Chapter Four: The grand scheme of Big P has come to nothing

The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. My aunt had a mysterious expression on her face

How can I, how can all of us, possibly accept this

"Earning points," said Big P, "I want to get to the wizarding school quickly to meet Ding Wei. But you are quite ruthless to have my birthplace set in such a distant desert; I almost got scorched to death by the sun"

Aunt smiled and said, "Did you not eat today?"

The lights in the dormitory go out at 10:00 PM. Until 11:50 PM, I kept tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. At that moment, my phone received a text message: "I know you are awake, I am waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up!"

Is there going to be any problem? I said

"Studying witchcraft is quite arduous." He, dressed in a black robe, appeared much more serious than Bae Yong-joon, said to me: "Are you sufficiently mentally prepared? If you lack the courage, it is better to retreat early."

"Xiao Wei, go to the bathroom and get a towel," my aunt instructed me.

I hope that tonight, I can still dream of him. Let him take me out of the labyrinth, to that warm, tranquil blue ocean.

My mother finally came to knock on my door, asking me if I had gotten used to boarding school. I coldly replied that even living in a refugee camp would be better than living in this home

I am very disappointed

I stood over there

I did not have the opportunity to continue contacting Da P or Yue Qingfeng. I only heard a sound of "Ding Dang," and the wall of the dormitory split in two, with a white beam of light descending from the sky

He opened his eyes and asked, "Is there any cola?"

Alright. Then let us begin the first lesson. "Ding Ke gestured for me to sit down on a chair beside him, saying, 'This lesson is called the Resting Class. For a wizard, it is most important to concentrate one's thoughts in an instant to cast magic, so you must learn to calm your mind; having distractions is not acceptable.'

I replied to him: "Don't go crazy, it's so late, the dormitory door is already locked"

"Being a thousand meters underwater, and I can't swim, do you think I'm really dead or just pretending to be dead?" He slammed his hand on the computer and said, "This game is really ruthless!"

"If you believe, there is; if you do not believe, there is not." My aunt became even more mysterious

The customary practice before class is a three-minute speech

I entered my room and slammed the door shut with a bang

"No, that's not it," said Big P. "Do you know? I saw myself! It was I who saved myself, diving into the depths of the sea and pulling myself ashore!"

You have been trapped in an illusion and have not come out. I said, if you are afraid, then just don't go play in the future

Let him blow it away, this guy would die if he doesn't boast for a day

"I let your aunt give me a 20% discount out of consideration for you," he said, "I really feel embarrassed, you must have enjoyed watching me make a fool of myself today, huh? Hehe"

Fine, unless he is Yue Qingfeng, that would be more acceptable. I suddenly recalled the feeling when Yue Qingfeng took me flying, it was truly exhilarating

The computer screen displays: "Game Over"

I cannot help but wear a bitter expression, as the house is in complete disarray, resembling a scene that has just endured a catastrophe. My father is smoking on the balcony, while my mother is hiding in the bathroom, refusing to come out. It goes without saying that a war must have just concluded

"Electronic locks are actually the most foolish locks in the world," said Da P disdainfully. "I could handle them when I was five years old"

"My aunt's game scared you," I said

I wanted to cry very much, but in the end, I held back my tears

I did not stand up

"Unconsciousness." My aunt said, somewhat perplexed, "But how could it be so serious?"

Big P smiled, took out a card and swiped it on the door, which opened with a sound

Big P was fiddling with another machine while saying to me: "Keep talking nonsense with her."

Now it was Big P's turn to be dumbfounded. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Wow, your aunt is truly impressive. She almost made me fail at the last moment"

At that moment, my deskmate Da P raised his hand. At the suggestion of "Bae Yong-joon," he stood up and said: "Teacher, I would really like to give a speech today. Could I replace Ding Wei and speak on her behalf?"

"He reached out with his right hand when he saved me," said Da P. "This is a scar I got when I was mischievous and played with fire; I was five years old that year."

... ...

"Hurry up and go," I said. If anyone saw me standing with a boy outside the girls' dormitory at midnight, I would truly be unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

I followed her and asked, "Who is my teacher?"

After dinner, my aunt drove me home. When we arrived at my doorstep, she said to me: "I won't take you upstairs. You haven't seen your parents for a week, so don't always wear a long face. Be good."

I asked him: "When did you do a good deed?"

"The pizza is quite good," said my aunt. "Why don't you have some more?"

A short message sounded: I see you, come down.

I dressed and went downstairs, and the door opened easily with a push. Da P came over and said, "It's a bit cold at night; you should wear more clothes."

I disdainfully said: "Why? Is it because you died at the bottom of the sea? Are you that afraid of failure?"

A slight commotion began in the entire class, and all eyes were fixed on me.

Of course not. "After wiping the water stains off his face with a towel, my aunt said, 'He will definitely wake up within five minutes, don't worry.'"

How can we have a computer class at this time

I will not go

I followed the beautiful young lady into a small room, and my teacher, Ding Ke, turned around. Goodness, it was actually "Bae Yong-joon"!

