After talking about this topic, the two of them were relatively speechless for a while. After a while, Chen Wei asked: "So, is there a definite answer to this story?"
"……what is the answer?"
"The speculation about goat horns. Although I explain it this way, it may be completely far-fetched. The devil just found a random goat and tore off a horn from its head. This story has no more precise explanation of the origin of the goat horns. Explain?"
"No, just listen to it as an ordinary story. Don't try to find a sense of reality in fictional things."
In response to his unkind words, Chen Wei could only smile sadly.
"What about the second story? Didn't I say you listened to two stories yesterday?"
"...That kind of ridiculous stuff won't have any impact if you don't listen to it."
"Don't be like this. It's already been mentioned anyway, so let's just talk about it. It's uncomfortable to keep it secret."
At Chen Wei's insistence, Zhou Yu had to say: "It's probably like this: There are three kingdoms on the Fairyland Continent, the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Red and the Kingdom of Stone. One day, a child was born in the territory of the Red Kingdom. A magic crystal, anyone who looks at it will be cursed, or turn into a stubborn stone, or turn into a monster. When the sages in the Red Kingdom heard the news, they came to smash the magic crystal. The sages rely on Using their own wisdom and ability to break through the obstacles, they finally came to the magic crystal. Because of their connection with the land, the magic crystal did not change immediately even when they looked at it. Just when they were about to smash the crystal, someone came from the Kingdom of Water. A huge black snake came out and swallowed the magic crystal into its belly. The sages were shocked and were about to cut open the snake's belly when the black snake suddenly laid a white snake egg. After the snake egg was broken, there was a flower inside. The blooming crystal flower. The black snake only glanced at the flower and swam away on its own. The sages who were left behind had no choice but to take the flower back to the cave where they lived and raise it with nectar and spring water. The flower It bloomed bigger and bigger, and the caves of the sages could no longer fit in, so they had no choice but to put the flowers in the sky and become a wandering star."
After Chen Wei listened, he almost didn't have time to think about it, and said quite clearly: "I have never heard a similar story."
"...I didn't ask you this either. I didn't want to say it in the first place."
Zhou Yu, who knew very well how inexplicable this story was, replied almost sullenly.
"No, I don't think this story is bad. In fact, it sounds quite interesting to me. But in terms of style, it looks more like it was compiled by someone in modern times. Are the characters in it all allusions?"
"Well, probably so. It is said that this is a very sinister and mean story."
"Is it said? Did you hear it from someone else? Then the other person should know the metaphor of this story, right?"
Chen Wei showed an interested look. Zhou Yu, who was not prepared to mention the situation of red leaves to him, immediately changed the subject and said: "Let's stop talking here. Where is your master? Isn't he back today?"
"Not yet. That person's whereabouts have always been very erratic, and it's not surprising to disappear for a month or two."
Although he didn't trust the role of "experts" from the bottom of his heart, he still frowned and asked, "Can't we contact you by phone?"
"No, we can't contact him. Although it may sound incredible to you, the young master is a primitive man living in modern times. He usually lives in seclusion and doesn't have a mobile phone at all. I doubt he even knows how to dial a number."
"Are you kidding? This kind of person can't survive in modern society, right?"
Chen Wei showed a subtle smile.
"...Because his family is very wealthy, and others usually take care of everything."
After hearing this impeccable answer, Zhou Yu was completely speechless. He resisted the urge to make comments like "Giant Baby Master" and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Then forget it, I'll think of a solution here. The sooner the student Zhang's matter is resolved, the better."
When he said this, Chen Wei suddenly stared at him thoughtfully: "Do you already have a solution?"
"Not sure yet."
"The loss of contact during the day yesterday has something to do with this, right?... No, even if you go out, you will always bring your mobile phone with you. It just so happens that you seem to be much more energetic today than before... Could it be that you have been there all day long? Are you sleeping? So what did you do the night before?"
Although the derivation process was wrong, the conclusion happened to be true. Zhou Yu expressed his acquiescence by remaining silent.
"Although the security in the city is not bad, and you are not a supernatural creature like a dwarf, it is better for girls not to travel alone late at night."
"Don't be nagging. I'm not going out alone."
