Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 674 A Man Should Be Like Young Master Lu

I almost blurted it out after them!

Chen Wenwen's pretty face flushed, but fortunately she reacted immediately and forcibly swallowed the word "male" back. She was so nervous that she almost bit her tongue!
Qiangqiang is the same... It's fine to call someone "husband" at home, but how could she say it out loud at school? She herself has never called Mingfei that at school before!
Lu Mingfei was also a little disappointed, since he almost heard Wenwen call him "husband" at school.

Although Chen Wenwen often called Lu Mingfei "husband" with teary eyes and a swaying figure when they were alone, her soft, pleading voice echoing in the room, calling him "husband" at school felt somewhat different from calling him at home.

But he's supposed to play badminton with Erii...

If he were to play against her, Erii probably wouldn't hold back like she did when playing against Wenwen and the others. He knew Erii's personality; the yakuza princess was fiercely competitive only when it came to games.

If it were just two S-class mixed-race individuals playing badminton, it would probably turn into a battle of the century, right?

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei took the badminton racket from Chen Wenwen and said with a smile, "Then let your husband help you get revenge."

But since his girlfriend had taken the initiative to contact him, how could he, as her boyfriend, refuse?

Lu Mingfei spoke casually, but Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and Su Xiaoqiang all noticed the details in his words. He didn't say "help you get back at him," but rather "help you all get back at him."

The girls exchanged glances subconsciously, their faces slightly flushed, thinking to themselves that Mingfei was about to transfer schools, so he wasn't going to pretend anymore, right?
Fortunately, most people didn't notice this small detail. Unless you're listening intently, it's hard to tell whether Lu Mingfei said "you" or "you all." Even if someone did hear it, they probably would just think Lu Mingfei made a slip of the tongue and wouldn't take it to heart.

So the badminton court started to get lively. The junior high school girls who were playing badminton on the adjacent court also stopped playing and gradually gathered around Lu Mingfei's court.

When Deng Zhuoyi returned from buying water, the area around the badminton court was completely packed with people. She had only ever seen such a scene when Chu Zihang played basketball, and she was quite taken aback by the crowd.

However, the spectators surrounding the badminton court were somewhat different from those at the basketball court. While the basketball crowd was almost entirely female, the group around the badminton court included many boys as well.

This was somewhat unexpected for Deng Zhuoyi. She knew that Lu Mingfei had many female admirers among the younger students; handsome seniors always easily attracted the admiration of their juniors. But would boys usually come to watch Lu Mingfei play badminton? Or were they actually there to see Erii?

At the start of Lu Mingfei and Erii's badminton match, she volunteered to buy water, unaware of the current situation. Now, the badminton court is surrounded by people, making it difficult for her to enter.

He could only carry a large bag of water in front of him, shouting "Make way, make way!" as he squeezed his way through the crowd.

Finally, they managed to squeeze back into the badminton court. Deng Zhuoyi stood at the edge of the court, carrying a plastic bag full of mineral water. After taking a clear look at the situation on the court, she finally understood why so many people were watching from the sidelines.

As an amateur badminton enthusiast, Deng Zhuoyi has never personally witnessed a professional match. She simply feels that the level of excitement in a professional match is probably comparable to the one right now.

Lu Mingfei and Erii stood at opposite ends of the court, the badminton net serving as a dividing line between them. The scoreboard beside the court showed their score at 19-19, a crucial game that was about to determine the winner.

Judging from the score, the two players are evenly matched. However, in terms of the game itself, Erii has a slight advantage.

Lu Mingfei's movements were already quite graceful, but Erii's movements were even more agile and free, like a little tiger leaping lightly across the field.

She could always anticipate the shuttlecock's trajectory the instant Lu Mingfei's racket struck it, her toes lightly touching the ground before spinning at an incredible angle, and the next moment she was already propelled to the shuttlecock's landing point. The hem of her school uniform fluttered in the wind.

What she held in her hand was less like a badminton racket and more like a long sword, because Deng Zhuoyi had never seen anyone hold a badminton racket like that before; it was more like the posture of a fencer holding a sword. The action of hitting the shuttlecock back resembled drawing a sword.

