Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 386 Are you in love early?

Going back to my uncle's house was actually an unexpected trip.

Originally, after he sent the little angel into the car, he was going to go back to his home.

But just after he took two steps, he received a call from his uncle. He asked Lu Mingfei to go home tonight. His tone was normal, and he didn't know if there was something wrong at home.

Lu Mingfei had not been back to his uncle and aunt's house since the Mid-Autumn Festival. He did call his aunt every week, after all, his uncle and aunt were his guardians, and the purpose of calling was not only a routine matter, but also to let his uncle and aunt know that he was safe.

Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that it was time to go back and take a look. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to stay out alone for so long without showing up. And if his uncle and aunt were not happy, he would not be able to live out there.

Minor students who live outside need guardians to sign at the school. Lu Mingfei may not be an obedient child, but he still has to follow the rules that are not difficult to follow. Anyway, it doesn't take too much time to go back to his uncle's and aunt's house to show his face.

After calling Xia Mi to tell her that he would be back late and might not be at home for dinner, and comforting Xia Mi who was complaining for a long time, Lu Mingfei thought that Chen Wenwen was still in the coffee shop, and it would be convenient for the two of them to go home together.

So Lu Mingfei went back to the coffee shop and asked Chen Wenwen if she wanted to go back with him.

Just at this moment, Chen Wenwen was about to leave, so she nodded.

"Wait for me, I'll put my things away first."

As Chen Wenwen spoke, she put the things on the table into her schoolbag, including the book and a cute notebook with a Pilot pen. Lu Mingfei knew that Chen Wenwen always carried this notebook with her.

At this point, the two of them can still talk like ordinary friends, which Lu Mingfei actually feels is not easy. After learning that Chen Wenwen remembered that he forcefully kissed her, Lu Mingfei thought that there might be some rift between the two of them.

But just like Chen Wenwen said at the time, everyone was still good friends, and she really treated Lu Mingfei as an ordinary friend. Not only did she not deliberately avoid Lu Mingfei, she also took the initiative to participate in the Christmas party at Lu Mingfei's house.

But no one knows how much of Chen Wenwen's straightforwardness is genuine and how much is just a pretense.

Chen Wenwen put on her schoolbag, and when the two of them pushed the door open and walked out, the sound of crisp wind chimes was heard again.

"What's the matter with you going back to your uncle's house?"

The two of them walked slowly along the cobblestone road along the river on their way home. Chen Wenwen walked side by side with Lu Mingfei and asked curiously.

Chen Wenwen and Lu Mingfei were not classmates in junior high school, so unlike Liu Miaomiao, she did not know about Lu Mingfei's complicated family situation, nor did she know about the delicate relationship between Lu Mingfei and his uncle and aunt.

Lu Mingfei didn't like gossiping outside, so he just answered casually, "Oh, nothing serious, I just haven't been home for a while, and I plan to go back today to see my uncle, aunt, and cousin."

"You have a cousin?" Chen Wenwen pulled the elastic band of her schoolbag. "Doesn't Xia Mi have to go back with you?"

Xia Mi's public identity now was Lu Mingfei's cousin. Although the relationship between the two was probably more distant than that between Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu, they lived under the same roof after all, and now they were actually a couple, so they had to make up a reasonable and legal reason for living together.

Lu Mingfei's brain worked quickly: "Oh, Xia Mi is a relative on my mother's side, a cousin of my aunt and uncle. She has no relatives on my uncle and aunt's side, so she doesn't need to go back."

Chen Wenwen said "Oh" and nodded.

The topic came to an abrupt end here. The two walked along the path along the river and came to a crossroads ahead. Chen Wenwen lowered her head and walked silently, counting her steps, thinking about what topic to talk about next. It seemed a bit awkward to just stay silent like this.

She looked at the withered river bank and thought for a while. She thought of Lu Mingfei's lateness this morning and the dandelions that had completely withered and disappeared in the winter. Suddenly, she thought of a topic.

"By the way, Lu Mingfei." Chen Wenwen smiled and said, "Have you been feeling unwell recently? My father said that soaking dandelions in water can..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sinister voice from the front.

"Mingfei?" A familiar voice called out Lu Mingfei's name suspiciously.

Lu Mingfei was listening to Chen Wenwen's words, when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar figure with a slightly hunched back, wearing a sleeve over his down jacket and carrying a basket on his arm.

"Aunt?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He was very surprised that he would meet his aunt on the road.

