Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Magic
Time went by day by day, the dirty-faced fool went to the library every morning to join the queue to reserve a seat so he could make some money to buy enough food for the day. Sometimes, if the money was not enough, he would go to the canteen to pick other people’s leftovers again, and then he would return to the 311 girl’s dormitory to keep shouting Room 203 for the whole day.
After some time, he and the girls in the dormitory 311 became familiar with each other, and the Tank auntie also no longer treated him badly. Instead, whenever she heard about the fool eating other people’s leftovers, she would not be able to help herself but shed a few drops of tears.
After everyone knew that the fool was not dangerous, whenever some girls saw him, they would jokingly say,
“Dummy, did you shout to room 203 below the 311 dormitory today?”
“Dummy, I have meat you want to eat?”
“Dummy, are you here to reserve a seat for w.a.n.g Yijian again?”
“Dummy, can you help me to buy something? Oh, some girl’s stuff, I don’t trust other men!”
…
w.a.n.g Yijian became famous, he had no idea that he would become famous among girls in this way. Many girls had never even met him, but they knew his existence because he was the fool’s employer.
The fool also became famous, in just 10 days, he became the most well-known man in the area around the 311 girl’s dormitory. There were many different stories about the fool. The most popular one was, that the fool once fell in love with a girl, who lived in room 203 in the 311 girl’s dormitory, and probably the relations.h.i.+p didn’t end up well, it caused the fool to lose his mind. But because the story was made up, so no one really believed it.
The fool said that he had lost something in the dormitory, and that thing was very very important to him, so the girls of the 311 girl’s dormitory had also tried to help him find the so-called important thing when they were bored. However, never once could they find it. Because the fool never once was able to explain clearly what the thing was.
But the fool became a role model, that many young girls used to lecture their boyfriends.
“If you’re as honest as Dummy, I’ll believe you?”
“Dummy never stopped shouting room 203 for a single day, but you only came to visit me for just a few days but you are already tired?”
“Dummy is very diligent, unlike you, who are very lazy!”
“Dummy is not a pervert, really, our dormitory once made a bet, and sent Xiao Miao to test him.”
“Dummy can do magic, can you? You can’t? So useless, even Dummy is so much better than you!”
…
While boys hated the fool, they also had something to say,
“You see how easy it is to satisfy Dummy, he eats leftovers, sleeps in the woods, I mean can you not be so wasteful?”
“Dummy is never picky about food! He will just eat anything, especially fat meat, the one you don’t want to eat.”
“See, no matter how much Dummy eats, he will never get fat.”
…
Gradually, the fool didn’t have to go to the canteen to pick up leftovers, every day, when w.a.n.g Yijian went into the canteen with the fool, and whenever the girls from the 311 dormitory saw the fool, they would always smile at the fool and give the fool some of their food, especially the fat meat, the type of food, that girls did not like the most.
But that was the fool’s favorite food. w.a.n.g Yijian said, that the fool was not stupid at all, and this argument and judgment appeared more and more often as time pa.s.sed. However, only “foodie” this evaluation was always consistent, because often in every meal, the fool could eliminate several boxes of fat meat.
But what made w.a.n.g Yijian speechless was that no matter how much food the fool ate, he just didn’t get fat. His face was still very skinny and in a very unhealthy color, it didn’t get any better.
w.a.n.g Yijian’s study was quite successful. He pa.s.sed the first exam smoothly. But whenever there was gain, there would be a loss. The pure girl, who sat opposite him, indeed became familiar the fool, but she became the girlfriend of that detestable sleazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who he had fight with, and the reason the girl rejected him was, that he liked so many girls, but w.a.n.g Yijian insisted, that it was definitely because of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was richer than him.
Since then, w.a.n.g Yijian and that detestable b.a.s.t.a.r.d became mortal enemies.
In order to fully defeat that b.a.s.t.a.r.d and stop him from showing off in front of him, w.a.n.g Yijian decided that it was necessary to have a good talk with the fool.
“Dummy, tomorrow is the winter solstice festival.”
w.a.n.g Yijian stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and said vigilantly. While eating, he thought to himself, ‘G.o.d Dammnit, why does Dummy become smarter and smarter every day. Is it because of the meat? If it is really the meat, then I will start eating the fat meat tomorrow.’
