Scene 6: Stars and Flowers (4)

The black shadow extinguished the Black Widow, pulled the black shotgun out of the back pocket of the motorcycle with a short barrel. This is a very deterrent weapon. The shadow stroked the handle of the gun with a little pride, holding the power of life and death, he had a great sense of glory.

 

He was in a good position, in a dead corner where no one passes.

 

He turned on his mobile phone, dialled a number, then received a voicemail message: "No. 13, your target is the Valhalla, use the prepared identity card to pass through the gate, look for the entrance to the central computer room, then listen to the new Instructions. "

 

He ranked 13th in the team. The last number didn't sound auspicious but made him feels cool. This is not the first time he has been on a mission, he has always been a very particular person. Everyone in the team will follow different instructions and finally join together to avoid being ambushed.

 

"Valhalla." No. 13 read in his heart again.

 

"Oops!" He froze. He brought all his gear, but no map. The campus is full of buildings with similar appearances. Which one is the Valhalla?

 

He doesn’t know the route where ever he goes, which he thought the only disadvantage of himself.

 

"Nah, is it possible for a man to find the way out with his gun?" No. 13 clenched the handle to encourage himself.

 

"But masters don't use violence easily." No. 13 thought again, "If you can send a Ghost to put a nuclear bomb, don't bombard it with the Battle Cruiser."

 

Bugatti came out of the bombed school gate, turned on the highway with mountain wind towards their heads.

 

Because Lu Mingfei was fainted when he entered the campus, this is the first time that Lu Mingfei looked at the campus from the outside. He found that it is located on the mountainside. A ring road passes through the gate and overlooks the valley. The cascades of coniferous forest undulate in the wind like black waves.

 

"Although this campus is called the peak campus, it is not on the top of the mountain but the mountainside, there are the railway station and the valley campus under the mountain." Nuo Nuo said, "Let's go to the top of the mountain."

 

"What's on the top?"

 

"Stars."

 

There were no other cars on the mountain road, only the turn signs illuminated by the lights. Circled up and down, Lu Mingfei can gradually control the car. He turned his head to look at Nuo Nuo, whose long eyelashes fell. Her head tilted aside with a quiet face. For a moment the world was quiet and beautiful, the roar of the engine seemed to go down.

 

The light flashed over the notice board in front: "Please bear in mind if there are bears."

 

"Bears?" Lu Mingfei stunned.

 

"Yes, there are many bears on the mountain." A clear male voice beside him.

 

Lu Mingfei was startled and turned to see Lu Mingze sitting in the front passenger seat, his hands pressed on his knees, like an obedient junior high school student.

 

"Ah! When did you jump up? Can you stop suddenly appearing without a word? It seems haunted, do you know?" Lu Mingfei was sweating coldly.

 

"Look at the road, drive well, turn in front," Lu Mingze said lightly.

 

"Anyway, I only see you in dreams, is it necessary to drive well? Even if we hit a tree, I’ll just wake up! Please, what kind of evil spirit are you entangled in me?" Lu Mingfei was so angry, it doesn't matter at other times, but now it’s driving the great car with the favourite girl on the mountain road, why can’t this guy avoid for a moment?

 

"It's not a complete dream. There’s really a turn sign in front. We will die if you don't take the steering wheel," said the boy.

 

The moment the yellow traffic sign flashed in front of Lu Mingfei's eyes, he burst into a cold sweat and slammed the steering wheel. Fortunately, the Bugatti is first-rate and smoothly swings through a 90-degree curve. If he did that for two seconds late, they would crash down the cliff, but Lu Mingze didn't even blink.

 

"Damn, we almost die! Please don't be so scary, okay? It's all because you and I didn't see clearly!" Lu Mingfei complained.

 

"I'm here to remind you that there is a corner. If I don't, as a rookie driver, you will probably die with your favourite woman." Lu Mingze still hold a poker face.

 

"What? She’s just a schoolmate." Lu Mingfei felt a little guilty. "What do you call her? Woman? What a mature man’s tone!”

 

"These things may be hidden from others, but I’m the exception." Lu Mingze shrugged. "May I help you?"

 

"You are helping me if you don't show up as a ghost."

 

"Remember Nuo Nuo told you what it takes to chase a girl? Music, flowers, and beautiful confession." Lu Mingze ignored Lu Mingfei's word completely.

 

Lu Mingfei froze, "How can you even know that?"

 

"You can use this car's system for music. Would you like me to help you with the confession?"

 

"Pooh!"

 

"Since none of this can help, I'll send you flowers! The new secret is unsealed, 'show me the flowers', read it out like a magic spell. Try it, it's fun. However, it can only be used after an hour. And only tonight." Lu Mingze said, "I do not wish you good luck, because you and she will not end well. "

 

"Then why are you helping me?"

 

"To sympathize, is that ok?" Lu Mingze smiled coldly.

 

Lu Mingfei thought that this guy's talking to much crap that he couldn't help knocking him without thinking. Lu Mingze did not make any protests.

 

Lu Mingfei realized what was wrong. He looked at his hand again, it rested on the headrest of Nuo Nuo's seat. Nuo Nuo's soft, heated face was less than a centimetre away from his hand. She was still asleep, breathing into Lu Mingfei's fist.

 

"Oh! According to the script, this is the time to touch the heroine's face. The heroine suddenly opens her eyes and I shall with her eyes, and then we will be overcharged!"

