Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, is one of the Christmas holidays in most Christian countries, but now, due to the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, it has become a worldwide holiday celebration. Metro University holds a Christmas party every year in the Lixue Hall.
In the etiquette hall, many students hurriedly decorated the area decorations of their respective classes. Today is the time when various departments compete for creativity. At this time, several porters carried a gorgeously decorated Christmas tree into it. The three-meter-tall Christmas tree, with its dazzling array of decorations, instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby.
The porters carried the Christmas tree to the history department class. One of the students following the porters shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and have a look! Come and have a look! Boss Zhao spent a lot of money to buy this tree." The Christmas tree is beautiful, isn’t it?”
Everyone looked at the person calling and realized that it was Zhang Qiang, and the person standing in front of him was the boss he called, Zhao Zhanpeng.
Zhao Zhanpeng is a well-known rich second generation in the school. He is handsome and his academic performance is among the best in the history department. Girls in the department usually regard him as Prince Charming. But now the onlookers discovered that this was the Christmas tree brought by Zhao Zhanpeng, and they all started to come forward to praise it.
"It turns out that Boss Zhao brought the Christmas tree. Let me tell you, only Boss Zhao has such taste."
"Well, look at the shiny decorations on this tree. They are very expensive at first glance."
"It seems that our department can outperform other departments and colleges again this year."
.
Looking at these classmates who were fawning over him, Zhao Zhanpeng showed a look of arrogance. At this moment, he saw a figure passing behind the onlookers, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he winked at Zhang Qiang beside him.
Zhang Qiang followed Zhao Zhanpeng's line of sight and looked over. After seeing that person, how could he not know what his boss meant? He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Isn't this our talented scholar from Muda? He usually takes care of everything, today Why do you have time to participate in group activities?"
The boy who was passing by heard the call and turned to see who was calling him.
Only then did everyone notice that this great historian was also present.
The boy's name is Mu Yu. He looks very thin at first glance. He is 1.68 meters tall and has a delicate appearance. He has a baby face and a pair of eyes like obsidian. Among a group of college students, he is like a junior high school student who has not yet fully developed.
It can be said that Mu Yu is a person that all students dare not approach. It is not that he has a great background, but that Mu Yu has always occupied the first place in the history subject since he entered school. And he himself looked like a stranger.
Mu Yu not only has the title of top student, but is also well-known in the school. It is said that a school bully at Xincheng University saw that Mu Yu was thin and easy to bully, so he called a dozen boys to take him to the back door of the school. Everyone thought that the thin school bully was in trouble, but the final result was shocking. Mu Yu returned to school safely, while the school bully and his younger brother were all disgraced and had obviously been taught a lesson. Later, it was reported in the school that Mu Yu single-handedly challenged more than a dozen people, beating them until they were unable to fight back. At this point, Mu Yu has also been labeled synonymous with cruelty.
Mu Yu himself is not gregarious, which is related to his previous experience.
Mu Yu is an orphan. He was brought back to the orphanage by the dean's grandmother when he was a child. He only has a jade pendant with the word "mu" written on it. It happened to be raining heavily that day, so he was named Mu Yu.
Before Mu Yu was seven years old, his life was like a normal child, but when he was seven years old, he mysteriously contracted a strange disease.
No matter how much I eat, I can't fill my stomach, as if it's a bottomless pit. As time went by, severe malnutrition appeared. The dean's grandma took Mu Yu to see many hospitals, but nothing was wrong with her. The doctor told her that it was just normal malnutrition and that she could just add more nutrition.
The originally healthy child endured hunger every day and soon became skinny and skinny. To put it exaggeratedly, it is like a skeleton covered in human skin. If it weren't for the special care of the dean's grandmother, Mu Yu would have probably starved to death.
But this terrifying appearance also brought a lot of trouble to Mu Yu. He has been called a monster by his peers since he was a child, and he has become a target of bullying because he is different.
Long-term unfair treatment has developed his withdrawn character. Only by devoting himself wholeheartedly to his studies can he temporarily avoid these troubles.
The transformation of Mu Yu's body started two years ago.
One evening two years ago.
On the way back to the orphanage, Mu Yu felt that his hunger this time was several times more than usual. Halfway through, he stumbled and fell to the ground. In a daze, he saw an old man appearing next to him, holding a A red fruit reached out and pressed the fruit against Mu Yu's lips.
