Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 64 Scene 5.5 You are my life-saving straw [-]k
"How about this one?" Nono came out of the fitting room, wearing a red dress.

"Very beautiful, like a queen." Lu Mingfei praised with a thumbs up.

"Tch, perfunctory." Nono rolled his eyes, picked another piece of clothing from the hanger and walked into the fitting room.

Monk Lu Mingfei was confused. He asked the clerk next to him, "Am I being perfunctory?"

"Yes sir, as a boyfriend." The clerk smiled softly.

"The main reason is that I haven't been in love before... I don't know what it means to be perfunctory..." Lu Mingfei muttered, taking a sip of water.

"What about this one?" Nono came out after a while, wearing a white cotton skirt. Her dark red pupils were like water, slightly reflecting the lights in the clothing store, "Don't you like Chen Wenwen that kind of literary girl? Really? I can do essay writing too, and I’m much prettier than Chen Wenwen, right?"

Lu Mingfei spurted out all the water in his mouth with a "pop" sound.

"Senior sister, there's no need..." He looked sternly, "Why are you competing with Chen Wenwen? She is already in the past tense... Now I only have you in my heart."

"Me! No! It feels good!" Nuonuo said viciously, walked up to him, and rubbed Lu Mingfei's face into various shapes, "Also, don't say earthy love words."

"I was wrong!" Lu Mingfei admitted his mistake knowingly.

"What went wrong?" Nuonuo pinched Lu Mingfei's depressed face and transformed him into a nobita after being beaten.

"I promise I will never do anything to make Senior Sister jealous again!"

"Who's jealous?" Nono curled her lips, "I'm not jealous of you, don't think too much."

"But senior sister, you seem to be jealous now..." Lu Mingfei said weakly.

"No, you saw it wrong." Nono let go of his face and went back to the fitting room.

Finally I chose the red dress.

"Swipe your card." Lu Mingfei said to the clerk, twirling the black card between his fingers and handing it to him.

The clerk quickly brought back the credit card machine. After swiping the card, Lu Mingfei entered the password and turned the pen in his hand while waiting for the order to be signed. He was familiar with this routine. He swiped the card to pay for late-night snacks at Kassel College.

"Sir, your card is invalid." The clerk gave the card machine to Lu Mingfei with a polite smile.

Lu Mingfei was shocked. The card swiping machine displayed the word "invalid".

"It's broken. I forgot to ask Citibank to help me unblock it again." Lu Mingfei was covered in cold sweat.

"As a friendly reminder, you know I don't bring any money either." Nono said slowly, holding his hands.

Lu Mingfei jumped up and down anxiously. At this moment, a text message came in from his phone. He suddenly seemed to see a beam of light coming in, and he quickly took out his phone and opened the text message.

"I hope it's senior brother..." Lu Mingfei prayed.

"The bank card is tucked into the sunshield of the car. The password is my birthday. Judging from your memory, junior brother, you must have forgotten to unblock it." The sender showed that it was Chu Zihang.

"Yes! Senior brother's kindness will be unforgettable. Junior brother, I am willing to do whatever it takes to give my life to you!"

"Hey, you gave your life to Chu Zihang, am I going to be a widow?"

"You're kidding." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and suddenly realized, "Senior sister, you just said you were married, right?"

Nuonuo hummed and pretended not to hear.

……

……

Lu Mingfei held Nuonuo's hand and walked out from the largest gap in the iron door.

"Is this the secret base you're talking about?" Nono looked around curiously. This is the rooftop of Lu Mingfei's house.

Lu Mingfei said nothing, and pulled her to the edge of the concrete platform, where they sat down.

"It's indeed beautiful. No wonder you like it." Nuonuo said. She looked at the CBD area in the distance, where the high-rise buildings shone dazzlingly.

"Every afternoon for the first 18 years, I would stay here for a while, and then lie to my aunt, saying that I was doing homework on the long table of the post office outside." Lu Mingfei said softly.

"I was quite bored when I was a child. I would run up here when I had nothing to do. Usually in the afternoon, I would sit where we are sitting now, watching the sun slowly sinking in the west, and counting the people walking on the viaduct. Traffic flow, playing the game of shooting the traffic light with your finger, wondering if you can flick it and it will change from red to green."

