Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 389: Surprise and Details
But thinking from another perspective, Lu Mingfei still felt that he had done something good.

By chasing after Miaomiao, the little goddess, the boys of Shilan Middle School stopped having any thoughts of hers, so that they no longer had to compete for school beauties every day and could focus all their attention on studying. This indirectly contributed to the enrollment rate of Shilan Middle School.

When all the boys are admitted to 911285, they will appreciate his good intentions.

The boys have to suffer, and Lu Mingfei has to bear the blame.

"Alas, there is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."

Lu Mingfei was talking to himself, feeling that he was becoming more and more shameless. It is said that love can make people blind, but Lu Mingfei now feels that love first makes people shameless.

During the break, Liu Miaomiao was called to the teacher's office. Lu Mingfei took out his Nokia N73 and connected to the wap. Asking the Internet when in doubt is a good habit for people in the information age.

In those days, there wasn’t as much spam on the Internet as it is today. If you asked a question on a forum, you might actually meet an expert in the industry who could help you answer it.

Lu Mingfei typed quickly and entered the question in the search box:

“How can I celebrate a girl’s birthday in a way that makes it a surprise?”

After pressing the right button to confirm, the browser entered a white page, and the slowly growing blue line below the URL bar indicated that Lu Mingfei's mobile phone signal was trying to squeeze into the small water pipe of the 2G network. This was also a network feature of the 2G era.

After waiting for a long time, the webpage finally loaded. The first search result that popped up was a related question in Tianya Forum.

Lu Mingfei clicked on it and saw that the first answer in the post was: Plan a romantic candlelight dinner and express your love to her.

Lu Mingfei frowned, thinking that this answer was too vulgar. The answerer looked like a young girl who had never been in love. If the candlelight dinner was useful, the cousin version of Lu Mingze should have won over the girl named Jia Jia when he was in Neon.

Lu Mingfei continued reading and the second answer was: Go to the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset and create unforgettable memories together.

"..."

Lu Mingfei continued to look downward.

The third answer: arrange a surprise lineup and invite her friends and family to celebrate with her.

The fourth answer: Do some handicraft DIY together and make your own souvenirs.

……

Lu Mingfei looked at these answers and felt his scalp tingling. He should have thought of this long ago. Those who have nothing to do these days and visit places like Tianya Forum are probably some young people who have never held a girl's hand and whose entire experience of love comes from two-dimensional anime or novels. None of these answers are of any use.

"Well, think about it yourself." Lu Mingfei sighed.

"How can we celebrate a girl's birthday in a way that will make it a surprise? Hey, Lu Mingfei, are you thinking of a birthday gift for Liu Miaomiao?"

A crisp voice sounded behind him. He turned around subconsciously and saw Chen Wenwen standing behind him with her hands behind her back, her body slightly leaning forward. The twin ponytails behind her little head fell from her shoulders with this movement.

Chen Wenwen also knew that Liu Miaomiao's birthday was in a few days. When she saw the content in Lu Mingfei's search box, she subconsciously thought that Lu Mingfei should be worrying about what gift to give Liu Miaomiao.

But he didn't know if Lu Mingfei was overthinking it, but he felt that Chen Wenwen seemed to have a special liking for shoulder-length twin ponytails. She had been wearing this hairstyle recently.

"Yes."

Lu Mingfei answered directly, "Miaomiao's birthday is coming soon, but I haven't decided what gift to give her yet."

Chen Wenwen walked back to her seat, turned around and faced Lu Mingfei, looking at Lu Mingfei with her hands on her cheeks.

In the past, at the end of get out of class, she would give this seat to Liu Miaomiao or Su Xiaoqiang, but today it was Chen Wenwen who sat opposite him. She had to say that this experience was quite novel.

Looking at Chen Wenwen's cheerful expression smiling at him, Lu Mingfei felt a little strange.

"Chen Wenwen, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect our squad leader Lu to be troubled by such things?"

"Is this weird?"

"Well, no. I just think that Lu Mingfei, you should be very good at pleasing girls. After all, you are~"

Chen Wenwen stopped talking halfway, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she continued: "So I was a little surprised to see that you were worried about not knowing what gift to give Liu Miaomiao."

Lu Mingfei thought, Chen Wenwen, why did you describe me as a scumbag? What do you mean by being good at pleasing girls? I'm obviously being sincere in exchange for sincerity, okay?
Lu Mingfei glanced at Liu Miaomiao's seat and saw that Liu Miaomiao had not returned yet, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Come to think of it, Chen Wenwen, what gift did you prepare for me?"