It looked like the aunt had just returned from the market. The two green onions sticking out of the basket looked like two sharp Japanese swords, one long and one short, just like the main weapons, the long sword and the wakizashi. The two glances from the middle-aged fat face that were looking at him were like the eyes of a Japanese samurai looking down on his enemies.

Chen Wenwen was also a little stunned by the middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared in front of her. After hearing Lu Mingfei addressing the middle-aged woman in front of him, Chen Wenwen swallowed the half sentence "clearing away heat and detoxifying" that she had not finished saying.

"Aunt, did you just come back from shopping?"

Based on the principle that rules that are not troublesome to follow should be followed, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to talk to his aunt.

Auntie also paused for a moment, thinking that in the past, whenever Lu Mingfei met her, he would shrink his head and avoid her, but today he actually took the initiative to greet her. And his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Aunt thought that there seemed to be some changes in Chu Zihang during the six months she lived with him.

"Yes, it's not clear that you're going home today, so I went to the market to buy some more vegetables."

"How about I help get it?"

"It's okay. This stuff isn't that heavy."

Aunt rejected Lu Mingfei's kindness and looked in Lu Mingfei's direction, her eyes jumping back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen.

"Is this your classmate Mingfei?" After examining him, the aunt returned her gaze to Lu Mingfei and asked.

Chen Wenwen was also very considerate. Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to introduce herself, she immediately hurriedly introduced herself to her aunt. After bowing, she smiled and said, "Um... auntie, I am a classmate of Lu Mingfei's class. My name is Chen Wenwen."

"Oh... Hello, classmate Chen. I'm Lu Mingfei's aunt."

The aunt did not show any abnormal attitude and spoke in a gentle manner, probably because she did not hit someone who smiled at her. In addition, Chen Wenwen looked like a good student who was very obedient and polite. Parents all liked this kind of "girl next door".

"Do you live on this side too?"

"Ah... yes, Lu Mingfei and I just happen to be going the same way." Chen Wenwen said, giving the name of the neighborhood where she lives.

Aunt also nodded, and smiled, which was rare for her: "It's not far indeed. My Mingfei must have caused you a lot of trouble at school, right?"

"No, no, Lu Mingfei is the class monitor. He takes care of me in school. When I was sick and hospitalized before, he often came to see me..." Unexpectedly, Chen Wenwen and my aunt started chatting like this. Lu Mingfei was amazed when he heard it. He thought that good girls are always the killers of middle-aged women. Every middle-aged woman wishes she had such a beautiful and obedient daughter or daughter-in-law.

Chen Wenwen didn't say goodbye to the two until they reached the fork in the road where Chen Wenwen's house and her uncle and aunt's house met. When leaving, Chen Wenwen did not forget to wave to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei also waved back.

"Ming Fei." The aunt beside him suddenly asked, "How are student Chen's grades?"

Lu Mingfei didn't know why his aunt suddenly asked this question. After thinking for a while, he replied, "It's pretty good. I'm always in the top 100 in the grade in every exam."

Shilan Middle School is a key school for academic advancement in the city. The top 211 students in the grade are basically at the level of 985 and striving for 2006. In when the value of academic qualifications had not yet depreciated, this was already a very good result.

When my aunt heard this, she nodded, stopped talking, and walked forward on her own.

The residential complex where my uncle and aunt lived was also quite old. During the rush hour, the aunt and nephew squeezed into the elevator. The elevator creaked and stopped on the first floor. The crowd rushed in like they were rushing to get in during the Spring Festival travel rush.

There are four elevators in the building in the community where Lu Mingfei currently rents a house. It's been a long time since he had to feel like squeezing into an elevator with his neighbors and having to wait for the next one because he was a step slower.

The two of them squeezed into the elevator and then out. As the aunt took out the key to open the door, she kept muttering, "Mingfei, you've grown up now. Your uncle and aunt don't want to control you anymore, but you have to come back once in a while. I don't ask you to come back every weekend, but at least every two weekends..."

Lu Mingfei didn’t know how much truth and how much lies were in his aunt’s nagging, or whether his aunt was simply looking for an excuse to nag him. In any case, he didn’t refute it.

Besides the fact that he was already past the age where he would get angry over such trivial matters or anything else, he and his uncle and aunt were indeed not from the same world.

To use the words of the little devil version of Lu Mingze, when you have power and authority, your perspective on the world will be completely different. Chen Wenwen, who he once had to look up to, was just a handkerchief that he could pick up at any time.

