Chapter 1540: Is It Related to Your True Identity?
「Didn't see it before, but now I realize Li Yifei is a total girl magnet.」 Jiang Er watched Li Yifei strumming and singing surrounded by girls, couldn't help but sigh. 「Tall, good at sports, lively and sunny personality, loyal to friends, can sing and play piano… won't all the girls at university be charmed by him?」
An Qingyu raised an eyebrow. 「Oh? Do you like this type too?」
「I'm not interested in guys with good athletic abilities, but the singing part is pretty nice…」
「Oh~」
An Qingyu's expression turned somewhat odd.
「Are you jealous?」 Jiang Er's voice carried a hint of playfulness.
「No, why would I be jealous.」
「You're lying! You're totally jealous!」
「……」
An Qingyu's mouth twitched slightly. 「I'm going back…」
「Hehehehe…」
「What are you laughing at?」
「Rare to see you jealous… turns out you're unexpectedly cute!」 Jiang Er's voice gradually turned devious.
A prominent vein popped out on An Qingyu's forehead. She wordlessly increased the wheelchair's speed until it blazed past the road filled with floating music like a gust of wind, even surpassing several cars doing over sixty miles per hour, leaving the pedestrians on both sides stunned in place.
……
「Is everyone in position?」
「I'm on his east side.」
「I'm on the west.」
「I'm on the north.」
「Good, once the crowd disperses, wait for my signal, then strike simultaneously!」 Fang Mo stood in the crowd, eyes locked on the possessed male student, his voice low and steady.
「But… don't you think something's strange?」 Su Zhe's voice carried a hint of confusion.
「What?」
「Why… is he crying?」
With Li Yifei's final strum of the guitar strings, the song ended. He stood up from the stool, smiling and greeting the students gathered nearby. Waves of applause rolled in.
The crowd behind gradually dispersed, while figures approached Li Yifei one by one.
「Hey! You sang so well… can, can I add your WeChat?」
「Ah? Eh hem, sure! Scan my code!」
「Hey, I want to add you too!」
「Haha, everyone can scan.」
「Hey, what's your major?」
「Handsome, want to join our music club?」
「……」
Surrounded by everyone in the center, Li Yifei scratched his head while smiling, answering their questions one by one. The girls who successfully added his contact excitedly pulled their friends along, taking small, shy steps away.
「How about it Zhang Yang! I won!」 Li Yifei patted Zhang Yang's shoulder as the crowd thinned, grinning. 「You bet me I could get ten girls' WeChats in ten minutes, I got over thirty. Are you convinced?!」
「Alright, old Li.」 Zhang Yang couldn't help but clap. 「Our department's welcome party is still missing acts, I'll sign you up when I get back.」
「Welcome party? When?」
「Tomorrow. An act canceled last minute, there's a slot open. You should go for it!」
「Sure… but remember to transfer me the two hundred yuan from our bet!」
「Don't worry, you won't lose out. Come on, let's grab food……」
As Li Yifei was about to leave, a figure quickly pushed through the crowd. He reached out as if to grab Li Yifei's sleeve, face covered in tears:
「Chang Hong!」
His appearance startled Li Yifei, who instinctively stepped back half a pace.
「I say, bro, you must have the wrong person?」
「Now!」
At the same moment, Fang Mo's voice rang out through the reserve team's communicators. Several figures charged toward the possessed male at lightning speed, grabbing his shoulders and restraining him on the spot.
Seeing several people grab the male student, both Li Yifei and Zhang Yang froze. 「Wait… bros, what's going on here?」
「Sorry, my roommate has an episode. We'll take him away now.」 Su Zhe smiled and said.
「Chang Hong!」 The male student struggled in Fang Mo and the others' grip, his crimson eyes fixed intently on Li Yifei as he shouted loudly, 「Chang Hong! Do you know how much I've missed you all these years? I knew you must have survived! Chang Hong……」
Fang Mo, wearing gloves, pressed his hand on the male student's chest. A white shadow separated from the male's body and was restrained together by Su Yuan and Li Zhenzhen.
At such a close distance, everyone could finally see that the white shadow appeared to be a girl, wearing a plain dress in last century style, with a long ponytail. She kept staring at Li Yifei's face, her lips slightly moving, as if trying to say something.
Of course, ordinary people could hardly see her true form. In Zhang Yang's eyes, they had simply carried away a unconscious male student from there.
「Looks like he really did have an episode…」 Zhang Yang shrugged.
Li Yifei stared blankly at the direction they left, his eyes filled with confusion.
Li Yifei's true form was a Nantuo Snake Demon—he was certainly not an ordinary person. He clearly saw the girl's existence and roughly guessed the identity of these young people… but he didn't understand why the girl would mistake him for someone else?
「Li Yifei, Li Yifei?」 Zhang Yang shook Li Yifei. 「What, got scared?」
「No, no I wasn't……」
「Forget about it, let's go eat.」
「Mm.」
……
Tap tap tap——!
In the empty kendo training hall, two figures crossed paths, then quickly separated. The bamboo swords and tree branches collided, producing crisp sounds.
「Haah… your sword is too fast, I can't keep up at all.」
Lu Menglei rubbed her aching wrists, speaking bitterly.
「You've already done very well.」 Cao Yuan nodded. 「For an ordinary person.」
「Saying that as if you're not ordinary… Again!」
Lu Menglei psyched herself up, raised her bamboo sword once more, and charged toward Cao Yuan.
While evading her attacks, Cao Yuan looked into her eyes. After a long silence, he still spoke:
「Senior, I want to tell you something.」
Hearing these words, Lu Menglei's hand holding the bamboo sword trembled slightly. She swallowed audibly. 「What?」
「I might not have time to come here for the next few days.」
「Ah? Why?」
「I have something to attend to.」 Cao Yuan paused. 「I need to find something in Shangjing City.」
「Find something? I can help you look! Wait for me, I'll request leave tomorrow morning. Nobody knows Shangjing better than me!」
「Mm… this matter, you'd better not get involved in.」
Lu Menglei's footsteps faltered. The bamboo sword raised halfway in the air slowly lowered.
The entire kendo training hall fell into silence.
She gazed into Cao Yuan's eyes. After a long while, she finally spoke: 「Perhaps… it's related to your true identity?」
