Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928: Mirror World (5)

At this time, it was also daytime in the mirror, with ample light.

The mirror faced the bed, with dark sheets, creased from pressure, one side lifted, as if the owner hadn’t had time to tidy up after getting up.

The mirror also showed a half-open door, clothes hanging on the wall, and a backpack.

The table was cluttered with books, snacks, drinks, and a cellphone.

Overall, the room suggested a well-off family.

But Chuzheng didn’t see anyone.

Ding—

The phone screen lit up, a message coming in.

The phone lay on the table, Chuzheng clearly saw the unencrypted message.

”Brother Mu, it’s set, Friday afternoon at three, the central sports arena.”

The message was vague; Chuzheng couldn’t grasp the meaning.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the room.

A young, handsome boy gradually appeared at the edge of the mirror, exuding youthful vigor and tension.

The boy had fair skin, perfect features, each detail crafted by a careful God, and an air of determination between his brows.

Cheng Mu picked up the phone casually, glanced at the screen, his fingers quickly tapping a response.

Then, seemingly unsure of his intentions, he dazed for a while.

He finally pulled out a chair beside the table and sat down, staring into the mirror.

Those eyes were deep and black, as if they could see her through the glass.

Chuzheng tried moving her body, but the person in the mirror showed no reaction, he couldn’t see himself.

Chuzheng attempted to make noise, but the person in the mirror showed no response either.

So it’s one-sided...

After realizing this, Chuzheng started to move around carelessly.

After all, he couldn’t see her, so it didn’t matter what she did.

Cheng Mu stared at the mirror for a while, then grabbed a pack of snacks, tearing them open, and began munching loudly.

The boy, naturally pale, had cheeks that puffed like a hamster eating.

But his eyes lacked vitality, his entire being shrouded in gloom.

”Cheng Mu, Cheng Mu!!”

”Cheng Mu, hurry up, you’re going to be late for school, your brother’s waiting!”

A trace of disgust and irritation flashed across Cheng Mu’s eyes as he threw away the snacks and stood up, removing the towel from his body.

Chuzheng hadn’t seen it clearly before Cheng Mu disappeared from the mirror.

When he reappeared, he’d changed into a school uniform.

It seemed to be autumn over there, Cheng Mu wore a T-shirt inside, his school jacket casually draped over, unzipped, displaying youthful arrogance and swagger.

He grabbed his backpack casually, slinging it over his shoulder, and headed out the door.

Five minutes after Cheng Mu left, the mirror returned to its original state.

Tsk.

Seems the timing of appearances and disappearances in the mirror’s world differs.

Chuzheng ordered the Bastard to get Cheng Mu’s information for her.

Cheng Mu’s family was well-off, living in standalone villas.

His mother left when he was very young, Cheng Mu didn’t know why; he only remembered his parents arguing frequently before she left.

After leaving, Cheng Mu never saw his mother again, nor could he contact her.

Cheng Mu suspected Father Cheng did something... yes, he suspected Father Cheng killed his mother.

But he had no evidence, and his interactions with Father Cheng were cold, filled with resistance and impatience.

In his second year of high school, Father Cheng remarried.

The woman had a son, two months younger than Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu disliked this stepbrother, showing him a cold face as soon as he entered, but the stepbrother showed great fondness for Cheng Mu, being constantly around him.

Initially, Cheng Mu ignored him, trying to avoid him.

Until he realized the stepbrother harbored unusual fantasies about him.

He didn’t hate it, but it didn’t mean he would like it.

Cheng Mu moved from home to school, but the shameless stepbrother followed him there, even swapped dorms to live with him.

Gradually, rumors spread through the school that he liked boys.

Although acceptance was becoming more common, to some people, especially teachers and elders, it was still a thorn in their side.

The criticism against Cheng Mu increased; he confronted the stepbrother in an alley, telling him to stop.

But the stepbrother took advantage, starting to tussle with him, leaving them seen by others, and the rumors spread like wildfire.

Cheng Mu could fight him, teach him a lesson, but couldn’t truly silence him.

Because of the rumors, boys began to subtly confess to him.

Once he caught the stepbrother trampling on a boy’s fingers, warning him to stay away from Cheng Mu, after seeing a love letter placed in his backpack.

In that instant, chills ran down Cheng Mu’s spine.

After that, whenever possible, the stepbrother would exhaust all means to approach him.

The stepbrother’s possessiveness over him was terrifying.

In the first semester of senior year, with the National Day holidays, the stepbrother said he was going home; Cheng Mu stayed at school to avoid him.

Unexpectedly, the stepbrother returned, spiking Cheng Mu’s drink while he was out of the dorm.

That incident resulted in Cheng Mu jumping from a building, breaking his leg.

Cheng Mu couldn’t take the college entrance exam, Father Cheng wanted to send him abroad, Cheng Mu resisted, but with his leg unhealed, he couldn’t fight Father Cheng.

The stepbrother applied to go abroad with him.

Father Cheng agreed immediately upon hearing this.

After going abroad, the stepbrother practically imprisoned Cheng Mu.

Though Cheng Mu seemed tough, he was inherently good; his eventual descent into darkness was solely due to the stepbrother’s torment.

Chuzheng finished reading the information, her expression blank, this... was quite intense.

Chuzheng thought about Cheng Mu’s school uniform and searched online for his school, finding it was in her city.

Chuzheng took a taxi to the school; it appeared somewhat old, but it had the highest graduation rate, a key high school.

Chuzheng managed to get inside and checked Cheng Mu’s records.

”It’s a pity about Cheng Mu...”

”You know him?”

”I do.” The records manager had a deep impression of Cheng Mu: ”He was excellent academically but difficult to manage.”

Teachers usually remember students for two reasons: good grades or being troublesome.

Cheng Mu was both excellent academically and rebellious, plus handsome.

Who from his cohort doesn’t know him?

Chuzheng casually flipped through the records: ”Do you know where he is now?”

The information from the Bastard was only a brief overview; Cheng Mu’s life or death was unclear, very perfunctory.

The teacher shook his head: ”There was an accident in his senior year; he didn’t even take the college entrance exam. I heard he went abroad, but no news since.”

After leaving the school, Chuzheng found the Cheng Family address.

The Cheng Family had been developing well over the years, but after observation, Chuzheng didn’t find Cheng Mu or his stepbrother there.
