Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 666 Something is wrong!
Chen Wenwen blinked, looking somewhat bewildered, clearly not yet understanding the meaning behind Su Xiaoqiang's words. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, couldn't help but cover his forehead, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought..."

The little fairy and her friends planned to push Wenwen out and say that the girl in the photo was Wenwen.

Su Xiaoqiang placed his hand on Chen Wenwen's shoulder, pressing her to sit up straight on the sofa, and used a magazine to cover the lower half of Chen Wenwen's face. Liu Miaomiao immediately stood up, took out her phone, and snapped a picture of Chen Wenwen. Then she opened her photo album and placed her phone next to the computer screen for comparison.

You know what? They really do look somewhat alike!

Because the photo's resolution is low, and it's only a side profile, Chen Wenwen also has a pair of cute, round almond-shaped eyes, and her bangs are neatly trimmed. If someone isn't very familiar with Chen Wenwen, just looking at those eyes, they would indeed feel that Chen Wenwen and the girl in the photo look about six or seven parts alike.

What? You're asking what to do with the remaining three or four points? Look at the photo on your ID card, does it look exactly like you?
Upon seeing this, even if Chen Wenwen was slow to react, she would have already realized what kind of wicked scheme her best friends were plotting. She immediately waved her hand, saying, "I, I can't... Besides, Mingfei's current girlfriend is Qiangqiang. Even if I said the girl in the photo was me, wouldn't people still think Mingfei is cheating?"

"That's all right."

Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "Why don't we just say that Mingfei and I have broken up peacefully? When Mingfei and I were on a date, someone secretly took pictures of us. Didn't Miaomiao say the same thing? We had already agreed that you would be Mingfei's girlfriend during the last month at Shilan Middle School, right? It's just a little earlier now. It's okay."

"That's what they say, but you and Mingfei were still a couple at school this week. When Mingfei accompanied us to the job interview on Friday, you two were even holding hands..."

"Then say I broke up with Mingfei on Saturday, and that you, Wenwen, were with Mingfei on Sunday."

Chen Wenwen was even more stunned upon hearing this: "Huh? This, isn't this a bit too fast...?"

Seeing that Chen Wenwen was still hesitant, Su Xiaoqiang squatted down in front of Chen Wenwen, put his hands on her shoulders, and said seriously, "Mingfei has done so much for us, shouldn't we do something for Mingfei in return?"

...Moral blackmail! This is blatant moral blackmail! Lu Mingfei shouted in his heart.

Lu Mingfei had never thought that Chen Wenwen and the others would do anything for him.

Besides, he didn't feel like he had done anything special for Chen Wenwen or Liu Miaomiao.

He once faced Deadpool alone in the Nibelungen subway, protecting Liu Miaomiao behind him. But even if it wasn't Liu Miaomiao, but just an ordinary classmate, he would still protect her; in his view, it was simply his duty... Moreover, at that time, his relationship with Liu Miaomiao was indeed just that of a pretty female classmate.

He once skipped class and traveled all the way to Portugal to see Xiaotiannv, just because Xia Mi told him that Portugal might not be safe recently... But Xiaotiannv was his good friend at the time, and it was only right to go to great lengths for his friend.

He also cured Chen Wenwen's illness when she was hospitalized with lupus. Lu Mingze gave him a secret technique called "The Prince's Kiss." In fairy tales, a prince's kiss has the power to cure all diseases. Relying on the effects of this technique, he successfully cured Chen Wenwen's lupus.

The problem is, he doesn't seem to have paid any price to cure Chen Wenwen's illness. On the contrary, he got her first kiss, second kiss, third kiss... So, it seems like he profited more?
Later, he gradually established romantic relationships with Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen. In his view, what he did for these girls was simply fulfilling the duties of a boyfriend. After all, these girls were willing to date him...

However, although Lu Mingfei felt that he hadn't done anything particularly special for Chen Wenwen and the others, Chen Wenwen didn't think so.

Qiangqiang is right, Mingfei has done so much for me... Now it's time for me to do something for Mingfei.

Thinking of this, she bit her lip, looked up at Su Xiaoqiang and said, "...I understand. Then I'll say that at school tomorrow. If anyone mentions this, I'll say that the girl in the photo is me, and that I'm currently dating Mingfei."

