Chapter 188 Gathering the Crowd
Professor Pei seemed to have had a long dream.
In the dream, I vaguely came to an island.
There are dense trees and lush grass, the water is calm and the mountains and islands stand tall.
He climbed to a high place and looked into the distance, his thoughts were complicated and he was filled with emotion. He couldn't remember what he was doing on the island.
"I'm old, my memory is not good..."
Pei Mingye scratched his head, turned on the flashlight, and patrolled the Song family island solemnly.
There is no village or shop in the distance, not even a road sign, but the greenery is OK. However, despite such dense greenery and wooden mortise and tenon structure houses, there is no fire hydrant on the island!
Pei Mingye shook his head repeatedly.
When we got to a place, the lights suddenly came on.
The big red lanterns are hung high.
The word "囍" (happiness) is hung high, red silk is like a waterfall, dozens of wedding banquet tables outside the door are empty, and the hall that should be full of guests is eerily silent!
Through the white window paper, there seems to be a vague figure.
This wedding chamber - inside, inside -
Professor Pei's pupils trembled.
There were actually four people inside!
Are female warriors so efficient in getting married nowadays?
Although he had something important to do, he couldn't help but walk a few steps inside out of curiosity, and then suddenly realized. No! According to national laws and regulations, although female warriors can get marriage certificates at the same time on paper, they cannot have a wedding night at the same time, otherwise they will be treated as a group party...
Oops.
What’s going on inside? It seems like there’s a male warrior holding a sword!
Pei Mingye made a prompt decision, coughed loudly, strode forward, pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the door, four people turned to look at him.
Chu Xuan's anger has not subsided.
Chu Yan stretched out his legs swiftly, kicked the stool that Chu Xuan was sitting on, and kicked it to the door: "Professor Pei, please sit down."
Henry Chu: “…”
Pei Mingye was puzzled: "Who are you?"
The female student opposite her spoke calmly: "Chu Yan, a freshman in the Physics Department of Yan University."
Pei Mingye was shocked: "Friend Chu!" His mind was still not very clear at this time, and he took off his glasses subconsciously: "Strange, how come my new pair of myopia and reading glasses have a beauty effect..."
Then he reacted suddenly.
Chu Yan is a freshman at Yan University.
Freshman, how old are you?! He got a drinking license just after turning 18!
Pei Mingye was about to persuade him, but Chu Yan stood up slowly and said, "Let's go."
Lu Yaoguang nodded gently, stood up and walked side by side with Chu Yan, smiling at Professor Pei.
On the ground, Song Ling rolled and crawled to catch up.
Pei Mingye's eyelids jumped: "This guy on the ground... is just crawling like this?"
Chu Yan: "It's okay, it's used to crawling."
Sure enough, after Song Ling crawled a few steps, he changed from using both hands and feet together to alternating left and right, sometimes doing the upward dog pose and sometimes the downward dog pose.
Behind him, Henry Chu followed in silence.
With Pei Mingye here, he couldn't continue to pester her.
Chu Yan gave him a cold warning look.
Chu Xuan received it all.
In his memory at this time, he was still the adopted son of the Chu family after all, and their love was obscure and taboo, and could not be known to outsiders before he set up his own business. However, even so, Chu Xuan's sword-holding hand still tightened slightly under this look.
Beside them was the highly respected martial arts master, professor of Yan University.
He and Chu Yan both looked at each other indifferently. They seemed to be well-behaved and never overstepped the boundaries, but in fact, they were very close in private. Chu Xuan's ears turned slightly red, and then he returned to his usual indifference.
system:【……】
System: [Host, host, ahhhh, why do I feel like you made him happy with that look! ]
Chu Yan: [Shut up.]
With Pei Mingye's intervention.
This wedding night ended in farce.
Pei Mingye was afraid that this promising classmate Chu would go back to the bridal chamber again, leaving a record of gathering and having fun, which would affect her future civil service examinations. Therefore, he had to detain her on the pretext of discussing academic matters and ordered her to find a room to temporarily stay in as a female dormitory.
