Chapter 2: 02. The Awakener
Let me first say the conclusion. Gao Yang may have to say goodbye to his single life.
The story started two days ago.
Two days ago, Wang Zikai, Gao Yang's best friend, stole Gao Yang's mobile phone and sent a 300-word "affectionate confession" to Li Weiwei, trying to trick him.
When Gao Yang found out, he couldn't withdraw it. Although he immediately sent a message to explain, Li Weiwei didn't reply. Not only that, she didn't talk to Gao Yang again in the next two days, and she deliberately avoided him at school.
Li Weiwei and Gao Yang were childhood sweethearts. Their two families lived close to each other. They knew each other in kindergarten, and later moved to the city together and went to the same high school. It can be said that they were very destined.
According to the host's memory before the age of 6, he did have a crush on Li Weiwei. When he first saw Li Weiwei, the little beauty, in kindergarten, he secretly decided to marry her when he grew up. Unfortunately, his dream didn't come true in time, and Gao Yang traveled through time.
Over the years, thanks to Li Weiwei, Gao Yang has been envied and hated by the male classmates in the class.
Gao Yang naturally has deep feelings for Li Weiwei. He likes her, because who doesn't like beautiful women? But he never thought about it that way. If he had to be hypocritical, it might be that he lacked a little "heartbeat".
In two months, the classmates will graduate from the college entrance examination and go their separate ways.
As Gao Yang's best friend, Wang Zikai couldn't stand it - in fact, he was just bored and decided to "match" the two, so there was this prank.
Now, two days later, Li Weiwei finally replied to WeChat and said I promise you.
Gao Yang was in a complicated mood. He thought, didn't I explain to you that this was a prank message from Wang Zikai? Why did you ignore that message?
No, I have to explain again...
WeChat rang again, "Let's meet today?"
Gao Yang hesitated and replied "OK".
...
2pm. Shanqing District. Dawan Square.
When Gao Yang came over, Li Weiwei had been waiting for a while.
It was a rare weekend holiday. Li Weiwei changed into a light green sweater, and her hair, which was usually tied up, fell softly on her shoulders. When the wind blew, the girl's hair and skirt fluttered gently. She held the long hair by her ears and waved happily to Gao Yang, "Here, Gao Yang, here!"
The spring breeze was bright and beautiful, and the girl smiled like a flower.
At that moment, Gao Yang could more or less understand the feelings of those licking dogs in the class. He really didn't know how to appreciate his blessings.
Gao Yang walked over with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay. Qing Ling and I went around first. I just bought some teaching materials in the bookstore and bought two books for you." Li Weiwei said.
Gao Yang then noticed that there was a tall girl with a ponytail standing not far behind Li Weiwei. She was playing with her mobile phone coolly with one hand in her pocket.
The girl with the ponytail is named Qing Ling, 1.67 meters tall, a sprinter in the class, and Li Weiwei's best friend.
In addition, Qing Ling is also recognized as a goddess by the whole school.
It goes without saying that she has a beautiful face. She is exposed to the sun every day, and her skin is as white as snow, which is too much. Due to long-term training, the curvy body curves under the tight sportswear are full of pleasing artistic beauty, and her long legs are a ten-level straight man killer.
But what's interesting is that compared to Li Weiwei, who can give out the nice guy card every now and then, Qing Ling has almost no suitors. Because she never talks to boys, or more accurately, the look in her eyes when she looks at boys always reveals a physiological disgust like seeing a fly.
Over time, everyone knows that she has misogyny for men, and no longer asks for trouble.
But Gao Yang believes that she is not misogyny for men, she is probably a beautiful... lily.
As if she noticed Gao Yang's gaze, Qing Ling put down her phone and looked up to meet Gao Yang's gaze. The strong aura and the deep disgust... made Gao Yang feel that he was not only a fly, but also a fly staring at sh*t.
"Qingling, do you want to join us?" Li Weiwei shouted to Qingling.
"No, you two have fun." Qingling smiled at Li Weiwei as gentle as an angel.
Double standards! Too double standards!
...
In the afternoon, Gao Yang drank milk tea, watched movies, and ate barbecue with Li Weiwei, spending a happy and lively day.
Late at night, Gao Yang sent Li Weiwei home. On the quiet and deserted road, Li Weiwei walked in front. As they walked, she suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, do you regret it?"
"Ah? What do you regret?" Gao Yang asked.
Li Weiwei blushed, "I regret confessing to me."
"Weiwei, actually..."
"I thought you would be happier if I agreed to you." Li Weiwei tilted her head, her eyes a little unconfident, "But I can't say for sure, do you guys become bored immediately after chasing a girl? And then find out that you don't really like the other person."
