Lu Mingfei wrote four big characters on the blackboard, "Travel Plan".
It was evening, after several people had dinner together, they reunited in the library.
"Don't you have beautiful handwriting?" Nono yawned, "Why are you like this now?"
"Sister, don't be embarrassed." Lu Mingfei said seriously, "Maybe it's because I'm not comfortable writing on the blackboard."
"Okay, okay, your handwriting is the most beautiful." Nono leaned on the table and looked at him, "Hurry up and finish talking. I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep. I'm sleepy."
"That's it." Lu Mingfei turned around and continued to write and draw on the blackboard.
"Senior Brother Lu." Xia Mi raised his hand and pointed at a place, "What is that?"
"Almost got it." Lu Mingfei fiercely threw the chalk to the ground, "You can do it!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xia Mi hummed and stood up, picking up the chalk on the ground, "Tell me, what do you want to draw?"
"You just draw a lake and a city." Lu Mingfei crossed his hands and wanted to see how well Xia Mi painted.
"Oh, it turns out what you just drew was a city." Xia Mil was amused, "I'm still wondering why you drew a few square boxes."
"..." Lu Mingfei's face darkened.
"Mi Meizi's painting is indeed much better than yours." Nuonuo pointed at Jiang Shan, "Learn from others."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Mingfei looked relaxed, half slumped on the chair.
"Okay, the drawing is finished." Xia Mi clapped his hands, "What will you draw next?"
"Draw two roads." Lu Mingfei said.
"Brother Lu, what do you want to explain?" Xia Mi quit, "A city, a lake, and two broken roads, I really don't understand."
"What I mean is that we are divided into two groups." Lu Mingfei danced with excitement, "My senior sister and I are going to find Sherlock Holmes, and you and your senior brother are going to find King Arthur's lake."
"What?" Xia Mi also followed Lu Mingfei's example and threw the chalk on the ground, "That's it? Senior Brother Lu, you can just dictate it, right? Why do you have to work so hard to do all of this?"
"What do you know, life needs a sense of ritual, you know the sense of ritual." Lu Mingfei was dissatisfied, "Forget it, junior sister, please stop drawing, I will just say it."
"Wouldn't it be fine if it had been like this?" Nuonuo pouted.
"Yes, yes..." Lu Mingfei said submissively, "Senior sister taught me a lesson."
"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly!"
"Next, we have to divide our troops into two groups." Lu Mingfei cleared his throat, "Senior sister and I will go find Holmes first. Junior sister, you and your senior brother will go to that lake and wait for news about us. Once you have the specific information,
I'll call you immediately and tell you."
"So, what is that lake, what is it?"
"Um...I'm not sure about this either." Lu Mingfei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Then you want us to wait? Where to wait? Wait in the sky?" Xia Mi looked up at the sky, "I also want to go to the sky to have some fun."
"That's wrong." Lu Mingfei said with a straight face, "I read on the encyclopedia that Merlin took him to the lake, so no one knows where it is. You can't blame me."
"Senior Brother Lu is really speechless." Xia Mi pursed his lips, "You'd better pray that your Sherlock Holmes friend can be of some use, otherwise, hum..."
…
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "Just think we are going on a trip."
"Senior brother, you have changed." Xia Mi tilted her head and looked at him curiously, "You would never say such a thing in such a relaxed tone before, and it was about Odin."
"Maybe..." Chu Zihang was stunned. He didn't notice at all. It turned out that his mentality had changed quietly.
He looked at the girl next to him, she was really... changing him subtly.
"That's good." Xia Mi smiled with squinted eyes, "I'm no longer so bitter and grudge-y. To be honest, I still like seniors who are less facially paralyzed."
"Like it?" Nono said playfully, "Girl, are you going to blow yourself up?"
"No, no!" Xia Mi's face suddenly turned red and he waved his hands desperately, "I'm talking about the kind of like... between friends! I don't mean anything else, don't think too much!"
"I understand." Lu Mingfei didn't expose it and turned around to tease Chu Zihang, "Brother, let me interview you. What do you think when you hear these words?"
"..." Chu Zihang unnaturally avoided Lu Mingfei's gaze and did not speak.
"It's boring." Lu Mingfei lowered his face and said, "Continue to discuss our travel plans."
Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he felt a little unhappy.
