Dragon Clan: Star Core Hunter Lu Mingfei

Chapter 25 The Lion in the Eyes is Asleep

Binhai City, Old Town.

The taxi drove into the neighborhood where my uncle and aunt lived.

The old apartment building still looked familiar in my memory, it hadn’t changed at all… and indeed it shouldn’t have changed, after all, he had only been “missing” for a month.

The summer is hot and the summer vacation is only half over.

But Lu Mingfei still felt his eyes were hot and he felt like crying.

"It's not a sin for a man to cry~"

The girl next to him shook her head and sang the background music for Lu Mingfei.

In her opinion, a teenager who had just been robbed and was about to go home only needed to cry loudly and vent his emotions, but as the only classmate around him, 'Sister Xia Mi' had a lot to consider!
After singing, she opened her arms and said she wanted to give Lu Mingfei a big hug.

Lu Mingfei curled his lips and said, "I am a serious person and I am not interested in physical contact with little girls."

"Hey - what do you mean by little girl?"

"Also, what's that look in your eyes? Do you dislike my small breasts?" Xia Mi put on a fierce expression, like an angry little lion baring its teeth.

"I didn't say anything, you said it yourself!"

Lu Mingfei nodded seriously and opened the car door. "I will return the few hundred dollars to you as soon as possible. See you tomorrow!"

As he said this, he was about to get out of the car and run away.

Xia Mi was quick and grabbed him.

"What? You don't want to hit someone?" Lu Mingfei looked alert.

"You just left without even leaving any contact information. How are you going to find me in the future? Here, this is my QQ number. Remember to add me."

Xia Mi lowered her head and nodded, holding Lu Mingfei's hand with both hands, and wrote a string of QQ numbers on the back of his hand with a carbon pen. The girl's hair fell on the back of her hand, which made her feel a little itchy.

Lu Mingfei looked at the number and blinked curiously: "Before it was a mirror, now it's a carbon pen, are you Doraemon? With a four-dimensional pocket?"

"Wrong, it should be Doraemon!"

Xia Mi rolled her eyes at him and waved goodbye, "Remember to add me, see you tomorrow!"

Buzz—the engine starts.

Lu Mingfei stood under the eaves of the apartment building, watching the taillights of the taxi disappear from his sight.

A gust of cold wind blew, and he shrank his neck in fear and quickly ran upstairs.

……

"Ding Dong! The little white rabbit successfully arrived home! It had a safe journey without any unnecessary twists and turns." The female voice in front of the surveillance camera cheered and tore open a bag of potato chips.

"That girl got along so well with him the first time they met. Kassel Academy really knows how to select people."

“Tsk tsk~ Mai, from the sound of your voice, could it be that you also want to show up and cosplay as Lu Mingfei’s junior sister to have a sweet encounter?”

"Wrong, it should be Senior Sister Zhixin."

"It's almost done. The main task the boss has assigned to us is to secretly observe and protect Little White Rabbit and find out what happened to him. Before he encounters a life-and-death crisis, there is no need for us to personally take action."

"Problem? I don't think he has any problem."

“Uh uh… do you believe that? Those golden eyes of his that have never gone out since he opened his eyes are not cosmetic! They are clearly the result of a violent awakening of his bloodline. The purity of his bloodline is terrifyingly high, just like a pure-blooded dragon in human skin!”

The voice of the potato chip girl turned to doubt: "But his gaze, even if he looks directly at me, doesn't make ordinary humans feel afraid..."

"Maybe because he's not serious? Even a lion is very obedient when his eyes aren't fierce."

Mai casually said, "He's been missing for a month, his mind isn't clear anymore, isn't it normal for the lion hidden in his eyes to fall asleep?"

"That's the question! Why did he disappear for a month?"

"Who knows? Maybe some wise woman discovered that Little White Rabbit was actually a rare pony, so she knocked him out and locked him in a basement where even satellites can't find him, and trained him for a month."

"Ahem... this isn't funny, Mai!"

"Then how do you explain it? He suddenly disappeared and reappeared. For a month, no trace of him could be found anywhere in the world. Could it be that he awakened the Crimson King?"

"Phuket~" The potato chip girl frowned and shook her head, crunching the potato chips like a little hamster.

"That's all we can do. We can only do what we should do, and the rest... we can only let the boss worry about it."

……

Uncle's house, Lu Mingfei's bedroom.

The tightly closed window suddenly opened a crack.

Lu Mingfei climbed into the room through the window from outside.

He didn't dare go through the main door, for fear of startling his aunt and getting scolded.

Anyway, he had walked the path from his room window to the corridor compartment at least eight hundred times, so it wouldn't be a problem even if it rained, so he just climbed in through the window.

The layout of the house has not changed much.

There is still a single bed, a study desk, and an old IBM laptop.

This room is shared by Lu Mingfei and his cousin Lu Mingze, so the furniture will not be removed if Lu Mingfei does not come home for a month.

Compared with a month ago, the biggest difference should be Lu Mingze... The little fat boy who is 160 cm tall and weighs 160 kg is now sleeping sideways on the bed, snoring loudly, like a pig living in a single room in a pigsty, feasting in his dream.

"You're quite relaxed without me taking up your seat."

Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue, stood up and turned on the computer on the study desk.

As expected, all the QQ numbers were deleted.

The fat boy probably thought that he would not come back, so he downloaded a bunch of random stuff on his computer, filling up the memory.

Lu Mingfei even found several Japanese short films!
But the little fat boy is only 15 years old!

So, Lu Mingfei decisively dragged it to the Recycle Bin and deleted it.

"Brother, this is all for your own good. It's not time for you to indulge yourself at your age." Lu Mingfei grinned wickedly.

There are few notification sounds for new messages.

Lu Mingfei has been offline for a month, and there are almost no friends who care about him.

The pinned friend is Chen Wenwen, and her avatar is a girl wearing a baseball cap.

A series of new news...abnormal!
It's so abnormal!

Chen Wenwen is such a reserved lady, how could she actually take the initiative to call him?
Or many times?
“Could it be that she noticed that I haven’t been online for a long time and was worried that something happened to me?” Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows and immediately opened the chat history.

And then...he was disappointed.

The earliest message was on July 7, about three days after he traveled through time.

Chen Wenwen invited him to attend the holiday party of the literature club and needed someone to help move books, so she asked him if he was free...

If Lu Mingfei had the chance to reply at that time, he would have definitely run there happily!

But plans can't keep up with changes. Because of the time travel, Lu Mingfei missed the message, and when he was cleaning the trash can in the neon district of Tianyi Wu, he accidentally picked up the seriously injured raccoon Xingbao...

This is nothing.

But since then, Chen Wenwen sent a message to Lu Mingfei every now and then.

Sometimes it was just a simple greeting, sometimes it was sharing foreign poetry collections, and sometimes it was inviting him to participate in community activities...

This is quite rare!

In the past, when Lu Mingfei would reply immediately to every new message, Chen Wenwen would always reply with a few perfunctory words and then send a reply: "I'm going to take a shower."

Then end the conversation and go offline.

As a result, now that Lu Mingfei ignored her, Chen Wenwen took the initiative instead.

She took the initiative to deliberately show her presence in front of him...
