Chapter 1701 A Strange Encounter (Relax a bit)

After confirming that the abandoned mental hospital was the entrance to the subspace, Duanmu Huai decisively bought it and repaired the gate and walls. In this way, the place became Duanmu Huai's private land and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Of course, Yanami and Chitanda didn't know about this, but they would also discuss the incredible experiences they had encountered before.

"I really didn't expect that something like that would happen in that place."

"It's because it's in the deep mountains and forests far away from the hustle and bustle that this is what happened."

Walking on the campus, Duanmu Huai and Banai Jian were talking to each other.

"If it was in the city, the chances of this happening would be much smaller."

"But it's not Zero either... Hmm? What is that girl doing?"

Just when Yanai was looking around out of boredom, she suddenly saw something and looked to the side curiously. Duanmu Huai and Chitanda also turned their heads and saw a petite girl with short hair squatting beside the flower bed with her back to them, as if looking for something.

"Hello there!"

As a person with full Yangjiao attributes, Yanami would naturally not turn a blind eye to this. She just walked over with a smile and greeted him.

"Excuse me, did you drop something?"

"Hey?"

The other party obviously didn't expect someone to talk to him, and was immediately startled. He turned around and looked at Yanajian tremblingly. At this time, the three of them saw that she was holding a bunch of small stones in her hands.

"Hmm? Little Stone?"

Seeing this scene, Yanai tilted his head in confusion, and the girl looked a little uneasy, but Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up.

"Hey? Are you playing catch stones? I really miss that."

"Grabbing stones? What is that, Ai-chan?"

"Don't you know? This is a very popular game among children. I also played it when I was a child."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai walked to the flower bed, found five stones of similar size, and tossed them proudly.

"Okay."

"……………………?"

Although they didn't know what Duanmu Huai was going to do, Yanami and Chitanda still looked at him curiously. The petite girl who had just stood up and was about to leave was also standing there, staring at the stone in Duanmu Huai's hand.

Feeling the gazes of the three people, Duanmu Huai smiled, then threw the five stones in his hand to the ground, and then picked up one of them.

Then, Duanmu Huai threw it upwards, then quickly reached out and picked up another stone on the ground, and then turned around to catch the stone falling from above.

"Wow!"

Seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, while Duanmu Huai kept throwing, catching and catching, and in the blink of an eye he had caught the other stones in his hands.

"This is just the beginning, watch out!"

Duanmu Huai threw the stone to the ground again, and then threw another stone, but this time he stretched out his hand to grab two stones, and then caught the falling stone. Repeated twice, upgraded again, this time Duanmu Huai grabbed three stones, and then grabbed the remaining stones.

"Wow wow wow!"

Seeing this, the three of them widened their eyes, staring intently. Duanmu Huai's move was very ordinary and not complicated, but they obviously did not expect that a few small stones could be used in this way.

At the end, seeing Duanmu Huai grab five stones in his hand again, then throw them directly onto the back of his hand, and then put them back into his palm, Banaijian was immediately eager to try.

"Let me try it, let me try it! Xiao Ai, let me try it! This seems to be fun!"

"Come on, follow my order. If you can successfully complete one circle, it will be a reincarnation."

"Hehehe, it looks simple, there must be no problem."

Banaijian also took the stone confidently and started playing with it just like Duanmu Huai did.

Of course, this is just a simple little game. Yanami was not familiar with it at first, but she soon learned it and started to play it with great interest.

"This stone catching thing is quite interesting. I've never seen it before!"

“Neither have I…”

At this moment, not only Yanami, but also Chitanda and the girl also began to imitate Duanmu Huai and play stone tossing and catching. After all, it was a simple little game, and anyone with good reflexes could easily learn it, so several people had a lot of fun playing it.

It wasn't until the bell rang that they came to their senses.

"Ah, I, I'm leaving."

Grabbing the stone, the girl bowed to the three people, then turned and left in a hurry.

"What a strange child."

Having had enough fun, Yanaijian stood up, clapped his hands, looked at the girl and started muttering.

Actually, you are quite strange.

"She's a first-year student."

At this time, Chitanda next to her also interrupted.

"how do you know?"

"Because of the color of the bow tie."

"I see... so he is our junior. Hmm... I didn't expect that we are also our seniors..."

Yana looked incredulous, but it’s understandable. Everyone feels that they haven’t changed at all until they see students younger than themselves. Only then will they have this sense of reality... or is it unrealistic?

"Oh, no, class is about to start!"

"Then we'll talk later."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and walked towards the teaching building of the Performing Arts Department, while Yanami and Chitanda hurriedly ran to the general department.

Come to think of it, was that kid just now also a general student?

For Duanmu Huai, the performing arts class was basically just a way to slack off. Most of the time, he was just wandering around bored. While wandering around, Duanmu Huai spotted someone familiar.

“So…that band is really cool!”

