Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 172 Round 2.1

----

The horns of the cars on the street next to him came to his ears, which brought Lu You back to his senses.He was standing motionless in the middle of the road when a passerby who hurried past bumped into his shoulder, turned his head to apologize, and showed a questioning expression.

He seemed to be distracted just now, and stood still... At this moment, he felt as if he suddenly woke up from a dream, but he didn't remember what dream it was.Lu You shook his head, and quickly forgot about this trivial matter that wasn't even abnormal, and continued to walk forward.There was still a distance from the intersection. He saw that the red light was still ahead, so he was not in a hurry. He took a few steps slowly when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front.

The ground under his feet trembled, and Lu You subconsciously stopped again.The flow of people around them stagnated for a moment, but accelerated and rushed forward. "What happened? Did the car crash?" "Isn't it an earthquake?" Several people whispered past Lu You, as if they were very excited about the accident, and rushed to the intersection to watch the excitement.There were a few faint exclamations at the intersection, and someone raised his voice and said, "The water pipe exploded!"

Before the words fell, Lu You also saw the high water column: the water sprayed from the burst pipe rushed straight to a position higher than the heads of the crowd in front, and then fell heavily, as if a road appeared in the middle of the road. fountain.People and cars that were too close were drenched in water, and some started to back away in a hurry, and some shouted "how did this get over here", some honking, some screaming... There was a mess of voices all over the place.A few seconds later, there was another "bang" - this time a car really collided with the suddenly decelerating car in front.

It was a total mess up front.Lu You kept his distance from such a "lively" scene. At first, he was hesitant to squeeze over to see the situation. After all, he was walking, and it was easy to squeeze through when the road conditions were chaotic, and this intersection was the shortest way to the school; but The people not far in front suddenly also backed up, because the water was rushing along the road, and the large amount of water was like a heavy rain.

...How can a broken water pipe be flooded like this...

Lu You immediately decided to take a detour.The wind blew a damp and slightly fishy smell, and just as he was about to hold his breath, he realized that it wasn't that unpleasant smell from the sewer.The water that submerged the road was quite clear, and it was almost up to his feet. Lu You stepped back and bumped into the people behind him without noticing.

He said "Sorry" hastily, steadied himself and turned around.It was a tall man who was hit by him, dressed in black and looked a bit fierce.Lu You was stared at condescendingly by him, and said in his heart that it was terrible—this person seemed to be angry.It's only a light bump, but if you're unlucky enough to run into someone with a bad temper...

The man spoke. "It's okay, I walked too fast." He said, his voice was a little low, as if he was suppressing some emotions, "You didn't hurt yourself?" At the same time, the expression on his face eased, no longer like It seemed terrible to be so tense before.

Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, quickly shook his head to say no, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.The man's appearance is actually very handsome, which makes it inappropriate to say "judging a man by his appearance", but he did mistake him for that kind of fierce guy just now... Although he would not know it, Lu You still felt a little embarrassed, Thinking that the man might not understand what happened ahead, it was rare for him to take the initiative to say, "Are you going there? The underground water pipe at the intersection is cracked."

The man turned his gaze to the ground. "Be careful of the water." He said, and at the same time reached out and grabbed Lu You's arm, pulled him back a few steps to the side, and let him go before he could feel the warmth of his palm seeping through his sleeve.

The contact time was very short, so Lu You didn't have time to feel disgusted by the touch of strangers that he usually dislikes.The man looked in the direction of the intersection, "Looks like we're going to take a detour." He said to himself, "I'm not familiar with this side..." Then he asked Lu You logically, "Do you know where else to go?" Is it a big road?"

It is actually a destination.Lu You glanced at him in surprise, guessing that he might be a graduate who came back to visit his alma mater—the school anniversary is just a few days later, and people who came early have arrived one after another in these two days.Human emotions are so elusive, just a guess that has not been verified, makes the person in front of me a little more intimacy than a stranger.

So he said, "Then you can go with me. I'm going to T University too... It's not too far to go back from here, and it's only ten minutes away."

For some reason, the man looked at him with a strange expression.But he didn't mean to refuse, and at the same time he answered "OK" in a low voice.Lu You didn't think much of it, and smiled at him—it was purely polite.Leading the way naturally has to go in front. When he walked past the man, he casually said his name and asked, "What's your name?"

The people behind him didn't answer right away.The time of silence was too long for a question that required no recollection.Moreover, instead of hesitating whether to say it or not, he was thinking about what to say... When Lu You was about to feel embarrassed and wondered if he was too enthusiastic to be annoying, he finally heard the slightly hoarse voice. sound.

"...Qi Zhengyun." He whispered.

Reversing the name from the previous world and adding a surname that came to mind on the spur of the moment, it became a brand new name.In this "first encounter" world where everything has to start all over again, he suddenly decided not to continue any of the past.

At the same time as the words came out, the memories that had been thought to be blurred a long time ago surged up.The sea where he was born, the bonfire and barbecue grills on the beach appeared in front of his eyes. There was no one who loved him at that time as at this moment. Under the moonlight, he turned his slightly drunk face to his side, his eyes were like a dream, With a smile on his lips.

For what reason?This memory scene made his throat suddenly constricted, and there was a feeling of air being sucked out of his chest.He closed his eyes slightly, letting himself forget that a moment ago—for him, a moment ago—the wood chips and bricks fell from the air to the ground, and the figures that fell down where he couldn't reach.Blood meandered through the ruins, and he forcibly suppressed this image to the depths of his memory.

It's ok...it won't happen again.Wouldn't it be a better start this time?

