Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 127 Chu Zihang's Summer Heartbeat (Part 2)
"A hybrid that specializes in hunting beautiful girls? Sounds like Jack the Ripper." Xia Mi commented. She and Lu Mingfei broke a piece of cake and ate it together. Chu Zihang could hear a crunching sound on both sides of his forehead, like a hamster chewing.
"It's different. Jack killed prostitutes. He specifically targeted young ladies from prominent families." Lu Mingfei rarely had the opportunity to show off her knowledge. It was usually difficult for her to get a word in with Chu Zihang, an encyclopedia automatic relaxation machine. But this time it was her professional field, because she had played a detective game adapted from Jack's case before, so she knew a lot about this killer who was famous in the British world a hundred years ago.
"Let's go out and buy a wedding dress tomorrow." Chu Zihang has already memorized all the mission information in his mind.
The air was silent for a few seconds... Xia Mi covered her face silently, Lu Mingfei blinked her eyes, and the little drama in her head began to run wild.
Huh? This is Chu Shi Zihang's argument... Doesn't it mean that the girls here should wear wedding dresses and serve as bait to carry out the mission?
Happiness came a little too suddenly, and pink bubbles began to bubble out of Lu Mingfei's head. What's the saying? A wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a girl, so every girl cherishes it very much. When choosing, she will not only compare prices from three stores, but also from three hundred stores. But now someone suddenly says to you, hey, let's go buy a wedding dress tomorrow. What's more important is that you like this person but you can't get him/her. How can you refuse?
"Brother, could you at least add a premise? You're so scared to death by suddenly talking like that! If you want to hook up with me, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." Xia Mi patted Xiao Ping's chest repeatedly, as if she was frightened by something unexpected.
"Sorry, we are going out to buy the wedding dress for the mission tomorrow." Chu Zihang repeated it and made some necessary changes.
"Brother, you probably don't know that we don't have to buy a whole wedding dress..." Lu Mingfei raised her hand, "Because it's too expensive and most people will only wear it once, we can rent it."
Now that she is supported by the big UP host Samson, Lu Mingfei can spend money like water. Although she is not as rich as Caesar and Chu Zihang, and is not at all like the Cinderella of the past, she is at least treated like a duke's daughter. However, once a person's style of behavior is formed, it is difficult to change in a short period of time. When it comes to spending money, Lu Mingfei immediately turns into a good home-loving girl who is careful with money. After spending a long time together, even Chu Zihang feels that Lu Mingfei will be a daughter-in-law who knows how to live well in the future, and hopes that one of the elites in Cassel can win her over.
"The target is a high-risk hybrid who may be just one step away from becoming Deadpool. It will be a tough battle against such a guy. You will still have to pay for the rented dress if it is damaged, so it is better to buy it from the beginning to avoid the pain during the fight." Chu Zihang said lightly.
This tone really sounded like a talk of experience. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but imagine that when Chu Zihang was on such a mission before, he would yell "Sparta!" like Kratos, the god of war, and then suddenly use both hands to tear open his shirt to reveal his beautiful biceps, and then fly over with the half-naked Murasame wrapped in flames.
No, this style seems to be more suitable for Caesar, after all, he is also European and from the same family as Kratos. With the thin but actually powerful fighter type of the senior brother, he must have accidentally cut his clothes during the battle, and felt that it was a bit troublesome and would interfere with his actions, so he cut it open with Murasame, half revealing and half wearing like a monk's robe, which looks like a battle-damaged swordsman!
"So, senior brother, are you going to wear a wedding dress too?" Xia Mi suddenly asked a very nonsensical question.
"No..." Chu Zihang's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He just remembered that he had gone undercover in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital last year. No one knew that he had dressed as a woman and played a pregnant woman, except his mentor Schneider.
Shaking his head to clear away the unbearable past, Chu Zihang said seriously again: "I will pretend to be an ordinary participant and pretend that we don't know each other. The target is very dangerous. Although it is a task assigned to us by the academy at the same time, if any of you feel that it is inappropriate to be a bait, you can choose to withdraw to ensure your safety. I will not report it. If none of you are willing to participate, then I will do it myself..."
He paused, but still said: "Wear a wedding dress."
Letting a girl wear a wedding dress to be used as bait to lure a hungry wolf out of its cave is basically impossible in Chu Zihang's gentleman dictionary. Even if it is a mission of the academy, he has never been averse to going out alone.