However, Lu Mingfei did not have the same thoughts as the little devil. Chen Wenwen was always a living person to him, not a handkerchief or something. But he could probably understand the feeling that the little devil said.

For example, Zhao Menghua was still bullying him behind his back like in his previous life, but now Lu Mingfei felt that it was just like that. Zhao Menghua's childish behavior was not much different from playing house in kindergarten, and Lu Mingfei just didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Whether his aunt’s nagging was out of genuine concern or for some other reason, Lu Mingfei no longer cared.

Following my aunt into the house, my uncle was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Seeing Lu Mingfei following my aunt into the house, my uncle nodded and said, "Mingfei is back."

"Yeah, I'm back, uncle."

"Hey, Mingfei, have you grown a little taller recently?"

"I've grown a little bit, two centimeters taller..."

While chatting, Lu Mingfei put his schoolbag on the sofa beside him.

He didn't go into the room, because Lu Mingfei knew that Lu Mingze was probably still taking tutoring classes at this time. It was a bit difficult for Lu Mingze to get into the high school department of Shilan Middle School with his grades, and the school donation was a considerable expense, so his aunt found a tutor for Lu Mingze to cram.

My aunt went into the kitchen to cook, and the local news program was playing on the sofa. Lu Mingfei was texting a few girls on his phone.

Su Xiaoqiang said she had her eyes on a very expensive piano, so how about giving Miaomiao a piano as a birthday gift?
Liu Miaomiao said that Fila has a very nice couple's outfit. Do the three of them want to buy a set together?
Xia Mi told him to eat less at his uncle and aunt's house, as his family had left him a lot of nourishing dishes... this lustful dragon girl.

Lu Mingfei hummed and replied to "I don't have a girlfriend".

The uncle adjusted his glasses and silently took in Lu Mingfei's expression when he replied to the message.

After replying to all the girlfriends' QQ messages, the dishes were ready. The round Lu Mingze finally came out of the room, and Lu Mingfei and his uncle and aunt came to the dining table after a long absence.

My uncle and aunt's house is a three-bedroom house. There is no separate dining room. The table in the living room is the dining table. The local news program on TV finished broadcasting and switched to the next news program.

Lu Mingfei kept Xia Mi's words in mind and did not eat too much. He only tasted a little of each dish.

After all, there is no guarantee that there will be a battle after returning home tonight, so he certainly cannot waste the "thoughts" that Xia Mi prepared for him.

At this time, the uncle and aunt looked at each other calmly, and then the uncle coughed lightly and said, "Mingfei, can you eat more? Why haven't I seen you pick up your chopsticks? You have lived here for more than ten years and this is your own home. Why are you still being polite to uncle and aunt?"

"Oh... Uncle, I'm trying to lose weight recently." Lu Mingfei certainly couldn't say it directly. He would have to eat another meal... or two after returning home.

Want to lose weight.

Uncle captured this key word.

At this time, Auntie also spoke up: "By the way, Mingfei, are you used to going to high school? Are you getting along well with your classmates? Is high school life good?"

Well... now I still don't know whether high school life is good or not, but junior high school life is pretty good, Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

However, Lu Mingfei felt strange because of the inexplicable concern from his uncle and aunt. He always felt that they didn’t really want to know about his high school life, but had other ideas.

Perhaps this is why my uncle and aunt called me back?
“Uncle and aunt.” Lu Mingfei put down his chopsticks. “Like you said, we are all family. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush.”

Uncle Lu took a look at his own Hedong Lion and suddenly felt that Lu Mingfei seemed to have grown up a bit during the two months he lived away from home. He spoke without being arrogant and with full confidence.

Auntie also put down her chopsticks, put her hands on her waist and said, "Since Mingfei, you said so, then Auntie will not beat around the bush with you..."

She cleared her throat and said loudly to Lu Mingfei: "Auntie just wants to ask you one thing, Mingfei, have you found a girlfriend in school and are in love prematurely?..."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He didn’t expect that his uncle and aunt called him back specifically to ask him about his premature love.

His love affair was no secret in the school, and his girlfriend was a girl like Liu Miaomiao who was very popular, so he was mentally prepared for the fact that his uncle and aunt would hear about it.

Lu Mingfei had no intention of hiding it. Since his uncle and aunt asked him so, he simply admitted it.

He opened his mouth and was about to admit to his uncle and aunt that he was in love, but the second half of his aunt's sentence almost choked him to death.

"...It's the girl named Chen Wenwen just now, right?"

“Ahem… ah?”