Seeing Su Xiaoqiang blink and a triumphant smile appear on her lips, Lu Mingfei understood... It was a pretense that she wanted Wenwen to replace Yaqi to help him salvage his reputation; her real intention was probably to secretly watch the drama unfold between him and Wenwen at school!

It seems that many girls have this mentality: it's certainly sweet and romantic to spread sweetness themselves; but there's also a different kind of fun in quietly eating the sweetness from their best friend.

However, this solution doesn't seem to have salvaged his reputation much... He broke up with his ex-girlfriend on Saturday and got together with his current girlfriend on Sunday. Such a seamless transition only cements his reputation as a playboy.

Okay, being a "player" is still better than cheating in terms of reputation. Besides, people at school already assume he's a player...

Su Xiaoqiang sat back down on the sofa: "However, we still need to finalize the details to avoid discrepancies in everyone's testimonies and giving ourselves away. Fortunately, we still have some time now."

Xia Mi said, "I think it's probably better if Senior Sister Qiangqiang announces that you and Senior Brother broke up first, and then Senior Sister Wenwen says that she and Senior Brother are together. If there's no prior setup, it will feel a bit abrupt."

“I agree with Xiaomi’s point of view.” Liu Miaomiao nodded.

So, for the next hour or so, several girls sat around Lu Mingfei and had a serious discussion.

Lu Mingfei suddenly had a hallucination of large meetings he used to attend in the student council. The heads of various departments of the student council would sit around a round table, arguing their points and expressing their opinions. The student council president, Caesar, would sit at the head of the round table, his hands crossed and his chin resting on his hand, listening solemnly to everyone's opinions.

However, the topics discussed at those large meetings were usually solemn and serious. On a smaller scale, they discussed the student council's development plan for the next academic year; on a larger scale, they discussed the competition with the Lionheart Society. It was said that the executive department had another S-level mission, and the first choice for the mission was Lancelot, the vice president of the Lionheart Society. Should they consider taking on the mission before the executive department issued the mission assignment?

Meanwhile, the girls were discussing how to help Lu Mingfei have a harem at school while also gaining a good reputation...

In the end, everyone pieced together the testimonies of "when Su Xiaoqiang broke up with Lu Mingfei", "when Chen Wenwen got together with Lu Mingfei", "why she fell in love with Lu Mingfei", and "how much Liu Miaomiao knew about the incident".

In order not to seem too deliberate, they all agreed that Chen Wenwen should not take the initiative to officially announce that she and Lu Mingfei were together.

All Su Xiaoqiang needs to do is be affectionate and close to Lu Mingfei in the classroom, just like they would in private, and then keep a little distance from Lu Mingfei.

When others became suspicious and inquired about them, Su Xiaoqiang then revealed that she and Lu Mingfei had broken up peacefully and that Chen Wenwen was now Lu Mingfei's girlfriend.

Of course, some people will definitely ask Su Xiaoqiang if she broke up with Lu Mingfei because she saw the photos of Lu Mingfei cheating on her in the forum. In that case, Su Xiaoqiang could naturally say that the person in the photos was Chen Wenwen, and that Lu Mingfei did not cheat.

After all, the photo isn't very clear, and the girl in the photo has eyes that are about 60-70% similar to Chen Wenwen's. This explanation is enough to satisfy most people.

Of course, Chen Wenwen was also a well-known figure at school. Many girls in her class got along well with her. However, there were always some people who knew Chen Wenwen quite well who felt that the person in the photos looked a little different from Chen Wenwen herself.

They will definitely be skeptical of this explanation, and might even ask Chen Wenwen, "Is this photo of you?" Faced with such questions, Chen Wenwen only needs to answer with, "It's me."

If the other party presses for clarification, saying, "Really?"

Then Chen Wenwen could find some small excuse to get away with it, such as "I was very thin back then..." or something like that.

……

And so, after a tense and uneasy night, Monday, the first day of school, arrived as scheduled.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but as soon as he stepped out of the taxi, Lu Mingfei felt countless eyes immediately focusing on him. It was like a secret agent being watched by the enemy.

