A Race to (Be) The Top

Standing at the gate of Yanshan University, Ling Xiaolu saw with his own eyes a boy with hair dyed pale pink, talking and laughing with his companions, passing in front of him.

The eye-catchingness of his companion is not inferior to him in the slightest, with forgiving green hair on his head, and two pinches of peacock blue in his bangs.

Ling Xiaolu rubbed the black hair on the top of his head regretfully. If he had known that the school spirit of Yanda University was so open, he would not have dyed it back.The main reason is that the yellow hair that was dyed before has faded, and after a summer vacation, new hair has grown again, half yellow and not black, which is a bit ugly.

When I talked to my parents the night before and told them that I had changed my number, Ling’s mother insisted that black hair would make him look better, at least it would give the teacher a good first impression—even if it was a fake one. , It will not be too late to slowly discover the true colors in the future.

Ling Xiaolu: ... What a real mother!

The new students register through an automated process. After the device scans the pupils, the dormitory number is automatically assigned to the new students.

The dormitory is a capsule dormitory for one person. It is decorated in plain white and has complete basic living facilities. Freshmen only need to bring the most basic personal items to move in. There is even an intelligent voice butler.

At noon, the voice butler reminded him to eat, and as soon as Ling Xiaolufang left the dormitory door, he bumped into a classmate in the opposite room.

The opposite door is cheerful, and greeted warmly when they met for the first time: "Hi! Do you live in 1113? I live in 1115. We are destined!"

Ling Xiaolu froze at the moment, staring absently at his distinctive pair of peach blossom eyes. Although he didn't see it many times, he was very impressed.

He only thought that Ling Xiaolu was shy, and introduced himself: "My name is Chang Huanxi, what's your name?"

Ling Xiaolu looked down and saw the hand he extended, he hesitated to hold it: "Ling Xiaolu, the way of the road."

"Ling Xiaolu, we'll be good neighbors from now on." Chang Huanxi stopped shaking hands suddenly, "Did I meet you somewhere? You look familiar."

"No," Ling Xiaolu categorically denied, "I, I am the face of the public."

Chang Huanxi no longer struggled with this question: "You are also a freshman, are you going to eat? I know that there is a cafeteria in this school that is very delicious!"

Ling Xiaolu nodded silently.

Chang Huanxi hugged his shoulder happily: "Great, I was worried that I didn't have many friends when I first arrived here, and I felt that I was very close to you when I saw you."

Ling Xiaolu thought it was funny, why did Chang Huanxi worry about having no friends?Everywhere he goes out and walks around, he knows a platoon, and it's not a certain person...

There were people coming and going at the entrance of the second cafeteria, even if Ji Meng stood among the crowd, he still attracted the attention of girls and even a few boys because of his outstanding appearance and tall and straight figure.

But his indifferent expression and lightly furrowed brows clearly conveyed his attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away. There were many people coming and going to peep, but no one dared to strike up a conversation.

Ji Meng received the text message and waited for Chang Huanxi here, but the other party didn't arrive for a long time.He scanned the crowd impatiently, but saw a familiar figure from the back that made his heart stop.

The figure flashed past in the crowd, and Ji Meng anxiously pushed aside obstacles one by one in front of him, and finally grabbed the man's wrist from behind.

The person caught by him turned around in shock, and when he saw Ji Meng, the expression on his face changed from shock to shock to disbelief.

Strange black hair, strange faces.

Ji Meng realized that he had admitted the wrong person, but for some reason he didn't want to let go.

"Have I... seen you somewhere?"

Chang Huanxi jumped out suddenly, and hugged Ling Xiaolu affectionately: "No, no, brother Xiaolu is the face of the public, and I almost admitted my mistake just now."

Ji Meng's heart twitched: "What do you call him?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my classmate in the dormitory opposite, Ling Xiaolu, the way of the road, right?" Chang Huanxi turned to ask him.

Ling Xiaolu nodded with difficulty: "Mmm..."

"..." Ji Meng was forced to admit that everything was in his imagination, and slowly let go of the opponent's wrist, but he still felt a bit reluctant.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

Ling Xiaolu quickly shook his head again.

"This is my best friend, Ji Meng," Chang Huanxi introduced to Ling Xiaolu again, "It so happens that we got admitted to the same school, but he lives in the same building as us."

Ling Xiaolu forced a smile with difficulty: "...Hello."

Ji Meng returned to the Ji Meng who was a stranger, and only nodded indifferently at him.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Regarding the two "strangers I just met", Ji Meng's performance seemed very ignorant of the world.

Fortunately, there was Chang Huanxi, an active person, who dragged Ling Xiaolu and followed Ji Meng into the second canteen.

"Don't mind, he just lost his love the day before yesterday, and he's in a bad mood."

