Chapter 14

My mind was full of all kinds of guesses about Meng Yichen, which made me not know what the teacher said in class.

She didn't give me the answer in the end, and should say that she didn't say a word to me all day after that.

Until school was over, she and I were the only ones left in the classroom.

The air was as viscous as liquid, and the suffocating silence invaded the classroom silently. The afterglow of the blood-red sunset lengthened the shadows of Meng Yichen and me, giving me a strange psychedelic illusion.

The glow of light reflected on my face, and I lowered my head and thought about how to break the deadlock naturally.

Squeak

The corners of the table rubbed against the ground, making a harsh noise that made people's teeth sore, and Meng Yichen stood up from her seat.

You……… I have never been an indecisive person, but things in the world are often like this. They are never transferred by human will. What has happened and is happening always objectively affects people's decisions.

Although I knew the other party was waiting for me to speak, I lost the courage to continue when I spoke.

In the dark, I always feel that once I learn the truth, my life will never return to the original peace. Under the hidden surface, the huge malicious intention from this world will swallow everything I have uncontrollably.

And these absurd ideas are based only on Meng Yichen's strange actions.

What exactly do you want to say?I no longer struggle and ask a broader question.

Ariel Mei’s flawless fingertips slashed from one corner of the table to another corner, and the pleated skirt swung gently as she moved, and her white and delicate legs slowly approached me.

Standing in front of me, looking down at me in my seat expressionlessly.

The breeze blew across the windowsill, pulling up the sky blue sunshade and swinging softly.The solidified honey air between me and her began to flow, and the dust particles visible to the naked eye were shining brightly.

Her hair was flying, her expression was calm, and her amber eyes stared straight at my face, as if she wanted to touch my soul through my body.

I looked at her, waiting for the answer.

If there is a third party present, the picture in his eyes should be quite beautiful.

Moreover, are there really any tricks and tricks in the world that can make such exquisite and beautiful dolls?

I had some inappropriate thoughts.

With eyes facing each other, Meng Yichen sighed.

When I didn't say it.Her answer surprised me.

I have to admit that I breathed a sigh of relief.There is no reason, it just feels much more relaxed.

Why?I asked.

Meng Yichen was speechless.

Are you human?

I asked very seriously.

This problem looks weird in any case. How could a normal carbon-based creature ask another question that is completely the same as the carbon-based creature, whether it is on the outside or inside?

She didn't speak immediately, her fingers pounding on the table with rhythmic fingers, as if evaluating something.

no.

I'm not surprised, nor do I think I'm joking.Waiting silently for her to finish speaking.

But it is not a so-called robot.Meng Yichen seemed to have guessed what I thought and added rigorously.It should be said that it is not exactly.

I didn't understand what she meant, but I didn't delve into it.Moderate curiosity can always prevent yourself from getting involved in the meaningless vortex at critical moments.

Let's believe you for now.In order for my peaceful life to avoid any changes, he said compromisely.

Besides, even if Meng Yichen is really not a human, what does it have to do with me?

At best, she and I have a slightly better relationship than ordinary classmates. It is also a good idea to define a safe range for each other and live their own lives without disturbing each other.

You can choose not to believe it.Meng Yichen sorted out her hair that was scattered in her ears.

I hope you can keep this restraint.

She said firmly, as if she was a wise old man who saw through time and space. Every sentence was like a warning quote in a fable, vaguely indicating the end of my future.

The indescribable anxiety was pressing on my heart, and I clearly felt the oppression of yearning for approaching step by step, and the irresistible fate controlled me toward the established ending.

I will.My firm eyes looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes. I didn't know what it meant, let alone what it meant.

I hope so.Meng Yichen retreated to her seat and picked up her schoolbag.

Looking at her every move, I no longer have the desire to speak.He quietly watched her back disappear outside the classroom door.

…………

What are you thinking?

In the dim and dark classroom, I sat motionless in my seat, repeatedly considering my conversation with Meng Yichen.

Li Hongying put her hands behind her back, supported her on the podium, leaning slightly against the edge, and her legs overlapped, and her enchanting curves like a water snake were even more charming.

What time is now?The sunset that had been setting for a long time emitted the final light, and the shadow was divided into two parts: light and dark with the center of the classroom.

Has it been so long before I knew it?

Now?She turned on her phone.It's half past six.

Taking advantage of the bleak setting sun outside the window, I looked up at Li Hongying in the shadow.

The ambiguous light made her face unclear. Her exaggerated fiery red wavy curly hair draped over her shoulders. Even such a dark environment was still extremely vivid.

I suddenly had an illusion, was Li Hongying's eye-catching red hair born like this, as unrestrained and free as her personality and full of strange mystery.

If this is true, the blood of the gypsy must be flowing in her body, otherwise how could it be proved that her occasionally exuded behavior was so volatile.

I was just about to applaud my wonderful reasoning.

When did you make an appointment?The messy thoughts flashed through my mind.

Seven o'clock.She said calmly.

………… Half an hour, isn’t that sure I can’t get it?

rest assured.She saw through my thoughts.It must be too late.

I don't understand why she was so confident, of course this question didn't last long.

The answer soon came to me.