Duanmu Huai had just bought a bottle of drink next to the vending machine when he heard Ruby's familiar voice. He turned around and saw Ruby dancing and talking excitedly to her two friends not far away. "Especially the drummer. I didn't expect that petite girl to be so good at drumming. Oh, seeing her makes me want to form a band."

"So what instrument are you going to play? Guitar?"

As Ruby finished her words, Duanmu Huai came over and asked curiously while drinking a drink.

"what…………!"

Seeing Duanmu Huai coming, Ruby's two friends hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Hello, classmate Duanmu."

"Oh, hello."

Duanmu Huai nodded at the two of them. They were Ruby's friends at school. One was Shiranui Fulilu, who, like Mai, was a popular actress in the film and television industry. She had appeared in the Zaoba TV series and was a popular actress. The other was Shou Minami, a photo model who was somewhat famous.

Of course, neither of them can compare with Duanmu Huai.

"So, what are you talking about? You're such a successful idol, why do you want to start a band?"

“Ahahaha, it’s actually nothing…”

Facing Duanmu Huai, Ruby also giggled.

"I was on a show before and met a band. They were pretty good and their age was about the same as ours. I just didn't expect there was such a girl band and they were really good, so I was a little envious."

"I see. I thought you were planning to transfer B Komachi to a band position."

"I don't have such plans. I can't dance with a guitar on my shoulder."

"Just smash it, that's all. That's rock 'n' roll."

"Wow, this really seems like something that my sister... Xiao Ai would do."

Ruby was speechless at Duanmu Huai's statement. What was even worse was that she could really imagine Duanmu Huai smashing his guitar to pieces on the stage.

It's so vivid.

"I heard that many schools have formed girl bands. Doesn't our school have one?"

"Maybe not."

Shouminami spoke up.

"Because we are a performing arts school, even if the general department forms a band, it won't be a big deal."

"I think it's okay to form a band for fun. After all, it doesn't have to win awards or anything..."

Everyone also took the opportunity to talk about this topic. By the way, I don't know if it's because of this world, it's quite common for girls in colleges and universities to form bands. There are also many middle and high school girl bands that are very famous, but they don't have much influence in the entertainment industry.

In fact, as an idol group, Ruby also feels that it would be more reassuring to cooperate with a girl band, but there are not many girl bands that will truly embark on the path of professional bands, and these bands are generally arrogant and unwilling to serve as a background for an idol group.

"By the way, Mr. Duanmu doesn't seem to be involved in this aspect."

Hearing Suminami's curious question, Ruby just burst out laughing.

"Xiao Ai is not okay. Xiao Ai is absolutely not okay!"

"Hey?"

"Xiao Ai is tone-deaf. She can't sing at all. Going to karaoke to sing is simply torture!"

"Yes, is that so? Come to think of it, I have never heard of classmate Duanmu singing..."

Faced with Ruby's revelations, Shou Minami was surprised, but Duanmu Huai was not ashamed but proud.

"What does it matter? I have to leave some room for others. Why should I use that time to browse my phone? Why should I sing? I'm not planning to release an album."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and didn't care at all.

"Besides, I just can't sing, not chant."

The sound of Duanmu Huai's body is very pleasant to hear, and if he really practices he can also sing beautifully, but Duanmu Huai is just too lazy to practice.

If all else fails, he could still make do with the hymns of the Mechanicus that he had obtained on that unfortunate planet.

Soon, the new day ended, and Duanmu Huai planned to go to the club as usual after it ended. However, when he walked to the school gate, he saw many students gathering there and looking outside.

What's going on? What's going on?

Duanmu Huai naturally came over out of curiosity and finally found out what these people were looking at—well, there was a girl wearing a school uniform from a different school standing at the school gate.

And it seems a little familiar?

The other person has waist-length green hair, delicate and cute like a doll, but has no expression. Hmm…

"Hey, isn't this Mu?"

Duanmu Huai walked over and greeted the other party. The girl seemed to be in a daze. She only reacted when she heard Duanmu Huai's voice and hurriedly lowered her head towards him.

"Hello, hello..."

"I didn't expect to see you here, what are you doing?"

Duanmu Huai still had some impression of this girl. Her name was Ruoye Mu, and she was the daughter of the talented actress Mori Minami. Duanmu Huai had seen her at several celebration banquets and felt that she was an introverted child who was not good at communicating with others. Duanmu Huai also greeted her several times, and they knew each other.

"I...I'm waiting for someone..."

"Waiting for someone? Do you know someone who goes to school here? Do you want me to help call him?"

"…………………"

The latter lowered his head and shook his head slightly.

"Okay then, if you need anything, just come to me."

Duanmu Huai didn't say anything more. After all, this girl was just like that. Every time she was seen at the banquet, she would stand alone and look very pitiful. Her mother was full of energy, but in comparison, her daughter looked lifeless. Could it be that her mother had sucked all the energy out of her child?

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, then turned and left, while the latter stared at him until Duanmu Huai's figure disappeared, then he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the school gate in front of him.