“And then?”
The fool raised his head and said. His perplexed eyes became clear and brighter day by day.
“There’s a university union party in the university town.”
w.a.n.g Yijian started to even suspect that the fool was even smarter than him.
Sure enough, the fool’s eyes instantly became even brighter. He patted the table like how w.a.n.g Yijian normally did and said, “ten boxes of fat meat!”
“I hope one day you will die from eating too much fat meat!” w.a.n.g Yijian cursed.
“Fifteen boxes!” The fool started to increase the price and his face was very serious.
“Oh no, big brother, it was my bad, ten boxes, just ten boxes please!” w.a.n.g Yijian wanted to reason with the fool. But when this idea just popped out in his head, he immediately dropped it. Trying to reason with a fool? Unless he was really stupid, otherwise, it was much better to be straightforward to the fool.
Burying his head inside the lunch box, the fool continued to eliminate the fat meat inside the box, he didn’t seem to have heard what he said, but his brows were pressed together as if he was worried about something.
w.a.n.g Yijian secretly laughed at himself, that what could the fool possibly worry about, but then all of sudden, he realized something, “How do you know what I need from you?” He was very surprised.
The fool’s mouth was stuffed with meat. He mumbled something in a m.u.f.fled voice, and then pouted out his lips to hint w.a.n.g Yijian to look at his back.
As w.a.n.g Yijian looked back, he saw one of the four most beautiful girls in the university, Lu Bingyan was walking towards them with her lunch box with her ponytail dancing happily behind her.
“Dummy, Remember, as long as you convince her to pretend to be my girlfriend for one night, then ten boxes of fat meat!”
w.a.n.g Yijian didn’t have time to praise the fool’s intelligence. He approached the fool and whispered into his ear as if they were discussing some dodgy things.
The fool nodded his head and said, “deal!”
With the fool’s promise, w.a.n.g Yijian was finally relieved. Speaking of this, it was actually very strange. Lu Bingyan didn’t live in the 311 girl’s dormitory, and not only was she very beautiful, but she was an excellent student. It was said that the university even offered her a chance to become an exchange student and represent the university to study at a famous university in the UK. But no one knew why she was always very good to the fool.
Apart from buying a big piece of meat for the fool every day, she even donated a lot of daily necessities to the fool as well. Sometimes, she even bickered with the fool. It made everyone wonder, since when did this beautiful girl, who was always very quiet and rarely talked to any male students in the university town, have common topics with the fool?
In the end, many male students could only guess that it was all because the fool was very harmless, naive and innocent.
“Dummy, fat meat.” Lu Bingyan used a spoon to pick out the fat meat from her lunch box and gave it to the fool and said without any expressions on her face.
Although in the quiet evening when there were fewer people walking around in the university town, and the fool often said some puzzling strange words to frighten her, she felt much safer walking past the grove and the area around it, knowing that the fool lived there. Although that pervert, who was scared away by the fool, had threatened her, he never dared to show up again.
This incident, w.a.n.g Yijian didn’t know about it, and at the moment, he was constantly winking at the fool to hint him something.
While eating the fat meat, the fool said in a m.u.f.fled voice to Lu Bingyan, who was about to sit down, “he wants you to be his girlfriend.”
w.a.n.g Yijian was so embarra.s.sed, that he almost wanted to find a place to hide. Who would say this kind of thing like that? It was too f.u.c.king straightforward!
Lu Bingyan looked at w.a.n.g Yijian in surprise, but then she asked the fool, “why?”
The fool frowned, swallowed the meat and carried on his last sentence, “one night.”
w.a.n.g Yijian suddenly spat out a mouthful of soup, and hurriedly covered the fool’s mouth. He was both angry and embarra.s.sed, that he almost wanted to kick the fool’s a.s.s straight away, but he had to maintain a good image, so he apologized, “I’m sorry, Dummy was talking nonsense again.”
Lu Bingyan looked at w.a.n.g Yijian and then looked at the fool. She, who was a clever girl, immediately understood what was going on. But she didn’t seem to mind it. Instead, a smile appeared on her face and she said, “okay, however, Dummy, you have to promise me one thing.”
w.a.n.g Yijian couldn’t believe that Lu Bingyan actually agreed to it. He was dazed for a few seconds, while his hands were still covering the fool’s mouth. Then he couldn’t control the excitement in his heart and said, “no problem, I can promise it on behalf of Dummy!”
