Chapter 5 Chapter 5

Guangyu College is making a comeback! The leaves hold their breath, and the breeze blows gently. The square was quiet. Hundreds of curious/excited/excited eyes stared at the two young girls in the center like searchlights. Who is the focus of the incident? Naturally, it is Ming Xiaoxi who is omnipotent and always brings surprises to everyone. (Note: This quote was taken from the Guangyu School Newspaper published a day later.) Ming Xiaoxi looked at the two girls standing in front of her inexplicably. Strictly speaking, it was not two girls who blocked her way, but one.A girl whose body is like a willow, soft like a bone, and pale like a moon, her eyes are quietly fixed on Ming Xiaoxi, every eye wave seems to be full of hatred and resentment; the other girl seems to be just a follower, with a delicate face , Timid and tender, trying to hold up a small floral parasol for the girl in front.

Ming Xiaoxi looked up at the sky. Rubbing my eyes and looking again, the sunlight is not strong, or in other words, there is no sunshine at all today. Koizumi patted her on the shoulder: "Don't make a fuss, it's just the style of the eldest lady." Ming Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, she thought her eyesight was failing, and she insisted on seeing a sunny day as cloudy. Dong Haoxue sighed helplessly: "Sister Ming, she is here to trouble me." Ming Xiaoxi turned her head strangely: "Trouble you? Xiaoxue, did you do something wrong? If you are sorry, please apologize quickly."

"Sister Ming!" Dong Haoxue stomped her feet in protest, "How could I feel sorry for her! It's her..." Koizumi smiled strangely: "It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding." Her smile was so weird that Ming Xiaoxi suddenly felt a chill, and the excited eyes of the students outside the circle were all focused on her, and an ominous premonition enveloped her. Amid the anxious longing of the surrounding audience, the delicate girl finally spoke. "Who are you?" The slow and soft voice directly picked Ming Xiaoxi. Ming Xiaoxi pointed to her chest and asked suspiciously, "Are you talking to me?"

Dong Haoxue snorted coldly: "Gu Feiying, if you have any tricks, just use them on me! Don't involve others!" The audience whispered, whispered, and looked puzzled; Koizumi frowned and sighed, wanted to laugh, but was troubled; Ming Xiaoxi was confused. Gu Feiying didn't even lift Dong Haoxue's eyelids, she still stared at Ming Xiaoxi firmly, and asked again without rushing: "Who are you?" The soldiers had to come to block it, and the water came and the soil was flooded. "I'm Ming Xiaoxi." next sentence. "Do you—know who I am?" Ming Xiaoxi almost fell, held back his temper, and forced a smile: "May I ask who you are?"

It was not Gu Feiying who answered her, but that delicate little maid. "My lady is the eldest daughter of the 21st generation of the Gu family with the most outstanding reputation, the longest family history, the most prominent history, the highest status, and 28 high-ranking officials in history—Miss Gu Feiying." Ming Xiaoxi was speechless.It's a long sentence, and it's thanks to her that she can recite it so fluently. But someone is not satisfied. Gu Feiying stared coldly: "There is no momentum at all." The little maid was silent, her legs were shaking, and she shouted out with all her strength: "My lady is the most famous in history! The family has the longest history! The history is the most prominent! The status is the most lofty! The old lady who has produced 28 high-ranking officials The eldest daughter of the forty-first generation of the family---Miss Gu Feiying!!"

"vomit!!" "Wow!!" "Wow!!" Guangyu's classmates vomited. This Miss Gu Feiying is really amazing, every time she declares her family, she will "dump" everyone, even if she has heard it seven or eight times, she still cannot develop immunity. Ming Xiaoxi's eyes widened, and he suppressed the shock: "Hehe... I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Gu Feiying smiled arrogantly: "Do you know my identity?" Ming Xiaoxi blinked: "If you must say it, can you be brief?" Gu Fei rolled her eyes, and the little maid still spoke.

"My young lady was solemnly selected by the Feng family, officially approved by the Gu family, and will soon become the fiancée of the outstanding young master Feng Jianche." "Shameless! When did Brother Che admit that you are his fiancée!" Dong Haoxue protested angrily. Scorning Dong Haoxue sideways, then staring at Ming Xiaoxi: "Is Dong Haoxue your smoke bomb?" Ming Xiaoxi lamented. My God, is she mentally retarded? Why can't she understand everything everyone is saying? "Tricked me to beware of her, but let you, a vixen, slip away from my nose?"