"Occasionally, it will turn green, and I will be very happy, thinking that I have some superpower."

"There was really nothing to do at that time, so I just passed the time here and there. Anyway, the cost of doing anything to me, Lu Mingfei, was only time, and as a person with no sense of existence, I just hate that I have too much time to kill."

"Actually, I had a lot of time before, but it all disappeared while I was waiting for the sunset on a high building, and there was no girl I liked by my side."

"Senior sister, actually you know that I am a person who has made a comeback, right?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly.

Nono was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yeah."

"You always knew, why didn't you ask me?" Lu Mingfei raised Nuonuo's hand and looked at it. It was slender and fair, without any flaws.

"Because I want to wait for you to say it yourself." Nono turned to look at his side face, "I know your character, but you don't want to say it, you want to keep it in your heart. It's useless for me to ask."

"Yes." Lu Mingfei scratched his head with his free hand.

"Then what were we like in our previous life?" Nuonuo suddenly asked.

"In my last life...we were not together."

"Actually, I guessed it too." Nono clasped his fingers with her backhand, "What about our relationship?"

"Probably..." Lu Mingfei's eyes seemed to be thinking or recalling, "Is it Tang Monk and Silly Monkey?"

"What kind of weird metaphor is this?"

"Senior sister, if that night in the cinema, I still like Chen Wenwen, and then Zhao Menghua slaps me hard from the air, and then you fall from the sky and catch me up."

"If things had developed like this at that time, what kind of person do you think I would be? Would I be who I am now? Or would I be a lost dog with no way out?"

Nuonuo sat quietly and thought for a long time, "Be a loser. If you are not a loser, why would I pick you up?"

"Yes, in my memory, I am also a loser. What they decided to watch that night was "Wall-E". Senior sister, have you watched it?"

"I haven't seen it." Nono shook his head.

"Let me play it for you again and let's watch it together."

Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and the scene around him suddenly changed, turning into the small screening room.

"Wall-E" was playing on the screen, Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers again, and a large glass of Coke and a bucket of popcorn appeared between them.

The story is about the distant future. The earth has been abandoned due to garbage pollution. Human beings have taken spaceships to outer space. There is only a small garbage-picking robot WALL-E left on the earth. For some reason, it far surpasses itself. Years of working, sorting out garbage year after year, crushing the garbage into cubes and piling them into mountains.

That day a spaceship fell from the sky. Human beings who had immigrated to outer space came back to explore the situation on the earth. They sent a small robot named Eve. She was advanced and beautiful, with a personality like a little girl. When she exerted her power, she could destroy the world. .

The earth child Wall-E fell in love with Eve, and later they went on an adventure in outer space, and finally guided the human brother back to his homeland, the earth that had restored its vitality.

It's nothing more than an old-school story about Xiao Shaozi falling in love with Bai Fumei, and the ending is also an old-school happy ending.

"Do you still have this ability?" Nono laughed, "It's great for picking up girls."

"Let's watch a movie." Lu Mingfei said, and the two of them were silent. On the screen, Wall-E and Riva were flying in the dark universe, and the white smoke emitted by the fire extinguisher left various interesting patterns.

Then Wall-E ran into trouble and was almost crushed into a pile of scrap metal. Eve risked her life to save him, but what she saved was almost the same as scrap metal.

Wall-E has become stupid. He is no longer the cute little bad boy, and has turned back into a mass-produced product that can only sort out garbage according to the level.

Then the evil artificial intelligence was killed, the spaceship returned to the earth, Eve flew with afterburner, and took the stupid WALL-E back to its cabin on the earth...

"Senior sister, I have liked you since the day you picked me up in this screening room." Lu Mingfei suddenly said, "Whether it is this life or the previous life."

"I know." Nono held the corner of his clothes and shook it gently, as if carelessly, "Don't worry about what happened in the previous life, okay? Aren't we together now? Let the past things pass."

"I really want to tell you that I love you now." Lu Mingfei turned around and stared at her profile in the dim light of the screen. Nono's eyelashes were actually quite long, curled and raised, and her carefully applied lip gloss reflected them. Fluorescent.

"But I don't know if this is love. I have never been in love and I am very unfamiliar with these two words. Some people say that if you don't understand it well enough, it cannot be considered love. It is just secret love and longing."