It is simply impossible to continue discussing with her

What a cunning big P

I told my aunt that I wanted to go in and play for a while longer. I actually fell asleep during class just now, and I wonder if that teacher will fly into a rage. My aunt said it was not possible, the game still needed to continue testing. If such an accident were to happen to a player like Da P, it would be disastrous, and the investors would surely take her life.

However, I resolutely said, "Stop your nonsense at once."

Which day do I not find your jokes amusing

A very beautiful girl walked towards me; she was simply too beautiful. I had never seen such a beautiful girl before. She spoke to me in a very sweet voice: "Welcome, Xixi, I am the receptionist of the wizarding school. Please follow me to your classroom; the teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

Attending a computer class at dawn? Do you think my aunt is an idiot?

"Indeed, I am Big P." I continued, "You are truly clever."

And that teacher, how could they look exactly like our teacher? I believe my aunt will eventually be sued in court for infringement of portrait rights.

However, "Bae Yong-joon" is calling the roll by student number, and today it is my turn

We arrived at the experimental building of the school, and the main door was tightly closed. I said to Da P, "I would like to see how you use magic to open the door."

"It needs to be iced." His demands are quite high

The tuition has all been paid. I said, "Let's just give it a try."

"Copying the game is of no use," I said, "without the sensory glasses, you won't be able to find the server."

I shook my head: "Enough. My appetite has been completely ruined by your damn wings"

I truly hope to see him again soon

Regardless of whether "Bae Yong-joon" agrees or not, Da P impulsively rushed onto the stage. He stood on the stage and, with his "passionately exuberant" hoarse voice, declared: The title of my speech today is "The Meaning of Life"

"Aren't you capable?" Auntie chuckled and said, "We need to test just how capable the most capable person really is"

The male voice reappeared: Ding Xixi, welcome to become a new student of the wizarding school, please stand in the light column, we will transport you to the elementary classroom

Our dormitory is on the second floor, and all the girls in the dorm are asleep, with soft snores rising and falling. I quietly climbed down from my bed to the window, and indeed saw a figure standing under the big tree by the dormitory building, it was indeed Da P!

I couldn't sleep, so I went online and used Google to search for "Yue Qingfeng". The search results showed: Sorry, no matching search results found.

"You will come," said Big P. "You have already attended your first class today; don't you want to become an excellent wizard as soon as possible?"

When I opened my eyes, I had already arrived in a bright hall

I sit by the window. The night sky is a deep blue, and I can hardly believe that I once flew lightly through the place where the stars twinkle. I cannot comprehend how that virtual feeling can be more real than reality itself. I am reminded of that little wizard named Yue Qingfeng; I wonder if he should also clock out from the game and return to real life, to eat, sleep, and do homework

"One day, you will worship me indiscriminately." He boasted without any ambiguity

I nodded

I soon fell asleep

Aunt Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Wait for me, I will go get it for you"

"Classmate Ding Wei." He called again

Two minutes and fifty-nine seconds. Aunt said, "88."

Nonsense! Suddenly, my aunt said, I know you are Da P, you rascal, using Xiao Wei's QQ without permission, be careful she comes to settle the score with you

It is myself. Big P murmured as if he had lost his soul

Big P suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I have my own way for this, you just need to agree to accompany me." After saying this, he took out a small shiny object from his bag and said to me, "This is the latest USB drive, I have already copied your aunt's game without her knowing."

Isn't he just Big P? Aunt is being deliberately vague

The sound of laughter and applause is as thunderous as a storm.

"That is the wizard Yue Qingfeng," I said with a smile, "he just looks like you."

I quickly brought it and asked my aunt: "What happened to him?"

At this moment, everyone finally relaxed and began to laugh

So I want to say loudly to everyone: "I love you all"

I am the smartest hacker; if you talk to her for three minutes, I can find the server address from her computer

"Fool, just lie and say you are in a computer class"

I buried my head and remained silent

Over the years, the pain that she and my father have brought me far exceeds the emotions and joy they have given me. Regardless of anything, I hate them for giving me such a hollow and painful growing-up experience, and I will continue to hate them.

He is very much like Da P, but there is a noticeable maturity and composure in his demeanor that surpasses that of Da P

However, I said, "We cannot go now. Have you forgotten that after your accident that day, your aunt mentioned that the game needs further adjustments? Even the public testing schedule has to be pushed back a bit."

There is truly no way to deal with him

I smiled and said, "How does the person who takes me flying look so much like Big P?"

Aunt is truly far-sighted; at four minutes and fifty-nine seconds, Big P indeed made a move

However, at this moment, if I were to find her, she would be puzzled and would ask me where I am

Just treat her as an idiot, after all, being an idiot for three minutes is nothing. Big P urged me, saying, "Hurry up."

In such days, it is uncertain when the end will come

"Alright then," said Da P, extending his right hand towards me. "If you are willing, we can go again, and I will accompany you to find that Yue Qingfeng! If you discover that the black spot in the center of his right palm is exactly the same as mine, will you believe what I say?"

After the laughter and applause, Mr. P began his lengthy discourse

"You are really showing off," Aunt said as she handed the cola to Big P, reproaching him, "Why not just walk out of the desert honestly? You could also fly with wings if you wanted, why insist on playing with a hot air balloon that you have never tried before?"