Dong Haoxue was shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't insult sister Ming!!" Gu Feiying carefully looked at Dong Haoxue, and suddenly sneered: "Oh, I forgot, but you really like Mr. Feng. Poor little girl, don't you know that your elder sister Ming is planning to snatch you away?" Brother Che?" Dong Haoxue was as startled as a wood carving. Koizumi sighed.Who said that Gu Feiying was a fool, she played viciously in this way.It seems that everyone in the world should not be underestimated. An eerie silence. The audience held their breath and waited for Ming Xiaoxi's head-on attack.

Hidden in the crowd, the reporter of Guangyu School News has speculated on countless development situations that make people passionate and passionate. who would have guessed── According to the records of the authoritative Guangyu College newspaper── At that moment, Ming Xiaoxi's eyes were sincere, and she smiled at Gu Feiying: "Oh, you are Senior Che's fiancée, congratulations." Gu Feiying was indifferent and arrogant: "Don't have any evil thoughts about Mr. Feng." Classmate Ming Xiaoxi looked serious: "I promise, I will never have any evil thoughts about Senior Che."

There is no smoke. There is no fight. A turmoil dissipated under Ming Xiaoxi's "cowardly" performance. The students of Guangyu College were extremely disappointed. Only Koizumi showed a smile of "I knew it would happen a long time ago". "Let's go." Ming Xiaoxi smiled with relief, and went to hold Dong Haoxue's hand. Dong Haoxue's hand was very cold, and the moment she touched it, she stiffly moved away. Ming Xiaoxi looked at her in surprise. Dong Haoxue looked away. Thick beef broth rolls with tiny bubbles. The mellow smell permeates every corner of the apartment.

