Brother, she will kill you.
Chapter 69 Brother, she will kill you.
"Senior, she sent me a question mark. What should I say?"
In the rented room, Lu Mingfei stared at the small question mark on his phone screen, becoming even more perplexed.
Chu Zihang thought to himself, "Why can't I answer any questions?" But he still answered seriously, "I don't know."
Seeing that the boy was really conflicted, Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, no need to ask."
Why?
"Professor Schneider asked me to attend an interview at Kassel College. Once I get there, I'll know if the interviewer is Chen Motong. If not, we can ask her whereabouts."
"Huh?!" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but quickly dimmed again: "But can I go?"
'
"Sure," Chu Zihang said. "They will be recruiting from Shilan High School. If you pass the interview, you can be exempt from the college entrance examination and come to Kassel College with me next year."
"Really?!" Lu Mingfei was genuinely overjoyed. "Can I go too?"
Ever since that red-haired girl suddenly crashed into his life like a shooting star a few years ago, turning his life upside down, and then left like a gust of wind, Lu Mingfei has always had a deep impression of that girl.
He had never seen such a cool girl before. She was underage and already drove a Ferrari. She could also be a force to be reckoned with among a group of seemingly strong adults.
At the time, everyone was in the same class, and Lu Mingfei even felt that this girl was on a completely different level from the others. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Lu Mingfei never imagined that he would one day follow in the footsteps of such a girl.
Lu Mingfei had a clear understanding of himself. He was just an ordinary person with no talent for studying and an unlikable personality. Being able to be friends with such an amazing girl was already an honor for him.
He's at most a gofer, maybe not even qualified.
He had never intended to pursue that girl; it was all Chu Zihang's fault.
Lu Mingfei still doesn't know what exactly happened on the overpass back then, but after Chen Motong left, before Lu Mingfei even had time to lament that his only friend had transferred schools, Chu Zihang, the famous figure of Shilan Middle School, came to his side.
Chu Zihang had been inquiring about the girl's background, and after learning that she had transferred schools, he started asking where she had gone.
Lu Mingfei didn't know why Chu Zihang was so persistent, but his obsessive desire to find Chen Motong could even be described as fanaticism.
Lu Mingfei is not a likable person. Chen Motong's brief appearance brought him immense glory, but correspondingly, people were less inclined to hang out with him. In real life, he only has Chu Zihang as a friend.
Although this friend mostly talked to him about reminiscing about another friend, Chu Zihang had indeed helped him a lot over the years.
His uncle and aunt, along with his cousin, had moved to some remote corner of the world. Chu Zihang was determined to find Chen Motong, and Lu Mingfei, not wanting to be alone again, could only grit his teeth and go with Chu Zihang to look for her.
His only worry now is whether he can get into that Kassel College, since he doesn't have Chu Zihang's good grades or Chen Motong's strong abilities.
He even worried that he hadn't even met the basic requirements.
But Chu Zihang said to him with absolute certainty, "Okay, you can come with me to the interview."
"You learned English with me, so your spoken English is fine, and you shouldn't have much trouble in the interview."
Lu Mingfei was truly grateful. He almost wanted to rush over and hug Chu Zihang's leg, and shout a few words of thanks for his brother's kindness in not abandoning him.
But Chu Zihang didn't give him that chance, pointing to his computer screen and saying, "Someone sent you a message."
Lu Mingfei instantly perked up and immediately looked at the pinned chat box, but the lonely question mark did not refresh.
Old Tang didn't ask him to play games either. Looking down, Lu Mingfei was a little confused. Upon closer inspection, he realized that someone in the group had tagged him.
That was their class's literary society.
"@Lu Mingfei, we're planning a literary society dinner this weekend, Zhao Menghua is treating, it's tomorrow, Saturday afternoon, are you coming?" the group admin Chen Wenwen asked.
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, he didn't really want to participate.
In recent years, he has had almost no contact with his classmates. Most of the time, he either follows Chu Zihang to attend various extracurricular classes or stays at home playing games with Lao Tang.
Occasionally, in between studying, I would think about how to bother my good friend Chen Motong; in short, I had plenty of time.
If Chen Wenwen hadn't personally invited him to join the literature club, he probably wouldn't have even known that there was such a club in his class.
However, Lu Mingfei has a good temper and never knows how to refuse others, so he joined the literary society in the first place and still doesn't know how to refuse activities now.
"You can go."
Seeing his hesitation, Chu Zihang said, "The interview is on Sunday morning. You can attend the gathering on Saturday; the times don't conflict."
"If you get the job, this should be your last time hanging out with them."
Lu Mingfei was initially hesitant, but after hearing this, he thought about it and agreed. He then posted an "ok" emoji in the group chat.
"Tch, Lu Mingfei, you're getting more and more aloof." Little Fairy Su Xiaoqiang immediately made a disdainful sound.
The crowd below echoed the sentiment, leaving Lu Mingfei somewhat bewildered.
Aloof? Him?
How could he not know that he was aloof?
But before he could think of a reply, Chu Zihang had already picked up his coat and was about to leave.
Lu Mingfei quickly stood up to see him off, and asked, "Shall we go for the interview together the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll come pick you up then," Chu Zihang said.
Watching the boy's departing figure, Lu Mingfei scratched his head. Just as he was about to go home, he suddenly saw a boy quietly watching him at the end of the corridor.
The boy looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a pure black evening suit, his youthful face glowing.
The boy looked at him quietly, and he looked at the boy quietly. The two of them just stared at each other like that, letting time pass by.
Lu Mingfei found it strange that such a young child was running around outside alone. Weren't the parents worried?
But he didn't ask anything. He looked at the boy and suddenly felt a sense of calm.
"Brother, are you leaving me?" The boy looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are you leaving?"
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He wanted to say, "I'm not your brother," but looking into the boy's beautiful eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Don't go with her," the boy said. "She'll kill you."
"Who is she?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask, "Who can't she go with?"
But the boy didn't answer him. He gave him a deep look and then disappeared into the darkness.