The moment the shuttlecock is slashed back, there is even a loud popping sound of wind pressure in the air.

While Lu Mingfei's movements weren't as agile as Erii's, his badminton shuttlecock grip was clearly much more professional.

The shuttlecock spun and whistled towards him amidst the sound of the wind colliding with it. Lu Mingfei flicked his wrist, simply making a horizontal slash in front of him, skillfully hitting the whistling shuttlecock back. Clearly, compared to Erii, he was more of a technique-based player.

"So fast!"

This thought crossed the minds of every spectator watching outside the badminton court.

If Lu Mingfei and Erii hadn't been moving so incredibly fast, someone might have noticed that their pupils had turned gold without them even realizing it. But even so, this was far from Lu Mingfei and Erii's fastest speed.

With both of them fully activated, ordinary people would probably not be able to see their figures and movements clearly with their naked eyes; they could only see two afterimages flashing around on the field.

The reason why neither of them used their full strength was not because they intentionally held back, but simply because the Yonex carbon fiber shuttlecocks in their hands, and the shuttlecocks themselves, limited their performance.

Even though the shuttlecocks used in physical education classes at Shilan Secondary School are professional badminton shuttlecocks used in competitions, they still couldn't withstand their full-force hits. One hit would probably break the shuttlecock apart.

Even though they had deliberately restrained their strength, the scattered broken shuttlecocks on the sidelines showed that these two had already destroyed countless shuttlecocks.

"These two are so good at fighting, why don't they become professional athletes?!"

Deng Zhuoyi clicked her tongue in amazement and walked to the "family and friends' seats" on the other side of the venue with her bottled water.

Actually, the badminton court itself doesn't have a designated area for family and friends. It's just that because Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and Su Xiaoqiang were standing there, everyone consciously made room for them, assuming that area was a designated area for Lu Mingfei's "family and friends" to enter.

"Here, have some water." Deng Zhuoyi smiled and handed out bottled water to everyone one by one.

Chen Wenwen took the water and asked with a smile, "Thank you, how much is it?"

Deng Zhuoyi immediately waved her hand in front of her: "It's just a bottle of water, Wenwen, why are you being so polite? Your husband has treated us so many times, does he expect us to pay for it every time?"

Chen Wenwen paused for a moment, secretly blushing to herself, wondering how he had just assumed she was his husband...

"Oh--"

Suddenly, a gasp rang out from the audience. Chen Wenwen and Deng Zhuoyi turned to look at the side of the badminton court and saw Erii sitting on her side on the court, her badminton racket flying to the side, her brows furrowed as she pressed her ankle, looking like she had twisted it.

It's clear that Lu Mingfei won this match, but now nobody cares about the outcome anymore.

Seeing that Erii had fallen to the ground while trying to catch the ball he had shot into the corner, Lu Mingfei immediately jumped over the net and rushed to Erii's side of the court.

However, Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen had already gathered around Erii's side before Lu Mingfei.

"what happened?"

Lu Mingfei half-squatted down in front of Erii and asked anxiously, "Erii, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Erii pursed her lips and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

"It looks like he sprained his ankle."

Chen Wenwen said, then her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she looked at Lu Mingfei with a slightly reproachful look, saying, "Isn't it all your fault? Why do you always hit balls at tricky angles for Erii to catch?"

Lu Mingfei felt a bit amused and exasperated.

After all, he never expected that Erii would sprain her ankle while playing badminton.

That's a dignified S-class hybrid, the noble "Emperor" among the White King's bloodline, the hidden weapon of the Snake Clan, and possibly even the strongest hybrid among humans. Erii at full power would probably make even third-generation or second-generation dragons avoid her.

Erii spraining her ankle while playing badminton is as exaggerated as Liu Xiang spraining his ankle while taking a walk in his own neighborhood.

However, this unexpected thing did happen. When Lu Mingfei saw Erii's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly and her face showing a little pain, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, blaming himself for getting into a fight with Erii.

Although the intention is to help the "wives" get back at them... isn't Erii one of the "wives" too?

"Let's go to the infirmary first."

