Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 669 The Big One is Coming
Everyone stood frozen in their seats, thinking, "That's it?"

Wait, what happened? All that dramatic showdown I've been imagining? It didn't even start! The two of them just chatted briefly, and it's already over. Don't tell me it's over already!

But it was obvious that it really was over. After Su Xiaoqiang sat down, she took out her homework and placed it on the table as usual, and then started chatting with Liu Miaomiao next to her.

Forget about a fight, Su Xiaoqiang didn't seem angry at all. She even greeted Lu Mingfei with a good morning just now.

Zhao Menghua was also puzzled. It was common knowledge at school that Su Xiaoqiang, the little angel, had a fiery temper. Given her proud personality, it was impossible for her not to explode at Lu Mingfei after learning about his infidelity.

"Hasn't she seen that photo that's been all over the school forum?" Zhao Menghua muttered to himself. He felt that this was the only possibility that could explain the situation.

However, compared to Su Xiaoqiang's calm reaction, everyone noticed Lu Mingfei's answer, which was far more information-dense.

Didn't Lu Mingfei just say that he got up early this morning to pick up Chen Wenwen...? What kind of unexpected turn of events is this?
The students in the class were already starting to rack their brains because the information density in those few sentences of conversation was really too high.

Several people who arrived early had seen Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen walking into the classroom hand in hand; they had also just heard Lu Mingfei say that he had gotten up early this morning to pick Chen Wenwen up from her house to go to school together.

And considering the photo that's been causing such a stir on the forum...

"...Could it be?!"

……

The conversation between Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang just now was, of course, something they had already planned last night.

As for the purpose, it was naturally to "unintentionally" convey to everyone that Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen had arranged to come to school together this morning, thus setting the stage for the close relationship between the two.

Clearly, this little design was a success, and some people have begun to scrutinize Chen Wenwen, comparing her eyes, eyebrows, and hairstyle with those in the previous photo.

...The more I look at it, the more it resembles it!
They all have bangs and big almond-shaped eyes.

What's most similar is their eyes! Whether it's the girl in the photo or Chen Wenwen, the way they look at Lu Mingfei is so tender and affectionate!
To be honest, even though the photo wasn't high-resolution and half her face was obscured, Chen Wenwen's eyebrows and eyes only resembled those of Shuu Tokuyaki by about 60-70%.

The reason why everyone who looked at Chen Wenwen had the illusion that "the girl in the photo looks more and more like Chen Wenwen" was because "the more you look at her, the more you feel that she looks like Chen Wenwen".

One reason is that they didn't directly pull out the photos and compare them with Chen Wenwen; they simply compared her face to what they remembered from photos on the forum. The human mind can easily embellish and alter memories.

Secondly, the fact that Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen had entered the classroom hand in hand, and Lu Mingfei's conversation with Su Xiaoqiang, had already planted a seed of suspicion in their minds. They were observing Chen Wenwen under the assumption that the girl in the photo was Chen Wenwen.

Given both circumstances, when they observe Chen Wenwen again, they naturally feel that Chen Wenwen looks more and more like the girl in the photo.

No, in fact, most people already think that Chen Wenwen might be the girl in the photo!
If the girl in the photo is Chen Wenwen, then everything makes sense...

...bullshit!
Even if Chen Wenwen is the girl in the photo, this still doesn't make sense, does it?!

Although everyone knows that Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and Su Xiaoqiang have always been very close to Lu Mingfei.

Sometimes, people would grumble behind his back, saying how lucky Lu Mingfei was with women—they couldn't even dream of it! Just watching Lu Mingfei and Liu Suchen playing and joking around together made you think it was a harem anime protagonist who had crossed over into reality. Anyone who didn't know better would think Lu Mingfei had started a harem at school.

