Monday morning.
The weekend had just passed, and even though communications and transportation were well developed, the children still had a lot to talk about when they met.
Especially Ort.
The kid was very excited when he arrived, and shouted to Mu Le from a distance: "Le Le!! Did you watch the latest episode of "Swamp Star Exploration" on StarTV this weekend?!"
Mu Le: “…No.”
Her answer did not dampen Erte's enthusiasm at all. He became even more excited and said, "It's really cool! You must watch it! Let's watch it while we have lunch today!"
Mu Le reminded him calmly: "The cafeteria does not allow random projection of light screens."
Ert: “…Oh.”
His voice was so loud that several students in the back row heard him and started laughing.
Ort: "Don't laugh, have you seen it?"
After he asked this question, the cool tortoise guy in the last row laughed slowly.
Ert:
The students around laughed even more happily.
Mu Le couldn't help but laugh too, but the joyful atmosphere didn't last long as he saw Brown Bear teacher Bai Yan coming in from outside.
The moment he came in, the classroom became quiet.
Everyone opened the e-books distributed by the school and found their textbooks to prepare for morning reading.
At noon that day, when the three children went to the cafeteria to eat, Mu Le told them about Kong Yu'an and enthusiastically invited everyone to watch the Star Board game together.
The other two kids nodded in agreement, and Ort asked, "Should we call some more people over? Our cheers can't be weaker than those of other schools. Oh, I heard that Lu Lu's star drums are really good! Let him be our cheerleader!!!"
Mu Le: “…”
Lu Lu is the cool tortoise guy who is very slow to react.
There are so many flaws in this sentence. I don't know why people started comparing the cheering sounds, Lu Lu's star drums, and the cheerleading team...
For a moment, Mu Le didn't know where to start complaining.
Xiang Fei whispered in agreement: "Lu Lu, went to the Planet Venue and performed. It was amazing."
Mu Le didn't know what the Star Drum was either. It was probably a musical instrument of this era. From the name, it sounded like a drum...
It was really hard for her to imagine the scene of a cool guy in slow motion beating drums and cheering on his classmates.
But Xiang Fei is an honest kid and never lies.
So Mu Le nodded and said, "Okay, let's go talk to them during the break in the afternoon."
She originally planned to go to the Ancient Research Society after dinner and wait for Gu Mingzhou to come.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the restaurant, I met Gu Mingzhou at the exit.
He stood at the door listening to music, with earphones in both ears, and playing with his laptop with an expressionless face.
It’s a bit like a young boy waiting for his girlfriend to go home after school at the school gate.
Mu Le came over, stood on tiptoe, and waved his hand in front of him.
Gu Mingzhou took off his headphones, frowned and looked at her impatiently—then he was stunned.
He paused for a full ten seconds, and Mu Le looked at him blankly.
Ten seconds later, Gu Mingzhou seemed to have finally found his voice: "... Did you use induced hormones?"
Mu Le: “… ?”
"... You were still this small the last time I saw you." Gu Mingzhou stretched his hand down and placed it near his thigh, then pulled it back and compared it to Mu Le's current height, "You've grown to this size in just a few days?"
Mu Le: "... How can it be so exaggerated?"
At most, last time her height reached Gu Mingzhou's lower abdomen, but now it is a little higher and has not yet reached his chest.
There's no need to make such a fuss about this kind of gap.
Gu Mingzhou stared at her: "You...are growing so fast?"
He probably wanted to say, "Do all humans grow so fast?"
However, there were so many people at the entrance of the cafeteria that he didn't dare to say it directly.
Mu Le touched the back of his head: "Not really, I'm special."
Gu Mingzhou: "Do humans also have different races?"
"… No." Mu Le didn't know how to explain to him, "This involves a big secret. Your brother didn't even ask me, why are you so curious?"
When Mu Le said this, his eyes suddenly widened.
She saw a tail behind Gu Mingzhou - it was swinging back and forth impatiently!
That tail was not like that of a furry little animal. It was more like that of a lizard or a dinosaur. Mu Le had never seen anything like it before on Earth. At most, he had only seen it on TV...