The fruit instantly turned into juice and flowed into Mu Yu's mouth, and a warm current instantly flowed through his body. Mu Yu groaned in great comfort, and then fell asleep. When Mu Yu opened his eyes again, the sky had darkened, and a crescent moon was hanging above his head. Pedestrians on the road pointed at him from time to time, and some even whispered: "It's a fake corpse!"
After Mu Yu heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. His current appearance was indeed very reminiscent of a mummy. He quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and walked towards the orphanage. As for the old man and the fruit, it was all a dream after he fainted.
The next day, Mu Yu discovered that the strange disease that had tortured him for eleven years had disappeared, and the hunger that had been tormenting him all the time at that time was gone. Not only that, his strength has become several times greater than usual. His body functions gradually recovered, and within a few months, he recovered to be as normal as an ordinary person. Although he was shorter than his peers due to long-term malnutrition, he still looked much better than the mummy he had before.
——
This group of students stood aside one by one, looking like they were watching a good show. Mu Yu and Zhao Zhanpeng were students in the same class, and they were one or two in the class.
Others may not know Mu Yu's life experience, but Zhao Zhanpeng, who is a son of a wealthy family, has investigated everything clearly. The thought of Mu Yu's orphan status that has always been suppressed by him makes him feel disgusted with it. Every time there was an opportunity, he would make things difficult for this person who was a thorn in his side. Over time, the two of them became unable to deal with each other.
Mu Yu looked at Zhang Qiang in front of him and thought to himself, this guy has often given me a lot of trouble, what kind of tricks are he waiting for me this time?
Then he asked: "What's the matter?"
"Great talent, we are setting up the venue today. Our brother Zhao has brought a Christmas tree and wants you to take a look." Although Zhang Qiang said polite words, the look of disdain was still on his face. "But I think that with the eyes of a great talent, I might still look down on you. I don't know what you have brought this time."
Good guy, it turns out you are waiting for me here. Mu Yu also knew about Zhao Zhanpeng's plan at this time.
There is a rule in the orphanage that children who have not been adopted after reaching the age of 18 will no longer receive financial support from the orphanage and can only go out to fend for themselves. Although Mu Yu is still kept in the hospital by the dean's grandmother, this rule has been continued. On weekdays, tuition expenses are earned through part-time work. His life is already tight, so how can he still have money to buy any accessories? Zhao Zhanpeng also thought of this and wanted to compete with Mu Yu.
Mu Yu secretly said something childish in his heart. Ignoring what Zhang Qiang said, he walked straight to the Christmas tree.
"This tree looks good." Mu Yu said as he reached out and touched the Christmas tree gently. The tree shook slightly, and the star ornament on the top tilted and fell off. Then by accident, it hit Zhang Qiang between his legs.
Star jewelry is a metal product, so you can imagine its weight when dropped from a high place. Zhang Qiang fell to the ground in an instant, covering his crotch and wailing.
Zhao Zhanpeng's other younger brothers stepped forward to check Zhang Qiang's injury, and Zhao Zhanpeng came to Mu Yu. He asked sullenly: "What do you mean?"
"Is Zhang Qiang okay? I also wanted to touch this beautiful Christmas tree, but I didn't expect it to be of such poor quality and a bit dangerous." Although Mu Yu said she was concerned about Zhang Qiang, the smile on her lips was not So sincere.
Since his body recovered, Mu Yu has regained his previous self-confidence, even being sinister. Now that the other party is already riding on his head, there is nothing to say.
"you!"
Zhao Zhanpeng just hated Mu Yu's indifferent look. The younger brothers around him also surrounded Mu Yu, and as long as their boss gave an order, they would show off the man in front of him.
Just as the two were facing each other tit for tat, a melodious female voice came from behind the crowd of onlookers.
"What are you all doing here? Don't you need to decorate the venue?"
The crowd separated into a lane, and a girl walked out.
The girl is extremely beautiful, with long refreshing hair, a delicate face, clear eyes, and a fresh and natural aura that exudes from the inside out, painting a beautiful picture. The girl's name is Chen Xi. She is a famous campus beauty in the history department. She has many suitors, and Zhao Zhanpeng is one of them.
Chen Xi glanced at Zhang Qiang who had just been helped up, then walked up to Zhao Zhanpeng, intentionally or unintentionally protecting Mu Yu behind him, and asked, "What happened here?"
