Chapter 235 Parkour Academy 35
Li Mo suddenly looked in the direction where Mu Bai was standing.
The person is still the same, but the look in their eyes is different.
On the surface, nothing seems different; someone familiar with the person could tell at a glance. Beneath that feigned composure lay curiosity and confusion, an eagerness to take the first step, and a hint of sadness that lingered for some reason.
When those eyes looked over, they were both unfamiliar and clear. If Li Mo hadn't been by his side all along, he would have thought that Mu Bai had suddenly become a different person.
But, how could it be?
Li Mo suppressed the sudden pang of bitterness rising in his heart and feigned enthusiasm as he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Ah Bai, come home with me after we get back."
"My mother, Ms. Zhong Xiuyu, is beautiful and virtuous, and she adores young girls like you. When you come to my house, I'll have my mother cook for you. She's an excellent cook, and you'll definitely love it once you've tasted it."
“My dad is a typical old-fashioned cadre, he always has a stern face. But don’t be afraid, I will protect you. Besides, he’s very busy with work and is often not home.”
“Last year I bought a holographic gaming pod, it was super expensive, and I heard it’s still in the experimental stage. But the experience is really amazing, the visual impact is incredible.” Li Mo wanted to talk to Mu Bai more to calm his increasingly uneasy emotions.
"And there's Snow White... But please don't get me wrong, Snow White is our family's sheepdog. My mom loves her because she's so affectionate."
Li Mo kept his eyes on Mu Bai, observing her every move.
Faced with his own incessant chatter, Mu Bai's face showed no feigned indifference or impatience. Nor did it display any aloofness, as if he were from another world. On the contrary, he suppressed his excitement, his eyes practically gleaming. Yet, as if he were preoccupied with something, he pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Mu Bai," Li Mo suddenly called her name.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" His feigned indifference met the probing gaze. The light that was about to burst forth subconsciously recoiled.
She reacted very quickly, as if that was her real name.
Could I have misunderstood? Or has she simply not changed?
Li Mo knew, however, that something was different.
This is very important!!
Faced with those eyes that deliberately concealed their light, Li Mo remained silent, simply staring directly at her with those unfathomable eyes.
Li Mo realized once again that they were different; Ah Bai's eyes rarely lit up, and she had never looked at him like that.
She was always calm, indifferent, even aloof towards things and events. It was as if she had lost all emotions after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, numb and unable to feel even a ripple.
So when Li Mo discovered that her persistence and words could provoke the other person, and when a ripple appeared in her eyes, Li Mo felt excited and proud. There was also a strange sense of satisfaction, as if she had finally broken through a stagnant pool, and a feeling of pride welled up within her. She was even more excited than if she had been number one every year.
Li Mo tirelessly repeated this task, as if he were personally painting his favorite colors onto a blank sheet of paper, finding joy in it no matter what.
This secret joy is something no one can share, nor do they want anyone to share.
Just like myself now.
He kept this secret to himself, with no one to confide in. He brooded alone, searching, tentatively exploring, his silent and intense struggle nearly tearing himself apart.
"Let's go, what are you spacing out for?" Xiao Ruochen dragged his right foot and blocked the way toward the medical room.
"Oh, okay." Li Mo forced a smile, a smile that was bitter and bewildered, one that should never have appeared on Li Mo's face.
Mu Bai watched as the person was pulled away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Why do I feel a little guilty, thinking I've given myself away?
Mu Bai straightened his back and puffed out his chest.
He slammed the door shut, went into his room, and completely let loose.
I am who I am.
Mu Bai himself is the one in question.
"Is this my room? It's so beautiful and high-end, it looks really expensive. I didn't dare to look around outside, it scared me to death."
"The paintings on the wall are so beautiful, they have an indescribable feeling about them. It's like that... artistic conception described in books?"
After admiring the paintings for a while, Mu Bai started looking at other things.
Carefree and happy, leaving everyone else behind.
Mu Bai completely disregarded Li Mo's suspicions and probing. The fairy had already said she wasn't familiar with anyone yet. Now that he was back, he could get to know everyone again and make new friends. As for his public image, he could change that later; a bright future awaited him.
Mu Bai touched the storage ring on his hand, grinning foolishly.
In the aircraft's medical room,
When Xiao Ruochen stopped Li Mo from going in, five or six people had already been laid into the medical pod.
The two instructors quickly carried the person inside.
"You're so badly injured, why are you only arriving now? Do you want to lose that leg? Look how pale you are,"
Xiao Ruochen forced a smile.
"My leg doesn't hurt that much." But his fingers were throbbing, as if they were being peeled off his body. Compared to his fingers, the large gash on his leg seemed insignificant.
"Young people just like to show off. He's injured like this and still says it doesn't hurt." After settling the person in, the mentors discussed the competition next to the medical pod.
There was clearly something fishy about this competition; Blue Star was being targeted. Fortunately, the children performed admirably, and the results were quite good.
Blue Star ranked tenth out of thousands of planets, which is quite remarkable.
Perhaps it was out of jealousy or resentment.
Listening to his mentor's discussion, Xiao Ruochen suddenly came to this conclusion. He pondered his report upon returning, trying to distract himself from the pain in his fingers. The numbness, itching, and pain were intense, a sensation that sent shivers down his spine. Yet, he had to endure it, unable to do anything.
Li Mo only had some minor scratches. Ten minutes later, he emerged with smooth, flawless skin, still glistening from the medical pod. Xiao Ruochen glanced at him and was completely relieved, so much so that he overlooked his good friend's unusual emotional state.
If you don't care so much, how could you so quickly notice that something is wrong with another person, separated by reality and physical appearance?
By the time Xiao Ruochen noticed, Li Mo was already completely dejected.
In the training room, Li Mo ignored his body's screams and practiced numbly, over and over again. Sweat had soaked his clothes. Li Mo faced forward, his eyes vacant, simply repeating the movements in his hands.
Xiao Ruochen stood outside, quietly watching Li Mo. He didn't understand what had happened.
It was only later that they discovered that Mu Bai and Li Mo had suddenly become strangers, no longer contacting each other, and even when they met, they acted like complete strangers. It was as if the previous liveliness had never happened.
The once vibrant Li Mo had lost her color, her face was expressionless, and she was taciturn, as if she had become a different person.
Mu Bai found it strange that when he came, he always liked to stay in his room, doing something. But when he went back, he preferred to stay in crowded places, even if he was alone in peace.
Everyone knew they had broken up; for no reason, without any warning.
Mu Bai was completely in the dark, unaware of the situation. He took it for granted because the two had no connection.
Xiao Ruochen hesitated several times, wanting to ask what had happened between the two of them.
If you're unhappy, why break up? It only torments yourself and the other person.
Seeing that the person was becoming more and more composed, Xiao Ruochen put aside that idea.
That's good, because hardship leads to growth.
Li Mo and Xiao Ruochen, these privileged individuals, were among the first to enter society.
Different ages, different social circles. This period of youthful naiveté ultimately ended without a trace, leaving nothing to be resolved.
When this period was later discussed, everyone was still a bit confused.
The relationship between the two started suddenly and ended inexplicably. Most people guessed that the former school bully, who was fearless and powerful, got tired of this game of the boy pursuing the girl and suddenly found it boring, which is quite normal.
