Wang Yijian and Lu Bingyan looked at each other, puzzled. Unfortunately, there were too many people in the square. While they looked at each other, the fool took the opportunity and ran away.

It seemed like the fool was really hurt by what he saw.

Lu Bingyan wanted to chase the fool, but when she just lifted her feet she noticed that pervert was rubbing his body against a young girl while ogling her with a pair of aggressive eyes. She instantly panicked, and her face quickly went pale. She couldn’t help but shiver. That man was like a nightmare that she could never get rid of.

With just a moment of hesitation, the fool disappeared in the darkness. Seeing this, Lu Bingyan gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and began to chase the fool. But her little heart was still beating fast.

Seeing Lu Bingyan run away, Wang Yijian cursed secretly. She was supposed to be his girlfriend for this evening. Now that his girlfriend left the party, he could not just stay there alone. Therefore, he also quickly followed Lu Bingyan and left the party.

Seeing this scene, the shaking body of Song Ying, who was in tears, suddenly became stiff.

…

The performance on the stage still carried on, the colorful lights were shone back and forth on every young face, speakers blasted out loud rock music, and the people in the crowd shook their bodies wildly as if they wanted to let go of all the restraint and enjoy the last evening. None of those people noticed that the fool had already left the party, and no one in the crowd seemed to notice that a man with a disheveled beard was taking advantage of a girl, who was standing in front of him.

It was the first time for Wang Yijian to notice that the physical ability of the fool was so good. He had already used all his strength, but he still couldn’t catch up with him, as if he was a wild animal.

Of course, the reason why he thought this way was that he didn’t want to admit he was weaker than other men. Especially in front of Lu Bingyan. It would only make sense if the fool was a wild animal.

However, even Lu Bingyan’s physical strength also seemed to be better than him. In just a few moments, she was really far away from him. But even that, she still couldn’t catch up with the fool.

Fortunately, the fool wasn’t just running all the time, he would stop from time to time and look everywhere as if he was looking for something.

Eventually, they caught up with the fool in one teaching building.

In the corridor of the building, the light was very dim as if it could go out at any moment. Under the dim light, the fool’s shadow was long and blurry, and as the light flickered from time to time, the shape of his shadow also changed from time to time as if it was alive.

At the end of the corridor was the activity room for the student council. There were many photos stuck on the wall outside the activity room, some of them had already turned yellow. In the dim light, the small notes under each photo also swayed with light, becoming very hard to read.

The corridor was too dark and there were only a few people inside. When the wind blew into the corridor it caused very creepy noises. Because of the incident she had last time, Lu Bingyan was instinctively scared of this kind of place, so she stopped at the door, didn’t dare to go into the building alone. It was only after she waited there for a few moments did Wang Yijian finally have a chance to show off his manly spirit.

“Dumm…”

A few moments later, Wang Yijian appeared at the other end of the corridor. He bent over with his hands on his knees, panting heavily. Just when he was about to utter one word, he suddenly stopped.

Something wasn’t right about the fool.

Because he, who was not a normal person, was currently standing in front of the wall that had many photos, like a normal person. He was no longer running or shouting, but just staring at one of the photos quietly, not moving.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Bingyan was following Wang Yijian close behind. Seeing him stopped, she asked in confusion.

“Dummy is acting very strangely.” Wang Yijian said in an uncertain tone while pointing at the end of the corridor.

When he said those words, he didn’t even realize that they were talking about a mentally ill man. Mentally ill people acting strangely should be a normal thing.

Lu Bingyan looked at the dark stairway behind her nervously and carefully moved closer to Wang Yijian, and said in a nervous voice, “then, what shall we do?”

How would Wang Yijian know what to do?

But he must come up with an idea. Otherwise, how was he going to ask Lu Bingyan out in the future? This was a great opportunity for him to show her that he was the man that she could rely on, and he was the man that would protect her!

However, before he had time to squeeze out an idea, the fool suddenly spoke, with a tone of infinite desolation.

“She died.”

Wang Yijian and Lu Bingyan looked at each other in shock. They didn’t know what the fool was talking about.