His tail is very dark in color, similar to the color of dragon horns, and looks very thick and powerful. It hangs down behind him, and every shake shows the irritability of the tail's owner.
Following Mu Le's gaze, the tail's movements gradually slowed down.
Gu Mingzhou looked at Mu Le who seemed to have discovered a new world and sneered: "Why are you staring at my tail?"
Mu Le replied in a low voice: "I didn't expect you had a tail. Does Yuan Yuan have one too?"
Gu Mingzhou: "You have never seen the world. Who doesn't have a tail? My brother has one too, but no one can see it. A strong person can control it."
Mu Le blinked and saw his tail disappear.
She asked curiously, "Won't your pants be torn?"
Gu Mingzhou: "...Which remote place did you come from? It's not a thousand years ago."
Mu Le: “…” So clothes are also high-tech
"Let's go, don't waste any more time." Gu Mingzhou held Mu Le's shoulders to block her curious gaze, "Too much nonsense."
Mu Le: “…”
He pushed Mu Le forward for a while, and gradually walked side by side with her. Gu Mingzhou thought about it, and finally stretched out his hand and let Mu Le hold his hand.
Mu Le looked at his hands, a little hesitant.
Gu Mingzhou raised his hand: "You keep dawdling. By the time you get to the Ancient Research Society, you've already had classes. Do you want me to carry you?"
Mu Le: “…”
The image of her being carried on his shoulders like a sandbag immediately appeared in her mind.
And there is no doubt that Gu Mingzhou can really do such a thing.
So Mu Le put her hand into his and slowly held it.
When I held the little girl's hand in my hand, I could feel that she had indeed grown a little, but she was still as delicate as before.
Gu Mingzhou pinched it and sneered again.
"Humans are so weak." He said, "Be careful not to make my brother angry. He only needs to grab your neck and squeeze it lightly - and you will die."
Mu Le looked at him with a caring look for the mentally retarded: "If your brother pinches your neck hard, you will die too."
Gu Mingzhou: “…”
She wasn't afraid at all.
Mu Le was held by his hand and walked forward. She could clearly feel that her legs had become longer as she grew taller. For the same distance, she could walk a little faster than before and it was not as strenuous.
But every advantage has its disadvantages.
When I was a child, I could act like a spoiled child and lie in the arms of an adult when I couldn’t walk.
When you grow up, you have to take every step by yourself.
Mu Le sighed quietly and said to Gu Mingzhou: "I really want to see Yuan Yuan's tail..."
Gu Mingzhou: "Are you really not afraid of my brother at all?"
Mu Le glanced at him and said, "He has never been mean to me, why should I be afraid of him?"
Gu Mingzhou opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
There is never any reason for others to be afraid of them, and they have never been cruel to others. But just by standing there, many people will be afraid of them.
Mu Le's matter-of-fact tone made him at a loss as to how to respond.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." Mu Le's mind was full of tail matters, and he almost forgot about the main business. "This weekend, our school club is going to participate in the interstellar board competition. Do you want to go and watch it together?"
Gu Mingzhou was stunned: "What?"
"It's the Starboard Competition." Mu Le said, "It is said that Kong Yu'an is the main player - the peacock we had dinner with in the cafeteria before. There are too few people in our school's Starboard Club, so he asked me to invite more friends to go and watch."
This incident happened not long ago, and she didn't believe that Gu Mingzhou's memory would be so bad.
Gu Mingzhou did remember, but he was still confused: "What does this have to do with me?"
Mu Le: "You are also invited."
Gu Mingzhou's expression was very shocked. He looked like he wanted to be happy, but he was holding back his emotions. There was no expression on his face, and his voice was trembling a little: "... You and I are not friends."
… This kid is really awkward.
Your eyes are clearly filled with anticipation, so why are you still being so stubborn
Mu Le patted his back: "We have eaten together before, so we are already friends."
Gu Mingzhou: “…”
The author has something to say: Mu Le: I want to touch the tail!!!
Not present Gu Mingyuan: ... (sneezed)