It really sounded like a cold joke at the dinner table, but combined with that serious and tense face and Chu Zihang's usual style, the girls could more or less feel that Chu Zihang was determined to give it his all for the mission of the academy... even throwing away his sense of shame.
There are 360 professions in the world, but this guy is probably a good man who can do anything with a professional attitude. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that if Chu Zihang fell into a romantic place one day and had to face a group of girls he was not good at, he would also be professional and play finger-guessing games and drink with the girls until he was attacked by the group.
Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi looked at each other, and they both saw from the depths of each other's pupils how hard it was to hold back their laughter.
"To be honest, we all really want to see you in a wedding dress..." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice.
The usually calm face trembled a little: "Why?"
"Maybe it's the mentality of wanting the world to be in chaos?" Xia Mi stuck out her tongue. "Brother, you are such a serious and good boy. I guess you always throw garbage into the room when you grow up. You never shoot the ball from a distance. You look so abstinent. It makes me want to see you make a fool of yourself... It must fun."
Chu Zihang took a deep breath. He would not get angry because of such a thing, but he didn't know what expression to use to face these two clowns. Lu Mingfei was fine before, but since Xia Mi appeared, the two of them have been getting more and more in sync. Eating, sleeping, and teasing him seem to be the three major things they have to do in their lives. This forced Chu Zihang to seriously reflect on whether he had done something wrong to offend them before going to bed every night, because it is said that girls will do this when they are sulking.
"Brother, are you angry?" Lu Mingfei poked Chu Zihang's face. She didn't have the courage to do so in the past, but recently, under the guidance of Xia Mi, she has become more and more disrespectful and dared to secretly touch the brother in her dreams.
"No." Chu Zihang's voice was still so calm. Even if the spider spirits were persistent in trying to tease his heart, the little monk could still recite Buddhist scriptures and think about his serious matters. "Considering your safety, I think we should apply to the academy to transfer another boy to help, so that we can dance one-on-one."
"Aren't all the trains suspended? We can't go back, and the people in the college can't get out!" Xia Mi blew her hair.
"If necessary, they will actually use helicopters." Chu Zihang sent a message to the academy, "Norma asked us to assist the executive department in completing the mission, which means that the encirclement plan has been prepared long ago. It is not difficult to transfer someone from there to join our action team."
"Oh, then I hope it's a handsome guy who is strong and funny!" Xia Mi clapped her hands, and in an instant she seemed to remember something and patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder, "Brother, don't think too much! I'm not saying you're not good, but the team needs a different adjustment. It can't be that all the girls are optimistic and good girls, and the boys all have no expression. If that happens, it will be ugly for everyone to dance together... It's like us holding on to a tall refrigerator."
"It's okay, I understand." Chu Zihang nodded.
He really knows a lot. For example, at the Lionheart Club's regular meetings every semester, he is never the one standing in the head and talking big. That position is usually Susie holding a manuscript, and sometimes Lancelot showing his French romance. As for Chu Zihang, all he needs to do at the meeting is nod, smile, and say good things, like a powerful gangster leader. The freshmen admire this style very much, saying that Caesar is a slick talker, and the real leader is still our Lionheart Club, the serious and crazy lion!
The news was passed back to the academy, and Norma quickly replied OK, indicating that they would assign a humorous member from the members who were ready to carry out the mission, and also greeted the freshman Xia Mi on behalf of the academy.
According to the practice of Kassel Academy, all freshmen will experience at least one dragon-slaying operation or a siege against Deadpool in their first year. Norma said that this mission can be regarded as Xia Mi's first internship and will be given credits. This is a bit of good news for those who are forced to stay in Chicago.
After everything was arranged, Chu Zihang picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.
“…” There were tears in his eyes, but it was not because of his deep love for this land.
"Is it delicious, senior brother?" Xia Mi narrowed her eyes.
"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded.
"Then drink more. Come, I have more." Xia Mi filled his bowl again.
So people should not always talk too little. You have to speak when you should, otherwise you will be in big trouble. Chu Zihang only understood this truth now, but it was a little too late. The intense heat was raging in his mouth and even in his esophagus. It felt like he was releasing the Lord Flame in his body. As the controller of this kind of word spirit, Chu Zihang was almost the type who could tolerate heat. However, the devil pepper could not be considered hot, it was called spicy attack on the heart.
Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei looked at each other, lowered their heads and smiled secretly. When they moved closer, each of them grabbed a devil pepper and secretly threw it into Chu Zihang's soup bowl. Senior Brother Chu was too serious about his work and would not be on guard against his own people, so he didn't notice it at all.
At the moment he was busy dealing with the bowl of extremely spicy soup and didn't say a word the whole time. The girls who had successfully played the prank lost interest in him and thought that this guy was so cool and was really fulfilling their promise that they might never do it. Even if they knew who did it, they wouldn't get angry.
He is indeed a gentleman, and this gentlemanly attitude is different from Caesar's noble attitude towards ladies. When he was a child, his father was not around, and his mother always held little Chu Zihang in her arms, whispering that she was in terrible pain, and that she had to grow up quickly to protect her when she gave birth to him. Later, his father told little Chu Zihang that he would definitely meet many girls in the future, and that he could dislike them, but he had to be nice to them, because they would always become another mother in the future, and the children born would represent new hope, just like you are my hope.
Chu Zihang seldom gets angry, and treats girls with extreme gentleness. Even if he falls asleep tonight and is stripped naked, tied up, and thrown outside by those two, he will still say good morning as usual when he opens the door the next day. Of course, they are not that kind of people.
At night, Chu Zihang looked at the ceiling, the quilt covered his shoulders, and his hands were placed obediently inside the quilt. He even slept like a model student, very serious.
The spiciness in his mouth was fading. He drank a lot of ice water in the evening, so he felt like his stomach was surging when he moved, so he didn't feel sleepy for the time being.
"Are you asleep?" A fleeting soft call came from the bed opposite.
Chu Zihang turned his head and saw the moonlight shining on Xia Mi's soft forehead. She was curled up in the quilt with only half of her head exposed. Her long eyelashes left two shadows on her face. Her eyes were like a clear spring when first seen under the moon, as if they could even reflect his shadow.
Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi slept in the same bed with two quilts. Lu Mingfei was already fast asleep, breathing slowly, but Xia Mi was not sleepy yet. It was not convenient to toss and turn while sharing a bed with someone, so she could only focus on the person opposite her to see if they could have a chat or something.
"No." In fact, Chu Zihang didn't need to answer. Just looking at this action already showed his state. He was just used to answering whatever others asked him.
"I'm sorry." Xia Mi stuck out her tongue.
"What is there to apologize for?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.
"I instigated my senior sister to add the devil pepper to your bowl. I just wanted to see your reaction."
"I know."
"Aren't you angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about. I'm just a boring person. Even if I was played a prank on you, I wouldn't jump up and down and chase you around." Chu Zihang thought of many past experiences. "When I was in Shilan Middle School, there were girls who did this to me. Seeing that I always had no reaction, they never did it again. I guess they thought I was boring."
"...Senior Brother, your emotional intelligence is simply negative." Xia Mi praised softly.
"What do you mean?"
"How can a girl touch someone she has no interest in? She is just trying to get your attention! How stupid!"
"Oh..." Chu Zihang thought for a few seconds, "So you are too?"
"Well, what's wrong with looking at me more? I'm such a beautiful girl, it's pleasing to the eyes to look at me more!" Xia Mi pouted.
Chu Zihang smiled silently, and Xia Mi also smiled.
The biggest reason why Chu Zihang thinks Xia Mi is Lu Mingfei PLUS is that Xia Mi dares to say and do anything. She behaves like a straightforward person who opens her heart to you, whereas Lu Mingfei often hides her little thoughts like Miss Shilan, which makes Chu Zihang confused. In fact, in terms of appearance alone, both of them can be classified as good-looking girls in Chu Zihang's eyes.
Chu Zihang was good at thinking in a straight line. He didn't know how to think in a roundabout way. He would just take whatever moves he saw coming. No matter if she was a witch who brought disaster to the country or a witch who was eccentric and weird, she had to hide her fox tail and behave honestly in front of the monk Chu. So Xia Mi's style made him get along better. He didn't have to think about what was in this girl's mind.
"Good night, senior brother! Eat well and sleep well, then you will have the strength to beat the bad guys!" Xia Mi stretched out her little fist from the quilt and turned towards Chu Zihang.
"Okay, good night to you too." Chu Zihang nodded and watched the pair of eyes slowly close. He could clearly count each of Xia Mi's long eyelashes. Chu Zihang's heart moved. On this night when he was a little sleepless due to the spicy food, he counted Xia Mi's eyelashes like counting sheep, one, two, ticking, just like the wall clock counting time.