Although people privately joked that Lu Mingfei was building a harem, it was just a joke; Lu Mingfei didn't actually build a harem at school!
Is Lu Mingfei's current girlfriend Su Xiaoqiang, the "Little Fairy"?
Even if Chen Wenwen is the girl in the photo, it still doesn't make sense. Going to see a romantic movie with his girlfriend's best friend behind his girlfriend's back? Going to the movie is one thing, but kissing her? That's blatant infidelity!

Did Su Xiaoqiang truly not know? Or did he know but simply choose to ignore it?
If Su Xiaoqiang were to stand up and angrily call Lu Mingfei a scumbag, and smash a glass as a signal, almost everyone would be happy to side with Su Xiaoqiang and enjoy watching a drama of tearing apart a scumbag.

But the person in charge hasn't said anything yet, so what's the point of others stepping forward like this? Why are the eunuchs so anxious when the emperor isn't?

Although many people already felt that everything matched up and that the girl in the photo was undoubtedly Chen Wenwen.

However, because of Su Xiaoqiang's silence, they were even more confused about the current situation.

Just then, another commotion quietly rose in the classroom... It turned out that Liu Miaomiao had walked into the classroom with her schoolbag on her back.

As a result, everyone's attention in the class shifted from Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei to Liu Miaomiao without prior arrangement.

"..."

Although Liu Miaomiao seems to have little to do with this whole affair—her only identity is Lu Mingfei's "ex-girlfriend"—...

Since she's his ex-girlfriend, it means that everything happening to Lu Mingfei now has nothing to do with him. Even if Lu Mingfei cheats on many girls, it has little to do with his ex.

However, Liu Miaomiao was the girl who dated Lu Mingfei the longest. Their passionate love story was a celebrated tale at school for a long time.

Therefore, many people still subconsciously feel that there is still some relationship between Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei.

Naturally, I'm also curious to know how Liu Miaomiao will react to the "Lu Mingfei cheating scandal" that's been making headlines on the forum.

However, their hopes were dashed.

Because Liu Miaomiao also didn't react at all.

She simply walked straight to her seat with her backpack and, as usual, greeted the girls around her—Su Xiaoqiang, Deng Zhuoyi, and Yan Yan—with a few simple words. Then she took out her workbook and the textbooks she would need for the first class and placed them on the table.

They say three girls make a drama. But now, all three of Lu Mingfei's girls are here, the stage is set, yet they haven't seen a single act. Zhao Menghua is undoubtedly the most perplexed. He's even starting to wonder if his secret filming of Lu Mingfei's affair with that senior sister named Jiu Deyaji was just a dream. Perhaps because he dislikes Lu Mingfei every day, he orchestrated this drama in his dream to ruin Lu Mingfei's reputation.

But when he checked his phone's photo album, the picture he had secretly taken of Lu Mingfei and Jiu Deya kissing was still there. He wasn't dreaming.

Just when everyone was disappointed, thinking that at least this year's morning reading session would be free of any more incidents,

Liu Miaomiao suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, and said with a smile, "By the way, Wenwen, how was the movie yesterday? Was it good?"

……

The Shilan Secondary School forum was experiencing a low point in its daily visitor count.

Unlike the real world, where most people are active during the day, internet users tend to gather and be active at night. This characteristic is even more pronounced on the Shilan Secondary School forum, whose active group is mainly composed of students from the school.

The reason is simple. Before smartphones, many students could only browse the web on computers after school. Accessing websites and forums on a mobile phone was a privilege reserved for a limited number of phones running the latest Symbian operating system.

On the white and green interface, white real-time information languishes listlessly on the homepage. During the day, fewer people log on to the forum to post or bump threads; most posts remain unchanged on the forum page, like a stagnant pool whose beginning and end have been cut off.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous white message quietly appeared on the forum's homepage. It was then immediately highlighted in red. Highlighting in red is an administrator's privilege, meaning the administrator had set the post to "explode" status in the backend.

