Chapter 125.2
Meng Xinghe was speechless, “Are you still struggling with this matter? Haven’t you thought it through yet?”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded and said seriously, “If I can’t think it through, I have to go figure it out.”
Meng Xinghe shrugged, “If you’ve played this game, it’s impossible for me not to have an impression of it.”
Xiao Tangqiu thought for a while, “Maybe you weren’t with me when I was playing.”
Meng Xinghe shrugged, “Alright, it’s up to you, I’ll just go with you.”
The two of them came to the internet cafe and paid the money to log onto the computer.
Xiao Tangqiu first searched for keywords on the browser, from Abyss Demon to City of the Abyss, and from City of the Abyss to Shen Yuan, but found nothing. After he searched for a long time, Meng Xinghe leaned in his head and asked, “How is it? Find anything?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked puzzled, “No, is there really no such game?”
Meng Xinghe pointed to the webmaster brother on the side, “They’re well-informed and will know for sure if there is such a game. Go and ask.”
Xiao Tangqiu nodded and ran to ask the webmaster. The webmaster pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively, “There is no such game! I have never seen anyone play this game.”
Xiao Tangqiu went back to the computer in dejection and shook his head towards Meng Xinghe.
Meng Xinghe shrugged, “I told you so. If you’ve played this game, it’s impossible for me not to remember.”
Xiao Tangqiu looked very unfocused. Could it be that he had never played this game, everything was something he saw in his dreams?
The two played for a while and in the evening, Xiao Tangqiu took Meng Xinghe home, “We agreed that we can’t worry our parents anymore, let’s go back.”
Meng Xinghe reluctantly finished the last round before heading home with Xiao Tangqiu.
“Starting from tomorrow, we have to go to school on time, and we can’t skip cla.s.ses, even if it’s just self-study or evening cram cla.s.ses,” Xiao Tangqiu told Meng Xinghe with a serious expression, “We have to work hard to get into college. After you find a job and become financially independent, you can be free and do what you want to do. Isn’t it because you have no financial stability that you don’t have the confidence to be rid of your mother’s planning?”
Meng Xinghe laughed and nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
“We can go to the same university, choose the same major, and maybe live in the same dormitory. After graduation, we can go to the same company and rent a house together,” Xiao Tangqiu began to look to the future, “Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get out of your mother’s plans after getting into university?”
Meng Xinghe snorted, “My mother will definitely interfere with which school or major I choose. Thinking about it makes me sick.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled, “If your grades are good enough and there are enough reasons to convince her, she can’t completely ignore it. You should sit down and have a good chat.”
Meng Xinghe sneered, “How can it be so easy, my mother is the kind of person who wants complete control. Even if I become a vegetable in a car accident, she will definitely control my oxygen tube. If my sleeping position is not to her liking, she would unplug me.”
“Your mom doesn’t look that twisted…” Xiao Tangqiu said, but suddenly stopped… Wait a minute, a car accident?
In a flash of lightning, countless images flashed before his eyes.
At this moment, there was a screeching brake sound—
“Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly rush into the road?!”
Xiao Tangqiu looked up and saw a car parked less than half a meter in front of him, and a man immediately opened the door and rushed out of the car, pointing at his nose and cursing.
“If you want to die, don’t try to die in the middle of the road! d.a.m.n!”
This driver’s att.i.tude was very bad, but Xiao Tangqiu stared at the person’s face tightly, his gaze was too burning and the driver couldn’t take it anymore, “What are you looking at me for? You want to b.u.mp porcelain!”
Xiao Tangqiu took a step forward and couldn’t wait to ask, “Have we met somewhere? Have we met somewhere? Have we met somewhere?”
The man was startled and took a few steps back.
Xiao Tangqiu followed after him again with a very excited tone, “Sir, have we met somewhere? Is it in my dream? No, it can’t be in my dream!”
The man was completely frightened, and quickly turned around and returned to the car, “Crazy! I don’t even know who you are! Stop chasing me!”
“Wait a minute! This gentleman! We must have met somewhere!” Xiao Tangqiu rushed towards the man and yelled at the man’s car window, “We must have met somewhere before! You don’t remember me?”
“Crazy! Who has met you!”
The man was so frightened that he quickly stepped on the accelerator and the car zoomed out and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Tangqiu stood where he was and stared blankly as the car disappeared completely with a dazed expression on his face.
“You were amazing just now! You actually scare the driver away! Your acting skills are too good!” Meng Xinghe came over, full of admiration, “I almost thought you were actually crazy.”
Xiao Tangqiu was in a trance for a few moments before turning his head to Meng Xinghe and saying, “But… I really think I’ve seen that driver somewhere…”
Meng Xinghe’s mouth twitched, “Ah? This again? Have you seen that driver in your dream too?”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Is it in a dream? I don’t know… I only know that I might have seen the driver… I even remember his lines… exactly the same lines…”
Meng Xinghe, “…Huh?”
Xiao Tangqiu imitated expressionlessly, “First, while opening the car door, rushing out and shouting, ‘Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly rush into the road’ and then point at my nose and yell, ‘If you want to die, don’t try to die in the middle of the road! d.a.m.n!’… I’ve memorized the exact same lines.”
Meng Xinghe’s mouth twitched, “This only means that you have memorized what he said just now, right?”
“No, the moment he opened the door, I already knew what he was going to say!” Xiao Tangqiu bit his lip, “I’ve seen him before! Not in my dream! ”
Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows, “Then where have you seen him before?”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned and thought for a moment, “I don’t know… I still can’t remember, but I know I must have seen him.”
Meng Xinghe sighed, “Forget it, think about it slowly. If you can’t figure it out, you won’t be able to get over it, right? Let’s go back first, I’ll call a taxi and we’ll go home.”
While Xiao Tangqiu frowned in thought, Meng Xinghe raised his hand and hailed a cab.
After getting into the car, the driver asked casually, “Why didn’t you two children go to school? Did you skip cla.s.s?”
Meng Xinghe had a cute face, “We just came back from the hospital, look at the injury on my face.”
“Why is the injury so serious?” The driver turned his head and saw the injury on Meng Xinghe’s face, and was immediately surprised.
Meng Xinghe sighed, “Had a car accident.”
Car accident?
Upon hearing the term, Xiao Tangqiu began to go into a daze again.
“That’s really a bit unfortunate, but it’s fine if you’re okay,” the driver opened the conversation and started chatting with Meng Xinghe, “Don’t look at this uncle driving a car every day as if I’m going for a ride, it’s actually not easy to be a taxi driver! It’s always easy to meet strange customers…
“Let’s just talk about this morning, I met a girl who was drunk and lost her love. I didn’t want to take this order, but seeing how miserable she was, I agreed out of pity, and she vomited while crying… Sigh! Can’t be helped, had to get the car washed!
“Then, I just came back from washing the car and I met a couple with a child. Halfway through the drive, the child peed his pants in the car! The smell was too great! Can’t be helped, I went to wash the car again!
“This…”
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly said, “This morning was really unlucky.”
The driver laughed, “How do you know what I’m going to say?”
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, “Sir, have we met before?”
The driver did not think Xiao Tangqiu was insane like the previous one, but asked with a smile, “Have you ever been in my car before?”
Xiao Tangqiu pondered, “Maybe, and more than once.”
“That’s really fate,” the driver laughed. “It’s hard for us to have repeat customers in this business.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled lightly, “Then do you remember me? Do you remember where we met?”
The driver smiled and asked, “Why do you ask? Does it matter if I remember? What about you? Do you remember where we met?”
Xiao Tangqiu was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, “I remember, I remember…
“…everything. I remember it all.”
