Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 36 Interview (VI)
Seeing that Lu Mingfei didn't reply, Nuo Nuo bared his teeth, opened his arms, put his arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulders like two good brothers, and pulled her towards him.
"How about it, junior sister? Do you want to come to Kassel and hang out with me? I'll protect you!" Nono raised her thumb, and there seemed to be stars twinkling on her big white teeth.
How can this be called a queen? If this were in a comic, she would be a 100% ironclad Big Brother!
Well, Lu Mingfei had to admit that although she was a little unhappy at the beginning because of her senior brother's problem, generally speaking she and this senior sister got along quite well. Nuonuo happened to be a little witch who could hit it off with her, and the two of them spoke in perfect harmony, and it would be no problem for them to perform on the Spring Festival Gala as crosstalk partners to replace Guo Degang.
"Then, senior sister, can we start the interview?" Finally getting to the point, when Lu Mingfei took the initiative to ask this question, she was actually a little timid, she felt that she was not ready yet.
"Oh." Nuonuo nodded and glanced at the door of the conference room inconspicuously. At this time, Jiude Aki and Ye Sheng must be interviewing other people inside. Professor Guderian could not be present for the time being due to schedule. If Lu Mingfei was allowed to go in at this moment, the newly received junior sister would find out that the senior sister was actually a bad woman who played with the hearts of young girls.
So, just pretend to do it all at once. At worst, I can just take the results over myself. To put it bluntly, the interview in Kassel is just that simple. You can tell the trick just by taking a look.
"Do you... believe that there are super powers in this world?" Nuonuo asked mysteriously. Her voice was so soft that even if Lu Mingfei was face to face with her, she would miss it if she wasn't paying attention, as if it was an ancient magic spell that would open nine and three quarters to Hogwarts.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. She had thought of many interview questions and even practiced The Great Faculty for a whole night, ready to counter the interviewer's sword-piercing heart with the magic of Tai Chi Bagua. She was confident that she could answer any strange questions, but what about this superpower that sounded like a joke? Could it be that the research topic of Kassel College was whether superpowers could reproduce such a ridiculous thing in humans?
She suddenly recalled the elevated road in the rainstorm, the demons that Chu's father called Deadpool, and the god Odin riding on an eight-legged horse. The nightmare-like past still sneaked into her mind in the noise of the rain at midnight, and she couldn't get rid of it. Chu Zihang once said that Kassel was a choice. Once you come here, you can't turn back.
Is the meaning behind that sentence the reason why Nuonuo asked this question?
"I believe it." Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously.
"Why?"
"If there were no superpowers in this world, then Star Platinum and Cardcaptor Sakura would not exist. Even though I don't have such powers, I hope that they both really existed in some unknown place . Then maybe one day in the future I can get close to that world full of Stand users or Clow Cards, and fly around on a key that contains the power of a seal."
Lu Mingfei expressed her thoughts seriously and looked into Nuonuo's eyes, thinking that Nuonuo would probably laugh at her for still believing in magical girls at such an age.
But Nono said nothing, as if the little witch who was keen on teasing her a few minutes ago had turned into Professor McGonagall, who was wearing glasses and looking extremely serious while sitting in the classroom in the Magic Tower.
"The next question is, are you lonely?" Nono continued to ask.
Lu Mingfei thought, what's the point of this? The previous question was nonsensical, and the next question is about life? It feels like the next question will be about who killed me and who I killed. If Nuonuo really asks her this, should Lu Mingfei cooperate and slap herself to death?
Honestly speaking, this is not an easy question to answer, because people who say they are lonely may not understand what true loneliness is, and truly lonely people will put on a smile and tell everyone that they are OK. Lu Mingfei began to ask herself whether she was a lonely person.
Speaking of friends, it seems that there are indeed not many. After all, Shilan Middle School is an aristocratic school. The students there are either rich second-generations or beautiful and wealthy girls. Cinderellas like Lu Mingfei who are as poor as her are extremely rare. Of course, no one wants to play with a country girl who has financial resources, vision, and even can't pronounce the names of one or two luxury goods.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with this. At least Chen Wenwen was willing to have her as a member of the literature club and would come to ask her privately how she felt about reading the last book. When she got home, she had a computer that she could touch at any time to play. Landing on the sunset's mark and flirting with Lu Mingze, who was separated by a wall, was the happiest thing for Lu Mingfei in the past few months. Every time she smiled in front of the computer, she looked like a bright sunflower.
Am I considered a lonely person? Even if I am unhappy, I can still find fun for myself. I have never felt that there is anything bad in my life. The only regret is that my parents are traveling around the world and are not with me.
"I..." She opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was fine, but when she saw Nuonuo's eyes, she couldn't continue. Nuonuo seemed to have the magical power to see through people's hearts, deep in her pupils. If she accidentally looked into their eyes, she would never be able to pretend lies in front of her again.
Yes, there are some things she has forgotten. She forgot that she was sitting on the dim rooftop of the family building, overlooking the bright lights of the city center. Everyone there was immersed in luxury goods and fancy hotels. No one knew that there was a little girl named Lu Mingfei who was peeking at them. She felt that world was so far away from her.
She forgot that she had always been an ugly duckling with no money and no power. Her only advantage was that she could play games. Every time there was a party, everyone had to go Dutch. She had no money, so she could only smile faintly and say that her aunt didn't allow her to go, and pretended not to hear the whispers behind her back saying that she was a pauper.
She forgot that she was gradually beginning to fall in love with someone because of her surging hormones, but he was so outstanding and brilliant that she felt like she was about to be sunburned to ashes just by peeking at his brilliance from afar.
Cinderella's world has fairy crystal shoes and pumpkin carriages, but Lu Mingfei's world has nothing. She has prayed countless times before going to bed about how wonderful it would be if she were a princess in a fairy tale, but when she woke up the next day, all she saw was the tinkling wind chimes in front of the window.
She had never told anyone about these experiences and thoughts. She would just toss and turn in the moonlight, hugging her pillow, unable to fall asleep, and she couldn't tell why.
Is this what loneliness is? It sounds like a terrible word, as if these two small words contain all the negative emotions. Just mentioning it will make you deeply sucked into the vortex called loneliness, and you will never be able to get out of those sad memories.
