Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 740 Catching Adultery...

Su Enxi belatedly realized what was happening.

Why does everything in the dream feel so real...? Because it's not a dream at all, it's reality.

Lu Mingfei somehow sneaked into his room and even got onto his bed!

Su Enxi subconsciously lowered her head and met Lu Mingfei's gaze, who was huddled under the covers. Thinking about what had just happened with Lu Mingfei, Su Enxi's already flushed face burned even hotter.

If Sanwu hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted her, she might already be with Lu Mingfei...!
Whether Lu Mingfei had been planning this day for a long time or not, now was clearly not the time to settle scores with this guy. The most important thing was to keep the fact that this guy was in his room a secret.

If Sanwu saw that he was completely naked right now, and that this guy was also naked in his bed, who knows if Sanwu would misunderstand and think that something had happened between them?
...Okay, I did almost have something happen with that guy...but I was just fooled by him!
Thinking of this, Su Enxi looked at Lu Mingfei with a mixture of shame and indignation, and also a hint of coquettishness.

Fortunately, there was a small living room simply divided by half a wall between the doorway and the room. From the doorway, you could only see her upper body and not the lower part of the bed. Otherwise, just seeing the mound of flesh under the covers, resembling a small mountain, would have been enough to guess that Lu Mingfei was hiding in her bed.

She winked at Lu Mingfei, who was still under the covers, signaling him to stay quiet at the door.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, understood Su Enxi's meaning without saying a word.

Upon hearing Zero's voice, he belatedly realized what was happening and stopped his actions that might have alerted the enemy. He immediately understood that this was not a dream at all... After thinking for a moment, he realized that he might have accidentally entered the wrong room after getting up to get some fresh air in the middle of the night.

Although I don't know why Su Enxi is cooperating with me so much... the most important thing right now is obviously to keep it a secret from Zero.

He winked at Su Enxi, indicating that he understood and would cooperate.

It's unclear why these two are so in sync, but after receiving Lu Mingfei's response, Su Enxi turned her gaze back to Zero at the door.

"Lu Mingfei?"

Su Enxi tried to sound puzzled, as if she knew nothing. She blinked, pulled the blanket up to cover her chest, and answered Zero in a strange tone, "I don't know? Isn't he in your room?"

Zero, standing at the door, gently shook her head, still wearing only a thin nightgown.

“He wasn’t in the room… He got up once before and left the room. I thought he went to the bathroom. But after waiting for half an hour and he still hadn’t returned, I came out to look for him.”

really.

After hearing Zero's words, Lu Mingfei was certain that he must have gone out for some fresh air and then entered Su Enxi's room by mistake.

But judging from Zero's tone... did he accidentally wake her up when he left the room? And she's actually been waiting until now.

However, these words were interpreted differently by Su Enxi.

He never went back after leaving the room... So, it turns out this guy had been planning this for a long time after all?!
She deliberately waited until midnight, and after Sanwu was fast asleep, she secretly got up and sneaked into her room, wanting to lure her drowsy and confused self into doing this and that with him.

He's sleeping in the same room with a nobody, free to take advantage of her, yet he goes to all this trouble to find me?! Or does this guy think nobodies are too poor and prefers girls with good figures?!
However, Su Enxi immediately realized something was wrong... She remembered that after this guy climbed into her bed, he went straight to sleep.

I accidentally grabbed it... and then poked the guy's face, waking him up.

Even the very first kiss, it was she who took the initiative to snuggle into his arms.

Su Enxi paused for a moment after thinking about this, and finally realized that Lu Mingfei might have simply gotten up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and gone back to the wrong room.

Waking up, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Mingfei lying beside her. She instinctively thought it was just another erotic dream, and in the dream, she willingly offered herself to Lu Mingfei. That's why Lu Mingfei did those things to her.

So the person who almost wronged the girl with no connections wasn't Lu Mingfei... but herself?!

Zero tilted his head: "Enxi?"

The cool voice pulled Su Enxi out of her chaotic and dazed thoughts. She quickly replied, "Oh, maybe you went for a walk? The moonlight is quite nice tonight."

The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted them… Her mind was truly a mess; she had even uttered such a clumsy statement as, “Lu Mingfei might have gone out for a walk in the middle of the night.” Was this guy Su Dongpo or Zhang Huaimin? Would he go out in the middle of the night to admire the clear, still night sky because he couldn’t sleep?
Even Lu Mingfei, who was obediently hiding under the covers, couldn't help but complain in his heart. He thought to himself, "Su Enxi usually seems quite clever and can talk eloquently and fluently when chatting with others. Why is she so dazed right now?"
Surprisingly, Zero seemed to accept the answer and nodded: "That's true. Then I'll go change my clothes and go outside to look for Lu Mingfei."

"You're going to find Lu Mingfei?"

Su Enxi paused for a moment, then quickly forced a smile and replied, "No, that's not necessary. The Zhou family is so big; you might not even run into him. Maybe he'll be back soon."

She knew her best friend's personality well; if she went out to find Lu Mingfei, she would definitely wander around the entire Zhou family compound before coming back. Sanwu was just that earnest and naive.

Searching the entire Zhou family home... how long would that take? I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

“It’s okay, I’m not that sleepy,” Zero said.

Su Enxi thought to herself, is this a matter of being sleepy or not...?

Before she could say anything more, Zero had already stepped out of the door, and with a click, the door was locked again.

Su Enxi breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that she had finally managed to fool Sanwu, but she immediately looked down at the quilt again.