Ling Xiaolu peeked at the back of the person in front, thinking it was a coincidence, so did I.

The cafeteria staff was still the half-body robot from last time, and Ling Xiaolu quietly followed Ji Meng until he finally couldn't help but speak when he was buying buns:

"This is not tasty."

Ji Meng seemed to be aware of his existence until now.

"how do you know?"

"I..." Ling Xiaolu can actually think of many reasons, such as hearing about it on social platforms, or knowing the seniors here.

But before he had time to say any of them, Ji Meng had already paid the money, and he didn't intend to listen from the beginning.

Seeing Ling Xiaolu's hesitant expression, Ji Meng explained for the first time: "I have eaten."

Ling Xiaolu: ...That's not because it's too bad to eat, you eat it when I can't eat it!People can be fooled, but why self-abuse!

"Come here! This way!" Chang Huanxi found a place and called them over.

Ling Xiaolu sat down opposite him, and left Chang Huanxi's narration position to Ji Meng. Worried that he might be poisoned by food, he always secretly glanced obliquely, and noticed the ring on Ji Meng's middle finger after going back and forth.

Although I have seen it many times in the game, it is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. Even when I played "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of Butterfly" with Ji Meng, his hands were bare.

He then went to look at Chang Huanxi, and as expected, the other party was also wearing the same one.

Thinking that it was a ring worth 500 million yuan, about 1000 million yuan was sitting opposite him at the moment, Ling Xiaolu looked back and forth enviously several times.

Chang Huanxi looked down at his gaze, saw the ring on her hand, then turned her head to look at her brother, recalled Ling Xiaolu's thoughtful eyes, and suddenly realized something.

"Xiaolu, don't get me wrong!"

Ling Xiaolu:?

"This is not a couple's ring! The two of us are not in that kind of relationship!"

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Chang Huanxi didn't want to be misunderstood by her new neighbors: "Let me tell you, my brother is actually..."

Ji Meng: "Chang Huanxi."

Chang Huanxi, who was interrupted, swallowed back the second half of the original sentence, "...I am a game lover, and what we wear is the peripherals of that game. Have you heard of "Elf Contract"? Xinshan of."

"I have heard it, but do you usually wear it when you are not playing?"

"It's okay to wear it, and it's easy to lose it when you take it off. Don't think it's small, it's worth five..."

Ji Meng: "Chang Huanxi!"

"...a hundred dollars!"

Ling Xiaolu: ...

Liar!That bracelet is more than five hundred!

"How is it? Are you interested in playing together?" Chang Huanxi stared at Ling Xiaolu expectantly.

"Uh," Ling Xiaolu unconsciously poked at the food on the dinner plate, "Let me take a look."

Chang Huanxi was very enthusiastic: "If you come to play, I will give you a set of peripherals!"

"...a 500 yuan ring?"

"Hey," Chang Huanxi waved his hand in disgust, "I'll give you an 800 yuan bracelet!"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

"But I want to play Net Zero's "VR Onmyoji" more."

"Hey," Chang Huanxi once again disliked, "What game, hot chicken."

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

"Listen to me, "Elf Contract" is more fun, if you want Ji Meng to give you a set of peripherals, he has many at home."

Ji Meng couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you shut up when you eat!"

Chang Huanxi was honest, but she still covered her mouth and whispered, "Remember to come and play!"

Ling Xiaolu didn't know what to answer, but fortunately, Chang Huanxi's cell phone rang, and then he buried himself in sending text messages. Finally, everyone was able to eat quietly, only the text messages rang from time to time.

When the voice rang No.18, Ji Meng frowned: "Why are you so busy?"

"Isn't this the little girl from last time? It's a coincidence that she was also admitted to this school. It turns out that the last time the two families made an appointment for dinner was to let me take care of her more in the new school."

"The one on the blind date?"

"It's not a blind date!" After Chang Huanxi shouted, she immediately switched to a sad face, "What can I take care of her, I'm also a freshman."

After finishing speaking, the text message arrived again, Chang Huanxi glanced at it, and stood up resignedly.

"She said that the voice steward in her dormitory is broken, I'll go and have a look, you two take your time."

Ling Xiaolu almost choked, he didn't expect to reunite with Ji Meng so soon, and he was not mentally prepared to be alone with them.

I'm afraid Ji Meng himself thought so too, and it was also a psychological challenge for him to have a meal with someone he just met as a person with social difficulties.

Ji Meng might have thought of this too, he frowned, but he didn't stop him.

Sure enough, after Chang Huanxi left, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Ling Xiaolu wanted to stir up the topic several times, but he gave up after seeing Shang Ji Meng's frosty expression.

