Chapter 54: Green Tablet
It was evident.
From the information given by Feng Xiaoyu and the others, Song Yu roughly understood the details about He Ying's group. Therefore, even though he hadn't met Sun Yuan before, he could make a judgment based on his appearance.
However, the unexpected presence of a stranger caught Song Yu off guard. What surprised him the most was the short sword-like object in He Ying's hand and the clear shield-like thing Sun Yuan was holding on to.
Though puzzled in his mind, Song Yu maintained a composed demeanor, courteous and distant.
At the same time, Feng Xiaoyu and his two companions were also curiously sizing up Chen Mu.
In truth, Chen Mu had been contemplating how to deal with this guy named Song Yu. He did seem amiable, and logically, since the other party had already gathered so many people, it was natural for them to search for and recruit survivors. Chen Mu and Dong Junwei, Tang Jing had thought about this too, which was why they had actively tried to win over He Ying.
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Mu did seriously consider joining Song Yu's group. If he were alone, it wouldn't matter where he went, really.
But the problem was, he had to consider everyone.
If everyone was still struggling to survive, then they wouldn't have to think twice about it.
However, their own lives were gradually improving.
Even if Chen Mu didn't consider whether Song Yu's group had any malicious intentions, he had to make a cautious decision. After all, no one wanted to be dependent on others, and once they gave up their current foundation, it wouldn't be so easy to leave the group if they wanted to. Besides, he couldn't decide for Dong Junwei and Tang Jing about what they thought.
But now that the other party had already asked directly about him, it wouldn't be good to ignore him.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
"Hello, I'm Chen Mu."
"Hello, hello, meeting each other is fate," Song Yu smiled and said, "Chen Mu, you're also in your third year of high school, right?"
"Yes, in Class 4."
"Class 4?"
Song Yu's self-assured and free-spirited demeanor suddenly changed, revealing excitement and anticipation he couldn't hide. There was even a hint of uneasiness on his face. Chen Mu could almost hear a slight tremor in his voice, "Is it Dong Junwei's class?"
Considering both of them were class monitors and had been in the student council, knowing each other was not surprising. Chen Mu nodded, "Yes."
"Then... do you know about Dong Junwei's current situation?" Song Yu seemed to realize that he was getting a bit emotional and quickly suppressed his emotions, pretending to be calm.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce it."
Song Yu looked a bit helpless yet amused and explained, "Although we know the name sounds a bit chuunibyou and pretentious, after someone proposed it, it received the support of the majority. It is said that 'tombstone' symbolizes burying the past, and 'green' not only refers to the grass on our playground but also signifies thriving and prospering grass. So... our current organization is called Green Tablet."
Chen Mu felt a bit dumbfounded after hearing this.
They sure knew how to play.
Just when they were barely managing their basic needs, the other side was already thinking about their spiritual lives.
Green Tablet.
Even though Chen Mu didn't have much appreciation for literature, he found it pretty cool.
He Ying also smiled and said, "The name is not bad."
"As long as you like it," Song Yu shrugged.
"However..." He Ying glanced discreetly at Chen Mu and said, "In the beginning, we indeed wanted to join you on the playground, but now, after being on our own for so long, it seems quite nice too."
Song Yu was taken aback, "You don't want to come with us?"
"It's not that we don't want to. Well... can we discuss it first? After all, there are several of us, and I can't make the decision on my own," He Ying said.
"Of course, that's reasonable."
Despite saying so, Song Yu seemed a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps he had never faced such a tactful rejection before. Most people would eagerly seek his favor before he even had a chance to approach them.
