Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!

"You really like roller coasters?" Chu Zihang steadily pressed down on the bar. "I haven't had a chance to thank you after Six Flags. Thank you for saving us."

"Hey, we're all classmates from Kassel College, and we used to be classmates too. How are you going to thank me? Take me to the aquarium or the movie theater?" Xia Mi turned around and winked.

"Speaking of which, are there any new Doraemon movies coming out recently?" She got more and more excited as she talked, reminiscing about the past.

Not only were they classmates in Kassel, but they were also classmates in junior high and high school... Chu Zihang was slightly taken aback.

It must have been another slip of the tongue, right?

No, Xia Mi said they used to be classmates with Shi Lan.

But why did he have no impression of Xia Mi at all? Logically speaking, Xia Mi's appearance is the kind that a normal person would never forget after seeing her once, and she can talk nonsense and jump around so much, so he shouldn't be an exception.

Chu Zihang fell into deep thought. Those fragmented, ancient memories were like a spring flowing from the crevices of rocks. He traced the memories along the spring, like when he was a child and followed his father to collect seashells on the beach at low tide.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he really can't remember.

It seems like I really did go to see Doraemon with this bouncy guy in front of me once.

No matter how I think about it, it all seems like something very distant and vague.

Xia Mi leaned on the railing, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied: "If you want to give an answer, please do so as soon as possible. I'm the kind of person who will stomp my foot and run away if I can't wait for something I want to wait for."

Chu Zihang looked up: "Then... let's go to the aquarium next time."

Aquariums are probably more fun for girls, especially girls who like to run around like rabbits.

Xia Mi pursed her lips and put her hand on Chu Zihang's shoulder: "Aquariums are great! If we meet dolphins that can perform, they can do backflips and balance balls for us. If we meet dolphins that can't perform, I can put on an animal show for you. The dolphins will give us dried fish, and I'll give you movie tickets."

Chu Zihang imagined Xia Mi doing a backflip while running around with a ball on her head, and surprisingly, it didn't seem out of place at all; it was something she could do.

"I really want to say more. I have a feeling that if I don't say something now, I'll never have another chance," Xia Mi added softly. "My family says that I've always had incredibly accurate premonitions since I was little. They say I'm a born fortune teller, and that's exactly what a psychic girl like me is all about."

"Senior brother, you won't mind that I'm a chatterbox, will you?" she asked hesitantly.

At this moment, she suddenly stopped jumping around, and beneath the question lay frustration, like a rabbit that suddenly quieted down and let you touch its fluffy ears, handing over its soft side to you.

Chu Zihang shook his head and remained silent. He was just occasionally a little slow in this regard, not a complete blockhead who knew nothing at all.

He knew that when girls said this, what they really meant was a half-coquettish threat like "You're dead if you dare to complain"... That's what it said in the seventh volume of the Kassel Dating Formula Book.

The author of this serialized book is "Flame Demon Poet," which is Fingel's pen name. His books are somewhat famous in the academy because of their frequent hiatuses and habitual suspense.

In this dangerous and uncertain situation, my thoughts slowly started to wander a little inappropriately.

The surroundings were dimly lit, with no lights, only the sound of water dripping from the cracks in the tunnel above. The dripping sound resembled footsteps, but in reality, apart from the two of them, probably no one had visited this place for decades.

It was as if the whole world had shrunk down to just the two of them.

It's a strange illusion that I shouldn't have but can't shake off.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Mi seemed to suddenly gain confidence, her eyebrows dancing with excitement as she put her hands on her hips: "If you don't find me annoying, then hurry up and find a topic to talk about! I can tell you clearly have something you really want to say to me."

"I……"

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Junior sister... tell me, how can someone like another person without losing themselves? How can you help someone who feels hopeless... give them hope, or at least give them a little more hope?"

Xia Mi's expression froze when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she pondered for a long time.

Chu Zihang waited quietly for her reply, without urging her at all.

"There's hope... Wow, this topic is so grandiose and perfect for a middle school essay. Speaking of which, I used to be the kind of person whose melancholic essays were often used as model examples by Teacher Shilan." She looked up at the tunnel above and suddenly became serious. "I think you need to understand something before answering this question."

"Your silly friend, do you want hope for his life or hope for pursuing that girl? These are two different things, you must distinguish between them, this is the basics." Teacher Xia Mi adjusted her non-existent glasses frame and seriously instructed Chu, who was completely ignorant and incompetent in a certain area.

Chu Zihang pondered, "I wanted to give him hope in his life, but it turns out the two... are they contradictory?"

"Conflict! Super conflict! It's like an irreconcilable enemy!" Xia Mi grinned angrily, as if she were a strict homeroom teacher looking at a terrible student.

"Look at the Brazilian tortoise, it's focused on something, so you want to help it accomplish it. But do you think it will become proud and full of hope after it succeeds? You can't even tell whether the Brazilian tortoise you care about wants to lie in a puddle or if it sees a puddle while sunbathing and just starts to 'unthinking'."

"It's really hard for me to tell the difference." Chu Zihang tried his best to think it over but still couldn't find a solution, so he humbly continued to ask, "Then what should he do?"

He hoped Lu Mingfei would become awesome and do things that he himself couldn't, but he didn't think about what others really wanted.

"Only heaven knows... Are you looking for a strategist for Senior Brother Lu? Or trying to persuade him? Wow, what a great brotherhood! I was so surprised." Xia Mi leaned closer, looking dejected, tilting her head and squinting her eyes.

As the girl approached, Chu Zihang smelled a refreshing citrus scent, somewhat like jasmine, with dense white blossoms. The girl, dressed in a bohemian long dress, pulled out a tissue from somewhere and wiped the blood off his body, revealing an adorable, cat-like gaze.

When he was shoulder to shoulder with Xia Mi, he had the illusion that he was in a flower shop in a small alley. Inside the flower shop, red and green decorations were everywhere, and cats and dogs were playing. Xia Mi snuggled up to a pet dog and then grabbed the back of the cat's neck, rubbing against it until he was covered in orange fur.

Shortly after the atmosphere between the two suddenly quieted down.

"Senior brother, you seem to be in good spirits, enjoying the company of beauties under the flowers and moon. Poor me, your humble brother, am filled with sorrow day and night..." A plaintive voice sounded from behind them.

Behind the repair vehicle, a man stood like a wooden stake, his trench coat fluttering in the wind, his left eye shining like a light bulb in the dim tunnel.

In fact, his appearance was indeed like a giant, sentient light bulb that had come to life after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