"It's love." Nono said, but she didn't look at him. She just stared at the screen and gently sniffed the coke. "I don't know what kind of person I was in my previous life, but I should be very different from who I am now."

"You can pay so much for me, doesn't it count as love?"

Nono suddenly understood why movies with such an old-school core were so popular back then. It was because the little robots were so cute. Pixar had this ability in its heyday, and the animated characters they produced were so cute that it made people feel soft.Wall-E held Eve's hand on the screen.

Nono's lips were flat at first and slowly turned into an arc.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, and Noonuo didn't say anything anymore. On the screen, Wall-E said Eve, and Eve said Wall-E. The little bad boy finally recovered his memory, and fell in love with Bai Fumei. Everyone was happy, and the music warmed people's hearts.

The two of them sat in silence until the end credits slowly rolled out.

Lu Mingfei actually didn't pay much attention. He kept looking at Chen Motong's side face.

Senior sister, you know I'm looking at you, right?You've been waiting for me to say something to you, right?
"You want me to get some more popcorn..." He suddenly stood up and sat down again.

"never mind."

"I meant to say..."

Lu Mingfei's fingers passed through Nono's fingers and interlocked with hers.

"I love you, senior sister."

Nuonuo laughed, and she finally turned her head and looked directly into his eyes, "I love you too."

Lu Mingfei blushed a little, "Senior sister, I'm helping Chen Wenwen today just because I want to say goodbye to the past properly. I didn't quite understand it in my previous life, and I'm relatively slow in this regard... so it may make you uncomfortable. "

Nono snorted, "Are you still thinking about this? I told you I'm really not jealous."

"Oh...I thought you were talking angrily."

"Teach you to be good." She squeezed Lu Mingfei's hand, "Sometimes, girls really don't know how to do it."

"I don't know much about this, I have no experience..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "I may be quite slow, both in life and emotions. Please be patient with me, senior sister."

"It doesn't matter. When two people fall in love, isn't it a process of mutual understanding and tolerance?" Nono shrugged.

After the movie was played, the surrounding scene returned to the rooftop. A gust of night wind happened to blow by, and Nono's dark red hair was lifted by the wind. She reached out and pushed her forehead hair behind her ears.

"Didn't you say you don't understand me?" Nono said, "I seemed to have promised you the last time I celebrated my birthday. When it's your birthday, I'll tell you about my past. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I do!" Lu Mingfei quickly sat upright.

"Hmm... let me think about it, where should I start..." Nono looked up at the stars in the sky, as if he was weighing his words, "Let's start from my house."

"My family is quite wealthy. It is considered one of the most awesome mixed-race families in China. My 'father' is very mysterious. I have never seen him even though I have been growing up."

"That man used in vitro fertilization to produce offspring, so I still have dozens of brothers and sisters." Nuonuo's expression suddenly turned disgusting, "Forget it, let's not mention him. I feel bad when I mention him. .”

"I lived in a manor owned by the Chen family during my childhood. Growing up, I was always the best among the children in the manor, so I was valued by my father."

"Until my mother showed up and was diagnosed with parasitic disease, I was implicated and lost my status in the family."

"My mother is an Indian woman, but I had never met her before she got sick."

"It's very strange. She has never seen me before, but she has affection for me." Nono lowered her head. Her bangs were very long, blocking her eyes so that Lu Mingfei couldn't see clearly. Emotion, "That was the first time I experienced something called 'family affection'."

"Then I stayed with my mother until she passed away. During the time I stayed with her in the hospital, I gradually understood that no matter how good I am, I am just a tool in the family. Once I lose my value, I will be abandoned. "

"After her death, I also lost the only person in the world who had any affection for me, so I decided to leave the family and go to Kassel."

"All I can think of is to live." Nono raised his head and looked into the distance.

"In other words, sometimes I am a little confused about whether I should continue to live. There is no past. The first 18 years of my life are like a big dream. There is no future. I can't see the road ahead and don't know how to go on. , without relatives, that man cannot be called my relatives at all, and without friends, before I entered Kassel."

"Actually, I'm not an optimistic person. Although I usually seem careless and crazy, it's just because I'm bored and want to do something to have fun."

