Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at you."

"boring."

Some time after filling in the application form,

Notices are coming out one after another.

Mo Dao was successfully admitted to the Law Department of the Capital People's Congress, while Qin Huaishi was admitted to the Biology major of Capital University.

At this moment, sitting on the high-speed train heading to the capital, Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi were sitting side by side and next to each other.

Mo Dao leaned against the corridor, while Qin Huaishi leaned against the window.

Qin Huaishi did not wear the school uniform today. She wore a light-colored long skirt and her hair was in a high ponytail as always.

It's a bit gentle when sitting and a bit rusty when walking.

Listening to Mo Dao's words, Qin Huaishi whispered, then turned around and rummaged through his bag,

Like a hamster moving, he took out a lot of snacks from his bag.

"Eat?"

"eat."

Mo Dao smiled and took a piece of dried fruit and responded.

Qin Huaishi held the spicy strips in his hand and took a few bites, which made his lips turn red from the spicy taste.

He pulled out another water glass, drank some water, and took a long breath.

"It's too spicy. Do you want to eat it?"

"Don't eat."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid of spicy food."

"..."

Qin Huaishi looked at Mo Dao for a few times, then picked up the spicy strips again, and continued to slurp them.

"Isn't it spicy? Are you still eating it?"

"I haven't finished it yet. And it's delicious."

Qin Huaishi huffed and puffed while eating.

Mo Dao looked at the little girl and couldn't help but laugh.

What an interesting little girl,

Then I was stunned for a moment...I remembered that I am not very old now.

"By the way, what are you doing during the summer vacation?"

Qin Huaishi insisted on finishing the package of overly spicy spicy strips, then raised his head and looked at Mo Dao, and couldn't help but ask,

"Earn tuition."

Mo Dao said with a smile.

Although he decided to be a war reporter in this life, Mo Dao still took advantage of these two months to do some routine money-making operations.

At least I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about money in this life.

"..."

But obviously, Qin Huaishi misunderstood something.

She knew that Mo Dao's parents had passed away long ago.

Maybe it was because Mo Dao had no parents to pay for his tuition, so he had to earn his own tuition.

The picture that came to Qin Huaishi's mind was that of Mo Dao working hard here and there, getting up early and going late at night, chasing the stars and the moon, and facing the scorching sun to earn money for tuition.

Perhaps because he felt that he had raised a question that should not be raised, Qin Huaishi was hesitant to speak.

I want to say something, but I don’t seem to know what to say.

In the end, he just lowered his head and silently handed two more bags of snacks in front of him to Mo Dao.

"Eat?"

"Eat. But are you thinking of something wrong? My parents left me enough money to eat and drink through college."

Mo Dao looked at the girl and knew what Qin Huaishi was thinking. He smiled knowingly and then said.

"Um?"

Qin Huaishi raised his head and glanced at Mo Dao,

Then he turned around and looked out the window. He couldn't see his face, but his neck was a little red.

Maybe a little embarrassed.

"What about you? What did you do during the summer vacation?"

"Preview. I found some open courses in biology online and bought professional books in advance."

"It's really cool."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It means you work hard."

"It doesn't feel like a good thing to say."

"Do your parents trust you to go to the capital alone? Don't they want to see you off?"

"..."

"Brother, I am already eighteen and an adult. Do I still need someone to send me to university?"

Qin Huaishi said speechlessly,

Then he probably felt that the title was somewhat ambiguous, so he turned his head away and looked out the window.

It seems that this way Mo Dao can't see her embarrassment,

"...They were originally going to come, but I didn't let them come. I told them to go with you, and they agreed."

Qin Huaishi said softly, his voice lowered a bit.

"……Um."

Originally, he wanted to tease this girl again, but after thinking about it, Mo Dao just responded.

"...Why don't you ask them why they are so confident about you?"

However, Mo Dao stopped talking, and Qin Huaishi spoke again.

Although she herself said that her ears were red, she looked at Mo Dao as if she wanted to tease him.

The little girl Qin Huaishi seems to be like this, shy...but sometimes extra courageous.

"Maybe it's because I'm pretty good-looking, and I look good regardless of age or gender."

"No."

Qin Huaishi's face was red, but he still flicked his ponytail and said with a smile,

"They make you think you're an honest kid."

"... Then it depends on your face."

Mo Dao remembered meeting Qin Huaishi's parents several times, and they always happened to meet them at the school gate.

Smiling, Mo Dao talked to Qin Huaishi again.

…

The high-speed train ride took about six hours. Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi arrived at the Capital High-speed Railway Station.

After getting off the high-speed rail, there is no need to take a taxi again.

During the days when Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao were admitted to the school where they were reporting, cars came to pick them up.

"Then let's separate here, I won't send you away. For a naturally beautiful school girl like Huai Shi, when you get to school, there will definitely be seniors rushing to help you carry your luggage."

"I don't need it. I don't have much luggage. It's you who need my senior sister to take you to report."

Before they went to pick up freshmen at the high-speed rail station, Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi talked some more.

Mo Dao said something, but Qin Huaishi's face was still red, but she didn't want to admit defeat and said in return.

"It would be great if there was a beautiful senior sister."

"Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving first."

Qin Huaishi turned and left.

Mo Dao stood there, watching Qin Huaishi walk away with a smile,

and the smile on his face gradually faded.

He has lived to this age... No, he has lived for so many years in his previous life.

He can tell what this little girl is thinking at a glance.

But...

He has an inexplicable fear... or escape.

When did this emotion start,

from the second rebirth?

Or after the third death and rebirth?

Or after realizing that he might be able to live forever in this life?

Mo Dao lowered his head.

He seemed to be gradually closing his heart.

This is really not a good sign.

After a pause, Mo Dao raised his head again, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Classmate, are you here to report? Are you from Renmin University?"

Next to him, a volunteer from Renmin University who came to the high-speed rail station to pick up the new students asked Mo Dao uncertainly,

Looking at Mo Dao's young face, he looked a bit like him, but his temperament didn't look like a student who had just graduated from high school.

"Yes."

Mo Dao smiled and replied,

"Then let's go to school? There is a bus to pick you up from the school, right here."

"Thank you."

"It's okay, it's okay."

...

It may be that Mo Dao came to report relatively early, or it may be that there were few new students from Renmin University on this high-speed train.

When the school bus to pick up the new students started, there were only a few people in the bus, and the parents who came to send their children off had to be included.

In the front row, there was a freshman with an average build and height wearing glasses. After the bus started and ran smoothly, he turned his head and looked back, as if he wanted to talk to someone.

"Brother, what's your major? What's your name? Can we get to know each other?"

"Mo Dao, law major."

The man finally found Mo Dao, sat over and greeted him.

Mo Dao smiled and responded.

"Fuck, the same major. Brother Mo, I am Pang Mo, also studying law. I heard that studying law is very hair-consuming. Why did you choose this major, brother Mo?"

"I just chose it casually. I see that those big lawyers have thick hair."

"Brother Mo, you don't know, those are all transplanted hair. Like my father, he has to spend money on hair transplants every year. It was also my father who insisted that I study law, eh..."

Pang Mo sighed, and then communicated with Mo Dao in a very familiar way.

Mo Dao smiled and responded casually.