I don't know if it is Ling Xiaolu's illusion, this Ji Meng is more difficult to get close to than the previous him.

The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys when I was with Lubi were deleted together with Lubi.The current Ji Meng artificially built a wall around him to prevent all outsiders from entering.

At his wit's end, Ling Xiaolu pretended to play on his mobile phone to ease his embarrassment, and posted anonymously on the social networking sites he usually frequents:

— Help!What should I do if my boyfriend has amnesia and doesn't recognize me?

This bloody question quickly attracted a lot of replies, some of which were so outrageous that Ling Xiaolu couldn't help laughing out loud. When he didn't notice, Ji Meng glanced at him, wondering what this man was up to.

"Student! Be careful!" A cafeteria worker rushed over straight, bumped the table, knocked off Ling Xiaolu's cell phone, and almost overturned his dinner plate.

"Oops," said the worker stiffly, "my track is slipping a little."

Ling Xiaolu is speechless, so don't buy a tracked robot just to save money!

"I'm so sorry!"

"It's all right." Ling Xiaolu looked down for his mobile phone, only to find that it had slid to the opposite side of the table and stopped at Ji Meng's feet impartially.

Ji Meng also saw it, picked it up with his long hand, glanced over it inadvertently, and then paused.

Ling Xiaolu was suddenly nervous, he didn't see anything!

Ji Meng returned the phone as if nothing had happened, and Ling Xiaolu thanked him, but he was actually observing secretly, whether he saw it or not.

Seeing that Ji Meng didn't react further, Ling Xiaolu heaved a sigh of relief, he probably didn't see clearly, otherwise he would be too ashamed.

"Well, I'm done eating." Ling Xiaolu was thinking whether he should go to the other side, or boldly ask each other for a walk after dinner.

Ji Meng stood up, but didn't leave again, Ling Xiaolu pondered for a while, did this mean he was waiting for him?

Sure enough, Ji Meng waited for him to stand up before walking out, and Ling Xiaolu followed happily, which was a hint that we could make an appointment—how about visiting the new campus together?It's the most logical excuse.

A group of people gathered under the tree outside the cafeteria, causing every student who walked out of the cafeteria to subconsciously follow their gaze and look up at the tree.

Ling Xiaolu also raised his head and saw a kitten on the tree. Somehow, he got up the tree, but he didn't dare to come down. He meowed anxiously on the branch.

The students were discussing where to get a ladder and save the cat.Ling Xiaolu looked at the surrounding environment, and carefully observed the height of the tree, and thought he could try it.

"I'll try it."

Ji Meng was puzzled: "Try what?"

Ling Xiaolu directly used actions instead of answers. He first ran up the tree next to him, ran vertically for more than one meter, then bent his knees to borrow strength, jumped up, turned around in the air, and firmly grabbed the trunk of the tree where the cat was.

This set of movements took only two seconds, and it successfully aroused the exclamation of all the students on the ground.

"Students are amazing!"

"A martial arts expert?"

Ling Xiaolu raised his head, and there was only a meter or so away from the cat, which was a trivial matter for someone like him who worked on a small house.

So the students below looked at this man, and he climbed up like a monkey flexibly around the tree, stepped on the branches of the tree carefully, picked up the cat squatting on the branch, and put the little guy into the hood behind inside.

Everyone couldn't help applauding, only Ji Meng heard the sound of a branch breaking.

"careful!"

The tree branch couldn't bear the weight of an adult, snapped off, and everyone exclaimed.

Just when everyone thought that the heroic classmate who saved the cat would fall, Ling Xiaolu went over with his hands behind his back, protected the hood, leaned back, performed a standard 360-degree backflip in the air, and landed firmly.

Such a high distance, and this kind of sudden situation, one person and one cat were unharmed.Everyone now really believes that he is a hidden martial arts master.

"Student, are you a traditional martial arts student?"

"Have you ever practiced light kung fu?"

"Unexpectedly, in 2415, there are still people inheriting the quintessence of the country."

Ling Xiaolu waved his hand modestly: "I don't know martial arts, but it's true that I have practiced it. Don't imitate it."

Ji Meng stood in front of him: "It was very dangerous just now."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can go up."

Ling Xiaolu took the cat out of the hat, and as soon as the little guy saw the light of day, he immediately jumped off his hand and ran away without looking back.

This little heartless person doesn't know how to say thank you.

Ling Xiaolu looked at the direction where the cat left with a smile on his face, and the classmates who gathered here also dispersed one after another, but Ji Meng hesitated to speak.

Ling Xiaolu knew Ji Meng very well, and he could tell at a glance that he had something to say.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

Ji Meng hesitated for a while, then said again: "Do you really have a boyfriend who lost his memory?"

Ling Xiaolu: "..."

Gan!
