Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1521 - Too Deep In Character

The “Adventure Forest” at Disneyland in H City was a scenic spot that resembled a Thai-style rainforest.

There was a man-made river meandering through it, and there were people paddling on rafts to support themselves.

The trees in the scenic spot blocked out the sky and the Sun, and the light was very dim.

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t afraid at all.

She was actually a very cautious person, but she had an unusual amount of trust in Lu Jin.

She knew that Lu Jin wouldn’t harm her, just as she was sure that Huo Shaoheng wouldn’t harm her.

She stood at the entrance of the exploration forest, with tourists and children walking in from time to time, for a while.

The winding path, making it look like a maze, blocked her view.

This place was neither big nor small. How was she going to find the place where the lion king “fell off the cliff” in the movie?

Gu Nianzhi’s long, beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her eyebrows moved slightly as she suddenly thought of something.

She opened her backpack and took out the phone with the graphene battery, the first gift Lu Jin had given her.

She pressed the “on” button and entered the phone. She set up facial recognition and looked at the contents of the phone.

As expected, when she opened the map on her phone, the place where she was standing showed the location of Disneyland in H City. A small blue dot lit up forty-five degrees ahead of her!

Gu Nianzhi immediately walked towards the blue dot.

She believed that the blue dot didn’t exist for no reason. Lu Jin must have given her a clue!

From the map, the distance from where she was standing to the Blue Dot was in a straight line not far ahead.

But the problem was, how could there be a straight line in the rain forest?

Every time she got closer, she would have to take many detours.

Gradually, she noticed that there were fewer and fewer tourists around her. In the end, she was the only one left. She arrived at a canyon surrounded by low rockery on all sides.

This was a tropical rain forest with thick vines twining around it. It looked very eerie.

The leaves were dense and there was no sunlight coming in at all.

She stood in the middle of the canyon, as if she was in a special cinema surrounded by IMAX spheres.

Was this the place?

Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “This is where little Simba encountered danger, and where the Lion King’s father went to save it, but fell off the cliff in the end?”

Her words were like a voice message, and she activated her voice-activated equipment.

Suddenly, a thin ray of light lit up the dense forest.

The light shot down from the leaves and shone on the empty space in the canyon not far in front of her.

The dark green leaves on top of her head, the dark tree trunk beside her, and the dark blue flowers beside her feet were all lit up by the light.

The canyon wasn’t big, so the light seemed to be right within Gu Nianzhi’s reach.

Gu Nianzhi stared at the light in front of her and found that it was changing and combining to form a holographic virtual image. It was a huge and majestic lion.

The lion looked as real as a real lion standing in front of her.

But Gu Nianzhi wasn’t afraid at all, because the lion’s gaze was too warm and kind.

It looked at her and raised its front paws. Its voice was deep and sonorous, the kind of sub-woofer that Gu Nianzhi liked to hear the most.

It read out a line from the Disney cartoon the Lion King.

It was a line from the movie “The Lion King.” When little Simba had grown up but was unable to accept its responsibilities as the Lion King, it had been confused and helpless. His dead father had appeared from the stars and said this line, which was Gu Nianzhi’s favorite line in the entire movie.

“Simba,you have forgotten me.”

“You have forgotten who you are, and so you have forgotten me.”

“Look inside yourself Simba, you are more than what you have become.”

“Remember who you are, you are my child and the only child for my whole life.”

“Remember who you are,I’ll always be there for you.”

“Simba,my child,please,don’t forget me…”

It was clearly a line from a movie, and if one listened carefully, it sounded slightly different from the lines in the movie. But for some reason, Gu Nianzhi suddenly burst into tears.

She quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

At that moment, the holographic lion’s voice suddenly changed. It stopped speaking English and started speaking Chinese.

“This is the last clue. Find Lu Jin within ten minutes, and you’ll win. You’ll receive the ultimate prize.”

Gu Nianzhi was stunned. She quickly wiped her tears and watched the holographic lion disappear.

Damn it! She still had to find Lu Jin to win the prize!

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t care less about the strange feeling in her heart. She quickly began to search for Lu Jin in the exploration forest.

She only had ten minutes. She had just walked around the exploration forest, and it had taken her almost twenty minutes!

Gu Nianzhi was anxious, so she simply ran.

As she walked out of the canyon, she gradually saw other tourists.

She ran over and looked them up and down. No, none of them were him.

Where was Lu Jin hiding?

The last question was too tricky.

Not only did she have no clue, but she also had to look for him from so many tourists. What was worse was that there was a time limit!

Gu Nianzhi wanted to hit them.

She angrily ran out of the exploration forest and looked at the time. It had already been nine minutes.

