Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 696 Pick-up
Gao Mi stood in the bustling crowd of people waiting to pick up passengers, glanced at the time on her right wristwatch, and looked up at the flow of people pouring out of the arrival area of ​​Terminal 1 at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Today he was wearing a DOLCE & GABBANA haute couture suit and a Huplot mechanical watch. To be honest, he's quite tall, but a bit thin, and people who are too thin often don't look good in suits.

Not to mention that he is still a sophomore in college. A college student who is still immature wearing a suit always gives people a sense of incongruity, like a little girl wearing her mother's high heels.

Fortunately, the tailor-made suit was very well cut, making his originally slender figure look very upright, and his hair styled with hair wax also made him look a bit more mature.

This made him stand out from the crowd of people waiting to pick up passengers outside the airport terminal, and several girls glanced at him as they came out of the exit.

His meticulously styled hair and impeccably tailored suit inevitably lead onlookers to wonder if the person he's picking up is someone he likes or a lover.

Of course, they are not lovers.

As the proud second-place student in advanced mathematics at Kassel College, the only thing that could fascinate him was the mysterious mathematical symbols; he didn't need a lover at all... Let me clarify! Of course, it's not that he couldn't find one, it's just that he didn't bother looking. Really.

The reason he appeared so formally and solemnly in the arrival hall of Beijing Capital International Airport today was because he was an intern teacher assigned by the college to welcome the new students of the preparatory class.

The academy has secret branches all over the world. It selects high school students from around the globe for its preparatory program, where they take the 3E exam. Upon graduation, they directly enter the main campus. Therefore, students specially recruited into the preparatory program are often of excellent mixed-race heritage.

As a member of the Kassel College Student Union, Gao Mi naturally knew about and valued this kind of etiquette.

Make a good first impression on your juniors. Once these outstanding students enroll in Kassel College, they will naturally develop a liking for you and be more inclined to become members of the student council.

These seemingly insignificant details are actually quite important. Once a sufficiently strong new student joins the student council, they will become a powerful force in the student council's confrontation with the Lionheart Society.

Many people mistakenly believe that the conflict between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council is confined to the campus. In fact, the conflict between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council began at the very beginning of the recruitment process... and even after entering the Executive Department, there were still so-called "Lionheart faction" and "student faction" within the Executive Department.

Today, he has come to welcome a new student from the preparatory class who is so influential that he can affect the situation between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, a factor that can disrupt the balance between the two sides of the scales...

Because he was the first student in Kassel College in decades to receive an "S" bloodline rating—the same rating as Principal Angers! He was far superior to the current Lionheart Society president and student council president!

Such an "S" grade student must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Lionheart Society!
Thinking about this, Gao Mi became increasingly uneasy. She looked down at her watch again and saw that it was 2:35.

The math whiz's mindset made him subconsciously start mentally calculating: his junior had told him the plane would land at 2:10, and it would take about fifteen minutes to walk from the exit of Terminal 1 to the arrival hall. Subtracting the time to exit the terminal and collect the luggage, his junior and his friends should be arriving soon.

Just as that thought crossed my mind, a voice suddenly rang out in front of me: "Senior Brother Gao Mi?"

The sudden sound startled Gao Mi. She looked up and saw a boy standing in front of her.

"You are... Lu Mingfei, my junior brother?" Gao Mi asked hesitantly, looking at the trolley full of checked luggage that the other person was pushing.

It wasn't to confirm the other person's identity, but rather a subconscious question.

Gao Mi was already very familiar with Lu Mingfei's appearance.

Even before the news broke that "there is an S-class student among the preparatory students at Kassel College," photos and personal information about Lu Mingfei had already spread throughout the entire Night Watchers forum. The Lionheart Society and the Student Council were among the first to obtain this information.

After all, for the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, whether or not there is an S-rank freshman is not important, but it is very important that the S-rank freshman does not fall into the other side's camp. Therefore, both sides have long been working hard to win Lu Mingfei over to their side.