Ming Xiaoxi stared at the pot of beef with a sad face, her index finger in her mouth was already bitten blue and purple. Feng Jianche turned his head to look at her. "Xiaoxi..." The slender fingers dangled in front of her eyes. "Xiaoxi?" He tapped her head lightly with a smile. "Xiaoxi!" Alice in Wonderland finally came back to life. Ming Xiaoxi jumped up: "What's the matter! What's the matter! Is it beef..." All right, no problem at all. She looked at Feng Jianche suspiciously: "Che, what's wrong?" Feng Jianche stretched out his right hand, held her "injured" index finger, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything troubling you?" His palm was very warm, wrapping around her little fingertips, with a kind of sunshine-like intimacy, and the flow of blood all over her body instantly became relaxed and soothing. Ming Xiaoxi lowered her head and sighed, but didn't want to speak. He gently rubbed away the deep tooth marks on his slender fingers: "Did you see Gu Feiying?" Fortunately, she didn't lie, as expected, she couldn't hide anything from him. Ming Xiaoxi frowned: "Why does each of you have a fiancée? Just like your Gu Feiying, Dong Haonan's Yang Qianfeng, and Mu Liubing's... Since you don't like her, why didn't you just refuse him from the start? Why don't you have a good relationship with your fiancée, and cause so many troubles." Feng Jianche was startled, and slowly, the corners of his lips became bitter: "I didn't know about Gu Feiying beforehand." Ming Xiaoxi withdrew her finger from his palm: "You all seem to say that." Looking at his empty palm, Feng Jianche felt a kind of empty coolness in his heart. The beef soup is really delicious and fragrant! Ming Xiaoxi swallowed eight large pieces of beef in one go, drank two large bowls of soup, her stomach was swollen, her whole body was warm, and her full energy returned! She "snapped" the spoon on the dining table and said loudly to Feng Jianche: "I'm not happy! Very unhappy!" Feng Jianche stopped his movements and stared at her. "Your fiancée is really annoying, do you know it! Arrogant! Hypocritical! Arrogant! Arrogant! Even if her family really had twenty-eight high-ranking officials, so what, it's not her! You don't know her The way you speak, the way you look in my eyes, I really want to rush over and beat her up! I know Xiaoxi, how have I ever suffered this kind of anger since I was a child! I hate your fiancée! Hate! Hate!" Feng Jianche smiled: "But, I heard that you are very polite to her." Ming Xiaoxi suddenly spread out on the dining table, and stretched his arms weakly: "I..., alas, the invincible Ming Xiaoxi, the number one Ming Xiaoxi in the world, failed in front of Gu Feiying yesterday .” She scratched her head vigorously, her face wrinkled into a ball: "I don't understand why I suddenly became worthless... I was suddenly worried at that time, worried that I would irritate her... I was afraid that after I irritated her..." She shivered and said no more. At some point, Feng Jianche had come to her side, and a warm spring breeze surrounded her. Ming Xiaoxi struggled for a long time, finally couldn't resist the temptation, gently hugged his slender body, buried her face in his waist and abdomen. She likes Feng Jianche, and has always liked being by his side; she likes listening to him talk, seeing him smile, and the way he looks at her; she likes the feeling of him hugging her, and she also likes the feeling of hugging him ;Being with him seems to have always been so natural. And this moment— It was just an ordinary hug, but a corner of her heart was throbbing quietly. A little sweet, a little sour, a sense of guilt pinched her heart, and a kind of struggle tightened her body. "Xiaoxi, don't worry about Gu Feiying." Feng Jianche's pleasant voice sounded from above her head, carrying a reassuring atmosphere. "I will solve her affairs. Believe me, I will never let her become the second Tie Sha Xing." Ming Xiaoxi closed her eyes. It turned out to be like this, what she was worried about was not Gu Feiying, but that Tie Shaxing who was screaming crazily and waving a pistol with blood all over her body, that Tie Shaxing who had been forgotten by everyone, but was always buried in her nightmare The deepest Tiesha apricot.She didn't tell anyone, she has been regretting it all the time, if she hadn't always been so impulsive and naive when dealing with Tie Shaxing, then things might have been different. She didn't tell anyone about it, but Feng Jianche understood. "You have grown up, Xiaoxi, not as impulsive as before, but even cuter than before." There was a smile in his words, but her heart was full of sadness. "Is it cute? Don't you think I have no courage?" He patted her on the head, and laughed softly: "Silly girl! Does courage show when you quarrel with others? Our Xiaoxi never escapes from problems, never blames others, never loses confidence, is the most beautiful woman in the world. Courageous girl!" Ming Xiaoxi smiled. She wrapped her arms around his waist, raised her small face, and her eyes were full of crystal light: "Che! I will not let you down! I will definitely be the best Ming Xiaoxi!" Guangyu College awarded the "Most Courageous Award" of the month to Ming Xiaoxi, a student in Class C of the second year. The most courageous refers not only to Ming Xiaoxi who insists on acupuncture and moxibustion for Feng Jianche