Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 576 It's normal for couples not to stay together in the end.

“I will tell my dad,” Hong Yijia said.

This matter, aside from Zheng Fan's involvement, is still a bit too far off for Lin Yilin and Hong Yijia. They can only leave it to the higher-ups to figure out a solution.

Besides that, they could hardly take any effective action and could only try to follow up on intelligence and understand the situation.

Thinking about it carefully, it's still a headache. The outside world is clearly already making all sorts of moves, eyeing Dadu with covetous intent, while Dadu itself is still preparing for a major war, and the central government is remaining completely silent, acting as if it's none of their business. Their most recent move was even aimed at Luoye.

The scene was somewhat despairing, and for a moment I even had the thought that "it would be better to destroy everything."

"We haven't been able to contact Teacher Niu lately," Lin Yilin said, glancing at her phone.

"Is he tinkering with some frivolous research projects again?" Hong Yijia said.

"Then his research topics have never been anything serious."

"That's right."

Lin Yilin glanced at Zheng Fan, who shrugged. Niu Qianliu had previously told Zheng Fan that he wanted to do something about the recent unusual rainfall. It was his own business.

Although Zheng Fan had sued Lin Yilin, Lin Yilin remained silent and said nothing after hearing the news.

Niu Qianliu may already be on his way.

It was drizzling outside the window, wetting the ground. The office was quiet. Lin Yilin simply tossed the toast, along with Lu Lu's shoes and the blanket to Mo Mang to take care of.

The window was half-open, allowing the soft sounds of rain and wind to drift in, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

At that moment, the office doorbell rang.

Hong Yijia and Zheng Fan both looked at Lin Yilin upon hearing this. Lin Yilin was somewhat puzzled, as she had already quickly visited and resolved the cases she needed to handle earlier that day. She also had no other appointments scheduled for today.

Zero One Studio is very busy right now. It used to be so busy that the doorbell rang non-stop. Lin Yilin herself doesn't mind, but her neighbors do, so Lin Yilin had to change the appointment system to an appointment system. If possible, she tries to contact them online and then Lin Yilin goes to the office in person. For a few more complicated cases, she arranges to meet at the studio.

Of course, in such a situation, if someone thinks the situation is urgent and rings the doorbell directly, Lin Yilin will not refuse.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and a man with shoulder-length hair walked in. He had dark green eyes, a tall and well-proportioned figure, and was undoubtedly a handsome man. He was wearing a modified, fitted green mandarin jacket with a black undershirt.

However, this did not make him appear more scholarly; on the contrary, he seemed more like an ancient assassin skilled in martial arts.

Upon seeing him, Lin Yilin raised an eyebrow, while Hong Yijia stood up from the sofa in surprise.

"Fan Zhonghong!?"

Zheng Fanxiang had a vague recollection of the name. She was Lin Yilin and Hong Yijia's college classmate, and also a member of their eccentric and unconventional seminar.

He had been out of contact since graduation, so he went directly to Zero One Agency.

He looked somewhat disheveled, his eyes lifeless. He hadn't carried an umbrella and was soaked from the light rain as he walked. He managed to focus his gaze on Hong Yijia and Lin Yilin, forcing out a faint smile: "Long time no see, Hong Yijia, Lin Yilin."

……

Lin Yilin found a towel, but Fan Zhonghong just took the towel, sat on the sofa in a daze, and didn't do anything.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't sent a single message since graduation, and you don't reply when I try to reach you." Hong Yijia looked at his dejected appearance and scolded him, probably trying to ease his mood with friendly banter.

"I'm sorry, we've been very busy since graduation," Fan Zhonghong replied, "with many things to do." Lin Yilin said, "You could have sent a message before you came."

Fan Zhonghong simply nodded without replying.

"Where is Miaosheng?" Hong Yijia asked directly upon seeing this.

This time, Fan Zhonghong didn't make any move; he just sat on the sofa with his head down.

“I thought you two would get married after graduation.” Hong Yijia continued, seemingly oblivious to what was happening, “Even though you always seem indifferent to her, she’s very clingy to you, isn’t she?”

"do not talk……"

"But you never let her suffer any injustice; you were always there for her the moment anything happened. It's a truly wonderful relationship..."

"Miaosheng is getting married!" Fan Zhonghong finally raised his head and shouted with difficulty, raising his voice.

Zheng Fangang poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. He then turned around curiously and said, "Speaking of which, it seems the subject of this conversation isn't you."

"Ah."

"Can you see me?" Seeing that his words had actually received a response, Zheng Fan's attention wandered again.

“A little bit, I can see the outline, I can see a little bit of the outline of any illusion…” Fan Zhonghong looked at Zheng Fan, his mood improved a bit when he talked about this.

"That's good," Zheng Fan could only reply with an ambiguous tone.

Another false alarm.

However, Zheng Fan is no longer so obsessed with finding more hosts, after all, some things have become increasingly heavy on Zheng Fan's shoulders over time.

"What exactly happened?" Lin Yilin finally spoke in a cold tone, as if she were questioning a client in the same way as usual, without revealing any emotion.

“Miaosheng and I are from the central family of Dadu. But ‘Central’ is just a general term. I was just lucky to be born in the place closest to the center of Dadu. Miaosheng, on the other hand, is the result of a marriage between the Central family and the Pure White Society, which has extraordinary significance.” Since Fan Zhonghong had already come, he made no attempt to hide anything and revealed everything directly.

"You really didn't tell us about this. Why didn't you go to university in Central University, or even Leonardo University which is closer? Why did you come all the way to Sanzio?"

"It was just a little bit of our whims." Fan Zhonghong shook his head. "Miaosheng wanted to experience a different atmosphere from the central government, so she dragged me here. Later, she was the one who introduced me to you all."

Li Miaosheng was an extraordinary woman. She was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was so skilled that she was unbeatable among her peers at university, until she was knocked to the ground by Luo Ye with a single slap.

Then Fan Zhonghong, who had always been treated as her little follower, rushed up when he saw this, and after a few rounds, he also fell down with Li Miaosheng.

Then Luo Ye appreciated them. Li Miaosheng didn't think it was shameful to be slapped in public, so she became attached to Luo Ye and was brought into their Miaomiao Club by Luo Ye.

Compared to Li Miaosheng, who is glamorous and eye-catching wherever he goes, Fan Zhonghong, although not bad in terms of physical attributes, is undoubtedly far inferior in terms of talent, and in terms of temperament, he, an ordinary nobody, is even more incomparable.

For someone who doesn't know them, it's probably not surprising at all that Li Miaosheng and Fan Zhonghong didn't end up together.

However, precisely because Lin Yilin and Hong Yijia understood this, they did not believe that things were so simple.

The complicated relationship between this foolish couple cannot be interfered with by things like "inferiority complex" or "unequal social status".

"So, who is Miaosheng going to marry?" Hong Yijia asked.

"'die'."
