Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 573: Get Back What You Owe in Portugal
Zero said we were on the rooftop...

Jiude Mai paused for a moment, knowing that Sanwu had sold her out again. This was the second time!
"Where is Ling?" Lu Mingfei asked. He didn't see Ling on the rooftop.

"She just left. I don't know where she went." Jiude Mai shrugged. "Do you have anything to do with her?"

"Oh……"

Lu Mingfei retracted his gaze and said, "I'm not here to get change... Anyway, isn't it dangerous for you to sit like that?"

Aren’t you here for change?

Jiude Mai frowned subconsciously when she heard this. She was the only one on the rooftop besides Sanwu just now. If this guy didn't come to find Sanwu... then it seemed obvious who he was looking for.

Thinking of this, Jiude Mai unconsciously moved her butt to the side and back, and shrank her body and became alert like a little fox seeing a human approaching, with a cautious light flashing in her eyes.

Why did this guy come to see me? Is this a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken?
Thanks to what happened in the afternoon, Jiude Mai now has a very bad psychological impression of Lu Mingfei.

Although the ending was good in the end, and she and Aki got along much better and more smoothly than she had imagined...but that didn't mean she could easily forgive Lu Mingfei for what he had done. Now, no matter how she looked at Lu Mingfei, she felt like this guy was trying to trick her again.

"It's only a few floors high, what's the danger?"

Jiude Mai shrugged out of habit, then blinked and smiled, "You're a grown man, you're not afraid of this height, are you?"

As soon as Jiude Mai finished speaking, Lu Mingfei walked towards her and sat down on the edge of the rooftop in the same posture as her, with his legs hanging over the edge like a swing.

Under his feet, neon lights spread out in all directions along the intricate roads of Shinjuku District. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face, not strong, but a little chilly. Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw Jiude Mai's long black hair blowing against the wind. She crossed her legs, hugged her arms in the wind, and looked at him.

"You've got some courage." Jiude Mai said calmly, and turned her gaze back to the distance.

Lu Mingfei supported himself with his hands at his sides, looking at the skyline in front of him that was hidden in the lights. "When I was in high school, sometimes I didn't want to go home too early, but I had nowhere to go, so I would go to the rooftop of my uncle and aunt's house and sit on the edge of the rooftop to watch the sunset. I would not leave until it got dark."

"High school? Aren't you only in the first year of high school now?" Jiude Mai said, "What can I do for you?"

"It's nothing serious."

"Ah, this..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. “It’s nothing serious. I’m going to have dinner with Junior Sister Miaomiao and the others, and also go shopping in Ginza. I guess I won’t be back until very late.”

"Just go, why do you need to report to me?"

"Well, during this period of time, Senior Sister Aki should be the only one in the room..."

Jiude Mai pondered for a moment, then understood what Lu Mingfei meant.

She raised her eyebrows, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a strange light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lu Mingfei under the night sky, as if a zoologist had seen a very strange species. She leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on her legs, and glanced at Lu Mingfei: "Has anyone ever told you that you have a bad habit? That is, you like to meddle in other people's affairs."

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe? I don't remember."

He really did not remember some of it, and trying to travel through the long time to review some of the small things in his memory was actually quite a difficult task.

But this also shows that he is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. A long time ago, he was actually very weak in action. He was not the heroic hero in traditional martial arts novels who would decisively jump out and draw his sword to help when he saw injustice. Chu Zihang is probably the kind of traditional hero that Jiude Mai said, who likes to meddle in other people's affairs to the point of being a gossip.

He had no energy, and as a result he lost a lot of things.

Maybe it was because of this that he was leaning towards Chu Zihang's gossip. The matter between Mai and Aki had nothing to do with him, but he just couldn't help wanting to help.

He has experienced the feeling of loss, so he doesn't want others to lose it too.

"Don't remember?" Jiude Mai rolled her eyes. "Then I'll say this now: I think you're a little too nosy. Do you remember?"

Lu Mingfei spread his hands: "I'll try my best."

It was really strange. Jiude Mai felt that she was not a very talkative person, at least not one who liked to talk to people she was not familiar with. The quarrels with Potato Chips Girl probably accounted for half of her conversations in a year. But for no reason, the quarrels with Lu Mingfei reminded her of the feeling when she quarreled with Potato Chips Girl.