every day regardless of the weather, but also often sees her pinching bright silver needles on his body during recess. , looking at the onlookers like dust, their minds were not affected at all. And one thing is strange, after the incident of classmate Gu Feiying provoking classmate Ming Xiaoxi in the square, there was nothing more. Even classmate Ming Xiaoxi had close contact with classmate Feng Jianche in broad daylight and under the eyes of everyone, but classmate Gu Feiying was not seen jealous and revenge.It can be seen how miraculous student Ming Xiaoxi is. Just talking and laughing can wipe out his rival in love. He is courageous and courageous! However, the most important reason why the Guangyu School News awarded the "Most Courageous Award" to Ming Xiaoxi was not the above two, but the fact that Ming Xiaoxi started a sweet "cohabitation life" with Feng Jianche. "!" Although the gossip heroine, Ming Xiaoxi, argued that the two were not cohabiting, but just to take care of Feng Jianche's diet and timely treatment.However, according to the inference of senior love experts, that is just an excuse, an excuse!The two students must be in love and cannot help themselves, but considering that Ming Xiaoxi and Mu Liubing broke up for a short period of time, they just took it into account. Some relatively open students of Guangyu College recently formed the "Supporting Chexi Love Support Group", publicly expressed their support for the relationship between Feng Jianche and Ming Xiaoxi, and fought hard against the former "Supporting Bingxi Love Support Group" open hand. The "Chexi Love" scandal caused an uproar in Guangyu College, and people turned their backs. As one of the parties involved, Ming Xiaoxi was completely out of the way. She was in a very good mood, with a smile on her face all day long. If she didn't get the "Most Courageous Award", who would be eligible? Miracles can indeed be created. Especially the person who worked hard to create it is the invincible Ming Xiaoxi. Hughes looked at the plate full of soybeans in front of him and lit a cigarette. He didn't pay attention to the elegant and calm Feng Jianche, but stared deeply at Mingxiaoxi, which was as bright as the sun. "Girl, you always amaze me." Ming Xiaoxi smiled cutely: "Call me Xiaoxi, Doctor Hughes. Is Che's right hand feeling better again?!" Hughes took a puff of cigarette slowly: "I believe that with his current right hand, it is not a problem to pick up sesame seeds one by one." Ming Xiaoxi smiled so much that her eyes were bent: "How do you know, Che's fingers can peel melon seeds, and yesterday he helped me thread a thread through such a thin needle." "His right hand is no different from a normal person now." Hughes scribbled a diagnosis on the medical chart. Ming Xiaoxi smiled at Feng Jianche: "Che, Doctor Hughes said that your hands are much better." Feng Jianche's fingers slid across her excited cheeks: "But you are still not satisfied, greedy Xiaoxi." She stuck out her tongue and laughed: "Yes, yes, of course I am not satisfied. As I said, Che's hands must be better than gods!" Hughes raised his head, his eyes strange: "Better than God?" Ming Xiaoxi nodded without any hesitation: "Yes, I will let Che's hand be better than God's!" Hughes looked at her, and for a moment, there was a flash of throbbing. "You must create this miracle, right?" "right." "Aren't you afraid of being disappointed?" "No." Ming Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head, "I know a miracle will happen." Hughes was silent for a moment. finally said- "Perhaps, you are a miracle." Ming Xiaoxi bent down slightly, stared at the indifferent eyes of Hughes who was sitting on the chair, and smiled at him softly: "But, I'm afraid that my own strength is too weak, Doctor Hughes, please use your best Power to help me, okay?" The sunlight outside the window shone on Ming Xiaoxi's face, shining brightly like an elf. Starlight is like a lamp. The lights are like stars. The night covered the land, and the bustling streets were bustling and bustling, a little more lively and lively than in the daytime. The windows are beautifully arranged. Dressed in an elegant white evening dress, the model was dressed up like a princess. Ming Xiaoxi lay on the glass, her little nose squished, staring at it intently. "Like it?" Feng Jianche looked at the girl who was about to drool with a smile. Ming Xiaoxi thought for a while, then turned to look at him: "I like it. But if you want to buy it and give it to me, then I don't like it." "why?" She smiled like a kitten: "Because, that's a gift I prepared." "Gift? Do you want to give it to someone?" Ming Xiaoxi nodded vigorously, with anticipation in his eyes: "Well, it's a gift, but this gift is not for others, but for myself!" "When Che's hands can play beautiful music on the piano again, I will wear this beautiful dress to celebrate you. On that day, I will definitely dress up beautifully, as beautiful as the cutest My princess, watch your fingers fluttering on the keyboard quietly... Hehe, although I may not understand anything, but I know that I will be very, very happy, very happy, and I will also feel very proud Hehe, so I chose this dress to reward Ming Xiaoxi after the victory. This is the first gift I want to give myself, so don't compete with me." Feng Jianche's eyes are soft like this spring night, in the silence, a