"I can't find the motivation to live... There is no motivation to support me to continue walking." Nono shrugged, "Does it sound a bit pretentious? I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head and listened carefully.

"I have always had a feeling that something terrible will be waiting for me in the future, and there is no way to escape it. I just hope that I can be braver and that someone can help me."

"I don't know how to describe this feeling... I feel like I'm soaking in a deep water. I look across the endless horizon and can't find a way out, but there is one thing that makes me yearn for it."

"You know a drowning person, as long as she touches something, she will hold on tightly because that is her only hope of survival."

"Have you ever played Go?" Nono suddenly asked Lu Mingfei.

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head honestly.

"I played this game when I was a kid. Because of my family's training, I had to be proficient in everything and be the best in everything." Nono smiled self-deprecatingly. "There is a term in Go called 'eye'. It is obtained by one's own side." "Empty" refers to the territory, and it is also a special condition for one's own chess pieces to survive."

"Generally, if an isolated piece of chess has two eyes, they will echo each other, making it impossible for the opponent to attack, thus ensuring its absolute survival conditions on the chessboard."

"I understand." Lu Mingfei said, "This chess piece will not be captured, right?"

Nono didn't answer his question, but suddenly put his forehead gently on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

"Junior brother, you are my 'eyes'."

"Or as I described it before, you are my life-saving straw."

"You always say that I am your light, but how can you not be my light?" Nono murmured to himself, "I feel at ease because I know that no matter what happens, you will always be by my side. It's like my life-saving straw, I don't have to be afraid of anything, I just need to hold on to you."

"So, Lu Mingfei." Nono suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him, "You are mine, don't ever think of escaping in this life."

Lu Mingfei looked at her dark red pupils, which were very deep but extremely bright, shining brightly in the night sky.

"I want to do many things with you, such as the Himalayas at sunrise. I heard they are pink and very beautiful. I want to see them with my own eyes. There are also the aurora in Greenland in the Arctic. Maybe you can help us. Get some popcorn, then we’ll sit on the ground hand in hand, eat popcorn, drink Coke and watch the aurora.”

"I want to go see the hanging sun twice a year in Manhattan, New York. I'll take that guy named Old Tang with me. He must be very familiar with New York. I also want to see tens of thousands of wildebeests trample a group of silly crocodiles across the river. Mara River, when I think of wildebeest, I think of Fingal, they are all animals with simple minds and well-developed limbs..."

"Anyway, there are still so many beautiful things in this world waiting for us to witness."

"You are now the most important person in my life, so you have to accompany me to read it all." Chen Motong announced with her head held high, like a proud princess with sharp words.

"Yes, I promise you." Lu Mingfei held out his little finger.

"Then it's settled." Chen Motong smiled and hooked up with him, "I can't regret it in this life."

"I won't do it in this life, and I won't do it in the next life." Lu Mingfei replied, with a tone of duty, "I promise."

"It's good to know." Nuonuo smiled with satisfaction.

Another gust of night wind blew by, and Lu Mingfei shivered, suddenly realizing that it was already very late.

"Senior sister, it's getting late, we should go back." Lu Mingfei folded his arms and hummed.

"Same." Nono let go of his hand, "Then where should I sleep tonight?"

"How about..." Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, "Sleep at my place?"

"So you still want to crawl into my bed?" Nono suddenly turned back into the little witch. The witch sister looked back at him with curious eyes.

"I underestimate you."

"No..." Lu Mingfei blushed.

A second later, she slapped her knees and giggled again. Lu Mingfei felt like he was riding a roller coaster that went up to the sky and down to the earth, and he was knocked unconscious in an instant.

"I mean...forget it, I'll go get a hotel room for senior sister..."

"That's pretty much it." Nuonuo hit his head with a sly smile, "It's too early now, put away your cowardice."

"I don't have the guts either..." Lu Mingfei muttered.

"I don't want to leave yet, I want to watch for a while." Nono stopped making noises and leaned on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

"Well, I will accompany you whenever you want." He said.

For a moment, the world was quiet and beautiful, and even the noise of the night wind was drowned out by the sound of the heartbeat.

　If I want to add more... I'll see if I can write a chapter tomorrow morning...

　　This chapter has been polished for a long time, I hope everyone is satisfied.