As far as he knew, the people sent by the Lionheart Society seemed to be Jiu Deyaji and Wan Boqian. Like him, they had both applied for the Kassel College preparatory class internship teacher program.

Wan Boqian was a year younger than him, a student in the Department of Mechanics, and had the stereotypical image of a female science student—that is, not pretty enough. To be fair, Gao Mi thought she was actually a pretty girl, but she didn't stand out much in the beauty-filled Kassel College, so it wasn't a reliable indicator.

What worries Gao Mi the most is Aki Shuto. After all, even in a school full of beautiful girls, Aki Shuto is definitely one of the most eye-catching girls.

He wasn't afraid of competing head-on with the Lionheart Society... his only fear was that the Lionheart Society would use a honey trap! But it seemed that the Lionheart Society really intended to use a honey trap, as they actually sent the most beautiful single girl in the Lionheart Society to carry out the task of recruiting S-class freshmen!

Fortunately, because of his thesis report, Jiu Deyaji would have to stay at the Kassel College for another week before arriving in the capital, which gave him an advantage and allowed him to seize the opportunity to pick up Lu Mingfei at the airport.

However, to Gao Mi's surprise, Lu Mingfei in the photos didn't actually look that outstanding, and even looked a bit unattractive, but now that she's seen him in person...

He has the same facial features, so how come he looks so much more handsome now? His aura also has a sense of fragmentation, like cherry blossoms falling.

The stark difference between the photos and the real person's demeanor was what prompted Gao Mi to subconsciously ask Lu Mingfei a question.

At the same time, he wondered how Junior Brother Lu could recognize him from the crowd at a glance. Although he had given him a photo of himself beforehand, did Junior Brother Lu have such good eyesight?
“It’s me.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

Before Gao Mi could react, another sweet voice rang out: "Hello, Senior Brother Gao, I am Liu Miaomiao."

Upon hearing this, Gao Mi turned her head and noticed that there was a girl standing next to Lu Mingfei.

The girl wore black suede high-top boots, a black fitted top with a white silk scarf tucked into the stand-up collar, and a black and white checkered mini skirt that was about 20 centimeters above her knees. She was the kind of pretty girl with a sweet smile, the kind who, upon first glance, you'd think would be perfect for playing the female lead in an idol drama.

Gao Mi certainly remembered the name Liu Miaomiao, as she was one of the new students he was going to take on this time. He didn't expect her to be such a beautiful girl, not much less attractive than Jiu Deyaji.

He looked down and noticed that Liu Miaomiao's hand was in Lu Mingfei's arm... Could this junior sister Liu be junior brother Lu's girlfriend?

This was good news for him. His junior brother Lu actually had such a beautiful girlfriend; it seemed the Lionheart Society's honey trap was going to fail.

"Hello, Junior Sister Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Gao Mi nodded to Liu Miaomiao in greeting, but considering that she was probably Junior Brother Lu's girlfriend, he did not extend his hand to shake hers.

"Let's go out first." Gao Mi pointed to the exit of the arrival hall ahead.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei naturally nodded in agreement. After all, the arrival hall was packed with people, and being stuck here would be quite inconvenient.

Gao Mi squeezed through the crowd in the arrival area, while Lu Mingfei pushed a luggage cart and walked with Liu Miaomiao toward the exit of the arrival hall.

"By the way, Junior Brother Lu, the apartment you asked me to help you rent near the school, I've already rented it," Gao Mi said to Lu Mingfei, as if she had just remembered something.

This was a request, or rather a demand, that Lu Mingfei made to the academy before arriving in the capital. The academy generally doesn't concern itself with students' daily lives, but for this unprecedented S-level student, they went to great lengths to please him, generously fulfilling any requests they could.

The task of helping Lu Mingfei find a suitable place to rent naturally fell to Gao Mi.

Lu Mingfei's requirements were quite numerous: not only did it need to be close to the school, but it also needed to have at least three bedrooms and a living room, with a sufficiently large area; and the bathroom should ideally have a bathtub. For one person, Gao Mi's size was somewhat extravagant and wasteful.