Immediately, this red message rose above all other messages and was pinned to the top of the forum homepage. Backend records showed the administrator's ID as Lei Xiuyuan, the current administrator of the Shilan Middle School forum. He was nicknamed the "Cleansing Messenger" because he frequently deleted posts from students secretly asking for answers during school exams.

It was during morning class time, and the students who were taking computer classes in the computer lab were bored and had nothing to do. They casually logged into the Shilan Middle School forum and immediately noticed this message that was highlighted in red.

Breaking News: Chen Wenwen went to see a movie in the CBD with Lu Mingfei yesterday weekend. The identity of the woman in the photos seems to have been revealed. The source is reliable.

The student who saw the message paused for a moment, then immediately typed the first reply below the post: "How reliable is it?"

A few seconds later, the poster replied to him: "Liu Miaomiao said it."

The information on the forum is a mix of truth and falsehood; even cousins ​​Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi can have outrageous rumors circulating about them here.

For most posts, unless accompanied by irrefutable evidence like yesterday's photo of "Lu Mingfei kissing a mystery girl," many students simply treat forum gossip posts as mere entertainment.

But the news from Liu Miaomiao was different. The piano prodigy, Lu Mingfei, and Chen Wenwen were originally classmates. Even after breaking up with Lu Mingfei, the two remained very close. Their friendship was so deep that she even kissed Lu Mingfei on the cheek in front of the entire school.

She's practically every guy's dream ex.

If, as the poster suggests, this news is indeed "said by Liu Miaomiao," then the testimony from Lu Mingfei's ex-girlfriend is undoubtedly as compelling and irrefutable as the photos.

Regardless of whether the information is true or false, the first thing the gossip group should do is share it in the class group to get the first scoop.

And just like that, the news spread like wildfire, and soon the link to the post was shared in most of the class and grade groups at Shilan Middle School.

As a result, more and more people began to compare Chen Wenwen with the girl in the photo and found that the two did indeed have many similarities in their facial features.

By lunchtime, the identity of "the girl kissing Lu Mingfei in the photo" had been definitively confirmed as Chen Wenwen.

As usual, when Lian Lumingfei was having lunch with his girlfriends in the cafeteria, he would occasionally glance in their direction.

Many eyes were drawn to Chen Wenwen, not only because she was currently embroiled in a scandal, but also because... she was sitting next to Lu Mingfei.

Isn't that seat usually reserved for the official girlfriend, Su Xiaoqiang? And before that, it was Liu Miaomiao's usual seat.

"Gossip spreads really fast."

Sitting opposite Lu Mingfei, Su Xiaoqiang clicked her tongue in amazement, her chopsticks twirling in her hand: "The people at the table behind you are all watching Mingfei and Wenwen."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Wenwen immediately became a little nervous and asked, "What should we do then?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Xiaoqiang, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, picked up a slice of lotus root and put it in her mouth: "You're Mingfei's official girlfriend now, isn't it only natural for you to sit next to him? Why do you care what others think? No matter what others think of you, you should act like your wardrobe is full of Chanel and Louis Vuitton."

"That's what I said..."

Chen Wenwen awkwardly crossed her legs, turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei sitting next to her, and thought to herself, "But this is only my first day being Mingfei's 'girlfriend,' I'm definitely still a little unaccustomed to it..."

Previously, when she saw Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang able to claim themselves as Lu Mingfei's official girlfriends, and could openly sit next to Lu Mingfei and naturally hold hands with him while strolling around campus, she felt a little envious.

After all, Lu Mingfei was the boy she liked, and also her boyfriend. It would be a lie to say she wasn't envious of Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang back then. Of course, every girl wants to openly and affectionately show off her love with the boy she likes on campus.

But now she suddenly realized that being Lu Mingfei's official girlfriend wasn't such a simple thing. Just the glances she received from those who secretly looked at her were already making her feel incredibly pressured.

She couldn't help but admire Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang.

But this only strengthened her resolve... She was determined to do her best to be Mingfei's official girlfriend! She couldn't let Qiangqiang and the others down!
