interesting, but after all, the role of Liang Shanbo played by Xu Xian still seems a bit feminine, just like the male pig's feet in the classic "The Legend of the White Snake".
After all, gender deficiencies cannot be made up for by acting skills alone.
However, considering that ancient Chinese scholars were all weak and weak-minded, it is barely acceptable for a girl to play the role. Fortunately, this is only "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". If it were replaced by "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai",
"Romeo and Juliet", the painting style is probably very bad.
Since renovating the activity room at home, Li Mengnan has seen Minnie dance several times, but they were just scattered movements, and none of them was as complete as "Butterfly Lovers" from beginning to end.
I have to say that Minnie is very good at dancing. Most dancers can only dance with a sense of rhythm, but Minnie's dance can dance with a unique sense of melody, as if it is not a dance at all, every move she makes is music.
itself.
This is an innate talent, which is what Master Shixian said, "I am born with talent." It is a random gift given by the Creator to every living being in the world, and I cannot envy it.
Compared with the lightness and stretch of Zhu Yingtai played by Minnie, Liang Shanbo played by Xu Xian has obviously become the shortcoming of the entire dance - it is not that Xu Xian dances poorly, it can only be said that she picked the wrong dance partner.
Their dancing levels are similar, but the gap in stage performance is so big that even a layman like Li Mengnan can see it.
Li Mengnan even felt that if this dance were replaced by Minnie's solo dance, the effect would be far better than the current duet dance.
However, the New Year's Eve party is, after all, just a stage for college students to entertain themselves. Letting more students who love artistic performances participate is far more important than the stage effect. Just because the effect is not good, it denies a girl's long-term efforts.
With all his efforts, there must be no teacher committee member who would be such a villain.
Since Minnie was still in her menstrual period and was not suitable for long-term high-intensity exercise, she and Xu Xian only briefly reviewed the entire dance twice before calling it a day.
"Hanwen, do you want to go have a meal together? I'll treat you." No matter how many times he called the name "Xu Xian", Li Mengnan felt that there were a lot of things to say.
"No, idol, please take Yingtai and leave first. I have to go find my wife." Xu Xian put on a classic pose from the TV series. After getting to know this girl, she is also a very humorous person.
Xu Xian put on her coat and left first - she was not an idiot. Naturally, she had long noticed that the relationship between Minnie and Li Mengnan was a little unusual, and she would not stay and be the shining light bulb that was embarrassing to the scene.
"This friend of yours is quite interesting. How did you get to know each other?" Li Mengnan asked Minnie while turning off the power switches everywhere in the classroom.
"We met during a joint dance class. We were temporarily assigned dance partners. Later we felt we could get along, so we exchanged phone numbers."
For Minnie, Xu Xian is just a relatively good ordinary friend, with more of a cooperative relationship, not a confidant or best friend, so she did not go into more details.
"Oh." Li Mengnan just asked casually. This girl Xu Xian looks good. He didn't want to interfere with Minnie's normal social activities. He changed the topic and asked: "How are you doing at home recently? How are mom and Bao'er?"
"Very good! We can live well without the care of you, the eldest young master..."
Minnie rolled her eyes angrily, obviously resentful of Li Mengnan's indifference during this period.
Li Mengnan touched his nose in embarrassment. He also knew that he was at fault for this matter. He smiled helplessly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Minnie raising her hand again.
"Okay, no need to explain, I'm just complaining... Although I don't know what you are busy with outside every day, I believe that you are doing the right thing. I don't want to blame you, I just hope that no matter how busy you are,
, don’t forget that you still have a family.”
Minnie's tone gradually softened, and she suddenly wrapped her arms around Li Mengnan's waist from behind, pressing her face against his thick and broad back.
Li Mengnan turned around and held Minnie in his arms, smiling softly: "Are you reminding me not to forget you?"
Minnie clenched her small fist and lightly hammered Li Mengnan's chest, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, I'm telling you something serious... By the way, I have to tell you something. Bao'er is about to have surgery, so please don't do it during this time."
No more running around."
Xiao Baoer's surgery is indeed a major event in recent times. Li Mengnan put away the smile on his face and asked seriously: "Has Baoer's surgery been arranged?"
Minnie nodded and said: "The operation will be performed in four days, and the experts invited by Shanghai will perform the surgery personally."
"Okay, I get it."
Li Mengnan couldn't get involved in the treatment of the disease. The only thing he could do at this time was to stay with his family.
