Chapter 236: Chapter 178: Going on stage_2

"Uh... Handsome, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaoling looked at him, puzzled.

"Ou Lu?"

"You know me?"

"Yeah! I do," Meng Lang said with a smile, nodding his head.

It’s just that the way he knew her was a bit special...

Ou Lu had a puzzled look on her face as she carefully tried to recall who the person in front of her was, but she had no memory of him whatsoever.

"But... I don’t seem to know you. Sorry, where did we meet?"

"In Wu City, you could say we’re from the same hometown." Meng Lang deliberately showed a hint of Beihu accent.

Ou Lu was momentarily taken aback. Although it should have been a pleasant surprise to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land, her expression was still one of complete bafflement.

"Wu City? Sorry, I really can’t remember. Who are you...?"

Meng Lang chuckled, "It’s okay if you don’t remember, let’s get to know each other again.

My name is Meng Lang, ’Meng’ as in Mengzi, ’Lang’ as in wave."

Getting to know the characters from the book in the real world felt quite magical to Meng Lang.

But Ou Lu still looked completely lost, even a bit embarrassed.

After all, he had mentioned her name and the place they supposedly knew each other from, but she had no recollection whatsoever, which was a bit disrespectful.

Seeing Ou Lu’s expression, Lin Xiaoling beside her knew for sure that her bestie did not recognize the guy in front of them at all.

She was certainly not as naive as Ou Lu.

"Yo, Xiao Lu, this handsome guy has a pretty unique way of hitting on you," Lin Xiaoling laughed.

"There are plenty who want to chase you here, but you’re the first to try and get close by using being fellow townsmen as an excuse, you’ve really done your homework."

Meng Lang: "..."

"Alright, handsome, although we’re fellow townsmen, it’s just not your lucky day today, we’ve got stuff to do. If you want contact info, we’ll talk another time.

Xiao Lu, let’s hurry up, the car is waiting."

As she spoke, she was about to pull her bestie away.

She knew that Ou Lu was always annoyed by guys hitting on her on the street, so her role as a "fly swatter" instantly came into play.

"Uh..." Meng Lang was a bit helpless.

Indeed, his purpose today was very simple: to get his face known.

As a former "fellow sufferer," now a stranger.

Meng Lang wanted to uncover why Ou Lu, this "sample of fate," had managed to escape her destined death. The most direct and effective method was to stick by her side, to listen to her words and observe her actions.

To understand what exactly she had seen in Xiao Yu’s "X Chronicles."

Only then could he use the wings of the little butterfly, attempting to break through with "Ou Lu" as the starting point, and save more lives lost in that siege...

"Hey! Wait for me!" Just as he was about to say something else, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his shoulder.

"What are you doing? The girl doesn’t want to, and you still want to force it? That’s not what a gentleman should do!"

Meng Lang turned around, confused, to see a suave man in a crisp suit, looking handsomely behind him.

"Doctor Fang!" Lin Xiaoling called out from behind, clearly recognizing the man.

You’re the gentleman, your whole family is gentleman!

Meng Lang couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Who is this? You’re not even supposed to be in the plot...

Alright, seems like my own change of "lines" caused the butterfly’s wings to flap this way by accident...

Extras in life, they really do improvise, and they come out so bloody random...

Seeing the security guard approaching, Meng Lang sighed internally.

All I wanted was to have a chat, just to increase friendliness...

"Stop right there!"

Suddenly, a sharp command made everyone on the scene pause and look in the direction of the voice.

"Uh..."

Meng Lang looked in astonishment at the one-and-a-half-meter-tall figure striding angrily toward them.

Duan Xiaoyi? Why is it her?

...

Time rewound not long before.

"Dad, the doctor said you’ve recovered very well from this check-up, but you still need to rest more, eat less greasy food, and of course, no alcohol."

"Heh! Alright! I get it, I’ve been back from the gates of hell, I know what’s important."

"Dad, congratulations, you’ve finally revived with full health! Hee hee!"

"Go on! This child, always talking nonsense."

"Heh! Dad, let’s take you home then."

"No need, no need, I haven’t visited Elder Qu in a while, and it’s not far. I’ll go and play chess with the old fella, you and Xiao Yi head home first."

"Are you sure you’ll be okay on your own?" Duan Xian asked hesitantly.

"What kind of question is that, am I okay?

I can walk and run now; do you really need to leash me to a belt before you’ll feel at ease? Go on, get going."

"Right... Okay, dad, then please be careful."

"If anything comes up, call us."

"I know, I know."

After watching Mr. Duan leave, Duan Xian and Duan Xiaoyi were just about to get in the car and head home when Duan Xian suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh? Meng Lang?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaoyi looked in the direction of his gaze, and indeed, Meng Lang was standing in front of two girls, speaking to one of them.

"It really is Xiao Meng. That girl... could she be the one Xiao Meng mentioned as his sweetheart?"

Duan Xian eyed Ou Lu, who stood opposite Meng Lang, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm! Seems like it. The guy does have good taste, and he said she was quite attractive. It must be hard work to win over a woman with probably many suitors."

"Hmph! She’s not even prettier than me!" Duan Xiaoyi muttered to herself, feeling somewhat resentful as she sized up Ou Lu.

She wouldn’t say it out loud, but being publicly rejected by a man using another woman as the reason, the proud Duan Xiaoyi did care quite a bit inside.
