Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 383 Extra if: The young e-sports boy will not meet a white, rich and beautiful classmate (I)

Probably because of the original novel, there is a certain if line where Lu Mingfei did not join the little angel of Kassel Academy.

……

There was no Chinese on the road sign, and the Korean characters made up of squares and circles were confusing. Lu Mingfei held the Xiaomi 1 and used the Korean keyboard to search for a long time but couldn't find the corresponding Korean characters on the road sign. He had no choice but to turn off the translation software and continue walking forward with his suitcase.

A teammate sent a voice message: "Lu Mingfei, you haven't arrived yet?"

"Almost there." Lu Mingfei replied on WeChat. He actually felt that he should be not far from the hotel.

The reason why he always felt like he was going around in circles in one place was that the streets in Korea were narrow and small, the buildings had no characteristics, and the Korean characters were strange in shape, so he got lost.

It was the fall of 2011. Lu Mingfei, a junior, went abroad for the first time. His first stop was Busan, South Korea, a place he was not familiar with. Thanks to the worldwide promotion of Korean dramas, Busan, the second largest city in South Korea, has always been a famous tourist city in Asia. November is also the maple leaf season in Busan. It is rare for the streets to be as empty as today.

The reason why I didn't see many pedestrians along the way was probably because it was going to rain. Busan was originally a coastal city, and the weather was unpredictable, just like Lu Mingfei's hometown. When the sea breeze came, it was as dark as a torrent of rain.

Lu Mingfei tried his best to walk close to the shops along the street, while scanning the road with his eyes, trying to find the same Korean words on the sign of the hotel where he was staying.

But before he could find the hotel where his teammates were staying, heavy rain started pouring down.

"Crash..."

When it rains heavily, the world looks leaden, but the ground looks white, as if the sky and the ground are inverted.

The cold wind and rain were blowing in, chilling to the bone. Lu Mingfei sat on the suitcase, listening to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the tarpaulin of the convenience store. The rain flowed down the slope of the tarpaulin and formed a line of rain curtains. He sent a message to his teammates, saying that he might be late.

"I wanted to revive the glory of CN e-sports, but ended up dying before I could accomplish anything."

Lu Mingfei put away his phone and sighed softly.

The elderly convenience store owner brought Lu Mingfei a cup of hot water. Lu Mingfei didn't understand Korean either, so he just smiled and said, "Kansahamida (Thank you)."

Just as he was drinking hot water and wondering whether he should go out in the rain to find a hotel if the rain didn't stop tonight, a car suddenly stopped in front of him.

“Thans, no need for a taxi.” Lu Mingfei refused without even raising his eyes.

He had heard that bicycles in Korea were very expensive, with the starting price being several dozen dollars, so he would not consider buying one unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Lu Mingfei?" A familiar female voice called out his name with a little hesitation.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in the direction of the voice, only to find that what was parked in front of him was not a taxi at all, but a Maserati President. The back window had been rolled down, and the girl in the car was looking at him sideways with sunglasses on. She had clean hair and delicate and smooth facial lines. I guess the face under the sunglasses must be very beautiful.

Lu Mingfei tried hard to search in his mind, and when he was still trying to confirm when such a person appeared in his social circle, the other party had already taken off his sunglasses. Under the sunglasses was indeed a beautiful and stunning face, which stunned Lu Mingfei.

"Su Xiaoqiang." The other party blinked and frowned slightly: "High school classmate, don't you remember?"

Of course I remember, how could Lu Mingfei forget her? This is the little goddess Su Xiaoqiang, the most beautiful girl in Shilan Middle School when they were in high school.

When he was in high school, there were three school beauties in Shilan Middle School, all in his class.

One is Liu Miaomiao, a musical girl who is good at playing the piano and wins with her talent;

One is Chen Wenwen, a literary girl who is a white moonlight type and wins with her neighborly feeling;
Another one is the little goddess Su Xiaoqiang, who has no talent and a bad temper, but has become one of the top three campus beauties with her stunning looks.

Lu Mingfei's favorite was the literary girl Chen Wenwen. He fell in love with Chen Wenwen at first sight, and even praised Chen Wenwen in front of Su Xiaoqiang, saying that she was prettier than her, which now seems to be a rather unemotional move. So his brand new pair of white Xtep shoes received a kiss from Su Xiaoqiang's jade soles.

Of course, like most secret love stories, his secret love this time ended in vain.