He took a step and followed the person ahead who knew nothing about it.One is not good at chatting with strangers, and the other is afraid that doing too much will spoil a good start, so they both remain silent—silence is better than the silence after death.As if he was a game player who didn't get the strategy and could only try and make mistakes with repeated failures. He closed his eyes and deleted the archives that he didn't want to review, and carefully wrote down the correct path he found by chance.

When Yuan Xiaoxiao arrived at the milk tea shop where he had made an appointment to meet with Lu You with the club information he was about to discuss, he received a message from him saying that something happened on the way and he would be late for a while.So she found a seat in the corner, ordered a cup of milk tea and a small cake for herself, and lemonade for Lu You, sat down comfortably, and started reading the novel on her phone.

She was so engrossed in the plot that she didn't even notice when anyone came to the table.It wasn't until the chair opposite was pulled that her attention was drawn away from the phone screen, and she looked up to see Lu You.After he sat down, he didn't greet her first, but turned halfway around, waved his hand towards the outside of the glass, and Yuan Xiaoxiao's eyes followed him - the outside also waved goodbye in return, it was a strange man she had never seen before. .

Through the glass, Qi Zhengyun briefly looked at the girl who seemed to have a good relationship with Lu You.He could see the faint black energy entangled in the girl... It wasn't something bad, it just meant the existence of some kind of unusual power.

When he saw her for the first time, he also discerned what she was for a while: the breath was a bit mixed, different from the usual human beings, but it was not a monster.After some covert observations, he was sure that the girl didn't even know her special features, and she didn't have any other purpose in approaching Lu You like that monster in the auditorium.Perhaps the family had been mixed with monster blood a few generations ago?

In short, she should not bring any danger to Lu You—perhaps the opposite of danger.Because, whether it was the last time he was following and protecting or walking together this time, Lu You kept encountering various accidents along the way, but after meeting her, the frequency decreased significantly... The last time I was in the store Nothing happened here, and after going out, I walked a lot before I encountered the drone falling.

Qi Zhengyun wasn't sure if it was due to time or the influence of this girl.It's best to be both, so that he can feel more at ease.He looked away from the girl, turned around and prepared to leave: According to his experience last time, the two in the milk tea shop would take a while to leave for the auditorium.And before the next accident, he will have about a quarter of an hour to deal with the monsters entrenched there in advance.

In the restarted world, it hasn't done anything yet...but rather than keeping on guard, let's just kill it.

He didn't want to think about whether he should be tried for a crime he hadn't committed for that kind of thing.The image of the blood that made his eyes warm was still in his memory.

Yuan Xiaoxiao watched the man in black walk into the crowd, and he quickly disappeared.She shivered in her seat, as if being blown by the cold air from the air conditioner. "Who is that?" She asked Lu You anxiously, "Where did you meet? It feels so fierce."

"I met on the road, and then we came together." Lu You said with a smile, "Are you fierce? Don't you like this kind of type, the last time I was crazy about the teaching assistant who came to substitute for a long time..."

Yuan Xiaoxiao yelled: "Don't turn over old scores!" She shook her head angrily, "Don't mention that teaching assistant, he only took two classes, and after that he teased all the good-looking girls in our class... Seeing Lu You's surprised expression, she became surprised, "No way, you don't know? There was a lot of excitement in the group because of scolding him a while ago."

Lu You really didn't pay attention: "...I don't pay much attention to this aspect."

"Don't pay attention? You've already turned a blind eye." Yuan Xiao smiled, took a sip of the milk tea in front of him, chewed the pearls and said vaguely: "You may not feel it when it's directly on your body... I will help you You still said I was thinking too much." She felt distressed, "Can you really find a girlfriend like this? It's too difficult for a girl to chase after her and confess her love...or you can find a man friend?"

It was because she had a good relationship with Lu You and knew that he had no prejudice in this regard, so she joked like this.Lu You smiled, and didn't say that he was really confessed directly, and both men and women... But if he is not familiar with the relationship, he will only feel that if he comes to strike up a conversation with the idea of ​​"promise, you can make money if you don't agree, and you don't lose". Embarrassment and disgust, naturally there will be no follow-up.The person who was originally a friend, the change in the relationship will make him panic again, so "let me think about it" eventually turned into a default rejection.

Coupled with the "sluggishness" judged by Yuan Xiaoxiao...

Fortunately, he had no expectations for love, and he was not disappointed if he didn't.Thinking so, Lu You put the glass of lemonade in front of him aside, and took out the arranged materials from his bag. "Stop gossip," he tapped on the edge of the table with a file folder, "Come on, let's get down to business."

Yuan Xiaoxiao complained "I haven't finished drinking yet", but then went to search the bag.At this time, she thought about whether to go to the auditorium to find other members, and then she thought that it would be better if the two of them made an outline and then relayed it.Moreover, although Lu You didn't say it, she could feel it: Lu You actually didn't like that Xiao Kai who followed him all the time—even if Xiao Kai had helped him.

That's it for now, she thought, and there's still cake to eat.She took out a few messy sheets of paper from her bag, and when she looked up, she was startled: a girl with gray hair and a black skirt stood outside the glass at some point.Although he was standing in front of her, his eyes were fixed on Lu You who was opposite her.

"... Huihui?" Yuan Xiaoxiao recognized this member of the drama club whom he had met not long ago.She thought Huihui was hesitating whether to come in with them, so she waved to her and pointed to the empty seat beside her.Huihui finally took a look at her, then seemed to accept the invitation, turned around slowly, and walked towards the door of the shop.