Then the fool reached out his hand to take off one photo and used his finger to stroke the photo gently. Two lines of muddy tears streaked down from his eyes to his chin, as he said with a helplessly but tender tone, “you are so silly and I’m so stupid.”

When Wang Yijian saw this, he put his hand near his mouth and coughed a few times as if he wanted to say something.

The fool slowly turned around and took a quick glance at them. His expression was extremely cold and stern, and the fierce gleam emitted by his eyes was like a sharp-edged knife. The feeling he gave to other people had completely changed. At this moment, he didn’t look like a fool at all.

Wang Yijian had never seen this kind of expression appearing on the fool’s face before. The words that he wanted to say earlier all stuck in his throat.

And even Lu Bingyan, who had personally seen the fool staring at the lake seriously at night, was also frightened by the fool’s expression now. She gathered all her courage and used her shaking voices and said, “Dum… Dummy, are you okay?”

The fool suddenly frowned his brows and walked towards them. Lu Bingyan and Wang Yijian didn’t know whether it was because the dim light in the corridor caused some optical illusion or something else, they just saw the fool only made one step, but in the next step, he appeared in front of them.

“What’s your name?”

“You, you, all right? Dummy, listen to me, relationship this kind of thing, you can’t get it using force. If a woman is truly good for you, she can save your computer at least 30 gigabytes of hard disk space. Besides, I don’t think that girl…”

After the fool talked, the tension was instantly eased, and Wang Yijian finally let out a sigh of relief and began to talk nonstop. The words he said were the words that he normally used to comfort the lads in his dormitory whenever they broke up with their girlfriends, so he was confident that it would work on the fool as well. However, only after he said it out did he just realized one thing, why would he say those words in front of Lu Bingyan. His image was completely ruined by this!

“What’s your name?”

Seeing the fool’s expression become colder and colder, Lu Bingyan quickly grabbed the corner of Wang Yijian’s cloth and signaled him to stop talking nonsense but answer his question.

“Wang Yijian. But don’t you know that already?” Wang Yijian said while still thinking to himself that he shouldn’t have said those words.

“And you?” The fool looked at Lu Bingyan and asked again.

Lu Bingyan was like a startled bunny, she replied nervously, “Lu, Lu Bingyan.”

Only until this moment, did Wang Yijian finally realize what happened. He could not help but ask in surprise, “you, you recovered?”

But unexpectedly, what the fool said next made them completely speechless. “you got money? I need a drink.”

…..

Wang Yijian sent Lu Bingyan back to her dormitory and then went to the supermarket to buy two bottles of strong liquors, of course, it was the cheapest kind. He didn’t want to spend all the money that he saved on the fool.

On the No. 2 teaching building roof. Wang Yijian didn’t know what method the fool used, he opened the locked door very easily. Standing on the edge of the roof, he was gulping down the alcohol Wang Yijian bought.

“I remembered a lot of things.”

In the cold wind, the fool didn’t look stupid at all.

Wang Yijian ate the peanut he bought lethargically and then responded to the Fool absentmindedly, he had no interest in listening to the fool’s story, if weren’t for the fact that he had not agreed to Lu Bingyan, he would have already gone back to his dormitory and slept in his bed now.

“Lots, lots of pieces, just floating around in my head.”

The fool waved his hand as if the memory pieces he was talking about, were right before his eyes.

“That’s because you have drunk too much!” Wang Yijian replied in a sullen manner.

The fool shook his head and said quietly, “I know that I can connect them together if I want to.”

Wang Yijian was fighting to keep his eyes open, he said sleepily. “then, why not?”

The fool raised his head and looked at the night, that was without the moon and stars, and said with his lost voice, “I don’t know. I only know that I must remember them, no matter what. But I am also afraid to remember them as if they were not just memories but endless pain as well!”

Wang Yijian could not help but think to himself, that, of course, it would not be some good memories, otherwise, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. But then again, he also could not help but feel sympathy for the fool. Who knows what kind of pain it was, that it even made him forget everything in the past. “then, what are you planning to do?” He asked sympathetically.

However, the fool did not respond to him, he just kept drinking the alcohol.