Is this your car?I squatted at the school gate, and a bright yellow supercar parked not far away. I looked at Li Hongying, who looked arrogant in the driver's seat in shock.

The streamlined top-level body, spinned conical front, extremely technologically beautiful headlights, the chassis close to the ground, and the loud sound of the engine in the ears.

The metal beast in front of me was like a female cheetah, roaring and running at full speed just after a command.

Is it awesome?She gently lifted her sunglasses with her fingers, raised her narrow and charming corners slightly, and said proudly holding the steering wheel.It was not enough to just say it, so I slammed the accelerator twice.

I carried my schoolbag and squatted on the dusty ground, tilting my head to speak.

My image is probably quite stupid now.

It's done yet.I said stubbornly.But my heart is filled with criticism of the extravagant and enjoyment style of capitalism.

Li Hongying shook her head without comment, hooked her fingers at me, and signaled me to get in the car.

I faced the attention of the crowd around me, patted the dust that did not exist on my body, and opened the door and got into the car.

The leather seats are perfectly ergonomically wrapped around the back, and although the space is smaller than expected, the comfort level makes up for this flaw well.

In the confined space, the deep orchid fragrance on Li Hongying's body is much stronger, and more of it is the tobacco smell that makes me familiar with.

The smell of tobacco that can't be covered by perfume shows that she smokes a lot.

Is it time to be sure?In the completely dark environment, the dazzling cold indicator light on the dashboard in the car became the only light source in the car.

Are you doubting its performance?Li Hongying looked at me with contempt and slapped the steering wheel vigorously.Although the car is not mine, I feel a little distressed.

I'm not questioning the car... Before I finished speaking, Li Hongying stepped on the accelerator.The other half's words were swallowed back to their stomachs by sudden acceleration. This girl probably did it on purpose.

And just a few minutes later, the second half of the sentence I didn't have time to say was fulfilled.

Look.Li Hongying is obviously a person who lacks life experience.

In the crowded lane hundreds of meters ahead, among the various cars, this yellow and cool sports car stands out, making other vehicles look here with a playful look.

I didn’t expect that the owner who could afford such an expensive sports car would also obediently get stuck in the traffic during the evening rush hour.I have no shortage of malicious speculations on their thoughts.

So you didn't expect similar situations at all?I asked.

Her annoyed expression betrayed her, indeed in an unplanned situation.

I don't usually drive.Li Hongying pulled out her last cigarette irritably, pinched the flat cigarette box vigorously, and pressed the button of the cigarette lighter with her right hand at the same time.

well.Then why did you buy it?I really don't understand the world of rich people.

I didn’t buy the car, it was my 30th birthday gift given to me by my old man.She guessed what I wanted to say and explained.

Click

Li Hongying picked up the heated cigarette lighter, and the burning red electric wire easily lit the cigarette. She took a deep breath.His frown brow stretched out and continued.

I don't like driving, I usually ride a small electric donkey to school.

Then yours is simple enough.My tone is quite sour.

Yes.Li Hongying deliberately pretended to be stupid, choking me so hard that she couldn't speak.

Her talent in anger is beyond her reach, and I think deeply.

How long will it take for us to get stuck?

This is not accurate.I replied angrily.

You can't blame me either.Li Hongying made a shameless argument.

I really didn't have the strength to tease her anymore, so I simply ignored her.

His eyes were turned out of the window.

The dense steel jungle is separated by the road, and the figures in the office buildings are shaking. The busy day seems to have just begun now.

The brightly lit city is a mechanical beast that never stops. Countless people serve as fuel to support this huge body and push forward. No one can stop its pace. It expands and swallows endlessly like a perpetual motion machine.

I was in it and felt sad inexplicably.

A familiar scene flashed from my mind.

The night sky is surrounded by huge light curtains of light, black metal buildings are crowded and arranged, and a large number of fluorescent particles form huge virtual human figures. The same movements are constantly repeated, and the red and blue fonts are flashing intertwined with its movements.

The dark gray tracks crisscrossing between the buildings, trains travel at high speed.

The dazzling flying vehicles in the air kept shuttleing.

On the dark corner of the street, a transparent ionic screen played a short sex video, lilac liquid flowed out of the exposed cables on the screen, a humanoid creature deep in the street injected red potion into its body with its completely mechanized arms, steam sprayed out from behind its head after the injection of the potion, and a series of roars of unknown significance came out of its mouth.

Whose memory is that?

The pain that I can't describe, that efficient and advanced city is immersed in my memory as if it were immersive.

What's wrong?Li Hongying saw that my face was pale, and she snatched out the cigarette butts and asked worriedly.

Motion sickness.Press the temple and rub it hard to relieve it slightly.

Be patient.She opened a small gap in the car window.

Um.Fresh air circulates, strange emotions gradually disappear.

The thinking becomes active.

I vaguely feel that this series of memories may be related to Meng Yichen, but reason prevented me from thinking further. I still understand the truth that curiosity kills cats.

Just treat it as watching a movie.Self-comfortable thoughts.

Is it better?Li Hongying looked ahead without looking sideways.

Much better.I nodded and said.

The blocked roads seemed to be unblocked, and she stopped talking to me and focused on driving.

I try not to think about the bizarre encounters I encountered today, and try to return to my original life trajectory.