After the relationship ended, he rejected the invitation of his beautiful senior sister Nuonuo and went to a second-tier college in Shanghai to study computer science. Every now and then, he would be called out to class reunions by Liu Miaomiao, who was also studying at a university in Shanghai.

Su Xiaoqiang also studied at a university in Shanghai, at Fudan University like Liu Miaomiao, but she rarely showed up at class reunions.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, Lu Mingfei was invited by Liu Miaomiao to go to KTV to sing and listened to a lot of gossip from his classmates.

For example, Chen Wenwen and Zhao Menghua broke up. The reason for the breakup was that Zhao Menghua couldn't adapt to Chen Wenwen's artistic temperament. But some people said that the real reason for the breakup between Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen was that Chen Wenwen was a devout Christian. Christian doctrine is that you can't have sex before marriage, and Chen Wenwen refused no matter what, so Zhao Menghua broke up with Chen Wenwen...

For example, he heard from Liu Miaomiao that Su Xiaoqiang had dropped out of school and had returned to her hometown to take over the family business for her father.

He had a sudden thought at the time, thinking that times have changed, everyone has different futures, and is heading towards completely different lives.

Unexpectedly, he and the little angel met on the streets of Busan, South Korea.

However, the place where they met by chance was quite dramatic. He and the little goddess had never met in a small city like Shanghai, but they met again in a foreign country.

"Of course I remember. You stepped on my feet many times when we were ballroom dancing in school." Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say, so he could only try to dig out some memories about high school.

In fact, he and Su Xiaoqiang had a lot of interactions in high school. They often worked together for activities such as ballroom dancing and group work. Whenever they met, they would quarrel. You would make fun of me with Chen Wenwen and I would make fun of you with Zhao Menghua.

But now, after all, times have changed. The little goddess who inherited the family business seems to be better than her father. She even drives a Maserati President, and she is already a female president. The male college student chats with the female president. Lu Mingfei can no longer talk to her with the momentum he had when he quarreled with the little goddess.

The little angel said nothing, but just looked him up and down.

Lu Mingfei felt a little uneasy when being stared at by the female president. He suddenly felt as if the female manager of his own team was standing behind him and supervising his operations. He subconsciously straightened his back.

Fortunately, people always grow up. Lu Mingfei is no longer the shabby guy he was in high school. He dresses properly and is considered a minor celebrity in his second-tier university. There are even many fans in the e-sports club who are flirting with him.

"I remember that you were the one who always stepped on my heels when we were ballroom dancing."

The little goddess first responded to Lu Mingfei's previous sentence, then nodded and commented on Lu Mingfei: "You have made some progress. You are a little more like a human being now."

I don’t know whether he was praising Lu Mingfei or scolding him.

Well...if nothing else, at least our young Mr. Su is still as harsh as he was in high school. Lu Mingfei also made an evaluation of Su Xiaoqiang in his heart.

However, the heavy rain and thunder in front of him, and the biting cold wind that made Lu Mingfei's back cold, were obviously not a suitable place for high school classmates to reminisce. Su Xiaoqiang seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to leave Lu Mingfei in the rain all the time, so he curled his lips at him: "Get in the car first? Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you there."

Lu Mingfei didn't hesitate and got into the back seat of the Maserati President in the rain with his suitcase. He knew that Su Xiaoqiang was the kind of girl who didn't like to beat around the bush and wouldn't stop the car if she didn't want to pick you up. She said she wanted Lu Mingfei to get in the car, which meant she really had good intentions.

The car must have been sprayed with some high-end perfume. The elegant light fragrance combined with the soothing music in the car made people want to yawn. Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang sat next to each other, and the suitcase occupied the seat at the entrance.

Su Xiaoqiang crossed his legs, thinking about the pack of napkins stuffed into Lu Mingfei's arms: "Wipe it well."

"Oh……"

Lu Mingfei took the paper and quickly went to wipe the seat that was wet by the rain.

"Are you stupid?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her beautiful eyes and said impatiently, "I'm not asking you to wipe the seat, I'm asking you to wipe your body thoroughly."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then he noticed that when he got into the car in the rain just now, a lot of rain had soaked his hair and body.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that although the little goddess' words and deeds were still quite similar to those of the past, she was slightly gentler than before, and she even cared about him. Perhaps it was because the little goddess had grown a lot in the past year of running the business, and her original hostility had also been worn away.