As soon as he finished saying, he quickly winked at the fool and signaled him not to ruin his opportunity. At the same time, he also mouthed silently, ‘five more fat meat!’
The fool nodded. But he also mumbled, “winter solstice festival? It’s getting dark. Why don’t you all run?”
Lu Bingyan and w.a.n.g Yijian both unanimously ignored his raving. And Lu Bingyan carried on to mention her condition indirectly, “some talented students from Aurora college will be performing in the evening party. I have seen the Dummy’s magic tricks. It is very awesome. I hope he can show it to the students from the other universities in the party.”
w.a.n.g Yijian nodded his head to signal that he agreed to it on behalf of the fool. Actually, he had also seen the fool’s magic tricks many times. For example, right now, w.a.n.g Yijian suddenly shouted, “Dummy, what are you doing? Where did you hide the leftovers again!? How many times have I told you that you can’t eat those leftovers, otherwise, you’ll get sick!”
Lu Bingyan’s beautiful eyes flashed a look of sympathy. She stopped w.a.n.g Yijian, who was about to search the fool’s body and said sympathetically, “Dummy must have suffered starvation in the past, and he was scared of it. Please, just let him hide it”
…..
The night of the winter solstice festival, it was cold and bleak.
In the vastness of the universe, that streak of silver light beam finally disappeared into the unknown s.p.a.ce, the surveillance s.h.i.+p, that no one knew how many light years it was behind, eventually lost the signal of the silver light beam, and it began to cruise silently in the dark again…
Song Ying, as the representative of the freshman of the Aurora Collage, came to the square of the university town very early. She, who was haggard, didn’t want to attend some kind of evening party. She even rarely attended the cla.s.ses. Apart from her best friend, who constantly begged her to come here, the most important reason why she was here was that she had almost searched everywhere in the city, but she still could not find any Chu Yunsheng’s information. Now it only left with Songjiang, Chongming, Jinshan three suburbs, that she had not searched, so she hoped that by coming here, she would be able to find Chu Yunsheng’s information.
This day was December 21st, and from the date, Chu Yunsheng had told her, there were only less than 7 days left!
…..
The dance on the stage seemed to have nothing to do with Song Ying. When she stepped into Songjiang university town, she had a strong feeling as if there was a voice telling her, that the person she was looking for, was here!
She was so excited and anxious, that she did not dare to tell anyone, including uncle Jiang, who accompanied her.
The boy’s father was not as tight-lipped as he had promised, and before he even arrived at the police station he had already told the police everything.
After obtaining the note that the police had taken from him, the military and the government were not satisfied. They did not believe this kind of nonsense at all. So they immediately called in the psychiatric experts and gave the boy’s father a number of rigorous psychiatric a.s.sessments.
The results of the test were shocking. What the boy’s father had said was true.
So whether in the military system, or the government police system, Chu Yunsheng was immediately listed as an extremely dangerous experimental subject.
However, they still couldn’t tell how Chu Yunsheng did it.
Because apart from the remnants of a little blood in the sewer, they could not find any bodies and destroyed vehicles, there was not any equipment that could allow scientists to make any scientific a.n.a.lysis and understand how Chu Yunsheng killed those people.
However, Song Ying could “hear” the raging roars, and the countless fragments from the doc.u.ments that the police had gathered.
She then began to have nightmares day after day, and it was the same nightmare every time. Every time after she woke up, she could only remember an extremely frightening picture.
At the end of the world, above a tearful dark shadow, the sky sent down the divine punishment, the sun and the moon disappeared without a trace, the world began to crack, mountains began to collapse, countless fragments formed endless tornadoes causing havoc around Earth… the tearful dark shadow struggled to climb to the top of a mountain, that was sitting on top of a blood sea and was made of countless bodies, and cried hysterically, “tell me, if everything is not real, why my heart hurts so much! ? Why does it hurt so much!?”
…
Two lines of crystal-cleared tears trickled down Song Ying’s pretty face.
“Yingying, what’s wrong?” Her best friend shook her arm, pulled out a tissue, pa.s.sed to her and said in surprise.
