"Uh... Handso, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaoling looked at him, puzzled.
"Ou Lu?"
"You know ?"
"Yeah! I do," ng Lang said with a smile, nodding his head.
It’s just that the way he knew her was a bit special...
Ou Lu had a puzzled look on her face as she carefully tried to recall who the person in front of her was, but she had no mory of him whatsoever.
"But... I don’t seem to know you. Sorry, where did we et?"
"In Wu City, you could say we’re from the sa hotown." ng Lang deliberately showed a hint of Beihu accent.
Ou Lu was montarily taken aback. Although it should have been a pleasant surprise to et an old acquaintance in a foreign land, her expression was still one of complete bafflent.
"Wu City? Sorry, I really can’t rember. Who are you...?"
ng Lang chuckled, "It’s okay if you don’t rember, let’s get to know each other again.
My na is ng Lang, ’ng’ as in ngzi, ’Lang’ as in wave."
Getting to know the characters from the book in the real world felt quite magical to ng Lang.
But Ou Lu still looked completely lost, even a bit embarrassed.
After all, he had ntioned her na and the place they supposedly knew each other from, but she had no recollection whatsoever, which was a bit disrespectful.
Seeing Ou Lu’s expression, Lin Xiaoling beside her knew for sure that her bestie did not recognize the guy in front of them at all.
She was certainly not as naive as Ou Lu.
"Yo, Xiao Lu, this handso guy has a pretty unique way of hitting on you," Lin Xiaoling laughed.
"There are plenty who want to chase you here, but you’re the first to try and get close by using being fellow townsn as an excuse, you’ve really done your howork."
ng Lang: "..."
"Alright, handso, although we’re fellow townsn, it’s just not your lucky day today, we’ve got stuff to do. If you want contact info, we’ll talk another ti.
Xiao Lu, let’s hurry up, the car is waiting."
As she spoke, she was about to pull her bestie away.
She knew that Ou Lu was always annoyed by guys hitting on her on the street, so her role as a "fly swatter" instantly ca into play.
"Uh..." ng Lang was a bit helpless.
Indeed, his purpose today was very simple: to get his face known.
As a forr "fellow sufferer," now a stranger.
ng Lang wanted to uncover why Ou Lu, this "sample of fate," had managed to escape her destined death. The most direct and effective thod was to stick by her side, to listen to her words and observe her actions.
To understand what exactly she had seen in Xiao Yu’s "X Chronicles."
Only then could he use the wings of the little butterfly, attempting to break through with "Ou Lu" as the starting point, and save more lives lost in that siege...
"Hey! Wait for !" Just as he was about to say sothing else, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his shoulder.
"What are you doing? The girl doesn’t want to, and you still want to force it? That’s not what a gentleman should do!"
ng Lang turned around, confused, to see a suave man in a crisp suit, looking handsoly behind him.
"Doctor Fang!" Lin Xiaoling called out from behind, clearly recognizing the man.
You’re the gentleman, your whole family is gentleman!
ng Lang couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Who is this? You’re not even supposed to be in the plot...
Alright, seems like my own change of "lines" caused the butterfly’s wings to flap this way by accident...
Extras in life, they really do improvise, and they co out so bloody random...
Seeing the security guard approaching, ng Lang sighed internally.
All I wanted was to have a chat, just to increase friendliness...
"Stop right there!"
Suddenly, a sharp command made everyone on the scene pause and look in the direction of the voice.
"Uh..."
ng Lang looked in astonishnt at the one-and-a-half-ter-tall figure striding angrily toward them.
Duan Xiaoyi? Why is it her?
...
Ti rewound not long before.
"Dad, the doctor said you’ve recovered very well from this check-up, but you still need to rest more, eat less greasy food, and of course, no alcohol."
"Heh! Alright! I get it, I’ve been back from the gates of hell, I know what’s important."
"Dad, congratulations, you’ve finally revived with full health! Hee hee!"
"Go on! This child, always talking nonsense."
"Heh! Dad, let’s take you ho then."
"No need, no need, I haven’t visited Elder Qu in a while, and it’s not far. I’ll go and play chess with the old fella, you and Xiao Yi head ho first."
"Are you sure you’ll be okay on your own?" Duan Xian asked hesitantly.
"What kind of question is that, am I okay?
I can walk and run now; do you really need to leash to a belt before you’ll feel at ease? Go on, get going."
"Right... Okay, dad, then please be careful."
"If anything cos up, call us."
"I know, I know."
After watching Mr. Duan leave, Duan Xian and Duan Xiaoyi were just about to get in the car and head ho when Duan Xian suddenly exclaid.
"Huh? ng Lang?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaoyi looked in the direction of his gaze, and indeed, ng Lang was standing in front of two girls, speaking to one of them.
"It really is Xiao ng. That girl... could she be the one Xiao ng ntioned as his sweetheart?"
Duan Xian eyed Ou Lu, who stood opposite ng Lang, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Hmm! Seems like it. The guy does have good taste, and he said she was quite attractive. It must be hard work to win over a woman with probably many suitors."
"Hmph! She’s not even prettier than !" Duan Xiaoyi muttered to herself, feeling sowhat resentful as she sized up Ou Lu.
She wouldn’t say it out loud, but being publicly rejected by a man using another woman as the reason, the proud Duan Xiaoyi did care quite a bit inside.