Su Xiaoqiang tilted his head and watched Lu Mingfei dry his hair expressionlessly. Then he turned his gaze to the suitcase beside him and chatted with him in a very normal tone: "Speaking of which, why did you come to Korea? Are you here for tourism?"

"No." Lu Mingfei answered truthfully: "I came to Korea to participate in a competition."

"Contest?"

"Well, you know StarCraft, right? It's the game I often played when I was in high school. I came to Korea to participate in a competition here." Lu Mingfei said: "I am now a registered e-sports athlete by the Sports Bureau."

"Oh~" Su Xiaoqiang blinked in surprise, dragging out a long and playful ending, which sounded a bit cute, "I didn't expect you to become famous."

"No, no, Mr. Su, you are the one who is successful in your career. You even have a Maserati. Are you coming to Korea to discuss business?"

"That's about right. The company has a project here, and I just ran into you when I came out of the partner company."

Su Xiaoqiang shrugged and said, without any airs of a female CEO: "But President Su is a college dropout, and only has a high school education. She has never even been in a relationship. You have surpassed her in both academics and relationships, and she only has a career to show for it. Two to one, you still win."

Lu Mingfei had heard from Liu Miaomiao that Su Xiaoqiang had dropped out of college, but he was a little surprised that she had never been in a relationship despite her conditions. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, so he had to change the subject: "I didn't win. I haven't been in a relationship either. We are still one to one."

When Su Xiaoqiang heard this, he exclaimed "Huh".

"But I heard that you and Liu..."

"Me and?"

"..." Su Xiaoqiang swallowed his words and looked at him with complicated eyes: "It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything just now. By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, where are you going?"

"Oh yeah!"

Lu Mingfei was so focused on reminiscing about the past with the little goddess that he forgot that he had to rush to the hotel to meet up with his teammates. He immediately took out his cell phone and handed the driver the name of the hotel that his teammates had sent him.

The driver took a look at the hotel name and entered it into the navigation.

"It seems that this hotel does not exist." said the driver.

Lu Mingfei paused after hearing this: "No, how is that possible? Did you enter the wrong number?"

The driver re-entered the hotel name according to the chat history: "I confirmed it, there is no mistake, there is indeed no such hotel in the navigation, the nearest hotel with the same name is in Busan."

"?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and asked: "Isn't this in Busan?"

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly understood where the mistake was. He frowned and looked at Lu Mingfei, and pointed out: "This is Incheon."

A branch of lightning flashed in the clouds, and the rain made a pattering sound on the car window. No wonder he couldn't find the hotel where the team was staying after walking around the street for a long time. It turned out that he didn't come from the same city at all.

"You are going to Busan to play in the game, why are you coming to Incheon?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly asked curiously.

Lu Mingfei answered, “I don’t know either. After I got off the bus, I took the black taxi that the team manager called for me. The taxi driver just dropped me off here.”

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly wanted to take back his comment about Lu Mingfei that he had "made some progress". This guy was still the same as he was in high school.

However, just like high school, it is not a derogatory word in Su Xiaoqiang's heart.

It seemed like high school was pretty good, carefree. In the spring and autumn evenings, the girls would sit in the stands beside the basketball court and watch the boys play basketball. Sometimes she wanted to play, and then she would be very domineering and pull Lu Mingfei to join them, under the pretext of equalizing the strength of both sides.

Every time Lu Mingfei stood, she would hit him with the basketball, and no one cared whether she committed a foul or not. Then she bit her lip and smiled secretly as she watched Lu Mingfei fall to the ground with her, and she felt a sense of accomplishment in bullying a little boy. The air was as clean as if it had been washed in those days.

Although I have grown up now, those carefree days will never come back.

Lu Mingfei probably didn't notice that Su Xiaoqiang's mouth corners were raised for some reason. He was asking the driver how to get to Busan now. The driver told him that he could take the train or the bus. The bus had many services but might not run in such heavy rain. The train would run even in heavy rain but it might not be possible to buy tickets during the tourist season.

Su Xiaoqiang lowered her beautiful eyes, reached out and pulled Lu Mingfei to sit down again.

"Don't be in a hurry. When will your game start?" Su Xiaoqiang asked while shaking his legs.

"weekend."

"That's the day after tomorrow?" Su Xiaoqiang said, "There's no rush. Why don't you stay in Incheon tonight? I'm going to Busan to discuss business tomorrow, so I'll take you there on the way."

Seeing that Lu Mingfei was still hesitating, Mr. Su used money to attack him: "I'll pay for the room."