Of course, there are more strange points, such as Lu Mingfei's abnormally strong fighting ability, and the fact that Lu Mingfei, who has never been to Japan, actually knows Uesugi Erii, and the latter is willing to follow Lu Mingfei and run away from home.

She originally thought that Lu Mingfei was just a loser, so she couldn't understand many of her boss's orders, but now it seems...

"Hey……"

Jiude Mai's mind moved, and she couldn't help but ask out her confusion: "How did you get to know Uesugi Eri? And San... Zero too. That time in Portugal should have been the first time you met Zero, but you didn't seem surprised at the time?"

In fact, Jiude Mai is not the only one who has such doubts. Su Enxi, Nuonuo, EVA, and even Su Xiaoqiang when she first met Lu Mingfei, all of them have similar doubts in their hearts. Nuonuo read something strange from Lu Mingfei through her extraordinary profiling ability, and EVA discovered Lu Mingfei's abnormality based on the comparison of Lu Mingfei's information before and after junior high school.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect Jiude Mai to suddenly ask this question...or rather, someone finally asked him this question. Jiude Mai looked at him with a sidelong glance, her eyes were indifferent, but very serious. It was as if she had to ask Lu Mingfei to give her an answer.

How should I deal with it this time...?
"..."

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and said, "It's not impossible to tell you."

"On condition?"

"There are conditions." Lu Mingfei said: "I can tell you, but in exchange, you have to tell me about what happened between you and Senior Sister Aji. Senior Sister Aji said that you left home when you were 5 years old. I'm quite curious about what happened in between."

Lu Mingfei was certain that Jiude Mai would not tell him such a private matter, so he proposed such a condition. As long as Jiude Mai refused him, he could naturally avoid this problem.

As expected, Jiude Mai frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so interested in Aki?"

"..."

Wait, why are you looking at me with those eyes like a wary pervert?

But Jiude Mai's answer was beyond Lu Mingfei's expectation. She shrugged, and her long and slender legs swung like water on the edge of the rooftop: "It's okay to tell you, but you have to say it first."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and thought, isn’t this right?

According to the normal development of the plot, it shouldn't be that you don't want to talk about this matter, and then I can naturally not answer your question. We all parted ways, I went to eat and go shopping with Miaomiao and the others, and you went back to your room to reminisce with Senior Sister Yaji. Did this day pass like this? Why did you play completely out of the ordinary?

Seeing Lu Mingfei's stunned look, Jiude Mai smiled evilly in her heart. She could naturally hear Lu Mingfei's intention... How could she let Lu Mingfei fool her so easily?
Today, whether you want to say it or not, you have to tell it to me. In short, don’t try to escape.

As for whether she would fulfill her promise and tell Lu Mingfei what happened between her and Aki after Lu Mingfei finished speaking...beautiful women always have some privileges to lie and cheat, don't they?

The cold wind on the rooftop was chilly under the night sky. Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes and stared at Jiude Mai blankly. The current situation completely trapped him. It was neither right nor wrong. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little scared of the woman in front of him... Her level was really high, much higher than those little girls like Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen. She took the upper hand in the conversation with just a few words, which made Lu Mingfei feel frustrated for the first time in a long time. What a bad woman.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a while and asked, "Then, I will tell the truth?"

"Go ahead." Jude Mai nodded slightly, with an expression as if she was waiting for a good show.

"I actually traveled back from the future."

Lu Mingfei said seriously, "Have you seen Doraemon? It's just like that, traveling back from the future in a time machine from a desk drawer. Because I knew Zero in the future, I wasn't surprised to see Zero."

The highest level of lying is to tell half the truth and half the lies. If Lu Mingfei only said the first half of the sentence, although it sounds a bit strange, but considering the various abnormalities of Lu Mingfei, with Jiude Mai's heart as soft as a rose, she might not be unskeptical.

But after adding the second half of the sentence, Lu Mingfei's entire answer seemed like nonsense.

Jiude Mai really didn't believe it. She curled her lips and snorted, thinking that Lu Mingfei didn't want to say it, so he gave a random answer.

Traveling back from the future? Pah! Why don't you bring a Doraemon with you? That way I can have some free time for the potato chips!
Lu Mingfei spread his hands: "Okay, I'm done, it's your turn. When did you break up with Senior Sister Yaji?"

Jiude Mai tilted her head and looked at him: "When did I ever say such a thing?"

Lu Mingfei said: "You want to default on your debt?"