Seeing this, Wang Yijian seemed to realize something, he sighed and said, “so that’s why you wanted to drink! You want to run away from it? Yeah, that’s kind of the right choice, after you are drunk, you will forget everything again.”

The fool stared at the night sky, but shook his head, “can’t escape now, the darkness is coming… I only have one night, so I just want to drink tonight.”

Wang Yijian patted him on the shoulder, grabbed the bottle from his arms and sat down on the edge of the roof and said, “brother, let me drink with you! and don’t think too much, it is not a big deal, no matter what, at least, you are still alive, and as long as you are alive, there will be infinite possibilities, and there will be countless women, haha… cheers!”

The fool raised his neck, gulped down the bitter alcohol. However, he was still a lightweight drinker, so it was not long before he fell down and began to talk nonsense again.

Wang Yijian, who was also drunk, bent his arms around the fool’s shoulder and began to sing songs. Then very soon, the fool also followed him to sing. They were singing louder and louder on the roof until the security guards involved…

…..

At night, in the 313 girls’ dormitory.

“Bingyan you don’t want to rest?” the girl, who slept in the bunk bed opposite her, popped her head out of the quilt and asked.

“I am checking something, you can rest first,” said Lu Bingyan, who was sitting on her bed with her top body covered in a down jacket. There was a red SONY laptop on top of the quilt. At the moment, she was checking the information on the school website.

“Oh man, that boy from the Aurora college is really handsome!” Another girl, who just got in the bed, said excitedly.

“Yes, yes, so romantic! If one day such a handsome man walks up to me like that… I would die for it!”

“You wish.”

“Yes, did you not see that girl from the Aurora college. From the way she dressed, she is definitely from a rich family. Rich, pretty, and great body shape, you don’t have any chance!”

“You’re just envious!”

“Speaking of her, don’t you feel very strange, that she left so hurriedly?”

“What do you think is gonna happen? Of course, they need to find a room! Oh god, who will love me, please give me a handsome boy to warm my bed!”

“Oh my, you are really thirsty, aren’t you!”

…

Three little girls were constantly chit-chatting, and the more they talked the more excited they were, suddenly, Lu Bingyan raised her head and said, “so her name is Liu Li!”

A girl with sharp ears, sat up and asked curiously, “who? That girl from Aurora college?”

Lu Bingyan was dazed for a second and said, “no, not her. You all know that Dummy is looking for something he lost in the 311 girl’s dormitory, right? It turns out that he is looking for a girl, and she used to study in our university!”

The other two girls instantly became interested. The story about the fool was widespread in the university town. It was quite an interesting topic among students. Especially in Lu Bingyan’s dormitory.

“From which year?”

“What does she look like?”

“No picture, no truth!”

“Don’t tell me she died of some terminal illness? Like blood cancer, that kind of disease? And then Dummy refused to believe it. Henceforth, Dummy became crazy. He came to our uni to look for her because he thinks that she is still alive. Wow, so romantic!”

“You think this is some cliche Korean drama?”

“What do you mean?”

“Traffic accident, incurable disease, and the forbidden love between brother and sister. Those are all cliche tropes!” Only

“Oh come on, have you got no sympathy? Don’t say things like that. Watch your manners ladies! But then again, muahahaha… you seem to be very keen on Dummy!”

“So what exactly are you thinking?”

“Be honest with us!”

…

The night passed silently. Just like girls’ gossip, the noisy day was coming to an end and a new day would begin.

The sun was slowly rising from the horizon. Many students left the dormitory with sleepy eyes like countless ants left their colony. While heading towards the university canteen hurriedly to get their first meal of the day, they did not pay attention to whether the sun overhead was different from the past or not.

Those, who got up late, were still washing their faces and brushing their teeth. Those, who got up earlier in the morning, were still doing their morning exercises. In terms of the other residents of the university town, walking dogs, watching the news, taking public transportation… everything seemed to be the same as usual.

Then all of sudden, the sky became dim, the sun was quickly turning into a bloody color at the speed that was visible to the naked eye. There seemed to be a huge black curtain appearing in the sky, and countless people raised their heads in surprise. In their eyes, the blood-red sun in the morning sky was disappearing at a rapid speed. In just a few seconds, the world was in pitch-black darkness.