Zhou Yu said a little impatiently. In order not to involve Hong Ye, he immediately took out the book in his backpack and opened it. That was a reference material for Zhou Yu's graduation project. Because the recent progress was worrying, even Zhou Yu had to start making up classes so that he could replace Zhou Yu to complete some basic work when necessary.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk in depth, Chen Wei wisely stopped the topic. Just then, the sound of running came from the stairs.
"Student Zhou, learn, learn, learn!"
Zhang Mumu ran towards the two of them happily, carrying a small pale pink paper bag. Because he was running too fast, there was a long, bumpy sound at the end of the sentence.
Her palms were still wrapped with gauze, but all ten fingers were exposed, so they didn't seem to be much hindrance.
As soon as she ran to the two of them, she lifted the paper bag towards Zhou Yu.
"Eat chocolate?"
"...Classmate Zhang, this is the library. If the administrator is alerted, we will all be kicked out."
Zhou Yu said as he took the small box handed by Zhang Mumu. Although snacks and drinks are prohibited in the Migenzhu University Library in principle, in reality due to the needs of students, the management turns a blind eye and never takes the initiative to ask about the items brought by students.
However, it is one thing to act in private, and another thing to commit a crime blatantly in front of the administrator. The exchange between Zhou Yu and Chen Wei just now was based on the premise that no one was nearby, and Zhang Mumu's movements were so loud that they could be heard even from one floor away.
Before the administrator heard about it, Zhou Yu opened the exquisite packaging box and took a look at the English label on the outside, only to realize that it was cherry vodka flavored chocolate.
"...Classmate Zhang, where did you buy this?"
"Sister Su Su bought it from a trip abroad."
As Zhang Mumu said this, he tried his best to swat away Chen Wei's extended hand.
"Sister Su Su said this is a welfare for girls! Ah Wei, go away!"
"Underage drinking is strictly prohibited. Please leave prohibited items to your guardian for safekeeping."
"No! Even if Ah Wei dies, he won't give it to him!"
Zhang Mumu, who made a cruel declaration, ran to Zhou Yu and sat down next to him with a paper bag in his arms. He hid the paper bag inside the table.
Zhou Yu took small bites of the chocolate bar while observing the recovery of her fingers. It's probably because I smoked very pure dark chocolate. It doesn't taste very sweet, only the subtle bitterness and wine aroma melt together.
Enjoying snacks on a sunny day, even Zhou Yu had to admit that he felt at ease and comfortable. On the other side, Chen Wei seemed to be really interested in chocolate, constantly bluffing and pretending to come and snatch it.
"Ah Wei, go away! Ah Wei is dead!"
"Just eating one is not an excessive request, right? Moreover, we are now a civilized society, and men and women must be equal."
"Liar! Sister Susu said you had already eaten!"
"Just one. I happen to be hungry too, so I'll give you another one to fill my stomach."
Even so, Zhang Mumu still wavered under Chen Wei's repeated persuasion. Finally, she took out a heavy glass crisper from her backpack.
"Then you eat this."
She opened the lid of the box and inside were pineapple slices soaked in salt water. After Chen Wei took one piece, she turned the box to Zhou Yu.
"Student Zhou, do you want to eat?"
"No need. I'm not very used to eating sour food."
"It's not sour, it's been soaked in salt water. It won't hurt your stomach!"
Hearing this conversation, Chen Wei, who was concentrating on eating pineapple, suddenly laughed strangely.
After the two people across from him looked at him, he said, "I remembered a story about pineapples."
“…pineapple ghost story?”
"No, I heard it from a friend in the biology class. When you eat pineapple, do you sometimes feel a sore mouth? This is because the ingredients contained in the pineapple itself can hydrolyze muscle tissue, which is similar to the digestive enzymes in the acid environment of the stomach. This is A protease cannot be completely inactivated even if soaked in salt water, so——"
He swallowed the pineapple slices and concluded: "—When you eat pineapple, the pineapple eats you."
"Please apologize to Nietzsche and his abyss now."
"It's just a joke. Speaking of which, little guy, do you want to hear a story? Classmate Zhou just told two very interesting stories. Although she refused to tell me, it seemed that she had a wonderful time the night before yesterday."
Zhang Mumu immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Yu expectantly. Zhou Yu could only admit: "It was indeed a very magical night."
"Tell me about it! Are there aliens and ghosts?"
Facing her excited gaze, Zhou Yu felt a strange sense of relief. It was like escaping from a closed room.
"No comment." He smiled.