As Lu Mingfei spoke, he squatted down in front of Erii. The girls immediately understood and helped Erii onto Lu Mingfei's back, while the onlookers made way for her, watching Lu Mingfei carry Erii towards the infirmary.

“A man should be like Young Master Lu…” one of the boys in the crowd quietly remarked.

This statement immediately resonated with the other boys. Indeed, his current girlfriend personally helped another girl onto his back, and his ex-girlfriend even accompanied him to the infirmary… To live a life like Lu Dashao's is truly worthwhile.

……

Lu Mingfei was already very familiar with the school clinic. He had brought Su Xiaoqiang there at the beginning of the semester; during the school sports meet a while ago, he brought his "ex-girlfriend" Liu Miaomiao to the clinic in front of everyone; and today, he brought a different girl.

Lu Mingfei didn't know if it was his fate to be with the infirmary, or his girlfriends' fate to be with the infirmary.

Coincidentally, there was no one in the infirmary today either.

The infirmary was deserted and quiet, filled with the smell of disinfectant, with only the air conditioner blowing out. The white gauze curtains at the windows blocked the sunlight and the view that tried to shine in.

The school nurse on duty wasn't there again? Lu Mingfei suddenly began to have doubts: Was the school clinic just for show? A vanity project?

Why is it that the school nurse is never there when I come to the infirmary?
"Let's put Erii on the hospital bed first."

Liu Miaomiao had extensive experience with sprains: "Eri, your foot is sprained. You can't put weight on it. You have to keep your foot suspended in the air. You absolutely cannot put your foot on the ground."

Erii nodded.

Liu Miaomiao looked around and said, "I'll go to the next classroom and ask the teacher where she is. The teacher in the next classroom should know."

“Okay,” Lu Mingfei replied.

Liu Miaomiao left, and Su Xiaoqiang gently closed the door to the infirmary.

If others saw them in the infirmary, they'd think they were doing something clandestine... And with the door closed, it would be even easier to do something sneaky. Didn't Mingfei and Miaomiao try to kiss secretly in the infirmary before, only to be interrupted by me?
"We can't just wait here since the teacher isn't here."

Lu Mingfei said, "Let me check Erii's sprain first to see how serious it is, and see if I can do some simple treatment. Erii, what do you think?"

Erii pursed her lips and nodded. At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang asked, "Do you want me to fetch a basin of water? I remember that you should soak your ankle in ice water immediately after spraining it."

Chen Wenwen also said, "There should be medical ice packs in the freezer in the infirmary. I'll go check."

Both girls left the infirmary's rest room, leaving only Lu Mingfei and Erii behind.

Lu Mingfei squatted down in front of Erii and gently helped her untie her shoelaces: "Let me check your feet first, Erii. If it hurts anywhere, you can tell me."

Although Erii couldn't speak, the fact that her feet were obediently placed in Lu Mingfei's hands proved her consent. As Lu Mingfei removed Erii's canvas shoes and thin white socks, a faint scent of shower gel filled the air, and the dignified feet of the underworld princess fell into Lu Mingfei's hands.

Her toenails were so delicate they could be held in one hand. Although she hadn't applied nail polish, her toenails naturally smudged a light pink color. Her toes were slightly curled, like a shy girl lowering her head, and they were still slightly warm and moist.

Few could deny the delicate beauty of those feet. It's surprising that Erii, who is so tall, has such slender feet.

Lu Mingfei suppressed his admiration, but unconsciously let out a sound of doubt.

"what……"

It wasn't because Erii's feet were pretty, although they were indeed quite pretty... but because Erii's feet were clean and white, with no redness, swelling, or sprains visible.

"Which foot hurts?" Lu Mingfei asked Erii.

Erii moved her feet in Lu Mingfei's hands, indicating that both feet hurt.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei thought that it was probably because she had just sprained her ankle, so there was no obvious redness or swelling yet. So he tried pressing Erii's ankle, because this is usually the place most prone to sprains.

"Does it hurt here?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Erii nodded.

Lu Mingfei pressed Erii's instep and arch again, where the navicular bone is located: "And here?"

Erii nodded.