 

"Damn, Lu Mingze... what a..." Lu Mingfei’s hesitation was going to break the sky.

 

For a long time, he slowly put his hand back, "What an abominable kid."

 

"What kid?" Nuo Nuo woke up and heard Lu Mingfei's mutter.

 

"Nothing, you heard it wrong, I said sheep. A sheep walked past me just now. I don't like this kind of thing that walks silently and I can't notice." Looking ahead, Lu Mingfei held the steering wheel firmly.

 

No. 13 was very proud. He felt like a bat flying in the night, lightly over one roof after another.

 

His friends in Brooklyn called him a "cheetah", but he didn't think it was as cool as a bat with a vampire-like feeling.

 

The campus was much more defensive than expected, but it couldn't stop No. 13. Because No. 13 did not advance from the ground at all, he carried a shotgun, which he bought at a high price from a brother who developed weapons in the army, which could shoot long nails with a rope across dozens of meters into the rocks. No. 13 was passing along the ropes above the students' heads, proudly.

 

He has always believed in himself.

 

The only problem was that he couldn't find the location of his destiny. He stood high on the roof, out of sight, but lost his way on this campus.

 

"This is the time when I mentioned it’s important to get the view!" He muttered secretly.

 

At the end of the circling highway is a stone blocker blocking the road. Lu Mingfei parked the car in front of the stone block.

 

"Turn on the high beam," Nuo Nuo said.

 

The clear beam pierced into the distant sky like a sword and illuminated the entire mountain’s top. The top of the mountain is flat, covered with grass. Springwater emerges from the rocks to form a small mountain lake. After the lake overflows, it goes down the mountain and forms a white waterfall.

 

"There are no stars." Nuo Nuo stretched her body, leaned on the seat to look at the sky.

 

Lu Mingfei thought that’s nonsense, the sky that had just rained was dark. As soon as they left school, he thought that there was nothing to see at the top of the mountain.

 

But why did he drive for her gladly?

 

"It's so bigone," Nuo Nuo said again.

 

"What bigone? Is there a bear?" Lu Mingfei confused.

 

"I mean very quiet," said Nuo Nuo. "Don't you talk to Professor Manstein, it’s the Chinese slang which means quiet? Then he kept talking to the students during the class, please bigone and keep bigone... He thought it was funny, which means he knew slang. "

 

Lu Mingfei covered his face silently. He thought that someone would always tell Professor Manstein that this was complete bullshit. He also took Professor Manstein's lecture, having no idea if he might fail the course.

 

"Do you want to do a foot bath over there?" Nuo Nuo said.

 

After speaking, she just jumped out of the car door in socks, Lu Mingfei followed her through the autumn meadow, followed by the rushing water to the mountain spring. The only light source was Bugatti's headlights behind them; The springs reflected it and the water surface seemed to be plated with silver. Nuo Nuo chose a rock to sit down and saw Lu Mingfei was looking up and down curiously.

 

"What’s wrong with you?"

 

"I was thinking ..." Lu Mingfei told the truth, "Do you want me to turn around to take off your socks?"

 

Nuo Nuo grimaced at him, drew a pair of delicate scissors from her bag, and cut the stockings along with her ankles, revealing bare feet.

 

"It's cold, be brave!" Nuo Nuo said.

 

"As a person who used to swim in the Yangtze River in the winter, how difficult is it to soak feet in cold water?" Lu Mingfei also chose a rock to sit down and took off his socks.

 

The two looked at each other and slowly put their feet into the spring. The cold penetrated the skin from each pore then ran back along the back of the spine. While doing this, they all stared at each other's faces, to see if there was any funny expression change on the other's face. Eventually, the two of them tried to hold back, but the corners of their mouths twitched a bit.

 

"You’re holding!" They both laughed at each other wildly.

 

"It will warm up after a while, but it will be cold again soon. We have to go before it gets cold." Nuo Nuo said, "Did you swim in winter?"

 

"Nah, I am afraid of cold deeply.” Lu Mingfei hugged his arms.

 

Sure enough, as Nuo Nuo said, after the beginning of the cold, the feet gradually warmed up, all the blood was concentrated to heat the feet. Lu Mingfei felt a little comfortable.

 

"Speaking of Caesar, what does it mean?" He chatted with Nuo Nuo randomly, "He asks us to go to the party but didn’t treat us like guests. The party is so big with so many accompany guests and unlimited lobsters. Did he just want to tease us? The roses freaked me out, Fingal said it was for me."

 

"Rose?" Nuo Nuo looked up at Lu Mingfei and laughed.

 

"The roses weren't bought for you, they were bought for me." Nuo Nuo said. "That cocktail prom was not specifically for you. It was a celebration prom for me. It was I who invited you to the party. But Caesar said he would also like to talk to you face to face. "

 

"It wasn't his hospitality, but your idea!" Lu Mingfei nodded like a chicken eating rice. He was very happy about the gracious beauty, "I thought it was a feast teasing me, thus I brought Fingel to protect me."

 

"I'm not kind to you, what are you so excited about?" Nuo Nuo glanced him in a flash.

 

"Am I?" Lu Mingfei blushed, although it was dark at night.

 

"Why are you blushing then?" Nuo Nuo asked.

 

"Being excited!" Lu Mingfei said aloud.

 

"I am kidding. It's so dark that I can't see it," Nuo Nuo said.

 

Only then did Lu Mingfei realize that he was guilty that the lights were shining from behind them; Nuo Nuo didn't even glance at him with split vision.