Big P

Immediately after, I was covered by something like a glass dome, and Dingke's voice came from afar: "From now on, close your eyes and think of nothing. If you can't sit still, just tell me, and I will let you out"

When your aunt went to get the cola for me, Big P said, "Actually, I was awake when I came out of the game; I was just thinking with my eyes closed"

I felt a stir in my heart, recalling the DINK who resembled Bae Yong-joon

I have already opened it for you, you can come down now

Be careful, you will have to compensate if the computer is damaged

"That's not true." He did not admit, "I just have some questions that I haven't figured out yet."

"How do you write the character 'fear'?" said Da P. "I have already mentioned that I just have some questions that I haven't figured out yet. You should ask your aunt; she may have already created a version of you in there, but you just don't know it. That is a world created by people, and they can create whatever they want. Do you understand or not?"

With the faint light of the flashlight, we successfully entered the computer room. Big P plugged the USB drive into the computer and began installing the game. Then he opened another computer and said to me: "Use QQ to call your aunt. She must be online at this time."

Cut

"Do you really believe in witchcraft?" I asked her

You are very fortunate to have encountered the youngest and most beautiful instructor at our school, who shares the same surname as you, Ding Ke

How do you know he has it

"Have you forgotten that I also have a smart watch?" said Da P, "I can keep track of your whereabouts very clearly as well."

Only I cannot smile

When I woke up, I found that I had returned to the real world

I can only continue to speak nonsense: "Our school is unconventional, scheduling computer classes at midnight"

Mother's lips moved slightly, and then she went out without saying anything

So I need your help. Big P said, "At midnight tonight, I will be waiting for you in the computer room at school, and we must not miss each other!"

"Ding Wei," he called

I instinctively glanced at the computer beside me, where Da P was leaning back in his chair with his head tilted. He appeared to be in a state of unconsciousness. My aunt was spraying some kind of liquid onto his face.

This time there were no applause, nor laughter

I had no choice but to call my aunt, and she was indeed online. She asked me, "Xiaowei, why are you online at this hour?"

Because everyone was frightened by Big P. His declaration of "I love you all" was thunderous, causing the veins on his neck to bulge. "Bae Yong-joon" patted his shoulder to signal him to step down, then opened the lesson plan and said: "In a three-minute speech, you need to talk about something practical. Fairy tales, science fiction, and such should not be mentioned randomly next time. It's not appropriate to speak carelessly about life and death..."

What do you want to see my aunt for? I do not understand

Due to my dislike for speaking in front of others, this is the project I detest the most

He blinked and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a wizard?"

I can only say: "I was not raised in fear"

The first class on the second day is Chinese language class

Because I know what Big P is talking about

Some say: "A hero saves the beauty"

You may not believe it, but recently, I just experienced a death. It was a true death, at a depth of one thousand meters beneath the sea, where I found it increasingly difficult to breathe. The kind of fear I felt is something that you, who have never faced death, could never truly understand. Yet, in that moment, I gained a profound clarity; life is ultimately just an illusion. Therefore, what we can do now is to cherish every day we have, to love others, and to love this world

Big P fell silent, drinking his cola to the last drop. He seemed as if he had just emerged from the desert, utterly parched. After finishing his own cup, he drained mine as well, showing no gentlemanly demeanor whatsoever

At midnight, I went out to get some water. The bathroom door was open, and there was light. I walked over and found my mother vigorously scrubbing one of my pairs of jeans. I had worn those jeans for many days, and they must have been quite dirty. She was squatting there, scrubbing hard, and her silhouette appeared aged.

"I was just looking for you," my aunt said. "I know you secretly downloaded my game. I warn you not to mess around; entering the game without permission is very dangerous. If your consciousness gets trapped inside, be careful, you might end up in a vegetative state."

No boy has ever cared for me like this, or rather, apart from my aunt, it has been a long time since anyone has spoken to me like this. I am not used to it, so I pointed to the large iron gate of the dormitory and asked him: "How did you do it?"

I am attending a computer class

That is the sanctuary depicted by my aunt, a place devoid of pain and despair

The people in the class burst into laughter

At dusk, I once again arrived at the rooftop of the teaching building, and Da P quickly followed me up. This time, he was not joking around but seriously said to me: "Ding Wei, may I have a word with you?"

I still have not stood up

Recently, I have been contemplating the topic of life, pondering where we humans come from and where we are headed, and what our existence in this world truly signifies. I once read a phrase in a book: "Life is ultimately a void." To be honest, this statement deeply saddens me. Just think about it, are we really striving and fighting passionately in our classrooms on campus today merely for the sake of a void?

Tell her that I am not easily frightened. While typing on the keyboard, Big P loudly instructed me

"How do you know about my matters?" I asked him

I still did it, as it is not difficult for me at all, because falling asleep in class is a common occurrence for me

After sending Big P home, my aunt took me to Pizza Hut to eat pizza. As I cut a slice of pizza, I fiercely asked her: "What should be the most powerful spell in the game?"

What is wrong with you? I asked him, is it real death or feigned death?

My heavens

How old is he, eighteen, nineteen, or twenty