“?” Realizing her gaffe, Song Ying took the tissue and wiped off her tears. She pointed to the stage, and said with a smile to hide her true feelings, “her violin performance is really great.”
The performances on the stage reached its climax. Lu Bingyan dressed in a white dress, looking like a pretty fairy. Her slender and fine-skinned arm was moving rhythmically to play a piece of soft touching violin music. The beautiful melody was flowing in the seemingly peaceful night sky and quiet crowd, attracting the attention of the countless young men and young women.
In the crowd, a man in his forties with a disheveled beard lowered the edge of his hat and only revealed a pair of eyes that were full of blazing l.u.s.t, and those eyes were staring fixedly at the incredibly beautiful girl on the stage at this very moment.
After the performance, Lu Bingyan slightly bent over to thank the crowd, and w.a.n.g Yijian finally had a chance to get on the stage to give her the flower, and then he deliberately held the hand of Lu Bingyan and walked pa.s.s that detestable b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who he had a fight with, while raising his head high as if he had a much prettier girlfriend than his.
Looking at the expression of the detestable man, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
But soon the attention of the crowd was s.h.i.+fted to a handsome male student from Aurora college. After the handsome male student finished his extremely amazing performance, countless girls screamed excitedly. Although the winter night was cold, it still couldn’t stop those girls’ hot hearts beating for love.
Even w.a.n.g Yijian, who had just mocked the detestable man, was also impressed by the man’s performance.
“So cool.” Lu Bingyan also couldn’t help but blurt out. Although she was clever and pretty, she was still a girl after all.
However, she would only reveal this side of her around the people she was familiar with. And because w.a.n.g Yijian’s relations.h.i.+p with the fool, she considered him as someone, who she was somewhat familiar with.
Hearing her was praising another man, w.a.n.g Yijian, who was still holding her hand, was extremely gloomy. Although the male student was really handsome, and she was not really his girlfriend, he still couldn’t help being jealous.
The handsome male student bowed deeply to the audience, then took the microphone, and in the midst of the girls’ screams, he revealed a sunny smile, “thank you, thank you all. I am actually really nervous and my heart is racing because my dream girl is currently sitting below the stage. Today, I finally summoned enough courage to tell her that I love her.”
“I spent three months writing a song for her, everyone, please give me the strength to sing the song to her!”
He was humble and was very confident, holding flowers in his hands, and with love in his eyes, he sang softly as he stepped off the stage and walked toward the crowd.
The students below the stage were seethed with excitement. Such a romantic scene, how could they not be excited, and how could it not make those girls lose their minds? After all, they all got nothing else to do anyway.
The screams and the whistles appeared constantly, and it never stopped!
The hostess looked at her watch nervously a few times. She did not know that there was this kind arrangement. Probably the male student from the Aurora college planned this a long time ago. She didn’t want to upset people, so she didn’t stop the male student’s performance. But the next one that was going to perform was the fool. And the fool probably didn’t know what happened, he was still walking towards the stage with his usual perplexed expression.
While walking in the crowd, the handsome male student pa.s.sed many girls, and those girls’ expressions were almost as interesting as the handsome male student’s song. At first, they all looked at him with antic.i.p.ation, then they were excited when they saw he was walking towards them, and then when he walked past them, they were all very disappointed.
Eventually, he stopped in front of the girl, who seemed to have tears marks on her face. He raised the flowers, and looked in her eyes, he could almost see the tears on the girl’s beautiful eyelashes.
“My G.o.ddess!” The male student revealed a charming smile. He was confident and affectionate.
In the distance, a bunch of fireworks soared into the sky, blossomed brilliantly like flowers in the night sky. There were countless petals appearing out of nowhere, falling on people’s shoulders, hands, the ground, pus.h.i.+ng the atmosphere to the climax.
“Kiss her! Kiss her!”
‘kiss her!”
‘kiss her!”
The crowd egged, heckled, shouted, and released the pent-up energy and hormones that had been built up in the past month, which was the exam period.
The loud voices were like waves, appearing one after another, almost overturned the night sky.
w.a.n.g Yijian looked at the handsome male student with envy. That girl was so beautiful. She was even comparable to Lu Bingyan, and there was something about her, that he couldn’t quite point out. It was like something like a girl from a royal family would have. All men like to conquer, this type of girl would only make men want to conquer her even more.
w.a.n.g Yijian secretly looked at Lu Bingyan, but she seemed to be attracted by the romantic scene. Thinking about the relations.h.i.+p between them was fake, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Why is the gap between people so big? ?”