However, being an S-class student, it's normal for him to have a somewhat extravagant lifestyle. The student council's high-ranking members even live in the castle-like Norton Building! Compared to them, Junior Brother Lu is practically frugal.

Moreover, helping someone find a house isn't too difficult. With a little time to build a mathematical model and filter it using big data, we can help Junior Brother Lu find a suitable house.

Even if it's not a task assigned by the academy, but just a request made by Lu Mingfei, as long as it's not too unreasonable, Gao Mi will do her best to help Lu Mingfei fulfill it.

Since Jiu Deyaji hasn't arrived yet, he needs to make the most of this week to build a good relationship with Junior Brother Lu!
Seeing Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei holding hands, looking so intimate, Gao Mi roughly understood why Junior Brother Lu insisted on renting a three-bedroom apartment or larger.

It seems that he, as the senior student, has fallen behind his junior students who are several years younger than him.

...Okay, he admits he's a little envious.

Just a little bit.

However, losing to an S-class student is not shameful, especially since he still has two years of university life left and has another chance.

"Ah, thank you for your help, senior brother. I'll definitely treat you to a meal later," Lu Mingfei replied.

"Don't mention it, it's nothing."

Seeing that the exit of the arrival hall was already in front of her, Gao Mi remembered that besides Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao, she also had a few junior girls to pick up. She turned around to ask Lu Mingfei to wait for her here for a while, as she still had to pick up a few junior girls.

Before he could even speak, Lu Mingfei said, "Senior Brother Gao, could you please watch these luggage for me? I have some things to take care of and need to go back."

Gao Mi was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Okay..."

Lu Mingfei thanked her and walked back with Liu Miaomiao.

Gao Mi watched Lu Mingfei's figure disappear into the opposing flow of people, wondering what Lu Mingfei was going to do when he turned back.

He took out his phone and found the phone numbers of the other female students he needed to answer.

Norma bought plane tickets for the other female students and junior brother Lu on the same flight. She doesn't know if those female students have already left.

In short, I should first send them a text message explaining the situation, asking them to wait for me in the arrival area, or simply have them come to the exit of the arrival hall to find me. Although Lu is a key person the student union wants to win over, we can't neglect the female students either. We should treat both juniors equally.

After composing the text message, I found the names of Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang, and Xia Mi. A notification sounded, and the message was just sent. Looking up, I saw Lu Mingfei in my line of sight, pushing an airport luggage cart piled high with suitcases.

...Huh? Why isn't it Junior Sister Liu standing next to him?
At first, he thought he was seeing things because of his nearsightedness. After blinking a few times, he looked up at Lu Mingfei's direction and realized it wasn't Liu Miaomiao.

The girl holding hands with Lu Mingfei was a lively-looking girl with a high ponytail. She wore a brown suede knee-length skirt and matching suede boots, with a few centimeters of thigh showing between the skirt and boots. She wore checkered socks and a white sweater. A brightly colored ELLE scarf bounced up and down with her jumps.

The girl's youthful and energetic face was less about being pretty and more about being breathtaking. If there was still room for discussion about whether Liu Miaomiao or Jiu Deya was more beautiful, then this girl was undoubtedly more stunning than Jiu Deya.

At this point, Gao Mi was completely bewildered, but what shocked him was far from over.

As Lu Mingfei drew closer, Gao Mi realized that he wasn't just accompanied by one girl. Her mathematically gifted mind made her instinctively count the number of people: one, two, three, four…

Liu Miaomiao was among these girls, of course. She was actually following beside Lu Mingfei, but she had been blocked by the flow of people coming out of the exit. Besides her and the girl with the high ponytail, there were two other pretty girls following behind Lu Mingfei.

The four girls surrounding Lu Mingfei, their laughter and chatter creating a beautiful scene that naturally drew the attention of those exiting the aircraft.

Even when Lu Mingfei was already standing in front of him, Gao Mi still hadn't reacted.