Chen Wenwen blinked her eyes: "Are you planning to steal other people's answers? This behavior is not allowed. Of course, you have to prepare gifts for your girlfriend carefully."

"No, it's just for reference."

What Lu Mingfei said was indeed the truth. Looking at Chen Wenwen who was sitting opposite him, he thought that maybe he could ask her for any good advice.

It is impossible to get any good advice from the little angel, probably because the little angel's personality is more like a brother who smells sweet than a girl. Her generous and arrogant personality is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the introverted and straightforward Liu Miaomiao.

But Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao are both pretty and well-behaved girls, and Chen Wenwen has read a lot of romance novels and has ample imagination about romantic love. Maybe I can get some useful advice from her.

Lu Mingfei thought about this and told Chen Wenwen his idea. He said he wanted to give Liu Miaomiao a surprise on her birthday, but he didn't have a specific idea.

“What a surprise…”

Chen Wenwen tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Since you asked me all of a sudden, I can't give you any good suggestions. But if you want to create a surprise, then you must let Liu Miaomiao be surprised. Unexpected things often bring surprises."

Lu Mingfei certainly knew this, just like when Liu Miaomiao suddenly bought him a birthday cake in the rain, he had actually forgotten that day was his birthday, but Liu Miaomiao remembered it.

"But the most important thing is probably the details."

"detail?"

"Yeah. Girls don't necessarily need expensive gifts to be surprised or touched. Especially for girls like Miaomiao and Qiangqiang, details may be more likely to impress them than flowers and cannons."

Details...

Lu Mingfei crossed his arms and asked, "What kind of details would be considered a surprise?"

Chen Wenwen thought for a moment and blurted out, "There are a lot. For example, the diary that you, Lu Mingfei, started writing from the day you developed a crush on Liu Miaomiao, or the notes that secretly recorded every little bit of your life. If you organize it a little and make it into a booklet for Miaomiao, it will definitely be a great gift..."

Lu Mingfei was listening attentively. But for some reason, Chen Wenwen stopped talking and her fair little face suddenly turned red.

He was still a little surprised when he saw Chen Wenwen's beautiful eyes gently fall on his face, then quickly retracted, turned around and sat upright in her seat, with her twin ponytails swinging shyly.

"Let's stop talking. Class is about to start." Chen Wenwen said with her back to him, "Let's talk next time." Lu Mingfei looked at Chen Wenwen's slender back, a little dazed, wondering what had happened?
Why did Chen Wenwen blush suddenly?

……

Although the conversation with Chen Wenwen was inexplicably interrupted in the morning, Lu Mingfei still got some ideas. As Chen Wenwen said, Miaomiao is definitely not the kind of girl who can be moved by throwing money at her, so starting with the details is indeed the right direction.

Of course, Lu Mingfei couldn't do what Chen Wenwen said, compiling the diary into a book and giving it away as a gift. The main reason was that he never had the habit of writing a diary. Who would write a diary?
It seems that a girl like Liu Miaomiao, who is introverted and reserved, might have the habit of secretly writing a diary to record every detail of her and her boyfriend.

It was soon noon. Lu Mingfei found a seat in the cafeteria with his thermos bucket, while Liu Miaomiao and the others went to line up for food.

Xia Mi’s loving lunch box was delivered at the end of the second class.

This is the time when the teaching building is most crowded, because the second class has the longest after-school time, and many people will take a break from their busy studies in the classroom and walk around in the corridor.

Then, you will watch a pretty girl with a wife-like side ponytail and wearing a junior high school winter school uniform, carrying a pink thermos with a heart pattern, coming to the high school teaching building, passing by the people in the corridor without looking at them, and stopping at the door of the first (second) grade classroom, leaving only a gust of fragrant breeze in her ears.

Everyone's attention was focused on the door of Grade One (Two) Classroom.

Actually, Xia Mi also came to bring him food yesterday. But it was the third class, and most people were in the classroom, so there were not so many people in the corridor.

Lu Mingfei walked out of the classroom with mixed emotions from outside the classroom, and Xia Mi waved at him with her tongue sticking out.

Even though Lu Mingfei was used to being stared at with probing looks, he still felt uncomfortable when being surrounded by hundreds of people on a floor, staring at him like a rare animal.

"Why are you delivering food at this time?" Lu Mingfei asked softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

“There are more people at this time.”

"Ok?"