"What are you standing there for? Get up and go back to your room... Zero might actually search the entire Zhou family just to find you!"

"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded upon hearing this, and was about to crawl out of Su Enxi's bed.

But in the instant my gaze fell down... I saw the garden full of fragrant grass again.

Su Enxi paused for a moment, only then realizing that her legs had been spread apart in front of Lu Mingfei the whole time.

The shameful memories that I had finally managed to ignore resurfaced.

"What are you looking at!" Su Enxi snapped, biting her lip as she closed her legs, her pretty face flushed with shame and anger. Lu Mingfei also quickly climbed off the bed, putting on the clothes he had just taken off... Suddenly, he felt like a scumbag who had almost been caught cheating on his girlfriend with her best friend and was now rushing home to fool his girlfriend.

He put on his slippers by the bedside. Lu Mingfei walked to the door, glanced back at the room, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

From the doorway... it seems like you can see the head of the bed, right?

……

He tiptoed back to his and Zero's room, only to find it empty. Zero was nowhere to be seen, except for a nightgown that Zero had changed out of on the sofa. Judging from the style, it was one that Zero had worn before.

It seems that while he was getting dressed in Su Enxi's room, Ling really did go out to look for him.

Lu Mingfei wasn't sure whether he should feel relieved or not. At least it meant that Ling probably hadn't seen the slippers he'd placed on Su Enxi's bedside table. It was probably because the room was rather dark.

However, the thought that Zero had actually gone out to look for him made Lu Mingfei's mind stir slightly again.

It seems he really does owe quite a lot of debt.

The thought of debt suddenly brought back memories of what had happened in Su Enxi's room earlier.

If Zero hadn't suddenly barged in and interrupted his conversation with Su Enxi... they might have really made a mistake by now.

Hmm... judging by the timeline, it should be said that we are making a mistake right now?
Lu Mingfei had no idea how he had somehow wandered into the wrong room and ended up in Su Enxi's room. He seemed to make these kinds of silly mistakes all the time; he used to often go into the wrong women's restroom, and now he had simply gone into the wrong girls' room.

However, there's one thing he hasn't figured out yet. The reason he almost made a mistake with Su Enxi is because he thought it was all a dream. After all, waking up to see the beautiful boss lying in bed with him, even throwing herself at him, usually makes one think it's a dream...

The question is, why would Su Enxi...

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, though he was somewhat puzzled by Su Enxi's initiative to offer herself.

After all, even if he were to actually play a game in a remote corner of reality, even in a visual novel, he would still need to go through certain events with the female lead to build up affection before he could unlock the romance CGs.

But it seems like he and Su Enxi didn't have much interaction, did they?
The last time we were somewhat close was around Christmas last year, when I was in the mall carrying Su Enxi during a couples' princess carry challenge. I can't let that one time ruin everything...

However, he still realized something.

That's the debt he owes, and it seems there's room for it to keep piling up.

More importantly, he and Su Enxi almost had that kind of thing happen... How should he face Su Enxi after tonight?
"..."

Really big head.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, clearing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and walked to the door to change his shoes.

Anyway, I can't figure these things out in a short time, and the more I think about it, the more my head aches. I might as well put them aside for now. The most important thing right now is to go out and find some change.

It hasn't been long since he left Su Enxi's room, so Zero shouldn't have gone very far. If I quicken my pace, I should be able to catch up with Zero.

The mountain breeze was surprisingly cool on a summer night. Lu Mingfei walked out of the room and closed the door. Just as he reached the courtyard gate, it creaked open.

Ling pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Lu Mingfei standing there, her pretty face showed a rare moment of surprise before regaining its usual cool demeanor. She spoke calmly, "You..."

Lu Mingfei hadn't expected to run into Ling at the door, and was caught off guard. He quickly tried to come up with an excuse.

"Um... I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. The moonlight was quite beautiful tonight, so I went out for a walk. I just got back and didn't see you in the room."

"Yes, the moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Ling nodded and spoke softly, as if explaining to Lu Mingfei, "I came back to get my phone; I forgot it."

Lu Mingfei understood immediately; so that's why Ling had turned back right after leaving. This saved him the trouble of chasing after Ling, otherwise he'd have to agonize over whether to turn left or right when leaving the Zhou family home—it's such a complicated place…

"Are you still going out to see the moon?" Zero asked.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "No, that's not necessary."

Are you getting ready for bed?

"……Um."

"Shall we go back to the room together?"

Under the moonlight, Zero's skin was as white as ice, reminding Lu Mingfei of Zero's nickname "Ice Princess" from his previous life at Kassel College. But even if she was the Ice Princess, her invitation to Lu Mingfei to "go back to the room together" seemed a little ambiguous, tickling his ears.

Lu Mingfei hummed in agreement and obediently followed beside the Ice Princess. It seemed that this was the only answer he could give in this situation.

Inside the slightly ajar door, Su Enxi, already dressed in her pajamas, knelt by the door, her eyes fixed on the two people outside through the crack. Only after seeing Lu Mingfei and Ling return to the room did she gently close her door.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and locked the door, leaned against the door, wrapped his arms around his thighs, rested his chin on his knees, and let out a long sigh.

Her gaze fell on the messy bed in front of her, and she suddenly felt a little agitated again.

She doesn't possess the superb acting skills of Mai, nor can she maintain a poker face regardless of the situation like Sanwu. Her ability to manage facial expressions has always been rather average.

So, what expression should she wear when she wakes up this morning to face Sanwu... and that guy?
