8. Darkest

"What do you think about this? Are you a liar?"

Gu Chen tilted his head and held his cell phone between his legs, pouring water while giving the most reliable explanation.

Lu Mingfei must have been excited and troubled for a long time. As soon as he heard what he said, he immediately followed, "Yes, I heard that the admission letter will contain a lot of forms and introduction materials. It's thick.

A pile of them. But all I received was one letter, and it was written in Chinese.”

Last year, a boy from their school successfully applied. With a look of disdain, the boy threw the pile of things on the table and said impatiently in the envious eyes of a group of girls, "So many."

How can I fill out all the materials? Ask my dad to get me a typewriter to type!

For Lu Mingfei, being admitted to an American university was like winning a lottery, but he was inevitably frightened after calming down. The letter told him to contact Professor Guderian immediately, but he didn't even get a call.

You didn't even give him a contact number. Are you trying to make fun of him?

"What did the letter say?" Gu Chen asked.

"Tell me I'm excellent..." Even Lu Mingfei found it a bit hard to talk about this with people who knew each other well. American universities would only send him an admission letter if they were confused.

"What's the name of the school? Do you want me to look it up online for you?" Gu Chen looked like an old confidant who was thinking about him and worried that he would be deceived.

Lu Mingfei was deeply moved, but still refused again and again. Firstly, he couldn't trust Gu Chen's Internet surfing skills, and secondly, he just heard from the doorman who chased him to the newsstand that he had a package he forgot to pick up.

"You're leaving in such a hurry and you haven't signed for it yet." The guard handed him a slip dissatisfied.

As soon as Lu Mingfei read the letter, he didn't even go upstairs. He immediately ran to the old man at the newsstand and borrowed a phone to call Gu Chen. It was completely because after the encounter between good brothers, he asked the most stubborn old man for advice.

"Do you still need to sign for the letter?"

The other person probably put down the phone. Gu Chen couldn't quite hear what was going on, but within a few minutes, the sound of huffing and puffing came from the receiver.

"I also got a mobile phone in the package!"

Lu Mingfei felt that he needed to calm down, and Gu Chen suggested that he go upstairs and go home and let his shrewd aunt give him some advice.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen walked outside the door. The fresh wind blew over him in an unknown direction. He opened his arms and looked up at the sun, like a hug.

He didn't need to think hard to guess how noisy Lu Mingfei's house was at this moment. It wasn't like a chicken and a dog, but it was comparable to the Chinese New Year.

In addition to the Guangxu Emperor Lu Gucheng, who only dared to express his opinions in a low voice, and the aunt of the Queen Mother, who was loud and powerful, there was also the fat cousin Lu Mingze, who would definitely murmur endlessly like Li Lianying, and Lu

Ming Fei, the little Huangmen, huddled in the corner of the sofa like a quail, waiting for the verdict of life or death from the Queen Mother.

But this has nothing to do with Gu Chen. His target has not been this family from the beginning to the end.

The clouds passed by suddenly, the sun gradually tilted, and the blocked sunlight became dim. He turned and went upstairs and walked into the study.

The simple bookshelf is neatly filled with books of different categories, all of which are brand new. It can be seen that the people who bought the books have not read them at all, so there are only slight creases on these books that Xia Mi has turned over.

Gu Chen lightly brushed his fingers on the spine of the book, took out a stack of letter paper from the drawer, picked up a pencil from the pen holder, sat down and started writing.

--"Dear Frost, my old friend, how have you been lately?"



"Auntie said she would call Professor Guderian from that school tomorrow and maybe have a meeting."

In the evening, Gu Chen received a call from Lu Mingfei. The boy's voice was muffled. He didn't know where he was calling.

"It's okay to go and have a look. Going with uncle and aunt can also give you courage."

"Aren't you going?" Lu Mingfei then hesitated to express his intention.

Although his aunt can decide his future life with just one word, he still wants to fight for it. At least if Gu Chen is here, he won't be like a fish on the chopping board that can't even flap.

"Okay." Gu Chen agreed, "I'll ask about it when the time comes. Maybe I can go to a foreign university."

"Then we'll contact you after we've decided." Lu Mingfei smiled and felt relieved, "Are you outside now?"

"How do you know?"

"I heard the wind blowing." Lu Mingfei was very witty.

"Well, I plan to go to the bar to see if there is any business." Gu Chen indeed said as he walked.

"Don't ever mess with those big brothers wearing minks and gold chains again! If you get beaten up again, I might not be able to get there tonight." Lu Mingfei was a little anxious, and he seemed to be earnestly trying to persuade the prodigal son to turn back.

.

"I know." Gu Chen laughed.

After Lu Mingfei persuaded him again and again, he hung up the phone uneasily.

It was dark everywhere, and the street lights in the distance flickered suddenly, as if there was a malfunction. The screen of the mobile phone went out little by little. Gu Chen put the envelope into the mailbox and stood for a long time before leaving.

The green mailbox has peeling paint, and it can be seen that it has been aged. It stands there alone, like a traveler watching in an uninhabited wilderness.



In this small southern city, there is a little-known bar called Guidu, which is only open late at night.

Lu Mingfei came here once. When he heard that Gu Chen had been beaten, he jumped into a taxi with the bottle of soy sauce he had just bought and came over in a menacing manner.

It turned out that the taxi driver had never heard of such a bar, so he drove around the outer ring road twice. When Lu Mingfei finally arrived at the address sent by his caregiver, Lao Gu's nosebleeds were almost dry.

.

Lu Mingfei was very loyal, and immediately shouted to rush in. At most, one more person would have his head blown open. He would have to get his attitude back today. At that time, he was holding his neck, his face was red, and he was as heroic as "Interstellar"

The dog who charged at the end in "The Battle for Hegemony". Because his best and only friend was beaten, he wanted to fight with his life!

Gu Chen just looked at him without saying a word. Later, he simply pretended to faint. Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he wanted to send him to the hospital, so he gave up.

Now, he is standing in front of this homecoming bar.

Fog has arisen at night, and has spread lightly over the deserted old street. It is strange that the darkness seems to be particularly favored here, and there is no starlight at all. The street lamps are extinguished one by one from far to near, and the last light of the filament is also very bright.

It was about to be swallowed up, and only the neon sign in front of me shone with strange colored lights.

There are no dazzling spotlights or colorful lights in the bar. Under the large white bright crystal chandelier, there are people sitting around a large Western-style round table.

They are male or female, old or young, all dressed in different styles. Without exception, they are all handsome men and beautiful women. Even the old guy with white hair and beard is definitely the killer of the square aunt.

They were probably talking in secret, and their voices could only be heard by those present.

At a certain moment, a colorful ribbon suddenly dropped from the ceiling, just reaching the center of the round table, interrupting the whispers in the room. Everyone looked up in confusion, as if they didn't understand how it could suddenly fall on such a serious occasion.

"Hello~" Then with a weird and long tone, a figure slid down the ribbon.

Gu Chen stepped on the solid mahogany table, faced the shocked and angry crowd, and snapped his fingers with a wild smile.

The next second, the large crystal chandelier above everyone's heads suddenly went out in a flash, and the bar was suddenly plunged into darkness with only the strange sparks flowing from the filaments.

Then, fireflies flying side by side appeared in the darkness, with pairs of pupils flowing with light gold, and the old guy's eyes were so golden that they were like champagne illuminated by a gas lamp!

"Wow." Gu Chen exclaimed softly.

As the sound fell, an even more intense light erupted from his right pupil. It was cold, pure white light, appearing in the deep sea where gold had not touched. It was like a lighthouse that had stood for thousands of years, swallowing up the approaching people like a whirlpool.