"Anyway, let's proceed like this for now," Nono said, "Junior brother and I will go one way, and you guys will go all the way. If you really can't wait for news from us, you can just hang around and play around."
"Okay." Seeing that no one had objections, Xia Mi could only agree.
"Brother, the problem of your bloodline has also been solved." Lu Mingfei winked at Chu Zihang, "The prerequisite is to find the "Shield" first."
"Isn't the Holy Grail good?" Xia Mi asked, "Isn't it also an artifact that can stabilize the dragon bloodline?"
"The Holy Grail is not allowed." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "I have never heard about the Holy Grail. Let's put aside the question of whether it really exists. Even if we find it, we can only solve the bloodline problem and cannot let it go.
Senior brother, improve your strength."
"He is the man who wants to... challenge Odin alone!"
"The "Shield" is different. With its "absolute defense" characteristics, once activated, I don't think anyone in the world can hurt Senior Brother." Lu Mingfei asked Chu Zihang, "Senior Brother, your bloodline is quite stable.
Click it."
"It's pretty stable." Chu Zihang said calmly, "It's okay. Even if I can't find the "shield", I can still live for a few more years. I won't die before I complete my goal."<
/p>
"What are you talking about?" Xia Mi suddenly became angry, "Senior brother, do you really want to die?"
"Of course not." Chu Zihang said, "If possible, I hope I can live for a long time."
"So you like American blockbuster-style personal heroism?" Xia Mi said in an unusually cold voice, "How handsome. A man is charging at Odin with a knife, and he might even shout something awesome.
What a silly line."
"God, come on, it's time for us to settle the accounts!" She became excited, "What do I think? You should be able to say something like this, right?"
"..." Chu Zihang was silent, and Xia Mi's words were full of spikes, as if he was unhappy and wanted to puncture his inflated tires at this moment.
…
"Maybe it's what you said." Chu Zihang whispered, "Because my father did the same thing."
"He died behind me. I didn't do anything. I just drove forward and ran until...I couldn't see him anymore."
"Can you understand that feeling?"
"How does it feel?" Xia Mi asked with a frown.
"'I'm a coward,'" Chu Zihang said every word.
"Actually, it's just trying to be brave, right? You say, 'I'm a coward, etc.', but in my heart I still feel that I'm great... I feel that if I don't do something, I've made a mistake. Because I'm great, I have to be someone else."
It's a piece of cake to risk your life for something you can't do?" Xia Mi mocked.
"Yes," Chu Zihang nodded, whispering in a voice as sharp and crisp as ice, "From that day on, I decided that anything I couldn't do was my fault." p>
"You are always so brave, I think you will die sooner or later."
"If I die, I will die, and so will you..." Chu Zihang suddenly took back half of what he said. He felt that if he really said these words, it would make the girl sad.
"What do you want to say?" Xia Mi asked.
"I want to say..." Chu Zihang sighed softly and changed the subject of the narrative, "My death has nothing to do with anyone."
"Who said it doesn't matter? You have to spend money to send flowers to the grave!" Xia Mi looked fierce.
"Tell me, what kind of flowers would you like to put on your grave?"
Chu Zihang thought for a while, "Lily...or maybe chrysanthemum, yellow."
"Oh... not as good as carnations, carnations are beautiful..."
"The flower language of carnations is love for mother, not a flower for visiting graves." Chu Zihang was a little helpless.
"Carnations are cheap..."
This conversation was so ridiculous that Chu Zihang had to reiterate it. He didn’t understand why he was continuing this conversation. Maybe he should return to the topic of the mission?
Just as he was thinking about whether to say "Let's talk about the mission first," he saw Xia Mi's smart deer-like eyes suddenly darkened, "Senior brother, are you serious? Are you really going to stop even after your own death?
Have you thought of everything?"
"I think about it occasionally." Chu Zihang nodded.
"You're not allowed to think about it!"
"Have you never thought that someone would be sad for your death? Like your mother, like Senior Brother Lu, like Sister Nuonuo, like...me."
"..." Chu Zihang didn't know what to say.
"Maybe there is also Principal Angers. He should like you quite a lot. Your tutor, Professor Schneider, will definitely be sad because you are his most proud student..." Xia Mi is still counting.