Chu Xuan originally wanted to stay as an elder brother.
But he was filled with murderous intent.
Pei Mingye was always worried that he would take advantage of his inattention and hack to death the other two men.
You know, if a direct relative is involved in a criminal case, it will still affect Chu Yan's civil service examination.
Professor Pei was busy all the time, and finally found an empty courtyard of the Song family and separated the four people according to the principles of geometry.
Among them, Chu Xuan lived the farthest away.
Lu Yaoguang and Song Ling lived close to each other, forming an isosceles acute triangle with Chu Xuan. Draw a perpendicular bisector from the vertex of the triangle to the base, and the point on the perpendicular bisector is Chu Yan's room.
Professor Pei lives next door to Chu Yan - let’s see who dares to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to find classmate Chu!
Henry Chu was just driven away.
Song Ling stopped crawling immediately, changed from downward dog pose to upward dog pose, walked a few more steps with a hunched back, and then raised his head confidently.
Pei Mingye: "Isn't this Song Ling? At that time, your uncle was looking for you all over S City, and it made such a big fuss." He was stunned and looked at Chu Yan: "His sexual orientation seems to be wrong. He wore this wedding dress for..."
Chu Yan said perfunctorily: "I don't know, maybe it's for Chu Xuan."
Pei Mingye: “…”
Lu Yaoguang, Song Ling: "..."
Chu Yan: "Let's stop talking nonsense and start looking for clues."
Pei Mingye was puzzled: "What clues?"
Chu Yan paused.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Pei Mingye:
"Pei Mingxue."
Professor Pei's blood froze instantly when he heard the name, and a long-lasting sorrow spread from his limbs.
This pain was so familiar that it seemed to have grown with him.
But the next moment.
He heard himself say woodenly: "Why are you looking for her?"
Chu Yan's gaze suddenly became sharp.
Wandering on Professor Pei's face.
Lu Yaoguang said.
The strange and weird will not do useless work.
Dolian will alter a person's memory, only the most important parts - the parts that are vital to it.
Chu Yan quickly spoke up: "Professor Pei, how long have you been teaching at Yan University?"
Pei Mingye was bewildered: "Eleven years."
Chu Yan: "Why did you choose Taixuanjing as an elective subject?"
Pei Mingye: "General selection is aimed at a wide range of students, and Taixuanjing is simple and easy to understand, which is suitable for non-martial arts students to understand the martial arts system."
Chu Yan: "I heard you have a sister."
Pei Mingye nodded: "Yes, it's Mingxue."
Chu Yan paused for a moment, "Where is she?"
Pei Mingye smiled and said, "After Mingxue graduated from Yan University, she was assigned to Dunhuang to study those statues and Buddhist story paintings that I couldn't understand, and to restore related ancient books. She has loved these since she was a child."
Chu Yan's originally cold voice suddenly fell silent.
for a long time.
She spoke, slowly agreeing, "That's good."
Pei Mingye curled his eyes, and his youthful vigor and vitality could still be seen in his eyes and eyebrows eroded by time: "She is really good like this."
Chu Yan's gaze passed over Pei Mingye's gray hair.
Over the past twenty years, it seemed that one day, he had finally forgotten the hatred of his blood relatives dying in a foreign land.
The strange thing modified his memory.
Let him mistakenly believe that Pei Mingxue is still alive——
But beside the graying temples, there seemed to be a turbid light flashing in Professor Pei's smiling eyes.
Chu Yan looked at Lu Yaoguang not far away.
The partner nodded slightly.
His mouth slightly opened and he repeated the words Chu Yan had just spoken.
Clue, Pei Mingxue.
Everything that the strange monster fears, Dao Lian's method of cracking it, the power that can destroy it, and the reason why Lu Zhijun escaped from the control of the Dao seed several years ago, finally had a clear clue at this time.
Pei Mingxue's cause of death.