Suddenly, a tall, thin man in black casual clothes flashed past her.

It was Lu Jin!

Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She quickly ran over and patted the man on the shoulder. “I found you, Mr. Lu!”

The man turned around and asked in confusion, “Miss, you have the wrong person, right? My surname isn’t Lu.”

It wasn’t Lu Jin.

Gu Nianzhi was extremely embarrassed and quickly said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really have the wrong person.”

She quickly turned around and continuing to search the crowd, she left.

How exactly was she going to find Lu Jin?

Did he really not leave any clues behind?

Gu Nianzhi’s gaze wandered and she saw a cartoon character dressed as the Lion King by the side of the road. Her heart skipped a beat and she was about to walk over when she saw a man in a navy blue casual suit out of the corner of her eye. He had exactly the same back figure as Lu Jin’s.

She instinctively ran over. This time, she didn’t rashly pat him. Instead, she said politely, “Sir, someone’s looking for you.”

The man turned around. Gu Nianzhi was shocked. It wasn’t Lu Jin.

She quickly smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”

The man smiled, nodded slightly, and continued walking.

Gu Nianzhi finally turned her head and saw the Lion King cartoon character walking slowly towards her.

“Mr. Lu, you’re so cunning.” She frowned. “You actually used two doubles to confuse me.”

The Lion King cartoon character laughed. It was Lu Jin’s voice.

He raised his wrist and pointed. “Ten minutes have passed. Miss Gu, You’ve lost.”

Gu Nianzhi stomped her feet. “You’re the one who cheated! Actually, I saw you just now, but there was another person who looked like you from the back. I…”

“Yes, eyes can sometimes deceive people,” Lu Jin said meaningfully. “But a loss is a loss. Are you a sore loser?”

“Of course not.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head seriously. “I’m a person with principles. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Lu Jin looked down at her and took out another cartoon costume from behind him. He said, “I told you, if you lose, you’ll play Disneyland with me again.”

Gu Nianzhi: “…”

What did he mean?

Lu Jin handed the cartoon costume to Gu Nianzhi. “These are my conditions. Pretend to be little Simba and play with an old Lion King like me for a day. What do you think?”

“I see!” Gu Nianzhi smiled like a flower. “Sure, sure! No problem!”

“Don’t be in such a hurry to answer.” Lu Jin’s voice had a hint of a smile. “Since you’re putting on an act, you have to do it till the end. You’re little Simba, and I’m the old Lion King. What should you call me?”

“Dad, of course!” Gu Nianzhi said casually as she took the cartoon costume from Lu Jin.

Lu Jin’s hand stiffened and he held on to the costume tightly.

Gu Nianzhi tugged at it but didn’t take it.

“Mr. Lu?” She looked over in confusion.

Lu Jin took a few deep breaths and came back to his senses. He chuckled and said, “No, what should I call you?”

“I haven’t changed yet. I’ll call you Dad after I change.” Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. The little worry in her heart was gone and she felt more relaxed.

Lu Jin took her backpack and watched Gu Nianzhi put on the little Simba outfit and put on the hood.

They were like two lions, one big and one small, playing at Disneyland.

Gu Nianzhi had never thought that Lu Jin, at his age, would be as crazy as a young man when he played.

They went on the Cinderella merry-go-round, the high-speed train in Grizzly Valley, the adventures at Winnie the Pooh, the post-modern space saucers, and the dark Misty Mansion. Gu Nianzhi was panting from all the fun, Lu Jin was still full of energy.

“Why is little Simba so weak? He’s not even as strong as a middle-aged lion like me.” Lu Jin smiled and rubbed her little lion hood. “From now on, you have to run every morning and can’t sleep in.”

Gu Nianzhi thought of Huo Shaoheng when he said that.

She said proudly, “Someone used to urge me to run. Now that he’s not around, I want to take the opportunity to slack off.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Gu Nianzhi was the only one who could make slacking sound so refreshing and refined.

“Okay, the game’s over. Are you tired? We’ll go back if you are.” Lu Jin led Gu Nianzhi to a secluded place and took off the hood.

It hadn’t been easy for him to be the Lion King for the whole day.

Gu Nianzhi took off little Simba’s hood. She wasn’t out of character yet, so she smiled and said, “Okay, Dad.”

Lu Jin’s expression changed slightly. He looked at her gently and rubbed her head again, this time, directly on her soft black hair. “… Be good.”

Then, as if nothing had happened, he took her hood and put it in a bag.

Gu Nianzhi finally realized what she had said. She was very embarrassed, and stammered, “Mr. Lu, I was too deep in character…”

She was addicted to playing little Simba.