Their gazes held a mix of complexity, curiosity, and amusement… but above all, contempt. Contempt for Lu Mingfei's infidelity despite having Su Xiaoqiang as a woman! This kind of scumbag who ruined the school beauty of Shilan Middle School deserves to be condemned by everyone!
"..."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, but stepped out of the taxi without hesitation. However, he did not leave immediately but stood by the taxi door, as if waiting for someone.

Waiting for whom? Xia Mi? Most people naturally know that Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei are "cousins," and Xia Mi seems to be staying at Lu Mingfei's house. The two of them occasionally come to school together.

But the answer was revealed the next moment. Sure enough, a pair of fair and slender legs stretched out from the car door. The girl who got out of the car was... Chen Wenwen?

Chen Wenwen gracefully stepped off the bus, carrying her schoolbag, and stood in front of Lu Mingfei, adjusting her skirt with her head down. Her long, flowing pigtails swayed behind her head.

Her face was burning... and she could feel the gazes coming from all around her.

Although she usually gets a lot of attention at school, with boys often turning around to steal glances at her back as they pass by, this seemed to be the first time she'd been stared at like this. Moreover, many of those gazes were mixed with teasing looks.

The students from Shilan Middle School were all extremely surprised... Why was Chen Wenwen coming to school with Lu Mingfei the day after his cheating scandal broke? And why did they get out of the same taxi?
This was something we discussed last night, of course.

Su Xiaoqiang believes that having Chen Wenwen say that she and Lu Mingfei are currently in a romantic relationship sounds rather weak and unconvincing.

We need to present the facts! Present the facts, as real as diamonds, to everyone! Let them see for themselves the intimate relationship between Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, only then will they believe it.

Clearly, the fact that Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen arrived at school in the same taxi on the first morning of the new school year was a shocking event that was sure to cause a huge uproar.

Why did they both come to school together on Monday morning? Don't they live quite far apart...? What did they do last night?
Lu Mingfei naturally didn't do anything with Chen Wenwen last night... After all, Chen Wenwen usually can't stay out overnight on Sunday nights, and she's been feeling unwell these past few days.

Of course, this only applies to last night.

However, when Lu Mingfei took a taxi today, he deliberately asked the driver to take a detour and drive to the entrance of Chen Wenwen's residential area before picking her up and then coming to the school.

Feeling the increasingly complicated gazes of those around him, Lu Mingfei realized that Little Fairy's plan had already achieved initial success.

Chen Wenwen was clearly uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes, so she moved her little feet forward and subconsciously got closer to Lu Mingfei.

When people feel insecure, they subconsciously gravitate towards people or things that can bring them a sense of security.

However, this behavior, when observed by those around them, only solidified a thought in their minds:
Something's off between these two!

"Let's go back to the classroom quickly," Chen Wenwen said softly, looking down at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei took Chen Wenwen's hand and walked towards a breakfast shop not far away, saying with a smile, "No rush, let's go buy breakfast first. Wenwen, what do you want to eat? Their fried dough sticks are quite delicious."

Chen Wenwen watched as Lu Mingfei took her hand, then glanced at the people around them out of the corner of her eye. Realizing that this was the first time she had been seen by Lu Mingfei as his girlfriend in front of everyone, her ears turned even redder. She whispered, "Then let's have soy milk and fried dough sticks..."

"..."

...These two are really acting strangely!
After buying breakfast, the two held hands and entered the gate of Shilan Middle School together.

However, this feeling of being constantly stared at didn't disappear after entering school; in fact, it intensified. The reason is simple: there are many more students in school.

It wasn't until we reached the teaching building for the first-year students, arrived at the floor where Class 2 of the first-year students was located, and entered our classroom, that the gazes that had been fixed on Chen Wenwen's back finally disappeared, making her a little nervous.

She breathed a sigh of relief, realizing for the first time that being Mingfei's girlfriend was such a stressful thing.

Thankfully, we're back in the classroom...

Just as she was thinking this, a girl in the classroom greeted her.

"Good morning, Wenwen." Yan Yan, sitting in her seat, caught a glimpse of the familiar girl out of the corner of her eye and immediately turned around to greet her with a smile.

The moment the greeting left her lips, her expression froze.

Because she saw Lu Mingfei next to Chen Wenwen, and... the two of them holding hands?!