Xia Mi handed the thermos to Lu Mingfei, with a sly smile on her face: "I want more people to see me bringing you food, so that those boys who sent me love letters will give up. Brother, you don't know how annoying they are..."

Lu Mingfei had an idea and felt that this might be an excuse of the arrogant Xiaolongnu. She probably just wanted to show her love in front of more people.

Even though she couldn't occupy the public identity of "Lu Mingfei's girlfriend" like Liu Miaomiao, she still wanted to express her possessiveness of herself in front of more people.

Thinking this way, Lu Mingfei felt a little ashamed. Not only Xia Mi, but also Su Xiaoqiang, he couldn't give them a generous status.

Lu Mingfei took the lunch box. Xia Mi quietly squeezed Lu Mingfei's fingers, then took a step back and waved: "I'm leaving, Senior Brother."

Before Lu Mingfei could reply, Xiao Longnu's figure disappeared at the stairs accompanied by a gust of fragrant wind, leaving only a bunch of surprised eyes staring at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was about to go back to the classroom when someone suddenly pulled him back. When he turned around, he found that it was the monitor of the class next door.

"Um, Lu Mingfei..." The monitor of Class 1 swallowed and couldn't help asking, "What is your relationship with that girl just now?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned: "Are you asking Xia Mi?"

"Yeah, yeah." The squad leader of Class 1 nodded repeatedly.

A few days ago, during the Christmas party, he told Zhao Menghua that Xia Mi, the school beauty from the junior high school, was probably the only one who was not touched by Lu Mingfei. But today, he saw Xia Mi running to the high school to bring food to Lu Mingfei, and even the thermos was decorated with hearts, which made him stunned.

It was as if he had become the supporting actor in a gal game, witnessing the school beauties taking turns to court the male protagonist.

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingfei gave an ambiguous answer and returned to the classroom: "She is just my godsister."

Of course, whether this sister is a foster sister or a foster sister depends on how you understand it.

Chinese culture is extensive and profound.

Today's love lunch box was a little more normal. Xia Mi didn't make a bunch of "food-nourishing" dishes like yesterday, but some homely dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised beef brisket.

Probably because Xia Mi took into consideration that Lu Mingfei was having lunch with a few girls, she prepared quite a lot of dishes.

It must be said that Xia Mi's cooking skills are really good. Lu Mingfei distributed the dishes to the girls, and after tasting them, the girls all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

In fact, to be fair, the cafeteria of Shilan Middle School is actually pretty good, and the taste is definitely excellent among all high schools. After all, the students of Shilan Middle School are either rich or noble.

But no matter how delicious the food in a cafeteria is, it is still a cafeteria after all. Compared with Xia Mi’s loving bento, it pales in comparison.

Even the usually arrogant little goddess gave Xia Mi a high evaluation of her craftsmanship.

Liu Miaomiao even said with a smile that she wanted to adopt Xia Mi as her godsister, so that she could enjoy the same treatment as Lu Mingfei, eat Xia Mi's food every day, and no longer have to eat from the big pot in the cafeteria.

Lu Mingfei secretly thought in his heart, Miaomiao, you and Xia Mi are actually sisters, you just don’t know it…

……

Lu Mingfei didn't sleep well because he was overworked last night.

So during the period after lunch, Lu Mingfei actually wanted to take a break during the lunch break.

But just after returning to the classroom, Chen Wenwen came up to me again.

"Lu Mingfei, are you free during lunch break?"

The most annoying thing in the world is when someone asks you if you are free when you want to sleep. Lu Mingfei yawned sleepily and wanted to say: No! I want to sleep!
But Chen Wenwen looked like she had something important to tell him. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you worried about Miaomiao's birthday?" Chen Wenwen glanced at Liu Miaomiao's seat and said softly, "Let's find a place to discuss it during lunch."

Lu Mingfei originally thought that this topic had come to an abrupt end after Chen Wenwen blushed for no reason this morning. Unexpectedly, Chen Wenwen came to him again at noon and continued this little spark.

Since it was for Liu Miaomiao's sake, Lu Mingfei naturally had no reason to refuse. He really felt that among the people around him, Chen Wenwen was the best person to discuss this matter with.

What, asking who is the worst person?

Lu Mingfei wouldn’t say that he was the paralyzed senior brother… but that was the truth.

Because if he were to discuss this matter with Senior Brother with Face Paralysis, in the end, it might turn into Senior Brother with Face Paralysis gossiping about Lu Mingfei's love life unilaterally.