Zhao Zhanpeng was furious when he saw this scene. The biggest conflict between him and Mu Yu was the girl in front of him. Every time Mu Yu was in trouble, Chen Xi would immediately stand in front of him. The woman he loved stood in front of another man, which made Zhao Zhanpeng jealous. He was always thinking of ways to make Mu Yu embarrassed in front of Chen Xi.
Mu Yu also helplessly looked at Chen Xi who was standing in front of him. It could be said that after arriving at school, half of the troubles were caused by the girl in front of him.
Chen Xi's suitors saw that she was so kind to a man, so they started to trouble Mu Yu, his "love rival". Although Chen Xi unintentionally brought trouble to Mu Yu, it was also to help him. However, Mu Yu usually avoids this school beauty. After all, it is better to have less trouble than more trouble.
On the other side, when Zhao Zhanpeng saw Chen Xi standing up for Mu Yu again, he knew that this time the matter would have to be left alone.
After all, he couldn't lose his grace in front of the girl he loved, and said, "It's nothing serious. Zhang Qiang was hit by a decoration on the tree. We were just about to take him to the infirmary."
After all, they were all classmates. When he heard that Zhang Qiang was injured, Chen Xi also stepped forward to express some concern. Soon Zhao Zhanpeng led a group of younger brothers and carried Zhang Qiang to the infirmary. Before leaving, he gave Mu Yu a fierce look, as if to say that this matter was not over yet.
Seeing that a good show ended in such a muddle, the surrounding students dispersed one after another. Chen Xi also turned around at this time, only to find that Mu Yu, who was originally behind him, had disappeared.
Chen Xi stamped his feet hard. It's like this every time, why are you hiding from me? Chen Xi was dissatisfied, but she did not deliberately look for Mu Yu, because she knew that Mu Yu wanted to hide, and she would not be able to find him no matter what. After all, this was not the first time she had experienced it.
There is a huge ecological garden on the western outskirts of Xincheng University. This is where the Natural Science Department is used to cultivate plants. Mu Yu, who has just left the Lixue Hall, is watering and fertilizing the plants in the garden.
Uncle Wang, who originally looked after the park, passed away in June last year, leaving the park unattended. Mu Yu accepted the position of administrator to earn tuition and fees. So every evening I would come here to patrol, check the doors and windows, and take care of the plants. Over time, I developed the habit of growing flowers and plants.
After taking care of the flowers and plants, Mu Yu habitually put away the farm tools and walked out of the warehouse, only to find a person standing in the originally empty park.
This person was wearing a white robe, with long gray hair spread behind him. There was an aura that was not stained by smoke and dust all over his body, as if he was incompatible with this world. His eyes stayed on Mu Yu's body, showing a hint of sadness.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Yu, the man disappeared without a trace. Mu Yu was shocked. Could it be that he saw a ghost?
But after all, he is the administrator of this park. If a thief sneaks in, he will not be able to explain what he has lost. He squatted down, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and cautiously touched the place where the figure was just now.
Mu Yu held a wooden stick and looked around vigilantly for the figure. Logically speaking, even if he had to hide in such a short period of time, he would not leave too far away, but no matter how much he searched, there was no trace of anyone. Did he really see a ghost? I can't help but get goosebumps when I think of this.
Mu Yu finally came to the place where the man stood.
Surrounded by a green vegetable field, where the man originally stood, for some reason all the vegetable seedlings died, and a small white flower grew in the center of the dead vegetable seedlings.
The small white flowers looked ordinary, but they had a refreshing fragrance. Suddenly a white light bloomed from the flower buds, and Mu Yu could only close his eyes because of the burning pain.
After the light weakened, Mu Yu slowly opened his eyes, only to find that he had already left the park. There was nothing around, and it was all white as far as the eye could see, as if there was no end.
Although Mu Yu was surprised where he had arrived, he quickly calmed down. After all, things have already happened, and rushing is not an option.
"Is there anyone there? Where is this place?" Mu Yu slowly explored forward while calling loudly, hoping that someone could give him an answer. However, half an hour later, there was still dead silence around him.
Just as Mu Yu was observing the situation here, suddenly a sharp sword was stabbed out from his chest, and blood splashed on the floor in front of him. The severe pain caused him to stop thinking, and a large amount of blood flowed from his mouth. Spurting out, the sharp sword that had penetrated his chest was slowly withdrawn from his back.
Just like that, Mu Yu fell to the ground covered in his blood.