little bit of starlight jumps out. He quietly stretched out his hand, wanting to hug Ming Xiaoxi who was smiling sweetly, the moment his slender fingers touched her shoulder, they stopped. Ming Xiaoxi rolled her eyes sharply, but caught his warm fingertips, held him with a smile, and leaned against his right side: "Che, tell me, will I look pretty in this dress?" "meeting." "How pretty?" He smiled: "It's more beautiful than the stars in the sky." Oh, the stars in the sky, she looked up, and the elves in the night were as blurred as fairy tales, and as bright as gems... She clenched his right hand tightly, her petite fingertips penetrated into his fingers, and slowly clasped tightly, tightly, without gaps, the temperature of her palm and the temperature of his palm melted into one. Ming Xiaoxi took Feng Jianche's right hand and smiled at him: "I really want to become as beautiful as a star, so your hand must get better soon." He didn't smile. His fingertips brushed the back of her palm lightly, her laughter came from his ear, and her body temperature slowly passed through his side, but he suddenly felt a little lonely.Heh, what is lonely is not the present moment, not the present, but the long future... Ming Xiaoxi looked puzzled at him who suddenly fell silent. His nose bridge is high, straight and narrow, as high and pure as the snow in the sky, it is hard to distinguish whether it is the light or the starlight, and the brilliance shines out, so beautiful, but there is a kind of cool loneliness. "Che..." She called out to him, her voice was very low and her tone was light. He stared at her, and the most beautiful stars in the world were not as moving as his eyes. "Xiaoxi, when my hand is completely healed..." "...?" "What will happen to you?" will you leaveWill he return to Mu Liubing's side?Will he still miss a person named Feng Jianche all the time?Will you always be by his side, talk to him, and smile at him like now? Feng Jianche sighed. It turned out that he was not as let go as he imagined.Perhaps, he should let that hand be permanently disabled, so that she may stay by his side for a longer time, and think about him for a longer time... Ming Xiaoxi blinked, smiling brightly like stars: "I will be very, very, very happy! Then, I can realize some of my other dreams!" Do you have him in your dreams?Feng Jianche didn't ask any more, because this one smile of hers was enough. In the night. bustling streets. By the bright window. The elegant and charming boy and the charming and charming girl, holding hands, staring at each other, there is no room for anything else in their eyes. He and she don't know that at this moment, they have become the most attractive scenery. "Brother, buy a rose for your girlfriend!" A childish voice sounded. Ming Xiaoxi was startled, and looked down, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in her arms, tilting her head and smiling sweetly at them, her eyes were black and white, and her dimples were so cute. People want to twist it. The little girl looked at Feng Jianche: "Brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful, you should give her a rose!" Feng Jianche just smiled and looked at Mingxiaoxi. Ming Xiaoxi was overjoyed and overwhelmed with joy, alas, this is the first time someone praised her for being beautiful at such an age, even though she knew that she was doing that for business, but she was still happy. "Hehe, little girl, thank you... that... am I really pretty?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wanted to bump her head to death. My God, she actually asked! ! The little girl's eyes were innocent: "Of course my sister is beautiful, otherwise, why would such a handsome brother choose you as his girlfriend?" Ming Xiaoxi was dejected: "So that's the case, but I'm not his girlfriend." "My sister is lying!" The little girl puffed up her chest and accused her. "I don't!" "My sister and my brother are holding hands, how could it not be my brother's girlfriend!" "this……" Ming Xiaoxi was embarrassed, blood rushed up all over his body, and his face was flushed red. At this moment, the nerves in her whole body suddenly became extremely sensitive.Feng Jianche's hand...his palm, his fingers, his warm temperature, his quiet pulse, just like a soldering iron, made her panic all of a sudden. Want to hide, want to hide. She jumped up and hurriedly pulled her hand back... did not succeed. Try harder── Still no success! Feng Jianche's hand held her tightly, not hurting her, but the strength was enough for her to understand that he didn't want her to leave. Ming Xiaoxi raised her eyes in panic, her hands started to feel cold, but her heart became hotter and hotter. The moon in the sky is thin and curved, like a small hook, hooking her inexplicably disordered breathing; the thin and curved moon is bright and soft, like the smile on Feng Jianche's lips at this moment. He didn't look at Ming Xiaoxi, but looked at the little girl and smiled: "She's not my girlfriend yet." The little girl's dimples were deep: "Then, does brother like sister?" The quiet moonlight shone on Feng Jianche's body, and the brilliance from the inside out made him seem to be bathed in holy radiance. Passers-by on the street all involuntarily slowed down, looking at the elegant young man by the window as if attracted. "like." Feng Jianche turned his head quietly, staring at