"All in all, I won't allow you, senior brother, to take your own life so lightly," Xia Mi looked directly into his eyes, "You have to know that at least there are people in this world who care about you, even if only the few I just mentioned."<
/p>
"But it still exists."
They stopped talking, and the library was silent for a moment.
Suddenly there was a sound of "kacha", and Chu Zihang looked for his voice. Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo got up at some point, holding buckets of popcorn and sitting next to them, eating, watching with gusto.
"Sorry, sorry." Lu Mingfei raised his hand, "I've disturbed you, please continue."
…
"Lu! Ming! Fei!" Xia Mi jumped up from the chair, her ears and cheeks were red, "I'm going to strangle you to death!"
"Holy shit!" Lu Mingfei stuffed the popcorn into Nono's arms, "Sister, help me get it first, I'm going to be exhausted from now on."
Lu Kindergarten and Xia Kindergarten began to circle around the table again, one behind the other.
Chu Zihang didn't look. He lowered his head and thought about what Xia Mi said before. It turns out that he is not alone in this world. It turns out that there are so many people who care about him...
The two of them turned a corner and went behind the huge bookshelf. Lu Mingfei suddenly braked and said, "Stop!"
"What are you doing?" Xia Mi gritted his teeth and geared up, "Lu Mingfei, do you have any last words? I will tell them to Sister Nuonuo for you."
"Junior sister, I misunderstood!" Lu Mingfei shouted innocently, "I want to help you!"
"Help? You call watching a good show a help?" Xia Mi laughed angrily, "Tell me how you can help me?"
"This, this." Lu Mingfei quickly took out his mobile phone, "Look at the chat history, I just chatted with Boss Caesar and Senior Ye Sheng."
"Caesar, I know, who is that upstart Ye Sheng?" Xia Mi was still a little suspicious, but after all he couldn't restrain his curiosity and leaned over to look at the screen of his mobile phone.
"He's a senior of ours who graduated a few years ago." Lu Mingfei wiped his sweat, "He and his fiancée used to be in the execution department. They almost died in a mission last year, so they quit the execution department and planned to get married.
."
"That sounds quite touching." Xia Mi grabbed the phone and said, "Let me take a look..."
"Boss, are you there? Please help me."
"Tell me, I owed you a favor before, and I will help in any way I can."
"It's like this. I have a good relationship with a senior named Ye Sheng. He is also a member of the student union. He plans to propose to his fiancée recently and wants to use your Norton Hall, boss."
"Ye Sheng? I'm a little impressed. Okay, I'll take care of this. Norton Hall is just a small problem. I will arrange for him the best court musicians, the best rings, the best dances, the best...anyway
Everything must be the best."
"Propose this
This is something that happens only once in a lifetime, and you must give the girl a perfect memory."
"Thank you, boss!"
Next is Ye Sheng.
"Senior Ye Sheng, I asked Caesar to borrow it from Norton Hall."
"Really? That's great. I'll order a ring right now."
"No need, the boss said he will help you arrange the best one."
"Isn't this a bit..."
"It's okay, the Gattuso family has plenty of money!"
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Lu."
……
"You're talking about your fiancée, why are you proposing?" Xia Mi doesn't quite understand.
"There is something called a sense of ritual." Lu Mingfei said, "How about it? Is senior brother interested in you?"
"I don't see what this has to do with helping me."
"Junior sister, are you showing off your brain?" Lu Mingfei said earnestly, "Think about it, there will definitely be a dance on the night of the proposal, so just invite senior brother to it. It's so romantic for a man and a woman to dance alone in the dark. I don't believe him.
Don’t be tempted!"
"Oh..." Xia Mi responded blankly.
"This is not the ultimate trick."
"I proposed, what's next? Get married!" Lu Mingfei punched his palm, "A wedding requires a bridesmaid and a best man, and the bridesmaid and best man usually...do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Xia Mi's eyes sparkled, "I was the leader of the ballet troupe in junior high school, and I'm absolutely great at dancing!"
"Well, our Kassel dance usually involves court dancing."
"Palace dancing is also good. I learn things quickly, and I can find reasons to practice dancing with my senior brother..." Xia Mi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became silent.
"Awesome! Junior sister is already self-taught without a teacher. Quickly think of a way to get senior brother to be your dance partner." Lu Mingfei was full of joy.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Xia Mi was confident, "Senior brother, he will definitely not be able to refuse me!"