"No, actually that paragraph..."
"Gao Yang," Li Weiwei narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction and looked at Gao Yang, "What happened to you today? Are you hiding something from me?"
"...Is there?"
"Yes! You have been
"I'm absent-minded all day." Li Weiwei said with a somewhat unhappy tone.
In fact, Gao Yang was indeed a little absent-minded today. He wanted to use the "date" to distract himself, but the more he told himself not to care, the more he couldn't help thinking about it.
Gao Yang hesitated again and again, and still asked, "Li Weiwei, I want to ask you a question."
"Ask."
"Didn't your grandmother die of a cerebral hemorrhage in the third year of junior high school?"
"Yes."
"Did you see her for the last time?"
Li Weiwei was stunned and blinked, "What do you mean?"
"That's right, have you seen her body after her death?"
"I was at school at the time. When I went home, my parents had already sent her to be cremated."
"Is that so."
Gao Yang thought to himself.
"Is there anything strange? "Li Weiwei was puzzled.
"Nothing..." Gao Yang hesitated.
Although Gao Yang was only 6 years old before crossing, he had attended the funeral of the dean. He had long been vaguely aware that this parallel world was still somewhat different from his previous world.
For example, in today's world, many people will be cremated as soon as they die, without holding customs such as "farewell ceremonies for the dead."
So anxious, as if to destroy some evidence, such as his grandfather, such as Li Weiwei's grandmother.
Thinking of this, Gao Yang was inexplicably shocked.
"What's wrong with you... your face looks so ugly." Li Weiwei noticed something.
Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "Li Weiwei, have you ever thought that the world we live in is actually full of dangers."
Li Weiwei suddenly became nervous, "What do you want to say, you, don't scare me..."
"I was caught by a mentally ill person last night, you know?"
"I heard that, fortunately the police shot that person to death, you were not injured, I was worried about you. "Li Weiwei blushed when she said this, "Actually, it was because of this incident that I decided to agree to your confession."
Gao Yang shook his head, "No, in fact, he didn't intend to hurt me at all at that time, but warned me."
"Warning?" Li Weiwei was confused, "Warning about what?"
Gao Yang simply told the story again, and mentioned that his grandfather died when he was five years old.
Li Weiwei became more and more scared, and unconsciously moved closer, and her soft chest inadvertently pressed against Gao Yang's arm.
"Could it be a dream? After all, when I was so young..."
"No, it's definitely not a dream!" Gao Yang was sure.
"Do you think that your grandfather is..." Li Weiwei didn't dare to say anything more.
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, I just always feel that something is wrong."
"Didn't you secretly look into the room at that time?" Li Weiwei said, "What did you see? "
Gao Yang was silent. He did see something in his dream, but not to mention Li Weiwei, even he himself didn't know if it was an illusion.
"Actually..."
"Ah! Forget it, don't say it..." Li Weiwei lowered her head, "Let's go home quickly."
"Li Weiwei, don't you believe me?" Gao Yang grabbed Li Weiwei's hand.
Li Weiwei was stunned at first. She took some time to overcome her fear and nodded vigorously, "I believe you."
"I believe you too. I don't know who else I can tell this to except you." Gao Yang took a deep breath and said with courage, "Actually, I saw a hand."
"Hand?"
"Well, to be precise, it's an arm. It's as thick as a normal person's thigh, covered with gray-green scales. Those scales are like small insects squeezed together, and they can wriggle and roll. In short, they are disgusting..."
"Oh my God..."
"I don't know what it is, but it can't be a human hand. "Gao Yang frowned.
"Gao Yang." Li Weiwei looked up at him, "Is this the hand you are talking about? "
Gao Yang was startled!
——A sharp pain came from his wrist!
He looked down and saw that Li Weiwei's small and white arm was suddenly torn apart, and the blue-gray fleshy scales were drilling out from the inside one by one.
Under the moonlight, the edges of the scales flowed with a pale and gloomy luster. They were getting longer and longer, along Gao Yang's arm, drilling into the skin little by little, sucking his blood like a leech.
"Li Weiwei...you..."
Li Weiwei quickly stretched out her other hand, pinched Gao Yang's neck, and lifted him up easily. The blue-gray scales on the girl's arm turned into soft and sticky tentacles, drilling into Gao Yang's mouth, nostrils, ear canals, and even the corners of his eyes.
Gao Yang's head was under unimaginable pressure. He felt that in a few seconds, his head would burst like a watermelon in a microwave.
"Gao Yang, thank you. "Li Weiwei's voice did not change, and was even gentler than before.
She smiled, "You are the first awakener I have ever met."
"..."
"I will never, ever forget you."