"You were the one who started talking nonsense."

"No way, I'm telling the truth. I really did travel back from the future."

"Yes, yes, you traveled back from the future."

Jiude Mai sneered: "Even if it's true, so what? Haven't you read Jin Yong's novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"? In it, Zhang Wuji's mother said to Zhang Wuji: Never trust beautiful women. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. If I didn't say it, would you still eat me?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, who said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie? Junior Sister Miaomiao and the others don’t lie that much, you’re the only one who lies... It was just as he thought, what a bad woman.

Lu Mingfei curled his lips: "Aren't you afraid that I will really eat you?"

"Ah."

Jiude Mai sneered, and suddenly stretched out her perfect body in the night sky. Every stretched curve on her body reminded people of a blooming flower.

After stretching, she put her hands on her slender waist and smiled contemptuously: "I'm afraid you don't have the courage. Girl, I'll sit here. If you hide for a moment, I'll lose."

Jiude Mai felt that the little guy didn't have the guts to do that. After spending so much time with Lu Mingfei, she felt that she knew Lu Mingfei's character very well. He was a typical person who had the desire but not the courage, and he only dared to bully people in the home of Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang.

Otherwise, when he was conquering Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang, he wouldn't have needed her and Potato Chips to help push the harem line from behind when he could have easily established it with a single attack.

The point that best reflects this situation is the day when she became Lu Mingfei's personal secretary.

Lu Mingfei recognized her identity at that time and held her chin with his hand, intending to use this method to force her to tell him who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Jiude Mai, who couldn't possibly expose the person behind the scenes, had already closed her eyes and was ready to accept her fate, but Lu Mingfei held her chin and paused for a minute without daring to kiss her. In the end, the three children from Shilan Middle School who witnessed everything nearby interrupted the embarrassing scene.

Well, this is the situation now, Jiude Mai thought.

"..."

Wait a minute--

Jiude Mai suddenly came back to her senses and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Originally, she and Lu Mingfei were sitting very close to each other, with only about half a meter between them. But at some point, this half-meter distance was shortened to a private distance of only a few centimeters.

Lu Mingfei turned sideways, and his right hand touched her smoothly curved jaw at some point, lifting her face up, making Jiude Mai realize that the boy in front of her was actually taller than her.

Lu Mingfei looked at her from top to bottom, their eyes sinking into each other's sight. The air they breathed out gently exchanged.

The distance between mouth and lips... maybe only ten centimeters?
Jiude Mai suddenly thought of the Korean dramas about overbearing CEOs that she had watched with Potato Chip Girl. In the Korean dramas, when the overbearing CEO was about to kiss the heroine, he seemed to do this.

Nine centimeters, eight centimeters——

The distance continued to shrink little by little. Jiude Mai almost couldn't help but give in...if she hadn't seen the wavering look in Lu Mingfei's eyes. But seeing Lu Mingfei's eyes also hesitant and in a dilemma, she knew that Lu Mingfei was just holding on like her.

A little loser is a little loser, and it is impossible for him to become a little lion, Jiude Mai thought to herself.

Seven centimeters, six centimeters——

The little guy's voice was also unstable: "You should remember that you owed me something when you were in Portugal, right?"

Jiude Mai winked seductively: "You want to take it back now? Sure, just take it. I won't tell you anyway."

The indentation stopped at five centimeters. Jiude Mai remained calm, and she seemed to have more lingering charm than Lu Mingfei.

But this was just an illusion. If she hadn't tried to adjust her breathing rhythm, her pounding heart would have completely disrupted her breathing. Damn it, how could her heart beat so fast? Even when she swam two thousand meters in the sea, her heart didn't beat so fast.

The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that Lu Mingfei’s current condition was probably not better than hers.

In this situation, whoever gives in first will probably lose to the other person for the rest of his life, right?
"Are you sure?" Lu Mingfei continued to ask.

Jiude Mai shrugged: "Whatever. I said, if you dodge even once, I lose."

Damn it, normally in this situation, shouldn't someone come to interrupt them? Just like last time, when Lu Mingfei was about to kiss her, Liu Miaomiao and the others suddenly appeared beside them.

...No, maybe it's too late...

The last five centimeters of distance shrank instantly——

In an instant, something rough yet gentle blocked her lips, awakening a feeling deep in her heart that had been somewhat forgotten.