“d.a.m.n it! Even Dummy is also stunned by it. Huh?” w.a.n.g Yijian’s face suddenly changed, and he shouted, “Dummy, what are you doing?”
But the sound of his voice was submerged in the shouts of the crowd. It didn’t even cause a splatter. Instead, it startled Lu Bingyan, who was next to him.
He saw the fool looking at the fireworks and then looked at the male student, who attempted to kiss the girl, back and forth repeatedly, as if he was thinking something. While he was doing that, he was also murmuring something in his mouth. A few moments later, he began to walk towards them, and his footsteps became faster and faster, in the end, he started to run!
While Lu Bingyan was surprised, she suddenly noticed something and shouted in surprise, “look, the girl is not looking at that handsome guy, oh my G.o.d, she is looking at Dummy!”
“No way! … holy s.h.i.+t! It’s real! Who is she exactly?” After w.a.n.g Yijian also noticed it, he became completely confused. Originally, he wanted to stop the fool, but now, he didn’t know if he should.
The fool was running, and people could see that he was very excited, extremely excited!
That girl was Song Ying, and only until now did she realized why her best friend was begging her to come here. But when the handsome male student said those words, her eyes were attracted by the fool on the stage. Her heart was beating rapidly with happiness because she knew that fool. He was Chu Yunsheng. Even if he had become darker and skinnier, she could still recognize him.
When she saw him was running towards her excitedly, she completely forgot the existence of the handsome male student in front of her. She just stood there, not moving, while having a strange and exciting feeling. At the same time, she was also struggling in her mind. She wanted to run towards him to hug him, but she didn’t dare to.
The military and the government were looking for him. If they knew he was here, his life would be in danger!
“I’ll protect him!” Song Ying clenched her hands into fists, watching Chu Yunsheng trying to run to her frantically, while her eyes covered with a layer of light watery mist, “I finally found you. I’m sorry that I can’t meet you now. Please wait for me. I’ll definitely find a way to save you.”
She could not meet him. Not only could she not meet him, but she also could not let him meet her!
At this time, the handsome male student’s lips were already close to her face. She closed her eyes with tears, let the male student’s lips fall on her smooth forehead, the tip of her nose. She naively thought that only in this way, Chu Yunsheng would stop running towards her.
She wanted to cry, but she could only clench her little fists.
To others, however, it was the tears of happiness.
The fool stopped suddenly. As if he was in disbelief, or maybe he suddenly realized something, he looked at Song Ying, shaking his head in disappointment, and then began to move back. His lips were moving, but it looked like he could not utter any words. And as if he was in great sadness, he was looking around with a pair of lost eyes, seemingly looking for a way out.
“I am sorry! I’m sorry!” Song Ying did not dare to look at Chu Yunsheng. She tried to apologize to him in her heart over and over again. Her heart was twisted in pain, and her nails went deep into her palms. She bowed her head down to avoid the handsome male student from kissing her lips.
The handsome male student was very considerate. He stopped and raised his head. His face was filled with happiness as he thanked the screaming crowd.
w.a.n.g Yijian seemed to have understood something. With his wild imagination, he quickly came up with a colorful story that involved that pretty girl and the fool, in his mind. Then he ran to the fool, stopped him and tried to comfort him, “Dummy, don’t be like this. It is not a big deal! It is just a girl. If you want, she can be your girlfriend!”
After he said that, he quickly gave Lu Bingyan a look. The fool had problems with his head, if he didn’t come out to calm him down, he might really do something to hurt himself or maybe someone else.
But he did not expect the fool would push him away, and muttered, “she is not her, she is not her!”
“Not who?” w.a.n.g Yijian couldn’t hear him clearly.
The fool raised his head to look at the buildings in the distance, then he suddenly started to run, while running he was also shouting hysterically with a voice that was filled with endless despair and sadness.
“Li! Where are you?! I can’t find you! Stop hiding, Please! Let’s go home…”
The night was cold and dark, and his sorrowful voice was reverberating in university town for a very long time.