Ming Xiaoxi whose head was hanging on his chest.He couldn't see her expression clearly, only her ears were as red as rouge. The little girl smiled like a flower in her hand: "Then you must have never sent roses to my sister. As long as you send flowers to my sister, she will definitely agree to be your girlfriend!" The most beautiful rose in the bouquet, with long stems, dark green leaves, and vivid colors dancing on the petals. Feng Jianche took the flower with his left hand. The little girl opened her mouth wide in surprise: "So much money! Then... all the flowers will be given to you!" "I only need this one. For the rest, please give them to those who need them." The little girl ran away happily holding the rose. Outside the bright window, there are only Feng Jianche and Ming Xiaoxi again, ah, there is an extra rose. Ming Xiaoxi's fingers curled up slightly, and the fingertips lightly touched the back of his warm hand, trembling suddenly, his face was on fire; his hand held her tighter, the palm of his hand pressed against his, slightly hot and wet as if Some sweat, but I don't know if the sweat is his or hers. Her eyes didn't know where to look, her toes were trembling due to sudden shyness, her voice was stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say anything.She knew what to say, what had to be said, so that the atmosphere would not be so flustered and weird, but she couldn't get a word out. Feng Jianche didn't speak, just stared at Rose in a daze.After a while, he smiled: "It seems to be superfluous, and it will only annoy people." His laughter has a nasal sound, very pleasant to hear, as clear as a bright moon and stars, but also carries the loneliness like a bright moon and stars, which makes Ming Xiaoxi's heart thump. She looked into his eyes. Her eyes are as clear as snow, her eyes are as clear as mountains, her mind is as quiet as water... There are also some embarrassment, enthusiasm, excitement, depression, expectation, and loneliness... Feng Jianche turned his eyes away, not wanting to embarrass her because of the surging emotion in his eyes. He smiled: "The rose is not suitable for you, it is too delicate, I'd better throw it away." With that said, he walked towards a trash can on the corner of the street.He still didn't let go of her, Ming Xiaoxi followed suit. The rose is pinched between the fingers, and the slender fingers are above the trash can. As long as the fingers are loosened, the rose will become a kind of trash. Feng Jianche couldn't smile anymore, in a trance, he felt that the bloody rose between his fingers was his heart. "I need to." It is Ming Xiaoxi. "No one has ever sent me flowers! It's embarrassing, isn't it? I haven't received flowers at such an age!" Ming Xiaoxi smiled with eyes crooked like moons, star pupils twinkling, and cheeks flushed. She turned to him, looked up at him face to face, and smiled lightly: "Didn't you buy the rose for me? Why didn't you give it to me?" She stretched out her slender fingers, took his left hand, and also held the beautiful rose: "I like this rose, because you bought it for me." The moon is shining brightly. The street lights are bright. Vehicles shuttle like a stream, and passers-by come and go. A handsome boy and a shy girl stood beside a dirty trash can. They clasped their hands and stared deeply into each other's eyes. Between their hearts, there is a rose that blooms proudly. They just stand there. Forget about space and time. Night falls. Pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce. Suddenly, a tearing sound came from a dark corner! The muffled sound of punches and kicks was very shocking to hear in the quiet night... There are threatening, cursing, painful cries, struggling, rolling, chasing... Ming Xiaoxi frowned, and glanced at the dark alley a few steps away. If it was normal, she might have rushed over to meddle in her own business, but now that Feng Jianche is by her side, she doesn't want any accidents before his right arm recovers. She grabbed Feng Jianche and whispered, "Let's go." Feng Jianche patted her hand: "Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want." Ming Xiaoxi shook her head, pulled him back and walked back. However, some troubles can be avoided, and some troubles cannot be avoided. A big man covered in blood staggered out of the dark alley, his hair was twisted into a ball by the dark red blood, his face was bruised and swollen, his facial features could not be seen clearly, and blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. He didn't look like a person, but he looked like a ghost . The big man panicked and ran straight towards Feng Jianche's body. Ming Xiaoxi's eyes froze, and he stretched out his arm to block the big man, preventing him from rushing towards Feng Jianche.The big man blocked it, but the momentum was too great, and the rose in her hand was knocked into the night sky. The rose made an arc in the air... Fly to the other side! Ming Xiaoxi threw herself to save the rose that Feng Jianche gave her! But her feet faltered, and her legs were hugged tightly by the big man who fell to the ground. The strength was beyond her expectations. The big man raised his face, opened his bruised eyes desperately, and shouted to her in an indistinct voice: "Miss Ming! Help me!" He knows her! ! Ming Xiaoxi stared at the bloody face, trying hard to figure out who he was.
